You and your friend are having a race, but since you are faster than him, you decide to give him a head start. He starts 10m in

front of the starting line while you start on the starting line. You run at 6 meters/second, while your friend runs at 5.5 meters/second. After how many seconds will you and your friend be same distance from the starting line? seconds months

Answer:

20 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Your friend starts 10 meters in front of the starting line.

You start from the starting line.

You run at 6 meters/ second.

Your friend runs at 5.5 meters/second.

You and your friend will be at the same distance from the starting line only when you are able to catch your friend.

The relative speed between you two is the difference in your speed and your friend's speed that is:

$6-5.5=0.5m/s$

So to cover 10 meters of separation at the speed of 0.5 meter/second it will take:

$t=\frac{10}{0.5}= \frac{100}{5}=20s$

So it will take 20 seconds for you and your friend to be at the same distance from the starting line.

Given an arithmetic sequence with a3=5 and a5=19, find the 24th term.

krok68 [10]

The 24th term is 152

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is:

$a_n=a+(n-1)d$ , where

a is the first term
d is the common difference between consecutive terms

The third term means n = 3

∵ $a_3=a+(3-1)d$

∴ $a_3=a+2d$

∵ $a_3$ = 5

- Equate the right hand sides of the third term

∴ a + 2d = 5 ⇒ (1)

The fifth term means n = 5

∵ $a_5=a+(5-1)d$

∴ $a_5=a+4d$

∵ $a_5$ = 19

- Equate the right hand sides of the fifth term

∴ a + 4d = 19 ⇒ (2)

Now we have a system of equations to solve it

Subtract equation (1) from equation (2) to eliminate a

∴ 2d = 14

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ d = 7

- Substitute the value of d in equation (1) to find a

∵ a + 2(7) = 5

∴ a + 14 = 5

- Subtract 14 from both sides

∴ a = -9

The twenty fourth term means n = 24

∵ a = -9 and d = 7

- Substitute the values of a and d in the formula of the nth term

∴ $a_24=-9+(24-1)(7)$

∴ $a_24=-9+(23)(7)$

∴ $a_24=-9+161$

∴ $a_24=152$

The 24th term is 152

A consulting firm had predicted that 35% of the employees at a large firm would take advantage of a new company Credit Union, bu

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

a) 0.4770

b) 3.9945

c) z-statistics seem a large value

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>a. Find the standard deviation of the sample proportion based on the null hypothesis</u>

Based on the null hypothesis:

$p_{0}$ : 0.35

and the standard deviation σ = $\sqrt{p_{0} *(1-p_{0}) }$ = $\sqrt{0.35 *0.65 }$ ≈0.4770

<u>b. Find the z statistic</u>

z-statistic is calculated as follows:

z= $\frac{X-p_{o} }{\frac{s}{\sqrt{N} } }$ where

X is the proportion of employees in the survey who take advantage of the Credit Union ( $\frac{138}{300}=0.46$ )
$p_{0}$ is the proportion in null hypothesis (0.35)
s is the standard deviation (0.4770)
N is the sample size (300)

putting the numbers in the formula:

z= $\frac{0.46-0.35} }{\frac{0.4770}{\sqrt{300} } }$ = 3.9945

<u>c. Does the z statistic seem like a particularly large or small value?</u>

z-statistics seem a large value, which will cause us to reject the null hypothesis.

In this question , all lengths are in centimetres. AB= 3x-4,AC=2x+12,BC=7x-2.given AB:AC=1:2 show that AC:BC=2:3

Lelu [443]

Answer:

AX : XB as AB : AC

AX = 5

XB = 4

AC = 6

AB = x

Step-by-step explanation:

5 : 4 as to x : 6

ratios can also be written as fractions...

5/4 = x/6 ..now we have a proportion...so we cross multiply

(4)(x) = (5)(6)

4x = 30

x = 30/4

x = 15/2 <==== AB = 15/2

Solve the system of equations: <br> X+y+z=5<br> -3x-4y+4z=15<br> 2x-y-4z=-8

atroni [7]

Answer:

(x, y, z) = (3, -2, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The attachment shows a solution using a graphing calculator where the first equation is solved for z, and that expression is substituted into each of the other two equations. The solution to that system is (x, y) = (3, -2). Using these values in the expression for z, we find ...

z = 5 -(3 +(-2)) = 4

The solution is (x, y, z) = (3, -2, 4).

__

Your graphing calculator and/or online tools can give you the reduced row echelon form of the augmented matrix representing the system:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&1&1&5\\-3&-4&4&15\\2&-1&-4&-8\end{array}\right]$

__

If you're solving by hand, you can do the substitution described above to eliminate z from one equation. You can eliminate z from another equation by adding the last two:

-3x -4y +4(5 -x -y) = 15 ⇒ -7x -8y = -5

(-3x -4y +4z) +(2x -y -4z) = (15) +(-8) ⇒ -x -5y = 7

This pair of equations can be solved for x and y in any of the usual ways. Using the second equation to substitute for x, for example, gives you ...

-7(-5y -7) -8y = -5 ⇒ 27y = -54 ⇒ y = -2

x = -5(-2) -7 = 3

z = 5 -(3) -(-2) = 4

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

If all that is needed is a solution, we prefer a graphical or matrix approach. These take about the same amount of time. Both require a little additional effort to determine exact values when the solutions are not integers.
