A tortoise and a hare are competing in a race around a 1600-meter track. The arrogant hare decides to let the tortoise have a 95

0-meter head start. When the start gun is fired the hare begins running at a constant speed of 9.5 meters per second and the tortoise begins crawling at a constant speed of 4 meters per second.a. Define a formula to determine the distance (in meters) of the tortoise from the starting line, t , in terms of the number of seconds, n , since the start gun was fired.b. Preview Define a formula to determine the distance (in meters) of the hare from the starting line, h , in terms of the number of seconds, n since the start gun was fired.c. Preview Define a formula that determines the number of meters the tortoise is ahead of the hare, d , with the number of seconds, n , since the start gun was fired.d. Preview Who finishes the race first?

Answer:

A. t=4n+950

B. h=9.5n

C. d=9.5n-(4n+950)

D. The tortoise will finish first.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the first two equations, we put the rate at which they are traveling in front of the n, and then add where they start. Since the tortoise gets a 950 meter head start, we add 950. The hare is starting at the start line so we don't need to add anything.

For answer c, we need to subtract the two equations from each other to figure out when they would pass each other. d=(equation h)-(equation t).

For the final answer, all you need to do is plug the first two equations into a graph, and then find where each line is at the point of y 1,600. (To make the graphs I replaced the n with x and the t and h with y.) Using this, we are able to see who got there first, which was the tortoise.

The table shows a student's proof of the quotient rule for logarithms.
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The error is at step (3) .

The correct step (3) will be,

\log_{b}(\frac {b^{x}}{b^{y}})

= \log_{b}(b^{x - y})   [by using the laws of indices]

All other steps are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The error is at the step (3) , because the student has tried to prove the quotient rule of logarithms by using the property i.e., 'The quotient rule of logarithm' itself , i.e. ,by  assuming the property does hold before proving it. So, the proof is fallacious.

The correct step (3) will be,

\log_{b}(\frac {b^{x}}{b^{y}})

= \log_{b}(b^{x - y})   [by using the laws of indices]

All other steps are correct.

Answer:

The 6 Lego kits can be selected from the 9 available Lego kits in 84 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use combinations to solve this problem.

Combination is defined as the selection of <em>r</em> elements from <em>n</em> distinct objects irrespective of the order. The objects cannot be replaced.

There are 9 Lego kits available.

And the total number of children is 6.

That is, we need to select 6 Lego kits from the 9 available Lego kits.

6 Lego kits can be selected from the 9 available Lego kits in 9\choose 6 ways.

Solving the combination as follows:

{9\choose 6}=\frac{9!}{6!\times(9-6)!} \\=\frac{362880}{720\times6}\\ =84

Thus, there are 84 ways to select 6 Lego kits from 9 available Lego kits.
