Answer:

C =(43/55)R; C - R = 8t; 48 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C = the distance a coyote can run in t hours.

Let R = the distance a rabbit can run in t hours.

(1) C = 43t

(2) R = 35t

A. <em>Two equivalent expressions </em>

(a) C/R = 43/35

C = (43/55)R

(b) C – R = 43t – 35t

C – R = 8t

B. <em>Distance advantage of coyote </em>

Let the difference D = C - R

D = 8t

D = 8 × 6

D = 48 mi

In 6 h, the coyote can run 48 mi further than the rabbit.

a buret is a tool designed to transfer precise amounts of liquid .A buret initially contains 70.00 millimeters of a solution and

katrin [286]

Let:

Vbu= Volume of the buret

Vbk= Volume of the beaker

A buret initially contains 70.00 millimeters of a solution and a beaker initially contains 20.00 ml of the solution the buret drips solution into the Beaker. each drip contains 0.05 mL of solution, therefore:

x = Number of drips

a = volume of each drip

$\begin{gathered} Vbu=70-ax \\ Vbk=20+ax \\ \text{where:} \\ a=0.05 \\ Vbu=70-0.05x \\ Vbk=20+0.05x \end{gathered}$

after how many drips will the volume of the solution in the buret and beaker be equal ? Vbu = Vbk:

$\begin{gathered} Vbu=Vbk \\ 70-0.05x=20+0.05x \\ \text{Solve for x:} \\ 0.1x=70-20 \\ 0.1x=50 \\ x=\frac{50}{0.1} \\ x=500 \end{gathered}$

Peter opened his book and found that the product of the page numbers for two facing pages was 156. What were the page numbers?

aev [14]

Assuming that the numbers are right next to each other, we have
(x)*(x+1)=156, expanding into x^2+x=156 and then x^2+x-156=0. We can then use the quadratic formula to get x=(-1+-sqrt(1+624))/2=(-1+-25)/2= 12, -13. -13 wouldn't be a page number, so 12 must be one number, and 12+1 (13) is the other!

You are trying to estimate the average amount a family spends on food during a year. In the past the standard deviation of the a

The number of the families that need to be surveyed will be 2663.

<h3>What is the margin of error?</h3>

Your results will deviate from the actual population value by how many percentage points, as indicated by the margin of error.

We have the following info:

ME = 50 margins of error desired

$\sigma$ = 1000 the standard deviation for this case

The margin of error is given by this formula:

(a) $ME=Z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

And on this case, we have that ME =50 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

(b) $n =(\dfrac{Z_{a\2}\sigma}{ME})^2$

The critical value for the 99% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. The significance is $\alpha$ = 0.01. And for this case would be $Z_{\alpha / 2}$ = 2.58, replacing into formula (b) we got:
