Superman needs to save Lois from the clutches of Lex Luther. After flying for 15 seconds, he is 2100 meters from her. Then at 18 seconds he is 1980 meters from her.

A) Write an equation in slope-intercept form to model this situation where m is the distance in meters and s is the time in seconds.

B) How far is Superman away from Lois after flying for 6 seconds?

Answers

Answer 1

Part A

x = time in seconds that have gone by

y = distance in meters Superman is away from Lois

"After flying for 15 seconds, he is 2100 meters from her" means we have the point (x,y) = (15, 2100)

"at 18 seconds he is 1980 meters from her" tells us we have a second point (x,y) = (18,1980)

--------

Find the slope of the line through these two points

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (1980-2100)/(18-15)

m = (-120)/(3)

m = -40

The slope is -40 which means Superman is getting 40 meters closer each second. I.e, the distance is dropping 40 meters per second

--------

Use one of the points and the slope to find the y intercept b

y = mx+b

2100 = (-40)*15 + b

2100 = -600 + b

2100+600 = b

b = 2700

This is the starting distance Superman is away from Lois

--------

Since m = -40 and b = 2700, we know the y = mx+b equation becomes y = -40x+2700.

Replace x with s, replace y with m. We now have m = -40s+2700

---------

Final Answer:  m = -40s+2700

============================================

Part B

Plug s = 6 into the equation we found for part A. Then simplify.

m = -40s+2700

m = -40*6+2700

m = -240+2700

m = 2460

---------

Final Answer: 2460 meters

Final answer:

To find the intersection point, substitute the y-coordinate (115) into the exponential function and solve for x using ln(1-25).

Explanation:

To find the intersection point between the exponential function and the horizontal line, we substitute the y-coordinate of the intersection point (which is 115) into the given exponential function. We then solve for x.

Substituting y = 115 into the exponential function, we have (1-25)^(x-2/5) = 115. Taking the natural logarithm of both sides, we get (x-2/5)ln(1-25) = ln(115). Solving for x, we divide both sides by ln(1-25) and add 2/5 to get x = ln(115)/ln(1-25) + 2/5.

Therefore, the intersection point is (x, 115), where x = ln(115)/ln(1-25) + 2/5.

Answers

Answer:

The equation representing the problem is [tex]x=\frac{24\times 6}{32}[/tex].

Mr. Patel used 5 bags of seeds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of times bird feeder refilled =24

Number of cups of seeds used each time = 6 cups

Number of seeds each bag holds = 32 cups.

We need to write the equation to represent the problem.

Solution.

Let the total number of bag of seed be 'x'.

First we will find the Total number of cups of seeds used.

Now we can say that;

Total number of cups of seeds used can be calculated by multiplying Number of times bird feeder refilled by Number of cups of seeds used each time.

framing in equation form we get;

Total number of cups of seeds used = [tex]24\times6 \ cups[/tex]

Now We know that;

1 bag holds = 32 cups

Total number of bags required = [tex]24\times6 \ cups[/tex]

So we can say that;

Total number of bags required is equal to Total number of cups of seeds used divided by number of seed hold by each bag.

framing in equation form we get;

[tex]x=\frac{24\times 6}{32}[/tex]

Hence the equation representing the problem is [tex]x=\frac{24\times 6}{32}[/tex].

On solving we get;

[tex]x=4.5[/tex]

Since bags cannot be bought in half or in decimal value.

Hence we can say Mr. Patel used 5 bags of seeds.

Lilah is moving from Portland to Seattle. It takes her 3 hours to go by train. Mason leaves the train station in Portland and drives to the train station in Seattle with all Lilah's boxes in his car. It takes him 2.4 hours to get to Seattle, driving at 15 miles per hour faster than the speed of the train. Find Lilah's speed on the train and Mason's speed.

Answers

Answer:Lilah's speed on the train is 60 mph and Mason's speed is 75 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of Lilah.

Lilah is moving from Portland to Seattle. It takes her 3 hours to go by train.

Distance = speed × time

Distance covered by Lilah in moving from Portland to Seattle would be

3 × x = 3x

It takes him 2.4 hours to get to Seattle, driving at 15 miles per hour faster than the speed of the train.

It means that Mason's speed is

x + 15

Distance covered by Mason would be

2.4(x + 15) = 2.4x + 36

Since the distance from Portland to Seattle is the same, then

3x = 2.4x + 36

3x - 2.4x = 36

0.6x = 36 x = 36/0.6 = 60 mph

Mason's speed would be 60 + 15 = 75 mph

Terry pays £635.71 a year on his car insurance. The insurance company reduces the price by 5.3%. How much does the insurance cost now? Give your answer rounded to 2 DP.

Answers

The insurance costs £602.02 now.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount paid for car insurance = £635.71

Price reduce = 5.3%

Amount of reduce = 5.3% of amount paid

Amount of reduce = [tex]\frac{5.3}{100}*635.71[/tex]

Amount of reduce = [tex]0.053*635.71[/tex]

Amount of reduce =  £33.69263

Rounding off to two decimal place

Amount of reduce =  £33.69

Reduced price = Amount paid - Amount of reduce

Reduced price = 635.71 - 33.69 =  £602.02

The insurance costs £602.02 now.

Original price × (1 - reduction percentage) = Reduced price. £635.71 × (1 - 0.053) ≈ £602.97 (rounded to 2 DP).

let's break it down step by step:

1. Calculate the reduction amount:

  Multiply the original price (£635.71) by the reduction percentage (5.3% or 0.053).

  Reduction Amount = £635.71 * 0.053

2. Subtract the reduction amount from the original price:

  Subtract the reduction amount from the original price to find the reduced price.

  Reduced Price = £635.71 - Reduction Amount

Now, let's plug in the values:

1. Calculate the reduction amount:

  Reduction Amount = £635.71 * 0.053

                   ≈ £33.73763

2. Subtract the reduction amount from the original price:

  Reduced Price = £635.71 - £33.73763

                ≈ £602.97237

Rounded to two decimal places:

Reduced Price ≈ £602.97

So, after the 5.3% reduction, Terry's car insurance costs approximately £602.97.

At 1:30 Marlon left his house to go to the beach a distance of 6.75 mi. He rode his skateboard until 2:15 and then walked the rest of the way. He arrived at the beach at 3:00. Marlins speed on his skateboard is 2 times his walking speed. Find his speed when skateboarding and when walking

Answers

Answer: his speed when skateboarding is 6 mph and when walking is 3 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent Marlon's walking speed.

Marlins speed on his skateboard is 2 times his walking speed. This means that his skating speed would be 2x.

At 1:30 Marlon left his house to go to the beach a distance of 6.75 mi. He rode his skateboard until 2:15. This means that the total time he spent skating is 45 minutes = 45/60 = 0.75 hours

Distance = speed × time

Distance covered while skating would be

2x × 0.75 = 1.5x

He walked the rest of the way. He arrived at the beach at 3:00. This means that the time that he spent walking is 45 minutes = 0.75 hours.

Distance covered while walking would be

x × 0.75 = 0.75x

Total distance covered is 6.75 miles. Therefore

1.5x + 0.75x = 6.75

2.25x = 6.75

x = 6.75/2.25

x = 3 miles per hour

His skating speed = 2 × 3 = 6 miles per hour.

Use vectors to show that, for any triangle1 in R², the points2 that are 2/3 of the way from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side are all the same point. This point is called the centroid of the triangle.
True / False.

Answers

Final answer:

The statement is true; the centroid of a triangle is the point that lies 2/3 of the way from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. The centroid is the same point for all three vertices, which can be shown using vector operations that equate to (A+B+C)/3 for a triangle with vertices A, B, and C.

Explanation:

The statement that points lying 2/3 of the way from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side for any triangle in ℝ² (the real number plane) are all the same point, and this point is called the centroid of the triangle, is True. To prove this, consider a triangle ABC with vertices A, B, and C. If M is the midpoint of side BC, N is the midpoint of side AC, and O is the midpoint of side AB, then the points two-thirds of the way from the vertices A, B, and C to the midpoints of the opposite sides, respectively, can be represented by the vectors (2M+A)/3, (2N+B)/3, and (2O+C)/3.

Applying the midpoint formula and vector addition, we find that these points are equivalent to (B+C)/3, (A+C)/3, and (A+B)/3 respectively, which, when simplified, all yield to (A+B+C)/3, illustrating that the points coincide and thus prove the existence of a single centroid.

In a geometric context, the centroid is the point where the triangle’s medians intersect, and it also serves as the triangle's center of mass. The centroid divides each median in a 2:1 ratio, with the larger portion being closer to the vertex. This property is intrinsic to triangles and can be demonstrated using vector algebra or geometric arguments.

Gene has as many quarters as Ernest has half dollars, and each has 45 dimes. How many of each coin has each saved for the big day when $200 has been saved? Which of the following equations could represent the word problem if x is the number of half dollars that Gene has?a. 3x + 106 = 200
b. 125x + 916 = 20,000
c. 125x + 1,500 = 20,000

Answers

Answer:

1. Ernest has $82.5 and Gene has $117.5

2. c) 125x + 1500 = $20000

Step-by-step explanation:

If we mark Gene's half dollars with x, then it is given that Ernest has 8 more, which is x+8.

It is also given that Ernest has no quarters, but Gene has them as many as Ernest has half dollars, which is x+8.

And it is given that they both have 45 dimes each, which is $4.5 each.

Now, let's add up all these numbers:

Ernest: (x+8)•0.5 + 0•0.25 + 4.5 = 0.5x + 8.5

Gene: x•0.5 + (x+8)•0.25 + 4.5 = 0.75x + 6.5

They collected $200 together which means:

0.5x + 8.5 + 0.75x + 6.5 = $200

1.25x + 15 = $200

If we want to avoid decimal number, we can multiply whole equation with 100:

125x + 1500 = $20000

so, the correct answer is C.

Finally, to find x:

125x = 18500

x = 148

Ernest had 0.5x + 8.5 which is $82.5

(a) Build a probability model, compute the average revenue per passenger, and compute the
corresponding standard deviation.
(b) About how much revenue should the airline expect for a flight of 120 passengers? With what
standard deviation? Note any assumptions you make and if you think they are justified.

Answers

Answer:

The average revenue per passenger = E(x) = $15.70

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma^{2}} = \sqrt{398} \approx 19.95[/tex]

b)$1,884 ± $20

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Refer  attached fig for probability model,

i)The average revenue per passenger = E(x) = $15.70

[tex]\sigma^{2} = V[X] \sum _{x} (x-\mu )^{2} \times P(X=x)[/tex]

[tex]\sigma^{2} = (0-15.7)^{2} \times 0.54+(25-15.7)^{2} \times 0.34 +(60-15.7)^{2} \times 0.12[/tex]

[tex]\sigma^{2} = 133.1 + 29.4 + 235.5 = 398[/tex]

Standard Deviation = [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma^{2}} = \sqrt{398} \approx 19.95[/tex]

ii)  average revenue per passenger = E(x) = $15.70

b) Revenue should the airline expect for a flight of 120 passengers

revenue = 120 * $15.70 = $1,884 ± $20 (or 19.95 rounded up)

use same σ

Final answer:

The average revenue per passenger is $15.2 and the standard deviation is $18.45. For a flight of 120 passengers, the airline may expect around $1824 with standard deviation of $202.33. We're assuming that each passenger's baggage habits are independent.

Explanation:

To solve this, first we'll construct a probability model. Let X be a random variable denoting the revenue from each passenger. Then X can take three possible outcomes: $0 (with probability 0.54), $25 (with probability 0.34) or $60 (with probability 0.12).

The average revenue from each passenger E(X), also known as the expected value of X, is calculated as follows:

E(X) = 0*0.54 + 25*0.34 + 60*0.12 = $15.2

The standard deviation of X, denoted σ(X), is computed as follows:

σ(X) = sqrt[(0-15.2)^2*0.54 + (25-15.2)^2*0.34  + (60-15.2)^2*.12] = $18.45

Given this, for a flight of 120 people, the total expected revenue is 120*$15.2 = $1824 and the standard deviation of total revenue would be sqrt(120)*$18.45 = $202.33.

The underlying assumption here is that the baggage habits of passengers are independent, which is reasonable in this case.

A rectangular piece of cardboard, 8 inches by 14 inches, is used to make an open top box by cutting out a small square from each corner and bending up the sides. What size square should be cut from each corner for the box to have the maximum volume?

Answers

Answer:

x = 1.64 in   the size of the side of the square

Step-by-step explanation:

Let call x side of the square to be cut from cornes, then:

First side of rectangular base

L = 14 - 2*x

And the other side

d = 8 -2*x

Then Volume of the box

V(b) = L*d*x

V(x) =  ( 14- 2*x ) * ( 8 -2*x)*x

V(x) = ( 112 -  28*x  -16*x + 4*x² )*x    ⇒  4*x³ - 44*x² + 112*x

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get:

V´(x) = 12*x² - 88*x +112

V´(x) = 0       ⇒     12*x² - 88*x +112 = 0

A second degree equation, solvin it

3x² - 22*x +  28 = 0

x₁,₂ = [ 22 ± √484 - 336   ] / 6

x₁   =  (22 + 12,17) /6         x₂  =  ( 22 - 12.17 ) / 6

x₁   =  5.69     We dismiss this solution since it make side 8 - 2x  a negative length

A town has a population of 1600 people at time ????=0. In each of the following cases, write a formula for the population P, of the town as a function of year ????.

Answers

Answer:

a) [tex] P(t) =1600 +50t[/tex]

b) [tex] P(t) = 1600 (1.05)^t[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the complete question : "A town has a population of 1000 people at time t = 0. In each of the following cases, write a formula for the population, P, of the town as a function of year t. (a) The population increases by 50 people a year. (b) The population increases by 5% a year."

Part a

For this case we can use a linear model in order to estimate the population size since we have a fixed increase each year. So our model would be given by:

[tex] P(t) = P_o + b t[/tex]

Where [tex] b =50[/tex] on this case since represent the increase per year of the slope for the linear model. And the initial amount is [tex] P_o = 1600[/tex], so then the model is:

[tex] P(t) =1600 +50t[/tex]

Part b

For this case we have a rate of increase and when we have this the lineal model is not the most appropiate. So then we can use an exponential model given by:

[tex] P(t) =P_o b^{t}[/tex]

Where [tex] P_o = 1600[/tex] represent the initial population and for this case b is the rate of increase [tex] b = 1+0.05 = 1.05[/tex] since each year we have an increase of 5% and t is the time. So then the model is given by:

[tex] P(t) = 1600 (1.05)^t[/tex]

Final answer:

The population of a town can be calculated through formulas for linear growth (P = P0 + rt) and exponential growth (P = P0 * e^(rt)), depending on whether the population grows by a fixed amount or percentage each year. To use these formulas, the specific growth rate of the town is needed.

Explanation:

The subject of the question is about writing formulas for population growth. Let's denote the initial population as P0, the rate of growth as r and the time in years as t. Here are two common formulas:

Linear growth: P = P0 + rt. If the population grows by a fixed amount each year, you can use this formula where r is the number of people the population grows by each year.Exponential growth: P = P0 * e^(rt). If the population grows by a fixed percentage each year, you can use this formula where r is the growth rate expressed as a decimal.

To use these formulas, you'd need to know the specific growth rate of the town. It's also important to remember that actual population changes can be more complex and may not follow these exact formulas.

What is the sum of all of the perfect squares between
15
and
25
, inclusive, minus the sum of all of the other numbers between
15
and
25
,
inclusive?

Answers

Answer:

(-138) is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perfect square numbers between 15 and 25 inclusive are 16 and 25.

Sum of perfect square numbers 16 and 25 = 16 + 25 = 41

Sum of the remaining numbers between 15 and 25 inclusive means sum of the numbers from 17 to 24 plus 15.

Since sum of an arithmetic progression is defined by the expression

[tex]S_{n}=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d][/tex]

Where n = number of terms

a = first term of the sequence

d = common difference

[tex]S_{8}=\frac{8}{2} [2\times 17+(8-1)\times 1][/tex]

   = 4(34 + 7)

   = 164

Sum of 15 + [tex]S_{8}[/tex] = 15 + 164 = 179

Now the difference between 41 and sum of perfect squares between 15 and 25 inclusive = [tex]41-179[/tex]

= -138

Therefore, answer is (-138).

Final answer:

The sum of the perfect squares (16 and 25) between 15 and 25 is 41. The sum of all the other numbers between 15 and 25 is 179. So, when we subtract 179 from 41, we get -138.

Explanation:

To find the answer, we first need to identify which numbers between 15 and 25, inclusive, are perfect squares. A perfect square is a number which can be expressed as the product of an integer with itself. In this range, 16 and 25 are the perfect squares.

The sum of these perfect squares is 16 + 25 = 41.

Next, we need to find the sum of all the other numbers between 15 and 25, inclusive, that are not perfect squares. These numbers are 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24. Adding these numbers together gives a sum of 179.

Now subtract this second sum from the first to get the answer: 41 - 179 = -138

A consumer has $100 per day to spend on product A, which has a unit price of $7, and product B, which has a unit price of $15. What is the slope of the budget line if good A is on the horizontal axis and good B is on the vertical axis?

Answers

Final answer:

The slope of the budget line for a consumer who has $100 to spend per day, with product A at $7/unit on the horizontal axis and product B at $15/unit on the vertical axis, is -0.47. More consumption of one good requires a sacrifice in the consumption of the other.

Explanation:

The subject of this question is the slope of the budget line in microeconomics, which represents the trade-off between two goods, product A and product B. It can be determined by dividing the price of the good on the horizontal axis (product A) by the price of the good on the vertical axis (product B). Hence, the slope of the budget line is $7/$15 = 0.47 (rounded to two decimal places). The slope is negative reflecting the fact that to obtain more of one good, a consumer needs to give up some of the other.

The slope of the budget line is -7/15 or approximately -0.467.

To determine the slope of the budget line for a consumer with $100 per day to spend on product A and product B, we need to use the given prices and quantities. The unit price of product A is $7, and the unit price of product B is $15.We place the quantity of product A on the horizontal axis and the quantity of product B on the vertical axis. The slope of the budget line is given by the formula:The slope of the budget line = - (price of the good on the horizontal axis) / (price of the good on the vertical axis).

       In this case, the slope = - (7 / 15).

After calculating, we get the slope as - 7/15 or approximately -0.467. This slope indicates the rate at which the consumer can trade product A for product B while staying within their budget.
