A certain ferry moves up and down a river between Town A and
B. It takes the ferry two hours to travel to Town A and only an
hour and thirty minutes to return to Town B. If the current is 5mph
how far apart are the two cities?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 60 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

It takes ferry 2 hours to travel to town A and only [tex]1.5\ hr[/tex] to travel back to town B.

Speed of current is [tex]u=5\ mph[/tex]

Suppose the speed of the ferry is [tex]v[/tex] mph

Distance traveled in both the cases is same, but it took more time traveling to city A that is, ferry is moving upstream and downstream for returning time.

[tex]\Rightarrow 2(v-5)=1.5(v+5)\\\Rightarrow 2v-10=1.5v+7.5\\\Rightarrow 0.5v=17.5\\\Rightarrow v=35\ mph[/tex]

Distance between the towns is [tex]2\times (35-5)=60\ \text{miles}[/tex]

Answer 2

Answer:

The distance between the two towns is 60 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance between A and B is d.

A to B , t = 2 hour

B to A , t' = 1.5 hour

Speed of current, u = 5 mph

Let the speed of ferry is v.

distance = speed x time

d = (v - 5) x 2 = (v + 5) x 1.5

2 v - 10 = 1.5 v + 7.5

0.5 v = 17.5

v = 35 mph

So, the distance is

d = (35 - 5) x 2 = 60 miles.

When a constant force acts upon an object, the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass. When a certain constant force acts upon an object with
mass 7 kg, the acceleration of the object is 4 m/s?. If the same force acts upon another object whose mass is 2 kg, what is this object's acceleration?

Answers

Answer:

14 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question

a ∝ F/m.............. Equation 1

Where a = aceleration, m = mass, F = force

make F the subject of the equation

F = ma............ equation 2

Given: m = 7 kg, a = 4 m/s²

Therefore,

F = 7(4)

F = 28 N

For another object whose mass is 2 kg,

Make a the subject of equation 2

a = F/m

a = 28/2

a = 14 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is "normal distribution". This is because in a normal distribution, the mean, median and mode are equal. What this means is that the distribution will be symmetrical with a bell curve unlike in positive or negative skew where it is skewed to either the left or right.

On a coordinate plane, line D F goes through points (negative 1, negative 3) and (2, 3). Point G is at (negative 4, negative 4).

Answers

The line passes through the y-axis at point (0,4).

Step-by-step explanation:

On a coordinate plane, line DF goes through points (-1,-3) and (2,3).

So, the slope of the line DF is \frac{- 3 - 3}{- 1 - 2} = 2

−1−2

−3−3

=2

Then the straight line which is parallel to DF will be given by

y = 2x + c.

Where, c is any constant and we have to evaluate it if this line passes through the point (-4,-4).

So, - 4 = 2(- 4) + c

⇒ c = 4

So, the straight line which is parallel to DF and passes through the point (-4,-4) is y = 2x + 4.

Now, putting x = 0, we get, y = 4.

Therefore, the line passes through the y-axis at point (0,4). (Answer)

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

cos A = adjacent / hypotenuse

sin A = opposite / hypotenuse

Therefore, sin A / cos A =

(opposite / hypotenuse)  / (adjacent / hypotenuse)

= (opposite/hypotenuse) * (hypotenuse / adjacent)

= opposite / adjacent

= tan A

Therefore, tan A = sin A / cos A = y/x

The incubation time for Rhode Island Red chicks is normally distributed with mean of 22 days and standard deviation of approximately 3 days. Of 1000 eggs are being incubated, how many chicks do we expect will hatch in 19 to 28 days

Answers

Answer:

We should expect 818 chicks to hatch in 19 to 28 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Normally distributed with mean of 22 days and standard deviation of approximately 3 days.

This means that [tex]\mu = 22, \sigma = 3[/tex]

Proportion between 19 and 28 days:

p-value of Z when X = 28 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 19.

X = 28

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{28 - 22}{3}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2[/tex] has a p-value of 0.977.

X = 19

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{19 - 22}{3}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1[/tex] has a p-value of 0.159.

0.977 - 0.159 = 0.818

Out of 1000:

0.818*1000 = 818

We should expect 818 chicks to hatch in 19 to 28 days

Which equation in slope-intercept form represents a line that is parallel to y=1/2x-2 and passes through the point (-8,1)?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle y=\frac{1}{2}x+5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the slope in slope-intercept form of a line that is parallel to:

[tex]\displaystyle y=\frac{1}{2}x-2[/tex]

And passes through the point (-8, 1).

Recall that parallel lines have equivalent slopes.

Since the slope of our given line is 1/2, the slope of our new line must also be 1/2.

We are also given that it passes through the point (-8, 1). Since we are given a slope and a point, we can use the point-slope form:

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

Substitute 1/2 for m and (-8, 1) for (x₁, y₁). Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle y-(1)=\frac{1}{2}(x-(-8))[/tex]

Since we want the equation in slope-intercept form, we can isolate y. Distribute:

[tex]\displaystyle y-1=\frac{1}{2}x+4[/tex]

Therefore, our equation is:

[tex]\displaystyle y=\frac{1}{2}x+5[/tex]

if <ABC measures 100 and is inscribed in a circle O. find <BAO and <BCO​

Answers

Answer:

<BCO​ = <BAO​ = 20degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

If <ABC measures 100 and is inscribed in a circle O. find <BAO and <BCO​

To get <BAO and <BCO​, we need to get <AOC first.

From the figure, it can be seen that triangle ABC is an isosceles trinagle. Hence;

<BAC + <BCA + 100 = 180

Since <BAC = <BCA

<BAC + <BAC = 180 - 100

2<BAC = 80

<BAC = 80/2

<BAC = 40

Also;

<BAO = <BCO​ and <BAO = <BAC/2

<BAO = 40/2 = <BCO​

Hence <BCO​ = <BAO​ = 20degrees

Using Euler's formula, how
many edges does a polyhedron
with 5 faces and 5 vertices have?
[?] edges
Euler's Formula: F + V = E + 2

Answers

Answer:

8 edges

Step-by-step explanation:

Form the formula F+V=E+2

U make E the subject by moving everything thing else to the left hand side

F+V-2=E

this implies 5+5-2=E

10-2=E

therefore Edges = 8

The polyhedron with 5 faces and 5 vertices has 8 edges.

To determine the number of edges in a polyhedron with 5 faces and 5 vertices using Euler's formula (F + V = E + 2).

we need to substitute the given values into the equation.

Given:

Number of faces (F) = 5

Number of vertices (V) = 5

Substituting these values into Euler's formula, we have:

5 + 5 = E + 2

Simplifying the equation:

10 = E + 2

Subtracting 2 from both sides:

E = 10 - 2

E = 8

Therefore, the polyhedron with 5 faces and 5 vertices has 8 edges.

I have another question I need help with. How do I solve for the missing angle?

Answers

Answer:

The angle measures approximately 18.19°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we want to find the angle and we are given the side adjacent to the angle and the hypotenuse, we can use the cosine ratio. Recall that:

[tex]\displaystyle \cos \theta = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}[/tex]

The adjacent side is 19 and the hypotenuse is 20. Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle \cos \theta = \frac{19}{20}[/tex]

We can take the inverse cosine of both sides:

[tex]\displaystyle \theta = \cos^{-1}\frac{19}{20}[/tex]

Use a calculator (make sure you're in Degrees Mode!). Hence:

[tex]\theta \approx 18.19^\circ[/tex]

Hi I really need help with this question.So if you can help me thank you so much and if you can help me can you explain it step by step please and thank you so much your a life saver <3

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll answer the question, but before I do, let me crab about the reliance on a diagram. You should never have to answer a question where you make assumptions about the diagram. It should state the the longest leg in one triangle = 2x - 4, and the hypotenuse in the larger triangle is 42, while in the smaller one it is x + 8\

Added to which you have to state that there is a ratio between the large triangle and the small one.

24/(2x - 4) = (x + 8)/42             Cross Multiply

24*42 = (x + 8)*(2x - 4)             Remove the brackets. Combine the left

1008 = 2x^2 - 4x + 16x - 32     Combine the right   and switch

2x^2 + 12x - 32 = 1008             Subtract 1008

2x^2 + 12x - 1040 = 0                Divide by 2

x^2 + 6x - 520  = 0

(x + 26)(x - 20) = 0

x = - 26 which has no meaning

x = 20 which is the answer.

2x - 4 = 2*20 - 4 = 36

x + 8 = 28

I'm not sure what you want -- the side lengths or just x.

Step-by-step explanation:

the ratio

24:2x-4=x+8:42

24/2x-4=x+8/42

24×42=(x+8)(2x-4)

1008=2x(x+8)-4(x+8)

1008=2x²+16x-4x-32

1008=2x²+12x-32

1008+32=2x²+12x

1040=2x²+12x

0=2x²+12x-1040

OR

24/2x-4=x+8/42

LCM=42(2x-4)

42(2x-4)×24/2x-4=42(2x-4)×x+8/42

42×24=(2x-4)(x+8)

1008=2x(x+8)-4(x+8)

1008=2x²+16x-4x-32

1008=2x²+12x-32

1008+32=2x²+12x

A ball is thrown straight out at 80 feet per second from an upstairs window that's 15 feet off the ground. Find the ball's horizontal distance from the window at the moment it strikes the ground.
a. 0.96825
b. Can't be found
c. 77.46
d. 6.33
e. 212.23

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the horizontal distance the ball travels, we need to know first how long it took to hit the ground. We will find that time in the y-dimension, and then use that time in the x-dimension, which is the dimension in question when we talk about horizontal distance. Here's what we know in the y-dimension:

a = -32 ft/s/s

v₀ = 0 (since the ball is being thrown straight out the window, the angle is 0 degrees, which translates to no upwards velocity at all)

Δx = -15 feet (negative because the ball lands 15 feet below the point from which it drops)

t = ?? sec.

The equation we will use is the one for displacement:

Δx = [tex]v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex] and filling in:

[tex]-15=(0)t+\frac{1}{2}(-32)t^2[/tex] which simplifies down to

[tex]-15=-16t^2[/tex] so

[tex]t=\sqrt{\frac{-15}{-16} }[/tex] so

t = .968 sec (That is not the correct number of sig fig's but if I use the correct number, the answer doesn't come out to be one of the choices given. So I deviate from the rules a bit here out of necessity.)

Now we use that time in the x-dimension. Here's what we know in that dimension specifically:

a = 0 (acceleration in this dimension is always 0)

v₀ = 80 ft/sec

t = .968 sec

Δx = ?? feet

We use the equation for displacement again, and filling in what we know in this dimension:

Δx = [tex](80)(.968) +(0)(.968)^2[/tex] and of course the portion of that after the plus sign goes to 0, leaving us with simply:

Δx = (80)(.968)

Δx = 77.46 feet
