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

What is the end behavior in the function y=2x^3-x
sasho [114]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When a question asks for the "end behavior" of a function, they just want to know what happens if you trace the direction the function heads in for super low and super high values of x. In other words, they want to know what the graph is looking like as x heads for both positive and negative infinity. This might be sort of hard to visualize, so if you have a graphing utility, use it to double check yourself, but even without a graph, we can answer this question. For any function involving x^3, we know that the "parent graph" looks like the attached image. This is the "basic" look of any x^3 function; however, certain things can change the end behavior. You'll notice that in the attached graph, as x gets really really small, the function goes to negative infinity. As x gets very very big, the function goes to positive infinity.

Now, taking a look at your function, 2x^3 - x, things might change a little. Some things that change the end behavior of a graph include a negative coefficient for x^3, such as -x^3 or -5x^3. This would flip the graph over the y-axis, which would make the end behavior "swap", basically. Your function doesn't have a negative coefficient in front of x^3, so we're okay on that front, and it turns out your function has the same end behavior as the parent function, since no kind of reflection is occurring. I attached the graph of your function as well so you can see it, but what this means is that as x approaches infinity, or as x gets very big, your function also goes to infinity, and as x approaches negative infinity, or as x gets very small, your function goes to negative infinity.

What is the arc measure of DBC in degree
aliya0001 [1]

The length of both AB and DC is the same.

19 degrees

We want to know the arc measure for the whole circle, except for DC. So, we can subtract the arc measure of DC from 360 to find DBC. Since we found DC above, all we need to do is subtract.

360 - 19 = 341

DBC = 341 degrees

Hope this helps!! :)

The ABC Book Club charges a $40 monthly fee, plus $2 per book read in that month. The Easy Book Club charges a 35$ monthly fee,
MAVERICK [17]
The expression for the cost of the ABC Book Club is 2x + 40. The expression for the cost of the Easy Book Club is 3x + 35. To find when the total charge for both book clubs is equal, the two expressions must equal each other. (x = the number of books read)

2x + 40 = 3x + 35

Subtract 35 from both sides.

2x + 5 = 3x

Subtract 2x from both sides.

5 = x

So, the total charge for each club is equal when 5 books are read.

Four hundred people were asked whether gun laws should be more stringent. three hundred said "yes," and 100 said "no." the point
Anna11 [10]
To find relative frequency of no voters; 

p(A)=favourable outcomes/total outcomes 

p(A)=100/400 

= 1/4 or 0.25 

Therefore, the probability a person will respond with a no is 0.25.

Hope I helped :)

What is the value of the exponential function f (x)=2 times (1/3)^x when x= -2
frutty [35]

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2(1/3)^x

[x = -2]

f(-2) = 2(1/3)⁻²

= 2(9)

= 18
