Sam and Liam raced each other up and then down the hill. Sam's average speed up the hill was 1 mph, and his average speed down w

as 9 mph. Liam ran up the hill and down the hill with the same speed, 2 mph. If the path from the bottom to the top of the hill is 1 mile long, how much time did it take each of the boys to finish - and who was the winner?

Answer:

Sam's time was 1 hour and 6.66 minutes (or 1 and 1/9 hours)

Liam's time was was 1 hour

So in conclusion, Liam was faster

Step-by-step explanation:

We got Sam's time by 1/1 because Sam was walking 1 mph and the length to reach the top of the hill is 1 mile. So it would take Sam 1 hour to walk 1 mile. Walking down the hill Sam's speed was 9 mph. So the equation would be 1/9. So you would get 1/9. 1/9 of 60 is 6.66 repeating.

For Liam it is pretty simple. Since he is going up the hill at 2 mph and the length of the bottom of the hill to the top is 1 mile, it would be 30 minutes. Repeat this for the top to the bottom and in total it would be 1 hour.

Hope this helps

Which equation is y=(x+3)2+(x+4)2 rewritten in vertex form
Julli [10]
Vertex coordinates: (h, k)

Vertex form: y = a(x-h)^2 + k

y = 2(x+3) + 2(x+4)

Use distributive property:

y = 2((x+3)+(x+4))

Simplify:

y = 2(2x+7)

y = 4x+14

This is slope - intercept form, not vertex form. Vertex form is for quadratic equations - this is a linear equation.

Answer (in slope - intercept form):

y = 4x+14

Saira is using the formula for the area of a circle to determine the value of .
klio [65]

For this problem, we just have to use the values we're given to calculate the approximate value of pi.

The formula presented is

\pi=Ar^{-2}

When you have a negative exponent, we can use the following property

a^{-b}=\frac{1}{a^b}

Using this property, our problem turns out to be

\pi=\frac{A}{r^2}

Now, we just need to plug the given values on this equation

\pi=\frac{50.265}{4^2}=3.1415625\approx3.142

The approximated value for pi is 3.142.
