An ironman triathlon requires each participant to swim 1.2 miles down a river, turn
at a marked buoy, then swim 1.2 miles back upstream. A certain participant is
known to swim at a pace of 2 miles per hour and had a total swim time of 1.25
hours. How fast was the river's current?




PLEASE HELP!!

Answers

Answer 1

The speed of the river's current is 0.4 miles per hour.

To determine the speed of the river's current, we can set up a system of equations based on the information given.

Let's denote the speed of the river's current as v miles per hour.

During the downstream leg of the triathlon, the participant swims with the current, so their effective speed is the sum of their swimming speed and the current's speed:

Effective speed downstream = 2 + v miles per hour

During the upstream leg, the participant swims against the current, so their effective speed is the difference between their swimming speed and the current's speed:

Effective speed upstream = 2 - v miles per hour

We are given that the total swim time is 1.25 hours. Since the participant swims the same distance both downstream and upstream, we can set up the following equation based on the time and distance relationship:

Time downstream + Time upstream = Total swim time

(1.2 miles) / (Effective speed downstream) + (1.2 miles) / (Effective speed upstream) = 1.25 hours

Substituting the expressions for the effective speeds, we have:

(1.2 miles) / (2 + v) + (1.2 miles) / (2 - v) = 1.25

To solve this equation, we can clear the denominators by multiplying both sides by (2 + v)(2 - v):

(1.2 miles)(2 - v) + (1.2 miles)(2 + v) = 1.25(2 + v)(2 - v)

Simplifying the equation:

2.4 - 1.2v + 2.4 + 1.2v = 1.25(4 - [tex]v^2[/tex])

4.8 = 5 - 1.25[tex]v^2[/tex]

Rearranging terms:

1.25[tex]v^2[/tex] = 5 - 4.8

1.25[tex]v^2[/tex] = 0.2

Dividing both sides by 1.25:

[tex]v^2[/tex] = 0.2 / 1.25

[tex]v^2[/tex] = 0.16

Taking the square root of both sides:

v = ± √0.16

Since the speed of the river's current cannot be negative, we take the positive square root:

v = 0.4

Therefore, the speed of the river's current is 0.4 miles per hour.

A super sundae ice cream cone has a radius of 0. 5 in and a depth of 4 in. A wonderful waffle cone has a radius 0. 9 in and a depth of 3 in. Which cone holds more ice cream?

Answers

The wonderful waffle cone holds more ice cream than super sundae cone.

In this question,

The ice cream cone is the shape of hemisphere at the top and cone shape at the bottom.

Volume of ice cream cone = volume of hemisphere + volume of cone

Volume of ice cream cone = [tex]\frac{2}{3}\pi r^{3} +\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h[/tex]

Volume of super sundae cone:

Radius of hemisphere = height of hemisphere = 0.5 in

Depth of the ice cream cone = 4 in

Volume of super sundae cone = [tex]\frac{2}{3}\pi (0.5)^{3} +\frac{1}{3} \pi (0.5)^{2} (4)[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\frac{2}{3}(3.14)(0.125) +\frac{1}{3} (3.14)(0.25)(4)[/tex]

⇒ 0.2616+1.0466

⇒ 1.3082 ≈ 1.31 cubic in.

Volume of wonderful waffle cone:

Radius of hemisphere = height of hemisphere = 0.9 in

Depth of the ice cream cone = 3 in

Volume of wonderful waffle cone = [tex]\frac{2}{3}\pi (0.9)^{3} +\frac{1}{3} \pi (0.9)^{2} (3)[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\frac{2}{3}(3.14)(0.729) +\frac{1}{3} (3.14)(0.81)(3)[/tex]

⇒ 1.526+2.5434

⇒ 4.0694 ≈ 4.07 cubic in.

Thus volume of wonderful waffle cone > volume of super sundae cone.

Hence we can conclude that the wonderful waffle cone holds more ice cream than super sundae cone.

Considering the slopes of the segments, the correct option is:

D. No, because the triangle ABC doesn't have a pair of perpendicular sides.

When are lines parallel, perpendicular or neither?

The slope, given by change in y divided by change in x, determines if the lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither, as follows:

If they are equal, the lines are parallel.If their multiplication is of -1, they are perpendicular.Otherwise, they are neither.

Here, we have to find if there are perpendicular segments, that is, if two slopes multiplied have a value of -1, then:

mAB = (-7 - 9)/(11 - 1) = -8/5.mAC = (3 - 9)/(-9 - 1) = 3/5.mBC = (3 - (-7))/(-9 - 11) = -1/2.

Suppose . has 4 critical points. List them in increasing lexographic order. By that we mean that (x, y) comes before (z, w) if or if and . Also, determine whether the critical point a local maximum, a local minimim, or a saddle point.

Answers

The points are (0,0) Minimum and (1/6, 1/18) is the saddle point.

What is the saddle point?

A saddle point, also known as a minimax point, is a place on the surface of a function's graph where the slopes in orthogonal directions are all zero but the function does not have a local extremum.

To solve the question we have:

f(x,y) = xy(1-2x-6y)

Therefore, f(x,y) = xy-2x²y-6xy²

Finding the partial derivative of the above gives:

fₓ = y - 4xy-6y²

= x - 2x²-12xy

Therefore, when the above equations are set to 0 we get:

y - 4xy-6y² = 0.......(1)

x - 2x²-12xy  = 0......(2)

Dividing equations (1) and (2) by y and x respectively give:

1 - 4x - 6y = 0

1 - 2x - 12y = 0  

Solving gives:

x = 0.167 = 1/6

y = 0.056 = 1/18

When we place x in equation (1) we have:

y - 4(1/6)y-6y² = 0

y = 0 or y = 1/18

Similarly, x = 0 or 1/6

Therefore, the four critical points are:

(0,0) (1/6,1/18)

When x = 0 and y = 0

f(x,y) = 0 Hence this is a minimum

When x = 1/6 and y = 1/18

f (x,y) = 1/324 Which is a saddle point.

Therefore, the points are (0,0) Minimum, and (1/6, 1/18) is the saddle point.

What is the expression of square feet of wallpaper for living room?

Given that,

height and width are same as of the family room but length is 5 times more than height [length = 5(height) ⇒ l = 5x]

                                                               =16x² - 42 square feet

What is the total amount of wallpaper needed?

total amount of wallpaper needed

⇒wallpaper for family room + wallpaper for living room = 12x²-21 + 16x²-42

                                                                                        =28x²-63 square feet

How much more square feet the living room will require more than family room when x = 8?Family room ⇒ 12x²-21 = 12(8²)-21 = 768-21=747 square feet Living room  ⇒ 16x²-42 = 16(8²)-42 = 1792-42 = 1750 square feet

Area of wallpaper of living room - area of wallpaper of family room

= 1750 - 747

= 1003 square feet

Hence 1003 more square feet of wallpaper for the living room than the family room when family room is with dimensions (l = 3x, b = 3x, h = x), living room is with dimensions (l = 5x, b = 3x, h = x) and doors are with dimension (b =3,    h = 7) {where x = 8}.

A rectangular swimming pool with a length of 18m and width of 8m is surrounded by a concrete patio. The patio is a uniform 3m width around the entire pool. What is the area of the patio

Answers

The area of the patio is 192 [tex]m^{2}[/tex]

What is area?

An object's area is how much space it takes up in two dimensions. It is the measurement of the quantity of unit squares that completely cover the surface of a closed figure. The square unit, which is frequently expressed as square inches, square feet, etc., is the accepted unit of area.

The word "area" refers to a free space. A shape's length and width are used to compute its area.

Length of swimming pool=18 m

Width of swimming pool=8 m

Area of swimming pool= 18*8 = 144[tex]m^{2}[/tex]

Width of patio=3m

Total length of swimming pool=18+2(3)=24 m

Total width of swimming pool=8+2(3)=14 m

Total area=24*14=336 [tex]m^{2}[/tex]

Area of patio= total area - Area of swimming pool

                     =336-144

                     =192 [tex]m^{2}[/tex]
