Answer: No, Ned will never catch up to Karen.

Step-by-step explanation:

Karen started walking at 1 mile per hour.

Time = distance/speed

If she walks 2.5 miles, it means that the time she spent walking is

2.5/1 = 2.5 hours.

After she walked 2.5 miles, her friend Ned started walking along the same route at a speed of 1 mile per hour. Since Ned is walking at 1 mile per hour which is even slower than Karen's speed, it means that for every 1 mile that Ned walks, Karen walks 2.5 miles. Therefore, if

they continue to walk at the same rate, Ned will never catch up to Karen.

Answer:

Probability that the average salary of the 400 players exceeded $1.1 million is 0.99999.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that one year, professional sports players salaries averaged $1.5 million with a standard deviation of $0.9 million.

Suppose a sample of 400 major league players was taken.

Let [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample average salary

The z-score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

                 Z = [tex]\frac{ \bar X -\mu}{{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }} }[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, [tex]\mu[/tex] = mean salary = $1.5 million

            [tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = $0.9 million

             n = sample of players = 400

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X.

So, probability that the average salary of the 400 players exceeded $1.1 million is given by = P([tex]\bar X[/tex] > $1.1 million)

    P([tex]\bar X[/tex] > $1.1 million) = P( [tex]\frac{ \bar X -\mu}{{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }} }[/tex] >  [tex]\frac{ 1.1-1.5}{{\frac{0.9}{\sqrt{400} } }} }[/tex] ) = P(Z > -8.89) = P(Z < 8.89)

Now, in the z table the maximum value of which probability area is given is for critical value of x = 4.40 as 0.99999. So, we can assume that the above probability also has an area of 0.99999 or nearly close to 1.

Therefore, probability that the average salary of the 400 players exceeded $1.1 million is 0.99999.

The approximate probability that the average salary of the 400 players exceeded $1.1 million will be "1".

According to the question,

Standard deviation, σ = 0.9

Mean, μ = 1.5  

Let,

The salaries for professional sports player be "x".

Now,

The probability will be:

= P ([tex]\bar x[/tex] > 1.1)

= P ([tex]\frac{\bar x - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex] > [tex]\frac{1.1 - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex])

By substituting the values,

= P (Z > [tex]\frac{1.1 -1.5}{\frac{0.9}{\sqrt{400} } }[/tex])

= P (Z > -8.89)

By using the table,

= 1

Thus the above answer is correct.

Answer:

The usually speed of the bus is 50 miles/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the usual speed of the bus be x mile/hour.

We know that

[tex]speed=\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow time = \frac{distance}{speed}[/tex]

The bus travels 200 miles.

To reach its destination it takes time [tex]=\frac{200}{x}[/tex] h

This week however the bus leaves at 5:40.

The bus late 40 minutes [tex]=\frac{40}{60} h[/tex] [tex]= \frac{2}{3}h[/tex]

Now the speed of the bus is = (x+10) miles/h

The new time to reach the destination is [tex]=\frac{200}{x+10}[/tex] h

According to the problem,

[tex]\frac{200}{x}-\frac{200}{x+10}=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 200[\frac{x+10-x}{x(x+10)}]=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 200[\frac{10}{x^2+10x}]=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

⇒2(x²+10x)=200×10×3

⇒x²+10x = 3000

⇒x²+10x -3000=0

⇒x²+60x-50x-3000=0

⇒x(x+60)-50(x+60)=0

⇒(x+60)(x-50)=0

⇒x= -60,50

∴x=50 [since speed does not negative]

The usually speed of the bus is 50 miles/h.

The bus's usual speed is 60 mph.

To find the bus's usual speed, we can set up an equation based on the given information. Let the usual speed be x mph. Then, the time taken to travel 200 miles at the usual speed is 200/x. The time taken to travel the same distance at the increased speed (x+10) mph is 200/(x+10). Since the bus left late, these times should be equal, leading to the equation 200/x = 200/(x+10). Solving this equation, we find that x = 60 mph, which is the usual speed of the bus.

Option B) $940

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

[tex]y = 0.94x + 12.5[/tex]

The equation represents the company sales in thousand dollars and x is time in months.

Comparing to general form of linear equation.

[tex]y = mx + c[/tex]

Comparing, we get,

Slope, m = 0.94

y-intercept, c = 12.5

Interpretation:

Thus, the slope tells us the increase in sales of company with one unit increase in x that is it tells the increase in company's sale per month.

[tex]0.94\times 1000 = 940[/tex]

$940 is the increase in company's sale per month.

We need to determine the factor of the expression.

Now, let us break the given expression into two groups.

Hence, we get,

[tex]35 g^{2}+28 g h-30 g h-24 h^{2}[/tex]

Simplifying, we get,

[tex]\left(35 g^{2}+28 g h\right)+\left(-30 g h-24 h^{2}\right)[/tex]

Let us factor out 7g from the term [tex]\left(35 g^{2}+28 g h\right)[/tex]

Hence, we have,

[tex]7 g(5 g+4 h)+\left(-30 g h-24 h^{2}\right)[/tex]

Similarly, let us factor out -6h from the term [tex]\left(-30 g h-24 h^{2}\right)[/tex]

Thus, we have,

[tex]7 g(5 g+4 h)-6 h(5 g+4 h)[/tex]

Now, we shall factor out the term [tex]5g+4h[/tex] , we get,

[tex](7 g-6 h)(5 g+4 h)[/tex]

Thus, the factorization of the given expression is [tex](7 g-6 h)(5 g+4 h)[/tex]

Therefore, Option C is the correct answer.

We are also told that the height is five times its length, so height of the prism would be [tex]5m[/tex].

We know that volume of rectangular prism is height times width times length.

[tex]\text{Volume of rectangular prism}=lwh[/tex]

[tex]\text{Volume of rectangular prism}=m\cdot 6m\cdot 5m[/tex]

Answer:

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The first twenty counting numbers in base ten are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. If we convert each of these numbers to base twelve, then we will get the first twenty counting numbers in base twelve. We now proceed with the conversion below.

The first twelve digits of base 12 are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B.

12 in base 10 = 10 in base 12 since 12/12 = 1 R 0.

13 in base 10 = 11 in base 12 since 13/12 = 1 R 1.

14 in base 10 = 12 in base 12 since 14/12 = 1 R 2.

15 in base 10 = 13 in base 12 since 15/12 = 1 R 3.

16 in base 10 = 14 in base 12 since 16/12 = 1 R 4.

17 in base 10 = 15 in base 12 since 17/12 = 1 R 5.

18 in base 10 = 16 in base 12 since 18/12 = 1 R 6.

19 in base 10 = 17 in base 12 since 19/12 = 1 R 7.

20 in base 10 = 18 in base 12 since 20/12 = 1 R 8.

So the next 8 counting numbers of base 12 are 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18.

The student requested the first twenty numbers in the base twelve system. In this system, the digits 0 to 9 are used as in decimal, but 'A' represents ten and 'B' represents eleven. The sequence starts with 0 and follows with 1, 2, ... 9, A, B, 10 (twelve in decimal), up to 17 (nineteen in decimal).

The student asked for the first twenty counting numbers in base twelve, also known as the duodecimal system. In this system, we use the digits 0, 1, 2, ..., 9, A, and B, where A represents ten and B represents eleven in decimal. Here is the list:

After the number B, the numbers continue with 10 (equivalent to twelve in decimal), then 11 (thirteen), and so on until 17, which is nineteen in decimal.

Therefore the ratio of students who study french to students who do not study french is 4:11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that [tex]\frac2 3[/tex] of the students study a language. [tex]\frac2 5[/tex] of the students study french.

Consider total number of student be x.

The number of student who study language [tex]= \frac2 3\times x[/tex]

Again [tex]\frac2 5[/tex] of the students study french.

The number of student who study french [tex]= \frac2 3\times x\times \frac25[/tex]

                                                                      [tex]=\frac{4}{15}x[/tex]

The number of student who do not study french

[tex]=x-\frac{4}{15}x[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{x(15-4)}{15}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{11x}{15}[/tex]

Therefore the ratio of students who study french to students who do not study french is

[tex]=\frac{4}{15}x:\frac{11}{15}x[/tex]

Answer:

Therefore Carl takes[tex]=16.07 mins[/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed : speed is the ratio of distance to time.

[tex]speed=\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]

The S.I unit of speed = m/s

The C.G.S unit of speed = cm/s

12 mph means 12 miles per hour.

Let the speed of Carl be x.

Carl is going 12mph faster than Rick.

Then the speed of Rick is = (x-12)mph

We know that,

[tex]time =\frac{distance}{speed}[/tex]

[tex]Time =\frac{5}{x-12}[/tex] h

45 minutes = [tex]\frac{45}{60}[/tex] h

According to the problem,

[tex]\frac{5}{x-12} =\frac{45}{60}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 45(x-12)=5\times60[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow45x-540 = 300[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 45x=300+540[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x=\frac{840}{45}[/tex]

We know that,

[tex]time =\frac{distance}{speed}[/tex]

Therefore Carl takes  [tex]=\frac{5}{\frac{840}{45} } h[/tex]   [tex]=\frac{5\times 45\times 60}{840} mins[/tex] [tex]=16.07 mins[/tex]  

Carl will take approximately 16.08 minutes to travel the 5 miles to the store.

Step 1:

Determine Rick's speed.

Since Rick travels 5 miles in 45 minutes, we first convert 45 minutes to hours: 45 minutes ÷ 60 minutes/hour = 0.75 hours. Then, we find Rick's speed: Speed = Distance ÷ Time = 5 miles ÷ 0.75 hours = 6.67 mph.

Step 2:

Determine Carl's speed.

Since Carl is riding a bike 12 mph faster than Rick, we add 12 mph to Rick's speed to find Carl's speed: Carl's speed = Rick's speed + 12 mph = 6.67 mph + 12 mph = 18.67 mph.

Step 3:

Calculate Carl's time.

Now that we know Carl's speed, we can calculate how long it will take him to travel 5 miles. Time = Distance ÷ Speed = 5 miles ÷ 18.67 mph ≈ 0.268 hours.

Step 4:

Convert Carl's time to minutes.

To convert hours to minutes, we multiply by 60: 0.268 hours × 60 minutes/hour ≈ 16.08 minutes.

Step 5:

Interpret the result.

It will take Carl approximately 16.08 minutes to travel 5 miles to the store.

Answer: it will take them 8.89 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Amber can paint a room in 20 hours. This means that Amber's working rate per hour is 1/20

Christy can paint the same room in 16 hours. This means that Christy's working rate per hour is 1/16

If they work together, they would be working simultaneously and their unit rates is additive. This means that their combined rate would be

1/20 + 1/16

Assuming it takes t hours for both of them to paint the room working together. It means that their combined working rate per hour is 1/t. Therefore

1/20 + 1/16 = 1/t

(16 + 20/320 = 1/t

36/320 = 1/t

t = 320/36

t = 8.89 hours

Amber and Christy can paint a room together in approximately 8.89 hours by combining their work rates. Each has individual work rates of 1/20 and 1/16, respectively, and their combined work rate is 9/80 of a room per hour.

To determine how long it will take for Amber and Christy to paint the room when working together, we can use the concept of combined work rates. First, we calculate each person's individual work rate. Amber's work rate is 1 room per 20 hours (1/20), and Christy's work rate is 1 room per 16 hours (1/16).

Adding their rates together gives us the combined work rate:
Combined rate = Amber's rate + Christy's rate
Combined rate = 1/20 + 1/16

To add these fractions, we need a common denominator, which in this case is 80:

Combined rate = (4/80) + (5/80) = 9/80

This means that together, Amber and Christy can paint 9/80 of the room per hour. To find the total time required to paint the entire room, we take the reciprocal of the combined work rate:

Total time = 1 / (Combined rate)
Total time = 1 / (9/80)
Total time = 80/9
Total time = 8.89 hours (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, Amber and Christy will be able to paint the room together in approximately 8.89 hours.

Answer:

(a) 40 milligrams

(b)  1.21 milligrams

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential Function

It's commonly used to model real situations in life, like this one proposed in the question where the number of milligrams of a drug D(h) in a patient's bloodstream h hours after the drug is injected is modeled by the following function.

[tex]D(h) =40e^{-0.5h}[/tex]

(a) The initial amount injected to the patient can be found when h=0

[tex]D(0) =40e^{-0.5(0)}=40e^{0}=40[/tex]

Initial amount: 40 milligrams

(b) Let's plug h=7

D(7) =40e^{-0.5(7)}=40e^{-3.5}=1.21

Answer:  D. a1=15.75,an = an -1 -1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Sorry about the no explanation, but the answer is correct.

The correct recursive formula for the arithmetic sequence 15.75, 14.25, 12.75, … is a1 = 15.75, an = an-1 - 1.5. This means the first term is 15.75 and each following term is 1.5 less than the previous term.

The question asks for a recursive formula for the arithmetic sequence provided. An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers wherein the difference between any two consecutive terms is constant. In this case, the common difference (d) is -1.5, because each term decreases by 1.5 from the previous term. Every term in the sequence follows the pattern of the first term, plus the common difference (d) multiplied by (n-1), where n is the term number.

To write a recursive formula for the sequence, we express the nth term (an) as the sum of the (n-1)th term and the common difference. Thus, the recursive formula for the sequence is: a1 = 15.75, an = an-1 - 1.5. This tells us that the first term a1 equals 15.75, and any term an (after the first term) is 1.5 less than the term before it(an - 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The first is a tabulation of the data, in an organized, clear and concise way for each event.

2. After tabulation, for a better understanding of the data, statistical data, such as the mean, median, and standard deviation of each event, should be collected.

3. Finally, graph the data obtained to see the trend of both cases and thus have a very precise way to make the comparison of both events

Answer:

The answer to your question is a = 4.81

Step-by-step explanation:

Process

1.- The angle B and 43° are supplementary

            B + 43° = 180°

            B = 180 - 43

            B = 137°

2.- Calculate angle C

The sum of the internal angles in a triangle equals 180°

     A + B + C = 180°

      29 + 137 + C = 180

- Solve for C

     C = 180 - 29 - 137

     C = 14°

3.- Use the law of signs to find a

            a / sin A = c / sin C

           a / sin 29 = 2.4 / sin 14

- Solve for a

           a = 2.4 sin 29 / sin 14

- Simplification

           a = 2.4 (0.485) / 0.242

- Result

           a = 4.809
