When traveling with the current, it takes Kamal 1 hour to travel 12 miles on a boat. It takes the boat 1.5 hours to travel the same 12 miles when traveling against the current. Assuming the boat travels at a constant speed during both trips, what is the speed of the boat and the speed of the current?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the rate / speed of the boat is 10 miles per hour.

the rate / speed of the current is 2 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

r = rate of boat (speed of boat)

t = time

d = distance.

c = rate of current (speed of current)

with the current, the formula becomes (r + c) * t = d

against the current, the formula becomes (r - c) * t = d

going with the current, the boat takes 1 hour to travel 12 miles.

therefore:

(r + c) * t = d becomes (r + c) * 1 = 12

going against the current, the boat takes 1.5 hour to travel the same 12 miles.

therefore:

(r - c) * t = d becomes (r - c) * 1.5 = 12.

your two equations that need to be solved simultancously are:

(r + c) * 1 = 12

(r - c) * 1.5 = 12

divide both sides of the second equation by 1.5 and leave the first equaion as is to get:

 

r + c = 12

r - c = 8

add the equations together to get:

2 * r = 20

solve for r to get:

r = 20 / 2 = 10

(r + c) * 1 = 12 becomes (10 + c) * 1 = 12

simplify to get 10 + c = 12

solve for c to get c = 12 - 10 = 2

(r - c) * 1 = 8 becomes (10 - c) * 1 = 8

simplify to get 10 - c = 8

solve for c to get c = 10 - 8 = 2

you have:

r = 10

c = 2

that's your solution.

the rate / speed of the boat is 10 miles per hour.

the rate / speed of the current is 2 miles per hour.

A group of students with normally distributed salaries earn an average of 6800 with a standard deviation of $2500. Find the cutoff for the salary that corresponds to the lower 25% of all salaries

Answers

Answer: $5115

Step-by-step explanation:

The following information can be gotten from the question:

Mean = 6800

Standard deviation = 2500

We will then find the Z score of the 25th percentile which will be -0.674.

Therefore, the cutoff for the salary that corresponds to the lower 25% of all salaries will be:

= 6800 - 0.674 × 2500

= 6800 - 1685

= 5115

The cutoff is $5115

Gavin drew a circle with a circumference of 10π centimeters. Which best represents the area of Gavin's circle in square centimeters?

Answers

Answer:

78.5cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference equation = 2πr with radius r

10π = 2πr so r = 10π/2π = 5

Area of circle = πr^2

π * 5^2 = π * 25 = 25π = 78.53981... = 78.5 cm^2

Out of 20 cookies, 4/ 5 are chocolate chip. How many cookies are chocolate chip?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by using the equation: 4/5 x 20 = y

(y is the answer)

Now we can solve it. You can just solve 4/5 x 20, or if you like using decimals you can change it to 0.8 x 20, becaues 4/5 is equivalent to 0.8.

0.8 x 20 = 16.

Therefore, out of the 20 cookies, 16 are chocolate chip.

The side of the base of a square pyramid is increasing at a rate of 666 meters per minute and the height of the pyramid is decreasing at a rate of 111 meter per minute. At a certain instant, the base side is 333 meters and the height is 999 meters. What is the rate of change of the volume of the pyramid at that instant (in cubic meters per minute)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]105m^3/min[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Base side of square pyramid, a=3 m

Height of square pyramid, h=9m

[tex]\frac{da}{dt}=6m/min[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dh}{dt}=-1/min[/tex]

We have to find  the rate of change of the volume of the pyramid at that instant.

Volume of square pyramid, V=[tex]\frac{1}{3}a^2h[/tex]

Differentiate w.r.t t

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{1}{3}(2ah\frac{da}{dt}+a^2\frac{dh}{dt})[/tex]

Substitute the values

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{1}{3}(2(3)(9)(6)+(3^2)(-1)[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt}=105m^3/min[/tex]

Hence, the rate of change of the volume of the pyramid at that instant=[tex]105m^3/min[/tex]

A. f(x) = 2|2| is differentiable overf
X
B. g(x) = 2 + || is differentiable over
-f

Answers

Recall the definition of absolute value:

• If x ≥ 0, then |x| = x

• If x < 0, then |x| = -x

(a) Splitting up f(x) = x |x| into similar cases, you have

• f(x) = x ² if x ≥ 0

• f(x) = -x ² if x < 0

Differentiating f, you get

• f '(x) = 2x if x > 0 (note the strict inequality now)

• f '(x) = -2x if x < 0

To get the derivative at x = 0, notice that f '(x) approaches 0 from either side, so f '(x) = 0 if x = 0.

The derivative exists on its entire domain, so f(x) is differentiable everywhere, i.e. over the interval (-∞, ∞).

(b) Similarly splitting up g(x) = x + |x| gives

• g(x) = 2x if x ≥ 0

• g(x) = 0 if x < 0

Differentiating gives

• g'(x) = 2 if x > 0

• g'(x) = 0 if x < 0

but this time the limits of g'(x) as x approaches 0 from either side do not match (the limit from the left is 0 while the limit from the right is 2), so g(x) is differentiable everywhere except x = 0, i.e. over the interval (-∞, 0) ∪ (0, ∞).

A. 1652.
B. 1725.
C. 1752.
D. 1670.

Answers

Answer:

1742 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes 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.

Single light:

Mean of 1700 hours and standard deviation of 400 hours, which means that [tex]\mu = 1700, \sigma = 400[/tex]

Sample of 64:

This means that [tex]n = 64, s = \frac{400}{\sqrt{64}} = 50[/tex]

The probability is 0.20 that the sample mean lifetime is more than how many hours?

This is the 100 - 20 = 80th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.8. So X when Z = 0.84

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]0.84 = \frac{X - 1700}{50}[/tex]

[tex]X - 1700 = 50*0.84[/tex]

[tex]X = 1700 + 50*0.84[/tex]

[tex]X = 1742[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

foot marker 320 at t=0

Step-by-step explanation:

8 sec x 85 ft/s =680 ft

1,000ft - 680 ft = 320 ft

At t = 0 seconds the car was at a foot marker of 320 feet.

What is a numerical expression?

A numerical expression is a mathematical statement written in the form of numbers and unknown variables. We can form numerical expressions from statements.

Given, A car is traveling along a test track in the desert at a constant rate of 85 feet per second.

After 8 seconds, the car is at foot marker 1000.

So, In those 8 seconds, the car has traveled (8×85) = 680 feet.

Therefore, Initially, the car was at (1000 - 680) feet.

= 320 feet.
