Question

A mountain climber is scaling a 500-foot cliff. The function y=125x+50 shows the relationship between time (in hours) and elevation (in foot). How many hours will it take for the mountain climber to scale the entire cliff​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 3.6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the climber is 500.

The function y=125x+50 shows the relationship between time (in hours) and elevation (in foot).

When the climber scale the entire cliff, put y = 500. So,

500=125x+50

Taking constant at one side

500-50=125x

450=125 x

$x=\dfrac{450}{125}\\\\x=3.6\ h$

So, it will take 3.6 hours to scale the entire cliff.
