Two cyclists leave a city at the same time, one going east and the other going west. The westbound cyclist bikes at 3 mph faster

than the eastbound cyclist. If after 6 hours they are 162 miles apart, how fast is each cyclist riding?
If you can solve this, can you please show your work and explain what I need to plug in where, and what equation I need to use? This is so confusing.

We will say that the eastbound cyclist is going x mph. This means that the westbound cyclist is going x+3 mph.
They are both cycling for 6 hours and end up 162 miles apart.
Distance=rate*time
6x+6(x+3)=162
6x+6x+18+162
12x=144
x=12
So, the eastbound cyclist is going 12 mph.
Remember the westbound cyclist is going 3 mph faster, so s/he is going 15 mph.
Hope this helps!!

The parent function f(x) = x3 is transformed to g(x) = (x – 1)3 + 4. Identify the graph of g(x).
Dominik [7]

we have f(x)=x^3 which is a cubic function.

and =(x-1)^3+4.

from f(x) and g(x) we know that both are cubic and g(x) has shrink of 1 and up by 4 units in x axis .

dlinn [17]

Answer:

a

The null hypothesis is  H_o : \mu  =  13.4000

The alternative hypothesis is  H_a :  \mu \ne  13.4000

The null hypothesis is rejected

b

The  99% confidence level is   13.3930  < \mu  < 13.3994

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The sample size is  n =  10

   The  population mean is  \mu =  13.4 000 \  angstroms

   The level of significance is  \alpha =  0.05

   The  sample data is  

13.3987, 13.3957, 13.3902, 13.4015, 13.4001, 13.3918, 13.3965, 13.3925, 13.3946, and 13.4002

Generally the sample mean is mathematically represented as

        \= x =  \frac{13.3987+ 13.3957\cdots +13.4002 }{10}

=>     \= x = 13.3962

Generally the sample standard deviation  is mathematically represented as

    \sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x_i - \= x)^2}{n} }

=> \sigma = \sqrt{\frac{ (13.3987 - 13.3962)^2 +  (13.3987 - 13.3962)^2 + \cdots + (13.3987 -13.4002)^2  }{10} }

=>  \sigma =0.0039

The null hypothesis is  H_o : \mu  =  13.4000

The alternative hypothesis is  H_a :  \mu \ne  13.4000

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

      z  =  \frac{\= x - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }

=>    z  =  \frac{13.3962 -  13.4000}{\frac{0.0039}{\sqrt{10} } }

=>   z =  3.08

Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

       p-value  = 2P( z   >  3.08)

From the z-table  P(z >  3.08)= 0.001035

So

       p-value  = 2* 0.001035

      p-value  = 0.00207

So from the obtained value we see that

     p-value  < \alpha

Hence the null hypothesis is rejected

Consider the b question

Given that the confidence level is  99%  then the level of significance is

    \alpha =  (100 -99)\%

=> \alpha =  0.01

Generally from the normal distribution table critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2} is  

    Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  2.58

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

     E =  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } *  \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }

=>   E = 2.58  *  \frac{0.0039}{\sqrt{10} }

=>    E = 0.00318

Generally the 99% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

     13.3962   - 0.00318  < \mu  < 13.3962   +  0.00318

=>   13.3930  < \mu  < 13.3994

57 1/2 as a decimal, Please help and Thanks
Nimfa-mama [501]
The answer is 57.5 because 57 represents a whole number and 1/2 equals .5 so 57.5.

People who answer the question will get a thank you!

Multiply and simplify the product.
lianna [129]
Multiplying complex numbers is a lot like multiplying binomial terms. The only relation one has to remember when dealing with complex numbers is that i² = -1.

Now let us try to multiply binomials. This is done by adding the products of the first term of the first binomial distributed to the second binomial, and the second term of the first binomial distributed to the second binomial. This is done below:

(<span>3 – 5i)(–2 + 4i)  = -6 + 12i + 10i -20i²
</span>
Simplifying and applying i²<span> = -1:</span>
-6 + 22i - 20(-1)
-6 + 22i + 20
14 + 22i

Among the choices, the correct answer is B.
