A bus averages 2 miles per hour faster than a motorcycle. If the bus travels 165 miles in the same time it takes the motorcycle to travel 155 miles, then what is the speed of each?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The bus travels at 33 miles per hour while the motorcycle travels at 31 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the bus average speed with x and the motorcycle average speed with y

Given

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

Distance covered by bus = 165 miles

Distance covered by motorcycle in same time = 155 miles

Required

Determine the speed of each

Average Speed is calculated as;

[tex]Average\ Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]

Since the two are measured with the same time, represent time with T

For the bus

[tex]Average\ Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex] becomes

[tex]x = \frac{165}{T}[/tex]

Make T the subject of formula

[tex]T = \frac{165}{x}[/tex]

For the motorcycle

[tex]y = \frac{155}{T}[/tex]

Make T the subject of formula

[tex]T = \frac{155}{y}[/tex]

Since, T = T; we have that

[tex]\frac{165}{x} = \frac{155}{y}[/tex]

Cross Multiply

[tex]165y = 155x[/tex]

Substitute [tex]x = y + 2[/tex]

[tex]165y = 155(y+2)[/tex]

Open Bracket

[tex]165y = 155y - 310[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]165y - 155y = 310[/tex]

[tex]10y = 310[/tex]

Divide both sides by 10

[tex]y = 31[/tex]

Recall that [tex]x = y + 2[/tex]

[tex]x = 31 +2[/tex]

[tex]x = 33[/tex]

Hence;

The bus travels at 33 miles per hour while the motorcycle travels at 31 miles per hour

josue bought 7 pounds of pretzels at a local wholesaler for $16.80. his friend ricardo bought 5 pounds of pretzels at the supermarket for $12.75. Ricardo thinks he got the better deal because $12.75 is less than $16.80. Is Ricardo's reasoning correct? Explain why or why not.

Answers

(josue) 16.8/7 = $2.4 per lb
(ricardo) 12.75/5 = $2.55 per lb

ricardo is incorrect because if you solve for the price per pound ( price/amount ), josue paid $2.40 for each pound of pretzels while ricardo paid $2.55 per pound. ricardo ended up paying more.

Compute the mean and variance of the following probability distribution. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) x P(x) 3 .10 11 .30 19 .20 27 .40

Answers

Answer:

69.76

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is the average of the numbers. It can be gotten by adding all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers available.

Variance (σ2) measure the spread between numbers in a data set. That is, it measures how far each number in the set is from the mean .

mean value can be computed using below expression

= ∑x(i)P(x(i))

= 3(0.10)+11(0.30)+19(0.20)+27(0.40)

= 18.2

Therefore, the mean value is 18.2

The variance can be calculated using below expression

variance

= ∑(x(i)-mean)^2 P(x(i))

= (3-18.2)^2 (.10) + (11-18.2)^2 (.30) + (19-18.2)^2 (.20)+(27-18.2)^2(0.40)

= 69.76

Therefore, the variance Vale is 69.76

Write your answer in radians in terms of pi, and use the "or" button as necessary.
Example: theta = pi/5 + 2 k pi, k element Z or theta = pi/7 + k pi, k element Z

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\theta[/tex] =2mπ + π/3 for m ∈ Z.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation [tex]2sin\theta - \sqrt{3} = 0[/tex], we are to find all the values of [tex]\theta[/tex] that satisfies the equation.

[tex]2sin\theta - \sqrt{3} = 0\\\\2sin\theta = \sqrt{3} \\\\sin\theta = \sqrt{3}/2 \\\\\theta = sin{-1} \sqrt{3}/2 \\\\\theta = 60^0[/tex]

General solution for sin[tex]\theta[/tex] is [tex]\theta[/tex] = nπ + (-1)ⁿ ∝, where n ∈ Z.

If n is an even number say 2m, then [tex]\theta[/tex] = (2m)π + ∝ where ∝ = 60° = π/3

Hence, the general solution to the equation will be [tex]\theta[/tex] = 2mπ + π/3 for m ∈ Z.

A multiple regression model involves 5 independent variables and a sample of 10 data points. If we want to test the validity of the model at the 5% significance level, the critical value is:

Answers

Answer:

The critical value is 6.26.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that there are 5 independent variables involved in a multiple regression model and the sample consist of 10 data points.

The critical value of F to test the significance of the model is:

[tex]\text{Critical Value}=F_{\alpha, (k, n-k-1)}[/tex]

Here,

k = number of independent variables

n = number of observations.

Then the critical value is:

[tex]\text{Critical Value}=F_{\alpha, (k, n-k-1)}[/tex]

                      [tex]=F_{\alpha, (5, 10-5-1)}\\=F_{0.05,(5, 4)}\\=6.2561\\\approx 6.26[/tex]

*Use a F-table.

Thus, the critical value is 6.26.

Given the equations, which of the following represents z1 * z2? Using the same values in #6, which of the following represents z1/z2 in standard form?

The selected answers are incorrect.

Answers

Answer:

First Attachment : Option A,

Second Attachment : Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

z₁ = [tex]3(\cos ((\pi )/(6))+i\sin ((\pi )/(6)))[/tex] and z₂ = [tex]4(\cos ((\pi )/(3))+i\sin ((\pi )/(3)))[/tex]

Therefore if we want to determine z₁( z₂ ), we would have to find the trigonometric form of the following expression,

[tex]3(\cos ((\pi )/(6))+i\sin ((\pi )/(6)))*4(\cos ((\pi )/(3))+i\sin ((\pi )/(3)))[/tex]

( Combine expressions )

= [tex]12(\cos ( \pi /6+\pi / 3 ) + i\sin (\pi /6 +\pi / 3 )[/tex]

( Let's now add [tex]\pi / 6 + \pi / 3[/tex], further simplifying this expression )

[tex]\frac{\pi }{6}+\frac{\pi }{3} = \frac{\pi }{6}+\frac{\pi 2}{6} = \frac{\pi +\pi 2}{6} = \frac{3\pi }{6} = \pi / 2[/tex]

( Substitute )

[tex]12(\cos ( \pi /2 ) + i\sin ( \pi /2 ) )[/tex]

And therefore the correct solution would be option a, for the first attachment.

______________________________________________

For this second attachment, we would have to solve for the following expression,

[tex]\frac{3\left(\cos \left(\frac{\pi \:}{6}\right)+i\sin \left(\frac{\pi \:}{6}\right)\right)}{4\left(\cos \left(\frac{\pi \:}{3}\right)+i\sin \left(\frac{\pi \:}{3}\right)\right)}[/tex]

From which we know that cos(π/6) = √3 / 2, sin(π/6) = 1 / 2, cos(π/3) = 1 / 2, and sin(π/3) = √3 / 2. Therefore,

[tex]\:\frac{3\left(\cos \left(\frac{\pi }{6}\right)+i\sin \left(\frac{\pi }{6}\right)\right)}{4\left(\cos \left(\frac{\pi }{3}\right)+i\sin \left(\frac{\pi }{3}\right)\right)}:\quad \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{8}-i\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{8}-i\frac{3}{8} = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{8}-\frac{3}{8}i[/tex]

Our solution for the second attachment will be option c.

sales exceed 7700 units at any time during the month.

O May through September

O March through August

O March through September

O April through August

O August through April

Answers

Answer:

March through August

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, in order to solve this problem, we must start by building an equation to solve. The original equation was:

[tex]S=56.9-40.7cos (\frac{\pi}{6}t)[/tex]

and we need to figure out the months when the sales exceed 7700 units. Since the equation is given in hundreds of units, we need to divide those 7700 units into one hundred to get 77 hundred units. So we can go ahead and substitute that value in the equation:

[tex]77=56.9-40.7cos (\frac{\pi}{6}t)[/tex]

if you wish you can rewrite the equation so the variable is on the left side of it but it's up to you. So you get:

[tex]56.9-40.7cos (\frac{\pi}{6}t)=77[/tex]

and now we solve for t

[tex]-40.7cos (\frac{\pi}{6}t)=77-56.9[/tex]

[tex]-40.7cos (\frac{\pi}{6}t)=20.1[/tex]

[tex]cos (\frac{\pi}{6}t)=\frac{20.1}{-40.7}[/tex]

[tex]cos (\frac{\pi}{6}t)=-0.4938[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\pi}{6}t=cos^{-1}(-0.4938)[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\pi}{6}t=2.087[/tex]

[tex]t=\frac{2.087(6)}{\pi}[/tex]

[tex]t=3.98 months[/tex]

but there is a second answer to this problem. Notice that the function cos can be 2.87 at [tex]2\pi-2.087=4.1962 rad[/tex] as well, so we repeat the process:

[tex]\frac{\pi}{6}t=4.1962[/tex]

[tex]t=\frac{4.1962(6)}{\pi}[/tex]

[tex]t=8.014 months[/tex]

So now we need to determine on which period of times the number of items sold exceed 77 hundred units so we build different intervals for us to test:

(1,3.98)  (3.98,8.014) and (8,014, 13)

and find a test value for each of the intervals and test it.

(1,3.98) t=2

[tex]S=56.9-40.7cos (\frac{\pi}{6}(2))[/tex]

S=36.55

this is less than 77 so this is not our answer.

(3.98,8.014) t=5

[tex]S=56.9-40.7cos (\frac{\pi}{6}(5))[/tex]

S=92.15

this is more than 77 so this is our answer.

(8.014,13) t=10

[tex]S=56.9-40.7cos (\frac{\pi}{6}(10))[/tex]

S=36.55

this is less than 77 so this is not our answer.

so, since our answer is the interval (3.98,8.014)

this means that between the months of march and august we will be sellin more than 7700 units.

Answers

Answer:

A. x < -3 or x > -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start with the equation -4x + 60 < 72.

-4x + 60 < 72

First using the order of operations, subtract 60 from both sides.

-4x + 60 - 60 < 72 - 60

- 4x < 12

Next we want to divide -4 from both sides to isolate the variable.

-4x/-4 < 12/-4

x > -3

When you divide a negative number, always make sure the change the sign.

Solve the next equation, 14x + 11 < -31, the same way we solved the last.

14x + 11 < -31

Subtract 11 from both sides.

14x + 11 - 11 < -31 -11

14x < -42

Divide 14 from both sides.

14x/14 < -42/14

x < -3

The equations have different signs.
