A motor-boat takes the same time to travel 80 miles downstream as it takes to travel 60 miles upstream. If the speed of the stream is 5 miles/hr, find the speed of the motor-boat in still water.

Answers

Answer 1

Speed is the ratio of distance travelled to time taken. It is given by:

Speed = distance / time

Let a represent the speed of the motor boat in still water and t represent the time. Hence for downstream:

a + 5 = 80/t

t = 80/(a + 5)

For upstream:

a - 5 = 60/t

a - 5 = 60 / (80/(a + 5))

a - 5 = 0.75a + 3.75

0.25a = 8.75

a = 35 miles per hour

The speed of the motor-boat in still water is 35 miles per hour.

Suppose x=7 is a solution to the equation 4x-2(x+a)=8 how can you find the value of a that make the equation true

Answers

Answer:

a = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x = 7 is a solution, substitute x = 7 into the equation and solve for a

4(7) - 2(7 + a) = 8 , that is

28 - 2(7 + a) = 8 ( subtract 28 from both sides )

- 2(7 + a) = - 20 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

7 + a = 10 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

a = 3

Suppose that 600 yards of fencing material are available to fence in

two adjacent rectangular corrals sharing a common fence. Find the

dimensions of the corrals that will enclose a maximum area (Please help)

Answers

Answer:

Length = 150 yards

Width = 100 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

We want 600 yards of fencing that will result in the largest 2 fenced corrals, sharing a common border.

It will take the shape of a rectangle, with a dividing fence down the center.

Let W and L,  Width and Length of the larger enclosure.

See attachment.

W= Area of the larger enclosure.

The perimeter is 2W + 2L.

The dividing fence is 1W

We know that we only have 600 yards of fence, so:

2W + 2L + 1W = 600 yards

Area = W x L

---

3W + 2L  = 600    (yards)

2L  = 600 -3W

L = (600-3W)/2

L = 300 -(3/2)W

---

Use this expression in the Area calculation:

Area = W x L

Area = W x (300 -(3/2)W)

Area = 300W -(3/2)W^2)

To find the maximum area, take the first derivative and set to zero to find the value of W that results in the greatest area.

Area' = 300 -2(3/2)W)

0 = 300 - 3W

3W = 300

W = 100 yards

Since 3W + 2L  = 600

L = (600 - 3W)/2

L = (600 - 3(100))/2

L = 150 yards

Area = 150*100 = 15,000 yards^2

 

Laura is going to invest in a business. There is a 50% chance that she will make $8000, a 40% chance that she will lose $4000, and a 10% chance that she will break even (make $0). What is the expected value for Laura's investment?

Answers

Based on the various probabilities of outcomes, the expected value of the investment is $2,400

The expected value can be calculated as:

= ∑ (Probability of event happening x Payoff if event happens)

The expected value here is therefore:

= (50% x 8,000) + (40% x -4,000) + (10% x 0)

= $2,400

In conclusion, the expected value is $2,400.

There is a row of 15 trees in a garden. Starting from the first tree, a gardener marked every second tree, then, on his way back, he marked the first tree, and then every third tree. How many trees are left without a mark?

Answers

Answer:2

Step-by-step explanation:

15/3 = 5

15/2 = 7.5

+1

= 13

15 - 13 = 2

Answer:  5

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

Explanation:

The gardener starts at the first tree and then marks every second tree. So they'll skip a tree each time.

The set of trees he marks has the labels {1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15}. Basically it's the set of odd whole numbers between 1 and 15. Or you could notice that we add on 2 each time we need another tree to mark.

Then he goes back to the first tree and marks every third tree. So we have this new set: {1,4,7,10,13}. Start at 1 and add 3 each time to generate a new item.

Union the two sets mentioned and you'll get {1,3,4,5,7,9,10,11,13,15}

We see that the following trees aren't marked: {2,6,8,12,14}

There are  5   items in that last set.

Side note: The trees with labels {1,7,13} have been marked twice. There's a gap of 6 units between each adjacent label.

f(1)=−6
f(2)=−4

HURRY!!!!

Answers

f(3) = f(3-2) + f(3-1)
f(3) = f(1) + f(2)

then substitute using the values given so
f(3) = -6 + -4
so f(3) = -10

the value of function at n = 3 is  f( 3 ) is - 10.

To find the value of f( 3 ), we can use the given recursive formula:

f(n) = f( n - 2 ) + f( n - 1 )

We already have the values of f(1) and f(2):

f(1) = - 6

f(2) = - 4

Now, let's apply the recursive formula to find f(3):

f(3) = f( 3 - 2 ) + f( 3 - 1 )

f(3) = f(1) + f(2)

f(3) = - 6 + (- 4)

f(3) = - 10

So, the value of f(3) is - 10.

Answer:

(1) x=15/2

(2) x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) 4x−1 /2 =x+7

2x+ −1 /2 =x+7(Distribute)

2x+ −1 /2 =x+7

Step 2: Subtract x from both sides.

2x+ −1 /2 −x=x+7−x

x+ −1 /2 =7

Step 3: Add 1/2 to both sides.

x+ −1 /2 + 1 /2 =7+ 1 /2

x= 15 /2

(2) 3x+2=( 2x+13)/ 3

3x+2= 2 /3 x+ 13 /3  (Distribute)

3x+2= 2 /3 x+ 13 /3

Step 2: Subtract 2/3x from both sides.

3x+2− 2 /3 x= 2 /3 x+ 13 /3 − 2 /3 x

7 /3 x+2= 13 /3

Step 3: Subtract 2 from both sides.

7 /3 x+2−2= 13 /3 −2

7 /3 x= 7 /3

Step 4: Multiply both sides by 3/7.

( 3 /7 )*( 7 /3 x)=( 3 /7 )*( 7 /3 )

Answers

Answer:

The first option so [tex](3\frac{1}{2}, -4)[/tex] is the answer

Skills required: Graphing Knowledge, Systems Knowledge

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The solution to any system is the intersection between any 2 lines or functions. In this case, we are given two functions on a graph, and need to find the solution to them. That is the intersection.

2) We can see the intersection and see that the x-axis value for the coordinate point is around 3 1/2 (or 3.5 -- whatever you prefer), and that the y-axis value for the point is -4.

Therefore, the coordinate point is: [tex](3\frac{1}{2}, -4)[/tex] since this answer best matches the coordinate values of that point.

PLS HELP ASAP ILL GIVE BRAINLKEST THANKS

Answers

Answer:

y = 5/4x

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the line, we'll have to find the slope only, since we already know that the equation is proportional and therefore has no y-intercept that we need to worry about.

So, to begin, we'll have to make a slope triangle using two of the points on the line - the points I chose are (0, 0) and (4, 5). Then, I drew a slope triangle - the change in y was 5, and the change in x was 4. To find the slope, we divide the change in y by the change in x, giving us a slope of 5/4. Because of this, our equation must be y = 5/4x.

Hopefully this is helpful! You can refer to the picture I attached if you would like to see how my slope triangle looks. :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 15

x = 12

The y intercept is zero so the slope is simply

m = y /x

m = 15/12

m = 5/4

y = 5/4

how many days would it take for a tiger to eat a boar

Answers

how many days would it take for a tiger to eat a boar?

Answer: Tigers belong to the taxonomic order Carnivora, which mean that their diet is composed mainly of meat. Like all animals, they are heterotrophic organisms, so they must meet their nutritional requirements from other living beings.

They look for both medium and large prey in the wild to feed on them. The animals they consume change according to the area where they live, as different species will be available in each region. They have no problem taking down animals larger than themselves including water buffaloes and bears.

These cats are powerful and efficient predators with an anatomy designed for hunting. They have two large canine teeth and other sharp-edged teeth to cut the skin, flesh, and bones of prey. These functional dental pieces are the last upper premolar and the lower first molar.

Like any carnivore, its clavicles are reduced or absent, while the scaphoid, central and lunar bones of the wrist fuse with the lunar-scapular bone. As Tigers digest meat quickly, they have a simple stomach and a short intestine.

Tiger feeding.
Young Moose, a common prey of the Siberian tiger.
The Panthera tigris diet includes a large diversity of animals that are typically medium to large usually weighing more than 200 pounds, and even dare to attack other predators and animals of considerably larger size than theirs. Small animals make up a tiny part of their usual diet.

Tigers can stay up to two weeks without food, but when they catch prey, they can eat 75 pounds of meat at once.
