Cyclist A leaves point X at 12 noon and travels at constant velocity in a straight path. Cyclist B leaves point X at 2 p.m. trav

els the same path at constant velocity, and overtakes A at 4p.m. What was the speed of B?
(1) Cyclist A weighs twice as much as Cyclist B.
(2) When Cyclist B overtook Cyclist A, both had traveled 75 miles.

Answer:

37.5 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The question might be trying to confuse the reader. Point (1) which states the difference in weight does not show any evidence on how it affects the speed of both cyclist. Point (2) show an important point where the distance traveled is 75 miles.

Cyclist B, who leave point X at 2pm overtook cyclist A at 4pm, showing that the time it took for B to overtook A is 2 hours

Speed = distance / time

= 75 miles / 2 hours

= 37.5 miles per hour

If g(x) is the inverse of f(x), what is the value of f(g(2))?
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

So to figure this out we just need to flip the values of x and y in the table and then redefine that as the function g(x), because an inverse is essentially the reverse!

So if we flipped x and y's for f(x). We would see that our output or y of g(x) is -3 when x = 2, or in other words g(2) = -3. This means that we are now going to solve for when f(-3). So now lets look at the table and find the value at x = -3 for f(x). This value is 2, so the value of f(g(2)) = 2.

*In the future*

When you have a composite function of two inverses they essentially cancel out and would leave whatever the value of x is. So if we know f(x) and g(x) were inverses the value of f(g(2)) would just be 2.

For example:

ln(x) and e^x are inverses so if I had a composition like this:

e^{ln(2)}

The answer to this would be 2 because these inverse functions "'cancel" out

So

e^{ln2} = 2

What value of y makes the 2 triangles congruent by SSS?
aleksandrvk [35]
The triangle was just flipped so the missing side is going to equal 36, so...
2y+20= 36
(Subtract 20 from each side to isolate the 2y)
2y= 16
(Divide each side by 2 to isolate the variable)

Which sampling method is MOST appropriate in estimating the average number of votes for each candidate in an election across a c
kaheart [24]

Answer:

B. Stratified sampling, because there are specific subgroups to investigate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stratified Sampling is a sampling method and is used when the population has subgroups with different characteristics. Random sampling is applied in each of the sub-groups <em>proportional </em>to their size and then these samples <em>combined </em>together to create sample of the study.

Since there are three towns with people from different occupations ( retirees,business owners, office workers), it is better to use stratified sampling method.
