Suppose you are driving to visit a friend in another state. you are driving 55 miles per hour. you must drive 440 miles total. if you have already driven 275 miles, how long will it take you to reach your destination? use h to represent the number of hours it will take to reach your destination. use the equation 55h + 275 = 440.

Answers

Answer 1

Final answer:

To calculate the remaining travel time, subtract the distance already driven from the total distance and divide the result by the speed. It will take 3 hours to reach the destination.

Explanation:

The question involves calculating the remaining travel time to reach a destination, given the current distance traveled, the total distance, and the traveling speed. We're provided with the equation 55h + 275 = 440, where h represents the number of hours needed to reach the destination.

Here's how we solve the equation step-by-step:

Subtract 275 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with h. This gives us 55h = 440 - 275.

Subtract 275 from 440 to get the remaining distance, which is 165 miles.

Divide the remaining distance by the speed to find the time in hours. So we have h = 165/55.

Calculate the division to find h = 3 hours.

Therefore, it will take 3 hours to reach the destination after having already driven 275 miles at a speed of 55 miles per hour.

An equation of a function y(t) is shown.
y(t)=−t²+14t−40

Which of the following statements are true about the graph of y(t) for
6≤t≤8 and WHY?

a. The value of y(t) increases over the interval 6≤t≤7

b. The value of y(t) increases over the interval 7≤t≤8

c. The average rate of change over the interval 6≤t≤8 is 0

d. The value of y(t) is constant over the interval 6≤t≤8

e. The average rate of changer over the interval 6≤t≤7 is the same as the average rate of change over the interval 7≤t≤8

Answers

From the given function, to explain the correct answer I will plot the graph for :
y(t)=-t^2+14t-40
thus the graph will be as shown in the figure:
From the graph we deduce that the correct statement is:
y'(t)=-2t+14=0
thus
t=7
thus
y(7)=0
thus the correct statement is:
c. The average rate of change over the interval 6≤t≤8 is 0

The graph of y(t) increases over the interval 6≤t≤7 because the derivative is positive. The average rate of change over the interval 6≤t≤8 is 0 due to symmetry about the vertex of the parabola at t=7. The rate of change over the intervals 6≤t≤7 and 7≤t≤8 are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.

Given the quadratic function y(t)=-t²+14t-40, we need to analyze its behavior over the interval 6≤t≤8. The first derivative y'(t) of the function, which represents the slope of the tangent line to the graph at any point t, is -2t + 14. To determine the intervals of increase and decrease, we can set the first derivative to zero to find the vertex of the parabola, yielding t=7, which means the function increases on the interval 6≤t≤7 and decreases on 7≤t≤8.

The average rate of change over an interval is calculated by taking the difference in the function values at the endpoints of the interval over the difference in t. For the interval 6≤t≤8, since this is a symmetrical interval around the vertex, the average rate of change is 0. Furthermore, it follows from symmetry that the average rate of change over the intervals 6≤t≤7 and 7≤t≤8 should be equal in magnitude but opposite in sign.

Considering the stated properties and analyzing the equation, we can conclude that:

The value of y(t) increases over the interval 6≤t≤7.The value of y(t) decreases over the interval 7≤t≤8, so statement b is false.The average rate of change over the interval 6≤t≤8 is 0, making statement c true.The value of y(t) is not constant over the interval 6≤t≤8.The average rates of change over both intervals 6≤t≤7 and 7≤t≤8 are not equal in value; they are opposite, making e false.

Answers

Answer:

(D) 120 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure drawn, we have

∠ABC=60°

And ∠OAB=∠OCB=90° (angles made by tangent on the circle is 90°)

Thus, ∠AOC+∠OCB∠CBA+∠OAB=360° (Angles sum property of quadrilateral)

[tex]x+90^{\circ}+90^{\circ}+60^{\circ}=360^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]x+240^{\circ}=360^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]x=120^{\circ}[/tex]

Therefore, the value of x is [tex]120^{\circ}[/tex]

Hence, option D is correct.

Answer: d. 120 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure drawn, we can see that

∠ABC=60°

Also we know that tangents are radius are perpendicular at the point of tangency

And ∠OAB=∠OCB=90° (∵ tangents are radius are perpendicular at the point of tangency)

Therefore, we have

[tex]\angle{AOC}+\angle{OCB}+\angle{ABC}+\angle{OAB}=360^{\circ}\text{ ( By Angle sum property of quadrilateral)}\\\\\Rightrarrow\ x+90^{\circ}+60^{\circ}+90^{\circ}=360^{\circ}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=360^{\circ}-240^{\circ}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=120^{\circ} [/tex]

Suppose a term of a geometric sequence is a4 = 121.5 and the common ratio is 3. write the formula for this sequence in the form an = a1 ⋅ rn−1. explain how you arrived at your answer.

Answers

The rule of the geometric sequence is [tex]a* r^{n-1} [/tex]
a ⇒⇒⇒ the first term
r ⇒⇒⇒ common ratio

Given: the fourth term (a4) = 121.5   and the common ratio = 3  and   n = 4

∴ [tex]121.5 = a* 3^{4-1} [/tex]
∴ a = 121.5/3³ = 121.5/27 = 4.5

So, The formula for this sequence will be    [tex]4.5 * 3^{n-1} [/tex]

Answer:

First I substituted 121.5 for an, 4 for n, and 3 for r in the general form. Then I solved to find a1 = 4.5. Finally, I substituted 4.5 for a1 and 3 for r in the general form to get an = 4.5 ⋅ 3n−1.

A drawer of loose socks contains 2 red socks, 2 green socks, and 6 white socks. Which best describes how to determine the probability of pulling out a white sock, not replacing it, and pulling out another white sock?

Answers

Well, before you draw out the first sock, you had 60% chance of getting a white sock since six of the ten socks are white! (6/10)

So, if you were to not replace the first drawn white sock, your percentage goes to 55.5556%! This is because you now have 5/9 socks remaining in the drawer being white!

Answer:

The probability that the first sock is white is 6/10 and that the second sock is white is 5/9, so the probability of choosing a pair of white socks is 30/90 = 1/3! Hope that helps.

The length of a rectangle is twice it’s width.The length is 12cm.Work out the area of the rectangle

Answers

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

As with all word problems we first have to convert it to an equation or equations.

L = length of the Rectangle and W = its width

So L = 2 * W

A = area of the rectangle which is 128 cm^2

So    A = L * W = 128 cm^2

substitute 2W for L from the 1st equation to give    A = 2 * W * W = 2 * W^2 = 128 cm^2

Thus    W^2 = 64 cm^2

finally  W = 8 cm  and therefore  L = 2 * W = 16 cm

The perimeter P = 2 * (L+W) = 2* (8cm + 16cm) = 2 * 24cm = 48 cm

Which of the following would triple the volume of the Egyptian square-based Pyramid below?

A. Multiply only the height by 3.

B. Add 3 to each dimension of the Pyramid.

C. Multiply every dimension of the Pyramid by 3.

D. Add 3 to the slant height.

Answers

Final answer:

To triple the volume of a square-based Egyptian pyramid, you must multiply every dimension of the pyramid by 3. This is because volume is proportional to all three dimensions of the shape, and changing just one dimension won't achieve the desired effect.

Explanation:

The question asks which action would triple the volume of a square-based Egyptian pyramid. The volume (V) of a pyramid is calculated using the formula V = (1/3) × base area × height. To triple the volume, you would need to triple the factor of each dimension because volume is a three-dimensional measurement, and changing one dimension alone would not be sufficient.

Option A suggests multiplying only the height by 3, but this would not triple the volume as the base area remains the same. Option B suggests adding 3 to each dimension, but adding a constant to linear dimensions does not maintain a proportional relationship to volume.

Option D suggests adding 3 to the slant height, which does not directly correlate to the volume. Therefore, option C is correct: Multiplying every dimension of the Pyramid by 3 would indeed triple the volume because changing each dimension equally maintains the proportion. This is similar to how if a block's dimensions were doubled (2L × 2L × 2L), the new volume would be 8 times the original (8L³).

A shipping box in the shape of a rectangular prism has a volume of 18x^3+5x^2-2x. what are three expressions that can represent possible dimensions of the shipping box?

Answers

Volume of the prism is given by:
Volume=length×width×height
but
V=18x^3+5x^2-2x
V=x(18x^2+5x-2)
V=x(9x-2)(2x+1)
Hence the possible expression for the dimensions of the shipping box is x by (9x-2) by (2x+1)

Answer:

[tex](x), (9x-2), (2x+1)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]18x^3+5x^2-2x=x(18x^2+5x-2)=x(9x-2)(2x+1)[/tex]
