you run 1 mile in 8 minutes at a constant speed. How far do you run in 1 minute? write an equation to represent how far you can

run in x minutes. Explain how you can use your equation to find how far you can run in 11 minutes.

Answer:

0.125

0.125x = Distance Traveled in Miles

0.125 * 11 = 1.375 Miles Ran

Step-by-step explanation:

First divide 1 mile by 8 minutes

1 mi / 8 min = 0.125 mi

Then you simply show 0.125 * x (x being the number you insert to find the distance) = How far you ran

0.125x = Distance Traveled in Miles

Finally you insert 11 for x and multiply to find the distance

0.125 * 11 = 1.375 Miles Ran

Two angles are supplementary. One angle measures 26o more than the other. Find the measure of the two angles.

nikitadnepr [17]

Supplementary angles are angles whose sum is equal to 180°.

Let one angle be x
The other angle is said to be 26°more than the other so it is x + 26

x + (x+26) = 180
x + x + 26 = 180
2x = 180 - 26
2x = 154
x = 154/2
x = 77

1st angle, x, is equal to 77°
2nd angle, x + 26°, is 77° + 26° = 103°

77° + 103° = 180°
180° = 180°

A person calls people to ask if they would like to extend their automobile insurance beyond the normal3years. The probability th

Sonbull [250]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0231 = 2.31% probability that the first person to say yes will occur with the seventh customer.

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes, either they say yes, or they say no. The probability of a person saying yes is independent of any other person, which means that the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.
n is the number of trials.
p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

The probability that the seventh person is the first to say yes is P(X = 0) when n = 6(first six say no) multiplied by 0.37(probability the seventh say yes).
37% say yes, hence $p = 0.37$

Then:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.37)^{0}.(0.63)^{6} = 0.0625$

$p = 0.37(0.0625) = 0.0231$

0.0231 = 2.31% probability that the first person to say yes will occur with the seventh customer.

Which point would be a solution to the system of linear inequalities shown below? y>4 x-5\hspace{50px}y\ge\frac{3}{5} x-1 y&g

Sauron [17]

Answer:

$x < \frac{20}{17}$ and $y \ge \frac{-5}{17}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y>4 x-5\hspace{50px}y\ge\frac{3}{5} x-1$

Required

Find x and y

In the second equation. Assume that:

$y = \frac{3}{5}x - 1\\$

Substitute $y = \frac{3}{5}x - 1$ in the first equation

$y > 4x - 5$

$\frac{3}{5}x - 1 > 4x - 5$

Collect like terms

$\frac{3}{5}x - 4x > - 5 + 1$

$\frac{3}{5}x - 4x > -4$

Multiply through by 5

$3x - 20x > -20$

$-17x > -20$

Solve for x

$x < \frac{20}{17}$

Substitute this value of x in $y \ge \frac{3}{5}x - 1$

$y \ge \frac{3}{5}*\frac{20}{17} - 1$

$y \ge \frac{3}{1}*\frac{4}{17} - 1$

$y \ge \frac{12}{17} - 1$

$y \ge \frac{12- 17}{17}$

$y \ge \frac{-5}{17}$

What is the value of E(-1) n (3n+2)?

RoseWind [281]

<h3>Answer: C) 6</h3>

====================================================

Explanation:

The weird looking E symbol is the greek uppercase letter sigma. It refers to a sum.

It tells us to add up terms in the form (-1)^n*(3n+2) where n is an integer ranging from n = 1 to n = 4.

------------------

If n = 1, then we have

(-1)^n*(3n+2) = (-1)^1*(3*1+2) = -5

Let A = -5 as we'll use it later.

------------------

If n = 2, then

(-1)^n*(3n+2) = (-1)^2*(3*2+2) = 8

Let B = 8 since we'll use this later as well

------------------

If n = 3, then

(-1)^n*(3n+2) = (-1)^3*(3*3+2) = -11

Let C = -11

-------------------

If n = 4, then

(-1)^n*(3n+2) = (-1)^4*(3*4+2) = 14

Let D = 14.

--------------------

We'll add up the values of A,B,C,D to get the final answer

A+B+C+D = -5+8+(-11)+14 = 6

This means that

$\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{4}(-1)^n(3n+2) = 6$
