Irina rode her bike to work at an average speed of 16 miles per hour. It started to rain, so she got a ride home along the same

route in her coworker’s car at an average speed of 27 miles per hour. If Irina’s ride home in the car took 24 minutes (0.4 of an hour), how many hours was her bike ride to work, to the nearest tenth of an hour?

Answer:

0.7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Irina was able to make the same distance from work to home in 0.4 of an hour at 27 miles per hour, we can use this rate and time to find the distance she travels to and from work using the general formula:

d = rt, where d=distance, r = rate and t = time

d = 27(0.4) = 10.8 miles

Since the distance from Irina's home to work is 10.8 miles, we can again use the formula 'd = rt' to find the time it takes her to bike to work at a rate of 16 miles per hour and solving for time, 't':

10.8 = (16)t

t = 0.7 hours

A farmer wants to fence a rectangular area of 72 square feet next to a river. Find the length and width of the rectangle which u
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

  • 12 ft parallel to the river
  • 6 ft perpendicular to the river

Step-by-step explanation:

The least fence is used when half the total fence is parallel to the river. That is, the shape of the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide.

72 = W(2W)

36 = W²

6 = W . . . . . . the width perpendicular to the river

12 = 2W . . . .  the length parallel to the river

_____

<em>Development of this relation</em>

Let T represent the total length of the fence for some area A. Then if x is the length along the river, the width is y=(T-x)/2, and the area is ...

  A = xy = x(T -x)/2

Note that the equation for area is that of a parabola with zeros at x=0 and at x=T. That is, for some fence length T, the area will be a maximum at the vertex of this parabola. That vertex is located halfway between the zeros, at ...

 x = (0 +T)/2 = T/2

The corresponding area width (y) is ...

  y = (T -T/2)/2 = T/4

Equivalently, the fence length T will be a minimum for some area A when x=T/2 and y=T/4. This is the result we used above.

Explain why 2n+1 must be an odd number
Lorico [155]
If is an integer (a whole number), then the expression represents an even number, because even numbers are the multiples of 2. The expressions 2 n − 1 and 2 n + 1 can represent odd numbers, as an odd number is one less, or one more than an even number.

Please help!!! Which equation is in point-slope form and is depicted by the line in this graph?
Blizzard [7]
Y-y1=m(x-x1)
a point on the line is (x1,y1) and the slope is m

so
slope between (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
so

points (-2,3) and (3,0)
slope is (0-3)/(3-(-2))=-3/(3+2)=-3/5
a point is (3,0) Or (-2,3)

so it could be
y-0=-3/5(x-3) or y-3=-3/5(x-(-2)) which is equal to y-3=-3/5(x+2)
that's the answer
