Jeff was already 7 miles out of town when his sister
1 answer:
The sister catches up Jeff after 2 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write Jeff's position and his sister position at time t using the following expressions:
- Jeff position:
where:
7 is the initial position of Jeff when his sister sarts chasing him
2.5 is Jeff's velocity (in miles/hour), so its position increases by 2.5 miles for each hour
t is the time measured in hours
- Sister position:
where
6 is the sister velocity (her position increases by 6 miles for every hour)
t is the time measured in hours
The sister catches up Jeff when the two positions are equal, so
And solving for t,
So, the sister catches Jeff after 2 hours.

I have attached a diagram of the triangle described.
We can use any of the trigonometric functions to find angle x. Remember, SOH CAH TOA. And since we're finding the angle, we'll need to use an inverse trigonometric function. For this problem, I'll be using the sine function.
sin(x) = 84 / 85
x = sin^-1(84/85)
x = 81.2026 degrees (feel free to round to however many places you need)
Hope this helps!! :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the population variance, we first need the mean:
so the mean is 7.2. To find the population variance (which is almost exactly the same as the sample variance except for a small difference in the denominators of the formula) we have to take each number minus the mean, and then square the difference. Add together all these squared numbers and then divide by the number of numbers. Like this:
Add together those numbers and divide them by 5:
