Jerry and his family will drive 1,022 miles from Houston to Indianapolis for their summer vacation. They plan to drive between 425 and 475 miles each day. At this rate, which is a reasonable number of days it will take Jerry's family to reach Indianapolis?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The reasonable number of days to reach Indianapolis is 3 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance to be covered from Houston to Indianapolis, d= 1022 miles.

As they plan to drive between 425 and 475 miles/day, so the range of the rate of driving per day, r, is 425<r<475.

Let t day is the reasonable number of days to complete the journey.

As time = (distance)/(speed), so

[tex]t=\frac d r\cdots(i)[/tex]

The given range of the rate is

[tex]425<r<475[/tex]

If [tex]a>b[/tex], than [tex]1/a<1/b[/tex] for [tex]a,b\neq0[/tex];

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac {1}{425}>\frac {1}{r} >\frac{1}{475}[/tex]

If a>b, the for any [tex]\alpha>0[/tex],  [tex]a\alpha>b\alpha[/tex], so multiply the above equation by [tex]d[/tex], we have

[tex]\frac {d}{425}>\frac {d}{r} >\frac{d}{475}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac {d}{425}>t >\frac{d}{475}[/tex]  [from equation (i)]

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac {1022}{425}>t >\frac{1022}{475}[/tex] [given, d=1022 miles]

[tex]\Rightarrow \frac {1022}{425}>t >\frac{1022}{475}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 2.40>t >2.15[/tex]

So, to cover the distance of 1022 miles, with the speed in between 425 miles/day and 475 miles/day, Jerry's family will take in between 2.40 days and 2.15 days. This means, for the given speed range, they need 2 complete days and some fraction of 3rd day to reach Indianapolis.

Hence, the reasonable number of days to reach Indianapolis is 3 days.

Triangle Z prime is the image of triangle Z after a series of transformations.

On a coordinate plane, triangle Z has points (0, 2), (2, 6), (4, 2). Triangle Z prime has points (negative 2, 3), (negative 1, 5), (0, 3).

Aliyah and Ivan described the sequence of transformations in different ways.

Aliyah’s Sequence
Ivan’s Sequence

1. a reflection of triangle Z across the y-axis
2. a dilation by a scale factor of One-half with the origin as the center of dilation

3. a translation 2 units up
1. a dilation of triangle Z by a scale factor of One-half with the origin as the center of dilation

2. a translation of 2 units up and 2 units to the left

Which sequence or sequences are correct and why?
Only Aliyah is correct. A dilation and translation alone could not produce triangle Z prime .
Only Ivan is correct because the dilation must be the first step in the sequence.
Both Aliyah and Ivan are correct because both chose the correct scale factor for the dilation and both describe other transformations that would produce triangle Z prime.
Neither Aliyah nor Ivan is correct because the scale factor they chose for the dilation is incorrect.

The cost c in dollars to rent a surfboard is proportional to the number of hours H it cost you $30 to rent a surfboard for five hours this situation is c equals

Answers

Answer:

c = 6H

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question showing that there is a direct variation between the cost, c, and hours, H.

So that;

c ∝ H

∝ is the proportionality sign

c = kH

where k is a constant of proportionality.

Thus, given that c = $30 and H = 5 hours, then;

30 = k x 5

30 = 5k

Divide both sides by 5 to have;

k = [tex]\frac{30}{5}[/tex]

k = 6

For this situation, since k = 6; then,

c = 6H

A bag contains 15 marbles. The probability of randomly selecting a green marble is One-third. The probability of randomly selecting a green marble, replacing it, and then randomly selecting a red marble is StartFraction 1 over 15 EndFraction. What is the probability of randomly selecting a red marble

Answers

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Number of Marbles in the bag = 15

The probability of randomly selecting a green marble is 1/3

The probability of randomly selecting a green marble, replacing it, and then randomly selecting a red marble = 1/15

The probability of randomly selecting a green marble, replacing it, and then randomly selecting a red marble is calculated as

The probability of randomly selecting a green marble × The probability of randomly selecting a red marble

Hence:

1/15 = 1/3 × R

1/15 = R/3

Cross Multiply

R × 15 = 1 × 3

R= 3/15

R= 1/5

Hence, the probability of randomly selecting a red marble is 1/5

Both loans involve simple interest with an annual interest rate of 6.5%. If Mr. Fitch applies for the 5-year loan, how much more will he pay in interest than with the 3-year loan? F. $704.98 G. $565.24 H. $2,260.96 J. $56,524.00

Answers

Answer: g

Step-by-step explanation:

4348x.065=282.62

282.62x5=1413.1

282.62x3=847.86

1413.1-847.86=565.24

Compared to a 3-year loan he has to pay G. $565.24 more for a 5-year loan.

What is simple interest?

We know simple interest (SI) is given by SI = (p×r×t)/100, where

p = principle, r = rate in percentage, and t = time in years.

Given, Mr. Fitch needs to get a loan to replace the air-conditioning system.

He can apply for a 5- year loan or a 3-year loan. Both loans involve simple interest with an annual interest rate of 6.5%.

Here, p = $4,348.00, r = 6.5%, t₃ = 3 and t₅ = 5.

For, t₃.

SI₃ = (4348×6.5×3)/100.

SI₃ = $847.86.

For, t₅.

SI₅ = (4348×6.5×5)/100.

SI₅ = $1,413.1.

So, the amount of interest he will have to pay more is (SI₅ - SI₃).

=  $(1,413.1 - 847.86).

= $565.24.

Let f(x) = 5x - 10 and g(x) = x2 - 7. Find f(g(8)).

Answers

Answer:

275

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = x²-7 ⇒ g(8) = 8² - 7 =57

f(x) = 5x -10 ⇒ f(g(8)) = f(57) = 5.57-10 = 275

Answer:

275

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find g(8).

g(x) = x^2 - 7

g(8) = 8^2 - 7

g(8) = 64 - 7

g(8) = 57

Now find f(g(8)).

f(x) = 5x - 20

f(g(8)) = f(57)

f(57) = 5(57) - 10

f(57) = 285 - 10

f(57) = 275

Answer: f(g(8)) = 275

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x^2) – 10x = 8

3(x^2) – 10x - 8 = 0

(3x + 2)(x - 4) = 0

(3x + 2) = 0

Answer:

x = -2/3, 4

move all terms to one side

3x^2 - 10x - 8 = 0

split the terms in 3x^2-10x-8 into two terms

3x^2+2x-12x-8=0

factor out common terms in first to and last to

Find $\left[\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)^{12} \left(\frac{3}{16}\right)^{-8}\right] \cdot \left[\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)^{12} \left(\frac{3}{16}\right)^{-8}\right]^{-1}$

Answers

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression [tex]\left[\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)^{12} \left(\frac{3}{16}\right)^{-8}\right] \cdot \left[\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)^{12} \left(\frac{3}{16}\right)^{-8}\right]^{-1}[/tex]

According to indices:

[tex]a^{-1} = \frac{1}{a}[/tex]

Applying this to the question:

[tex]\left[\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)^{12} \left(\frac{3}{16}\right)^{-8}\right]^{-1} = \frac{1}\left\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)^{12} \left(\frac{3}{16}\right)^{-8}\right}[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]\left[\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)^{12} \left(\frac{3}{16}\right)^{-8}\right] \cdot \left[\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)^{12} \left(\frac{3}{16}\right)^{-8}\right]^{-1} = \frac{\left[\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)^{12} \left(\frac{3}{16}\right)^{-8}\right]}{\left[\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)^{12} \left(\frac{3}{16}\right)^{-8}\right]} \\\\\left[\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)^{12} \left(\frac{3}{16}\right)^{-8}\right] \cdot \left[\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)^{12} \left(\frac{3}{16}\right)^{-8}\right]^{-1} = 1[/tex]
