I have this math problem I can't solve.
"Evelyn and Meredith decided to kayak 1 mile up and then back in the Humboldt channel.
The rate of the water flowing in the channel was 2 miles per hour. The total time it took them to kayak up and back was 3 hours and 40 minutes. Assuming they were padding their double kayak at a fairly consistent rate, find the rate Evelyn and Meredith were paddling.
Step 2 - Draw a picture to model the problem.
Step 3 - Label variables and create a table.
Step 4 - Write an equation to model the problem.
Step 5 - Solve the equation. Provide supporting work and detail.
Step 6 - Explain the results."
If you can help please do.
Answers
Evelyn and Meredith were paddling at a rate of [tex]\frac{3+\sqrt{493}}{11}mph[/tex] which is equivalent to 2.29mph approximately.
Step 2: See attached picture
Step 3: In this case we only have different variables, there is the rate at which Evelyn and Meredith were paddling, the rate at which they moved when rowing upstream, the rate at which they moved when rowing downstream, the time it took them to paddle upstream and the time it took them to paddle downstream.
v = rate at which Evelyn and Meredith were paddling.
[tex]v_{up}[/tex]= velocity at which they were moving when paddling upstream.
[tex]v_{down}[/tex]= velocity at which they were moving when paddling downstreamstream.
[tex]t_{up}[/tex]= time it took them paddling upstream.
[tex]t_{down}[/tex]= time it took them paddling downstream
Se attached picture for the table.
Step 4: Building this equation will require us to combine different equations into a single one. Let's start with the equation for the final rate at which they paddled when rowing upstream.
[tex]v-2=v_{up}[/tex]
When rowing upstream, the current will drag the kayak, so we subtract it from the rate at which they were rowing.
Let's find the final rat at which they moved when rowing downstream.
[tex]v+2=v{down}[/tex]
next, the problem tells us it took them 3 hours and 40 minutes to row up and down the channel so we can convert it into just hours like this:
[tex]40min*\frac{1hr}{60min}=\frac{2}{3}hr[/tex]
[tex]3hr+\frac{2}{3}hr=\frac{11}{3}hr[/tex]
so now we can build our equation for time.
[tex]t_{up}+t_{down}=\frac{11}{3}[/tex]
We also know that the rate is built by dividing the distance over the time it took them to travel the distance, so:
[tex]v_{up}=\frac{1}{t_{up}}[/tex]
[tex]v_{down}=\frac{1}{t_{down}}[/tex]
If we solved each of those equations for their respective times, we would end up with the following:
[tex]t_{up}=\frac{1}{v_{up}}[/tex]
[tex]t_{down}=\frac{1}{v_{down}}[/tex]
so we can now combine all the equations together so we get:
[tex]t_{up}+t_{down}=\frac{11}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{v_{up}}+\frac{1}{v_{down}}=\frac{11}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{v-2}+\frac{1}{v+2}=\frac{11}{3}[/tex]
So this equation models the problem.
Step 5: We can solve this equation by multiplying everything by the LCD
In this case the LCD is:
3(v-2)(v+2)
so, when doing the respective multiplications we end up with:
[tex]\frac{3(v-2)(v+2)}{v-2}+\frac{3(v-2)(v+2)}{v+2}=\frac{11(3)(v-2)(v+2)}{3}[/tex]
We can now simplify to get:
3(v+2)+3(v-2)=11(v+2)(v-2)
We can now do the respective multiplications to get:
[tex]3v+6+3v-6=11(v^{2}-4)[/tex]
and we can further simplify:
[tex]6v=11v^{2}-44[/tex]
Step 5: So we can now solve it by using the quadratic formula, first, we need to rewrite the equation in standard form:
[tex]11v^{2}-6v-44=0[/tex]
So we can now use the quadratic formula:
[tex]v=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]
we substitute:
[tex]v=\frac{-(-6) \pm \sqrt{(-6)^{2}-4(11)(-44)}}{2(11)}[/tex]
and simplify:
[tex]v=\frac{6 \pm \sqrt{36+1936}}{22}[/tex]
[tex]v=\frac{6 \pm \sqrt{1972}}{22}[/tex]
[tex]v=\frac{6 \pm \sqrt{4(493)}}{22}[/tex]
[tex]v=\frac{6 \pm 2\sqrt{493}}{22}[/tex]
[tex]v=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{493}}{11}[/tex]
this gives us two possible results:
[tex]v=\frac{3 + \sqrt{493}}{11}[/tex] and [tex]v=\frac{3 - \sqrt{493}}{11}[/tex]
Step 6: We only pick the first result since it's the positive result. We don't take the second one because a negative result represents the kayak moving in the opposite direction which is not how the situation was modeled.

Answers
Answer:
x=50
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the triangle as a whole. This is a 30-60-90 triangle by speculation. You can see that the hypotenuse is equal to 100. By using sine (you can use cosine as well) , you get the expression, "(sin 30 degrees) = x/100" since sin is the opposite side over the hypotenuse. Do some basic trigonometry to get "1/2 = x/100". By now, you should know that 50/100 is the same as 1/2.

Answer:
x = 240
Step-by-step explanation:
Apply the leg rule to find the value of x.
Leg rule is given as:
Hypotenuse/leg 1 = leg 1/part 1
Hypotenuse = 400
Leg 1 = x
Part 1 = 144
Plug in the known values into the formula
400/x = x/144
Cross multiply
x*x = 144*400
x² = 57,600
Take the square root of both sides
√x² = √57,600
x = 240

(-6) + 6 = 0
Which scenario could represent this equation?
Answers
There are many answers we could go with here. One such answer could be the following:
You are 6 meters below the ocean surface doing a deep sea dive. This is represented by -6. Then going up 6 meters means you'll add on 6 to say (-6)+6 = 0, showing that you are at the 0 meter height, aka sea level.
---------------------------------
Another possible answer could be this:
You are 6 dollars in debt. Debt is represented with negative numbers. You then somehow get 6 dollars in which you use to pay off that debt. Your balance is now (-6) + 6 = 0 dollars.
---------------------------------
Another possible answer could be this:
Walking to the left is defined as moving in a negative direction. So -6 could mean we've moved 6 feet to the left. On the flip side, +6 means we move 6 feet to the right. The two cancel each other out (-6)+6 = 0 which says at the end of the day, we haven't moved anywhere. In other words, our displacement is 0 feet.

What is the smallest number, which is neither prime nor a square and that has no prime factor smaller than 100?
Answers
Answer:
10403.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the smallest number that isn't prime and doesn't any factors smaller than 100, we need to multiply the 2 smallest prime numbers greater than 100. The smallest prime number greater than 100 is 101, but we cannot multiply 101 by itself, as the number would become a square. Because of this, we need to multiply 101 by the next smallest prime number, which is 103.
After multiplying 101 by 103, we get 10403.
To check our answer, we can verify each point.
10403 is not prime, as it has 2 factors, 101 and 103.
10403 is not square, as the square root of 10403 is 101.9951.
10403 has 2 factors 101 and 103, both of which are greater than 100.
Phoebe took a survey of her classmates' favorite sport. The results are in the table below:
What is the relative frequency of survey members who prefer football?
Answers
Answer:
.14
Step-by-step explanation:
The relative frequency that favors football is around 0.14, or 14%.
Given that Phoebe took a survey of her classmates' favorite sport.
We need to find the relative frequency of survey members who prefer football,
Preferred sports =
Football baseball basketball tennis others total
4 5 8 7 4 28
To calculate the relative frequency of survey members who prefer football, you need to divide the number of people who prefer football by the total number of survey respondents.
According to the table, the number of people who prefer football is 4, and the total number of respondents is 28.
Relative Frequency = Number of people who prefer football / Total number of respondents
= 4 / 28
≈ 0.14
Therefore, the relative frequency of survey members who prefer football is approximately 0.14 or 14%.

Un grupo de estudiantes se junta a celebrar el termino del semestre, para lo que acuerdan preoarar un curanto. Reunen todos los ingredientes y los ponen en una olla y le aplican fuego hasta que esta alcanza una temperatura de 175°C. En este momento retiran la olla del fuego y queda expuesta a la temperatura ambiental, que es de 12°C
Answers
Answer:
El problema esta incompleto, pero es facil ver que se desea estudiar el enfriamiento de la olla.
Sabemos que la ecuación de enfriamiento de Newton es:
[tex]T (t) = T_s + (T_0 - T_s)*e^{-k*t}[/tex]
Donde t es el tiempo.
[tex]T_s[/tex] es la temperatura del ambiente, en este caso es 12°C
[tex]T_0[/tex] es la temperatura inicial del objeto, en este caso 175°C
k es una constante, que es lo que usualmente se pide obtener en este tipo de problemas.
Reemplazando esos valores en nuestra ecuación obtenemos:
[tex]T(t) = 12 + (175 - 12)*e^{-k*t}\\\\T(t) = 12 + (163)*e^{-k*t}[/tex]
Ahora se nos dice:
"Luego de 10 minutos, la temperatura de la olla será de 100°C"
(estos valores no son necesariamente los del problema, son unos valores genéricos para poder mostrar como se resuelve este tipo de ejercicio)
Entonces, T(10 min) = 100°C
Reemplazando eso en nuestra ecación, obtenemos:
[tex]T(10 min) = 100 = 12 + (163)*e^{-k*10min}[/tex]
Ahora podemos despejar el valor de k resolviendo la ecuación de arriba.
[tex]100 - 12 = (163)*e^{-k*10min}\\\\88 = (163)*e^{-k*10min}\\\\88/163 = e^{{-k*10min}[/tex]
Ahora podemos recordar que:
ln(e^x) = x
Entonces aplicando el logaritmo natural a ambos lados, obtenemos:
[tex]ln(88/163) = ln(e^{-k*10min}) = -k*10min\\\\ln(88/163)/(-10 min) = k = 0.062 min^{-1}[/tex]
Así hemos encontrado el valor de k, y con exactamente el mismo método podríamos encontrar k en cualquier situación de este tipo.

The mean score of 7 boys and 16 girls is 49. If the scores of the boys are 42,85,47,29,58,54and 72, find the mean score of the girls
Answers
Answer:
[tex]\bar x_{girls} = 46.25[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Boys = 7\\Girls = 16[/tex]
[tex]\bar x = 49[/tex]
Required
Mean of girls
The mean of the boys and girls is calculated as:
[tex]\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]\bar x = \frac{\sum(boys) + \sum(girls)}{boys + girls}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]49= \frac{42+85+47+29+58+54+ 72 + \sum(girls)}{7 + 16}[/tex]
[tex]49= \frac{387 + \sum(girls)}{23}[/tex]
Cross multiply
[tex]23 * 49=387 + \sum(girls)[/tex]
[tex]1127=387 + \sum(girls)[/tex]
Subtract by 387
[tex]1127-387 = \sum(girls)[/tex]
[tex]740= \sum(girls)[/tex]
[tex]\sum(girls) = 740[/tex]
The mean of girls is:
[tex]\bar x_{girls} = \frac{\sum(girls)}{girls}[/tex]
[tex]\bar x_{girls} = \frac{740}{16}[/tex]
[tex]\bar x_{girls} = 46.25[/tex]
