Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

I think the easiest way to go about this is to choose on of the answers and fill it in to see if it's correct. Since you only have 4 possible answers, there's no need to actually solve this.

In the question it already tells us that x does not equal 0, so that answer is automatically not correct. Now your down to three possible answers.

Start with -3. First, fill in the x with -3 for what the equation is supposed to equal. That gives you 3/-3. Simplified, that is -1. Now put -3 in for the x in the equation. That gives you 3/2(-3) + 1/2. After running that through your calculator or solving it, you end up with 0. So -3 is not your answer.

Next we'll try the 2. Do as we did last time, and fill in the x on the answer part of the equation. You now have 3/2. That doesn't simplify so it stays as is. Now for the equation. That makes it 3/2(2) +1/2. Put that in your calculator or solve, and you get 5/4. 5/4 does not equal 3/2 so 2 is not your answer.

That leaves 3. You can go ahead and run through the steps above using 3 if you want to double check, but since it's the only answer left, there isn't really a need to.

Hope this helps :)

That's a copy of the figure from the other post; I didn't look at the answer.

We have Start(0,0)

$A(-16.55\cos 25, -16.55 \sin 25)$

$B=A+(5 \cos 53, 5 \sin 53)$

$C=B+(20,0)$

$C=(-16.55\cos 25 + 5 \cos 53+20, -16.55 \sin25 - 5 \sin 53)$

$C \approx (8.00968, -10.9875) \approx(8,-11)$

Your team takes the direct path at a constant speed of 6 miles per hour.

Our team. $T=\sqrt{8^2+11^2}/6 = 2.27 \textrm{ hours}$

Team Red follows the riddle and travels at 8 mph from Start to Post A, 9 mph from Post A to Post B, and 11 mph from Post B to Finish.

$T=16.55/8 + 5/9 + 20/11 = 4.44 \textrm{ hours}$

Team Blue follows the riddle and travels at a constant speed of 10 mph.

 $T=(16.55 + 5 + 20)/10 = 4.155 \textrm{ hours}$

Team Yellow follows the riddle and travels at a constant speed of 11 mph, but stops at Post A for 30 minutes and stops again at Post B for another 30 minutes.

$T=(16.55 + 5 + 20)/11 + 30/60 + 30/60=4.78 \textrm{ hours}$

Winner: our team, then Blue, then Red, then Yellow
