The amount of time it takes a swimmer to swim a race is inversely proportional to the average speed of the swimmer. A swimmer finishes a race in 25 seconds with an average speed of 6 feet per second. Find the average speed of the swimmer if it takes 50 seconds to finish the race.

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3 feet per second

Step-by-step explanation:

If the time is multiplied by 2, the inverse relationship tells you the speed is multiplied by 1/2.

  (1/2)(6 ft/s) = 3 ft/s

The swimmer's average speed is 3 ft/s.

Brandon is on one side of a river that is 70 m wide and wants to reach a point 250 m downstream on the opposite side as quickly as possible by swimming diagonally across the river and then running the rest of the way. Find the minimum amount of time if Brandon can swim at 2 m/s and run at 6 m/s.

Answers

Answer:

The minimum amount of time required is 74.7 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question can be solved in two cases:

i. diagonal swimming of Brandon across the river

ii. Running of the rest distance by Brandon.

Case I: Since he would swim diagonally across the river, then the diagonal distance can be determined by applying appropriate trigonometric function.

Let the diagonal be represented by x, an included angle θ = [tex]45^{o}[/tex] is formed at his starting point (angle formed by the diagonal and the length of the width of the river).

So that:

Cos θ = [tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

Cos [tex]45^{o}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{70}{x}[/tex]

x = [tex]\frac{70}{Cos 45^{o} }[/tex]

  = 98.995

x = 99 m

The diagonal distance covered by Brandon is 99 m.

The time to cover this distance can be calculated by:

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

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

Given that his swimming rate is 2 m/s, then:

time = [tex]\frac{99}{2}[/tex]

        = 49.5

The time taken by Brandon to swim diagonally is 49.5 seconds.

Case II: Since he want to cover a total distance of 250 m;

remaining distance to be covered = 250 - 99

                                                         = 151

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

Given that he runs at 6 m/s, then;

time = [tex]\frac{151}{6}[/tex]

       = 25.1667

The time taken by Brandon to run the remaining distance is 25.2 seconds.

The minimum amount of time required = time taken by Brandon to swim diagonally + time taken by Brandon to run the remaining distance

                                 = 49.5 + 25.2

                                 = 74.7

The minimum amount of time required is 74.7 seconds.

Minimum amount of time to reach the desired point is   79.5 s

Brandon is on one side of a river

The width of the river =  70 m

Brandon wants to reach a point that is 250 m downstream of opposite side as quickly as possible by swimming diagonally across the river then running the rest of the way.

The swimming speed of Brandon =   2 m/s

The speed of running of Brandon = 6 m/s

Let us consider that the included angle be 45°

[tex]\rm cos \; \theta = \dfrac{70}{x} \\\\cos \; 45 = \dfrac{70}{x} \\\x = \dfrac{70}{0.707} \approx 99[/tex]

So the distance traveled by Brandon in water is 99 m

As the swimming speed of Brandon is given 2 m/s

So the time taken by Brandon to cross the river is given as follows

[tex]\rm Time = \dfrac{Distance}{Speed}[/tex]

[tex]\rm Time \; to\; cross\; the\; river = \dfrac{99}{2} = 49.5 \; s[/tex]

Let the horizontal distance covered by Brandon by swimming is H

So from Pythagorean theorem we can write

[tex]\rm H = \sqrt{99^2 -70^2 } = 70[/tex]

The distance that is left to be traveled by running is  250 - 70 = 180 m  

So  Time taken in running to reach the point by running = 180/6 = 30 s

So the  time to reach the desired point = 49.5 + 30 =   79.5 s

[tex](f \circ g)(x) = x+12[/tex]

Domain = [-3, infinity)

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

Work Shown:

[tex]f(x) = x^2 + 9\\\\f(g(x)) = (g(x))^2 + 9\\\\f(g(x)) = (\sqrt{x+3})^2 + 9\\\\f(g(x)) = x+3 + 9\\\\f(g(x)) = x+12\\\\(f \circ g)(x) = x+12\\\\[/tex]

In step 2, we replaced every x with g(x)

In step 3, we plugged in g(x) = sqrt(x+3)

The domain of g(x) is [-3, infinity), so this is the domain of [tex](f \circ g)(x)[/tex] as well since the composite function depends entirely on g(x). Put another way: the input of f(x) depends on the output of g(x), so that's why the domains match up.

The sample size is, n = 40.

The significance level is:

[tex]\alpha =1-0.95=0.05[/tex]

Find AB, HB and Area of triangle ABC

Answers

Answer:

hb=4√3

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

AB = 8, HB = 6, Area of ∆ABC = 8[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex], Perimeter of ∆ABC = 12 + 4[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find AB:

∆ABC is an 30,60,90∆

Using the theorem, you can find AB = 2AC = 2*4 = 8

AB = 8

To find HB:

You need to find AH to subtract from AB

Construct CH, a perpendicular bisector to side AB

From before you can put together that m∠CAB = 60°

∆ACH is an 30,60,90∆

Using this method again, AH = AC/2 = 4/2 = 2

Then you subtract AH from AB = 8-2 = 6

HB = 6

To find the area of ∆ABC:

You use the (base*height)/2 method

base = AB = 8

to find the height, CH, you need to use the Pytha Theorem

and get [tex]AH^{2}+CH^{2}=AC^{2}[/tex]

then substitute, and get [tex]2^{2} + CH^{2} = 4^{2}[/tex]

calculate and get CH = 2[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]

then the height = CH =  2[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]

solve the area and get

Area of ∆ABC = 8[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]

(optional perimeter)

to find perimeter of ∆ABC:

you add AC + CB + AB

you find CB by using opposite to 30°

CB = CH*2 = 2[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]*2 = 4[tex]\sqrt3}[/tex]

so AC + CB + AB = 4 + 4[tex]\sqrt3}[/tex] + 8

Perimeter of ∆ABC = 12 + 4[tex]\sqrt3}[/tex]

A cylindrical container can hold 4 quarts of water if its radius and height are both tripled how much water can it hold?

Answers

Answer:

108quartz

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

r is the radius

h is the height

If A cylindrical container can hold 4 quarts of water, then;

4 = πr²h ...... 1

Let the volume be x of the radius and height at tripled

h1 = 3h

r1 = 3r

X = πr1²h1

X = π(3r)²(3h)

X = 9πr²(3h)

X = 27πr²h .... 2

Divide 1 by 2

4/x = πr²h/27πr²h

4/x = 1/27

Cross multiply

x = 4×27

x = 108

Hence the container can hold 108quartz of water of the radius and height was tripled.

Find the coordinates of the intersection of the graph of the line y=2x−6 with coordinate axes.

Find the x and y intercept

Please help it's due in 5 minutes

Answers

Answer:

x-intercept = 3

y-intercept = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The intersection of the line with the x-axis is known as the x-intercept and it's calculated by making y = 0.

Also, the intersection of the line with the y-axis is known as the y-intercept and it's calculated by making x = 0.  

Given the following data;

Equation of straight line is [tex]y = 2x - 6[/tex]

To find the intersection;

When y = 0, the equation crosses the x-axis.

y = 0;

Substituting into the equation, we have;

0 = 2x - 6

2x = 6

x = 6/2 = 3

x = 3

(x, y) = (3, 0) on the x-axis.

When x = 0, the equation crosses the y-axis.

x = 0;

Substituting into the equation, we have;

y = 2(0) - 6

y = 0 - 6

y = -6.

(x, y) = (0, -6) on the y-axis.

Therefore, the coordinates of the intersection of the graph is (3, 0) and (0, -6).

MNO and MPO are isosceles triangles. Find angle t​

Answers

Answer:

t = 20°

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the base angles of an isosceles ∆ are equal to each other.

This means that:

<NMO and <NOM of ∆MNO are congruent to each other.

Thus,

m<NMO = ½(180 - m<N) = ½(180 - 70)

m<NMO = ½(110)

m<NMO = 55°

Also, <PMO and <POM are congruent to each other. Thus:

m<PMO = ½(180 - m<P) = ½(180 - 110)

m<PMO = ½(70)

m<PMO = 35°

Therefore,

m<NMO = t + m<PMO (angle addition postulate)

55° = t + 35° (substitution)

Subtract 35 from each side

55° - 35° = t

20° = t

t = 20°
