Answer:

Her speed is 5 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the speed is given by:

v = \frac{d}{t}

In which d is the distance, and t is the time.

In this question:

Distance: 1/4 mile = 0.25 miles.

Time: 1/20 hour = 0.05 hours.

So

v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{0.25}{0.05} = 5

Since the distance is in miles and the time in hours, the speed is in miles per hour.

Her speed is 5 miles per hour.

If vectors u,v and w ar linearly indepndnt, will u-v,v-w & u-w also be linearly indpnt? ...?

No they won’t be.Consider the linear combination (1)(u – v) + (1) (v – w) + (-1)(u – w).This will add to 0. But the coefficients aren’t all 0.Therefore, those vectors aren’t linearly independent.
You can try an example of this with (1, 0, 0), (0, 1, 0), and (0, 0, 1), the usual basis vectors of R3.
That method relied on spotting the solution immediately.If you couldn’t see that, then there’s another approach to the problem.
We know that u, v, w are linearly independent vectors.So if au + bv + cw = 0, then a, b, and c are all 0 by definition.
Suppose we wanted to ask whether u – v, v – w, and u – w are linearly independent.Then we’d like to see if there are non-zero coefficients in the linear combinationd(u – v) + e(v – w) + f(u – w) = 0, where d, e, and f are scalars.
Distributing, we get du – dv + ev – ew + fu – fw = 0.Then regrouping by vector: (d + f)u + (-d +e)v + (-e – f)w = 0.
But now we have a linear combo of u, v, and w vectors.Therefore, all the coefficients must be 0.So d + f = 0, -d + e = 0, and –e – f = 0. It turns out that there’s a free variable in this solution.Say you let d be the free variable.Then we see f = -d and e = d.
Then any solution of the form (d, e, f) = (d, d, -d) will make (d + f)u + (-d +e)v + (-e – f)w = 0 a true statement.
Let d = 1 and you get our original solution. You can let d = 2, 3, or anything if you want.

Question 3solve the problem.a moving firm charges a flat fee of $45 plus $40 per hour. Let y be the cost in dollars of using the
MaRussiya [10]

slope (m) = rate.    $40 per hour is the rate, so m = 45

y-intercept (b) = one time fee.   $45 is the flat rate which is the one time fee, so b = 45

y = mx + b

y = 40x + 45

Answer: A

Estimate 196 and 482
geniusboy [140]
When you estimate you round to the nearest whole number (simply to make it easier.) Depending on what place you need to estimate to (like hundreds, or just tens..)

Let's turn 196 into 200 and 482 into 480

200+480 = 680

Hope this hlps!
