Ben starts walking along a path at 2 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?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Amanda will catch up Ben after 0.6 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amanda begins jogging along the same path at 7 mi/h.

This means that Amanda's position, after t hours, is given by:

[tex]A(t) = 7t[/tex]

Ben starts walking along a path at 2 mi/h.

Amanda leaves after one and a half hour, which means that Ben will be at position 2*1.5 = 3. So Ben's position after t hours is given by:

[tex]B(t) = 3 + 2t[/tex]

How long (in hours) will it be before Amanda catches up to Ben?

This will happen when:

[tex]A(t) = B(t)[/tex]

So

[tex]7t = 3 + 2t[/tex]

[tex]5t = 3[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{3}{5}[/tex]

[tex]t = 0.6[/tex]

Amanda will catch up Ben after 0.6 hours.

Answer 2

It would take Amanda 0.6 hours or 6/10 hours to catch up with Ben.

This question comes from a topic in mathematics called rates and it's used to compare two values with each other and how one value affects the other value.

Let s represent the distance Amanda travels until she meet Ben.

We can set a timer on our phone when she leaves in order to track the time taken.

Let t represent the time taken.

Set of Equation

We can come up with two equations from these scenario

d - 3 = 2t------ equation (i)d = 7t ----- equation (ii)

Substitute equation (ii) into equation (i)

[tex]7t -3 =2t[/tex]

collect like terms

[tex]7t-2t=3\\5t=3\\t=3/5\\t=0.6[/tex]

From the above, we can see it took her 0.6 hours to catch up with Ben.

Answer:

#8 - 52°, #9 - 29°

Step-by-step explanation:

8. The two angles added together are a straight line, so they sum up to 180 degrees.

x + (2x + 24°) = 3x + 24° = 180°

3x + 24° = 180°

3x = 156°

x = 52°

9. Similar to #8. "Supplementary" means they add up to 180° (whether they are actually next to each other or not).

So,     4x + (2x + 6°) = 180°

                 6x + 6° = 180°

                     6x = 174°

                        x = 29°

The point D(-3, 1) is reflected over the x-axis. What are the coordinates of the resulting point, D′?

Answers

Answer:

The rule for reflecting over the X axis is to negate the value of the y-coordinate of each point, but leave the x-value the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, when point P with coordinates (5,4) is reflecting across the X axis and mapped onto point P', the coordinates of P' are (5,-4).

3.26 From a box containing 4 black balls and 2 green balls, 3 balls are drawn in succession, each ball being replaced in the box before the next draw is made. Find the probability distribution for the number of green balls.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{2^{3-x}}{27}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Black = 4[/tex]

[tex]Green = 2[/tex]

[tex]r = 3[/tex] --- selected balls (with replacement)

Required

Determine the probability distribution for the green balls.

Let x be a [tex]random\ variable[/tex] such that:

[tex]x = 0, 1, 2, 3[/tex]

Because it is a selection with replacement

The probability of a green ball being drawn is always:

[tex]P(G) = \frac{Green}{Total}[/tex]

[tex]P(G) = \frac{2}{6}[/tex]

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

The probability of a black ball being drawn is always:

[tex]P(B) = \frac{Black}{Total}[/tex]

[tex]P(B) = \frac{4}{6}[/tex]

[tex]P(B) = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]

So, the probability distribution of green is:

[tex]P(X = x) = (P(B))^{3-x} * (P(G))^x[/tex]

[tex]P(X = x) = (\frac{2}{3})^{3-x} * (\frac{1}{3})^x[/tex]

Apply law of indices

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{2^{3-x}}{3^{3-x}} * \frac{1^x}{3^x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{2^{3-x}*1^x}{3^{3-x}*3^x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{2^{3-x}*1}{3^{3-x+x}}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{2^{3-x}*1}{3^3}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{2^{3-x}}{27}[/tex]

At a certain conference the information technology session and the social media session occur at the same time so it is impossible for an attendee to sit in on both sessions. If the probability that an attendee sits in on the information technology session is 0.11, and the probability that an attendee sits in on the social media session is 0.62, what is the probability that an attendee sits in on the information technology session or the social media session?

Answers

Answer:

0.73 = 73% probability that an attendee sits in on the information technology session or the social media session.

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the probability that an attendee sits in on the information technology session or the social media session?

They cant be in both sections simultaneously, so this probability is the sum of each probability.

0.11 = 11% probability that an attendee sits in on the information technology session

0.62 = 62% probability that an attendee sits in on the social media session

0.11 + 0.62 = 0.73

0.73 = 73% probability that an attendee sits in on the information technology session or the social media session.

2. Carissa also has a sink that is shaped like a half-sphere. The sink has a volume of 3617 in3. One day, her sink clogged. She has to use one of two conical cups to scoop the water out of the sink. The sink is completely full when Carissa begins scooping. (a) One cup has a diameter of 2 in. and a height of 4 in. How many cups of water must Carissa scoop out of the sink with this cup to empty it? Round the number of scoops to the nearest whole number. *** Complete sentences

Answers

Answer:Yes, your answers are correct.

The volume of a cone is given by V = 1/3πr²h.  Since the diameter of the first cone is 4, the radius is 2; therefore the volume is

V = 1/3π(2²)(8) = 32π/3

We divide the volume of the sink, 2000π/3, by the volume of the cone:

2000π/3 ÷ 32π/3 = 2000π/3 × 3/32π = 6000π/96π = 62.5 ≈ 63.

The diameter of the second conical cup is 8, so the radius is 4.  The volume then is:

V = 1/3π(4²)(8) = 128π/3

Dividing the volume of the sink, 2000π/3, by 128π/3:

2000π/3 ÷ 128π/3 = 2000π/3 × 3/128π = 6000π/384π = 15.625 ≈ 16

In 2013 number of students in a small school is 284.it is estimated that student population will increase by 4 percent
Write form for student population
Estimate population in 2020

Answers

The situation can be modeled by a geometric sequence with an initial term of 284. The student population will be 104% of the prior year, so the common ratio is 1.04.

Let \displaystyle PP be the student population and \displaystyle nn be the number of years after 2013. Using the explicit formula for a geometric sequence we get

{P}_{n} =284\cdot {1.04}^{n}P

n

=284⋅1.04

n

We can find the number of years since 2013 by subtracting.

\displaystyle 2020 - 2013=72020−2013=7

We are looking for the population after 7 years. We can substitute 7 for \displaystyle nn to estimate the population in 2020.

\displaystyle {P}_{7}=284\cdot {1.04}^{7}\approx 374P

7

=284⋅1.04

7

≈374

The student population will be about 374 in 2020.

1 /3 f+22=17

Step 2: Subtract 22 from both sides.

1/ 3 f+22−22=17−22

1/3f=-5

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 3.

f=−15

Answer:

f=−15

The value of the variable f for the given expression is f=-15.

What is an expression?

The mathematical expression combines numerical variables and operations denoted by addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division signs.

Mathematical symbols can be used to represent numbers (constants), variables, operations, functions, brackets, punctuation, and grouping. They can also denote the logical syntax's operation order and other properties.

Given that the expression is f/3+22=17. The value of f will be calculated as:-

f /3 +22=17

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

1 /3 f+22=17

Step 2: Subtract 22 from both sides.

1/ 3 f+22−22=17−22

1/3f=-5

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 3.

3*(1/3f)=(3)*(-5)

f=−15

Hence, the value of f will be -15.
