Answers

Answer 1

Complete question :

The Hiking Club is taking another trip. The hike leader's watch shows that they gained 296 feet in altitude from their starting position. Their altitude is now 285 feet, but there is no record of their starting altitude. Write and solve an equation to represent this situation and find their starting altitude.

Answer:

Expression :

285 = x + 296

Starting altitude, x = - 11 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let starting position = x

Altitude gained = 296 feets

Final attitude = 285 feets

The starting altitude could be obtained by the expression :

Final altitude = starting altitude + Altitude gained

285 = x + 296

Solve for x, to obtain starting altitude ;

285 - 296 = x + 296 - 296

-11 = x

Hence, starting altitude is - 11 feets

What percentage of the people surveyed own a bird?

Answers

Using proportions, it is found that the percentage of the people surveyed own a bird is given by:

C. 6%.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. When the proportion is multiplied by 100%, a percentage is found.

The proportion of people who own a bird is:

p = 0.04 + 0.02 = 0.06.

Hence the percentage is of 6%, which means that option C is correct.

1. Find the angle between the vectors:
i-23 + 5k and 3i+j - 2k

Answers

Answer:

The angle between the two vectors

∝ = 64°

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given that the vectors

                           [tex]a^{-} = i^{-} - 2j^{-} +5k^{-}[/tex]

          and

                         [tex]b^{-} = 3i^{-} +j^{-} -2k^{-}[/tex]

[tex](a^{-} . b^{-} ) = (i^{-} - 2j^{-} +5k^{-} ) . (3 i^{-} + j^{-} - 2k^{-} )[/tex]

           =  3 (i⁻ . i⁻) - 2(j⁻.j⁻) -10(k⁻.k⁻)

          = 3 - 2 -10

          = -9

Step(ii):-

Let '∝' be the angle between the two vectors

                    [tex]cos\alpha = \frac{a^{-}.b^{-} }{|a||b|}[/tex]

                  [tex]cos\alpha = \frac{|-9| }{\sqrt{1+4+25}\sqrt{9+1+4} }[/tex]

                 [tex]cos\alpha = \frac{|-9| }{\sqrt{30}\sqrt{14} }[/tex]

               [tex]\alpha =cos^{-1} ( \frac{|-9| }{\sqrt{30}\sqrt{14} })[/tex]

              ∝ = cos⁻¹(0.4392) = 63.947

Final answer:-

The angle between the two vectors

               ∝ = cos⁻¹(0.4392) = 63.947

                ∝ = 64°

For the right triangles below, find the values of the side lengths d and a.
Round your answers to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

a = 1.4 and d = 6.9

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the value of d and a, we will use the SOH CAH TOA identity

For the first tringle;

Opposite = d ((opposite angle 60 degrees)

Adjacent = 4

Tan theta = opp/adj

Tan 60 = d/4

d  = 4tan60

d = 4(1.732)

d = 6.9

For the second triangle;

Opposite = a

Hypotenuse = 2

Since sin theta = opp/hyp

Sin45 = a/2

a = 2sin45

a = 2(0.7071)

a = 1.4

Hence a = 1.4 and d = 6.9

At a recent meeting, the manager of a national call center for a major Internet bank made the statement that the average past-due amount for customers who have been called previously about their bills is now no larger than $20. Other bank managers at the meeting suggested that this statement may be in error and it needs to be tested. The file called Bank Call Center attached below, contains data for a random sample of 67 customers from the call center population. What should be conducted based on the sample data? Test using α = 0.10

Answers

Answer:

As the calculated z does not fall in the critical region we fail to reject H0 and conclude that there is sufficient evidence that the average past-due amount for customers who have been called previously about their bills is now no larger than $23.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the standard deviation for the past due amounts is 63

The sample size n= 67

1) Formulate the null and alternate hypothesis

H0: u ≤ 23 against the claim Ha: u > 23

2)  The test statistics is

Z= x- u / σ/ √n

z= 20- 23/ 63/ √67

z= 0.00581

z= 0.006

3) The significance level ∝= 0.1

4) The critical value for ∝= 0.1 is Z > ±2.33

5) As the calculated z does not fall in the critical region we fail to reject H0 and conclude that there is sufficient evidence that the average past-due amount for customers who have been called previously about their bills is now no larger than $23.

Penny is going to fly her plane to her sister's house, which is 544.32 miles away. Penny's airplane flies at an average speed of 672 miles per hour. How long does it take Penny to fly to her sister's house?

Answers

Answer:

0.81 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Distance=  544.32 miles

Speed=  672 miles per hour.

We know that

Speed= distance/time

Substitute

672=  544.32/time

cross multiply

time*672= 544.32

time= 544.32/672

time= 0.81 hour

A shopper bought 7 ears of corn and 6 pounds of bananas and paid $5.15. At the same store, another shopper bought 4 ears of corn and 1 pound of bananas and paid $1.85 . What is the price of an ear of corn?


Please help!

Answers

Answer:

$0.70 per ear of corn

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c = Ear of corn

Let b = pound of bananas

First shopper:

7c + 6b = $5.15

Second Shopper:

4c + 1b = $1.85

Solve one equation for b since you are solving for c:

4c + 1b = $1.85

b = $1.85 - 4c

Substitute into other equation:

7c + 6b = $5.15    <---  b = $1.85 - 4c

7c + 6 ($1.85 - 4c) = $5.15

7c + $11.1 - 24c = $5.15

-17c + $11.1 - $11.1 = $5.15 - $11.1

-17c /-17 = -$11.85 /-17

c = $0.70 per ear of corn

Suppose you know the perimeter of a rectangle. How can you write

an equation for the area in terms of the length of a side?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

L+W+L+W=26 so 2L=26–2W and you can find length from the perimeter as L=13−W

LW=42 so L=42/W is the other way to find the length, from the area. Both ways require you to know W, but if you have both pieces of information the two answers for length must be the same 42/W=13−W, and you solve this:

42=13W−W2

W2–13W+42=0

(W−6)(W−7)=0

When I have walked 20% of the way to school, I have 1200 metres more to walk than when I have 20% of the walk remaining.

How far, in metres, is it from my home to my school?

Answers

Answer:

The house is 2000 meters from the school.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, when I have walked 20% of the way to school, I have 1200 meters more to walk than when I have 20% of the walk remaining, to determine how far, in meters, is it from my home to my school the following calculation has to be done:

100 - 20 = 80

80 = 20 + 1200

80 - 20 = 1200

60 = 1200

1200/60 = 20

20 x 100 = 2000

Therefore, the house is 2000 meters from the school.
