Emily leaves her house at exactly 8:25 AM, to bike to her school which is 3.42 miles away. When she passes the post office, whic

h is 3/4 mile away from her home, she looks at her watch and sees that it's 30 seconds past 8:29 AM. If Emily's school starts at 8:50 AM, can she make it to school without increasing her current rate of speed?

Speed used by Emily from home to post office is:
speed=(distance)/(time)
distance=3/4 miles
time=8:29:30-8:25=4 min 30 sec=4.5 min
thus speed=(0.75)/4.5=1/6 mile/min

The remaining distance from Post office to school:
3.42-0.75=2.67 miles
time taken to reach to school assuming that Emily will move with the same speed is:
time=2.67/(1/6)=16.02 min=16 min 1.2 seconds
time Emily will reach school is:
8:29:30+0:16:1.2
=8:45:31 a.m
This means that she will reach on time

Put the quadratic into vertex form and state the coordinates of the vertex. y= y= \,\,x^2-6x-3 x 2 −6x−3
enot [183]

Answer:

y = (x - 3)^2 - 12

(3,-12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = x^2 - 6x - 3

Solving (a): In vertex form

The vertex form of an equation is:

y = a(x - h)^2 + k

To do this, we make use of completing the square method.

We have:

y = x^2 - 6x - 3

------------------------------------------------------------------

Take the coefficient of x (i.e. -6)

Divide by 2; -6/2 = -3

Square it: (-3)^2 = 9

Add and subtract the result to the equation

------------------------------------------------------------------

y = x^2 - 6x - 3

y = x^2 - 6x + 9 - 9 - 3

y = x^2 - 6x + 9 - 12

Factorize x^2 - 6x + 9

y = x^2 - 3x-3x + 9 - 12

y = x(x - 3)-3(x - 3) - 12

Factor out x - 3

y = (x - 3)(x - 3) - 12

Express as squares

y = (x - 3)^2 - 12

Hence, the vertex form of y = x^2 - 6x - 3 is: y = (x - 3)^2 - 12

Solving (b): State the coordinates of the vertex.

In y = a(x - h)^2 + k; the vertex is: (h,k)

The vertex of y = (x - 3)^2 - 12 will be (3,-12)

Five percent of all vcrs manufactured by a large electronics company are defective. a quality control inspector randomly inspect
harkovskaia [24]
Binomial
Binomial distribution can be used because the situation satisfies all the following conditions:1. Number of trials is known and remains constant (n=10)2. Each trial is Bernoulli (i.e. exactly two possible outcomes) (defective/normal)3. Probability is known and remains constant throughout the trials (p=5%)4. All trials are random and independent of the others (assumed from context)The number of successes, x, is then given byP(x)=C(n,x)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}whereC(n,x)=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}
Substituting values, p=0.05, n=10, X=exactly 1
for X=1 (defective out of n)
P(X=1)=C(10,1)0.05^1*(1-0.05)^(10-1)
=10!/(1!9!)*0.05*0.95^9
=10*0.05*0.0630249
=0.315125 (to 6 places of decimal)

What is the original number if 9/10 of the number is 90?
coldgirl [10]
It would be 100. If you divide 100/10, you get 10, multiply that by 9 and you’d get 90.

3 1/2 - 4 2/5<br> how do i do this?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Ok so first you would have to turn them into improper fractions which is

3 \frac{1}{2\\} = \frac{7}{2} and 4 \frac{2}{5} = \frac{22}{5}

So now that you have made them both improper fractions you have to find common denominators.

To find common denominators you must multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same thing. Since your oposing fraction has a denominator of 5 you can know that a even number wont go in an odd number so take \frac{22}{5} and mutiply both numbers by 2 and get \frac{44}{10}. Then mutiply both numbers in \frac{7}{2} by 5 to get a common denominator.

\frac{35}{10}

\frac{35}{10} - \frac{44}{10} =35 - 44 = -9 so your answer is -\frac{9}{10}
