Person a can walk 5 miles in an hour.
Person b can walk 3 miles in an hour.
They are 12 miles apart, and after an hour they have covered 8 miles.

8:1 = 12:x

8x = 12

x = 1.5

After an hour and a half, they will meet.

Check:
5 miles : 1 hour = 7.5 miles : 1.5 hours

3 miles : 1 hour = 4.5 miles : 1.5 hours

Together, they should have covered 12 miles.
7.5 + 4.5 = 12

It takes 1.5 hours to meet eachother.

Answer:

  y > -x -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is shaded <em>above</em> the <em>dashed</em> line, indicating y-values in the solution are greater than those on the line, so your inequality will start with ...

  y >

The y-intercept of the line is (0, -3), so the "b" value in ...

  y > mx +b

will be -3.

The line has a rise of -3 for a run of 3 (between the marked points), so the slope is ...

  m = rise/run = -3/3 = -1

Then the inequality you want is ...

  y > -x -3

lana [24]

Answer:

Confidence interval:  (1760,1956)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Sample size, n = 81

Sample mean =

\bar{x} = 1858 \text{ kWh}

Population standard deviation =

\sigma = 450 \text{ kilowatt-hours}

Confidence Level = 95%

Significance level = 5% = 0.05

Confidence interval:

\bar{x} \pm z_{critical}\displaystyle\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Putting the values, we get,

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = \pm 1.96

1858 \pm 1.96(\displaystyle\frac{450}{\sqrt{81}} ) = 1858 \pm 98 = (1760,1956)

Find the roots of the quadratic equation w+w²/3=0​
Daniel [21]

I assume that the equation you mean is below:

\large \boxed{w +  \frac{ {w}^{2} }{3}  = 0}

To find roots for this equation, we have to get rid of the denominator. We can do by multiplying both sides by 3.

\large{w(3) +  \frac{ {w}^{2} }{3} (3) = 0(3)} \\  \large{3w +  {w}^{2}  = 0}

Factor w-term out (common factor)

\large{w(3 + w) = 0} \\  \large{w = 0 \:  \:  \:  or \:  \:  \: 3 + w = 0} \\  \large{w = 0, - 3}

Answer

  • The roots of quadratic equation are 0,-3
