Jan walks 2 miles at a constant rate of 3 miles per hour and then runs 1 mile at a constant rate of 8 miles per hour.

(a) What is Jan’s average speed for the entire trip?
(b) Is the average speed in part (a) equal to the average of Jan’s two speeds?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a).4.36 mph

(b) No

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Jan covered distance,s1 =2 miles

Speed of Jan, a=3 mph

s2=1 mile

b=8mph

a.

We have to find the Jan' s average speed for the entire trip.

Average speed =[tex]\frac{2ab}{a+b}[/tex]

Using the formula

Average speed=[tex]\frac{2(3)(8)}{3+8}=4.36mph[/tex]

b.

Average speed with two speed

Average of Jan’s two speeds

[tex]=\frac{a+b}{2}[/tex]

=[tex]\frac{3+8}{2}=5.5 mph[/tex]

[tex]4.36\neq 5.5[/tex]

Hence, the average speed in part (a) is not equal to the average of Jan’s two speeds.

Step-by-step explanation:

You add all the numbers:

40 + 75 + 80 + 80+ 81 + 84 + 88 + 90 + 92 + 100 + 100= 910

You divide that result by the total of numbers to add, in this case 11

910/11= 82.727272727273

To round any number, consider that if it is 5 or above it you can round it to the nearest hundred.

A package designer wants the hexagonal base of a hat box to have an area of

about 200 in.2. About how long is each side?

Answers

Answer:

About 9inches long

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a hexagon = 3√3/2 a²

a is the length of each side

Given

Area of the hexagon = 200in²

Substitute

200 = 3√3/2 a²

200×2 = 3√3 a²

400 = 3√3a²

a² = 400/3√3

a² = 400/5.196

a² = 76.982

a = √76.982

a = 8.774

Hence the length of each side is about 9inches long (to nearest inches)

(6,3) -> (-3/2x , 2/3y) -> (x + 6 , y - 4) -> (2/3x , -3/2y)
After these series of transformations, what will the final point be?

an american football field measures 100 yards long between the endzones,and is 53 1/3 yards wide.is the length of the diagonal across this field more or less than 120 yards . what is the value rounded to the nearest tenth of a yard

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, you need to use Pythagorean Theorum

a^2+b^2=c^2

100^2+53.33^2 = c^2

10,000+2844.0889=c^2

12844.1=c^2

square root

= 113 1/3 yards

So it is less than 120 yards

how many square feet of outdoor carpet will we need for this hole​

Answers

Answer:

42 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, who makes a hole in this shape?

Anyways,

You're going to want to split the figure into multiple different shapes. We already have a triangle, so I would split the remaining shape into a rectangle and trapezoid.

We can find the area of the triangle easily with the equation 1/2(bh)

So

1/2(2 · 3)

1/2(6)

3

So the triangle is 3 ft²

Now we can find the area of the rectangle.

The measurements will be 3 and 7. It's just base x height so it'll be 21 ft²

Finally the trapezoid.

Base 1: 6

Base 2: 3

Height: 4            (11-7)

Formula: 1/2h (b1 + b2)

1/2 · 4 (6+3)

2(9)

18 ft²

Now just add them together:

3+21+18=42

Hence, your answer is 42 ft²

What is f(3) if f(x) = - 4x+1 ?
A.-44
B.-11
C. 1/2
D. 13

Please help me! :/

Answers

Answer:

Here is the equation:

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

You need to find f(3). To do that, substitute all the x's with 3:

f(x)=4x+1 \rightarrow f(3)=4\times3 + 1f(x)=4x+1→f(3)=4×3+1

The first thing you need to do is multiply 4 by 3. Multiply:

4 \times 3 = 124×3=12

Here is your new equation:

f(3)=12+1f(3)=12+1

To get your answer, you need to add 12 and 1. Add:

12+1 = 1312+1=13

That means:

\bf f(3)=13f(3)=13

Solve for x: 7x + 3 =2x +13

Answers

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 3 = 2x + 13

Get all the x on the same side: 7x - 2x = 13 - 3

Subtract: 5x = 10

Divide both sides by 5 to get x = 2.

Plug the found value of x back in to check the answer: 7(2) + 3 = 2(2) + 13

Multiply: 14 + 3 = 4 + 13

Add: 17 = 17

This verifies that x = 2.

Are the two expressions in the equation 2b + 5 + 1b = 3b + 5 equal or equivalent? How do you know

Answers

Given:

The expression is

[tex]2b+5+1b=3b+5[/tex]

To find:

Whether the two expression in the equation are equal or equivalent.

Solution:

If two expression are exactly the same, then they are equal and if the two expressions are different but the after simplification both are same, then they are called equivalent expressions.

We have,

[tex]2b+5+1b=3b+5[/tex]

Taking LHS, we get

[tex]LHS=2b+5+1b[/tex]

On combining liker terms, we get

[tex]LHS=(2b+1b)+5[/tex]

[tex]LHS=3b+5[/tex]

[tex]LHS=RHS[/tex]

In the given equation both expression are different but after simplification LHS = RHS, therefore the expression are equivalent not equal.

Use the Law of Sines to write an expression that represents angle measure x.

Answers

Answer:

  x° = arcsin(15.5/26.9×sin(73°))

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of sines tells you the sine of an angle is proportional to the length of the opposite side:

  sin(x°)/15.5 = sin(73°)/26.9

  sin(x°) = (15.5/26.9)sin(73°) . . . . . multiply by 15.5

Using the inverse function, we can find x.

  x° = arcsin((15.5/26.9)sin(73°))
