Breakfast eaten and the slim camp-outfit lashed to the sled, the men turned their backs on the cheery fire and launched out into the darkness. At once began to rise the cries that were fiercely sad—cries that called through the darkness and cold to one another and answered back. Conversation ceased. Daylight came at nine o'clock. At midday the sky to the south warmed to rose-colour, and marked where the bulge of the earth intervened between the meridian sun and the northern world. But the rose-colour swiftly faded. The grey light of day that remained lasted until three o'clock, when it, too, faded, and the pall of the Arctic night descended upon the lone and silent land.

As darkness came on, the hunting-cries to right and left and rear drew closer—so close that more than once they sent surges of fear through the toiling dogs, throwing them into short-lived panics.

At the conclusion of one such panic, when he and Henry had got the dogs back in the traces, Bill said:

"I wisht they'd strike game somewheres, an' go away an' leave us alone."

"They do get on the nerves horrible," Henry sympathized.

They spoke no more until camp was made.

As darkness came on, the hunting-cries to right and left and rear drew closer, ...

It creates a feeling of being trapped.
It creates a sense of action. I AM GIVING 50 POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem with this kind of question is that the author tells you what you should see in that sentence. The dogs experienced fear. Any other answer you suggest is not what the author means. So you are guessing. It is adding to the notion that the arctic is not a friendly place and you cannot go sunbathing in and be comfortable in the middle of winter.

A is as good an answer as you are likely to get, but I don't think it's right.

What is the value of x?

Answers

Answer:

a. 125

Step-by-step explanation:

the angle labeled "x" is supplementary with the angle that has a measure of 55°

Supplementary angles add up to equal 180°

This means that x + 55 must equal 180

Note that we've just created an equation that we can use to solve for x.

We now solve for x using the equation we just created.

x + 55 = 180

subtract 55 from both sides

x = 125

The answer is a

a. 125 is the correct answer. I was about to do a long explanation but I just realized that the person before me said the same thing.

Suppose you have 57 coins in a jar consisting entirely of dimes and quarters, worth a total of $10.65. How many dimes are in the jar?

Answers

Answer:

  24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent the number of dimes. Then (57-d) is the number of quarters, and the total value (in cents) is ...

  10d +25(57 -d) = 1065

  -15d +1425 = 1065 . . . . . . simplify

  -15d = -360 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 1425

  d = -360/-15 = 24 . . . divide by the coefficient of d

There are 24 dimes in the jar.

Graph the line with slope -2 passing through the point (4, 1)

Answers

Answer:

Use points (4,1) and (3,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the other coordinates are (x,y).

Then, we know (1-y)/(4-x)=2. So if y is -1, and x is 3, then we get:

[1-(-1)]/(4-3)=2/1=2

So draw the two points, (4,1) and (3,-1) on a coordinate plane, and use a ruler to make a line that goes through both the points.

miles per hour

Answers

Answer:

7 miles / hour

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm taking this to mean she walked 3.5 miles. She did this 1/2 hour.

Givens

d (distance ) = 3.5 miles

t (time) = 1/2 hour

r (rate) = ?

Formula

r = d/t

Solution

The easiest way to do this is to change the fractions to decimals.

t = 1/2 = 0.5 hours

r = 3.5 / 0.5

r = 7 miles per hour.

The function f is given by f(x)=(x^{3}+bx+6)(g(x)), where b is a constant and g is a differentiable function satisfying g(2)=3 and g′(2)=−1. For what value of b is f′(2)=0?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle b = -22[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

[tex]\displaystyle f(x) = (x^3+bx+6)(g(x))[/tex]

Where b is a constant and g is a differentiable function.

And we want to determine the value of b such that f'(2) = 0.

Find f' using the product rule:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} f'(x) & = \frac{d}{dx}\left[ (x^3+bx+6)(g(x))\right] \\ \\ & = \frac{d}{dx}\left[ x^3 + bx + 6\right] g(x) + (x^3+bx+6)\frac{d}{dx}\left[ g(x)\right] \\ \\ & = (3x^2+b)(g(x)) + (x^3 + bx + 6)(g'(x))\end{aligned}[/tex]

Substitute using known values and solve for b:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned}f'(2) = 0 & = (3(2)^2+b)(g(2)) + ((2)^3+b(2)+6)(g'(2)) \\ \\ 0 & = (12+b)(3) + (14+2b)(-1) \\ \\ 0 & = 22 +b \\ \\ b & = -22\end{aligned}[/tex]

In conclusion, the value of b is -22.

The function f is given b is a constant and g is a differentiable function the value b (-8.4),

Let's start by finding the derivative of the given function f(x) with respect to x:

f(x) = (x³ + bx + 6) × g(x)

Using the product rule for differentiation, the derivative of f(x) is:

f'(x) = (x³ + bx + 6) × g'(x) + g(x) × (3x² + b)

Now we are interested in finding the value of b for which f'(2) = 0. So, let's plug in x = 2 and use the information given about g(2) and g'(2):

f'(2) = (2³ + 2b + 6) × g'(2) + g(2) × (3 × 2² + b)

Since g(2) = 3 and g'(2) = -1,

f'(2) = (8 + 2b + 6) × (-1) + 3 × (3 × 4 + b)

= (2b + 14 - 8) + 3× (12 + b)

= 2b + 6 + 36 + 3b

= 5b + 42

Now, we want to find the value of b for which f'(2) = 0:

5b + 42 = 0

Subtracting 42 from both sides:

5b = -42

Dividing both sides by 5:

b = -8.4
