8. Jess walked for 45 minutes at 3 km/h and then ran for half an hour at x km/h. At the end
of that time she was 6 km from the starting point. Find the value of x.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 7.5 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

• First calculate the distance covered by walking at 3 km/h for 45 minutes ( 0.75 h):

distance = speed × time

              = 3 × 0.75

              = 2.25 km

• Therefore, she covered 2.25 km of the total journey by walking. Since she was 6 km from the starting point at the end of the entire journey, we can calculate the distance remaining, which she had to run:

distance she had to run = 6 - 2.25

                                        = 3.75 km

• Now we can calculate the speed of the 30 minute (0.5 h) run:

speed = distance ÷ time

           = 3.75 ÷ 0.5

           = 7.5 km/h    

This means that she ran at 7.5 km/h for half an hour.

x = 7.5

Find the x-intercepts of the parabola with vertex (5,-12) and y-interdept (0,63). Write your answer in this form: (x1,y1), (x2,V2). If necessary, round to the nearest hundredth.

Answers

The x-intercepts of the parabola are (3, 0) and (7,0)

How to determine the x-intercept?

The given parameters are:

Vertex (h, k) = (5, -12)

Point (x, y) = (0, 63)

The equation of a parabola is:

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

Substitute (h, k) = (5, -12)

y = a(x - 5)^2 - 12

Substitute (x, y) = (0, 63)

63 = a(0 - 5)^2 - 12

Evaluate

63 = 25a - 12

Add 12 to both sides

25a = 75

Divide by 26

a = 3

Substitute a = 3 in y = a(x - 5)^2 - 12

y = 3(x - 5)^2 - 12

Set y to 0 to determine the x-intercepts

0 = 3(x - 5)^2 - 12

Add 12 to both sides

3(x - 5)^2 = 12

Divide by 3

(x - 5)^2 = 4

Take the square root of both sides

[tex]x - 5 = \pm 2[/tex]

Add 5 to both sides

[tex]x = 5 \pm 2[/tex]

Expand

x = (5 - 2, 5 + 2)

Evaluate

x = (3, 7)

Hence, the x-intercepts of the parabola are (3, 0) and (7,0)

Based on the scatter plot on perishable and nonperishable items purchased by customers, the following is true:

Purchased 5 nonperishable items - 3 people.Median number of perishable items = 7 perishable items. People bought same number of perishable and nonperishable = 2 people. What does the scatterplot show?

Looking at the y-axis which shows the number of nonperishable items bought, the number of dots we find at 5 is 3 which means 3 people bought 5 nonperishable items.

The median of perishable items requires that we order the perishable items bought:

2, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11

The median is 7 perishable items.

Answers

Answer:

6 seconds after it is launched

Step-by-step explanation:

h(t) = -4t² + 16t + 48

The balloon is at ground level when it lands.

When it is launched, t = 0, and h(0) = 48

When it lands, at time t, h(t) = 0.

-4t² + 16t + 48 = 0

t² - 4t - 12 = 0

(t - 6)(t + 2) = 0

t = 6 or t = -2

The balloon will hit the ground 6 seconds after it is launched.

Yup it’s 6 seconds!!

Help! How would I solve this trig identity?

Answers

Using simpler trigonometric identities, the given identity was proven below.

How to solve the trigonometric identity?

Remember that:

[tex]sec(x) = \frac{1}{cos(x)} \\\\tan(x) = \frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}[/tex]

Then the identity can be rewritten as:

[tex]sec^4(x) - sen^2(x) = tan^4(x) + tan^2(x)\\\\\frac{1}{cos^4(x)} - \frac{1}{cos^2(x)} = \frac{sin^4(x)}{cos^4(x)} + \frac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)} \\\\[/tex]

Now we can multiply both sides by cos⁴(x) to get:

[tex]\frac{1}{cos^4(x)} - \frac{1}{cos^2(x)} = \frac{sin^4(x)}{cos^4(x)} + \frac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)} \\\\\\\\cos^4(x)*(\frac{1}{cos^4(x)} - \frac{1}{cos^2(x)}) = cos^4(x)*( \frac{sin^4(x)}{cos^4(x)} + \frac{sin^2(x)}{cos^2(x)})\\\\1 - cos^2(x) = sin^4(x) + cos^2(x)*sin^2(x)\\\\1 - cos^2(x) = sin^2(x)*sin^2(x) + cos^2(x)*sin^2(x)[/tex]

Now we can use the identity:

sin²(x) + cos²(x) = 1

[tex]1 - cos^2(x) = sin^2(x)*(sin^2(x) + cos^2(x)) = sin^2(x)\\\\1 = sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1[/tex]

Find the sum.
(y+5) + (3y-9)

Answers

Eliminate parenthesis: Y+5+3y-9
Subtract the numbers: Y-4+3y
Combine like terms: y-4+3y
4y-4
Common factor: (y+5)+(3y-9)=4(y-1)

Solution: 4(y-1)

The sum is given by -  f(y) = 4(y -1).

We have the following expression -

(y + 5) + (3y - 9)

We have to evaluate the above sum.

Add the following expressions - f(x) = 3x + 10  and  g(x) = 6 - x.

Now -

f(x) + g(x) = 3x + 9 - (6 - x)  

f(x) + g(x) = 3x + 10 - 6 + x

f(x) + g(x) =  4x + 4

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

According to the question, we have -

(y + 5) + (3y - 9)

Assume that the sum is represented by the function f(y).

Solving, we get -

f(y) = y + 5 + 3y - 9

f(y) = y + 3y + 5 - 9

f(y) = 4y - 4

f(y) = 4(y - 1)

Hence, the sum is given by -  f(y) = 4(y -1).

Simplify: 2(6+1)-|-10|=3x2

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{2\sqrt3}{3} = x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

So you want to use PEMDAS to do the equation in order. This means that you'll start by adding 6 and 1 and then multiplying that value by 2

[tex]2(7)-|-10| = 3x^2[/tex]

[tex]14-|-10|=3x^2[/tex]

The absolute value can be defined as the "distance" from 0 which is going to be positive. You can think of it as the positive value of a number so if you have |-b| it will become b, and even if it's already positive, it will remain positive. so the absolute value of -10 is 10 but then it becomes negative again because of the subtraction

[tex]14-10=3x^2[/tex]

[tex]4=3x^2[/tex]

Now you want to solve for x by dividing both sides by 3 and taking the square root of both sides to isolate x

[tex]\frac{4}{3} = x^2[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{\frac{4}{3}}=x[/tex]

You can distribute the square root across division since [tex](\frac{a}{b})^c = \frac{a^c}{b^c}[/tex] and the square root can be defined as [tex]x^{0.5}[/tex] since [tex]a^b * a^c = a^{b+c}[/tex] because if you spread it out it's really just [tex](a * a * a ... b\ amount \ of \ times) * (a * a * a ... c\ amount\ of\ times)[/tex] which can be simplified to (a * a * a... (b + c) amount of times) if that makes any sense. Anyways using this property you'll get [tex]a^{0.50} * a^{0.50} = a^{0.50 + 0.50} = a^1 = a[/tex]. If you look at it you'll notice a^0.50 multiplied by it self gives you a... sounds like the square root, which it is. So now the equation becomes

[tex]\frac{\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{3}}=x[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2}{\sqrt3}[/tex]

Now if you look at the equation you'll notice there's a radical in the denominator, which can be rationalized by multiplying by sqrt(3)\sqrt(3) which is 1 except it makes the denominator 3 and keeps the original value

[tex]\frac{2}{\sqrt3} * \frac{\sqrt3}{\sqrt3}=x\\\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3} = x[/tex]

First add all of the other percentages together. (70%), 100%-70%=30%. 30% of 1840 = 552.

Answer:

H.  552

Step-by-step explanation:

Circle graph information:

Milk and eggs = x%Fruits and vegetables = 38%Cereals = 10%Meat and fish = 10%Sugar = 8%Fats and oils = 4%

Total consumption = 1840 pounds per person

First, calculate the percentage of milk and eggs (the value of x).

Total percentages = 100%

⇒ x + 38 + 10 + 10 + 8 + 4 = 100

⇒ x + 70 = 100

⇒ x = 30

Therefore, 30% of food consumption is milk and eggs.

To calculate the number of pounds of milk and eggs the average American consumes each year, simply find 30% of the total consumption:

= 30% of 1840

= 30% × 1840

[tex]=\sf \dfrac{30}{100} \times 1840[/tex]

Which is the equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through (−2, 15) and is perpendicular to 2x + 3y = 4?
y=−32x+18

y=32x−12

y=23x+18

y=32x+18

Answers

Answer:

y=3/2x + 18

Step-by-step explanation:

So when two lines are perpendicular, that simple means the slope are reciprocals, and the signs are opposite. So for example if one equation had a slope of [tex]\frac{a}{b}[/tex], the equation that is perpendicular, would have a slope of [tex]-\frac{b}{a}[/tex]. So the first step would be to find the slope of 2x+3y=4. To find the slope we can convert it into slope-intercept form which is y=mx+b where m is the slope, and this is done by isolating y, as you can see the y is alone in the slope-intercept form.

Original equation:

2x + 3y = 4

subtract 2x from both equations:

3y = -2x + 4

Divide both sides by 3

y = -2/3x + 4/3

The y-intercept doesn't really matter in this case, what really matters is the slope, and the slope is the coefficient of x, since as x increases by 1, it will increase by the amount of the coefficient, because the slope is rise/run and since the run is 1, if you increase x by 1, the run is the slope, which is the coefficient. The slope in this case is -2/3. So the reciprocal of the slope is 3/2 (notice how the sign is the opposite as well). Now we have the equation

y=3/2x + b

To find the y-intercept, you simply use the point that was given (-2, 15). Plug in -2 as x, and 15 as y to find the value of b

Original equation

y=3/2x + b

Plug in known values:

15 = 3/2(-2) + b

Multiply the fraction:

15 = -6/2 + b

Simplify the fraction:

15 = -3 + b

Add 3 to both sides

18 = b

This gives you the equation

y=3/2x + 18
