Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The time for each canoe is 3.5 hours

The total distance traveled by the first canoe is not known. Nor is the distance for the second canoe. We do know that the difference is 5.25 miles.

So let the rate of the slower canoe = x

Let the rate for the second canoe = 2x

The first canoe goes a distance of 2*x * 3.5 = 7x

The second canoe goes a distance of 3.5x

The difference = 7x - 3.5x = 5.25

3.5x = 5.25                                       divide by 3.5

x = 5.25/3.5

x = 1.5 which is the rate of the slower canoe

2x = 3  which is the rate of the faster canoe

We know that \overline{x}=8 so:

\overline{x}=8\\\\\\\dfrac{\sum\limits_{k=1}^7\,x_k}{7}=8\qquad|\cdot7\\\\\\ \boxed{\sum\limits_{k=1}^7\,x_k=56}

We want to calculate:

\sum\limits_{k=1}^7\,\big(2x_k-3\big)^2=\sum\limits_{k=1}^7\,\big(4x_k^2-12x_k+9\big)=\\\\\\=\sum\limits_{k=1}^7\,4x_k^2-\sum\limits_{k=1}^7\,\big12x_k+\sum\limits_{k=1}^7\,9=4\sum\limits_{k=1}^7\,x_k^2-12\sum\limits_{k=1}^7\,x_k+\sum\limits_{k=1}^7\,9=\\\\\\=4\cdot672-12\cdot56+7\cdot9=2688-672+63=\boxed{2079}

Dedi had a combination lock.To open the lock he started at 37.He made 3 half turns clockwise and 3 quarter turns anticlockwise
Lerok [7]
Turning clockwise means the number increase, and counterclockwise means the number decreases

Therefore your answer is 37 + (3*1/2)-(3*1/4)

= 37.75

Hope this helped :)

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

−24x2+12xy+6x

Step-by-step explanation:

6x(2y−4x+1)

=(6x)(2y+−4x+1)

=(6x)(2y)+(6x)(−4x)+(6x)(1)

=12xy−24x2+6x
