\text{ Jake father can carry } 10\frac{5}{7} \text{ or } \frac{75}{7} \text{ pounds }

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

From given question,

Number of pounds Jake carry = 6\frac{1}{4} \text{ pounds }

Number of pounds his father carry is 1\frac{5}{7} times as much as jake

To find: Number of pounds Jake father can carry

<em><u>Convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions</u></em>

Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator.

Add that to the numerator.

Then write the result on top of the denominator

\rightarrow 6\frac{1}{4} = \frac{4 \times 6+1}{4} = \frac{25}{4}\\\\\rightarrow 1\frac{5}{7} = \frac{7 \times 1+5}{7} = \frac{12}{7}

<em><u>Then according to question,</u></em>

\text{Pounds father carry } = \frac{12}{7} \text{ times the pounds jake carry }\\\\\text{Pounds father carry } = \frac{12}{7} \times \frac{25}{4}\\\\\text{Pounds father carry } = \frac{75}{7}\\\\\text{In terms of mixed fractions, }\\\\\text{Pounds father carry } = \frac{75}{7} = 10\frac{5}{7}

\text{ Thus, Jake father can carry } 10\frac{5}{7} \text{ or } \frac{75}{7} \text{ pounds }

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

h = 36.9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The function given to us is:

h(t) = 51 + 20 sin(225t)

Where h(t) is the function of the height in centimeters while t represents the time in seconds.

We have to find the height h(t) when the time is equal to 19 seconds.

Substitute t=19 into the given function

h(19) = 51 + 20 sin(225(19))

h(19) = 51 + 20 sin(4275)

h(19) = 51 + 20 (-0.7071)

h(19) = 51 + (-14,1421)

h(19) = 36.8579 cm

Rounding off to nearest 10th

h = 36.9 cm

There are four options to a question

out of which one is correct with 4 points

one is wrong but carries 1 point

Other two are wrong with a negative Point

Probability of selecting an option is \frac{1}{4}

Expected score=\frac{1}{4}\times 4+\frac{1}{4}\times 1+\frac{1}{4}\times (-1)+\frac{1}{4}\times (-1)

I need a Math EXPERT!!! Please help me in my math homework. WILL MARK AS BRAINLIST.
qwelly [4]

velocity is the slope (which can be calculated after finding the derivative)  →  given function f(x), velocity = f'(x).

acceleration is the slope of the velocity (which can be calculated after finding the derivative of the velocity)  →  given function f(x), acceleration is f''(x)

**************************************************************************************************

1a) A → B

f(x) = \frac{25}{3}x + 10

f'(x) = \frac{25}{3}

1b) B → C

f(x) = \frac{-15}{3}x + 50

f'(x) = \frac{-15}{3} = -5

1c) C → D

f(x) = 20

f'(x) = 0

Hope this helps!
