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

Solve for x:
5 - sqrt(x) + sqrt(3 x - 11) = 6

Subtract 5 from both sides:
sqrt(3 x - 11) - sqrt(x) = 1

(sqrt(3 x - 11) - sqrt(x))^2 = -11 + 4 x - 2 sqrt(x) sqrt(3 x - 11) = -11 + 4 x - 2 sqrt(x (3 x - 11)) = 1:
-11 + 4 x - 2 sqrt(x (3 x - 11)) = 1

Subtract 4 x - 11 from both sides:
-2 sqrt(x (3 x - 11)) = 12 - 4 x

Raise both sides to the power of two:
4 x (3 x - 11) = (12 - 4 x)^2

Expand out terms of the left hand side:
12 x^2 - 44 x = (12 - 4 x)^2

Expand out terms of the right hand side:
12 x^2 - 44 x = 16 x^2 - 96 x + 144

Subtract 16 x^2 - 96 x + 144 from both sides:
-4 x^2 + 52 x - 144 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with three terms:
-4 (x - 9) (x - 4) = 0

Divide both sides by -4:
(x - 9) (x - 4) = 0

Split into two equations:
x - 9 = 0 or x - 4 = 0

Add 9 to both sides:
x = 9 or x - 4 = 0

Add 4 to both sides:
x = 9 or x = 4

5 - sqrt(x) + sqrt(3 x - 11) ⇒ 5 - sqrt(4) + sqrt(3×4 - 11) = 4:
So this solution is incorrect

5 - sqrt(x) + sqrt(3 x - 11) ⇒ 5 - sqrt(9) + sqrt(3×9 - 11) = 6:
So this solution is correct

The solution is:

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

a. yes

b. no

c. no

d. no

e. yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to answer yes or no for each of the numbers

a) Yes

If we compare with the general form

y = mx + b

m

is slope and b is y-intercept

so, 2 is slope and 3 is y intercept; so 3 in y-intercept is (0,3)

b. No

This is the point-slope form we are trying to

get

Evaluating this, we have that

y-3 = 2x - 6

y = 2x-6 + 3

y = 2x-3

c) NO

Just insert the values and check here

-1 = 2(5) + 3

it does not work

d) No

Substitute

-4 = 2(-5) + 3

e) Yes

This is the point-slope form

y + 3 = 2x + 6

y = 2x + 6-3 = 2x + 3

The store is selling lemons at $0.56 each. Each lemon yields about 2 tablespoons of juice. How much will it cost to buy enough l
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

$6.72

Step-by-step explanation:

The store is selling lemons at $0.56 each. Each lemon yields about 2 tablespoons of juice.How much will it cost to buy enough lemons to make three  9-inch lemon pies, each requiring half a cup of lemon juice?

1 cup = 16 table spoon of juice

half a cup =  8 table spoon of juice

1 pie require half a cup of lemon juice. so 1 pie requires 8 tablespoon of lemon juice

Each lemon yields about 2 tablespoons of juice

2 times 4 = 8

So 4 lemon needed to make a pie

cost of 1 lemon = 0.56

cost of 4 lemons = 0.56 \cdot 4=2.24

cost of lemon for making 3 pie= 3 \cdot 2.24=6.72
