Zachary travels on a journey of 50 miles. He spends half

Mathematics

ExtremeBDS [4]3 years ago

Answer: 8 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the relation:

Time  = distance/velocity

Distance = 50 miles

Velocity in horse = 9mph

Velocity walking = 3 1/2 mph = 3.5 mph

Then, if T is the total time, X is the distance that he travels in horse and Y is the distance that he travels by foot, we have:

X + Y = 50 miles:

T/2 = X/9mph

T/2 = Y/3.5mph

Then we have:

X/9mph = Y/3.5mph

X = Y*(9/3.5)

And by the first relation:

X = 50 mi - Y

then we have:

50mi - Y = Y*(9/3.5)

50mi = Y + Y*(9/3.5) = Y*(1 + 9/3.5) = Y*3.57

Y = 50mi/3.57 = 14mi

Then we have:

T/2 = 14mi/3.5mph

T = 2*(14/3.5) hours = 8 hours

A culture of bacteria has an initial population of 650 bacteria and doubles every 9 hours. Using the formula Pt=P0⋅2tdP_t = P_0\
Ghella [55]
So is doubling, first off, meaning, if the current amount say P, then when it doubles is 2P, or double that, or P + P, so the rate of growth is 100%, since it's doubling.

and is doing it every 9 hour cycle, thus

\bf \textit{Periodic/Cyclical Exponential Growth}\\\\&#10;A=P(1 + r)^{\frac{t}{c}}\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\&#10;P=\textit{initial amount}\to &650\\&#10;r=rate\to 100\%\to \frac{100}{100}\to &1.00\\&#10;t=\textit{elapsed time}\to &10\\&#10;c=period\to &9&#10;\end{cases}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;A=650(1 + 1)^{\frac{10}{9}}\implies A=650(2)^{\frac{10}{9}}\implies A=650\sqrt[9]{2^{10}}

A state has a limit on the length of cargo trains the train cannot exceed a length of 1100 feet train a has 28 cars at 30 feet e
Neko [114]
<span>the train cannot exceed a length of 1100 feet

Now, train A = 28 cars at 30 feet each 

Therefore, Train A's total length = 28*30 = 840 feet < 1100 feet.

</span>Now, train B = 22 cars at 40 feet each 

Therefore, Train B's total length = 22*40 = 880 feet < 1100 feet.

Thus, both the <span>trains meet the requirement. </span>
