Building and solving an equation to model the situation, it is found that it takes 4 min for the prairie dog to reach 13 feet underground.

  • Initially, the dog is 5 feet underground.
  • Each minute, the dog goes 2 more feet underground.

Hence, the underground height of the dog after t seconds is given by:

h(t) = 5 + 2t

The time it takes for the dog to reach 13 feet underground is <u>t for which h(t) = 13</u>, hence:

h(t) = 5 + 2t

13 = 5 + 2t

2t = 8

t = \frac{8}{2}

t = 4

It takes 4 min for the prairie dog to reach 13 feet underground.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations that  could be used to determine the number of chicken wings and sliders in the combination meal is:

75w + 250s = 800

w = 2s

Where:

w = chicken wings

s = sliders

The two equations derived from the question are known as simultaneous equations. Both equations have to be solved together in order to determine the number of wings and sliders.

The total calories of wings = number of wings x calories of each wing

75 x w = 75w

The total calories of sliders = number of sliders x calories of each sliders

250 x s = 250s

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

<h2>This equation has no natural roots.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2+x-5=0\\\\\text{Use the quadratic formula for}\ ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\text{For the given equation:}\\\\a=3,\ b=1,\ c=-5\\\\b^2-4ac=1^2-4(3)(-5)=1+60=61\\\\x=\dfrac{-1\pm\sqrt{61}}{(2)(3)}=\dfrac{-1\pm\sqrt{61}}{6}\notin\mathbb{N}
