Starting at home, Emily traveled uphill to the hardware store for 60 minutes at just 6 mph. She then traveled back home along th

e same path downhill at a speed of 12 mph. What is her average speed for the entire trip from home to the hardware store and back? (I need the rate version for this. 24 and 6 are not correct)

 The distance traveled was 6 miles  (6 mph times 1 hour).

The total distance traveled was 12 miles.

The downhill journey lasted   (6 mi) / (12 mph), or 1/2 hr.

Thus, the average speed was 

12 miles         12 mi
------------- = ------------ = 8 mph
(1 1/2 hr)       (3/2) hr

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

area of Δ=1/2×8×6=24

also area ofΔ=1/2×10×x

1/2×10×x=24

5x=24

x=24/5=4.8

Sladkaya [172]
Change in y: -2, goes down 2
Change in x: 5, goes right 5
slope: change in y/ change is x
which is -2/5, and that's B

Let us analyze the following setting. You are given a circle of unit circumference. You pickkpoints on the circle independently
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

We have been given a unit circle which is cut at k different points to produce k different arcs. Now we can see firstly that the sum of lengths of all k arks is equal to the circumference:

\small \sum_{i = 1}^{k} L_i= 2\pi

Now consider the largest arc to have length \small l . And we represent all the other arcs to be some constant times this length.

we get :

 \small \sum_{i = 1}^{k} C_i.l = 2\pi

where C(i) is a constant coefficient obviously between 0 and 1.

\small \sum_{i = 1}^{k} C_i= 2\pi/l

All that I want to say by using this step is that after we choose the largest length (or any length for that matter) the other fractions appear according to the above summation constraint. [This step may even be avoided depending on how much precaution you wanna take when deriving a relation.]

So since there is no bias, and \small l may come out to be any value from [0 , 2π] with equal probability, the expected value is then defined as just the average value of all the samples.

We already know the sum so it is easy to compute the average :

\small L_{Exp} = \frac{2\pi}{k}
