Alex biked a 48-mile trail in 4 hours. For the first half of the time, he biked twice as fast as he did the second half of the time. What speed did Alex bike the first half?

Answers

Answer 1

Alex's speed in the first half of the time is 12 miles per hour

How t find the speed of biking

Information from the problem include:

For the first half of the time, Alex biked a 48-mile trail in 4 hours.

he biked twice as fast as he did the second half of the time.

Average speed is calculated using the ratio of distance to time spent

this is represented by the formula

= distance / time

The speed for the first half is  solved as below

= 48 mile / 4 hours

= 12 mile / hours

= 12 mph

speed for the first half is 12 mph

write an Equation for the angle relationship shown in the figure and solve for x. Find the measures of RQS and TQU?

Answers

Answer:

∠RQS = 21°

∠TQU = 28°

Step-by-step explanation:

90° + 221° + 3x + 4x = 360°

combine like terms:

7x + 311° = 360°

subtract 311° from each side of the equation:

7x = 49°

divide both sides by 7:

x = 7°

∠RQS = 3x = 3(7°) = 21°

∠TQU = 4x = 4(7°) = 28°

A farmer is building a fence to enclose a rectangular area against an existing wall. Three of the sides will require fencing and the fourth side is a wall that already exists. If the farmer has 148 feet of fencing, what is the largest area the farmer can enclose?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several things we need to know to solve this: the perimeter formula of a rectangle, the area formula of a rectangle, and how to complete the square to find the answer. First of all, if the farmer has 148 feet of fencing to enclose 3 sides of a rectangle, the perimeter formula we need will include only 3 sides, the 2 widths and the 1 length:

P = 2w + l; solving for l and filling in our length of fencing gives us:

l = 148 - 2w

The area then for this will be:

A = (148 - 2w)(w) which is the same thing as length times width (area for a rectangle). Multiplying that out gives us:

[tex]A=148w-2w^2[/tex]. Let's rearrange that and put it into descending order so we can complete the square on it:

[tex]A=-2w^2+148w[/tex]

The reason we want to complete the square is because the answer that results from that will give us the dimensions of the rectangle (the width and the length) and also the area. Completing the square maximizes (or minimizes) area.

To complete the square, first factor out the -2 since the leading coefficient when you complete the square has to be a +1. When we do that we get:

[tex]A=-2(w^2-74w)[/tex]. Set it equal to 0 so we can factor it:

[tex]-2(w^2-74w)=0[/tex]

The idea now is to take half the linear term (the term stuck to the w), divide it in half, then square that number. Our linear term is 74. Half of 74 is 37, and 37 squared is 1369. So we add 1369 to both sides, the left side first:

[tex]-2(w^2-74w+1369)=...[/tex]

But we didn't just add in 1369. There's a -2 out front there that refuses to be ignored. It's a multiplier. What we ACTUALLY added in was -2 times 1369 which is -2738; therefore:

[tex]-2(w^w-74w+1369)=-2738[/tex]

The left side can be simplified down to a perfect square binomial:

[tex]-2(w-37)^2=-2738[/tex]

Now we'll add over the -2738:

[tex]-2(w-37)^2+2738=y[/tex] and from there determine our answer. The (w-37) term is the width of the rectangle; therefore, the length is 148 - 2(37) which is 74; the total area if the 2738. Completing the square gives us the vertex form of the parabola; the vertex is (37, 2738) where 37 is the width of the rectangle and 2738 is the max area.

Answer:

Y ≈ 59.0°

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Cosine rule

cosY = [tex]\frac{x^2+z^2-y^2}{2xz}[/tex]

with x = 22, y = 20, z = 18

cosY = [tex]\frac{22^2+18^2-20^2}{2(22)(18)}[/tex]

        = [tex]\frac{484+324-400}{792}[/tex]

        = [tex]\frac{408}{792}[/tex] , then

Consider this equation.
c = ax – bx
Joseph claims that if a, b, and c are non-negative integers, then the equation has exactly one solution for x. Select all cases that show Joseph’s claim is incorrect.
A. a – b = 1, c ≠ 1
B. a = b, c = 0
C. a ≠ b, c = 0
D. a – b = 1, c = 0
E. a = b, c ≠ 0

Answers

Answer:

B.a=b, c≠0

C.a=b, c=0

D.a-b=1, c≠1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation given is c = ax - bx. We can factor the right-hand side to obtain an equivalent equation which is c = (a-b)x

Let’s explore each answer choice given. We are looking for cases where there is no one solution for the equation.

A

a-b = 1 so the right-hand side becomes 1x and we have x=c. Since c is 0 we have one solution that is x=0

B

a=b so a-b =0 and the equation becomes 0=c but the answer choice says c does not equal zero. So in this case there is no solution. This is a correct answer to the problem.

C

This is the same as choice B but since C =0 both sides of the equation equal zero. We get 0=0 but notice that this is true no matter what the value of x is so this equation is called identity and any value of x will do so there isn’t one solution but rather infinitely many. This is another right answer.

D

Here a-b=1 so we end up with x = c and since c doesn’t equal one any value of x except 1 is a solution so there isn’t one solution but infinitely many. This too is an answer to the question.

E

Since a doesn’t equal b and since c = 0 we have (a-b)x = 0 so. Either a-b is zero but since a and b are different this can’t be or x is zero. This there is one solution: x=0.

From the above, the answer to the question is choices B, C, and D

Vector u has initial point at (3, 9) and terminal point at (–7, 5). Vector v has initial point at (1, –4) and terminal point at (6, –1).

Answers

Answer:

⟨-5, -1⟩

Step-by-step explanation:

Vector:

A vector is given by its endpoint subtracted by its initial point.

Vector u has initial point at (3, 9) and terminal point at (–7, 5)

Then

[tex]u = (-7, 5) - (3,9) = (-7 - 3, 5 - 9) = (-10,-4)[/tex]

Vector v has initial point at (1, –4) and terminal point at (6, –1).

Then

[tex]v = (6,-1) - (1,-4) = (6-1,-1-(-4)) = (5,3)[/tex]

What is u + v in component form?

[tex]u + v = (-10,-4) + (5,3) = (-10+5,-4+3) = (-5,-1)[/tex]

⟨-5, -1⟩ is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well 519 is the lowest objective so lets aim for that

we can make an equation

since base pay is 335 that doesn’t change

We can make x for hours

335+10.25x ≥ 519

SO it can exactly equal or be greater

You’d get 17.95121... and you can’’t work 17.95121 hours so it has to be 18.

An apartment complex stretched a string of decorative floats diagonally across a
rectangular pool. The width of the pool is 15 ft and the length of the pool is 20 ft.
What is the length of the a diagonal that the floats are stretched across ?

Answers

Answer:

25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the pythagorean theorem, where the width and length of the pool are the legs of the triangle.

Solve for c, the hypotenuse/diagonal

a² + b² = c²

15² + 20² = c²

225 + 400 = c²

625 = c²

25 = c

So, the length of the diagonal is 25 feet

In a 30-60-90 triangle, if the the side opposite 30 degrees has a length
of 5, what is the length of the hypotenuse?

Answers

Might Want to draw this and Its very long but Hope it helped :)

Answer:

The sides are all of the same length - let's say a. The angles are all the same too, and since the angles must add up to 180∘, we conclude that the three angles in the equilateral triangle are equal to 180∘/3=60∘.

Now we do something sneaky. We draw a line all the way down from the top vertex of the triangle to the midpoint of the bottom line.

This new line cuts our equilateral triangle in half. What are the angles in one half?

The angle at the bottom is 90∘.

One of the angles is the same as one of the angles in the original equilateral triangle, so it is 60∘.

So the third angle must be 180∘−90∘−60∘=30∘.

Now the hypotenuse of this new triangle is a, the side length of the equilateral triangle. And the length of the shortest side is a/2, since the line we drew cut the bottom line in half.
