Ricky, Sam, and Timothy cycles from Airy Town to Brightvale which was 9km apart. Ricky cycles at a constant x km/h. Sam cycled a

t y km/h faster than Ricky and took 40 minutes to reach Brightvale. Timothy cycles y km/h slower than Ricky and took 50 minutes to complete the same distance.
By forming 2 equations in x and y, find the speed in which Ricky cycled.

12.15 km /h

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given

Distance between Airy Town to Brightvale  = 9 km

Speed of Ricky = x km/h

Step 2:

Speed taken by Sam = x + y km/h

Time taken by Sam = 40 min = 40/60 hrs = 2/3 hrs

so we have (x+y) 2/3 = 9

Step 3:

Speed taken by Timothy = x - y km / h

Time taken by Timothy = 50 min = 50/60 = 5/6 hrs

= > (x-y) 5/6 = 9

Step 4 :

Solving the 2 equations

(x+y) 2/3 = 9 and (x-y) 5/6 = 9 we have

(2/3)x + 2/3(y) = 9 = > 2x + 2 y = 27

5/6(x) - 5/6(y) = 9 = > 5 x - 5 y = 54

Multiplying the first equation by 5 and the second by 2 we have ,

10 x + 10 y = 135 and 10 x - 10y = 108

Adding both,

20 x = 243 => x = 12.15.

This gives speed of Ricky as 12.15 km /h

what are the minimum first quartile median third quartile and the maximum of the data set? 9,20,4,18,4,18,20,9
den301095 [7]
<u>Answers</u>
1. Minimum = 4
2. First quartile = 6.5
3. Median = 13.5
4. Third quartile = 19
5. Maximum = 20

<u>Explanation</u>
To calculate the measure of central tendency, you first arrange the set of the data in ascending order.  
The set of data given will be;
4, 4, 9, 9, 18, 18, 20, 20.

Part 1:
The minimum value of the data is 4.

Part 2:
The first quatile is the median of the lower half which is comprised by:
4, 4, 9, 9

1st quartile = (4+9)÷2
                  = 13÷2
                  = 6.5

Part 3:
Median of the data is;

Median = (9+18)÷2
              =27÷2
            = 13.5

Part 4:
3rd quartile is the median of the upper half which comprises of; 
18, 18, 20, 20.

3rd quartile = (18+20)÷2
                  = 48÷2
                   = 19

Part 5
The maximum of the set of data is 20.

What is the axis of symmetry of the function f(x) = –(x + 9)(x – 21)?
ludmilkaskok [199]
First, we have to realize that this is factored form, so we have to put this in standard quadratic form using FOIL, which is a rule mandating how we multiply the numbers here. F stands for First, which means the first number inside the parentheses for both of them, then O means the first number in the first quantity(fancy word for parentheses) multiplied by the last number of the second quantity, and so forth. When you are done, you combine like terms

anyway, you end up with x²-12x-189, but you have to inverse all numbers because of the parentheses in front, so it becomes -x²+12x+189.

Now you can find the axis of symmetry uisng the equation -b=2a (oh yeah, I forgot to mention: the standard quadratic form is a(x)²+b(x)+c already). So you do -12 / -2, which then becomes 6.

The axis of symmetry is 6
