Melissa is driving a sports utility vehicle along the interstate at a constant speed of 55 mph. A sports car one-half mile behind her that is moving at a constant speed passes her in 60 seconds. How many miles per hour is the speed of the sports car

Answers

Answer 1

Using proportions, it is found that the speed of the sports car is of 85 miles per hour.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount.

The cars are moving in the same direction, hence their relative speed is the difference of them.

The sports car is 0.5 miles faster over one minute, hence over one hour the difference is:

60 x 0.5 = 30 miles per hour.

Considering that the utility vehicle has a speed of 55 mph, the speed of the sports car is given by:

55 + 30 = 85 miles per hour.

the answer 12x-15
bc you multiply 4 and 3 to get 12x and then you multiply 5 and 3 to get 15

Answer:

Answer below!

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright I'm not too sure on what the question is asking for per your instructions, but I've written out my best explanation on how to use distributive property to solve this equation.

So first, what is the process of distributive property? It basically states whatever is in the parenthesis is multiplied by the outside number.

In simpler terms, each character in the parenthesis is multiplied by the number standing outside of the parenthesis.

So we can go...

(3 x 4x) - (3 x 5) = (12x) - (15)

And there's your answer, 12x - 15! Unless you know what x means, you'll probably just stop there.

A toy ball can be modeled as a sphere. Eva measures its diameter as 15.7 cm. Find the
ball's volume in cubic centimeters. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary

Answers

Answer:

[tex]v = 2064.2 {cm}^{3} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we first consider the formula for the volume of a sphere

[tex]v = \frac{4}{3} \pi {r}^{3} [/tex]

we were given diameter of 15.7cm.

we can find the radius by dividing the diameter by 2

because two times a radius makes a diameter.

[tex] \frac{15.7}{2} = 7.9cm[/tex]

we have the radius as 7.9cm.

and we know pi (π) to be 3.14 or 22/7.

but in this case, we use 3.14.

now let's substitute the values in the formula

[tex]v = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times {7.9}^{3} [/tex]

and we will get

[tex]v = 2064.19 {cm}^{3} [/tex]

but the nearest 10th will be

[tex]v = 2064.2 {cm}^{3} [/tex]

After that we see that it says “He SPENDS (subtraction) 25 dollars a day. So you’d write -25. Put that together and you get 15h - 25. Which is your final answer.

% compounded monthly. To the nearest dollar, how much money would Claire have in her account when Henry's money has tripled in value?

Answers

Using compound interest, it is found that Claire will have $6,186 in her account when Henry's money has tripled in value.

What is compound interest?

The amount of money earned, in compound interest, after t years, is given by:

[tex]A(t) = P\left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}[/tex]

In which:

A(t) is the amount of money after t years. P is the principal(the initial sum of money). r is the interest rate(as a decimal value). n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year.

For Henry, we have that r = 0.0675, n = 12. The time it takes for the amount to triple is t when A(t) = 3P, hence:

[tex]A(t) = P\left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}[/tex]

[tex]3P = P\left(1 + \frac{0.0675}{12}\right)^{12t}[/tex]

[tex](1.005625)^{12t} = 3[/tex]

[tex]\log{(1.005625)^{12t}} = \log{3}[/tex]

[tex]12t\log{(1.005625)} = \log{3}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{\log{3}}{12\log{(1.005625)}}[/tex]

t = 16.32.

Then, for Claire, we have that the parameters are as follows:

P = 2300, r = 0.0625, n = 1, t = 16.32.

Hence, the amount is given by:

[tex]A(t) = P\left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}[/tex]

[tex]A(t) = 2300\left(1 + \frac{0.0625}{1}\right)^{16.32}[/tex]

A(t) = 6186.

Claire will have $6,186 in her account when Henry's money has tripled in value.

Location is known to affect the number, of a particular item, sold by an auto parts facility. Two different locations, A and B, are selected on an experimental basis. Location A was observed for 13 days and location B was observed for 18 days. The number of the particular items sold per day was recorded for each location. On average, location A sold 39 of these items with a sample standard deviation of 8 and location B sold 55 of these items with a sample standard deviation of 2. Select a 90% confidence interval for the difference in the true means of items sold at location A and B

Answers

We have two samples, A and B, so we need to construct a 2 Samp T Int using this formula:

[tex]\displaystyle \overline {x}_1 - \overline {x}_2 \ \pm \ t^{*} \sqrt{\frac{s_1^2}{n_1} + \frac{s_2^2}{n_2} }[/tex]  

In order to use t*, we need to check conditions for using a t-distribution first.

Random for both samples -- NOT STATED in the problem ∴ proceed with caution!Independence for both samples: 130 < all items sold at Location A; 180 < all items sold at Location B -- we can reasonably assume this is trueNormality: CLT is not met; n < 30 for both locations A and B ∴ proceed with caution!

Since 2/3 conditions aren't met, we can still proceed with the problem but keep in mind that the results will not be as accurate until more data is collected or more information is given in the problem.

Solve for t*:

We need the tail area first.

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1-.9}{2}= .05[/tex]

Next we need the degree of freedom.

The degree of freedom can be found by subtracting the degree of freedom for A and B.

The general formula is df = n - 1.

df for A: 13 - 1 = 12df for B: 18 - 1 = 17 df for A - B: |12 - 17| = 5

Use a calculator or a t-table to find the corresponding t-score for df = 5 and tail area = .05.

t* = -2.015

Now we can use the formula at the very top to construct a confidence interval for two sample means.

[tex]\overline {x}_A=39[/tex] [tex]s_A=8[/tex] [tex]n_A=13[/tex] [tex]\overline {x}_B = 55[/tex] [tex]s_B=2[/tex] [tex]n_B=18[/tex] [tex]t^{*}=-2.015[/tex]

Substitute the variables into the formula: [tex]\displaystyle \overline {x}_1 - \overline {x}_2 \ \pm \ t^{*} \sqrt{\frac{s_1^2}{n_1} + \frac{s_2^2}{n_2} }[/tex].

[tex]39-55 \ \pm \ -2.015 \big{(}\sqrt{\frac{(8)^2}{13} +\frac{(2)^2}{18} } } \ \big{)}[/tex]

Simplify this expression.

[tex]-16 \ \pm \ -2.015 (\sqrt{5.1453} \ )[/tex] [tex]-16 \ \pm \ 3.73139[/tex]

Adding and subtracting 3.73139 to and from -16 gives us a confidence interval of:

[tex](-20.5707,-11.4293)[/tex]

If we want to interpret the confidence interval of (-20.5707, -11.4293), we can say...

We are 90% confident that the interval from -20.5707 to -11.4293 holds the true mean of items sold at locations A and B.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x - 5  -------------------(I)

x + y = -1 ----------------(II)

Substitute y = x -5 in equation (II)

x + (x - 5) = -1

x + x - 5 = -1   {Combine like terms}

   2x - 5 = -1 {Add 5 to both sides}

        2x  = -1 + 5

         2x = 4 {Divide both sides by 2}

           x = 4/2

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 in equation (I)

y = 2 - 5

y = -3

An airplane flying at 650 miles per hour has a bearing of 54. After flying for 1.5 hours, how far north and how far east will the plane have traveled from its point of departure?

Answers

Answer:

627 miles north

747 miles east

Step-by-step explanation:

Bearing angles are measured east of north, so in (N, E) coordinates, the final position of the plane is ...

 (1.5 h)(650 mi/h)(cos(50°), sin(50°)) = (975cos(50°), 975sin(50°)) mi

 = (626.72, 746.89) mi

The plane will be 627 miles north and 747 miles east of its point of departure.

Solve for v simplify your answer as much as possible: -2 + 3v = -23​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-2 + 3v = -23 >> -2 + 23 = -3v >> 21 = -3v >> v = -7

Answer:

V=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, you must first add the -2 to both sides. (This cancels it out since you only want one variable on each side of the equation. It would be the other way around if the variable were positive) Now that you have the equation 3v=-21, you can divide. To get the v by itself, you must divide both sides by 3. This gives you the answer to the equation.

Answer:

m∠A = 139°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since knowing that:

Supplementary angles = 180 degree

Thus we put that in both equation:

( 7x - 15 ) + ( 2x - 3 ) = 180

Combine like terms & use inverse operations to find the value of x:

( 7x - 15 ) + ( 2x - 3 ) = 180

9x - 18 = 180

9x - 18 + 18 = 180 + 18

9x  = 198

9x/9 = 198/9

x = 22

Hence,  Angle A will have a measure of 7x - 15 which means  7 ×  22 -15 = 154 - 15 = 139°

m∠A = 139°

The measure of Angle B will be 2x - 3 = 2 • 22 - 3 = 44 - 3 = 41°

m∠ B = 41°
