You are wakeboarding on a river. You travel 2 miles downstream to a marina for supplies, and then you travel 3 miles upstream to a dock. The boat travels x miles per hour during the entire trip, and the river current is 3 miles per hour.


How long will the trip take when then speed of the boat is 18 miles per hour? Round to the nearest tenth minute.

Answers

Answer 1

Let x represent the speed of of boat.

We have been given that the river current is 3 miles per hour.  

The speed of boat upstream will be [tex]x-3[/tex].

The speed of boat downstream would be [tex]x+3[/tex].

[tex]\text{Time}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}[/tex]

We have been given that you travel 2 miles downstream to a marina for supplies, and then you travel 3 miles upstream to a dock.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

[tex]\text{Time}=\frac{2}{x+3}+\frac{3}{x-3}[/tex]

Since the speed of the boat is 18 miles per hour, so we will substitute [tex]x=18[/tex] in above equation and solve for time.

[tex]\text{Time}=\frac{2}{18+3}+\frac{3}{18-3}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Time}=\frac{2}{21}+\frac{3}{15}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Time}=\frac{2}{21}+\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Time}=\frac{2\cdot 5}{21\cdot 5}+\frac{1\cdot 21}{5\cdot 21}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Time}=\frac{10}{105}+\frac{21}{105}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Time}=\frac{31}{105}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Time}=0.295238095[/tex]

Since time is in hours, so let us convert our given time in minutes.

1 hour = 60 minutes.

[tex]\text{Time}=0.295238095\times 60\text{ minutes}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Time}=17.7142857\text{ minutes}[/tex]

Rounding to nearest tenth of minute.

[tex]\text{Time}\approx 17.7\text{ minutes}[/tex]

Therefore, it will take approximately 17.7 minutes for the boat to take the trip.

To the nearest cubic inch, what is the volume of the
right triangular prism?

Answers

Answer:

The Volume of right triangular prism is 240 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of right triangular prism =[tex]\text{Area of base} \times height[/tex]

In triangle ABC

AC = Hypotenuse = 13 in.

AB = Height

BC = Base = 12 in.

Using Pythagoras theorem

[tex]Hypotenuse^2=Perpendicular^2+base^2\\13^2=Perpendicular^2+12^2\\\sqrt{13^2-12^2}=Perpendicular[/tex]

5=Perpendicular

Area of base = [tex]\frac{1}{2} \times Base \times Height = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 5 = 30 in^2[/tex]

Height of prism = 8 in

Volume of right triangular prism =[tex]\text{Area of base} \times height[/tex]

Volume of right triangular prism =[tex]30 \times 8 = 240 in^3[/tex]

Hence The Volume of right triangular prism is 240 cubic inches

6% of it is 27
I need help. Someone please give me a explanation of how to do this.

Answers

Answer:

You take 6% of a number and the resulting number is 27.

To do this you need to change the percent into a fraction.

6% = 6/100

This is the number you need to multiply to the number you need to find, A.

6/100 A = 27

Solve for x

6 A = 27x100

A= 2700/6

A = 450

Check your answer:

6/100 (A) = 27

6/100 (450) = 27

(6x450) /100 = 27

2700 / 100 = 27

27 = 27

Answers

Answer:

(2a -5)²(3a -4b)(3a +4b)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of factored forms that are used here:

  (a +b)² = a² +2ab +b² . . . . the sign of "2ab" will match the sign of b

  a² -b² = (a -b)(a +b)

__

Part A:

 Since this trinomial is known to be a perfect square, you can find the binomial(s) by looking at the roots of the first and last terms.

  √(4a²) = 2a

  √25 = 5

The factoring is ...

  4a² -20a +25 = (2a -5)²

__

Part B:

This is the difference of perfect squares, so the terms of the factors can be found as in the previous part.

  √(9a²) = 3a

  √(16b²) = 4b

Using the above factored form, we have ...

  9a² -16b² = (3a -4b)(3a +4b)

D. Cubed root of 2 (cos(260°) + isin(260°))

Answers

If you raise a cube root of -2 to the third power, the resulting number will have a congruent argument. We have

-2 = 2(cos 180º + i sin 180º)

Pick a number from the 4 given options, and raise it to the third power using DeMoivre's theorem. For example,

[tex]\left(\sqrt[3]{2}\left(\cos90^\circ+i\sin90^\circ\right)\right)^3=2\left(\cos(3\cdot90^\circ)+i\sin(3\cdot90^\circ)\right)=2(\cos270^\circ+i\sin270^\circ)=-2i[/tex]

so the first option is not a cube root of -2 because the argument 270º is not congruent to 180º. Similarly, the second and fourth options are also not cube roots of -2.

On the other hand,

[tex]\left(\sqrt[3]{2}(\cos60^\circ+i\sin60^\circ)\right)^3=2(\cos180^\circ+i\sin180^\circ)[/tex]

so the third option is a cube root of -2.

Answer: 1.85 + x = 5.30

Step-by-step explanation: If we know that Ethan planted a tree that was 1.85 meters tall from the start and several years later it's 5.30 meters tall, we know that something must have been added to the 1.85 in order to get 5.30 meters tall. Since we don't know what that value is, we can use x.

X is an example of a variable. A variable is just a letter that represents any number so in this case, it represents how much the tree has grown over a time period of several years.

So we can write this as 1.85 + x = 1.30.

the planet's surface). What type of relationship exists between the altitude and the atmospheric density, and what would the atmospheric

density be at an altitude of 1.291 kilometers?

Answers

Answer:

The relationship that exist between the altitude and the atmospheric density is an inverse relationship.

[tex]D = \frac{k}{1291} kg/m^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

since the density of the atmosphere decreases as the altitude increases, the relationship that exist between the altitude and the atmospheric density is an inverse relationship. This can be represented by:

[tex]D = \frac{k}{H}[/tex], where k is the constant, H is the altitude in meters and D is the atmospheric density in kg/m.³

You start with $1000 and every day you will receive the previous day’s total plus an additional $1000 a day for 30 days. How much money will you have after 30 days?




Answers

Answer: After 30 days, you would have $30,000

Step-by-step explanation: The question clearly gives us a progression which is best described as an arithmetic progression, that is, every term (or every day's amount of money) is determined by adding a fixed amount to what you already have from the previous term (or previous day).

In order to determine the amount earned after a given number of days, we will begin by determining a formula that can be suited for calculating all through any given number of days.

The first amount is fixed already, and we shall call that a. So a equals 1000. The amount added to that is 1000, so for day 2, you shall have 1000 plus 1000 which gives you 2000. The amount added we shall call d, so for day one you earned 1000, for day two you earned 1000 plus 1000. For day three you will earn 2000 plus 1000, which gives you 3000.

Having taken day one as a, and each successive 1000 as d, observe the following trend;

Day 1 = a

Day 2 = a + d

Day 3 = a + (3 - 1)d  which gives you a + 2d

Since the first day has been represented by a, the third day shall be less by one common difference which is d. Hence the formula for day n can be expressed as follows;

Day ₙ = a + (n - 1)d

Where n is the number of days, the nth day shall be less by 1 since the term already includes day 1, which is the first term, hence every term shall always be less by 1. In other words, the 30th day (or 30th term) shall be less by 1 shown as follows

Day 30 = 1000 + (30 - 1) 1000

Day 30 = 1000 + (29 x 1000)

Day 30 = 1000 + 29000

Day 30 = 30000

Answer:

You would get 1000 everyday because you would get the previous day, you would have 30,000

Jackson at the collectibles fair. He has exactly $8 and will purchase a collectible from a vendor for $5. What percent of his money will Jackson spend on the purchase?

Answers

Answer:

62.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total money with Jackson = $8

Money spent for buying collectible  = $5

__________________________________________________

Percentage of any number A with respect to another number B is calculated by multiplying fraction A/B with 100

Numerically A as percentage of b will be expressed as (A/B)100 %

It means that if there are 100 items instead of B item then what will be the value of A.

______________________________________________________

Percentage of money spent = (Money spent for buying collectible /Total money with Jackson)

Substituting the total money and money spent for buying collectible

we have

Percentage of money spent  = 5/8 * 100 = 0.625*100 = 62.5%

Thus, 62.5% percent of his money will Jackson spend on the purchase of collectible.

Answers

Let c represent amount of commission and s represent amount of sales.

We have been given that Lee sells electronics. He earns a 5% commission on each sale he makes.

A. We are asked to find the constant of proportionality.

First of all, we will write our given equation as direct proportion. We know that two proportional quantities are in form [tex]y=kx[/tex], where y is directly proportional to x and k represents constant of proportionality.

We can represent our given information in an equation as:

[tex]c=\frac{5}{100}s[/tex]

[tex]c=0.05s[/tex]

Therefore, constant of proportionality is [tex]0.05[/tex].

B. To find amount of electronics sold by Lee, we will substitute [tex]c=100[/tex] in our equation an solve for s as:

[tex]100=0.05s[/tex]

[tex]\frac{100}{0.05}=\frac{0.05s}{0.05}[/tex]

[tex]2000=s[/tex]

Therefore, Lee must sell $2000 of electronics to make $100 commission.
