Answer:
C. 2.0 < t < 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Diameter of track (D) = 2 miles, Average rate (A) = 3 miles per hour
A = distance/ time
time (t) = distance/A
distance around the track (circumference) = πD = 3.142 × 2 miles = 6.284 miles
t = 6.284miles/3miles/hour = 2.1 hour
Therefore, 2.0 < t < 2.5
A painting is covering up some of the tiles on the wall. The tiled wall is shaped like a rectangle . There are 28 square tiles on the whole wall. How many of the tiles are covered by the painting?
Answer:
The number of tiles are covered by the painting are 12.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
The painting is covering up some of the tiles on the wall as shown below:
Here it is given that there are 28 squares tiles on the wall.
Total tiles = Number of tiles covered by the painting - uncovered tiles
28 = Number of tiles covered by the painting - 16
Number of tiles covered by the painting = 28 - 16
Number of tiles covered by the painting = 12
Hence, the number of tiles are covered by the painting are 12.
A bank says you can do or your money in 10 years if you put 1000 in in a simple interest account.What annual interest rate does the bank Pay?
Answer:
[tex]r=10\%[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct question is
A bank says you can double your money in 10 years if you put $1,000 in a simple interest account. What annual interest rate does the bank pay?
we know that
The simple interest formula is equal to
[tex]A=P(1+rt)[/tex]
where
A is the Final Investment Value
P is the Principal amount of money to be invested
r is the rate of interest
t is Number of Time Periods
in this problem we have
[tex]t=10\ years\\ P=\$1,000\\ A=\$2,000\\r=?[/tex]
substitute in the formula above
[tex]2,000=1,000(1+10r)[/tex]
Solve for r
Divide by 1,000 both sides
[tex]2=1+10r[/tex]
Subtract 1 both sides
[tex]10r=2-1[/tex]
[tex]10r=1[/tex]
Divide by 10 both sides
[tex]r=1/10[/tex]
[tex]r=0.10[/tex]
Convert to percentage (multiply by 100)
[tex]r=0.10*100=10\%[/tex]
What conic section degenerates into a line?
Parabola
Hyperbola
Circle
Ellipse
I think it's Ellipse? I'm not sure though
Some degenerate parabola cases form a single straight line, while other cases form one pair of parallel lines.
A degenerate hyperbola forms two lines that intersect at the vertex of the cone. We can rule out choice B.
A degenerate circle is a single point, so we can rule out choice C.
A degenerate ellipse is also a single point. Any circle is an ellipse (but not the other way around). We can rule out choice D.

If Natalie paid $6.82 for one call, how many minutes long was it?
Select one:
A. 28
B. 36
C. 42
D. 45
Answer:
36 minutes long
Step-by-step explanation:
6.82 = 2.5 + 0.12m
4.32 = 0.12m
36 = m; 36 minutes long.
Answer:
B. 36.
Step-by-step explanation:
Substituting 6.82 for m:
6.82 = 2.5 + 0.12m
0.12 m = 6.82 - 2.5
0.12m = 4.32
m = 4.32 / 0.12
m = 36 minutes.

Sam makes $400 per week plus $20 commission on each new sell phone plan he sells. Write an equation to determine how many new plans she sold to earn $680 last week
Answer:
She sold 14 new plans to earn $680 last week.
Step-by-step explanation:
$400 + 20(x) = $680
Take 400 away from total cost. So, 680 - 400 = 280.
Now, divide 280 by 20, and x = 14.
The equation would be $400 + 20(14) = $680

I can’t seem to find the missing third side of the isosceles triangle.
Doesn’t have to equal 180?
This is the equation I’m doing but doesn’t give me an answer from the choices: 12.25 + 12.25 + x =180
===============================
Explanation:
Let's say we had a triangle with side lengths a,b,c.
If we know that a = 12.25 and b = 12.25, then the third side c has its length restricted in such a way that
b-a < c < b+a
This is a variation of the triangle inequality theorem.
-------------
So,
b - a < c < b + a
12.25 - 12.25 < c < 12.25 + 12.25
0 < c < 24.5
which means the third side c is between 0 inches and 24.5 inches.
The value of c cannot be 0, and it cannot be 24.5 either.
Among the answer choices given, we see that only 24.0 is the only valid option here. The other two choices are too large.
-------------
Side Note: If your teacher gave you two angles (instead of two sides) to be 12.25 degrees, and wanted the third missing angle of the triangle, then you would be correct in having 12.25+12.25+x = 180 as your first step.

Imagine that you take a road trip from A to D, but you have to do it in segments. Let’s say the distance from A to B is 145 miles; from B to C is 160 miles, and C to D is 115 miles. It takes you 6 hours to drive from A to D. What was your average speed (in miles per hour) during your trip from A to D? (Hint: How many miles did you drive from A to D? Then divide the total miles by the number of hours).
A. 50
B. 60
C. 70
D. 80
E. 90
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The average speed can be obtained by adding the distances together and dividing by the total amount of time.
The total distance the man traveled from A to D is the addition of the distance from A to B plus the distance from B to C plus the distance from C to D. This is mathematically equal to 145 + 160 + 115 = 420 miles.
Dividing 420 miles by 6 = 70 miles per hour

What is the percent of change from 6,000 to 60?
Answer: 99% decrease
Step-by-step explanation: Since the number changes from 6,000 to 60, we know that it's decreasing. Now to find the percent decrease, we divide the amount of change by the original number.
The amount of change is the difference between 6,000 and 60 and the original number is 6,000.
6,000 - 60 is 5,940 so we are left with [tex]\frac{5,940}{6,000}[/tex] and dividing 6,000 into 5,940 gives us 0.99.
Finally, since the problem is asking us for the percent, we write 0.999 as a percent by moving the decimal point 2 places to the right to get 99%.
So when a number changes from 6,000 to 60, it has decreased by 99%.

Answer:
A is a function/B is not.
Step-by-step explanation:
A, there are 1 x value for 1 y value.
B, is not a function because for 1 x value, there are 2 y values.
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Graph A is a function because it passes the vertical line test. You could draw a vertical line anywhere on the graph which will only pass through the graph at one point. It is a many-to-one relation.
Graph B is not a function because some vertical lines will pass through the graph at 2 points. It is a one-to-many relation.,
One-to-one and many-to-one relations are functions but one-to-many are not functions.

Find the length of the curve with equation $y=\dfrac{1}{3}(x^2+2)^{3/2}$ for $1\leq x\leq 4$.
To find the length of the curve defined by $y=\dfrac{1}{3}(x^2+2)^{3/2}$ over the interval $1\leq x\leq 4$, we must integrate the square root of the sum of 1 and the square of the derivative of our function from 1 to 4.
To begin with, we want to find the derivative of our function. In other words, we need to compute $dy/dx$.
The derivative, with the Chain Rule gives us:
$y' = \dfrac{1}{3} \cdot \dfrac{3}{2} \cdot 2x \cdot (x^2+2)^{1/2}$
Simplifying gives:
$y' = x \cdot (x^2+2)^{1/2}$
Next, we substitute $y'$ into the formula for finding the length of a curve:
$L = \int_{a}^{b}\sqrt{1+(y')^2}dx$
We should note that $a = 1$ and $b = 4$ here. We substitute $y'=x \cdot (x^2+2)^{1/2}$ and obtain:
$L = \int_{1}^{4}\sqrt{1+(x \cdot (x^2+2)^{1/2})^2}dx$
We can now evaluate the integral, where we will square the entire derivative and add 1 as being under the square root.
So, finally, evaluating this integral gives us the length of the curve, which in this case is 24.
Therefore, the length of the curve $y=\dfrac{1}{3}(x^2+2)^{3/2}$ over the interval $1\leq x\leq 4$ is 24.

A value one standard deviation from the mean is less likely to occur than a value three standard deviations from the mean.
True or False?
Answer: false is correct
The statement is false; a value one standard deviation from the mean is more likely to occur than a value three standard deviations from the mean due to the Empirical Rule for normal distributions.
The statement is false. A value one standard deviation from the mean is more likely to occur than a value three standard deviations from the mean. According to the Empirical Rule, which applies to bell-shaped and symmetric distributions, about 68 percent of the data lies within one standard deviation of the mean, while more than 99 percent of the data is within three standard deviations. This means that as you move further away from the mean, the likelihood of occurrence decreases.
Point C = (4/9,-5/9) lies on the circle with the center at S=(-2/3, 3/4). If CD is a diameter of circle S, find the coordinates for D. Answer must be given as a simplified fraction to receive full credit.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If CD is a diameter of circle S, then CD goes through circle S at point S. CS is a radius, and so is DS. That means that they are the same length. That also means that S is the midpoint of CD. We can use the midpoint formula and the 2 points we are given to find the other endpoint, D.
[tex](-\frac{2}{3},\frac{3}{4}) =(\frac{\frac{4}{9}+x }{2},\frac{-\frac{5}{9}+y }{2})[/tex]
To solve for x, we will use the x coordinate of the midpoint; likewise for y. x first:
[tex]-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{\frac{4}{9}+x }{2}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the lowermost 2 and get
[tex]-\frac{4}{3}=\frac{4}{9}+x[/tex]
Subtract 4/9 from both sides to get
[tex]x=-\frac{16}{9}[/tex]
Now y:
[tex]\frac{3}{4}=\frac{-\frac{5}{9}+y }{2}[/tex]
Again multiply both sides by that lower 2 to get
[tex]\frac{3}{2}=-\frac{5}{9}+y[/tex]
Add 5/9 to both sides to get
[tex]y=\frac{37}{18}[/tex]
And there you go!
[tex]D(-\frac{16}{9},\frac{37}{18})[/tex]
What is the perimeter of rectangle ABCDABCD? (1) The longer side of the rectangle is 2 meters shorter than its diagonal (2) The ratio of the shorter side of the rectangle to its diagonal is 13
Answer:
(1) P=4a+4
(2) P=2a+4[tex]\sqrt{42}[/tex]a
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, let us call longer side b, shorter side a and diagonal d. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2*(a+b). Let us write this formula as P=2*(a+b)
In (1) it is stated that b=a+2. Hence, the perimeter of the rectangle is P=2*(a+b). In terms of b, let us write (a+2). So P=2*(a+a+2)=4a+4.
In (2) it is stated that d/a=13 or d=13a. From Pythagorean theorem d^2=a^2+b^2. Hence, b^2=168a^2 or b=2[tex]\sqrt{42}[/tex]a. Finally, P=2*(a+b)=2*(a+2[tex]\sqrt{42}[/tex]a)=2a+4[tex]\sqrt{42}[/tex]a
The unemployment rate has risen more than a percentage point to 8.8% in February from 6.7% last November. What is the relative change in the unemployment rate expressed as a percentage? The unemployment rate has risen what percent?
Answer:
7.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Final answer:
The relative change in the unemployment rate expressed as a percentage is approximately 31.34%.
Explanation:
The relative change in the unemployment rate expressed as a percentage can be computed by taking the difference between the two unemployment rates and dividing it by the initial unemployment rate. In this case, the initial unemployment rate was 6.7% and the new unemployment rate is 8.8%, so the change is 8.8% - 6.7% = 2.1%. To express this change as a percentage, we divide the change by the initial unemployment rate and multiply by 100: (2.1% / 6.7%) * 100 = 31.34%. Therefore, the unemployment rate has risen by approximately 31.34%.
4x/ 2x + y + 2y/ 2x + y Perform the indicated operation. Be sure the answer is reduced.
Answer:
[tex]\frac{4x}{2x+y} +\frac{2y}{2x+y}=2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The expression to simplify is given as:
[tex]\frac{4x}{2x+y} +\frac{2y}{2x+y}[/tex]
Since, the denominator is same, we add the numerators and divide it by the same denominator. This gives,
[tex]\frac{4x+2y}{2x+y}[/tex]
Now, we simplify further by factoring out the common terms from the numerator and denominator if possible.
We observe that, 2 is a common factor to both [tex]4x\ and\ 2y[/tex]. So, we factor out 2 from the numerator. This gives,
[tex]\frac{2(2x+y)}{2x+y}[/tex]
Now, the term [tex]2x+y[/tex] is common in both the numerator and denominator. Hence, [tex]\frac{2x+y}{2x+y}=1[/tex]
So, the simplified form is:
[tex]=2\times \frac{2x+y}{2x+y}\\\\=2\times 1\\\\=2[/tex]
The expression 120-15x represents how many invitations Luanne has to address after x days. The expression 120 + 15(7-x) represents the number of invitations Darius has to address after x days. After how many days do Luanne and Darius have the same sumber of invitations to address?
Answer:
not possible.
Step-by-step explanation:
number of invitations luanne has to address after x days = 120-15x
number of invitations Darius has to address after x days = 120 + 15(7-x)
so, if the number of invitations should be the same for both of them,
we have to equate their number of invitations
120-15x = 120 + 15(7-x)
subtracting 120 from both the sides,
-15x = 15(7-x) = 105 -15x
adding we 15x on both sides, we wont find any solution for x.
so, this isnt possible or the question must be wrong.

Non of the completed options are valid. Option c is incomplete but it starts correctly. If there are no more options, the answer is (c).
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets call a = x0, x1, x2, x3 and x4 = b the endpoints of the intervals in increasing order. Lets also call L the length of each subinterval. Note that b-a = 4L. Lets denote yi = f(xi) for i in {0,1,2,3,4}.
Lets compute each sum:
Left sum = x0*L + x1*L + x2*L + x3*L = (y0+y1+y2+y3)L
Similarly
Right sum = (y1+y2+y3+y4)L
and trapezoidal rule value = L((y0)/2 + y1+ y2 + y3+ (y4)/2)
Since f is decreasing, we have that y0 > y1 > y2 > y3 > y4. Therefore, y0 > y4 and, as a result, Left sum > Right sum, because the Right sum has y4 instead of y0 multiplying by L.
On the other hand, multiplying L we have (y0)/2 + y1+ y2 + y3+ (y4)/2 on the trapezoidal rule value, thus it has half of y0 and half of y4, and as a consecuence, the trapezoidal sum is between the left sum and the right sum.
The correct answer is
Right sum < trapezoidal rule value < Left sum

A rocket is located on a platform that is 200 feet above a deep canyon. After launching the rocket with an initial velocity of 50 ft/sec, the platform is moved.
a.) What is the max height the rocket will reach?
b.) When will it reach the max height?
c.) When will it be 300 feet off the ground?
d.) How high will it be after 4.2 seconds?
e.) Where will the rocket be after seven seconds?
Answer:
a) Max height it will reach is 327.55 ft above the ground
b) It will reach max height after 5.1 seconds
c) It will be 300 feet off the ground at 12 seconds
d) It will be 305 ft above the ground
e) The rocket will be 247.55 ft above the ground after seven seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Using the equations of kinematics:
v² = v_i² + 2 g Δy
where
v is the final velocityv_i is the initial velocityg is the acceleration due to gravityΔy is the rocket's displacementTherefore,
0² = 50² + 2(- 9.8) Δy
(the negative sign shows that the positive direction is upwards. Gravity acts downwards)
Δy = -(50)² / 2(-9.8)
Δy = 127.55 ft
Thus, the maximum height that the rocket reaches will be
200 ft + 127.55 ft
= 327.55 ft above the ground
b) Using the equations of kinematics:
Δy = [(v + v_i) / 2 ] × t
t = Δy / [(v + v_i) / 2 ]
t = 127.55 / [(0 + 50) / 2]
t = 5.1 seconds
Therefore, the rocket will reach its maximum height after 5.1 seconds.
c) Using the equations of kinematics:
t₃₀₀ = Δy / [(v + v_i) / 2 ]
t₃₀₀ = 300 / [(0 + 50) / 2]
t₃₀₀ = 12 seconds
Therefore, the rocket will reach 300 feet after 12 seconds
d) Using the equations of kinematics:
Δy = [(v + v_i) / 2 ] × t
Δy = [(0 + 50) / 2] × 4.2
Δy = 105 ft
Therefore, the rocket will be
105 ft + 200 ft
= 305 ft above the ground after 4.2 seconds
e) Using the equations of kinematics:
Δy = [(v + v_i) / 2 ] × t
Δy = [(0 + 50) / 2] × 7
Δy = 175 ft
Therefore,
175 - 127.55 = 47.55 ft
Thus, the rocket will be
47.55 ft + 200 ft
= 247.55 ft above the ground after seven seconds

Jack accepted a job to paint a new house. He calculated that he can complete the job in 30 hours. He hired a trainee to assist him. He has seen the trainee work and estimates that it the trainee working alone would take 45 hours to complete the job. How much time should the two of them working together need to paint the house? (Round your answer to the nearest tenth.)
Answer:
20hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Jack can complete the painting in 30hours. The fraction he can paint per hour is thus 1/30
Trainee can complete the painting in 45hours, the fraction he can paint per hour is 1/45
If they are working together, the fraction that can paint in an hour is :
1/45 + 1/30 = 5/90 = 1/18
Now we know they can paint 1/18 of the room in an hour, the number of hours needed to completely paint the room is thus 1/1/18 = 18 hours
Rounding up answer to the nearest tenth is 20hours
Jade normally leaves work at 5:00 pm, but she is leaving work 10 minutes late today. She decides to make up time by taking the toll road instead of side streets. She can travel two times faster by taking the toll road. Create an equation in terms of x to represent the number of minutes after 5:00 pm she arrives home from work if she leaves late. Let x represent the number of minutes her normal commute takes when she leaves on time.

The area of the triangle on the right is
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}(8)(4)[/tex] so the area is 16.
Adding those 2 areas together gives you a total area of 28 in squared.

Then, Liam's solution contains,
2 + [tex]3\dfrac {1}{4} \times x[/tex] quarts of paint or,
2 + [tex]\frac {13x}{4}[/tex] quarts of paint
and,
let, each jar of Evan's paint contains, y quarts of paint.
Then, Evan's solution contains,
[tex]\frac {1}{2} + 5 \dfrac {1}{2} \times y[/tex] quarts of paint or,
[tex]\frac {1}{2} + \frac {11y}{2}[/tex] quarts of paint
now, according to the question,
the required equation is given by,
2 + [tex]\frac {13x}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac {1}{2} + \frac {11y}{2}[/tex]
To find an equation that represents the volume of paint mixed by Liam and Evan, we assume that 1 jar equals 1 quart. By adding the quarts of paint each person uses, we get the equation 2 + 3 1/4 = 1/2 + 5 1/2, meaning they both used the same total volume of paint.
Explanation:To find the equation that represents the situation, we need to equate the total volume of paint used by Liam to the total volume used by Evan. We know that Liam uses 2 quarts of yellow paint and adds 3 1/4 jars of blue paint. Evan, on the other hand, uses 1/2 quart of yellow paint and adds 5 1/2 jars of red paint. Assuming that 1 jar is equivalent to 1 quart, we can simply add the volumes for Liam and Evan:
Liam's total volume = 2 quarts (yellow) + 3 1/4 quarts (blue)
Evan's total volume = 1/2 quart (yellow) + 5 1/2 quarts (red)
Since they end up with the same volume of paint, we have the equation:
2 + 3 1/4 = 1/2 + 5 1/2
To solve for quarts, simplify both sides:
5 1/4 = 6
This equation represents the volumes of paint mixed by Liam and Evan.
