Starting at home, Luis traveled uphill to the gift store for 50 minutes at just 6 mph. He then traveled back home along the same

path downhill at a speed of 12 mph.
What is his average speed for the entire trip from home to the gift store and back?

Let S = his average speed.

Let D = distance traveled one way

Time = distance / speed

Set up an equation:

d/6 + d/12 = 2d/S

Multiply the equation by 12s:

12s(d/6) + 12s(d/12) = 12s(2d/s)

Simplify to get:

2sd + sd = 24d

Combine like terms:

3sd = 24d

Divide both sides by d:

3s = 24

Divide both sides by 3:

s = 24/3

s = 8

His average speed was 8 mph.

Answer:

the correlation coefficient of the line of best fit  is, 0.98247.

Step-by-step explanation:

Correlation Coefficient are used to find how strong relationship between the data. It expressed its values between +1 and -1. It is represented by r.

* if 0<r<1 indicates a strong positive relationship.

* -1<r <0 indicates a strong negative relationship.

* r=0 indicates no relationship at all.

The formula for this :

r = \frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2-(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2-(\sum y)^2]}}

Given the data: (-3, -40) , (1, 12), (5, 72) and (7,137)

Here, n = 4

To calculate the correlation coefficient r;

Substitute the values of data in above formla of r , as shown in the Figure 1:  

then;                  

r=\frac{4\cdot 1451-(10)(181)}{[4\cdot84-(10)^2][4\cdot 256977 -(181)^2]}

or    

r=\frac{5804-1810}{\sqrt{[336-100][102788 -32761]}}=\frac{3994}{\sqrt{[236][70027]}}

or

r=\frac{3994}{4065.26408} =0.98247

Therefore, the correlation coefficient r is, 0.98247 (Positive relationship)

If √7-3√5 = √x-√y, determine the value of x and y where x&gt;y.​
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

x = 45

y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the value of x and y, do the following:

√7 – 3√5

Rearrange

– 3√5 + √7

Multiply through by –1

3√5 – √7 ... (1)

Express 3√5 as a single surd

3√5 = √(3 × 3 × 5)

3√5 = √45

Replace 3√5 with √45 in equation 1

3√5 – √7

√45 – √7

Comparing

√45 – √7 and √x – √y i.e

√45 – √7 = √x – √y

x = 45

y = 7

A total of 765 tickets were sold for the school play. They were either adults or students tickets. There were 65 more student ti
Brrunno [24]

Answer: 350 adult tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

(omg I remember this question!)

  • a stands for the number of adult tickets sold

student tickets : a + 65

<em>the equation for the prob: </em>

765 = a + (a + 65)

<em>solve:</em>

combine 'like terms'

1.) 765 = a + a + 65

2.) 765 = 2a + 65

<u>- 65         - 65 </u>

700= 2a

divide by 2

700/2 = 2a/2

<em>(700/2 = 350) </em>

<em>(the "2" in 2a is cancelled out by the other 2)</em>

<u>350 = a </u>
