Pattie runs at 5 ft/sec
She has got a head start of 15 feet.
So after 1 second, Pattie runs = (5+15) ft <span>                                                   
                                                  = 20 </span> ft
After 2 second Pattie runs = (20+5)ft
                                           = 25 ft
After 3 second Pattie runs = (25+5) ft
                                           = 30 ft
After 4 seconds Pattie runs = (30+5) ft
                                             = 35 ft
After 5 seconds Pattie runs = (35+5) ft
                                             = 40 ft
After 6 seconds Pattie runs  = (40+5) ft
                                             = 45 ft
Now Keith runs at 8 ft/sec
After 1 second Keith runs = 8 ft
After 2 second Keith runs = (8+8) ft
                                           = 16 ft
After 3 second Keith runs = (16+8) ft
                                           = 24 ft
After 4 second Keith runs = (24+8) ft
                                          = 32 ft
After 5 second Keith runs = (32+8) ft
                                           = 40 ft
After 6 second Keith runs = (40+8) ft
                                           = 48 ft
So Pattie will stay ahead of Keith upto 4 seconds. In the 5th second Pattie and Keith will be level and in the 6th second Pattie will be overtaken by Keith.

Solve the system or linear equations
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

37. {-1, -1}.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll solve the first one . The other can be solved in a similar way. We can use the method of elimination.

x1 - x2 = 0

3x1 - 2x2 = -1

We can multiply the first equation by -2. We then have an equation containing + 2x2 so when we add this to the second equation the 2x2 will be eliminated

So the first equation becomes:

-2x1 + 2x2 = 0     Bring down the second equation:

3x1 - 2x2 = -1       Now adding, we get:

x1 + 0 = -1

so x1 = -1.

Now we substitute this value of x1 in the original first equation:

-1 - x2 = 0

-1 = x2

x2 = -1.

So the solution set is {-1, -1}.

If there are more than 2 equations you can use a combination of substitutions and eliminations.

True or​ false: when comparing two​ populations, the larger the standard​ deviation, the more dispersion the distribution​ has,
SOVA2 [1]

True, because the standard deviation describes how​ far, on​ average, each observation is from the typical value. A larger standard deviation means that observations are more distant from the typical​ value, and​ therefore, more dispersed.
