average speed on the trip was 280 mph. The average speed on the way back was 240 mph. How many hours did the trip take?

Answer:

13 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Average speed = Distance traveled / time taken

                   ⇒ Distance = Average speed × Time

                                     d = s × t

For the first trip;

Average speed = 280 mph

                          d₁ = 280t₁                    ------(1)

where;

d₁ is the distance covered to get to the destination

t₁ is the time taken to get to the destination

For the second trip;

Average speed = 240 mph

                           d₂= 240t₂                     ------(2)

where;

d₂ is the distance covered on the way back

t₂ is the time taken on the way back

The trip is the same distance to and fro. Therefore,

                           d₁ = d₂                              

Substituting the equation for d₁ and d₂

                          280t₁ = 240t₂              ------(3)

It took one hour less time to get there than it did to get back, then,

                                 t₁ = t₂ - 1

                                 t₂ = t₁ + 1                ------(4)

Substituting equation (4) into  equation (3)

                               280t₁ = 240(t₁ + 1)

                               280t₁ = 240t₁ + 240

                               280t₁ - 240t₁ = 240

                               40t₁ = 240

                                   t₁ = 240/40

                                   t₁ = 6 hours

From equation (4)

                                   t₂ = t₁ + 1

                                   t₂ = 6 + 1  

                                   t₂ = 7 hours

The total time for the trip is t₁ + t₂ = 6 + 7

                                       = 13 hours

Calculate x for each of the following right angled triangles.
Sphinxa [80]

\huge\underline{\red{A}\green{n}\blue{s}\purple{w}\pink{e}\orange{r} →}

<h3>(a) x = 6.5 cm </h3><h3>(b) x = 10 cm</h3><h3>(c) x = 7 cm</h3><h3>(d) x = 7.9 cm</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an unknown side of a right angled triangle we use a theorum called pythagorus theorum..

<h3>Formula :</h3>

(Hypotenuse)^2 = (Perpendicular)^2 + (Base)^2

(h)^2 = (p)^2 + (b)^2

<h3>therefore, </h3>

(a) hypotenuse = x cm, base = √30 cm, perpendicular = √12 cm.

<h3>by formula,</h3>

→ h^2 = p^2 + b^2

→ (x)^2 = (√12)^2 + (√30)^2

→ x^2 = 12 + 30

→ x^2 = 42

→ x = √42

→ x = 6.480...

→ x = 6.5 cm. (approx)

<h3>___________________________</h3>

(b) hypotenuse = √300 cm, base = √200 cm,perpendicular = x cm.

<h3>by formula,</h3>

→ h^2 = p^2 + b^2

→ (√300)^2 = (x)^2 + (√200)^2

→ 300 = x^2 + 200

→ x^2 = 300 – 200

→ x^2 = 100

→ x = √100

→ x= 10 cm.

<h3>___________________________</h3>

(c) hypotenuse = √66 cm, base = √17 cm,perpendicular = x cm.

<h3>by formula,</h3>

→ h^2 = p^2 + b^2

→ (√66)^2 = (x)^2 + (√17)^2

→ 66 = x^2 + 17

→ x^2 = 66 – 17

→ x^2 = 49

→ x = √49

→ x = 7 cm.

<h3>___________________________</h3>

(d) hypotenuse = x cm, base = 5√12 cm,perpendicular = 2√3 cm.

<h3>by formula,</h3>

→ h^2 = p^2 + b^2

→ (x)^2 = (2√3)^2 + (5√12)^2

→ x^2 = 12 + 50

→ x^2 = 62

→ x = √62

→ x = 7.874...

→ x = 7.9 cm. (approx)

<h3>___________________________</h3>

<h3>Hope it helps you!!</h3>

Which of the following are examples of exponential decay? select all that apply.
Katarina [22]
B, C and D are exponential decay.

Half-lives are given by exponential function, and since they are decreasing, it is decay.
With the teams being eliminated, this is decay.
Bacteria can be represented by exponential functions, and it is decreasing.

You intend to estimate a population mean with a confidence interval. You believe the population to have a normal distribution. Y
Mama L [17]

Answer:

The critical value that corresponds to a confidence interval of 81.2% is 1.32.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Central Limit Theorem if we have an unknown population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and appropriately huge random samples (n > 30) are selected from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample mean will be approximately normally distributed.  

Then, the mean of the sample means is given by,

\mu_{\bar x}=\mu

And the standard deviation of the sample means is given by,

\sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this case the sample selected is of size, <em>n</em> = 63.

As the sample size <em>n</em> = 63 > 30, the sampling distribution of sample mean will be approximately normal.

So, a <em>z</em>-interval will be used to estimate the population mean.

The confidence level is, 81.2%.

The value of <em>α</em> is:

\alpha=1-\text{Confidence Level}\\\\\alpha=1-0.812\\\\\alpha=0.188

The critical value is:

z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.188/2}=z_{0.094}=- 1.32\\\\z_{1-\alpha/2}=z_{1-0.188/2}=z_{0.906}= 1.32

*Use a <em>z</em>-table.

Thus, the critical value that corresponds to a confidence interval of 81.2% is 1.32.
