A car and a motorcycle whose average rates are in the ratio of 4:5 travel a distance of 160 miles. If the motorcycle
travels 1/2 hour less than the car, find the average rate of each.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I always advise my students to make a table of information for these story problems because trying to keep track of the information otherwise is a nightmare. The table will look like this:

           d      =      r      *      t

m

c

m is motorcycle and c is car.

First thing we are told is that the ratio of m's speed to c's speed is 5:4; that means that we can divide 5/4 to find out how many times faster m is going than c.

5/4 = 1.25 so we have a couple of values to put into the table right away, along with the fact that they are both traveling the same distance of 160 miles.

             d      =     r      *      t

m        160     =   1.25r

c         160     =     r

The last thing we have to fill in is the time. If m travels a half hour less than c, c is driving a half hour more than m, right? Filling that in:

            d      =      r      *      t

m       160     =   1.25r   *     t

c        160     =      r       *  t + .5

Now we have our 2 equations. Looking at the top row of the table gives us the formula we need to solve this problem. It tells us, in other words, what we are going to be doing with these columns of numbers. Distance equals the rate times the time. For the motorcycle, the equation is:

160 = (1.25r)t  and that seems pretty useless since we still have 2 unknowns in there and you can only have 1 unknown in 1 equation. Let's see what the equation for the car is.

160 = (t + .5)r  Same problem.

Let's go back to the equation for the motorcycle and since we are looking for the rates of each, let's solve that equation for time in terms of rate (solve it for t):

[tex]t=\frac{160}{1.25r}[/tex] and sub that into the car's equation in place of t:

[tex]160=r(\frac{160}{1.25r})+.5r[/tex] and simplify. The r's to the left of the plus sign cancel out leaving us with:

[tex]160=(\frac{160}{1.25})+.5r[/tex] and divide those numbers inside the parenthesis to get:

160 = 128 + .5r and subtract 128 from both sides to get:

32 = .5r and finally divide by .5 to get

r = 64 miles/hour

The car goes 64 mph and the motorcycle goes 1.25 times that so,

m = 1.25(64) and

m = 80 mph

given the recursive formula below, what are the first four terms of the sequence

Answers

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

The first four terms are 17, 15, 13, and 11.

What is a function?

function is a relationship between inputs where each input is related to exactly one output.

Example:

f(x) = 2x + 1

f(1) = 2 + 1 = 3

f(2) = 2 x 2 + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5

The outputs of the functions are 3 and 5

The inputs of the function are 1 and 2.

We have,

f(n):

f(1) = 17

f(n) = f(n - 1) - 2 if n > 1

Now,

The first term is 17.

The second term.
f(2) = f(2 - 1) - 2

= f(1) - 2

= 17 - 2

= 15

The third term.

= f(3 - 1) - 2

= f(2) - 2

= 15 - 2

= 13

The fourth term.

f(4) = f(4 - 1) - 2
= f(3) - 2

= 13 - 2

= 11

Thus,

The terms are 17, 15, 13, 11

(b) In a formula, z varies inversely as P. If Z is 200 when P is 4, find z when P is 10.

Answers

Answer:

(a) 18

(b) 80

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) let y=kx

so, 24=16k

or, k=24/16 or, k=3/2

now, putting x=12

y=kx

or, y=(3/2)×12

or, y=3×12/2

or, y=36/2

or, y=18

(b) let P=k/z

so, 4=k/200

or, k=800

when P = 10

P=k/z

or, 10=800/z

or, z=800/10

or, z=80

Maximum and minimum value

Answers

Answer:

Maximum: 1

Minimum: -1

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we can find the derivative of the function and then solve for when the derivative is equal to 0, finding the local maximum and minimum values in this function. Then, we can compare those points to the endpoints of the interval to find the maximum and minimum.

Using the Quotient Rule, we can say that

(f/g) ' = (f'g - fg')/(g²)

[tex]\frac{2x}{x^2+1}dx = \frac{\frac{d}{dx}(2x) * (x^2+1) - \frac{d}{dx} (x^2+1) * (2x) }{(x^2+1)^2} \\= \frac{2 *(x^2+1) - (2x)*(2x)}{(x^2+1)^2} \\[/tex]

Since we just need to solve for 0, we can disregard for the bottom part, resulting in

2(x²+1)-(2x)(2x) = 0

2x²+2-4x² = 0

2-2x² = 0

add 2x² to both sides to isolate the x² and its coefficient

2x² = 2

divide both sides by 2

x²=1

x = ±1

Therefore, we have 4 possible values for the maximum and minimum over this interval:

-2, -1, 0, 1

Trying each of these numbers into f(x),

f(-2) = -4/5

f(-1) = -2/2 = -1

f(0) = 0/1 = 0

f(1) = 2/2 = 1

Therefore, the maximum and minimum values of the function over the given interval are 1 and -1 respectively

An automobile manufacturer has given its car a 46.7 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the actual MPG for this car since it is believed that the car has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 150 cars, they found a mean MPG of 46.5. Assume the population standard deviation is known to be 1.1. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used. State the null and alternative hypotheses.

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis H0: The null hypothesis states that there is no relationship between the two things that are being considered.

The alternative hypothesis is contradictory to H0 and it explains that there is a relationship between the two selected variables.

Based on the question, the null hypothesis H0 is that the rating of car is equal to 46.7 miles per gallon. μ = 46.7 MPG

The alternative hypothesis Ha is that the rating of the car is not equal to 46.7 Miles per gallon. μ ≠ 46.7 MPG

Kara ate 2 7/9 of the raisins she packed. Which box shows the decimal equivalent of the amount of raisins she ate? Box A: 2.777 etc Box B: 2.79 Box C: 2.999 etc.

Answers

Answer:  Box A, 2.777

=======================================================

Explanation:

When using a calculator or long division, you should find that

7/9 = 0.7777...

where the 7s go on forever

So we can say that 7/9 = 0.777 approximately. You could argue that the last '7' would round up to an '8' and we could say 7/9 = 0.778; however, I'll stick to the first value so that it matches with the answer.

Since 7/9 = 0.777, this means 2 & 7/9 = 2 + 7/9 = 2 + 0.777 = 2.777 which is box A.
