A boat takes 3 days to travel from town A to town B, but it takes 4 days to travel from town B to town A. If a motor-less raft is left alone in the water by town A, how long will it take for the raft to float to town B?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

24 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from A to B equals the distance from B to A.

Let the distance between A and B be d.

3 days = 72 hours

4 days = 96 hours

speed = distance/time

speeds are in miles per hour

speed from A to B = d/72

speed from B to A = d/96

difference in speeds:

d/72 - d/96 = d/288

The speed of the water is half of the difference.

speed = d/576

When the raft floats from A to B, it uses only the speed of the water.

d/576 / d/72 = 1/8

The speed of the water is 1/8 the overall speed of the trip from A to B, so traveling by the speed of the water alone must take 8 times longer than with the boat motor.

8 * 3 days = 24 days

A potato chip manufacturer produces bags of potato chips that are supposed to have a net weight of 326 grams. Because the chips vary in size, it is difficult to fill the bags to the exact weight desired. However, the bags pass inspection so long as the standard deviation of their weights is no more than 3 grams. A quality control inspector wished to test the claim that one batch of bags has a standard deviation of more than 3 grams, and thus does not pass inspection. If a sample of 21 bags of potato chips is taken and the standard deviation is found to be 4.1 grams, does this evidence, at the 0.025 level of significance, support the claim that the bags should fail inspection

Answers

When we take data at work, we always do it over a period of time. To me, just one sample set does not show enough data to come to that conclusion. Also it is one batch of bags. I think you would need to have an average of data from different batches & samples to prove your data is accurate and support your claim.

For what values of K does the equation (2k+1)x^2 +2x= 10x - 6 have two real and equal roots.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:For what values of does the equation (2 + 1) have two 2

+ 2 = 10 − 6

real and equal roots?

A quadratic equation that has 2 roots that are equal means that the discriminant  of the equation is 0. The value of k that makes the equation have 2 real and equal roots is [tex]k = \frac{5}{6}[/tex]

Given that:

[tex](2k + 1)x^2 + 2x = 10x - 6[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex](2k + 1)x^2 + 2x - 10x + 6 = 0[/tex]

[tex](2k + 1)x^2 - 8x + 6 = 0[/tex]

A quadratic equation is represented as:

[tex]ax^2 + bx + c = 0[/tex]

By comparison:

[tex]a=2k+1\\ b =-8\\\ c =6[/tex]

If an equation has 2 real and equal roots, then:

[tex]b^2 = 4ac[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex](-8)^2 = 4 \times (2k + 1) \times 6[/tex]

[tex]64 = 4 \times (2k + 1) \times 6[/tex]

Divide by 4

[tex]16 = (2k + 1) \times 6[/tex]

Divide by 6

[tex]\frac{16}{6} = (2k + 1)[/tex]

[tex]\frac{8}{3} = 2k + 1[/tex]

Subtract 2 from both sides

[tex]2k = \frac{8}{3} -1[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]2k = \frac{8-3}{3}[/tex]

[tex]2k = \frac{5}{3}[/tex]

Divide by 2

[tex]k = \frac{5}{6}[/tex]

Hence, the value of k that makes the equation have 2 real and equal roots is [tex]k = \frac{5}{6}[/tex]

now, putting x=12

y=kx

or, y=(3/2)×12

or, y=3×12/2

or, y=36/2

or, y=18

(b) let P=k/z

so, 4=k/200

when P = 10

P=k/z

or, 10=800/z

divide 111001 by 1101​

Answers

Based on the fact that you asked this three times and got the same answer three times, I suspect the interpretation made by the users that posted those answers was incorrect, and that you meant to ask about dividing in base 2.

We have

111001₂ = 1×2⁵ + 1×2⁴ + 1×2³ + 1×2⁰ = 57

1101₂ = 1×2³ + 1×2² + 1×2⁰ = 13

and 57/13 = (4×13 + 5)/13 = 4 + 5/13.

4 = 2² is already a power of 2, so we have

111001₂/1101₂ = 1×2² + 5/13

we just need to convert 5/13. To do this, we look for consecutive negative powers of 2 that 5/13 falls between, then expand 5/13 as the sum of the smaller power of 2 and some remainder term. For instance,

• 1/4 < 5/13 < 1/2, and

5/13 - 1/4 = (20 - 13)/52= 7/52

so that

5/13 = 1/4 + 7/52

or

5/13 = 1×2 ⁻² + 7/52

Then a partial conversion into base 2 gives us

111001₂/1101₂ = 1×2² + 1×2 ⁻² + 7/52

111001₂/1101₂ = 100.01₂ + 7/52

Continuing in this fashion, we find

• 1/8 < 7/52 < 1/4, and

7/52 = 1/8 + 1/104

==>   111001₂/1101₂ = 100.011₂ + 1/104

• 1/128 < 1/104 < 1/64, and

1/104 = 1/128 + 3/1664

==>   111001₂/1101₂ = 100.0110001₂ + 3/1664

• 1/1024 < 3/1664 < 1/512, and

3/1664 = 1/1024 + 11/13312

==>   111001₂/1101₂ = 100.0110001001₂ + 11/13312

• 1/2048 < 11/13312 < 1/1024, and

11/13312 = 1/2048 + 9/26624

==>   111001₂/1101₂ = 100.01100010011₂ + 9/26624

• 1/4096 < 9/26624 < 1/2048, and

9/26624 = 1/4096 + 5/53248

==>   111001₂/1101₂ = 100.011000100111₂ + 5/53248

and so on.

It turns out that this pattern repeats, so that

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{111001_2}{1101_2} = 100.\overline{011000100111}_2[/tex]

A model shows rays of sunlight that moves straight from the sun perpendicular to the surface of the earth are called angled ray.

What are angled rays?

In optics, a ray is an idealized geometrical model of light, obtained by choosing a curve that is perpendicular to the wavefronts of the actual light, and that points in the direction of energy flow.

An Angled ray can be described as a ray that is been formed when two rays are joined together at their starting point.
