A jet travels 2301 miles against the wind in 3 hours and 2811 miles with the wind in the same amount of time. What is the rate of the jet in still air and what is the rate of the wind

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The rate of the jet in still air is 852 miles per hour. The rate of the wind is 85 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let suppose that jet travels uniformly, that is, at constant speed, the expressions for its travels against the wind and with the wind are, respectively:

Against the wind

[tex]v -u = \frac{\Delta x_{1}}{\Delta t_{1}}[/tex]

With the wind

[tex]v +u = \frac{\Delta x_{2}}{\Delta t_{2}}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]v[/tex] - Speed of the jet in still air, measured in miles per hour.

[tex]u[/tex] - Speed of wind, measured in miles per hour.

[tex]\Delta x_{1}[/tex], [tex]\Delta x_{2}[/tex] - Distances travelled by jet against the wind and with the wind, measured in miles.

[tex]\Delta t_{1}[/tex], [tex]\Delta t_{2}[/tex] - Times against the wind and with the wind, measured in hours.

By adding both expressions:

[tex]2\cdot v = \frac{\Delta x_{1}}{\Delta t_{1}}+\frac{\Delta x_{2}}{\Delta t_{2}}[/tex]

[tex]v = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(\frac{\Delta x_{1}}{\Delta t_{1}} + \frac{\Delta x_{2}}{\Delta t_{2}} \right)[/tex]

Given that [tex]\Delta x_{1} = 2301\,mi[/tex], [tex]\Delta t_{1} = 3\,h[/tex], [tex]\Delta x_{2} = 2811\,mi[/tex] and [tex]\Delta t_{2} = 3\,h[/tex], the speed of the jet is:

[tex]v = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(\frac{2301\,mi}{3\,h}+\frac{2811\,mi}{3\,h} \right)[/tex]

[tex]v = 852\,\frac{mi}{h}[/tex]

The rate of the jet in still air is 852 miles per hour.

Lastly, the rate of the wind is:

[tex]u = \frac{\Delta x_{2}}{\Delta t_{2}}-v[/tex]

[tex]u = \frac{2811\,mi}{3\,h}-852\,\frac{mi}{h}[/tex]

[tex]u = 85\,\frac{mi}{h}[/tex]

The rate of the wind is 85 miles per hour.

10) Gabe put up a fence around his rectangular vegetable garden this weekend.
The garden has a perimeter of 38 ft and an area of 48 ft? What is the length and
the width of the garden?

Answers

Answer:

The length is 16 ft, and the width is 3 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L = length & let W = width.

The perimeter of a rectangle is

P = 2(L + W)

The area of a rectangle is

A = LW

We know the perimeter and the area, so we substitute those values int he equations above and we switch sides in both equations.

Perimeter: 2(L + W) = 38

Divide both sides by 2:

L + W = 19

Area: LW = 48

We have a system of two equations in two unknowns:

L + W = 19

LW = 48

Solve the first equation for L and substitute it into the second equation.

L = 19 - W

(19 - W)W = 48

19W - W^2 - 48 = 0

Multiply both sides by -1, and rearrange the order of the terms.

W^2 - 19W + 48 = 0

(W - 16)(W - 3) = 0

W - 16 = 0 or W - 3 = 0

W = 16 or W = 3

Use W = 3 to find L

L = 19 - W

L = 19 - 3

L = 16

Answer: The length is 16 ft, and the width is 3 ft.

In a recent year a baseball team paid seven times as much to their ace pitcher as they paid to their shortstop. If they paid ​$ 24 million for the two​ salaries, what did they pay each​ player?

Answers

Answer:

Shortstop =$3,000,000;

ace pitcher = $21,000,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let amount earned by shortstop = s

Then, amount earned by ace pitcher = 7 times amount earned by shortstop = (7 × s) = 7s

Total amount Paid = $24,000,000

Amount earned by each player :

s + 7s = 24,000,000

8s = $24,000,000

s = 24,000,000 / 8

s = 3,000,000

Hence,

Salary earned by shortstop = $3,000,000

Salary earned by ace pitcher = (7 * 3,000,000) = $21,000,000

#6) Beth saved a total of $30 per month for her first car. Beth saved

domain and range of the situation representing the amount of money

Beth saved in respect to time she saved? Write your answer in

interval notation.

D:




R:

Answers

Answer:

Domain = 0≤m≤20 for mEZ+

Range = $100≤A≤$700 for all values of m

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial amount in the account = $100

Amount saved by beth monthly = $30

Amount in the bank after X month = $100+$30X where X is the number of months beth intend to save up to.

The amount in her bank in her first month = $100+$30(1)

= $100+$30

= $130

Amount saved in the second month will be when X = 2

= $100+$30(2)

= $100+$60

= $160

The amount in the bank will keep increasing by $30 monthly until the 20month.

The amount he will have in her bank in the 20th month will be at when X = 20

= $100+30X

= $100+30(20)

= $100+$600

= $700

This means that her money will be $130 in the first month and will keep increasing until it reaches $700 in the 20th month.

The DOMAIN will be the interval of the time she used in saving. Since she saved for 20months, the domain will be expressed as 0≤m≤20 for mEZ+ where m is the number of month she uses to save.

The Range will represent the amount she saved within the specified time and will be expressed as $100≤A≤$700 for all values of m.

Where $100 is the amount in the account initially and $700 is the amount in the account after 20 months.

The first three results have a decimal portion as the answer. So there is a remainder here. The remainder is the leftover bit that couldn't make another full value. Only choice D results in a whole number that isn't a decimal value, so this does not have a remainder.

As a smaller example, let's say we had 20 cookies and 3 people. If we want to divide the cookies evenly, then each person gets 20/3 = 6 full cookies and there would be 2 cookies left over (6*3 = 18 are eaten so 20-18 = 2 is left over). Notice that 20/3 = 6.67 approximately. The non-whole number decimal value indicates we have a remainder. If we had 21 cookies, then each person gets 21/3 = 7 full cookies with nothing left over, so there's no remainder here.

Let a and b be positive integers. 23a×23b=?


Answers

Answer:

A) 23^(a+b)

Step-by-step explanation:

if you multiply a number with diferrent exponents, the exponents will always add.

The bases are the same, so we add the exponents

The answer is [tex]23^{a+b}[/tex] which is choice A

============================================

Here's an example of why we add the exponents

Lets say we want to multiply 7^2 with 7^3

7^2 = 7*7

7^3 = 7*7*7

We have two copies of "7" being multiplied with 7^2, then we have an additional three copies of "7" with 7^3. Overall there are 2+3 = 5 copies of "7" that we multiply out.

So,

7^2*7^3 = (7^2) * (7^3)

7^2*7^3 = (7*7) * (7*7*7)

7^2*7^3 = 7*7*7*7*7

7^2*7^3 = 7^5

This example is fairly small in that we don't have that many copies of the base being multiplied. For larger examples, its best to use the formula mentioned

a^b*a^c = a^(b+c)

A recipe for sesame chicken calls for
cup of chopped carrots. If the recipe
2
is for 4 servings, how many cups of
carrots are needed for 9 servings?

Answers

Answer:

Cups of carrot needed for 9 servings = 4.5 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

A recipe for sesame chicken calls for cup of chopped carrots

recipe 2 is for 4 servings

That is

2 cups of carrot = 4 servings

2 : 4

= 1 : 2

1 cup of carrot = 2 servings

how many cups of

carrots are needed for 9 servings?

Let x= number of carrot needed for 9 servings

1 : 2 = x : 9

1 /2 = x/ 9

Cross product

1*9 = 2*x

9=2x

Divide both sides by 2

9/2 = x

x= 4.5 Or 4 1/2

Solve : - 43 - 4x = 3(1 - 9x)

Answers

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

-43 - 4x = 3(1 - 9x)

Distribute the 3:

-43 - 4x = 3 * 1 - 3 * 9x

-43 - 4x = 3 - 27x

Add 27x to both sides:

-43 - 4x + 27x = 3 - 27x + 27x

-43 + 23x = 3

Add 43 to both sides:

-43 + 43 + 23x = 3 + 43

23x = 46

Divide both sides by 23:

23x / 23 = 46 / 23

x = 2

Answer:

The answer is

x = 2

- 43 - 4x = 3(1 - 9x)

Expand the terms

That's

- 43 - 4x = 3 - 27x

Group like terms

Send the constants to the right side of the equation and those with variables to the left side

That's

- 4x + 27x = 43 + 3

Simplify

23x = 46

Divide both sides by 23

[tex] \frac{23x}{23} = \frac{46}{23} [/tex]

We have the final answer as

x = 2

Nine years ago, Tarah opened a savings account with her bank. She started with a balance of $359 and has not made any withdrawals or deposits since then. If her interest rate is 8% each year, how much interest has accrued using simple interest?

Answers

Answer:

The interest accrued is $258.48.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Initial balance in the savings account = $359

Interest rate = 8%

Time for which no withdrawals or deposits were done = 9 years

To find:

Simple Interest accrued = ?

Solution:

First of all, let us have a look at the formula for simple interest.

[tex]SI = \dfrac{PRT}{100}[/tex]

Where P is the Principal Amount.

R is the annual rate of interest

T is the time in years.

Here, we are given:

P = $359

R = 8%

T = 9 years

Let us put all the values in the formula:

[tex]SI = \dfrac{359 \times 8 \times 9}{100}\\\Rightarrow SI = \dfrac{359 \times 72}{100}\\\Rightarrow SI = \dfrac{25848}{100}\\\Rightarrow \bold{SI = \$258.48}[/tex]

So, the interest accrued is $258.48.

The absolute value of a number can never be negative; it is always positive. It is a distance past 0. Therefore it cannot be in the negatives.
Absolute value can never be negative. The definition of absolute value is the distance a number is from 0 expressed as a numerical value. You can’t have negative distance therefore you can’t have negative absolute value.

c is the y intercept

From the question

[tex]y = \frac{1}{3} x + 4[/tex]

Comparing it with the general equation above

Slope / m = 1/3

Since the lines are perpendicular to each other the slope of the other line is the negative inverse of the original line

That's

Slope of perpendicular line = - 3

Equation of the line using point (-4 , 1) and slope - 3 is

[tex]y - 1 = - 3(x + 4) \\ y - 1 = - 3x - 12 \\ y = - 3x - 12 + 1[/tex]
