Ji-Hun and Kana are running a marathon. Due to the volume of people running, the starts occur in waves. Kana starts at 9:35 a.m.

and runs at an average rate of 7 miles per hour. Ji-Hun starts at 10:00 a.m. and runs at an average rate of 8 mph. Assuming constant paces and no stops, in how many miles will Ji-Hun catch up to Kana?

Answer:

23.52 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us find the number of miles that they would have run.

Kana starts at 9:35 a.m. and runs at an average rate of 7 mph.

Let the time she has spent so far be t.

Speed is given as:

s = d / t

where d = distance and t = time

=> d = s * t

Therefore, for Kana:

d = 7 * t = 7t _____________(1)

Ji-Hun starts at 10:00 am (25 minutes after Hannah) and runs at an average rate of 8 mph.

25 minutes = 25/60 hour = 0.42 hour

So, his time (compared to Kana's) is t - 0.42.

therefore, for Ji-Hun:

d = 8 * (t - 0.42)

=> d = 8t - 3.36 ____________(2)

Equating (1) and (2):

7t = 8t - 3.36

=> 8t - 7t = 3.36

t = 3.36 hours

Therefore, let us find d:

d = 7 * 3.36 = 23.52 miles

So, Ji-Hun will catch up to Kana after 23.52 miles.

Actual lengths of pregnancy terms for a particular species of mammal are nearly normally distributed about a mean pregnancy leng
HACTEHA [7]

Solution :

The data is normally distributed.

The standard deviation is 18 days

Here the data is normally distributed and 54 days is 3 days of standard deviation.

Therefore, the percentage of the births that would be \text{expected to occur} within the 54 days of the mean \text{pregnancy} length is given by :

= P( -3 < Z < 3)

= 0.9544

= 95 %

Therefore, about 95% of the births would be \text{expected to occur} within 54 days of the men \text{pregnancy} length.

How to determine if a function is even or odd calculus?
aalyn [17]
A function f(x) is even if f(-x)=f(x), and is odd if f(-x)=-f(x).

Example:

f(x)=x^2 is even, since f(-x)=(-x)^2=x^2=f(x).

g(x)=x^3-x is odd, since g(-x)=(-x)^3-(-x)=-x^3+x=-(x^3-x)=-g(x).

A square has a area of 466.56m squared work out the peremiter
MissTica

Answer:

Perimeter = 86.4 (m)

Step-by-step explanation:

A square (with side x) has an area of 466.56 (m^2)

=> x^2 = 466.56

=> x = sqrt(466.56) = 21.6

=> Perimeter of this square: P = 4(x) = 4(21.6) = 86.4 (m)

Hope this helps!

What are the possible numbers of positive, negative, and complex zeros of f(x) = 3x4 − 5x3 − x2 − 8x + 4?
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Two positive zeros, no negative zeros, two complex roots.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is f(x)=3x^4-5x^3-x^2-8x+4

According to the fundamental theorem of algebra, the function will have 4 roots.

The graph of the function intersects the positive axis at two points.

Hence the function has two positive zeros and no negative zeros.

The two remaining roots are imaginary. The function has two complex zeros.
