10) Spike drives for 50 miles at 60mph. He slows down and travels
another 50 miles at 40mph. For the final part of the 120 mile journey,
he speeds up to 80mph. How long does he take altogether? What is
his average speed (to the nearest mph)?
Answers
Answer:
2 1/3 hours or 2 hours 20 minutes.
51.4 mph to 1 decimal place.
Step-by-step explanation:
Time = distance speed
First 50 miles time taken = 50 / 60 = 5/6 hours
Second 50 miles - time = 50/40 = 5/4 hours.
Final 20 miles - time taken = 20 / 80 = 1/4 hours.
Total time taken = 5/6 + 5/4 + 1/4
= 5/6 + 6/4
= 10/12 + 18/12
= 28/12
= 7/3 or 2 1/3 hours or 2 hours 20 minutes.
Average speed = total distance / total time
= 120 / 7/3
= 120 * 3/7
= 51.4 mph to 1 decimal place.

PLSSS HELP State the maximum number of turns the graph of each function could make 1. f(x)=x^5-3x+1 2.f(x)=-x^7-7x^5-4x^3
Answers
Answer:
max for 5th-degree: 4 turns. This function: 2 turns.max for 7th-degree: 6 turns. This function: 0 turns.Step-by-step explanation:
In general, the graph of an n-th degree function can make n-1 turns. However, in specific cases, the number of turns is limited by the number of real zero-crossings of the derivative.
__
1. This 5th-degree function can have at most 4 turns. However, the derivative, f'(x) = 5x^4 -3, has only two (2) real zeros. Hence the graph of this function can only have 2 turns.
__
2. This 7th-degree function can have at most 6 turns. However, the derivative, f'(x) = -7x^6 -35x^4-12x^2, has an even-multiplicity root at x=0 only. The derivative never crosses 0. Hence the graph makes no turns.

How many distinct triangles can be drawn using three of the dots below as vertices?
Answers
Answer:
The number of distinct triangles that can be drawn using the dots = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The parameters given are;
Two rows of three evenly spaced dots
To form a triangle, two dots will be selected from 1 row while the third dot will be selected from the other row
The number of ways of selecting the dots are therefore;
₃C₂ × ₃C₁ = 3 × 3 = 9 triangles
The same procedure can be done from the top row to give another 9 triangles
Which gives the total number of triangles = 18 triangles
The number of distinct triangles are found as follows;
Given that triangles obtained from the top row are similar to those of the bottom row, we reduce the range from which the distinct triangles can be found to 19 - 9 = 9 triangles
Of the 9 triangles formed by one dot on top and two dots on the bottom, the two adjacent dots of the three dots which are on the left and on the right of the lower row of dots, form the same three triangles with the three dots on the top row
Therefore, since there are 3 sets of two dots forming 9 triangles, each pair of dots can form 3 triangles, and as mentioned, 2 pairs of dots of the 3 pairs form the same triangles making the distinct triangle = 9 - 3 = 6.

Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
It is an iscoceles triangle because there are 180 degrees in a triangle and the right angle plus the 45 degree equals 135 and 180 minus 135 is 45.
Since it is an iscoceles triangle that means that n = 3 and the pythagorean theorom says that a^2 + b^2 = c^2 which means that m = 3^2 plus 3^2 with a root.
3^2 is 9 so you get 18
the root of 18 is infinite, however can be simplified to 3 root to 2 because 3 times 3 equals 9 times 2 equals a root of 18

Determine the measure of obtuse angle A. answers: A) 130° B) 122° C) 58° D) 7°
Answers
Answer:
B) 122 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the kite :- the 2 angles at the tangents are 90 degrees so we have:
9x - 5 + 14x + 24 + 90 + 90 = 360
9x - 5 + 14x + 24 = 180
23x + 19 = 180
23x = 161
x = 7
So the obtuse angle = 14(7) + 24
= 98 + 24
= 122 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:
From the interpretation of the question statement, the trader wants to conduct a hypothesis test on the trader's claim that the proportion of stocks that offer dividends is different from 0.14
Given that the difference is hypothesized, then the null hypothesis, H₀ and the alternative hypothesis, H₁ should be written as follows;
H₀: Null hypothesis (no difference, or no change)
H₁: μ ≠ μ₀ which is hypothesizing difference which is known as a two-tailed test
The confidence level is then selected and the test statistic is calculated

Answers
Answer:
Simplifying
41 = 12d + -7
Reorder the terms:
41 = -7 + 12d
Solving
41 = -7 + 12d
Solving for variable 'd'.
Move all terms containing d to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-12d' to each side of the equation.
41 + -12d = -7 + 12d + -12d
Combine like terms: 12d + -12d = 0
41 + -12d = -7 + 0
41 + -12d = -7
Add '-41' to each side of the equation.
41 + -41 + -12d = -7 + -41
Combine like terms: 41 + -41 = 0
0 + -12d = -7 + -41
-12d = -7 + -41
Combine like terms: -7 + -41 = -48
-12d = -48
Divide each side by '-12'.
d = 4
Simplifying
d = 4

Answers
Answer:
B. The variable s represents the number of students in each class.
C. The coefficient 14 represents the number of classes in the 9th grade.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number can be found by multiplying the number of the things with the number of people producing it. For example if 5 boys make 5 colored ropes the total number of ropes will be 5*5= 25.
In this question the combinations rule is used for variuos number of classes which are 14. Now we have to find the number of students which are s (s-1). Suppose s= 6 so the number of students would be 6(6-1) = 6(5) = 30
We will multiply the number of classes 14 with the number of students s(s-1) to get the total number of cards produced.

Add 4x to each side
3y = 4x+11
Divide by 3
y = 4/3 x +11/3
This is in the form y = mx+b where m is the slope
m =4/3
The parallel line has the same slope
parallel slope is 4/3
The perpendicular line has a negative reciprocal slope
m = -(1 /4/3) = - 3/4
Answer:
[tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] and - [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Given
- 4x + 3y = 11 ( add 4x to both sides )
3y = 4x + 11 ( divide all terms by 3 )
y = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] x + [tex]\frac{11}{3}[/tex] ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

PLEASE!!! HELP!!! Question: If you have points on a graph that plot (1,7), (2,8), (3,5) and (4,6) what would be the slope?
Answers
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
You only need two points to find the slope.
Let's use (1,7) and (2,8).
The formula for slope is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Let's plug the values in:
(8-7)/(2-1) = 1.
So, the slope is 1.
