The speed of an object is its distance traveled per unit time

The average speed required for the remainder of the trip <u>55.5</u>

<u />

The reason the average speed value is correct is given as follows:

The known parameters;

The length of the first part of the trip, L = 218 mile

Duration of the time the sales person travels, t₁ = 2 hours and 15 minute

Average speed of travel, v₁ = 64 mph

The time at which the salesperson arrive at the destination, t₂ = 1 hour and 20 minutes

Required:

To find the average speed required for the remainder of the trip

Solution:

Distance traveled = Speed × Time

The distance traveled on the first part of the trip, <em>d₁ = v₁ × t₁</em>

(t₁ = 2 hours and 15 minute = 2.25 hours)

∴ d = 64 mph × 2.25 hours = 144 miles

The distance of the remainder part of the trip, d₂ = L - d₁

d₂ = 218 mile - 144 mile = 74 mile

The average speed required for the remainder of the trip, v₂, is given as follows;

v_2 = \dfrac{d_2}{t_2}

t₂ = 1 hour and 20 minutes = 1\frac{1}{3}  \ hour = \frac{4}{3}  \, hour

Therefore;

v_2 = \dfrac{74 \ mile}{1\frac{1}{3} \ hour} = 55.5 \ mph

With the units left out, we have;

<u>The average speed required for the remainder of the trip, v₂ = 55.5</u>

Find the length of GI in the triangle below. Show your work.
love history [14]

Answer:

<u>The length of GI is 90.06 units</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

GH = 60 units

HI = 42 units

∠H = 123°

2. Using the Law of Cosines, we can find the length of GI, this way:

GI² = GH² + HI² - 2 * GH * HI * cos ∠H

Replacing with the real values:

GI² = 60² + 42² - 2 * 60 * 42 * cos ∠123°

GI² = 3,600 + 1,764 - 2 * 60 * 42 * -0.545

GI² = 3,600 + 1,764 - 2 * 60 * 42 * -0.545

GI² = 3,600 + 1,764 + 2,746.8

GI² = 8,110.8

<u>GI = √ 8,110.8 = 90.06 units</u>

Find the Inverse of
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

y = 1/2x + 3

O f(x)= 1/2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x - 6

y = 2x - 6

x = 2y - 6

2y = x + 6

y = (x + 6)/2

y = 1/2x + 3

Find the mean, median, and mode of the data set. Round to the nearest tenth. 15, 13, 9, 9, 7, 1, 11, 10, 13, 1, 13 mean = 8.5, m
jasenka [17]

Answer:

Mean = 9.3

Median = 10

Mode = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the mean, you would have to add up all of the numbers (102), then divide how many numbers you have with the numbers added up (9.3). To get the median, you would have to put all of the numbers that you have, in order, from least to greatest and cross off each number, one from each side before getting to the number in the middle (unless if you have an even number; works better with odd numbers, which is easier). To get the mode, you would need to find out which number appears the most, and, if there is more than one, you can put the numbers down. Hope this helps.
