A motor boat travels 60 miles down a river in 3 hours but takes 5 hours to return upstream. Find the rate of the boat in still water and the rate of the current.

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A motor boat travels 60 miles down a river in 3 hours but takes 5 hours to return upstream,

We know that,

Speed = distance/time

The rate while moving downstream[tex]=\dfrac{60}{3}=20\ mph[/tex]

The rate while moving upstream [tex]=\dfrac{60}{5}=12\ mph[/tex]

The rate of the boat in still water is the average of these:

[tex]v_s=\dfrac{20+12}{2}=16\ mph[/tex]

The rate of the current is the difference between the boat speed and actual speed = 16 mph - 12 mph = 4 mph

Hence, this is the required solution.

Jenny made 200 bracelets. She sold 64% of the bracelets at a craft fair.
a. How many bracelets did she sell?
b. How many bracelets were not sold?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

shslsfauahcaiscwrwpagw6wpwfwyw

Answer:

Jenny sold 128 braclets. 72 bracelets weren't sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

IMPORTANT FORMULA: TO CONVERT A NUMBER TO A PERCENT, YOU HAVE TO MULTIPLY BY 100. TO CONVERT A PERCENT TO A NUMBER, YOU HAVE TO DIVIDE BY 100.

a) How many bracelets did she sell?

Using the formula that is shown above, I can conclude that 64%=64/100=32/50=16/25

Jenny sold 64% of the 200 bracelets.

In mathematics, the word "of" means multiplication.

64% of 200 = 16/25 * 200 = 128

Jenny sold 128 braclets.

to answer part 2, 200 bracelets - 128 bracelets = 72 bracelets.

72 bracelets weren't sold.

Charlene is a video game designer and wants to make sure that her games can be played on all types of screens. In order for the games to work on both devices with a standard aspect ratio and those with widescreen aspect ratios, the playable area of the games should have an aspect ratio of 3:2. This means that the width is equal to times the height. On one type of tablet, the playable area of the game on the screen is 54 square inches. Write and solve a system of equations to determine the dimensions of the playable area. A. The playable area has a width of 13.5 inches and a height of 9 inches. B. The playable area has a width of 6 inches and a height of 9 inches. C. The playable area has a width of 6 inches and a height of 4 inches. D. The playable area has a width of 9 inches and a height of 6 inches.

Answers

Answer:

The playable area has a width of 9 inches and a height of 6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a number of ways you can get there.

1. Check the answers to see which have the right area and aspect ratio.

A: area = 24 in² — does not match 54 in²

B: area = 54 in², aspect ratio 6:9 = 2:3 — does not match 3:2 aspect ratio

C: area = 54 in², aspect ratio 9:6 = 3:2 — matches problem statement

D: area = 121.5 in² — does not match 54 in²

2. If the screen were 3:2 (inches), its area would be 6 in². The area of 54 in² is 9 times that value, so the actual screen dimensions are √9 = 3 times 3:2. That is, they are width:height = 9:6 inches — matches selection C.

3. You can write equations for width and height and solve.

w/h = 3/2

wh = 54

Substituting w=3/2·h into the second equation gives

... (3/2)h·h = 54

... h² = 36 . . . . . multiply by 2/3

... h = √36 = 6 . . . . square root, result in inches

Answer:

D. The playable area has a width of 9 inches and a height of 6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

if the playable area is 54 and that such ratio of dimensions is 3:2

Then we are basically being asked to find the factor of ratios below that also multiply to get 54

54 = 9 x 6 and this is also a ratio of 3:2

As 3(3 + 2) = 54

and as width was asked first when ratio was given 3:2

The width therefore is 9 and the height is 6

So answer is D

Chad has a rope that is 15 yards long. How many pieces of rope measuring 5/7 of a yard can he divide his rope into?
A. 28
B. 21
C. 35
D. 14

Answers

Answer:

Chad can divide his rope in 21 pieces. (Answer B)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve we divide.

15 divided by 5/7 is what we need to know.

When dividing fractions it is the same thing as multiplying by the reciprocal (flipped version of the fraction).

[tex]15[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{5}{7}[/tex] = 15 × [tex]\frac{7}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{15}{1}[/tex]  × [tex]\frac{7}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{105}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{105}{5}[/tex] = 21

Chad can divide his rope in 21 pieces.

Answer:

21 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the equation of the circle with center C(-5,8) and radius = 7

Answers

Answer:

( h + 5 )^2 + ( y - 8 ) ^2 = 49

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a circle:

( x - h )^2 + ( y - k )^2 = r^2

Where ( h , k ) = center and r = radius

We are given that the circle has a center at ( -5 , 8 ) meaning that h = -5 and k = 8

We are also given that the circle has a radius of 7 meaning that r = 7

Now that we have identified each variable we plug the values into the equation

( h - (-5)^2 + ( y - 8 )^2 = 7^2

Our final step is to simplify

we get that the equation of the circle is

( h + 5 )^2 + ( y - 8 ) ^2 = 49

2.) Find the zeros of the quadratic function y = x2 – 3x + 2 by factoring method. ​

Answers

Answer:

The zeros are 1 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]y =x^2 - 3x + 2[/tex]

Required

The zeros

[tex]y =x^2 - 3x + 2[/tex]

Expand

[tex]y =x^2 - 2x-x + 2[/tex]

Factorize

[tex]y =x(x - 2)-1(x - 2)[/tex]

Factor out x - 2

[tex]y =(x - 1)(x - 2)[/tex]

Set to 0

[tex](x - 1)(x - 2)=0[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]x - 1 = 0 \to x =1[/tex]

[tex]x - 2 = 0 \to x =2[/tex]

Hence, the zeros are 1 and 2

The height of a square pyramid where the lateral area equals 240 cm sq. and the edges of the base are 12cm

Answers

Answer:

The height is 8cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]L_A = 240cm^2[/tex] --- lateral area

[tex]a = 12cm[/tex] --- base lengths

Required

The height of the pyramid

The lateral area of a square pyramid is:

[tex]L_A = a\sqrt{a^2 + 4h^2[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]240 = 12\sqrt{12^2 + 4h^2[/tex]

[tex]240 = 12\sqrt{144 + 4h^2[/tex]

Divide both sides by 12

[tex]20 = \sqrt{144 + 4h^2[/tex]

Square both sides

[tex]400 = 144 + 4h^2[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]4h^2 = 400 - 144[/tex]

[tex]4h^2 = 256[/tex]

Divide by 4

[tex]h^2 = 64[/tex]

Take square roots

[tex]h = 8[/tex]

F=(2xy +z³)i + x³j + 3xz²k find a scalar potential and work done in moving an object in the field from (1,-2,1) to (3,1,4)​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

[tex]\textbf{F} = (2xy + z^3)\hat{\textbf{i}} + x^3\hat{\textbf{j}} + 3xz^2\hat{\textbf{k}}[/tex]

This field will have a scalar potential [tex]\varphi[/tex] if it satisfies the condition [tex]\nabla \times \textbf{F}=0[/tex]. While the first x- and y- components of [tex]\nabla \times \textbf{F}[/tex] are satisfied, the z-component doesn't.

[tex](\nabla \times \textbf{F})_z = \left(\dfrac{\partial F_y}{\partial x} - \dfrac{\partial F_x}{\partial y} \right)[/tex]

[tex]\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\: = 3x^2 - 2x \ne 0[/tex]

Therefore the field is nonconservative so it has no scalar potential. We can still calculate the work done by defining the position vector [tex]\vec{\textbf{r}}[/tex] as

[tex]\vec{\textbf{r}} = x \hat{\textbf{i}} + y \hat{\textbf{j}} + z \hat{\textbf{k}}[/tex]

and its differential is

[tex]\textbf{d} \vec{\textbf{r}} = dx \hat{\textbf{i}} + dy \hat{\textbf{j}} + dz \hat{\textbf{k}}[/tex]

The work done then is given by

[tex]\displaystyle \oint_c \vec{\textbf{F}} • \textbf{d} \vec{\textbf{r}} = \int ((2xy + z^3)\hat{\textbf{i}} + x^3\hat{\textbf{j}} + 3xz^2\hat{\textbf{k}}) • (dx \hat{\textbf{i}} + dy \hat{\textbf{j}} + dz \hat{\textbf{k}})[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle = (x^2y + xz^3) + x^3y + xz^3|_{(1, -2, 1)}^{(3, 1, 4)}[/tex]

QUESTION 1
Determine the work done by the force
F=31+] + k in moving an object through
displacement T = 7 -7 -K​

Answers

It's difficult to make out what the force and displacement vectors are supposed to be, so I'll generalize.

Let θ be the angle between the force vector F and the displacement vector r. The work W done by F in the direction of r is

W = F • r cos(θ)

The cosine of the angle between the vectors can be obtained from the dot product identity,

a • b = ||a|| ||b|| cos(θ)   ==>   cos(θ) = (a • b) / (||a|| ||b||)

so that

W = (F • r)² / (||F|| ||r||)

For instance, if F = 3i + j + k and r = 7i - 7j - k (which is my closest guess to the given vectors' components), then the work done by F along r is

W = ((3i + j + k) • (7i - 7j - k))² / (√(3² + 1² + 1²) √(7² + (-7)² + (-1)²))

==>   W ≈ 5.12 J

(assuming F and r are measured in Newtons (N) and meters (m), respectively).

What is the rate of change of y with respect to x?

Answers

Answer:

[tex] -\frac{9}{2} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of change of x and y can be calculated using the following formula and using any two given pair of values from the table:

Rate of change = [tex] \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} [/tex]

Using (-12, 60) and (-6, 33).

Where,

[tex] (-12, 60) = (x_1, y_1) [/tex]

[tex] (-6, 33) = (x_2, y_2) [/tex]

Plug is the values

Rate of change = [tex] \frac{33 - 60}{-6 -(-12)} [/tex]

Rate of change = [tex] \frac{-27}{6} [/tex]

Simplify

Rate of change = [tex] \frac{-9}{2} [/tex]

Rate of change = [tex] -\frac{9}{2} [/tex]
