Elvira and Aletheia live 3.1 miles apart on the same street. They are in a study group that meets at a coffee shop between their

houses. It took Elvira 12 hour and Aletheia 23 hour to walk to the coffee shop. Aletheia's speed is 0.6 miles per hour slower than Elvira's speed. Find both women's walking speeds.

Answer:

  • Elvira's speed: 3.0 mph
  • Aletheia's speed: 2.4 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "e" and "a" represent the speeds of Elvira and Aletheia, respectively. Then the total distance they cover is ...

  distance = speed × time

  (1/2)e + (2/3)a = 3.1

And the relationship between their speeds is ...

  e - a = 0.6

__

To solve this system, we can double the first equation and subtract the second to get ...

  2(1/2e +2/3a) -(e -a) = 2(3.1) -(0.6)

 7/3a = 5.6 . . . . . . . . . . simplify

  a = (3/7)(5.6) = 2.4 . . . multiply by 3/7

  e = a +0.6 = 3.0 . . . . . Elvira's speed is 0.6 mph more than Aletheia's

Elvira's walking speed is 3.0 miles per hour; Aletheia's is 2.4 miles per hour.

Find the two smallest possible solutions to part 1a​
bixtya [17]
<h3>Answer: A. 5/12, 25/12</h3>

============================

Work Shown:

12*sin(2pi/5*x)+10 = 16

12*sin(2pi/5*x) = 16-10

12*sin(2pi/5*x) = 6

sin(2pi/5*x) = 6/12

sin(2pi/5*x) = 0.5

2pi/5*x = arcsin(0.5)

2pi/5*x = pi/6+2pi*n or 2pi/5*x = 5pi/6+2pi*n

2/5*x = 1/6+2*n or 2/5*x = 5/6+2*n

x = (5/2)*(1/6+2*n) or x = (5/2)*(5/6+2*n)

x = 5/12+5n or x = 25/12+5n

these equations form the set of all solutions. The n is any integer.

--------

The two smallest positive solutions occur when n = 0, so,

x = 5/12+5n or x = 25/12+5n

x = 5/12+5*0 or x = 25/12+5*0

x = 5/12 or x = 25/12

--------

Plugging either x value into the expression 12*sin(2pi/5*x)+10 should yield 16, which would confirm the two answers.
