1. A tortoise is running on a long, moving sidewalk. Her pedometer doesn't report her speed, but she knows that—since she got on—she's been running for 40 minutes and that she's traveled 3 kilometers. Unfortunately, she realizes she left her suitcase on the ground just before she got on the sidewalk. Since she's too short to climb over the handrails, she decides to turn around and run at the same speed back to her suitcase. If it takes her 2 hours to return to her suitcase, how fast (in kilometers per hour) was the moving sidewalk moving? How fast (in kilometers per hour) was the tortoise running?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the sidewalk speed q = 3km/hr

the tortoise speed p is 1.5 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

let the speed of the tortoise be p  & the speed of the sidewalk be q

she's been running for 40 minutes (40/60 = 2/3) and that she's travelled 3 kilometres

Thus,

p + q = [tex]\dfrac{3}{\dfrac{2}{3}}[/tex]

p + q = 9/2

p + q = 4.5 ----- (1)

when returning, she travelled 3km in 2 hours

i.e. -p + q = 3/2

-p + q = 1.5   ----- (2)

Thus, by using the elimination method for equation (1) and (2)

  p + q = 4.5  ----- (1)

-p + q   = 1.5 ----- (2)  

      2q =  6              

q = 6/2

q = 3 km/hr

From equation (1)

p + q = 4.5

p + 3 = 4.5

p = 4.5 - 3

p = 1.5 km/hr

Therefore, the sidewalk speed q = 3km/hr and the tortoise speed p is 1.5 km/hr

What is the range of the function f(x) = 1/2 x- 2 when the domain is { 2,4,6}

Answers

Answer:

The range of f(x) is:

[tex]y\in\{-1,0,1\}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain and Range

Given a function y=f(x), the domain of f(x) is the set of values that x can take and the range of f(x) is the set of values that f gets when x is in the domain.

We have the function:

[tex]\displaystyle f(x) = \frac{1}{2} x-2[/tex]

And the domain is

[tex]x\in\{2,4,6\}[/tex]

Compute the range by assigning each value of x:

For x=2:

[tex]\displaystyle f(2) = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 2-2=1-2=-1[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle f(2) = -1[/tex]

For x=4:

[tex]\displaystyle f(4) = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 4-2=2-2=0[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle f(4) = 0[/tex]

For x=6:

[tex]\displaystyle f(6) = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 6-2=3-2=1[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle f(6) = 1[/tex]

The range of f(x) is:

[tex]y\in\{-1,0,1\}[/tex]

The distance from Mason's house to Kevin's house is about 5 × 105 inches. The distance from Mason's house to Chloe's house is about 8 × 107 inches. The distance from Mason's house to Chloe's house is how many times as great as the distance from Mason's to Kevin's house?

Answers

Answer:

Distance from Mason's house to Chloe's house is 160 as great as the distance from Mason's to Kevin's house.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance from Mason's house to Chloe's house is x times as great as the distance from Mason's to Kevin's house.

Distance from Mason's house to Kevin's house= [tex]5 \times 10^5[/tex] inches.

Distance from Mason's house to Chloe's house =[tex]8 \times 10^7[/tex] inches

ATQ

[tex]8 \times 10^7= x \times 5 \times 10^5 \\\frac{8 \times 10^7}{5 \times 10^5}=x\\160=x[/tex]

So, distance from Mason's house to Chloe's house is 160 times as great as the distance from Mason's to Kevin's house.

Hence distance from Mason's house to Chloe's house is 160 as great as the distance from Mason's to Kevin's house.

A youth group is selling snacks to raise money to attend their convention. Amy sold 2 pounds of candy, 3 boxes of cookies and 1 can of popcorn for a total sale of $65. Brian sold 4 pounds of candy, 6 boxes of cookies and 3 cans of popcorn for a total sale of $140. Paulina sold 8 pounds of candy, 8 boxes of cookies and 5 cans of popcorn for a total sales of $250. What is the cost of each item

Answers

Answer:

The cost of a can of popcorn is $10.

The cost of a box of cookies is $5.

The cost of a can of popcorn is $20

Step-by-step explanation:

First you must propose a system of equations, a set of two or more equations with several unknowns in which you want to find the value of each unknown so that all the equations of the system are fulfilled.

Defining the variables:

x: cost of one pound of candyy: cost of a box of cookiesz: cost of a can of popcorn

Amy sold 2 pounds of candy, 3 boxes of cookies and 1 can of popcorn for a total sale of $65. Then:

2*x + 3*y + 1*z=65 Equation 1

Brian sold 4 pounds of candy, 6 boxes of cookies and 3 cans of popcorn for a total sale of $140. So:

4*x + 6*y + 3*z=140 Equation 2

Paulina sold 8 pounds of candy, 8 boxes of cookies and 5 cans of popcorn for a total sales of $250. Then:

8*x + 8*y + 5*z=250 Equation 3

Then the system of equations is formed by these three equations.

A method to solve a system of equations is by means of the substitution method, which consists of isolating one of the two unknowns in an equation to substitute it in the other equation.

Isolating z from Equation 1:

[tex]z=65-2*x-3*y[/tex] Equation 4

Replacing in Equation 2:

4*x + 6*y + 3*(65 -2*x-3*y)=140

4*x + 6*y + 195 - 6*x  - 9*y= 140

-2*x - 3*y=140-195

-2*x - 3*y=-55

2*x + 3*y= 55

and isolating x:

[tex]x=\frac{55-3*y}{2}[/tex] Equation 5

Replacing in Equation 4:

[tex]z=65-2*\frac{55-3*y}{2} -3*y[/tex]

z=65 - (55-3*y) - 3*y

z= 65 -55 + 3*y - 3*y

z= 10

So the cost of a can of popcorn is $10.

Replacing equation 5 and the value of z in equation 3:

8*[tex]\frac{55-3*y}{2}[/tex] + 8*y + 5*10=250

[tex]\frac{8}{2}[/tex]*(55 -3*y)+ 8*y + 5*10=250

4*(55 -3*y)+ 8*y + 5*10=250

4*55 - 4*3*y + 8*y + 50=250

220 - 12*y + 8*y + 50=250

-12*y + 8*y= 250 -220 - 50

-4*y= -20

[tex]y=\frac{-20}{-4}[/tex]

y= 5

So the cost of a box of cookies is $5.

Finally replacing the value of y in Equation 5 you get the value of x:

[tex]x=\frac{55-3*5}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{55-15}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{40}{2}[/tex]

x=20

Finally, the cost of a can of popcorn is $20

Consider the rule y = 5x + 7.
a. How many tiles are in Figure 0?
b. Which figure has 37 tiles?
c. In the equation y = mx + b, what do the letters m and b represent?

Answers

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the rule y = 5x + 7.

a. How many tiles are in Figure 0?

In figure 0, we let x=0

y = 5*0+7 = 0+7 = 7

b. Which figure has 37 tiles?

This means y = 37

37 = 5x+7

Subtract 7 from each side

37-7 = 5x+7-7

30 = 5x

Divide by 5

30/5 = 5x/5

6 =x

Figure 6 has 37 tiles

c. In the equation y = mx + b, what do the letters m and b represent?

m is the slope or how much it is increasing each time x increases by 1  and b is how much we start with when x =0
