Edward wants to determine which skateboarder won a race. The actual time taken by four skateboarders to skate the same distance

is shown below:
Skateboarder A B C D
Time (in seconds) 4.28 4.24 4.26 4.25


If the stopwatch can measure to the nearest tenth of a second, which skateboarder will show as having a different time from the others?
Skateboarder A
Skateboarder B
Skateboarder C
Skateboarder D

Skateboarder B. 4.24 will show as a different time since the stopwatch rounds to the nearest tenth and to round up it has to be 0.5+ and to round down you need 0.4 or below and in this case Skateboarder B. has a time of 4.24 thus it has a different time than the other times.

I Hope this helped you!

Answer:

skateboarder B

Step-by-step explanation:

Actual time taken by skateboards to skate are

4.28, 4.24, 4.26, 4.25 seconds.

If the stopwatch can measure to the nearest tenth of a second then the actual times will be recorded as

(A) 4.28 ≈ 4.3

(C) 4.26 ≈ 4.3

(D) 4.25 ≈ 4.3

(B) 4.24 ≈ 4.2

So skateboarder B will have different time from the others.

5) Find the equation of the line going through the point (4,1) and<br> perpendicular to y = - 3x +7
vovangra [49]

Answer:

3y=x-1 OR y=⅓x-⅓

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets call the equation y=-3x+7 line l1

the other line passing through (4,1) l2

If two lines are perpendicular,then the product of their roots=-1

That is m(l1)×m(l2)=-1

Slope of l1=-3 therefore slope of l2=-1÷-3=⅓

Now that we have determined the slope of l2 we move on to find it's equation using the point-slope form

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-1=⅓(x-4)

3y-3=x-4

3y=x-4+3

3y=x-1 OR y=⅓x-⅓

Solve this system using matrices:
sweet [91]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A system of linear equations is one which may be written in the form

a11x1 + a12x2 + · · · + a1nxn = b1 (1)

a21x1 + a22x2 + · · · + a2nxn = b2 (2)

.

am1x1 + am2x2 + · · · + amnxn = bm (m)

Here, all of the coefficients aij and all of the right hand sides bi are assumed to be known constants. All of the

xi

’s are assumed to be unknowns, that we are to solve for. Note that every left hand side is a sum of terms of

the form constant × x

Solving Linear Systems of Equations

We now introduce, by way of several examples, the systematic procedure for solving systems of linear

equations.

Here is a system of three equations in three unknowns.

x1+ x2 + x3 = 4 (1)

x1+ 2x2 + 3x3 = 9 (2)

2x1+ 3x2 + x3 = 7 (3)

We can reduce the system down to two equations in two unknowns by using the first equation to solve for x1

in terms of x2 and x3

x1 = 4 − x2 − x3 (1’)

1

and substituting this solution into the remaining two equations

(2) (4 − x2 − x3) + 2x2+3x3 = 9 =⇒ x2+2x3 = 5

(3) 2(4 − x2 − x3) + 3x2+ x3 = 7 =⇒ x2− x3 = −1

A fence is to be built to enclose a rectangular area of 1800 square feet. The fence along three sides is to be made of material
drek231 [11]

Answer:

length = 60 foot, width = 30 foot

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangular part, A = 1800 ft²

Cost of fencing three sides is $ 6 per foot and cost of one side fencing is $18 per foot.

Let the length of the rectangle is l and the width of the rectangle is W.

Area = Length x width

A = L x W

1800 = L x W ...... (1)

Total cost of fencing, C = 6 x ( L + W + L) + 18 x W

C = 6 (2L + W) + 18 W

C = 12 L + 24 W

Substitute the value of W from equation (1), W=\frac{1800}{L} in equation (2)

C=12L+24\times \frac{1800}{L}

C=12L+\frac{43200}{L}

Differentiate both sides with respect to L:

\frac{dC}{dL}=12-\frac{43200}{L^{2}}

Put it equal to zero for maxima and minima

12-\frac{43200}{L^{2}}=0

L = 60 foot

and W = 30 foot

So, the costing is minimum for length = 60 foot and the width = 30 foot.
