Fred jumped into a lake from a rock 7 feet above the surface of the water. He sank five feet into the water and continued to swi

m down two additional feet.
•Sophie stated that the total distance would be 0 because the heights were additive inverses of each other.
•Jake disagrees and thinks that Fred covered 14 feet. He found his answer using a number line.
Do you agree with Sophie or Jake?

Answer:

Sophie

Step-by-step explanation:

Jake is wrong because when he jump he was out of the water and you're supposed to count what he swam in the water so Sophie is correct.

Suppose f(x)=x^2-2 find the graph of f(1/2x)
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

graph g(x)=1/4 x^2 - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

You are to replace x with (1/2x) in the expression x^2-2

So you have (1/2x)^2-2

1/4 x^2-2

Graph some points for g(x)=1/4 x^2-2

The vertex is (0,-2) and the parabola is open up.

I would graph 2 more points besides the vertex

x   |  g(x)                     ordered pairs to graph

-----------                         (-1,-1.75) and (0,-2) and (1,-1.75)

-1        -1.75

0         -2

1         -1.75

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, -2) and (3, -5)?
Ksivusya [100]

Slope of the line is -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Given points are (1, -2) and (3, -5)
  • Step 2: Equation for slope, m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

⇒ m = (-5 - -2)/(3 - 1) = -3/2

You and Mr. Fowles have decided to race each other at the Boston Marathon (26 miles long). Mr. Fowles runs at a steady 4.2 miles
Maslowich

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is the time rate of change of velocity, it is the ratio of distance to time.

Mr. Fowles runs at a steady 4.2 miles per hour. The time taken to cover 26 miles is:

speed = distance / time

time = distance / speed = 26 / 4.2 = 6.19 hour

I run at 3 miles per hour. I was given 3 mile lead, so the remaining distance is 23 miles (26 - 3). The time needed to complete the 23 miles is:

time = distance / speed = 23 / 3 = 7.67 hour

a) Let d be the distance Mr Fowles catches me. Hence:

time = (d + 3)/4.2; also time = d/3

(d + 3)/4.2 = d/3

3d + 9 = 4.2d

1.2d = 9

d = 7.5 miles

He would catch me at 10.5 (7.5 + 3) miles from the starting point.

b) Mr. fowles finishes after 6.19 hour. At that time, the distance is have covered is:

distance = 6.19 * 3 mi/hr = 18.57 mile

Distance behind = 23 mile - 18.57 = 4.43 mile

c) time longer = 7.67 hour - 6.19 hour = 1.48 hour

Solve the inequality.
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

\huge x >  \frac{7}{3}  \\

Step-by-step explanation:

8( \frac{1}{2} x -  \frac{1}{4} ) > 12 - 2x \\

<u>Expand the terms in the bracket</u>

That's

8( \frac{1}{2} x) - 8( \frac{1}{4} ) > 12 - 2x \\ 4x - 2 > 12 - 2x

Move -2x to the other side of the inequality

4x + 2x - 2 > 12 \\ 6x - 2  > 12

<u>Move - 2 to the other side of the inequality</u>

6x > 12 + 2 \\ 6x > 14

Divide both sides by 6

\frac{6x}{6}  >  \frac{14}{6}  \\

We have the final answer as

x >  \frac{7}{3}  \\

Hope this helps you
