Answer:

a. 2 7/9 miles

b. 21.6 minutes

c. 8 1/3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate at which Catlin runs can be determined from the graph by finding the coordinates of a grid point that lies on the line. The line goes through the origin, so the relationship between time and distance is proportional.

We see that the point (miles, minutes) = (1 2/3, 12) lies on the graph, so the contant of proportionality is ...

k = y/x = 12/(5/3) = 36/5 = 7.2 . . . . minutes/mile

The proportion can be written ...

distance/(20 minutes) = (1 mile)/(7.2 minutes)

distance = (20/7.2) miles = 2 7/9 miles

Catlin will run 2 7/9 miles in 20 minutes

The proportion can be written ...

time/(3 miles) = (7.2 minutes)/(1 mile)

time = (3)(7.2 minutes) = 21.6 minutes

Catlin was running 21.6 minutes

In 1 hour, Catlin will run 3 times as far as in 20 minutes. Using the result from part A, we find ...

3(2 7/9 miles) = 8 1/3 miles 8 1/3 miles

Catlin will run 8 1/3 miles in one hour.

<em>Additional comment</em>

Once we have a relationship between minutes and miles, we can write proportions with either of those numbers in the numerator or denominator. We find it convenient to put the unknown value in the numerator of a proportion, which is why the ratios are written differently in the different parts of the problem.

Find an equation of the plane that passes through the point P0 = (6, 3, 2) and is parallel to the xy-plane. g

Nutka1998 [239]

The <em>xy</em>-plane has a normal vector of 〈0, 0, 1〉, and any plane parallel to it will have the same normal vector.

Then the equation of the plane through (6, 3, 2) that is parallel to the <em>xy</em>-plane has equation

〈<em>x</em> - 6, <em>y</em> - 3, <em>z</em> - 2〉 • 〈0, 0, 1〉 = 0

==> <em>z</em> - 2 = 0

==> <em>z</em> = 2

What is the answer

vichka [17]

An excluded value is one where the bottom of the fraction = 0.

In your case 1-3x=0
1=3x
x=1/3

At this point, the function does not exist. If you were to draw a graph of it, there wouldn't be a y-value corresponding to x=1/3.

What is the value of x? Also show work pls

drek231 [11]

Answer:

x = 34

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles are corresponding angles and corresponding angles are equal if the lines parallel

2x+3 = 71

Subtract 3 from each side

2x+3-3 = 71-3

2x = 68

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 68/2

x = 34

Leon drives a long distance to attend a family reunion. At 12:00 PM, his gas tank is completely filled with 12 gallons of gas. L

kotykmax [81]

Based on the rate that Leon's car uses gas, the time that Leon will stop to get gas is 3:36 pm.

Leon will stop to get gas when the tank is 1/4 full which is:
= 1/4 x 12

= 3 gallons

The rate at which the car uses gas is:

= Gallons used / Time traveled

= 5 / 2

= 2.5 gallons per hour

The number of hours till he has to stop is:

= (12 gallons - 3 gallons) / 2.5

= 3.6 hours

The time that Leon will stop is:

= 12pm + 3.6 hours

= 12 pm + 3 hours 36 minutes

= 1536 hours

= 3:36 pm

Suppose you want to use a confidence interval to estimate the true mean number of calories found in candy bars. It is known that

svetlana [45]

Answer:

See explaination.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sampling distribution can be defined as a probability distribution of a statistic which is gotten through a large number of samples usually drawn from a specific population.

The sampling distribution of a given population can be described as the distribution of frequencies of a range of different outcomes that could possibly occur for a statistic of a population.

Please refer to attachment for a step by step technique to prove How many candy bars must you have in order to be sure the sampling distribution of x is normal.
