They will rest after they hike `2` miles. Then they will hike the remaining `1.75` miles to the lookout. The trail the hikers wi

ll use to return from the lookout is `0.5` miles shorter than the trail they will use to go to the lookout. Each hiker will bring `0.25` gallons of water for each mile to and from the lookout. What is the total amount of water each hiker will need to carry?

Answer:

1.75 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to calculate how far the hike is going up the trail. They first hike 2 miles and then another 1.75 miles after resting so...

2 + 1.75 = 3.75 miles

The trail is 3.75 miles long, the question states that the return path is 0.5 miles shorter, therefore...

3.75 - 0.5 = 3.25 miles

Leaving us with a total hiking distance of

3.75 + 3.25 = 7 miles.

Since each hiker will carry 0.25 gallons for each mile we simply need to multiply this amount by the total number of miles in the hike.

7 * 0.25 = 1.75 gallons

Finally, we can see that each hiker will carry a total of 1.75 gallons of water for the entire hike.

Answer:

B and D.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when we added the two functions together, we get:

h(x)=-x+9

However, when we multiplied them together, we get:

j(x)=-9x

Let's first consider what we can determine from this.

If we add them together, we get a linear equation. However, this doesn't mean that our two original functions are linear since if we have, say, -x^2 and x^2-x+9, they will cancel and form a linear equation if we add them together.

<em>However</em>, since we know that if we multiply the two functions together, we get a linear equation, this means that both our original functions must be linear.

<em>But</em>, if we multiplied two linear functions, then we should get a quadratic, since x times x will yield x².

Therefore, this means that one of our linear functions is a horizontal line with no x variable. This is the only way to have a linear equation when multiplied.

Therefore, we have determined that both of our original functions are linear functions, and one (only one of them) is a horizontal line.

Let's go through each of the answer choices.

A) Both functions must be quadratic.

This is false as we determined earlier. If this was true, then the resulting function should be a quartic and not a line. A is false.

B) Both functions must have a constant rate of change.

Remember that all linear equations have a constant rate of change.

Since we determined that both our original functions are linear equation, this means that both our functions will have a constant rate of change.

So, B is true.

C) Both functions must have a y-intercept of 0.

Remember that one of our functions is a horizontal line.

If the y-intercept was 0, then the equation of our horizontal line will be:

y=0

And we know that anything multiplied by 0 will give us 0. However, the product of our function is -9x.

So, C cannot be true.

Rather, only our linear equation (not the horizontal line) may have a y-intercept of 0.

D) The rate of change of either f(x) or g(x) must be 0.

Remember that we determined that one of our lines must a horizontal.

Remember that horizontal lines have a slope of 0. In other words, the rate of change is 0.

So, D is true.

E) The y-intercepts of f(x) and g(x) must be opposites.

Well, since B and D is are true, this must be false since we can only select two options ;D

But, we can think about this. Note that if we multiply the two functions, we have a function <em>without</em> a y-intercept.

Remember that our horizontal line is <em>not</em> 0. So, the y-intercept of the horizontal line is a number.

So, the opposite of a number is another number.

So, if we multiply two non-zero numbers, we <em>must</em> get another number.

However, from our product, j(x)=-9x, we don't have another number. The y-intercept from this is 0.

Therefore, the two y-intercepts <em>cannot</em> be opposites of each other. If it was so, then we should have a y-intercept. So, E must be false.

In fact, this means that the y-intercept of our line (not the horizontal one) <em>must </em>be 0.

So, our answers are B and D.

And we're done!

Edit: Some (minor) errors in reasoning. Sorry!

Determine the greatest intergral value of K for which 2x^2 - Kx +2 =0 will have non-real roots ...Use quadratic inequalities to
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Greatest integral value of K = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nature of the roots of a quadratic equation is determined by the sign of the discriminant, b^2 - 4ac.  For non-real roots this is negative.

2x^2 - kx + 9 = 0

The discriminant = (-k)^2 - 4*2*2 , so:

k^2 - 16 < 0  for non-real roots.

k^2 < 16

k <  √16

k  < 4

So the answer is 3.

The greatest integral value is 8.
