St=d
s=d/t
t=d/s

so we have several things:
distance of alfredo
speed of alfredo
time of alredo

distance of louisa
speed of louisa
time of louisa

we will represen them as follows


distance of alfredo=d1
speed of alfredo=s1
time of alredo=t1=2=t2

distance of louisa=d2
speed of louisa=s2
time of louisa=t2=2=t1


d=distance
t=time
total d=15 miles
t=2 hours
they both walk towards each other

louisa's speed is 1 mile per hour more than Alfredo so s2=s1+1

so we also have


d1+d2=15
s2=s1+1
t1=t2=2

we want to solve for s1 and s2
d=st
d1=(s1)(2)
 
d2=(s2)(2)
subsitute s1+1 for s2
d2=(s1+1)(2)
put back ino equation

(s1)(2)+(s1+1)(2)=15
distribute
2s1+2s1+2=15
2(s1)+2(s1)+2=15
add like terms
4(s1)+2=15
subtract 2 from both sides
4(s1)=13
divide both sides by 4
s1=13/4=3 and 1/4 mph

s2=s1+1
s2=3 and 1/4
s2=4 and 1/4 mph

check
d=st
t=2
alfredo's distance=(3 and 1/4) times 2=6 and 1/2
louisa's distance=(4 and 1/4) times 2=8 and 1/2
6 and 1/2+8 and 1/2=6+1/2+8+1/2=14+1=15




Alfredo's walking speed=3 and 1/4 miles per hour
Louisa's walking speed=4 and 1/4 miles per hour

aka
Alredospeed=3.25 mph
Louisaspeed=4.25 mph

Assume that trees are subjected to different levels of carbon dioxide atmosphere with 7% of the trees in a minimal growth condit
taurus [48]

Answer: The mean and standard deviation are 567.2 and 89.88 resp.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

For 370 parts per million = 7% = 0.07

For 440 parts per million = 10% = 0.10

For 550 parts per million = 49% = 0.49

For 670 parts per million = 34% = 0.34

So, Mean of the carbon dioxide atmosphere for these trees would be

E[x]=370\times 0.07+440\times 0.1+550\times 0.49+670\times 0.34=567.2

And

E[x^2]=370^2\times 0.07+440^2\times 0.1+550^2\times 0.49+670^2\times 0.34=329794

So, Variance would be

Var\ x=E[x^2]-E[x]^2=329794-567.2^2=8078.16

So, the standard deviation would be

\sigma=\sqrt{8078.16}=89.88

Hence, the mean and standard deviation are 567.2 and 89.88 resp.

Write a number in each blank to complete each equation so that it has the requested number of solutions. a. Equation with no sol
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The answer is  8x - 3x + 2 -x =<u> 4 </u>x + <u>2 </u> .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

8x - 3x + 2 -x = __ x + __

Now, to write a number in each blank to complete each equation so that it has the requested number of solutions.

So, to solve the equation:

8x-3x+2-x

So, we add  the variables:

5x+2-x

And, then subtract it:

4x-2.

Thus, it remains:

4x-2.

So the complete equation is:

8x - 3x + 2 -x =<u> 4 </u>x + <u>2 </u>

Therefore, the answer is  8x - 3x + 2 -x =<u> 4 </u>x + <u>2 </u> .
