It is recommended that backpackers should carry no more than 20% of their body weight on long hikes and no more than 10% of thei

r body weight on short hikes.
Part A
A hiker who weighs 160 pounds is planning a long hike. The weight of their backpack when packed with essential equipment is 15 pounds. Write an inequality to show how many pounds, p, the hiker can still add to their backpack and stay within the recommended weight.

Part B
A hiker who weighs 180 pounds is planning a day hike. The weight of their backpack when packed with essential equipment is 7.5 pounds. How much weight can the hiker still add to their backpack and stay within the recommended weight?
Place an X in the table to show whether each weight is within recommendation or not.

Step-by-step explanation:

part A

20% of 160

0.2×160=32

the hiker can still add = 32-15=17pounds

(X)

part B

10% of 180

0.1×180=18

the hiker can still add =18-7.5=10.5pounds

(X)

Just tell me the answer I have 5 min
skad [1K]
I think the answer is 21. I’m not sure but if I remember it’s 40 + 20 = 60. 180 - 60 = 120 and then it’s a vertical angle which is equal so then it would be 120 + 39 = 159. Then 180 - 159 = 21. Sorry if this is wrong I haven’t done this in a while. Have a good day!

How do I solve question 6 through 8?<br> Solve for me
rewona [7]

The equations of the functions are y = -4(x + 1)^2 + 2, y = 2(x - 2)^2 + 1 and y = -(x - 1)^2 - 2

<h3>How to determine the functions?</h3>

A quadratic function is represented as:

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

<u>Question #6</u>

The vertex of the graph is

(h, k) = (-1, 2)

So, we have:

y = a(x + 1)^2 + 2

The graph pass through the f(0) = -2

So, we have:

-2 = a(0 + 1)^2 + 2

Evaluate the like terms

a = -4

Substitute a = -4 in y = a(x + 1)^2 + 2

y = -4(x + 1)^2 + 2

<u>Question #7</u>

The vertex of the graph is

(h, k) = (2, 1)

So, we have:

y = a(x - 2)^2 + 1

The graph pass through (1, 3)

So, we have:

3 = a(1 - 2)^2 + 1

Evaluate the like terms

a = 2

Substitute a = 2 in y = a(x - 2)^2 + 1

y = 2(x - 2)^2 + 1

<u>Question #8</u>

The vertex of the graph is

(h, k) = (1, -2)

So, we have:

y = a(x - 1)^2 - 2

The graph pass through (0, -3)

So, we have:

-3 = a(0 - 1)^2 - 2

Evaluate the like terms

a = -1

Substitute a = -1 in y = a(x - 1)^2 - 2

y = -(x - 1)^2 - 2

Hence, the equations of the functions are y = -4(x + 1)^2 + 2, y = 2(x - 2)^2 + 1 and y = -(x - 1)^2 - 2
