Jerry jogs the same round trip path everyday. He jogs 0.7 miles to the park and then 0.5 miles from the park to the playground.

After getting a drink at the playground, he then jogs back from the playground to his house. He jogs from the playground to the bridge 0.3 miles and then 0.9 miles from the bridge to his house. When Jerry completes his jog, how many miles is he from his house?

Is this a trick question, i assume you just add all the number getting 2.4 miles or he is 0 miles away from his house when he completes his jog

Answer:

He will be 0 miles from his house.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, he jogs the same round trip path.

Thus,

$\text{His final distance from his house }=d_1-d_2$

Where, $d_1$ = The distance he covered in first trip (towards playground)

$d_2$ = The distance he covered in second trip (towards house),

In his first trip,

He covered 0.7 miles to the park and then 0.5 miles from the park to the playground.

$d_1 = 0.7 + 0.5 = 1.2\text{ miles}$ ,

In his second trip,

He covered 0.3 miles to the bridge and then 0.9 miles from the bridge to his house

$d_2 = 0.3 + 0.9 = 1.2\text{ miles}$ ,

$\text{His final distance from his house }=1.2-1.2=0\text{ miles}$

Last Friday, Kira and Marcy got dinner at seaside sushi restaurant. Kira ordered 2 prices of tuna and 5 pieces of crab. Marcy or

olga_2 [115]

Answer: $\frac{5}{11}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Kira order 2 pieces of tuna and 5 pieces of crab

While Marcy ordered 3 pieces of tuna and 6 pieces of crab

Total tuna ordered =2+3=5 pieces

Total crab ordered=5+6=11 pieces

The ratio of Tuna and crab is $\frac{2+3}{5+6}=\frac{5}{11}$

This morning, some dragons, horses, and chickens were playing in my backyard. I counted 15 heads, 50 legs, and 4 wings. How many

klasskru [66]

We are given

number of heads =15

we know that

any healthy dragon has three heads

horse has 1 head

chicken has 1 head

Let's assume

number of dragons is x

number of horses is y

number of chickens is z

so, we will get

first equation:

$3x+y+z=15$

number of legs =50

any healthy dragon has four legs

chicken has 2 legs

horse has four legs

so, we can get second equation as

$4x+4y+2z=50$

we can simplify it

$2(2x+2y+z)=50$

$2x+2y+z=25$

now, we can find third equation

dragon has two wings

horse has no wings

chicken has two wings

so, we will get third equations as

$2x+0y+2z=4$

now, we can simplify it

$2x+2z=4$

$2(x+z)=4$

$x+z=2$

so, we will get system of equations as

$3x+y+z=15$

$2x+2y+z=25$

$x+z=2$

now, we can use substitution

We can find for z from third equation

$z=2-x$

we can plug this in first equation

$3x+y+2-x=15$

now, we can solve for y

$2x+y+2=15$

$y=13-2x$

now, we can plug this z and y into second equation

$2x+2(13-2x)+2-x=25$

now, we can solve for x

$x-4x+26=23$

$-3x=-3$

$x=1$

now, we can find y and z

$y=13-2x$

we can plug x=1

$y=13-2*1$

$y=11$

$z=2-x$

we can plug x=1

$z=2-1$

$z=1$

Hence ,

number of dragons is 1

number of horses is 11

number of chicken is 1............Answer

Given the parametric equations x = 7cos θ and y = 5sin θ, which of the following represents the curve and its orientation?

nikitadnepr [17]

We have the following parameters

$\begin{gathered} x=7cos\theta \\ y=5sin\theta \end{gathered}$

the general equation of a circle with center (0,0) is the following,

$x^2+y^2=r^2$

Let's use the following tigonometric identity,

$sin^2\theta+cos^2\theta=1$

solving for cos and sin in the equations we are given,

$cos\theta=\frac{x}{7},sin\theta=\frac{y}{5}$

replace,

$(\frac{y}{5})^2+(\frac{x}{7})^2=1$

Since we have two different numbers in the denominator, this is not a circle equation but an elipse, of the form,

$\frac{y^2}{a^2}+\frac{x^2}{b^2}=1$

where,

a is the vertex and,

b is the covertex

thus, in the x axis, the vertex is 7 and the y-axis the covertex is 5

Now, let's determine the direction by replacing

when Θ = 0 , then x = 7*cos0 = 7*1 = 7 , and y = 5*sin0 = 5*0 = 0

when Θ = 90° or π/2 , then x = 7*cos90° = 7*0 = 0 , and y = 5sin90° = 5*1 = 5

If we draw this, we can see that the direction is counterclockwise as in the bottom right image.
