Answer:
distance travelled by sprinter = 100 m
Time taken = 11.21sec
∵speed = distance/time taken
= 100/9.83
= 10.17 m/s
Now we know, 1 km/h = 1000/3600 m/s
so, 1 m/s = 3600/1000 km/h = 18/5 km/h
∴ 10.17 m/s = 10.17 × 18/5 = 10.17 × 18/5 = 36.612 km/h
Hence, average speed = 36.612 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, this problem is best solved by setting up a system of two linear equations.
A linear equation can be defined
y=mx+b
where
b=initial value (when x=0), and
m=rate of increase or decrease.
In the given example, the x-axis represents hour, and the y-axis, number of cells.
Chemical #1
initial value = b = 12000 cells
rate = m = -4000 / hr
The equation is therefore
y1=-4000x+12000......................(1)
Similarly, for chemical #2
initial value = b = 6000 cells
rate = m = -3000 / hr
The equation is therefore
y2=-3000x+6000 .......................(2)
The time the two will have an equal sized colony would represent the solution of the system of equations (1) and (2), i.e. when y1=y2
which means
-4000x+12000 = -3000x+6000
transpose and solve for x
4000x-3000x = 12000-6000
1000x=6000
x=6 hours.
At 6 hours from the start,
y=-4000x+12000 = -4000*6+12000 = -24000+12000 = -12000 cells
So the solution is x=6, y=-12000, or (6,-12000)
Physical interpretation
Since cells cannot have a negative number, the two are actually equal before six hours, when they are both zero.
Case 1: y=0 when x=3
Case 2: y=0 when x=2
Therefore, after three hours, both trials will have zero cells.
You have to judge whether to give the mathematical solution (x=6,y=-12000) or the physical interpretation (x=3, y=0) as the answer.

Answer:
x = 250°
Step-by-step explanation:
Inscribed angle = ½(intercepted arc measure) (inscribed angles theorem)
x is intercepted arc measure
125° is the inscribed angle
Therefore:
125° = ½(x)
Multiply both sides by 2
2*125° = x
250 = x
x = 250°
