Answer: Destiny's speed is 11 mph.

Alicia's speed is 15 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Destiny and Alicia both leave the coffee shop at the same time, but in opposite directions. If they are 78 miles apart after 3 hours, it means that the total distance that they covered in 3hours is 78 miles

Let x represent the speed at which Destiny travelled. If Alicia travels 4 mph faster than Destiny, it means that the speed at which Alicia travelled is (x + 4) mph

Distance = speed × time

Distance covered by Destiny in 3 hours is

3 × x = 3x

Distance covered by Alicia in 3 hours is

3(x + 4) = 3x + 12

Since the total distance is 78 miles, then

3x + 3x + 12 = 78

6x = 78 - 12 = 66

x = 66/6 = 11 mph

Alicia's speed is

11 + 4 = 15 mph

Find the Area of the figure below, composed of a rectangle and one semicircle, with another semicircle removed. Round to the nea
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

  72 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure shown has a uniform horizontal cross section, so is equivalent to a rectangle with length 12 and height 6. Its area is given by the rectangle formula:

  A = LW

  A = (12)(6) = 72 . . . . square units

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

Essentially, the semicircle removed from the left side is tacked onto the right side. The rectangle area is unchanged by that.

Calculate the a) future value of the annuity due, and b) total interest earned. (From Example 2)
vredina [299]

Answer:

  • value: $66,184.15
  • interest: $6,184.15

Step-by-step explanation:

The future value can be computed using the formula for an annuity due. It can also be found using any of a variety of calculators, apps, or spreadsheets.

__

<h3>formula</h3>

The formula for the value of an annuity due with payment P, interest rate r, compounded n times per year for t years is ...

  FV = P(1 +r/n)((1 +r/n)^(nt) -1)/(r/n)

  FV = 5000(1 +0.06/4)((1 +0.06/4)^(4·3) -1)/(0.06/4) ≈ 66,184.148

  FV ≈ 66,184.15

<h3>calculator</h3>

The attached calculator screenshot shows the same result. The calculator needs to have the begin/end flag set to "begin" for the annuity due calculation.

__

<h3>a) </h3>

The future value of the annuity due is $66,184.15.

<h3>b)</h3>

The total interest earned is the difference between the total of deposits and the future value:

  $66,184.15 -(12)(5000) = 6,184.15

A total of $6,184.15 in interest was earned by the annuity.
