Runner A had a minor accident and is now 0.25 miles behind Runner B.


Runner B is currently has a speed of 7 miles per hour.


Runner A attempts to catch up runner B by running 8.5 miles per hour.


How long will it take Runner A to catch up to Runner B?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

It will take one sixth of a hour, that is, 10 minutes for Runner A to catch up to Runner B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Runner A is 0.25 miles behind Runner B.

Runner B has a speed of 7mph, while Runner A has a speed of 8.5 mph.

This means that each hour, Runner A catches up at a speed of 8.5 - 7 = 1.5 mph.

How long will it take Runner A to catch up to Runner B?

1 hour - 1.5 miles

x hours - 0.25 miles

[tex]1.5x = 0.25[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{0.25}{1.5}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{1}{6}[/tex]

It will take one sixth of a hour, that is, 10 minutes for Runner A to catch up to Runner B.

Find the value of x. Please help!

Answers

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the triangle similarity theorem

x/x+3 = x+3/12

Cross multiply

12x = (x+3)(x+3)

12x = x²+3x+3x+9

12x =  x²+6x+9

x²+6x+9-12x = 0

x²-6x+9 = 0

Factorize

x²-3x-3x+9 = 0

x(x-3)-3(x-3) = 0

x - 3 = 0

x = 3 twice

Hence the value of x is 3

sketch the graph of each function. Then State the domain, range and increasing, decreasing intervals. Part 3. ​

Answers

Answer:

19) Domain: - ∞ < x < ∞                    20) Domain:  - ∞ < x < ∞

Range: - ∞ < y < ∞                                  Range: - ∞ < y < ∞

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the parent function " y = ∛x" we know that the first graph should have a vertical shift down 2 units, and a horizontal shift 4 units to the right. There is no vertical stretch since there is no coefficient. (Check first graph)

Domain: - ∞ < x < ∞

Range: - ∞ < y < ∞

Jessica is making 2 loaves of bread she needs 3/4 cup of sugar for each loaf her measuring cup only holds 1/4 cup how many times will the cup need to be filled

Answers

Answer:

The cup will be filled 6 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

If her measuring cup only holds 1/4 cups then we need to find how many 1/4 cups are in 3/4 cups:

(1/4) + (1/4) + (1/4) = 3/4

3/4 = 3/4

The measuring cup will have to be filled 3 times for 1 loaf.

If she has 2 loaves that means that she has to fill her 1/4 measuring cup 6 times (because 2 * 3 = 6)

A deck of 52 cards contains 12 picture cards. If the 52 cards are distributed in a random manner among four players in such a way that each player receives 13 cards, what is the probability that each player will receive three picture cards

Answers

Answer:

The probability that each player will receive three picture cards = 0.0324

Step-by-step explanation:

As given,

A deck of 52 cards contains 12 picture cards

Remaining card = 52 - 12 = 40

So,

Total number of ways in which 12 picture card is distributed = [tex]\frac{12!}{3! 3! 3! 3!}[/tex]

Now,

The Total number of ways in which Remaining cards are distributed = [tex]\frac{40!}{10! 10! 10! 10!}[/tex]

So,

Total number of ways of getting 3 picture card and remaining card = [tex]\frac{12!}{3! 3! 3! 3!}[/tex]× [tex]\frac{40!}{10! 10! 10! 10!}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{12! 40!}{(3!)^{4} (10!)^{4} }[/tex]

Now,

Total number of ways to distribute 52 cards so that each people get 13 card = [tex]\frac{52!}{13! 13! 13! 13!} = \frac{52!}{ (13!)^{4} }[/tex]

∴ The probability = [tex]\frac{\frac{12! 40!}{(3!)^{4} (10!)^{4} }}{\frac{52!}{(13!)^{4} }}[/tex]

                            = [tex]\frac{12! 40!}{(3!)^{4} (10!)^{4} }[/tex]×[tex]\frac{(13!)^{4} }{ 52! }[/tex]

                           = [tex]\frac{12! 40!}{(3!)^{4} (10!)^{4} }[/tex]×[tex]\frac{(13.12.11.10!)^{4} }{ 52.51.50.49.48.47.46.45.44.43.42.41.40! }[/tex]

                           = [tex]\frac{12!}{(3!)^{4} }[/tex]×[tex]\frac{(13.12.11)^{4} }{ 52.51.50.49.48.47.46.45.44.43.42.41}[/tex]

                           = [tex]\frac{479,001,600}{(6)^{4} }[/tex]×[tex]\frac{(1716)^{4} }{ 52.51.50.49.48.47.46.45.44.43.42.41}[/tex]

                           = 0.0324

∴ we get

The probability that each player will receive three picture cards = 0.0324

Answers

Each of these limits correspond to the derivative of some function f(x) at a point x = a.

Recall the limit definition of a function f(x) :

f '(x) = lim [h → 0] ( f(x + h) - f(x) ) / h

Then if x = a, we get

f '(a) = lim [h → 0] ( f(a + h) - f(a) ) / h

From here, it's easy to identify what each function and point should be:

(a) f (a + h) = (1 + h)¹ʹ³   →   f(x) = x ¹ʹ³ and a = 1

(that's a 1/3 in the exponent)

(b) f (a + h) = cos(π + h)   →   f(x) = cos(x) and a = π

(c) f (a + h) = 5 (4 + h)⁵   →   f(x) = 5x ⁵ and a = 4

(d) f (a + h) = exp(4h) = exp(4 (0 + h))   →   f(x) = exp(4x) and a = 0

A blogger had 400 subscribers to her blog in January. The number of subscribers has grown by a factor of 1.5 every month since then. Write a sequence to represent the number of subscribers in the 3 months that followed.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]600, 900, 1350[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]a = 400[/tex] -- initial subscribers

[tex]b = 1.5[/tex] -- growth factor

Required

Determine the number of subscribers in the next three months

To do this, we make use of:

[tex]y = ab^x[/tex]

In this case:

x is the number of months

y is the number of subscribers

So:

when x = 1;

[tex]y = ab^x[/tex]

[tex]y = 400 * 1.5^1[/tex]

[tex]y = 400 * 1.5[/tex]

[tex]y = 600[/tex]

when x = 2

[tex]y = 400 * 1.5^2[/tex]

[tex]y = 400 * 2.25[/tex]

[tex]y = 900[/tex]

when x= 3

[tex]y = 400 * 1.5^3[/tex]

[tex]y = 400 * 3.375[/tex]

[tex]y = 1350[/tex]

So, the next three number of subscribers is:

Ally and Beck went fishing and caught a total of 75 fish. At home,
Ally told Jair she caught twice as many fish as she actually caught.
Beck told Jair he caught three times as many fish as he actually
caught. If what they told Jair had been true, then Ally would have
caught 75 fewer fish than Beck. How many fish did Beck actually
catch?

Answers

Answer:

Beck actually caught 45 fish

Step-by-step explanation:

System of Equations

We call the following variables:

x = number of fish Ally caught

y = number of fish Beck caught

They caught a total of 75 fish, thus:

x + y = 75      [1]

If Ally had caught twice as much fish as she actually did, and Beck had caught three times as many fish as he actually did, then Ally would have caught 75 fewer fish than Beck, thus:

3y = 2x + 75      [2]

From [1]:

x = 75 - y      [3]

Substituting in [2]:

3y = 2(75 - y) + 75

Operating:

3y = 150 - 2y + 75

Simplifying:

5y = 225

Dividing by 5:

y = 45

Beck actually caught 45 fish

Answer:

Beck caught 45 fish

Step-by-step explanation:

a = number of fish Ally caught

b = number of fish Beck caught

They caught a total of 75 fish, so we have:

b + a = 75  

From the facts in our question we know Ally would have caught 75 fewer fish than Beck.

3b = 2a + 75  

a = 75 - b

3b = 2(75 - b) + 75

3b = 150 - 2b + 75

5b = 225

5b ÷ 5 = 225 ÷ 5

b = 45

Beck caught 45 fish.

In a MBS first year class, there are three sections each including 20 students. In the first section, there are 10 boys and 10 girls, in the second section there are 15 boys and 5 girls, and in the third section, there are 12 boys and 8 girls. Five students are selected at random from each group to form committee of 15 students. What is the probability that all the 15 students selected are girls?​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]3.52 \times 10^{-9} = 3.52 \times 10^{-7}\%[/tex] probability that all the 15 students selected are girls

Step-by-step explanation:

The selection is from a sample without replacement, so we use the hypergeometric distribution to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x sucesses 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 sucesses.

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]

All girls from the first group:

20 students, so [tex]N = 20[/tex]

10 girls, so [tex]k = 10[/tex]

5 students will be selected, so [tex]n = 5[/tex]

We want all of them to be girls, so we find P(X = 5).

[tex]P_1 = P(X = 5) = h(5,20,5,10) = \frac{C_{10,5}*C_{10,5}}{C_{20,5}} = 0.0163[/tex]

All girls from the second group:

20 students, so [tex]N = 20[/tex]

5 girls, so [tex]k = 5[/tex]

5 students will be selected, so [tex]n = 5[/tex]

We want all of them to be girls, so we find P(X = 5).

[tex]P_2 = P(X = 5) = h(5,20,5,5) = \frac{C_{5,5}*C_{15,5}}{C_{20,5}} = 0.00006[/tex]

All girls from the third group:

20 students, so [tex]N = 20[/tex]

8 girls, so [tex]k = 8[/tex]

5 students will be selected, so [tex]n = 5[/tex]

We want all of them to be girls, so we find P(X = 5).

[tex]P_3 = P(X = 5) = h(5,20,5,8) = \frac{C_{8,5}*C_{12,5}}{C_{20,5}} = 0.0036[/tex]

All 15 students are girls:

Groups are independent, so we multiply the probabilities:

[tex]P = P_1*P_2*P_3 = 0.0163*0.00006*0.0036 = 3.52 \times 10^{-9}[/tex]

[tex]3.52 \times 10^{-9} = 3.52 \times 10^{-7}\%[/tex] probability that all the 15 students selected are girls

The volume of the rectangular prism is V = 936 cm³

What is the Volume of a Rectangle?

The volume of the rectangle is given by the product of the length of the rectangle and the width of the rectangle and the height of the rectangle

Volume of Rectangle = Length x Width x Height

Volume of Rectangle = Area of Rectangle x Height

Given data ,

To find the volume of the figure, we need to calculate the volumes of the two rectangular prisms separately and then add them together.

The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the formula:

Volume = length x width x height

For the first prism:

Length = 12 centimeters

Width = 9 centimeters

Height = 2 centimeters

Volume of first prism = 12 cm x 9 cm x 2 cm = 216 centimeters³

For the second prism:

Length = 10 centimeters

Width = 9 centimeters

Height = 8 centimeters

Volume of second prism = 10 cm x 9 cm x 8 cm = 720 centimeters³

Now, we add the volumes of the two prisms together to get the total volume of the figure:

216 cubic centimeters + 720 cubic centimeters = 936 centimeters³

Hence , the rectangular prism has volume of 936 cm³

Read the descriptions and identify which region each one describes. 1. Historically, this region has suffered from extreme poverty, which continues to this day. Growth has been effectively zero since the 1960s. Problems such as political instability, poor public health and a lack of effective institutions have all contributed to its stagnation. 2. Until the middle of the last century, these countries were relatively poor. Beginning in the mid 1970s, real GDP per capita growth has averaged 6% per year. The growth was achieved in part because of high levels of investment spending in the development of human and physical capital and rapid technological progress. 3. In the early 1990s, this region was in the middle of substantial social and economic reform. Countries in this region have experienced variable growth rates, depending on their ability to adapt to the modern market economy. 4. In the early 20th century, this region was reasonably prosperous. Since that time, however, growth has stagnated, owing to government instability, banking failures, and runaway inflation. Recently, some countries in the region have begun to grow more consistently, with one country becoming a powerhouse of world economic development. A. European Transition Economies B. North AfricaC.
