Answer:

Part A. At least 6 hours

Part B.  In less than 2.5 hours Elijah will be behind Mercedes

Part C.  In more than 2.5 hours Elijah will be ahead Aubrey

Step-by-step explanation:

D = distance

v =speed

t = time

Formula connecting D, v and t:

D=v\cdot t

Part A.

Steve's speed: v=3.5\ mph

Distance: at least 21 miles

Time: unknown, so

3.5\cdot t\ge 21\\ \\35t\ge 210\ [\text{Multiplied by 10}]\\ \\t\ge \dfrac{210}{35}\\ \\t\ge \dfrac{30}{5}\\ \\t\ge 6

It would take Steve at least 6 hours to walk at least 21 mi on Day 1.

Part B.

Mercedes's speed: v_M=2.4\ mph

Elijan's speed: v_E=3.2\ mph

Elijan's Distance walked: D_E miles

Mercedes's Distance walked: D_M miles

Time: x hours

Mercedes is 2 miles ahead, so

D_E=3.2x\\ \\D_M=2.4x+2

Elijan will be behind when

D_E

In 2.5 hours Elijan will catch up Mercedes, and in less than 2.5 hours Elijah will be behind Mercedes.

Part C.

Aubrey's speed: v_M=3\ mph

Elijan's speed: v_E=3.2\ mph

Elijan's Distance walked: D_E miles

Aubrey's Distance walked: D_A miles

Time: x hours

At the beginning of Day 3, Elijah starts walking at the marker for Mile 42,  and Aubrey starts walking at the marker for Mile 42.5.

D_E=42+3.2x\\ \\D_A=42.5+3x

Elijan will be ahead of Aubrey when

D_E>D_A\\ \\42+3.2x> 42.5+3x\\ \\3.2x-3x>42.5-42\\ \\0.2x>0.5\\ \\2x>5\ [\text{Multiplied by 10}]\\ \\x>\dfrac{5}{2}\\ \\x>2.5\ hours

In 2.5 hours Elijan will catch up Aubrey, and in more than 2.5 hours Elijah will be ahead Aubrey.

Bill wanted to try out different water craft he went 62 mikes downstream in a motor boat and 27 mikes down stream on a jest ski
valina [46]

Answer:

The speed on motorboat is 20 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

here, we want to find the speed on the motorboat

if he has a speed of x mph on the motor boat, his speed on the ski will be (x + 10) mph

The total hours is 4 hours

Mathematically; speed = distance/time

Time on ski is 27/x+ 10

Time on motor boat is 62/x

The addition of both is 4

Thus;

27/(x + 10) + 62/x = 4

27(x) + 62(x + 10) = 4(x)(x + 10)

27x + 62x + 620 = 4(x^2 + 10x)

89x + 620 = 4x^2 + 40x

4x^2 -49x-620 = 0

using the quadratic formula;

{-b ± √(b^2-4ac)}/2a

where a = 4, b = -49 and c = -620

= 49 ± √(-49)^2-4(4)(-620)/8

So we have

49+ 111/8 or 49-111/8

Speed cannot be negative

(49 + 111)/8

= 20 mph

Solve the equation. Round to the nearest hundredth. Show work.
Burka [1]

Answer:

x=-0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

4^{-5x-7}=6^{2x-1}

We take logarithm of both sides to base 10.

\log(4^{-5x-7})=\log(6^{2x-1})

(-5x-7)\log(4)=(2x-1)\log(6)

We expand the brackets to get;

-5x\log(4)-7\log(4)=2x\log(6)-\log(6)

Group similar terms;

-7\log(4)+\log(6)=2x\log(6)+5x\log(4)

-7\log(4)+\log(6)=(2\log(6)+5\log(4))x

\frac{-7\log(4)+\log(6)}{(2\log(6)+5\log(4))}=x

x=-0.752478

To the nearest hundredth.

x=-0.75
