A boat takes 3 days to travel from town A to town B, but it takes 4 days to travel from town B to town A. If a motor-less raft is left alone in the water by town A, how long will it take for the raft to float to town B?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

24 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from A to B equals the distance from B to A.

Let the distance between A and B be d.

3 days = 72 hours

4 days = 96 hours

speed = distance/time

speeds are in miles per hour

speed from A to B = d/72

speed from B to A = d/96

difference in speeds:

d/72 - d/96 = d/288

The speed of the water is half of the difference.

speed = d/576

When the raft floats from A to B, it uses only the speed of the water.

d/576 / d/72 = 1/8

The speed of the water is 1/8 the overall speed of the trip from A to B, so traveling by the speed of the water alone must take 8 times longer than with the boat motor.

8 * 3 days = 24 days

Find equations of the tangent plane and the normal line to the given surface at the specified point. x + y + z = 7exyz, (0, 0, 7)

Answers

Answer:

Full question is:

Find equations of the tangent plane and the normal line to the given surface at the specified point. x + y + z = 7[tex]e^{xyz}[/tex] at a specified point (0, 0, 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a level surface, then it will give us

f(x,y,z) = x+y+z = 7[tex]e^{xyz}[/tex]. where f is the function of the x, y, and z coordinates.

Now let us calculate the ∇ gradient of f at point (0,0,7):

∇[tex]f|_{(0,0,7)}[/tex] = (fx,fy,fz) = (1−7yz[tex]e^{xyz}[/tex],1−7xz[tex]e^{xyz}[/tex],1−7xy[tex]e^{xyz}[/tex])[tex]|_{(0,0,7)}[/tex]

= (1, 1, 1)

We get the equation for the tangent plane A:

A: 1(x−0) + 1(y−0) + 1(z−7)=0

This can also be written as:

x+y+z = 7 ------------------------------------------------------------------(a)

The equation for the normal line B gives us :

2000 2yrs at 2% How much interest is owed

Answers

Answer:

Rs. 80 is owed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Principle (P) = 2000

Time (T) = 2 years

Rate (R) = 2%

Interest (I) = ?

Here,

I = (P×T×R) / 100

= (2000×2×2) / 100

= (8000) / 100

= Rs. 80

Answer:

P= 2000

T= 2

R=2÷100

I = PTR

= 2000×2×2÷100

2÷100=0.02

2000×2×0.02= 80

So i is 80

Use the given data to find the minimum sample size required to estimate the population proportion. Margin of error: 0.028; confidence level: 99%; p and q unknown

Answers

Answer:

The minimum sample size is [tex]n = 2123[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The margin of error is  [tex]E = 0.028[/tex]

   

Given that the confidence level is  99% then the level of significance is evaluated as

        [tex]\alpha = 100 - 99[/tex]

        [tex]\alpha = 1 \%[/tex]

        [tex]\alpha =0.01[/tex]

Next we obtain the critical value of  [tex]\frac{ \alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table

   The  value is  [tex]Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } = 2.58[/tex]

Now let  assume that the sample proportion is  [tex]\r p = 0.5[/tex]

  hence  [tex]\r q = 1 - \r p[/tex]

=>            [tex]\r q = 0.50[/tex]

   Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as

                [tex]n =[ \frac{Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} }}{ E} ]^2 * \r p * \r q[/tex]

                [tex]n =[ \frac{2.58}{ 0.028} ]^2 * 0.5 * 0.5[/tex]

Explanation:

Both AB and XY are the first two letters of ABC and XYZ respectively. So we have one fraction of AB/XY = 2/7.

AC and XZ are the first and last letters of ABC and XYZ respectively. We can form another fraction AC/XZ. I'm dividing in the same order of small over large to keep things consistent. As you can probably guess, the order of the letters ABC and XYZ are important so we see how the angles match up and how the proportional sides match up.

Because the triangles are similar, the two fractions formed earlier are equal to one another.

The equation we need to solve is AB/XY = AC/XZ

-----

AB/XY = AC/XZ

What are your null and alternative hypotheses? b. What test is appropriate here? Why? c. What is your test statistic? d. What is your critical value? e. What is your final decision: do you reject the null or fail to reject the null?

Answers

Answer:

a) and b)  Look step by step explanation

c) z(s) = - 12,07

d) z(c) = - 1,64

e) Final decision: Reject H₀

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume Normal Distribution

Data:

Sample population  n   = 1200

Sample mean         μ  =    3

Sample Standard deviation   2,87

Claim mean      μ₀  =  4

α = 0,05  then from z-table we find  z(c) = 1,64   ( critical value )

We need to develop a one tail-test to the left

Test Hypothesis

The General Society developed a survey ( in all cases that is an indication of a sample)

Null hypothesis                    H₀                      μ   =  μ₀

Alternative hypothesis        Hₐ                       μ  <  μ₀

To calculate the  z(s)

z(s) =  ( μ  -  μ₀ )/ 2,87/√n

z(s) =  ( 3 - 4 )/ 2,87/√1200

z(s) =   -1 * 34,64 / 2,87

z(s) = - 12,07

To compare  z(s) and z(c)

z(s)  <  z(c)           - 12,07 < - 1,64

z(s) is in the rejection region (quite far away) we reject H₀

Data provide enough evidence to disprove the claim

Step-by-step explanation:

The critical value is found by first assessing which statistical test should be used.

We are interested in investigating relationship between social activity and education so chi-square test would be appropriate.

We have 3 rows and 3 columns. The degree of freedom for chi-square critical value is (r-1)(c-1)=(3-1)(3-1)=2*2=4

Chi-square critical value(0.05,4)= 9.488

Gail bought 5 pounds of oranges and 2 pounds of bananas for $14. Her husband later bought 3 pounds of oranges and 6 pounds of bananas for $18. What was the cost per pound of the oranges and the bananas?

Answers

Answer:

1 pound of Oranges = $2

1 pound of Bananas = $2

Step-by-step explanation:

O = Oranges

B = Bananas

=> 5o + 2b = 14

=> 2b = 14 - 5o

=> b = 14/2 - 5/2o

=> b = 7 - 2.5o

3o + 6b = 18

=> 3o + 6( 7 - 2.5o ) = 18

=> 3o + 42 - 15o = 18

=> -12o + 42 = 18

=> -12o = -24

=> -o = -2

=> o = 2

One pound of oranges costs $2.

So,

5 (2) + 2b = 14

=> 10 + 2b = 14

=> 2b =4

=> b = 2

One pound of bananas also costs $2.

Answer: cost of orange per pound = 2$
Cost of banana per pound = 2$

Each side of a quilt square measures approximately 4.25 inches. If there are about 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch, how long is each side of the square in centimeters? Use complete sentences to explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer: approximately 10.8 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a square, where each side measures approx. 4.25 in

Now we know that 1in ≈ 2.54 cm

Then, in 4.25 in, we have 4.25 times 1 inch, so we have 4.25 times the length of 2.54 cm

So the approximate measure of the sides in centimeters is:

4.25*(2.54)cm = 10.8 cm

So we have that each side measures approximately 10.8 centimeters

A regular polygon inscribed in a circle can be used to derive the formula for the area of a circle. The polygon area can be expressed in terms of the area of a triangle. Let s be the side length of the polygon, let r be the hypotenuse of the right triangle, let h be the height of the triangle, and let n be the number of sides of the regular polygon. polygon area = n(12sh) Which statement is true? As h increases, s approaches r so that rh approaches r². As r increases, h approaches r so that rh approaches r². As s increases, h approaches r so that rh approaches r². As n increases, h approaches r so that rh approaches r².

Answers

Answer:

Option (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to get the area of a regular polygon in a circle will be,

Area = [tex]n[\frac{1}{2}\times (\text{Base})\times (\text{Height})][/tex]

        = [tex]n[\frac{1}{2}\times (\text{s})\times (\text{h})][/tex]

Here 'n' is the number of sides.

If n increases, h approaches r so that 'rh' approaches r².

In other words, if the number of sides of the polygon gets increased, area of the polygon approaches the area of the circle.

Therefore, Option (4) will be the answer.

In this exercise it is necessary to have knowledge about polygons, so we have to:

Letter D

Then using the formula for the area of ​​a regular polygon we find that:

[tex]A=n(1/2*B*H)\\=n(1/2*S*H)[/tex]

So from this way we were not able to identify the option that best corresponds to this alternative.

two cars started to move towards each other at the same time. the speed of the first car was twice the speed of the second car. they met in two hours. if the distance traveled altogether was 300 km find the rates of the cars.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let v be the speed of the slower car

2v is the speed of the faster car

In 2 hrs, the slower car travels a distance of

2 hr(v km/hr) = 2v km

In 2 hrs, the faster car travels a distance of

2 hr(2v km/hr) = 4v km

2v + 4v = 300

6v = 300

 v = 50 km/hr

2v = 100 km/hr

Suppose that the credit remaining on a phone card (in dollars) is a linear function of the total calling time (in minutes). When graphed, the function gives a line with a slope of -0.12. See the figure below. There is $28.96 in credit remaining on the card after minutes of calls. How much credit was there after 21 minutes of calls?

Answers

Answer:

Credit remaining after 21 minutes = $30.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Credit remaining on a phone card is a linear function of the total calling time.

When graphed, let the linear function representing the line is,

y = mx + b

Where 'm' = slope of the line

b = y-intercept

From the graph,

Slope of the line = -0.12

y = -0.12x + b

If this line passes through a point (33, 28.96),

28.96 = -0.12(33) + b

b = 28.96 + 3.96

b = 32.92

Therefore, the linear function is,

f(x) = -0.12x + 32.92

where x = calling time

Credit left in the card after 21 minutes,

f(21) = -0.12(21) + 32.92

      = -2.52 + 32.92

      = $30.4
