A train covered a certain distance at a uniform speed. If the train would have been 6km/h faster, it would have taken 4 hours less than the scheduled time. And, if the train were slower by 6km/h, it would have taken 6 hours more than the scheduled time. Find the length of the journey.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:Let x km/hr be the speed of train

Let y be the time taken by the train

Distance = speed x time

= x y

To form the first equation let us consider the given information from the question that is If the train had been 6 km/hr faster,it would have taken 4 hours less than the scheduled time.

it clearly says that speed is increased by 6 and time is reduced by 4

So , (x + 6) (y - 4) = x y

x y - 4 x + 6 y - 24 = x y

x y - x y - 4 x + 6 y = 24

- 4 x + 6 y = 24

divided by (-2) => 2 x - 3 y = -12 ----- (1)

To form the second equation let us consider the given information from the question that is If the train were slower by 6km/hr, then it would have taken 6 hours more than the scheduled time.

it clearly says that speed is reduced by 6 and time is increased by 6

So , (x - 6) (y + 6) = x y

x y + 6 x - 6 y - 36 = x y

x y - x y + 6 x - 6 y = 36

6 x - 6 y = 36

divided by (6) => x - y = 6 ----- (2)

2 x - 3 y = -12

(2) x 2 => 2 x - 2 y = 12

(-) (+) (-)

---------------

- y = -24

y = 24

Now we have to apply the value of y in the first equation to get value of x

Substitute y = 24 in the first equation we get

2 x - 3 (24) = -12

2 x - 72 = -12

2 x = -12 + 72

2 x = 60

x = 60/2

x = 30

Speed of the train = 30 km/hr

Time taken by the train = 24 hours

Distance covered by the train = x y = 30 x 24 = 720 km

Verification:

2 x – 3 y = -12

2(30) - 3(24) = -12

60 - 72 = -12

-12 = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

You round when the numbers behind the decimal are 5 or greater. This being said, you need to round from the number furthest away from the decimal. In this case it would be 9. 9 is greater than 5 so we round 8 up to 9 and get rid of the number behind it. We are left with 1.9

Find all three distinct roots for X³ =1. (two of them are complex mumber). And show that sum of all roots is zero.​

Answers

x ³ = 1

x ³ - 1 = 0

x ³ - 1³ = 0

Factorize the right side as a difference of cubes:

(x - 1) (x ² + x + 1) = 0

Then

x - 1 = 0   or   x ² + x + 1 = 0

The first equation yields x = 1 as a root.

For the other equation, rearrange and complete the square to get the other two roots,

x ² + x + 1/4 = -3/4

(x + 1/2)² = -3/4

x + 1/2 = ±√(-3/4) = ± i √3/2

x = -1/2 ± i √3/2

x = (-1 ± i √3)/2

Since complex roots occurs in conjugate pairs, taking the sum of these two roots eliminates the imaginary part:

(-1 + i √3)/2 + (-1 - i √3)/2 = (-1 - 1)/2 = -2/2 = -1

and adding to 1 indeed shows that the sum of roots is zero.

The perimeter of a square is numerically equals to its area. Find its side and area.

Answers

Answer:

4 and 16 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a square of side s = 4s and area = s² , equating gives

s² = 4s ( subtract 4s from both sides )

s² - 4s = 0 ( factor out s from each term on the left )

s(s - 4) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for s

s = 0

s - 4 = 0 ⇒ s = 4

However, s > 0, thus s= 4

That is side = 4 units and area = 4² = 16 units²

Option C. P = 3/q

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the the correct answer to the question, do the following:

Let us assume a certain number for P say 2 and 3, and then, find the corresponding value for q in each case to see which will give a decreased value for q.

Option A

When P = 2, q =.?

P = 3q

2 = 3q

Divide both side by 3

q = 2/3

When P = 3, q =.?

P = 3q

3 = 3q

Divide both side 3

q = 3/3

q = 1

From the above illustration, we can see that as P increase, q also increase.

Option B

When P = 2, q =.?

P – 3 = q

2 – 3 = q

q = – 1

When P = 3, q =.?

P – 3 = q

3 – 3 = q

q = 0

From the above illustration, we can see that as P increase, q also increase.

Option C

When P = 2, q =.?

P = 3/q

2 = 3/q

Cross multiply

2 × q = 3

Divide both side by 2

q = 3/2

q = 1.5

When P = 3, q =.?

P = 3/q

3 = 3/q

Cross multiply

3 × q = 3

Divide both side by 3

q = 3/3

q = 1

From the above illustration, we can see that as P increase, q decreases.

Option D.

When P = 2, q =.?

1/p = 3/q

1/2 = 3/q

Cross multiply

1 × q = 2 × 3

q = 6

When P = 3, q =.?

1/p = 3/q

1/3 = 3/q

Cross multiply

1 × q = 3 × 3

q = 9

From the above illustration, we can see that as P increase, q also increase.

Now, haven done the above, only option C gives a decreased value for q as the value of P increases.

find the lower quartile for the data {47.2, 33.8, 43, 62, 5.8, 9, 61.4, 30.8, 68.2, 51.6, 13.2, 17.4, 64.2, 50.6, 29.4, 40.4}

Answers

Answer:

The lower quartile is 23.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data are;

47.2, 33.8, 43, 62, 5.8, 9, 61.4, 30.8, 68.2, 51.6, 13.2, 17.4, 64.2, 50.6, 29.4, 40.4

Rearranging the data, we have;

5.8, 9, 13.2, 17.4, 29.4, 30.8, 33.8, 40.4, 43, 47.2, 50.6, 51.6, 61.4, 62, 64.2, 68.2

The lower quartile, Q₁, is the (n + 1)/4 th term which is (16 +1)/4 = 4.25th term

However since we have an even set of numbers, we place a separator at the middle and we look for the median of the left half as follows

5.8, 9, 13.2, 17.4, 29.4, 30.8, 33.8, 40.4║ 43, 47.2, 50.6, 51.6, 61.4, 62, 64.2, 68.2

We have two numbers (17.4 + 29.4) at the median of the left set of numbers, we find the average of the two numbers to get the lower quartile

The lower quartile is therefore = (17.4 + 29.4)/2 = 23.4.

Rick is driving to his uncle's house in Greensville, which is 120 miles from Rick's town. After covering x miles, Rick sees a sign stating that Greensville is 20 miles away. Which equation, when solved, will give the value of x?

Answers

Answer:

The equation which will give the value of x when solved is C. x + 20 = 120

x=100

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance=120 miles

Distance covered=x miles

Distance remaining=20 miles

The equation is

Total distance=Distance covered + distance remaining

120 miles= x miles + 20 miles

120 miles - 20 miles = x miles

100 miles =x miles

Check:

Total distance=Distance covered + distance remaining

120 miles = 100 miles + 20 miles

120 miles =120 miles

The equation which will give the value of x when solved is C. x+20=120

A "difference" indicates subtraction is being used. The difference between these 2 numbers is found the same way we find the distance between 2 points on a number line. Since both the difference and the distance have to be positive numbers, the formula to find it is

|a - b| which is the absolute value of a - b.

If a = -52 and b = -79:

| -52 - (-79) | = | -52 + 79 | = 27 OR

If a = -79 and b = -52:

| -79 - (-52) | = | -79 + 52 | = | -27 | = 27

find the value s of.. a and b if 0 and 2 are the zeros of the polynomial p(x) =2xcube minus 5xsquare plus ax plus b find the third zero of the polynomial ​

Answers

Answer:

a = 2, b = 0 , x = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that x = 0 and x = 2 are zeros of p(x) , then

p(0) = 0 and p(2) = 0

p(0) = 2(0)³ - 5(0)² + a(0) + b = 0 , that is

0 - 0+ 0 + b = 0, then b = 0

p(2) = 2(2)³ - 5(2)² + 2a + b = 0 , that is

16 - 20 + 2a + 0 = 0

- 4 + 2a = 0 ( add 4 to both sides )

2a = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

a = 2

Then

p(x) = 2x³ - 5x² + 2x ← factor out x from each term

      = x(2x² - 5x + 2)

      = x(2x - 1)(x - 2)

To find zeros equate p(x) to zero

x(2x - 1)(x - 2) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x = 0

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

These are the 2 zeros already known (given)

2x - 1 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 1 ⇒ x = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ← third zero of p(x)

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference.

To find the number of terms given [tex]a_{n}[/tex] = - 10 , d = - 2 and a₁ = 100, then

100 - 2(n - 1) = - 10 ( subtract 100 from both sides )

- 2(n - 1) = - 110 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

n - 1 = 55 ( add 1 to both sides )

n = 56 ← number of terms

Given n, a₁ and a₅₆ , then the sun of the terms is

[tex]S_{56}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{n}{2}[/tex] (a₁ + a₅₆ )

Sammy and Hannah both want to get leeks as their star ingredient. Sammy will draw first, followed by Hannah.
What is the probability that NEITHER contestant draws leeks?
Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answers

The probability that neither of them draws the Leeks card is P = 4/6 = 0.667

Here we can assume that all the cards have the same probability of being randomly drawn.

The cards are:

Cabbage Spinach Kale Leeks Carrots Turnips

So we have 6 cards. We want to find the probability that neither contestant draws the "Leeks" card.

Sammy draws first, the probability of drawing the Leeks card will be equal to the quotient between the number of Leeks cards (one) and the total number of cards (6).

Then the probability of drawing the leeks card is p = 1/6

This means that the probability of NOT drawing the leeks card is:

q = 1 - 1/6 = 5/6.

Now draws Hanna, now there are 5 cards in the deck (because one was already drawn). With the same approach as before, the probability of drawing the Leeks card is p = 1/5, then the probability of NOT drawing the card is:

q = 1 - 1/5 = 4/5.

The joint probability (this is, the probability of both of these events to happen together) is just the product of the individual probabilities.

Then the probability that neither of them draws the Leeks card is:

P = (4/5)*(5/6) = 4/6 = 0.667
