The distance you travel while hiking is a function of how fast you hike and how long you hike at this rate. You usually maintain

a speed of three miles per hour while hiking. Write a statement that describes how the distance that you travel is determined. Then identify the independent and dependent variables of this function.
a. The distance traveled is three times the number of hours I have hiked. The independent variable is hours. The dependent variable is distance.
b. The distance traveled is three times the number of hours I have hiked. The independent variable is distance. The dependent variable is hours..
c. The hours I have hiked is three times the distance. The independent variable is distance. The dependent variable is hours.
d. The hours I have hiked is three times the distance. The independent variable is hours. The dependent variable is distance.

Please select the best answer from the choices provided.​

Answer:

If hours is represented as h, your distance is therefore 3*h (due to that for every hour, you walk 3 miles. For example, in one hour you'd walk 3 miles, in 2 hours you'd walk 3+3=3*2=6 miles,etc.). If distance is represented by d, we get 3*h=d. Since you have to figure out the distance from the equation (that's the purpose of it!), the distance is the dependent variable. In addition, since you can't have 2 separate variables in one equation, h is the independent variable due to that you have to put a number for h in to figure out the distance

So basically the answer is A.

What is the surface area of the cylinder with height 5 mi and radius 6 mi? Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.
Delicious77 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

h = 5 mi

r = 6 mi

Surface Area of Cylinder =

2\pi \: rh + 2\pi {r}^{2}  \\  = 2\pi(6)(5) + 2\pi ({6}^{2})  \\   = 2\pi(30) + 2\pi(36) \\  = 60\pi + 72\pi \\  = 132\pi \\  = 414.690 {mi}^{2} (nearest \: thousandth)

Please explain with working!!! Find the set of values of x that satisfy the inequality 9x^2-15x&lt;6
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

-1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving a quadratic inequality, first solve it normally like you would for a normal quadratic equation. We have:

9x^2-15x

Ignore the less than sign and replace it with an equal sign and solve the quadratic for its zeros:

9x^2-15x=6

Subtract 6 from both sides:

9x^2-15x-6=0

Divide everything by 3:

3x^2-5x-2=0

Factor. Find two numbers that equal (3)(-2)=-6 that add up to -5.

-6 and 1 works. Thus:

3x^2-6x+x-2=0\\3x(x-2)+1(x-2)=0\\(3x+1)(x-2)=0

Find the x using the Zero Product Property:

3x+1=0 \text{ or }x-2=0\\x=-1/3\text{ or }x=2

Now, we need to replace the equal signs with symbols again. To do so, we need to test which symbol to place. Let's do the first zero first.

So, the first zero is:

x=-1/3

Assume that the correct symbol is >. Thus,

x>-1/3

Now, pick any number that is greater than -1/3. I'll pick 0 since it's the easiest. Now, plug 0 back into the very original inequality. If it works, then the sign is correct, if it doesn't, then simply use the opposite one. Therefore:

9x^2-15x

0 is indeed less than six, so our first correct solution is:

x>-1/3

For the second one, do the same thing. We have:

x=2

Assume that the correct symbol is <. Thus:

x

Again, pick any number less than 2. I'm going to use 0. Plug 0 back into the original equation

9x^2-15x

Again, this is correct. Therefore, x<2 is also the correct inequality.

So together, we have:

x>-1/3 \text{ and } x

Together, we can write them as:

-1/3

(Note that we don't need to worry about the "or equal to" part since the original inequality didn't have it.)

Question 1
Because the period is 2π, and the amplitude is 1obtain
f(x) = sin(x)
Because the horizontal shift is π, obtain
f(x) = sin(x - π)
Because the vertical shift is -4, obtain
f(x) = sin(x - π) - 4

Answer: 1. f(x) = sin(x - π) - 4

Question 2
The radius is 36/2 = 18 in.
1 revolution (360°) is the circumference, which is
2π(18) = 36π in
When the revolution is 62°, the distance traveled is
(62/360)*(36π) = (31/5)π in

Answer: 3. (31π)/5

Question 3.
Consider f(x) = 3cos(2x-π) - 1
f(0) = 3cos(-π) - 1 = -4
f(π/2) = 3cos(0) - 1 = 2
Rate of change = (2+4)/(π/2) = 12/π

From the graph, the rate of change of g(x)  is
3/(π/2) = 6/π

Consider h(x) = sin(x) - 4
h(0) = 0 - 4 = -4
h(π/2) = 1 - 4 = -3
Rate of change = (-3+4)/(π/2) = 2/π
Therefore h(x) has the smallest rate of change

Answer: h(x)
