Answer: The equations are 5t + e = 725 and 3t + e = 505

Step-by-step explanation: We shall start by assigning letters to the unknown variables, hence we shall call the treadmill t, and we shall call the elliptical machine e.

If on Saturday, she ran 5 miles on the treadmill and 1 mile on the elliptical machine and she burned 725 calories in the process, we can express this as

5t + e = 725 ------(1)

Also on Sunday, she ran 3 miles on the treadmill and 1 mile on the elliptical machine and burned 505 calories in the process, that too can be expressed as

3t + e = 505 ------(2)

We now have a pair of simultaneous equations which an be solved by the elimination method (reason being that on of the unknowns have the same coefficient, that is variable e).

Subtract equation (2) from equation (1) and you arrive at;

2t = 220

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

t = 110

Having calculated the value of t, substitute for the value of t into equation (1)

5t + e = 725

5(110) + e = 725

550 + e = 725

Subtract 550 from both sides of the equation

e = 175

The above calculations shows that the calories burned on each gym equipment are;

Treadmill = 110 per hour

Elliptical = 175 per hour

A ball is thrown with a slingshot at a velocity of 110 ft./sec. at an angle 20 degrees above the ground from a height of 4.5 ft.
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

T= 2.35 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒The question is on the time of flight.

⇒Time of flight is the time taken for a projected object to reach the ground.It depends on the <u>projectile angle</u> and the <u>initial velocity</u> of the projectile

Given;

Initial velocity of ball= 110ft./sec.

The projectile angle= 20°

Acceleration due to gravity, g=32 ft./s²

⇒Formulae for time of fright T= (2×u×sin Ф)/g

Where T=time of fright, u=initial velocity of projectile, Ф=projectile angle and g=acceleration due o gravity.

<u>Substituting values</u>

T= (2×u×sin Ф)/g

T=( 2×110×sin 20°) / 32

T= 2.35 seconds

1. Part A: Use the properties of exponents to explain why 64^1/2 is called the square root of 64.
Dmitriy789 [7]
A: When you multiply two numbers, their exponents add. 
So, 64^{\frac{1}{2}} * 64^{\frac{1}{2}} = 64^{\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2}} = 64^{1} = 64

Since 64^1/2 multiplied by itself is 64, then it is the square root of 64.

B: The area is irrational. 7 * √7 is irrational.
