Two ships depart from a port at the same time, one heading south and the other east. Seven hours later, they are separated by a distance of 170 miles. If the ship going south travels 70 miles more than the other, how many miles does each vessel travel?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 80 miles for the first ship, and 150 miles for the other.

Explanation:

First thing we should do is correspond each number with a letter:

Let x be the distance travel by ship heading east

Let y be the distance travel by ship heading south

y = x + 70 -- (1)

sqrt(x^2 + y^2) = 170 -- (2)

Subtract (1) into (2):

sqrt(x^2 + (x + 70)^2) = 170

x^2 + x^2 + 140x + 4900 = 28900

2x^2 + 140x - 24000 = 0

x ^2 + 70x - 12000 = 0

(x - 80)(x + 150) = 0

x = 80 or -150

Since the distance for the first ship can’t be negative, therefore, x = 80 -- (3)

Subtract (3) into (1), therefore, y = 150

Hope this helps! :)

Answers

Answer:

10) Supplementary; 11) Supplementary; 12) Complementary

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of supplementary angles equals 180° while sum of complementary angles equals 90°.

For question 10

x + 70° = 180° (sum of straight lines)

x = 180° - 70° = 110°

Hence, 70° and 110° are supplementary angles.

For question 11,

x + 85° = 180° (sum of straight lines)

x = 180° - 85° = 95°

Hence, 85° and 95° are supplementary angles.

For question 12,

x + 32° = 90° (sum of right angles)

x = 90° - 32° = 58°

Hence, 32° and 58° are complementary angles.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence has a common ratio of Three-halves and f(5) = 81. Which explicit formula represents the sequence? f(x) = 24(Three-halves) Superscript x minus 1 f(x) = 16(Three-halves) Superscript x minus 1 f(x) = 24(Three-halves) Superscript x f(x) = 16(Three-halves) Superscript x

Answers

Answer:

[tex]f(x)=16\, (\frac{3}{2} )^{x-1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the common ratio (3/2), all we need to find to define the geometric sequence, is its multiplicative factor ([tex]a[/tex]) that corresponds to the first term of the sequence - remember that all consecutive terms will be generated by multiplying this first value repeatedly by the common ratio (3/2) as shown below:  

[tex]f(1)=a\\f(2)=a\,*\,(\frac{3}{2} )\\f(3)=a\,*\,(\frac{3}{2} )^2\\f(4)=a\,*\,(\frac{3}{2} )^3\\f(5)=a\,*\,(\frac{3}{2} )^4[/tex]

Since we are given the information that [tex]f(5)=81[/tex] we can use this to find the value of the first term:

[tex]f(5)=\,a\,*\,(\frac{3}{2} )^4\\81=\,a\,*(\frac{81}{16} )\\a\,*\,81=\,81\.*\,16\\a\,=\,16[/tex]

Notice as well that the first term doesn't contain the common ratio, the second term contains the common ration (3/2) to the power one, the third one contains the common ratio to the power two, the fourth one contains it to the power three, and so forth. So the exponent at which the common ratio appears is always one unit less than the order (x) of the term in question. This concept helps us finalize the expression for the sequence's formula:

[tex]f(x)=16\,*\,(\frac{3}{2} )^{x-1}[/tex]

A piece of cloth costs 200$.if the piece was 5m longer, and the cost of each metre of clth was 2$ less, the cost of the piece would have remained unchanged. How long is the piece and what is its original number of persons.

Answers

Answer:

20 m long,

each piece of cloth for $10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x m be the length of the piece of cloth.

Original cloth:

Length = x m

Cost = $200

Cost per meter [tex]\dfrac{\$200}{x}[/tex]

Changed cloth:

Length = x + 5 m (5 m longer)

Cost = $200

Cost per meter [tex]\dfrac{\$200}{x}-\$2[/tex] (each metre of cloth was $2 less)

Hence,

[tex]\left(\dfrac{200}{x}-2\right)\cdot (x+5)=200[/tex]

Multiply the equation by x:

[tex](200-2x)(x+5)=200x\\ \\200x+1,000-2x^2-10x=200x\\ \\-2x^2-10x+1,000=0\\ \\x^2+5x-500=0\\ \\D=5^2-4\cdot(-500)=25+2,000=2,025\\ \\x_{1,2}=\dfrac{-5\pm\sqrt{2,025}}{2}=\dfrac{-5\pm 45}{2}=-25,\ 20[/tex]

The length cannot be negative, so x = 20 m, each metre for $10.

Answer:

The piece is 20 m long and costs $10 per meter

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost of the cloth in $ can be expressed as

C = xu

Where x is the length of the cloth in m, and u is the unit cost in $/m

The problem states that if the length was 5 meters more and the unit cost was $2 less, the cost would not change, that is

C = (x+5)(u-2)

Operating:

C = xu-2x+5u-10

Since C = xu, then

-2x+5u=10         [1]

We also know that

xu=200        [2]

Isolating u in [1] we get

[tex]u=\frac{10+2x}{5}[/tex]

Replacing into [2]

[tex]x\frac{10+2x}{5}=200[/tex]

Simplifying

[tex]10x+2x^2=1000 \\=> x^2+5x-500=0[/tex]

Factoring

(x-20)(x+25)=0

Which gives x=20, x=-25. We can only use the positive value of x, so

x=20 m  and therefore

u=200/20=10$

So the piece is 20 m long and costs $10 per meter

Answers

Final answer:

Reasonable estimates for the number of students per grade when there are 472 students total are 50, 80, or 100 students per grade.

Explanation:

The student's question asks for reasonable estimates for the number of students in each grade if there are 472 students in different grades with about the same number of students in each grade.

Let's examine the options given:

50 students, because 472 ÷ 9 is about 450 ÷ 9, which yields 50 students per grade.80 students, because 472 ÷ 6 is indeed close to 480 ÷ 6, which would result in about 80 students per grade.100 students, because 472 ÷ 5 is close to 500 ÷ 5, translating to 100 students per grade.150 students is not a reasonable estimate because 472 ÷ 3 is about 157, which is significantly off from 150.200 students is not reasonable either since 472 ÷ 2 is 236 and 1,200 ÷ 6 is not closely related to this problem.

Therefore, reasonable estimates for the number of students per grade are 50 students, 80 students, and 100 students.

Size of each packet of information = 1,500 bytes

Number of packets = P

Number of bytes of information = B

2. Let's answer the questions:

A. How many packets would be needed to transmit 30,000 bytes of information?

P = 30,000 ÷ 1,500

P = 20

It would be needed 20 packets to transmit 30,000 bytes of information

B. How much information could be transmitted in 30,000 packets?

B = 30,000 * 1,500

B = 45'000,000

45'000,000 (45 million) of bytes could be transmitted in 30,000 packets.

Set logs up on both sides-

log 16^x = log 64^x+4

The variable goes behind because of the exponent log property (exponents are permitted to go behind the log to multiply)-

x * log 16 = x + 4 * log 64

Divide both logs out-

log 64/log 16 = 1.5

Simplify-

x = x+4(1.5)

1.5x + 6 = x

Remove 1.5-

1 - 1.5 = -.5x

Simplify-

-.5x = 6

Divide both sides-

6/-.5x = -12

57 first-year teachers and 19 experienced teachers attended a school staff meeting meeting. What percentage of the teachers in the meeting were first-year teachers?

Write your answer using a percent sign (%).

Answers

Answer:

75%

Step-by-step explanation:

57 / (57+19) = 0.75

Final answer:

About 75% of the teachers in the meeting were first-year teachers, as calculated by dividing the number of first-year teachers by the total number of teachers and then multiplying by 100.

Explanation:

To determine what percentage of the teachers in the meeting were first-year teachers, we use the formula 'part over total, times one hundred, equals percent'. In this scenario, the 'part' is the number of first-year teachers which is 57, and the 'total' is the sum of first-year and experienced teachers, which is 57 + 19 = 76. The calculation then becomes 57/76 times 100, to find that percentage.

Carrying out the calculation:
(57 / 76) times 100 = 0.75 times 100 = 75%

Therefore, approximately 75% of the teachers at the meeting were first-year teachers.

Step-by-step explanation:

A gardener at a nursery is filling pots with soil to prepare to
transplant seedlings into these larger pots. Each new pot needs about 27 cubic inches
of soil. The amount of soil s (in cubic inches) it takes to fill p pots is given by the
function s = 27p
a.
The gardener is filling the pots from a bag of soil that contains 3456 cubic
inches of soil. How many pots can be filled from the bag?
b.
Suppose the gardener needs to fill at most 109 pots. How much soil (in cubic
inches) will the gardener need?

Answers

Answer:

a. 127 pots

b. 2,943 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount of pots of soil can be filled, you can use the equation given. s = 3456 in part a

a.

s = 27p

3456 = 27p

divide 3456 by 27 to isolate p

p = 127 pots

Instead of substituting for s like in part a, you can now substitute for p, since you know that you need to fill 109 pots.

b.

s = 27 * 109

s = 2943 cubic inches

The gardener can fill 128 pots with the 3456 cubic inches of soil available. If the gardener needs to fill at most 109 pots, they will require 2943 cubic inches of soil.

To solve both parts of the question, we will use the function s = 27p, where s represents the amount of soil (in cubic inches) and p represents the number of pots.

Part a: Calculating the Number of Pots

The gardener has a bag containing 3456 cubic inches of soil. To find out how many pots can be filled from the bag, we need to divide the total amount of soil by the amount needed per pot:

p = 3456 cubic inches / 27 cubic inches per pot = 128 pots

Part b: Soil Needed for a Maximum Number of Pots

If the gardener needs to fill at most 109 pots, the total amount of soil required can be calculated using the provided function:

s = 27 cubic inches per pot * 109 pots = 2943 cubic inches of soil
