Pratap Puri rowed 14 miles down a river in 2 hours, but the return trip took him 3 and one half hours. Find the rate Pratap can row in still water and find the rate of the current. Let x equals rate Pratap can row in still water and y equals rate of the current. What is the rate that Pratap rows in still water?
Final answer:
By establishing equations based on Pratap's rowing times upstream and downstream, we find that Pratap's rowing rate in still water is 5.5 miles per hour.
Explanation:
Finding Pratap's Rowing Rate in Still Water and the Current Rate
To calculate Pratap Puri's rowing rate in still water and the rate of the current, we need to set up two equations based on the information provided. We know that Pratap rowed 14 miles down a river in 2 hours and the return trip took 3 and a half hours.
Step-by-Step Solution
Let x be the rate at which Pratap can row in still water, and y be the rate of the current.
The downstream speed (with the current) is x + y, and the upstream speed (against the current) is x - y.
Using the formula distance = rate × time, for the downstream trip we have 14 = (x + y) × 2, and for the upstream trip 14 = (x - y) × 3.5.
Simplifying both equations gives us: 7 = x + y and 4 = x - y.
To find x, add the two equations to eliminate y, yielding 11 = 2x, or x = 5.5.
Therefore, Pratap's rowing rate in still water is 5.5 miles per hour.

There was a sample of 200 milligrams of a radioactive substance to start a study. since then, the sample has decayed by 5.4% each year. let t be the number of years since the start of the study. let y be the mass of the sample in milligrams. write an exponential function showing the relationship between y and t .
The exponential function representing the relationship between the mass y of a radioactive sample in milligrams and t years since the start of the study is y = 200(1 - 0.054)^t.
The student is given a starting mass of a radioactive substance and the percentage of the mass that decays each year. To write an exponential function that models this situation, we consider the initial mass, which is 200 milligrams, and the decay rate, which is 5.4% per year. The relationship between the mass y and the time t in years can be represented by the formula y = 200(1 - 0.054)^t.
Using an exponential decay model, we understand that the amount of substance decreases by a certain percentage each year. To account for this, we raise the base (1 - 0.054) to the power of t, representing the number of years, which gives us the factor by which the original mass has reduced.

A line passes through the points (-6,4) and (-2,2). Which is the equation of the line?
Answer:
The equation of the line is [tex]y=\frac{-1}{2}x+1[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The equation of the line that passes through two points can be expresed as:
[tex]\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] (Eq.1)
where [tex]x_{1}[/tex], [tex]x_{2}[/tex], [tex]y_{1}[/tex] and [tex]y_{2}[/tex] are the given points.
2. Name the points:
[tex]x_{1}[/tex]=-6
[tex]x_{2}[/tex]=-2
[tex]y_{1}[/tex]=4
[tex]y_{2}[/tex]=2
3. Replace the points in the Eq.1:
[tex]\frac{y-4}{x-(-6)}=\frac{2-4}{-2-(-6)}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{y-4}{x+6}=\frac{2-4}{-2+6}[/tex]

Part A. We have two equations: y = 4-x and y = 8-x^-1
Given two simultaneous equations that are both to be true, then the solution is the points where the lines cross. The intersection is where the two equations are equal. Therefore the solution that works for both equations is when
4-x = 8-x^-1
This is where the two graphs will cross and that is the common point that satisfies both equations.

What is the probability of drawing a red card and then spinning a 1?
Answer: [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given picture, the total number of cards = 5
The number of red card = 2
Thus, the probability of drawing a red card P(red)=[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]
Also, total number of digits on spinner = 8
Number of 1's=4
Thus, the probability of spinning a 1 P( spinning 1)=[tex]\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Since both the events of drawing a red card and spinning a 1 are independent events, therefore, the probability of drawing a red card and then spinning a 1=[tex]\text{ P(red)}\times\text{P( spinning 1)}=\frac{2}{5}\times\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

What is the 12th term of the sequence?
3, −9, 27, −81, 243, ...
The 12th term of the sequence 3, -9, 27, -81, 243, ... is 177,147.
Explanation:The given sequence is: 3, -9, 27, -81, 243, ...
To find the 12th term, we can observe that the sequence alternates between positive and negative, and each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by -3. Starting with 3 as the first term, we can find the 12th term using the formula:
an = a1 * (-3)n-1
Substituting the values, we have:
a12 = 3 * (-3)12-1a12 = 3 * (-3)11a12 = 3 * (-32)5a12 = 3 * 95a12 = 3 * 59049a12 = 177,147Final answer:
The 12th term of the geometric sequence is -531441, found by using the formula for the nth term of a geometric series with a first term of 3 and a common ratio of -3.
Explanation:
The sequence given is geometric with each term being multiplied by -3 to obtain the next term. To find the 12th term of the sequence, we can use the formula for the nth term of a geometric sequence: Tn = a * rn-1, where a is the first term, r is the common ratio, and n is the term number.
For the given sequence, the first term a is 3 and the common ratio r is -3. The 12th term is found by placing these values into the formula:
T12 = 3 * (-3)12-1
T12 = 3 * (-3)11
T12 = 3 * (-177147)
T12 = -531441
Therefore, the 12th term of the sequence is -531441.

1. For which angle is secant undefined?
a. 30°
b. 45°
c. 180°
d. 270°
2. Which of the following is csc(-166°) equal to?
a. csc(14°)
b. -csc(14°)
c. -csc(-14°)
d. csc(166°)
1. The secant is defined as the inverse function of co-secant or cos function
Hence when the cosine is 0, the secant is 1/0 which is undefined. So, when cosine is 0, secant is undefined
Cos 30 = [tex] \sqrt{3} /2 [/tex]
Cos 45 = [tex] 1/\sqrt{2} [/tex]
Cos 180 = -1
cos 270 =0
Since cos 270 is 0, secant of 270 is undefined
Answer is d: 270
2. cosec (-x) = - cosec (180 -x)
We have cosec(-166) = - cosec (180-14) = -cosec (14)
Alternatively we can confirm this as csc (-166) = -4.133565 and -csc(14) = -4.133565; Hence, we can reconfirm that the answer arrived at is right
Therefore csc (-166) = -csc(14) (Option B) is the right answer

Randall bought a bond with a face value of $6000 and a coupon rate of 7.25%. the bond will mature in 5 years. how much interest will he receive semiannually?
Answer:
Face value of bond = $ 6000
Rate of interest =7.25 %
The Bond will mature in 5 years.
If the interest is semiannually , the rate of interest will reduce to half.
So, new rate of interest will be [tex]\frac{7.25}{2}=3.625[/tex]
Formula for simple interest
[tex]=\frac{\text{Principal}\times Rate \times time}{100}[/tex]
Interest after 6 months will be
[tex]=\frac{6000 \times 3.625 \times 1}{100}\\\\=60 \times 3.625\\\\=217.5[/tex]
So, interest that Randall will receive after six months = $ 217.50

Brian invests $10,000 in an account earning 4% interest, compounded annually for 10 years. Five years after Brian's initial investment, Chris invests $10,000 in an account earning 7% interest, compounded annually for 5 years. Given that no additional deposits are made, compare the balances of the two accounts after the interest period ends for each account. (round to the nearest dollar)
Compound interest formula is [tex]A = P(1+r)^t[/tex]
Where P is the principal amount
r is the rate of interest
t is number of years
Brian invests $10,000 in an account earning 4% interest, compounded annually for 10 years
P = 10,000 , r= 4% = 0.04 , t =10
Plug in all the values
[tex]A = 10000(1+0.04)^{10}[/tex] = 14,802.44
Chris invests $10,000 in an account earning 7% interest, compounded annually for 5 years.
P = 10,000 , r= 7% = 0.07 , t =5
Plug in all the values
[tex]A = 10000(1+0.07)^5[/tex] = 14,025.52
Brian balance after the interest period = $ 14,802.44
Chris balance after the interest period = $ 14,025.52
Balance in Brian's account is more than Chris account
