Doug can paint the living room in 4 hours. it would take elaine 6 hours to paint the same room. how long would it take doug and elaine, working together, to paint the living room?

Answers

Answer 1
2.4 hours

You can get this by setting up the equation:

x/4 + x/6 = 1

Where x is equal to the amount of hours spent working. In this equation x/4 would be Doug. In 4 hours he would paint on room. x/6 would be Elaine. When you add them together using common denominators, you can find x.

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?

Answers

let the rate in still water be x and rate of the current be y.
speed down the river is:
speed=distance/time
speed=14/2=7 mi/h

speed up the river is:
speed=(14)/(3.5)=4 mi/hr
thus total speed downstream and upstream will be:
x+y=7...i
x-y=4.......ii
adding the above equations i and ii we get:
2x=11
x=5.5 mi/hr
thus
y=5-5.5=1.5 mi/r
thus the speed in still waters is 5.5 mi/hr
speed of current is 1.5 mi/hr

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.

All ticket for a concert are the same price.

Amy and dan pay £63 altogether for some tickets.
Amy pays 24.50 for 7 tickets.

How many tickets does Dan buy?

Answers

we know that
if Amy pays 24.50 for 7 tickets
so
cost each ticket is=24.50/7-----> £3.50

find the total number of tickets=£63/£3.50-----> 18 ticket
let 
x-----> amount of tickets purchased by Dan
18=7+x -----> x=18-7-----> x=11

the answer is
11

To determine how many tickets Dan bought, we calculate the price per ticket from Amy's purchase as £3.50 each. Then we subtract Amy's payment from the total to find Dan's payment of £38.50, and finally, we divide Dan's payment by the price per ticket to find that Dan bought 11 tickets.

The question involves finding out how many tickets Dan bought for a concert, using the total amount paid by both Amy and Dan and the price Amy paid for her tickets.

First, we need to find out the price per ticket from the information provided about Amy's purchase:

Amy pays £24.50 for 7 tickets.

To find the price per ticket, we divide £24.50 by 7:

Price per ticket = £24.50 / 7 = £3.50

Next, we use the total amount paid to find out how much Dan spent:

Total amount paid by Amy and Dan = £63

Amount paid by Amy = £24.50

So, the amount paid by Dan = Total amount - Amount paid by Amy

Amount paid by Dan = £63 - £24.50 = £38.50

To find out how many tickets Dan bought, we divide the amount he paid by the price per ticket:

Number of tickets Dan bought = £38.50 / £3.50

Number of tickets Dan bought = 11 tickets

During the first part of a​ trip, a canoeist travels 96 miles at a certain speed. the canoeist travels 15 miles on the second part of the trip at a speed 5 mph slower. the total time for the trip is 4 hrs. what was the speed on each part of the​ trip?

Answers

This problem is a problem using 
d = r * t
First part of the trip
d = 96 miles
r = ??
t = ??

Second part of the trip
d = 15 miles
r = r - 5
t = 4 - t

Solve for r first.
96/r + 15/(r - 5) = 4 hours                multiply through by r and r - 5
96(r - 5) + 15r  = 4*(r - 5)(r)             Remove the brackets on the left
96r - 480 + 15r = 4*r*(r - 5)             Collect like terms on the left.
111r - 480 = 4r(r - 5)                        Remove the brackets on the right.
111r - 480 = 4r^2 - 20r                     Bring the left side over to the right side.
0 = 4r^2 - 20r - 111r + 480               Collect like terms.
0 = 4r^2 - 131r + 480

The only way I could do this was to use the quadratic equation.

[tex]\text{x = }\dfrac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac } }{2a} [/tex]

a = 4

b = - 131

c = 480

[tex]\text{x = }\dfrac{ -(-131) \pm \sqrt{(-131)^{2} - 4*4*480 } }{2*4} [/tex]
[tex]\text{x = }\dfrac{ 131 \pm \sqrt{(17161) - 7680 } }{8} [/tex]
[tex]\text{x = }\dfrac{ 131 \pm \sqrt{9481 } }{8} [/tex]
[tex]\text{x = }\dfrac{ 131 \pm 97.37  }{8} [/tex]

x = (131 + 97.38)/8
x = 28.55
x = (131 - 97.37)/8
x = 4.20

4.2 isn't going to work because the slower speed has to be larger than 5, otherwise you will get a negative speed (as this solution will give), so 4.20 is an extraneous solution.

r = 28.55 for the first  part of the trip and
r = 23.55 for the second part of the trip.

Check.
Let's see if the times add up to 4
d/r = t
96/28.55 = 3.36
15/22.75 = 0.64

The times do = 4, so the rates are correct.

Answers
r1 = 28.55 for the 96 mile trip.
r2 = 23.55 for the 15 mile trip.

First, we are going to find if the function is odd or even. Remember that we can determine if a function is odd of even from its graph by looking at its ends; if both ends go to the same the direction, the function is even. If both ends go to opposite directions, the function is odd. At both ends, the graph of our function go towards the same direction, minus infinity, so we can conclude that our function is even.

Next, we are going to find the possible degree of our function. Remember that the possible degree of a function is the number of x-intercepts.
We can infer from our graph that the function intercepts the x-axis at least 6 times.

We can conclude that the correct answer is: even degrees of 6 or greater.

Iq test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. find the x-score that corresponds to a z-score of 2.33.

Answers

Answer: 134.95 to be exact

you multiply the zscore with the standard deviation and add the mean

The formula for calculating the z-score:

z = (x - μ) / σ
Where

μ - mean

σ = standard deviation

The x-score that corresponds to a z-score of 2.33 is 134.95.

What is a mean?

It is the average value of the set given.

It is calculated as:

Mean = Sum of all the values of the set given / Number of values in the set

We have,

Iq test scores are normally distributed:

Mean = 100

Standard deviation = 15
z-score = 2.33

The formula for calculating the z-score:

z = (x - μ) / σ

Where

μ - mean

σ = standard deviation

Now,

2.33 = (x - 100) / 15

Multiply 15 on both sides.

2.33 x 15 = x - 100

34.95 = x - 100

Add 100 on both sides.

34.95 + 100 = x

x = 134.95

Thus,

The x-score that corresponds to a z-score of 2.33 is 134.95.

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 .

Answers

For this case we have a function of the form:
 y = A * (b) ^ t
 Where,
 A: initial amount
 b: decrease rate
 t: time
 Substituting values we have:
 y = 200 * (0.946) ^ t
 Answer:
 
An exponential function showing the relationship between and and is:
 
y = 200 * (0.946) ^ 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.

∴ OB = OC + CB = 21 + 14 = 35
Line AB is tangent to circle O at A
∴ AB is perpendicular to AO
∴ Δ OAB is a right triangle at A
Applying Pythagorean theorem

A spherical gas tank has a 10 foot diameter when filled with propane it provides 358,000,000 BTUs how many BTUs does 1 cubic foot of propane yield? Round to the nearest thousand

Answers

Volume of the spherical tank will be given by:
V=4/3πr³
thus the volume of the tank will be:
V=4/3×π×(10/2)³=523.59877756~523.6 ft³
Given that 523.6 ft³ can hold 358,000,000 BTUs of propane, the amount that 1 ft³ will be given by:
[total amount]/[total volume]
=358,000,000/523.6
=683,728.0367 BTUs/ft³
=684,000 BTUs/ft³ (in thousand)

The number of BTUs does 1 cubic foot of propane yield is 684,000 BTUs/ft³ (in thousand)

Calculation of the number of BTUs:

Since we know that

The volume of the spherical tank is

[tex]V=4\div 3\pi r^3[/tex]

Now the volume of the tank will be:

[tex]V=4\div 3\times \pi \times (10/2)^3[/tex]

Final answer:

To find the distance from the plateau's base, use the tangent function with the given height and angle of elevation.

Explanation:

We can use trigonometry to determine the distance from the base of the plateau. The vertical height of the table (opposite side) is 70 m, and the elevation angle to the top of the plateau (theta) is 60 degrees. We can use the tangent function to find the distance (adjacent side) from the table's base: tan(theta) = opposite/contiguous. Solving for the space, we get: adjacent = contrasting/tan(theta). Plugging in the values, the distance from the plateau's base is approximately 40 m.
