Ben starts walking along a path at 3 mi/h. One and a half hours after Ben leaves, his sister Amanda begins jogging along the same path at 7 mi/h. How long (in hours) will it be before Amanda catches up to Ben?



Enter the exact answer.
Hint: The distance formula is that distance = rate * time, so for example in one and a half hours, Ben has walked 3 * 1.5 miles.

Amanda catches up to Ben in ____________ hours.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1.125 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Ben's speed = 3 mi/hr

Time before Amanda starts = 1.5 hours

Amanda's speed = 7 mi/hr

Time before Amanda catches up with Ben

Recall :

Distance = speed * time

Distance already covered by Ben before Amanda starts :

(3 * 1.5) = 4.5

Hence, we can setup the equation :

Ben's distance = Amanda's distance

Let time taken = x

4.5 + 3x = 7x

4.5 = 7x - 3x

4.5 = 4x

x = 4.5 / 4

x = 1.125 hours

1.125 * 60 = 67. 5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Of the items sold, sodas were 2/(2+1) = 2/3 of the total.

  (2/3)(228) = 152 . . . sodas were sold

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  2√13

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the center of the circle and a point on the circle is the radius. That distance is given by the distance formula:

  d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

  d = √((-5 -1)² +(6 -2)²) = √(36 +16) = √52

  d = 2√13

The radius of the circle is 2√13.

An electronic system contains three cooling components that operate independently. The probability of each component's failure is 0.05. The system will overheat if and only if at least two components fail. Calculate the probability that the system will overheat.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Pr= 0.00725[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]p = 0.05[/tex] ---- probability that each component fails

[tex]n = 3[/tex]

Required

[tex]P(System\ Overheats)[/tex]

We understand that the system will overheat if at least 2 component fails; Assume the components are: x, y and z

The events that the system will overheat are: xyz', xy'z, x'yz and xyz

Where ' means that the component did not fail, and the probability is 1 - p (i.e. complement rule)

So, we have:

[tex]xyz' \to 0.05 * 0.05 * (1 - 0.05) = 0.002375[/tex]

[tex]xy'z \to 0.05 * (1 - 0.05)* 0.05 = 0.002375[/tex]

[tex]x'yz \to (1 - 0.05)* 0.05 * 0.05 = 0.002375[/tex]

[tex]xyz \to 0.05 * 0.05 * 0.05 =0.000125[/tex]

So, the required probability is:

[tex]Pr= 0.002375 +0.002375 +0.002375 + 0.000125[/tex]

[tex]Pr= 0.00725[/tex]

convert 1.5% to decimal and a fraction. Show and explain your method

Answers

Answer:

0.015 and 3/200.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5% is equal to 0.015. Percents are always equal to their decimal counterparts; basically, the number over 100. Dividing 1.5 by 100 will yield us 0.015.

0.015 is going to be equal to 15/1000, or 3/200. Since we did 1.5/100, we need to multiply both sides of the fraction by 10 so there are no decimal points. Therefore, this is 15/1000. If we divide both sides of this fraction by 5, then we get 3/200, which is the most simplified form.

In order to win a prize, Heather randomly draws two balls from a basket of 40. There are 25 blue balls, and the rest are green balls. Of the blue balls, 12% are winning balls. Of the green balls, 20% are winning balls. Calculate the expected number of winning balls that Heather draws.

Answers

Answer:

The expected number of winning balls that Heather draws is 0.3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The balls are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

Expected value of the hypergeometric distribution:

The expected value is given by:

[tex]E(X) = \frac{nk}{N}[/tex]

Expected number of blue and green balls:

40 balls, which means that [tex]N = 40[/tex]

2 are chosen, which means that [tex]n = 2[/tex]

25 are blue, which means that [tex]k = 25[/tex]

So

[tex]E(X) = \frac{nk}{N} = \frac{25(2)}{40} = 1.25[/tex]

1.25 balls are expected to be blue and 2 - 1.25 = 0.75 green.

Of the blue balls, 12% are winning.

Of the green balls, 20% are winning.

Calculate the expected number of winning balls that Heather draws.

[tex]E_w = 1.25*0.12 + 0.75*0.2 = 0.3[/tex]

The expected number of winning balls that Heather draws is 0.3.

Find the area of the surface generated when the given curve is revolved about the y-axis. The part of the curve y=4x-1 between the points (1, 3) and (4, 15)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let take a look at the given function y = 4x - 1 whose point is located between (1,3) and (4,15) on the graph.

Here, the function of y is non-negative. Now, expressing y in terms of x in y = 4x- 1

4x = y + 1

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

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

By integration, the required surface area in the revolve is:

[tex]S = \int^{15}_{ 3} 2 \pi g (y) \sqrt{1+g'(y^2) \ dy }[/tex]

where;

g(y) = [tex]x = \dfrac{1}{4}y + \dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]

[tex]S = \int^{15}_{ 3} 2 \pi \Big( \dfrac{1}{4}y + \dfrac{1}{4}\Big) \sqrt{1+\Bigg(\Big( \dfrac{1}{4}y + \dfrac{1}{4}\Big)'\Bigg)^2 \ dy }[/tex]

[tex]S = \dfrac{1}{2} \pi \int^{15}_{ 3} (y+1) \sqrt{1+\Bigg(\Big( \dfrac{1}{4}\Big ) \Bigg)^2 \ dy } \\ \\ \\ S = \dfrac{1}{2} \pi \int^{15}_{ 3} (y+1) \dfrac{\sqrt{17}}{4} \ dy[/tex]

[tex]S = \dfrac{\sqrt{17}}{8} \pi \int^{15}_{ 3} (y+1) \ dy[/tex]

[tex]S = \dfrac{\sqrt{17} \pi}{8} (\dfrac{1}{2}(y+1)^2)\Big|^{15}_{3} \\ \\ S = \dfrac{\sqrt{17} \pi}{8} (\dfrac{1}{2}(15+1)^2-\dfrac{1}{2}(3+1)^2 ) \\ \\ S = \dfrac{\sqrt{17} \pi}{8} *120 \\ \\\mathbf{ S = 15 \sqrt{17}x}[/tex]

Use sigma notation to represent the sum of the first seven terms of the following sequence: −4, −6, −8, …

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\sum_{n = 1}^{7} -2 -2n[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequence:

In an arithmetic sequence, the difference of consecutive terms is always the same, called common difference.

The nth term of a sequence is given by:

[tex]a_{n} = a_1 + (n-1)d[/tex]

In which [tex]a_1[/tex] is the first term and d is the common difference.

Sigma notation to represent the sum of the first seven terms

Sum going from the index starting at 1 and finishing at 7, that is:

[tex]\sum_{n = 1}^{7} f(n)[/tex]

Now we have to fund the function, which is given by an arithmetic sequence.

−4, −6, −8,

First term -4, common difference - 6 - (-4) = -6 + 4 = -2, so [tex]a_1 = -4, d = -2[/tex]

Then

[tex]f(n) = a_{n} = a_1 + (n-1)d[/tex]

[tex]f(n) = -4 + (n-1)(-2)[/tex]

[tex]f(n) = -4 - 2n + 2 = -2 - 2n[/tex]

Sigma notation:

Replacing f(n)
