A motorboat travels 9 miles downstream (with the current) in 30 minutes. The return trip upstream (against the wind) takes 90 minutes. Which system of equations can be used to find x, the speed of the boat in miles per hour, and y, the speed of the current in miles per hour? Recall the formula d = rt.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x=12 mile/hour(the speed of the boat)

y=6 mile/hour(the speed of the current)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

let, x be the speed of the boat in miles per hour and y be the speed of the current in miles per hour.

Given That, A motorboat travels 9 miles downstream (with the current) in 30 minutes. Thus, x+y = 0.3 mile/minute ⇒ 0.3×60 ⇒ 18mile/hour

x+y=18 ---- Equation 1

& The return trip upstream (against the wind) takes 90 minutes. Thus, x-y = 0.1 mile/minute ⇒ 0.1×60 ⇒ 6mile/hour

x-y=6 ---- Equation 2

On Adding both above Equations We get,

2x=24  ⇔ x=12 mile/hour(the speed of the boat)

& x+y=18 put Value of x=12 we get  ⇔ y=6 mile/hour(the speed of the current)

Malachy rolls a fair dice 720 times.
How many times would Malachy expect to roll a five?​

Answers

Answer:

120 times

Step-by-step explanation:

On a dice, there are 6 sides.

Since one of these sides is a 5, the chance of rolling a five is 1/6.

Find how many times Malachy can expect to roll a five by multiplying 720 by 1/6:

720(1/6)

= 120

So, Malachy can expect to roll a five 120 times


Need help please with end behavior!

Answers

I'll focus on problem 2.

For these types of problems, I recommend graphing the functions to see how the end behavior looks.

The graph of y = x^2 has a parabola where both endpoints aim upward. So each end goes to positive infinity (regardless if x is going to positive or negative infinity).

In short, the graph rises to the left and it rises to the right.

Increasing the leading coefficient will not change this fact. We can pick any leading coefficient we want and the end behavior will stay the same. All that matters is the leading coefficient is positive.

If the leading coefficient becomes negative, then everything flips: the endpoints will aim down. The other terms we add on (such as a 3x+3) will not change the end behavior. The leading term, with the largest exponent, is what directly and solely determines the end behavior.

The graph is shown below. I used GeoGebra to make the graph. Desmos is another handy tool you could use.

A block of wood has the shape of a triangular prism. The bases are right triangles. Find its surface area. 4.5 in 6 in 16 in 7.5 in

Answers

Answer:

315 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

the surface area is the sum of the areas of all the individual shapes in the surface.

so, we have the 2 triangular bases and 3 rectangles as is sides.

the area of a rectangular triangle is a×b/2

we need them twice, so that is then a×b

a=4.5

b=6

a×b = 27 in²

one rectangle is 16×7.5 = 120 in²

one rectangle is 16×6 = 96 in²

one rectangle is 16×4.5 = 72 in²

total surface area is therefore

A = 27+120+96+72 = 315 in²

What will the concentration of the drug eventually be in the bloodstream? Do not
enter any units with your answer.

Answers

Answer:

From the values obtained, we can see that after the initial 10mg/L values obtained in the first 1 and 2 minutes, the concentration has been dipping and it will continue to do so.

Step-by-step explanation:

The concentration monitored ar time, t > 0 is represented by :

C(t) = 30t / (t² + 2.)

At, t = 1

C(1) = 30(1) / (1 + 2) = 30/3 = 10

At t = 2

C(2) = 30(2) / (2² + 2) = 60/(4+2) = 60/6 = 10

At t = 3

C(3) = 30(3) / (3² + 2) = 90/ 11 = 8.18

At t = 4

C(4) = 30(4) / (4²+2) = 120/18 = 6.67

At t = 5

C(5) = 30(5) / (5²+2) = 150/ 27 = 5.55

At t = 10

C(10) = 30(10) / (10²+2) = 300/102 = 2.94

From the values obtained, we can see that after the initial 10mg/L values obtained in the first 1 and 2 minutes, the concentration has been dipping and it will continue to do so.

y = 4x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

for slope intercept form

y = mx + c

where m is the slop so

M = 4

point = (1, -1)

a point on the line must satisfy the equation so replacing y and x by -1 and 1 respectively to get to c.

-1 = 4 × 1 + c

-1 - 4 = c

-5 = c

placing these values in y = mx + c

y = 4x - 5

Answer:

y = 4x - 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

First write it in point-slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-1) = 4(x - 1)

y + 1 = 4x - 4

y = 4x - 4 - 1

y = 4x - 5.  <------- Slope-intercept.

The fracture strength of tempered glass averages 14 (measured in thousands of pounds per square inch) and has standard deviation 2. (a) What is the probability that the average fracture strength of 100 randomly selected pieces of this glass exceeds 14.2

Answers

Answer:

0.1587 = 15.87% probability that the average fracture strength of 100 randomly selected pieces of this glass exceeds 14.2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

The fracture strength of tempered glass averages 14 (measured in thousands of pounds per square inch) and has standard deviation 2.

This means that [tex]\mu = 14, \sigma = 2[/tex]

Sample of 100:

This means that [tex]n = 100, s = \frac{2}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.2[/tex]

What is the probability that the average fracture strength of 100 randomly selected pieces of this glass exceeds 14.2?

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 14.2. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{14.2 - 14}{0.2}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1[/tex] has a p-value of 0.8413.

1 - 0.8413 = 0.1587

0.1587 = 15.87% probability that the average fracture strength of 100 randomly selected pieces of this glass exceeds 14.2.

Instant Dinner comes in packages with weights that are normally distributed, with a standard deviation of 0.5 oz. If 2.3% of the dinners weigh more than 13.2 oz, what is the mean weight?

Answers

Answer:

12.2

Step-by-step explanation:

2.3%= 0.023

So that is the probability that it will be over 13.2 oz, or .977 is the prob that it will be below 13.2

z-score = (real score - mean)/standard deviation

I found .977 at a z-score of 2.00

so 2.00 = (13.2-m)/0.5

=> m=12.2

Tania is buying a guitar. Guitar Central has 20% off coupons available, and has the guitar Tania wants for $349. Music Mart has the guitar Tania wants for $419, but is offering a $200 rebate. Which is the better deal? _________________________________________________________________________________________

Answers

Answer:

Music Mart offers a better deal, given that the price of the guitar is $ 219 compared to $ 279.20 for Guitar Central.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Tania is buying a guitar, and Guitar Central has 20% off coupons available, and has the guitar Tania wants for $ 349, while Music Mart has the guitar Tania wants for $ 419, but is offering a $ 200 rebate, to determine which is the better deal the following calculations must be performed:

Guitar Central

100 - 20 = 80

349 x 0.8 = X

279.20 = X

Music mart

419 - 200 = X

219 = X

Therefore, Music Mart offers a better deal, given that the price of the guitar is $ 219 compared to $ 279.20 for Guitar Central.

Answers

Answer:

1.97 years

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 8/100

r = 0.08 per year,

Then, solve the equation for t

t = ln(A/P) / n[ln(1 + r/n)]

t = ln(17,500.00/15,000.00) / ( 2 × [ln(1 + 0.08/2)] )

t = ln(17,500.00/15,000.00) / ( 2 × [ln(1 + 0.04)] )

t = 1.965 years

Answers

Answer:

(b) For each hour that Michelle drove, she traveled an additional 50 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (0,350)[/tex] ---- start

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (7,0)[/tex] --- end

Required

Which is true

(a): Journey = 6 hours

This is false, because:

[tex]x = x_2 - x_1[/tex]

[tex]x = 7-0[/tex]

[tex]x = 7[/tex] ---- 7 hours

(b): The average rate is 50 miles per hour

To do this, we calculate the slope (m) using:

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2- x_1}[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{0 - 350}{7-0}[/tex]

[tex]m = -\frac{350}{7}[/tex]

[tex]m = -50[/tex]

This means that the rate is 50 miles driven in 1 hour.
