A bird leaves its nest and travels 20 miles per hour downwind for x hours. On the return trip, the bird travels 4 miles per hour slower and has 6 miles left after x hours.

a. What is the distance of the entire trip?

miles

b. How long does the entire trip take?

hours
minutes and
seconds

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answers are:

A) 60 miles; and B) 3.375 hours.

Explanation:

We will use the equation d = rt for this.

For the first leg of the trip, the bird travels 20 miles per hour for x hours.  This gives us the equation

d = 20x

For the return trip, the bird travels 4 miles per hour slower, so 20-4 = 16 miles per hour.  He also travels 6 miles less than the return distance, for x hours:

d-6 = 16x

To isolate d, we will add 6 to each side:

d-6+6 = 16x+6

d = 16x+6

We will set the two equations equal to one another, since they both equal d:

20x = 16x+6

Subtract 16x from each side:

20x-16x = 16x+6-16x

4x = 6

Divide both sides by 4:

4x/4 = 6/4

x = 1.5

He travels for 1.5 hours both times.

The first time, 1.5 hours at 20 miles per hour is:

d = 1.5(20) = 30 miles

The original trip is 30 miles.  This makes the entire trip 30(2) = 60 miles.

On the return trip, he travels 30-6 = 24 miles at 16 miles per hour:

24 = 16x

Divide both sides by 16:

24/16 = 16x/16

1.5 = x

If he goes 24 miles in 1.5 hours at 16 miles per hour, we can use a proportion to find the time it takes for the entire return trip:

24/1.5 = 30/x

Cross multiplying,

24*x = 1.5(30)

24x = 45

24x/24 = 45/24

x = 1.875

This gives him a total time of 1.5+1.875 = 3.375 hours

There are 10 pens in a box. There are x red pens in the box. All the other pens are blue. Jack takes at random two pens from the box. Find an expression, in terms of x, for the probability that Jack takes one pen of each colour. Give your answer in its simplest form.​

Answers

The probability that one of each color is selected is [tex]\frac{10x - x^2}{45}[/tex]

Probabilities

The probability of an event is the chances of the said event

The given parameters are:

Total  = 10Red = xBlue = 10 - x

Calculating the required probability

The probability that one of each color is selected is calculated as follows:

[tex]P = P(Blue) \times P(Red) + P(Red) \times P(Blue)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]P = \frac{10 - x}{10} \times \frac{x}{9} + \frac{x}{10} \times \frac{10 - x}{9}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]P = \frac{x(10 - x)}{90} +\frac{x(10 - x)}{90}[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]P = \frac{2x(10 - x)}{90}[/tex]

Simplify the above expression

[tex]P = \frac{x(10 - x)}{45}[/tex]

Expand

[tex]P = \frac{10x - x^2}{45}[/tex]

Hence, the probability that one of each color is selected is [tex]P = \frac{10x - x^2}{45}[/tex]

There are fewer than 30 students in the A-level mathematics class. One half of them
play the piano, one quarter play hockey and one seventh are in the school play.
How many of the students play hockey?

Answers

The number of students that play hockey is 7

The proportion is given as:

[tex]Piano =\frac 12[/tex]

[tex]Hockey =\frac 14[/tex]

[tex]School\ Play =\frac 17[/tex]

The total number of students must be a multiple of 2, 4 and 7 less than 30;

The only multiple of 2, 4 and 7 less than 30 is 28.

The number of students that play hockey is the product of 28 and the proportion that plays hockey.

So, we have:

[tex]Hockey =\frac 14 \times 28\\[/tex]

Multiply

[tex]Hockey =7[/tex]

Hence, 7 students play hockey

Given a parabola with the

is another point on the parabola
located at (3,7), What is the
equation of the parabola in Vertex
form?

Answers

Answer:

The equation is 2/25(x + 2)^2 + 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

WE can write the vertex form as

y = a(x - b)^2 + c     where a is some constant and (b, c) are the coordinates of the vertex.

So here we have:

y = a(x + 2)^2 + 5

As (3, 7) is a point oin the curve:

7 = a(3 + 2)^2 + 5

7 = 25a + 5

a = 2/25.

Prism A and Prism B have the same volume. Which could be the dimensions of Prism B?
Prism A:
length = 8 feet
width = 4 feet
height = 5 feet Prism B:
length=? feet
width=? feet
height=? feet

Answers

Answer:

length = 20 ftwidth = 20 ftheight = 0.4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of Prism A is ...

  V = LWH

  V = (8 ft)(4 ft)(5 f) = 160 ft³

Any set of dimensions that have a product of 160 ft³ will give a prism with the same volume. You could have, for example, ...

  length = 20 ft

  width = 20 ft

  height = 0.4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

Volume of prism = lwh

=> 8 × 4 × 5

=> 32 × 5

=> 160 ft³

So,

The possible length, height and width could be

Length = 10 ft

Breadth = 8 ft

Height = 2 ft

equivalent to 12 + 31 x 5 because of the
associative property.
Describe the associative property
in words.
Determine if Jacob is correct. Justify
your answer.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the associative property means that when you are adding OR multiplying you can group the numbers however you want

Jacob is wrong because (12 + 31) x 5 = 215 and 12 + 31 x 5 = 167

The associative property is when an equation can be rearranged without changing the answer.
Jacob is incorrect.
(12+31)x5=215
Because of PEMDAS, parenthesis are the first thing you have to solve for. 12+31=43. 43x5=215.
12+31x5=167
You would have to do 31x5 first because of PEMDAS, multiplication comes before addition. 31x5=155. 12+155=167.
