A boat, which moves at 13 miles per hour in water without a current, goes 80 miles upstream and 80 miles back again in 13 hours. Find the speed of the current to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Speed of current is 3 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of boat without current, u = 13 miles/hr

Let speed of current = v miles/hr

Speed upstream = (13 - v) miles/hr

Speed downstream = (13 + v) miles/hr

Distance traveled upstream, [tex]D_1[/tex] = 80 miles

Distance traveled downstream, [tex]D_2[/tex] = 80 miles

Total time taken, T ([tex]T_1+T_2[/tex]) = 13 hours

Formula for Total Time taken:

[tex]Time= \dfrac{Distance}{Speed}[/tex]

Time taken in Upstream:

[tex]T_1 = \dfrac{80}{13-v}\ hours[/tex]

Time taken in Downstream:

[tex]T_2 = \dfrac{80}{13+v}\ hours[/tex]

[tex]T = T_1+T_2 = 13\ hours\\\Rightarrow 13 = \dfrac{80}{13-v}+\dfrac{80}{13+v}\\\Rightarrow 13 = 80(\dfrac{13+v+13-v}{13^2-v^2})\\\Rightarrow 13^2-v^2 = \dfrac{80(26)}{13}\\\Rightarrow 169-v^2 = 80\times 2\\\Rightarrow v^2 = 169-160 = 9\\\Rightarrow v = 3\ miles/hr[/tex]

So, speed of current is 3 miles/hr

What percent of this grid is unshaded?
The grid has 10 columns and 10 rows making 100 equal sized squares 5 rows are
unshaded. The sixth row has 6 squares unshaded.​

Answers

Answer:

56%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a grid with 10 columns and 10 rows making 100 equal sized squares, they tell us that 5 rows are unshaded. Therefore half is unshaded, like so:

5 rows = 50 squares

They also tell us that the sixth row has 6 squares unshaded, which means that in total they would be:

 50 + 6 = 56 squares

Knowing that the total is 100, the percentage would be:

56/100 = 0.56, that is, 56% are unshaded

The population of Adamsville grew from 6000 to 13000 in 7 years. Assuming uninhibited exponential growth, what is the expected population in an additional 3 years?

Answers

Answer:

18107.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the exponential function in the form:

       [tex]P = P_0(R)^t[/tex]

so P is the new population, [tex]P_0[/tex] is the original population, R is the rate of increase in population, and t is the time in years.

You have to use the information given to find the rate that the population is increasing and then use that rate to find the new population after more time passes.

[tex]13000 = 6000(R)^7\\\\\\frac{13000}{6000} = R^7\\\\\sqrt[7]{\frac{13000}{6000} } = R\\\\\\ R = 1.116786872[/tex]

Now that you found the rate, you can use the function to find the population after another 3 years.

[tex]P = 13000(1.116786872)^3\\P = 18107.32317\\[/tex]

So the population is 18107, rounded to the nearest whole number.

The largest fish ever caught in Lake A weighed 650 pounds. This is 208.2 pounds less than seven times the weight of the largest fish ever caught in Lake B. Find the weight of the largest fish caught in Lake B nts​

Answers

Answer:

122.6 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the weight of the largest fish from lake A 'x', and the weight of the largest fish from lake B 'y'.

If x is 208.2 pounds less than seven times y, we have that:

[tex]x = 7y - 208.2[/tex]

We know that x is equal 650 pounds, so we can find y:

[tex]650 = 7y - 208.2[/tex]

[tex]7y = 650 + 208.2[/tex]

[tex]7y = 858.2[/tex]

[tex]y = 122.6\ pounds[/tex]

So the weight of the largest fish caught in Lake B is 122.6 pounds

El costo de pintar un muro se calcula con un tercio del doble del área por el triple del numero de trabajadores. Si se planea pintar un muro de 1200m² y se contrataran a 3 trabajadores. ¿Cuanto se pagara?

La ecuación del costo puede descomponerse en dos factores que luego se multiplican:

1) Siendo A el area del del muro, la parte del costo que depende del área se calcula como un tercio (1/3) del doble (2) del área A. Este factor se puede escribir como:

[tex]C_1=(1/3)\cdot 2 \cdot A=(2/3)\cdot A[/tex]

2) Siendo T el número de trabajadores, el siguiente factor es el triple del numero de trabajadores T. Esto es:

Multiplicando ambos factores, tenemos la ecuacion del costo en función de A y T:

[tex]C=C_1\cdot C_2=(2/3)A\cdot 3T=2 AT[/tex]

Si se planea pintar un muro de 1200m² y se contrataran a 3 trabajadores, el costo será:

the total mass of mixture that we have is:

26.5 L + 8.25 L = 34.75 L.

if we want to divide it into groups of 1.25 L, we have:

N = 34.75/1.25 = 27.8

So we have 27.8 groups of 1.25L this means that we need 27.8 bottles.

Step-by-step explanation:

In an right triangle, the acute angles are complementary. That means their measures have a sum of 90 deg.

m<C + m<B = 90

7x - 20 + 4x = 90

11x = 110

x = 10

m<ACB= 7x - 20

m<ACB = 7(10) - 20

m<ACB = 70 - 20

Customers arrive at a movie theater at the advertised movie time only to find that they have to sit through several previews and prepreview ads before the movie starts. Many complain that the time devoted to previews is too long. A pre-liminary sample conducted by The Wall Street Journal showed that the standard deviation of the amount of time devoted to previews was 6 minutes. A. If we want to estimate the population mean time for previews at movie theaters with a margin of error of 72 seconds, what sample size should be used? B. If we want to estimate the population mean time for previews at movie theaters with a margin of error of 1 minute, what sample size should be used?

Answers

Answer:

Using a 90% confidence level

A. A sample size of 68 should be used.

B. A sample size of 98 should be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think there was a small typing mistake and the confidence level was left out. I will use a 90% confidence level.

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1-0.9}{2} = 0.05[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex].

So it is z with a pvalue of [tex]1-0.05 = 0.95[/tex], so [tex]z = 1.645[/tex]

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

A. If we want to estimate the population mean time for previews at movie theaters with a margin of error of 72 seconds, what sample size should be used?

We have the standard deviation in minutes, so the margin of error should be in minutes.

72 seconds is 72/60 = 1.2 minutes.

So we need a sample size of n, and n is found when M = 1.2. We have that [tex]\sigma = 6[/tex]. So

[tex]M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]1.2 = 1.645*\frac{6}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]1.2\sqrt{n} = 6*1.645[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{6*1.645}{1.2}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{6*1.645}{1.2})^{2}[/tex]

[tex]n = 67.65[/tex]

Rounding up.

A sample size of 68 should be used.

B. If we want to estimate the population mean time for previews at movie theaters with a margin of error of 1 minute, what sample size should be used?

Same logic as above, just use M = 1.

[tex]M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]1 = 1.645*\frac{6}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = 6*1.645[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^{2} = (6*1.645)^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 97.42[/tex]

Rounding up

A sample size of 98 should be used.

If you vertically stretch the exponential function f(x) = 2^x by a factor of 3, what
is the equation of the new function?

A. f(x) = 5^x
B. f(x) = 2(3^x)
C. f(x) = 3(2^x)
D. f(x) = 6^x

Answers

Answer: [tex]C. f(x) = 3(2^x)[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

If the graph of function y=f(x) is vertically stretched by a scale factor of 'k', then the new function will be :

[tex]Y=kf(x)[/tex]

The given function : [tex]f(x)=2^x[/tex]

If the given function vertically stretched by a scale factor of '3', then the new function will be :

[tex]Y=3f(x)=3(2^x)[/tex]

Hence, the correct option is [tex]C. f(x) = 3(2^x)[/tex].

Answers

Answer:

A. f(1)=9, f(n+1)=f(n)-4 for n> or equal to 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence:

9, 5, 1, -3

We can easily calculate the difference of terms:

-3- 1= 1- 5= 5-9= -4

As the difference of terms is same and equal to -4, it is the AP (arithmetic progression)

This sequence can be defined In the form of function as:

f(1)= 9, as the first term is 9f(n+1)= f(n)- 4, as it is decreasing function with the difference of -4n ≥ 1, as we count from the first term on

All the above matches the first answer choice:

Answers

Answer:

1. [tex]Area=16\,\pi=50.265[/tex]

2.- [tex]\frac{b}{a} =-8[/tex]

3.  [tex]y=\frac{1}{2} x^2+3x+\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

4.  [tex]a+b+c=\frac{17}{4}[/tex]

5.   the vertex is located at: (3, 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If we rewrite the formula of the conic given by completing squares, we can find what conic we are dealing with:

[tex](x^2-2x)+(y^2+6y)=6\\\,\,\,\,\,\,+1\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,+9\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,+10\\(x-1)^2+(y+3)^2=16\\(x-1)^2+(y+3)^2=4^2[/tex]

which corresponds to a circle of radius 4, and we know what the formula is for a circle of radius R, then:

[tex]Area=\pi\,R^2=\pi\,4^2=16\,\pi=50.265[/tex]

2.

If x=4 is the axis of symmetry of the parabola

[tex]y=ax^2+bx+c[/tex]

then recall the formula to obtain the position of the x-value of the vertex:

[tex]x_{vertex}=-\frac{b}{2a} \\4=-\frac{b}{2a}\\4\,(-2)=\frac{b}{a} \\\frac{b}{a} =-8[/tex]

3.  

From the graph attached, we see that the vertex of the parabola is at the point: (-3, -2) on the plane, so we can write the general formula for a parabola in vertex form:

[tex]y-y_{vertex}=a\,(x-x_{vertex})^2\\y-(-2)=a\,(x-(-3))^2\\y+2=a(x+3)^2[/tex]

and now find the value of the parameter "a" by requesting the parabola to go through another obvious point, let's say the zero given by (-1, 0) at the crossing of the x-axis:

[tex]y+2=a\,(x+3)^2\\0+2=a(-1+3)^2\\2=a\,2^2\\a=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

So the equation of the parabola becomes:

[tex]y+2=\frac{1}{2} (x+3)^2\\y+2=\frac{1}{2} (x^2+6x+9)\\y+2=\frac{1}{2} x^2+3x+\frac{9}{2} \\y=\frac{1}{2} x^2+3x+\frac{9}{2} -2\\y=\frac{1}{2} x^2+3x+\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

4.

From the location of the focus of the parabola as (4, 3) and the directrix as y=1,  we conclude that we have a parabola with dominant vertical axis of symmetry, displaced from the origin of coordinates, and responding to the following type of formula:

[tex](x-h)^2=4\,p\,(y-k)[/tex]

with focus at: [tex](h,k+p)[/tex]

directrix given by the horizontal line [tex]y=k-p[/tex]

and symmetry axis given by the vertical line [tex]x=h[/tex]

Since we are given that the focus is at (4, 3), we know that [tex]h=4[/tex], and that [tex]k+p=3[/tex]

Now given that the directrix is: y = 1, then:

[tex]y=k-p\\1=k-p[/tex]

Now combining both equations with these unknowns:

[tex]k+p=3\\k=3-p[/tex]

[tex]1=k-p\\k=1+p[/tex]

then :

[tex]1+p=3-p\\2p=3-1\\2p=2\\p=1[/tex]

and we now can solve for k:

[tex]k=1+p=1+1=2[/tex]

Then we have the three parameters needed to write the equation for this parabola:

[tex](x-h)^2=4\,p\,(y-k)\\(x-4)^2=4\,(1)\,(y-2)\\x^2-8x+16=4y-8\\4y=x^2-8x+16+8\\4y=x^2-8x+24\\y=\frac{1}{4} x^2-2x+6[/tex]

therefore: [tex]a=\frac{1}{4} , \,\,\,b=-2,\,\,and\,\,\,c=6[/tex]

Then [tex]a+b+c=\frac{17}{4}[/tex]

5.

The vertex of a parabola can easily found because they give you the roots of the quadratic function, which are located equidistant from the symmetry axis. So we know that is one root is at [tex]x=3+\sqrt{5}[/tex]and the other root is at [tex]x=3-\sqrt{5}[/tex]

then the x position of the vertex must be located at x = 3 (equidistant from and in the middle of both solutions. Then we can use the formula for the x of the vertex to find b:

[tex]x_{vertex}=-\frac{b}{2a}\\3=-\frac{b}{2\,(-2)}\\ b=12[/tex]

Now, all we need is to find c, which we can do by using the rest of the quadratic formula for the solutions [tex]x=3+\sqrt{5}[/tex]  and [tex]x=3-\sqrt{5}[/tex] :

[tex]x=-\frac{b}{2a} +/-\frac{\sqrt{b^2-4\,a\,c} }{2\,a}[/tex]

Therefore the amount [tex]\frac{\sqrt{b^2-4\,a\,c} }{2\,a}[/tex],  should give us [tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex]

which means that:

[tex]\sqrt{5}=\frac{\sqrt{b^2-4\,a\,c} }{2\,a} \\5=\frac{b^2-4ac}{4 a^2} \\5\,(4\,(-2)^2)=(12)^2-4\,(-2)\,c\\80=144+8\,c\\8\,c=80-144\\8\,c=-64\\c=-8[/tex]

Ten the quadratic expression is:

[tex]y=-2x^2+12\,x-8[/tex]

and the y value for the vertex is:

A coin will be flipped repeatedly until the sequence TTH (tail/tail/head) comes up. Successive flips are independent, and the coin has probability p of coming up heads. Let N,TTH be the number of coin flips until TTH first appears. What value of p minimizes Ex[N,TTH]

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculation of the value of p minimizes is shown below:-

We will assume the probability of coming heads be p

p(H) = p

p(T) = 1 - P

Now, H and T are only outcomes of flipping a coin

So,

P(TTH) = (1 - P) = (1 - P) (1 - P) P

= (1 + P^2 - 2 P) P

= P^3 - 2P^2 + P

In order to less N,TTH

we need to increase P(TTH)

The equation will be

[tex]\frac{d P(TTH)}{dP} = 0[/tex]

3P^2 - 4P + 1 = 0

(3P - 1) (P - 1) = 0

P = 1 and 1 ÷ 3

For P(TTH) to be maximum

[tex]\frac{d^2 P(TTH)}{dP} < 0 for\ P\ critical\\\\\frac{d (3P^2 - 4P - 1)}{dP}[/tex]

= 6P - 4

and

(6P - 4) is negative which is for

[tex]P = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Both interval and ratio level measurements deal with numerical data. The difference is that ratio-level measurements use a numerical scale that includes an absolute zero, and scale values are proportional to the quantity they represent.

Price data is a ratio level of measurement.

Individuals filing federal income tax returns prior to March 31 received an average refund of $1056. Consider the population of "last-minute" filers who mail their tax return during the last five days of the income tax period (typically April 10 to April 15).
a. A researcher suggests that a reason individuals wait until the last five days is that on average these individuals receive lower refunds than do early filers. Develop appropriate hypotheses such that rejection of H0 will support the researcher’s contention.
b. For a sample of 400 individuals who filed a tax return between April 10 and 15, the sample mean refund was $910. Based on prior experience a population standard deviation of σσ = $1600 may be assumed. What is the p-value?
c. At αα = .05, what is your conclusion?
d. Repeat the preceding hypothesis test using the critical value approach.

Answers

The α = 0.05 and the p-value (0.034) is less than α, we reject the null hypothesis. There is sufficient evidence to support the researcher's contention that last-minute filers  receive lower average tax refunds than early filers. Since the test statistic is more extreme than the critical value, we reject the null hypothesis.

a.

Hypotheses:

Null Hypothesis [tex](H_0)[/tex]: There is no difference in the average tax refund amount between early filers and last-minute filers .

Alternative Hypothesis [tex](H_a)[/tex]: Last-minute filers  receive lower average tax refunds than early filers.

Mathematically:

[tex]H_0[/tex]: μ_last_minute = μ_early

[tex]H_a[/tex]: μ_last_minute < μ_early

where:

μ_last_minute = population mean refund for last-minute filers

μ_early = population mean refund for early filers

b.

Given information:

Sample mean for last-minute filers = $910

Population standard deviation (σ) = $1600

Sample size (n) = 400

To calculate the test statistic and the p-value, use the formula:

[tex]z = (\bar x - \mu) / (\sigma / \sqrt n)[/tex]

Where:

[tex]\bar x[/tex] = sample mean

μ = hypothesized population mean under the null hypothesis

σ = population standard deviation

n = sample size

Plugging in the values:

z = ($910 - $1056) / ($1600 / √400)

z = ($910 - $1056) / ($1600 / 20)

z = -$146 / 80

z ≈ -1.825

c.

To find the p-value associated with the test statistic, use a standard normal distribution table. For a one-tailed test with a z-score of -1.825, the p-value is approximately 0.034.

d.

Critical value approach:

To perform the hypothesis test using the critical value approach, we first need to find the critical value corresponding to α = 0.05 and a one-tailed test.

For a significance level (α) of 0.05, the critical value is approximately -1.645.

Now, the test statistic we calculated previously was -1.825.

Conclusion: The p-value is less than α, we reject the [tex](H_0)[/tex].There is sufficient evidence to support the researcher's contention that last-minute filers  receive lower average tax refunds than early filers. Since the test statistic is more extreme than the critical value, we reject the null hypothesis.

What is National Motorists Association?

The National Motorists Association was established in 1982 and is a divisive nonprofit advocacy group representing drivers in North America.

The Association promotes engineering standards that have been demonstrated to be effective, justly drafted and applied traffic legislation, and full due process for drivers.

Given to give information about the top speed you will ever need

to go into a parking lot is,

A group of drivers came together to form the National Motorists Association, Inc., a non-profit organization, to defend drivers' rights in the legal system, on the highways, and inside our cars.

Usually, there are marked speed limits in parking lots. Obey speed limits when you see them to avoid tickets and to keep everyone safe.

The National Motorists Association advises driving no faster than 15 miles per hour at all times when there are no written speed limits.

Therefore, the correct option is D.
