Answer:

182 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time taken for first lap is 50 seconds and each subsequent lap takes 20% longer than previous

Solution:

Time taken for first lap = 50 sec

For second lap

Each subsequent lap takes 20% longer than previous

Previous lap time = 50 sec

second lap = 50 + 20% of 50

second lap =50+(\frac{20}{100}\times 50)

second lap = 50 + 10

second lap = 60\ sec

For third lap

Each subsequent lap takes 20% longer than previous

Previous lap time = 60 sec

Third lap = 60 + 20% of 60

Third\ lap = 60 + (\frac{20}{100}\times 60)

Third\ lap = 60+2\times 6

Third\ lap = 60+12

Third\ lap = 72\ sec

Time taken for 3 laps is equal to sum of all three laps time.

Tiem\ taken\ for\ 3\ lap = 50+60+72

Tiem\ taken\ for\ 3\ lap = 182\ sec

Therefore, it takes 182 seconds (3 min, 2 seconds) to run three laps

For the following exercises, find the average rate of change of the functions from x = 1 to x =2.
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

For the function $f(x)=4 x-3$ the average rate change from x is equal 1 to x is equal 2 is 4 .

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is given f(x)=4x-3.

It is required to find the average rate change of the function from x is 1 to x is 2 . simplify.

Step 1 of 2

A function f(x)=4 x-3 is given.

Determine the function $f\left(x_{1}\right)$ by putting the value of x=1 in the given function.

$$\begin{aligned}&f(1)=4(1)-3 \\&f(1)=1\end{aligned}$$$$f(1)=1$$

Determine the function $f\left(x_{1}\right)$ by putting the value of x is 2 in the given function.

$$\begin{aligned}&f(2)=4(2)-3 \\&f(2)=5\end{aligned}$$

Step 2 of 2

According to the formula of average rate change of the equation $\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{f\left(x_{2}\right)-f\left(x_{2}\right)}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Substitute the value of $f\left(x_{1}\right)$ with, $f\left(x_{1}\right)$ with $3, x_{2}$ with 2 and $x_{1}$ with 1 .

$$\begin{aligned}&\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{5-1}{1} \\&\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=4\end{aligned}$$

Debby, Ella and Unique invest $10,000 each into an oil company. Debby owns 2000 $1 common stocks, Ella owns 1000 of 5% $50 prefe
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Ella has the greatest return in the current year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Debby would receive $0.80 for each of her 2000 common stock in the oil company,hence Debby's return on investment in the current year is $1600($0.80*2000)

Besides,Ella's return on the stock investment in the current year is computed thus:

Ella's return= 5%*1000*$50=$2,500

In addition,Unique's dollar return on the investment is computed as follows:

Unique's return on  investment=4%*2000*$20=$1,600

From the above computations,Ella seems to have the highest return in the current year of $2,500 whereas the two others managed to have $1600 return each

Use the LCD to rewrite 34, 58, and 110 with the same denominator pls help
galben [10]

Answer: 30/40, 25/40, 4/40

Step-by-step explanation: Using the Least Common Denominator, I looked at each multiple of each number to determine 40 as the least common denominator, and since we did 4 x 10 to get 40 in the first one, we do 3 x 10 in the first one as well making it 30/40. The second one we did 8 x 5 to get 40, making the numerator (top number) the product of 5 x 5 which is 25 making it 25/40. For the last one, I used 10 x 4 to get 40 meaning I would have to do 1 x 4 to get the numerator (top number) making it 4/40

a store is selling cookies for $8.00 for 12 bags. how much will it cost if you want to buy 30 for your class
andrey2020 [161]

Ok so first you will need 3 bags since 12*2 is 24 that wont be enough for the whole class so 12*3= 36 so now that we figured out how many bags we need now we have to multiply $8.00 by three the answer is $24
