S = d / t
t = d / s
D = half trip distance
---
first half (a):
t = d / s
ta = D/80
---
second half (b):
t = d / s
tb = D/x
where x is the unknown speed for the second half
---
whole trip:
s = d / t
60 = 2D / (ta + tb)
60 = 2D / (D/80 + D/x)
60(D/80 + D/x) = 2D
60(xD/80x + 80D/80x) = 2D
(60D/80x)(x + 80) = 2D
(60/80x)(x + 80) = 2
x + 80 = 2*(80/60)x
x + 80 = (2.666666)x
(2.666666)x - x = 80
(1.666666)x = 80
x = 80/1.666666
x = 48.0
---
answer:
the speed for the last half of the trip must be: 48 mph

hope this helps

There were about 1.22 million Hispanic-owned businesses in 2012 and 1.73 million in 2017.
fredd [130]

Answer:

  f(t) = 1.22·(173/122)^(t/5)

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) An exponential growth (or decay) function can be written using the form ...

  f(t) = (initial value)·(ratio in period)^(t/period)

Here, we're given an initial value of 1.22, a growth ratio of 1.73/1.22 in a period of 5 years, so we can write the function as ...

  f(t) = 1.22·(173/122)^(t/5)

__

(b) In 2038-2012 = 26 years, the value of the function is ...

  f(26) = 1.22·(173/122)^(26/5) ≈ 7.50 . . . . million

Determine whether the series is convergent or divergent. [infinity] n = 1 1 n√9 the series is a ---select--- p-series with p =
inna [77]

The series is a convergent p-series with p = 3

<h3>How to know it is a divergent or a convergent series</h3>

We would know that a series is a convergent p series when we have ∑ 1 np. Then you have to be able to tell if the series is a divergent p series or it is a convergent p series.

The way that you are able to tell this is if the terms of the series do not approach towards 0. Now when the value of p is greater than 1 then you would be able to tell that the series is a convergent series.

The value of \sqrt{9}= 3

The formular for this is

∑\frac{1}{n^p} \\

where n = 1

we know it is convergent because p is greater than 1. 3>1
