Peter takes16 minutes longer to mow the lawn by himself than Charles . Together they can mow the lawn in 18 minutes. How long will it take Charles to do it alone?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  about 29.7 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

If it take c minutes for Charles to mow the lawn by himself, it takes c+16 minutes for Peter. The two of them working together can mow in one minute this fraction of the entire lawn:

  1/c + 1/(c+16) = 1/18

Multiplying by 18c(c+16), we get ...

  18(c +16) + 18(c) = c(c+16)/18

  36c +288 = c^2 +16c

  c^2 -20c = 288 . . . . . subtract 36c

  c^2 -20c +100 = 388 . . . . . add (20/2)^2 = 100 to complete the square

  (c -10)^2 = 388

  c = 10 +√388 ≈ 29.6977 . . . . . take the positive square root

It takes Charles about 29.7 minutes to mow the lawn by himself.

The average weight of 5 items is 24 pounds. If the total weight of 3 blue items is 39 pounds, what is the average weight of the remaining 2 non-blue items?

Answers

Answer: the average weight of the remaining 2 non-blue items is 81 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining average is expressed as

Average = sum of each item/ total number of items

Let x represent the average weight of the remaining 2 non-blue items.

The average weight of 5 items is 24 pounds. If the total weight of 3 blue items is 39 pounds, it means that

(x + 39)/5 = 24

x + 39 = 5 × 24 = 120

x = 120 - 39

x = 81

Answers

Answer: the cost of one apple is $1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of one apple.

Let y represent the cost of one Pomegranate.

Donata bought 3 Apples and 5 Pomegranates at the local supermarket for a total of $16.50. This means that

3x + 5y = 16.5 - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Meaghan bought 6 Apples and 11 Pomegranates at the same store for a total of $35.70. This means that

6x + 11y = 35.7- - - - - - - - - - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 2 and equation 2 by 1, it becomes

6x + 10y = 33

6x + 11y = 35.7

Subtracting, it becomes

- y = - 2.7

y = 2.7

Substituting y = 2.7 into equation 1, it becomes

3x + 5 × 2.7 = 16.5

3x + 13.5 = 16.5

3x = 16.5 - 13.5 = 3

Sam eats 1/2 of a chocolate bar. Jack eats 1/4 of the remaining chocolate bar. After both Jack and Sam eat their portions of the chocolate bar how much is left uneaten of the original whole chocolate bar?

Answers

Final answer:

After Sam eats 1/2 and Jack eats 1/4 of the remaining chocolate bar, 3/8 of the original chocolate bar is left uneaten.

Explanation:

Sam eats 1/2 of a chocolate bar. Jack then eats 1/4 of the remaining chocolate bar. To determine how much of the chocolate bar is left, we need to perform a couple of simple calculations. After Sam eats his portion, 1/2 of the bar is left. Jack eats 1/4 of what remains after Sam, which is 1/4 of 1/2, or 1/2 * 1/4 = 1/8 of the original bar.

This means that Jack's portion is 1/8 of the entire chocolate bar. Now, the total amount eaten by Sam and Jack together is 1/2 (Sam's portion) + 1/8 (Jack's portion). To add these fractions, they need to have a common denominator, which in this case is 8. This makes Sam's portion 4/8 when expressed with the common denominator. Now, add 4/8 (Sam's adjusted portion) + 1/8 (Jack's portion) = 5/8.

Therefore, the total amount eaten by both is 5/8 of the bar, leaving 3/8 of the original chocolate bar uneaten.

A player of a video game is confronted with a series of four opponents and an 80% probability of defeating each opponent. Assume that the results from opponents are independent (and that when the player is defeated by an opponent the game ends).
A. What is the probability that a player defeats all four opponents in a game?
B. What is the probability that a player defeats at least two opponents in a game?
C. If the game is played three times, what is the probability that the player defeats all four opponents at least once?

Answers

Answer:

(a) 0.4096

(b) 0.64

(c) 0.7942

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the player wins is,

[tex]P(W)=0.80[/tex]

Then the probability that the player losses is,

[tex]P(L)=1-P(W)=1-0.80=0.20[/tex]

The player is playing the video game with 4 different opponents.

It is provided that when the player is defeated by an opponent the game ends.

All the possible ways the player can win is: {L, WL, WWL, WWWL and WWWW)

(a)

The results from all the 4 opponents are independent, i.e. the result of a game played with one opponent is unaffected by the result of the game played with another opponent.

The probability that the player defeats all four opponents in a game is,

P (Player defeats all 4 opponents) = [tex]P(W)\times P(W)\times P(W)\times P(W)=[P(W)]^{4} =(0.80)^{4}=0.4096[/tex]

Thus, the probability that the player defeats all four opponents in a game is 0.4096.

(b)

The probability that the player defeats at least two opponents in a game is,

P (Player defeats at least 2) = 1 - P (Player losses the 1st game) - P (Player losses the 2nd game) = [tex]1-P(L)-P(WL)[/tex]

                                    [tex]=1-(0.20)-(0.80\times0.20)\\=1-0.20-0.16\\=0.64[/tex]

Thus, the probability that the player defeats at least two opponents in a game is 0.64.

(c)

Let X = number of times the player defeats all 4 opponents.

The probability that the player defeats all four opponents in a game is,

P(WWWW) = 0.4096.

Then the random variable [tex]X\sim Bin(n=3, p=0.4096)[/tex]

The probability distribution of binomial is:

[tex]P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^{x} (1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

The probability that the player defeats all the 4 opponents at least once is,

P (X ≥ 1) = 1 - P (X < 1)

             = 1 - P (X = 0)

             [tex]=1-[{3\choose 0}(0.4096)^{0} (1-0.4096)^{3-0}]\\=1-[1\times1\times (0.5904)^{3}\\=1-0.2058\\=0.7942[/tex]

Thus, the probability that the player defeats all the 4 opponents at least once is 0.7942.

Final answer:

The probability of defeating all four opponents in one game is 40.96%. The probability of defeating at least two opponents is 87.04%. Playing the game three times, the probability of defeating all four opponents at least once is 88.47%.

Explanation:

To calculate the probability of different outcomes when playing a video game against four opponents, we'll use basic probability rules and assumptions given in the question.

A. Probability of Defeating All Four Opponents

The probability of defeating each opponent is 80% or 0.8. Since the fights are independent, to find the probability of defeating all four, we multiply the probabilities together:
0.8 × 0.8 × 0.8 × 0.8 = 0.4096 or 40.96% chance of defeating all four opponents.

B. Probability of Defeating At Least Two Opponents

To find the probability of defeating at least two opponents, we must consider all possible combinations of winning 2, 3, or 4 opponents' fights, and add those probabilities together. Let W represent a win and L represent a loss:

P(WWLL) + P(WLWL) + P(WLLW) + P(LWWL) + P(LWLW) + P(LLWW)
P(WWWL) + P(WLWW) + P(WWLW) + P(LWWW)
P(WWWW)

We already calculated P(WWWW) as 0.4096. The other probabilities can be calculated using similar multiplication of respective individual probabilities (0.8 for W, 0.2 for L). After calculation, we sum these to find the cumulative probability, which is 0.8704 or 87.04%.

C. Probability of Defeating All Four Opponents At Least Once Over Three Games:

The probability of not defeating all four opponents in one game is 1 - P(WWWW) = 0.5904. The events in each game are independent, so the probability of not defeating all four opponents in all three games is (0.5904)^3. Therefore, by subtracting this result from 1, we get the probability of defeating all opponents at least once: 1 - (0.5904 × 0.5904 × 0.5904) = 0.8847 or 88.47%.

Find ​f( 40 40​) and determine if the area will be safe for human habitation by 2025 2025.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If I'm understanding this correctly, the rate of decay function is

[tex]f(x)=1000(.5)^{\frac{x}{30}}[/tex]

and we want to solve for the amount of element left after x = 40 years.  That would make our equation

[tex]f(40)=1000(.5)^{1.33333333333}[/tex]

Multiply the repeating decimal by .5 to get

f(40) = 1000(.3968502631)

and f(40) = 396.85

So no, it's not safe for human habitation.

Final answer:

f(40) ≈ 793.7 kilograms. The area will not be safe for human habitation by 2025.

Explanation:

For the decay, to find f(40), we substitute x=40 into the function f(x)=1000(0.5)x/30.

f(40)=1000(0.5)40/30

f(40)=1000(0.5)4/3

f(40) ≈ 1000(0.7937)

f(40) ≈ 793.7 kilograms

Since the question asks if the area will be safe for human habitation by 2025, we need to check if f(40) is less than or equal to 100 kilograms.

But the value of f(40) is about 793.7 kilograms, which is greater than 100 kilograms.

Therefore, the area will not be safe for human habitation by 2025.

NASA is sending a probe to Alpha Centauri and then to Sirius. A problem with the probe is noticed while it is at Alpha Centauri, so it must go back to Erth before going to Sirius. Alpha Centauri is 4.3 light-years away from Earth and Sirius is 8.6 light-years away. The probe is traveling at 18.03 km/s, there are 1.58125 x 10-5 light-years in one astronomical unit. How long will the probe have been traveling from when it first leaves Earth to when it arrives at Sirius?

Answers

Answer:

Time = 9.0252 *10^12 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The distance from Earth to Alpha Centauri = 4.3 light years

- The distance from Earth to Sirius = 8.6 light years

- Speed of the probe is V = 18.03 km/s

- 1 AU = 1.58125 x 10-5 light-years

Find:

How long will the probe have been traveling from when it first leaves Earth to when it arrives at Sirius?

Solution:

- We will track probe for each destination it reaches one by one:

                       Earth ------> Alpha Centauri d_1 = 4.3 light years

                       Alpha Centauri ------> Earth d_2 =4.3 light years

                       Earth ------> Sirius                  d_3 = 8.6 light years  

                       Total distance                       D    = 17.2 light years.

- Now we know the total distance traveled by the probe is D. We will convert the distance into km SI units:

                          1 AU    ------------------> 1.58125 x 10-5 light-years

                          x AU   ------------------> 17.2 light years.

- Using direct proportions

                           x = 17.2 / (1.58125 x 10-5) = 1087747.036 AU

Also,

                          1 AU  ---------------------> 149597870700 m

                           1087747.036 AU  ---->    D m

- Using direct proportions

                            D =   1087747.036*149597870700  = 1.62725*10^17 m

- Now use the speed - distance - time formula to compute the total time taken:

                            Time = Distance traveled (D) / V

                            Time = 1.62725*10^17 / 18.03*10^3

What’s the value of x?

Answers

Answer:

98 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

m<H = 45, m<F = 53

180 = 45 + 53 + (180-x)

82 = 180-x

x+82 = 180

x = 98

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. This means that

Angle F + angle G + angle H = 180

Therefore,

53 + 45 + angle G = 180

98 + angle G = 180

Subtracting 98 from the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

98 - 98 + angle G = 180 - 98

angle G = 82 degrees

The sum of angles on a straight line is 180 degrees. Therefore,

x + 82 = 180

Subtracting 82 from the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

x + 82 - 82 = 180 - 82

x = 98 degrees

Answers

Final answer:

Jim's first error occurred when he incorrectly applied the cube to three-fifths. He made the mistake of not applying the power to the denominator of the fraction. The answer is  54/125

Explanation:

The question revolves around a mathematical operation where Jim is attempting to determine the cube of 2 times three-fifths. Jim's first error lies in how he applied the power of three. According to the rules of exponentiation for fractions, you should apply the power to both the numerator and denominator. Hence, Jim's first mistake was that he did not apply the power to the denominator of three-fifths. Instead of merely cubing the numerator (3), Jim should have also cubed the denominator (5). He should have performed the calculation as follows:

= 2 x (3/5)^3

= 2 x (3^3/5^3)

= 2 (27/125).

#SPJ3

Jim first errored by failing to apply the exponent to both the numerator and denominator of the fraction before multiplying by two. The correct calculation for cubing a fraction should involve cubing both the numerator and the denominator, which would have resulted in 54/125 instead of 54/5.

The first error that Jim made was not applying the power to both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction before multiplying by two. When cubing a number in fractional form, such as three-fifths, one must cube both the numerator (33) and the denominator (53) to correctly apply the exponent to the entire fraction. The correct method is to first cube three-fifths, which results in 27/125, and then multiply that result by 2, leading to the final answer of 54/125, not 54/5 as Jim calculated.

It's important to follow the correct order of operations and apply exponents before multiplication. In this case, to find the value of 2 × (three-fifths) cubed, the calculation should be 2 × (3/5)3, which simplifies to 2 × (27/125), and then to 54/125.

[tex]y = \frac{A - x^{2} }{4x}[/tex]

Volume of box = Area x height

V = x² ₓ y

V = x² ₓ ( [tex]\frac{A - x^{2} }{4x}[/tex] )

V =  [tex]\frac{Ax - x^{3} }{4}[/tex]

To find max volume put V' = 0

So taking derivative equation becomes

[tex]\frac{A - 3 x^{2} }{4} = 0[/tex]

A = 3 [tex]x^{2}[/tex]

[tex]x^{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{A}{3}[/tex]

x = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{A}{3\\} }[/tex]

put value of x in equation 1

y = [tex]\frac{A - \frac{A}{3} }{4\sqrt{\frac{A}{3} } }[/tex]  

y = [tex]\frac{2 \sqrt{\frac{A}{3} } }{4 \sqrt{\frac{A}{3} } }[/tex]

y = [tex]\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{A}{3} }[/tex]

So the volume will be

V = [tex]x^{2}[/tex] × y

Put values of x and y from equation 2 & 3

V = [tex]\frac{A}{3} (\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{A}{3} } )[/tex]

V = [tex]\frac{A\sqrt{A}}{6\sqrt{3} }[/tex]

The side length is [tex]\mathbf{l =\sqrt{ \frac A3}}[/tex], the height is [tex]\mathbf{h = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac A3}}[/tex] and the maximal volume is  [tex]\mathbf{V = \frac A6 \sqrt{\frac A3}}[/tex]

Let the dimensions of the box be l and h, where l represents the base length and h represents the height.

The volume is calculated as:

[tex]\mathbf{V = l^2h}[/tex]

The surface area is:

[tex]\mathbf{A= l^2 + 4lh}[/tex]

Make h the subject

[tex]\mathbf{h = \frac{A- l^2}{4l}}[/tex]

Substitute [tex]\mathbf{h = \frac{A- l^2}{4l}}[/tex] in [tex]\mathbf{V = l^2h}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{V = l^2 \times \frac{A- l^2}{4l}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{V = l \times \frac{A- l^2}{4}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{V = \frac{Al- l^3}{4}}[/tex]

Split

[tex]\mathbf{V = \frac{Al}{4}- \frac{l^3}{4}}[/tex]

Differentiate

[tex]\mathbf{V' = \frac{A}{4}- \frac{3l^2}{4}}[/tex]

Set to 0

[tex]\mathbf{\frac{A}{4}- \frac{3l^2}{4} = 0}[/tex]

Multiply through by 4

[tex]\mathbf{A- 3l^2 = 0}[/tex]

Add 3l^2 to both sides

[tex]\mathbf{3l^2 = A}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3

[tex]\mathbf{l^2 = \frac A3}[/tex]

Take square roots

[tex]\mathbf{l =\sqrt{ \frac A3}}[/tex]

Recall that: [tex]\mathbf{h = \frac{A- l^2}{4l}}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{h = \frac{A - \frac{A}{3}}{4\sqrt{A/3}}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{h = \frac{\frac{2A}{3}}{4\sqrt{A/3}}}[/tex]

Divide

[tex]\mathbf{h = \frac{2\sqrt{A/3}}{4}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{h = \frac{\sqrt{A/3}}{2}}[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]\mathbf{h = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac A3}}[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]\mathbf{V = l^2h}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{V = \frac A3 \times \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac A3}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{V = \frac A6 \sqrt{\frac A3}}[/tex]

Hence, the side length is [tex]\mathbf{l =\sqrt{ \frac A3}}[/tex], the height is [tex]\mathbf{h = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac A3}}[/tex] and the maximal volume is  [tex]\mathbf{V = \frac A6 \sqrt{\frac A3}}[/tex]

Consider a coordinate system in which the positive x axis is directed upward vertically. What are the positions of a particle (a) 5.0 m directly above the origin and (b) 2.0 m below the origin?

Answers

Answer:

a) (5,0)

b) (2,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) A particle that lies 5.0 m directly above the origin would have its x-coordinate be 5 and its y-coordinate be 0. So (5,0).

(b) A particle that lies 2.0 m directly below the origin would have its x-coordinate be 2 and its y-coordinate be 0. So (2,0).

Final answer:

In a coordinate system with the positive x-axis directed upward, a particle located 5.0 m directly above the origin has a position of +5.0 m, and a particle 2.0 m below the origin has a position of -2.0 m.

Explanation:

In this coordinate system, the position of a particle is indicated by its vertical position relative to the origin. Therefore:

Directly above the origin: If a particle is 5.0 m directly above the origin, this is represented as a positive number in this coordinate system. Thus, its coordinate is +5.0 m.Below the origin: If a particle is 2.0 m below the origin, this is represented as a negative number in this coordinate system. Thus, its coordinate is -2.0 m.

Which of the following functions has the same horizontal asymptote and
range as the function graphed below?


A. f(x) = 2^x+2 + 3

B. f(x) = 2^x+2 + 2

C. f(x) = 2^x+2 - 2

D. f(x) = 2^x+2 - 3

Answers

Answer:

C. f(x) = 2^x+2 - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the graph and answer choices, it's obvious that the only change is the vertical shift. Since we know that the smallest value of 2^x+2 is 0, we can infer that the vertical shift will be -3 to match the horizontal asymptote of y=-3.

Hi does anyone know how to solve this question if so please show the working out.

Answers

Explanation:

The Law of Sines is your friend, as is the Pythagorean theorem.

Label the unmarked slanted segments "a" and "b" with "b" being the hypotenuse of the right triangle, and "a" being the common segment between the 45° and 60° angles.

Then we have from the Pythagorean theorem ...

  b² = 4² +(2√2)² = 24

  b = √24

From the Law of Sines, we know that ...

  b/sin(60°) = a/sin(θ)

  y/sin(45°) = a/sin(φ)

Solving the first of these equations for "a" and the second for "y", we get ...

  a = b·sin(θ)/sin(60°)

and ...

  y = a·sin(45°)/sin(φ)

Substituting for "a" into the second equation, we get ...

  y = b·sin(θ)/sin(60°)·sin(45°)/sin(φ) = (b·sin(45°)/sin(60°))·sin(θ)/sin(φ)

So, we need to find the value of the coefficient ...

  b·sin(45°)/sin(60°) = (√24·(√2)/2)/((√3)/2)

  = √(24·2/3) = √16 = 4

and that completes the development:

  y = 4·sin(θ)/sin(φ)

If the eyepiece of a compound microscope has a magnification power of 10X and the objective lense has a magnification power of 4X, what is the total magnification of the microscope at this setting?

Answers

Answer:

Total magnification of microscope at this setting is 40X

Step-by-step explanation:

Total magnification of microscope is determined by multiplying the magnification power of individual lenses.

So if eyepiece has magnification power of 10X and objective lense has magnification power of 4X , the total magnification of microscope would be

10 × 4 = 40

which means the object will appear 40 times larger than actual object.

The total magnification of the microscope at this setting is 40X.

To determine the total magnification of a compound microscope, one needs to multiply the magnification power of the eyepiece by the magnification power of the objective lens. In this case, the eyepiece has a magnification power of 10X and the objective lens has a magnification power of 4X.

The formula for the total magnification [tex]\( M_{total} \)[/tex] is given by:

[tex]\[ M_{total} = M_{eyepiece} \times M_{objective} \][/tex]

Substituting the given values:

[tex]\[ M_{total} = 10X \times 4X \][/tex]

[tex]\[ M_{total} = 40X \][/tex]

Therefore, the total magnification of the microscope when using the 10X eyepiece and the 4X objective lens is 40X. This means that the image seen through the microscope will appear 40 times larger than its actual size.

A ball is dropped from a height of 16 feet. The function f(x)=16(0.67)^x gives the height in feet of each bounce, where x is the bounce number. What will be the height of the second bounce rounded to the nearest tenth of a foot?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an exponential function:

[tex]y=16(\frac{2}{3})^x[/tex] that tells us that the initial height of the ball is 16 feet and that after each successive bounce the ball comes up to 2/3 its previous height.  We are looking for y when x = 2, so

[tex]y=16(\frac{2}{3})^2[/tex] and

[tex]y=16(\frac{4}{9})[/tex] and

[tex]y=\frac{64}{9}[/tex] so

y = 7.1 feet

Triangle RST is a right angle triangle.

From the given right angle triangle,

RS represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

With m∠R as the reference angle,

RT represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

ST represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

To determine m∠R, we would apply

the cosine trigonometric ratio.

Cos θ = adjacent side/hypotenuse. Therefore,

Cos m∠R = 8/10 = 0.8

m∠R = Cos^-1(0.8)

m∠R = 36.9 to one decimal place.

A study found that a driver’s reaction time A(x) to audio stimuli and his or her reaction time V(x) to visual stimuli (both in milliseconds) can be modeled by
A(x) = 0.0051x² - 0.319x + 15, 16 ≤ x ≤ 70,
V(x) = 0.005x² - 0.23x + 22, 16 ≤ x ≤ 70
where x is the driver's age (in years). Write an inequality that you can use to find the x-values for which A(x) is less than V(x).

Answers

Answer:

The required inequality is [tex]0.0001 x^2 - 0.089 x - 7<0[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

The given inequalities are

[tex]A(x) = 0.0051x^2 - 0.319x + 15[/tex]

[tex]V(x)= 0.005x^2 - 0.23x + 22[/tex]

where, x is the driver's age (in years), A(x) is driver’s reaction time to audio stimuli and V(x) is his or her reaction time to visual stimuli, 16 ≤ x ≤ 70.

We need to find an inequality that can be use to find the x-values for which A(x) is less than V(x).

[tex]A(x)<V(x)[/tex]

[tex]0.0051x^2 - 0.319x + 15< 0.005x^2 - 0.23x + 22[/tex]

[tex]0.0051x^2 - 0.319x + 15- 0.005x^2 + 0.23x- 22<0[/tex]

Combine like terms.

[tex]0.0001 x^2 - 0.089 x - 7<0[/tex]

where, 16 ≤ x ≤ 70.

Therefore, the required inequality is [tex]0.0001 x^2 - 0.089 x - 7<0[/tex].
