Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate b - -1/8 + c where b = 2 and c = -7/4:

b - (-1)/8 + c = 2 - (-1)/8 - 7/4

Put 2 + 1/8 - 7/4 over the common denominator 8. 2 + 1/8 - 7/4 = (8×2)/8 + 1/8 + (2 (-7))/8:

(8×2)/8 + 1/8 - (7×2)/8

8×2 = 16:

16/8 + 1/8 - (7×2)/8

2 (-7) = -14:

16/8 + 1/8 + (-14)/8

16/8 + 1/8 - 14/8 = (16 + 1 - 14)/8:

(16 + 1 - 14)/8

16 + 1 = 17:

(17 - 14)/8

The waiting time to ride a roller coaster is 20 minutes when 150 people are in line. How long is the waiting time when 240 peopl

laiz [17]

Answer: The waiting time will be 32 minutes when 240 people in line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the waiting time is directly proportional to the number of people in the queue.

Equation of direct proportion between variables x and y : $\dfrac{x_1}{y_1}=\dfrac{x_2}{y_2}$

Put $x_1=20,\ y_1=150,\ y_2=150$ to find $x_2$ .

$\dfrac{20}{150}=\dfrac{x_2}{240}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x_2=\dfrac{20}{150}\times240\\\\\Rightarrow\ x_2=32$

Hence, the waiting time will be 32 minutes when 240 people in line.

A strobe light is located at the center of a square dance room. the rotating light is 40 feet from each of the square walls and

Effectus [21]

The equation of the rotating light is an illustration of a secant function

The equation that represents the distance between the center of the circle and the light source is $d(t) = 40\sec(\frac{\pi}{3}t)$

<h3>How to determine the equation</h3>

The equation is a secant function represented by

$y =A\sec(Bt)$

Where:

A represents the amplitude

So, we have:

$A = 40$ --- the distance of the light from each square wall

B represents the period, and it is calculated as:

$B = \frac{2\pi}{T}$

The light completes its full rotation every 6 seconds.

This means that,

T = 6

So, we have:

$B = \frac{2\pi}{6}$

Simplify

$B = \frac{\pi}{3}$

Substitute values for A and B in $y =A\sec(Bt)$

$y = 40\sec(\frac{\pi}{3}t)$

Rewrite as a function

$d(t) = 40\sec(\frac{\pi}{3}t)$

Hence, the equation that represents the distance between the center of the circle and the light source is $d(t) = 40\sec(\frac{\pi}{3}t)$

The speed of a stream is 4km/h. A boat travels 6 km upstream in the time it takes to travel 12 km downstream. What is the speed

Usimov [2.4K]

<span>6 km × 1 hour/(b-4 km) = 12 km × (1 hour/(b+4 km)

6/(b-4) hours = 12/(b+4) hours

6(b+4) = 12(b-4)

6b + 24 = 12b - 48
72 = 6b
b = 12
The boat's speed in still water is 12 km/hour.</span>
