A cyclist managed to ride 5 miles against the wind in the same time that it took him to ride 10 miles with the wind. If the wind

speed is 4 mph, which equation can be used to calculate the cyclist's average rate of speed in miles per hour

Given that the cyclist rides distances of 5 miles and 10 miles due to the wind, the equation that can be used to calculate the speed is therefore;

\frac{10}{v + 4}  =  \frac{5}{v - 4}

<h3>How can the correct equation be found?</h3>

The distance the cyclist rides against the wind = 5 miles

The distance the cyclist rides with the wind = 10 miLes

Let <em>t </em>represent the time it took the cyclist in both directions, we have;

t =  \frac{10}{v + 4}  =  \frac{5}{v - 4}

Where;

v = The cyclist's average rate of speed

Which gives;

10 × (v - 4) = 5 × (v - 4)

10v - 40 = 5v - 20

5v = 20

v = 20 ÷ 5 = 5

The equation that can be used to calculate the cyclist's average rate of speed is therefore;

t =  \frac{10}{v + 4}  =  \frac{5}{v - 4}

GC - If the principal amount of money put into a bank is $2000 with a 3.5% rate compounded quarterly, what is the amount after 6
alisha [4.7K]

Given:

Principal amount = $2000

Rate of interest = 3.5% compounded quarterly.

Time = 6 years

To find:

The amount after 6 years.

Solution:

The formula for amount after compound interest is:

A=P\left(1+\dfrac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}

Where, P is principal, r is rate of interest in decimal, n is the number of time interest compounded in an year and t is the number of years.

The interest is compounded quarterly, so n=4.

Substituting P=2000,r=0.035,n=4,t=6, we get

A=2000\left(1+\dfrac{0.035}{4}\right)^{4(6)}

A=2000\left(1+0.00875\right)^{24}

A=2000\left(1.00875\right)^{24}

A=2465.10340

Approximate the value to the nearest hundredth.

A\approx 2465.10

The amount after 6 years us $2465.10. Therefore, the correct option is A.
