Clare spent a total of 25 minutes at the track. She spent 5 minutes stretching and walked 4 laps around the track. If she walked

at a constant pace, how long did it take her to walk each lap? What was her pace in inches per second?

Hello!

First of all, we can subtract the stretching time. This gives us 20. If we divide by the four laps we get 5 minutes per lap.

Now, one lap is 400 meters (most tracks are), which is equal to 15,748.03 inches. This means it takes her five minutes to walk 15,748.03 inches. This is also equal to 300 seconds, so it takes her 300 minutes per 15,748.03 inches. 

But if we round our big inches number to the nearest ten thousandth, we get 16,000, so in a simpler form her pace is 300/16,000. But we need to find in per second. Therefore we will divide by 300 to find how many inches she walks per second.  This means she walks about 53.33 inches per second.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

Clare spent a total of 25 minutes at the track.

She spent 5 minutes stretching and walked 4 laps around the track.

So, we can say the total time spent on the track can be denoted by :

5+4x=25 where x is the time it took her to walk one lap.

So, we can solve for x here to get how long did it take her to walk each lap.

4x=25-5

4x=20

x = 5

So, it took Claire 5 minutes to walk each lap.

For the second part of the question, we need the distance of a lap, which is not given.

Find the complex fourth roots of 81(cos(3pi/8) + i sin(3pi/8))
BartSMP [9]
By using <span>De Moivre's theorem:
</span>
If we have the complex number ⇒ z = a ( cos θ + i sin θ)
∴ \sqrt[n]{z} =  \sqrt[n]{a} \ (cos \  \frac{\theta + 360K}{n} + i \ sin \ \frac{\theta +360k}{n} )
k= 0, 1 , 2, ..... , (n-1)


For The given complex number <span>⇒ z = 81(cos(3π/8) + i sin(3π/8))
</span>

Part (A) <span>find the modulus for all of the fourth roots
</span>
<span>∴ The modulus of the given complex number = l z l = 81
</span>
∴ The modulus of the fourth root = \sqrt[4]{z} =  \sqrt[4]{81} = 3

Part (b) find the angle for each of the four roots

The angle of the given complex number = \frac{3 \pi}{8}
There is four roots and the angle between each root = \frac{2 \pi}{4} =  \frac{\pi}{2}
The angle of the first root = \frac{ \frac{3 \pi}{8} }{4} =  \frac{3 \pi}{32}
The angle of the second root = \frac{3\pi}{32} +  \frac{\pi}{2} =  \frac{19\pi}{32}
The angle of the third root = \frac{19\pi}{32} +  \frac{\pi}{2} =  \frac{35\pi}{32}
The angle of the  fourth root = \frac{35\pi}{32} +  \frac{\pi}{2} =  \frac{51\pi}{32}

Part (C): find all of the fourth roots of this

The first root = z_{1} = 3 ( cos \  \frac{3\pi}{32} + i \ sin \ \frac{3\pi}{32})
The second root = z_{2} = 3 ( cos \  \frac{19\pi}{32} + i \ sin \ \frac{19\pi}{32})

The third root = z_{3} = 3 ( cos \  \frac{35\pi}{32} + i \ sin \ \frac{35\pi}{32})
The fourth root = z_{4} = 3 ( cos \  \frac{51\pi}{32} + i \ sin \ \frac{51\pi}{32})

On a multiple-choice test. Abby randomly guesses on all seven questions. Each question
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

0.173 probability that she gets exactly three questions correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either she guesses the correct answer, or she does not. The probability of guessing the correct answer for a question is independent of other questions. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

Seven questions:

This means that n = 7

Each question has four choices.

Abby guesses, which means that p = \frac{1}[4} = 0.25

Find the probability to the nearest thousandth, that Abby gets exactly three questions correct.

This is P(X = 3).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 3) = C_{7,3}.(0.25)^{3}.(0.75)^{4} = 0.173
