Answer:

56.3 kilometers per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

We know D = RT

where

D is distance

R is rate (speed)

T is time

Let's Bill's rate be "x". Thus using equation we can write:

D = xt

We know Eugene travelled 21.1 faster than Bill, so Eugene's rate is 21.1 + x. So we can write:

D = (21.1 + x)t

D = 21.1t + xt

Now, putting t = 1 in both since after 1 hour given, we have:

D = x(1)

D = x

and

D = 21.1(1) + x(1)

D = 21.1 + x

We know the sum of both the distance is 133.7, so we can write:

x + 21.1 + x = 133.7

Solving for x:

2x = 133.7 - 21.1

2x = 112.6

x = 112.6 / 2

x = 56.3 km/hr

This is Bill's rate: 56.3 kilometers per hour

What are the degree and leading coefficient of the polynomial of 12u3 -8 + 23u

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Degree: 3

Leading Coefficient: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the highest power to determine the degree, in this case it's 3. Then identify the term with the highest power (12u^3) to find the leading coefficient.

So, because 3 is the largest and only power in this equation, it is the degree. 12u^3 is the leading term (term containing the highest degree) and 12 is the coefficient attatched to the term. Hope that helped!

A spinner has 10 equally sized sections, 5 of which are gray and 5 of which are blue. The spinner is spun twice. What is the pro

zhenek [66]

Answer:

$P(Gray\ and\ Blue) = \frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Sections = 10$

$n(Gray) = 5$

$n(Blue) = 5$

Required

Determine P(Gray and Blue)

Using probability formula;

$P(Gray\ and\ Blue) = P(Gray) * P(Blue)$

Calculating P(Gray)

$P(Gray) = \frac{n(Gray)}{Sections}$

$P(Gray) = \frac{5}{10}$

$P(Gray) = \frac{1}{2}$

Calculating P(Gray)

$P(Blue) = \frac{n(Blue)}{Sections}$

$P(Blue) = \frac{5}{10}$

$P(Blue) = \frac{1}{2}$

Substitute these values on the given formula

$P(Gray\ and\ Blue) = P(Gray) * P(Blue)$

$P(Gray\ and\ Blue) = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{2}$

$P(Gray\ and\ Blue) = \frac{1}{4}$

Answer:

1) -17x-9

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

(-2x^3+x-5)+(x^3-3x-4)

Combine like terms using P.E.M.D.A.S:

(-2x^3+x-5)+(x^3-3x-4)

(-9x-5)+(-8x-4)

Combine like terms:

(-2x^3+x-5)+(x^3-3x-4)

(-9x-5)+(-8x-4)

-17x-9

I hope this helps a bit!☺

The volume of a sphere whose diameter is 18 centimeters is _ cubic centimeters. If it’s diameter we’re reduced by half, it’s vol

kaheart [24]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>First Part</u>

Given that

$Volume = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

We have that

$Volume = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} = \frac{4}{3} \pi (\frac{Diameter}{2})^{3} = \frac{4}{3} \pi 9^{3} = 972\pi cm^{3} \approx 3053.63 cm^{3}$

<u>Second Part</u>

Given that

$Volume = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

If the Diameter were reduced by half we have that

$Volume = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} = \frac{4}{3} \pi (\frac{r}{2}) ^{3} = \frac{\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}}{8}$

This shows that the volume would be $\frac{1}{8}$ of its original volume

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

<u>First Part</u>

Gather Information

$Diameter = 18cm$

$Volume = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

Calculate Radius from Diameter

$Radius = \frac{Diameter}{2} = \frac{18}{2} = 9$

Use the Radius on the Volume formula

$Volume = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} = \frac{4}{3} \pi 9^{3}$

Before starting any calculation, we try to simplify everything we can by expanding the exponent and then factoring one of the 9s

$Volume = \frac{4}{3} \pi 9^{3} = \frac{4}{3} \pi 9 * 9 * 9 = \frac{4}{3} \pi 9 * 9 * 3 * 3$

We can see now that one of the 3s can be already divided by the 3 in the denominator

$Volume = \frac{4}{3} \pi 9 * 9 * 3 * 3 = 4 \pi 9 * 9 * 3$

Finally, since we can't simplify anymore we just calculate it's volume

$Volume = 4 \pi 9 * 9 * 3 = 12 \pi * 9 * 9 = 12 * 81 \pi = 972 \pi cm^{3}$

$Volume \approx 3053.63 cm^{3}$

<u>Second Part</u>

Understanding how the Diameter reduced by half would change the Radius

$Radius =\frac{Diameter}{2}\\\\If \\\\Diameter = \frac{Diameter}{2}\\\\Then\\\\Radius = \frac{\frac{Diameter}{2} }{2} = \frac{\frac{Diameter}{2}}{\frac{2}{1}} = \frac{Diameter}{2} * \frac{1}{2} = \frac{Diameter}{4}$

Understanding how the Radius now changes the Volume

$Volume = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}$

With the original Diameter, we have that

$Volume = \frac{4}{3}\pi (\frac{Diameter}{2}) ^{3} = \frac{4}{3}\pi \frac{Diameter^{3}}{2^{3}}\\\\ = \frac{4}{3}\pi \frac{Diameter^{3}}{2 * 2 * 2} = \frac{4}{3}\pi \frac{Diameter^{3}}{8}\\\\$

If the Diameter were reduced by half, we have that

$Volume = \frac{4}{3}\pi (\frac{Diameter}{4}) ^{3} = \frac{4}{3}\pi \frac{Diameter^{3}}{4^{3}}\\\\ = \frac{4}{3}\pi \frac{Diameter^{3}}{4 * 4 * 4} = \frac{4}{3}\pi \frac{Diameter^{3}}{4 * 2 * 2 * 4} = \frac{4}{3}\pi \frac{Diameter^{3}}{8 * 8} = \frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi\frac{Diameter^{3}}{8}}{8}$

But we can see that the numerator is exactly the original Volume!

This shows us that the Volume would be $\frac{1}{8}$ of the original Volume if the Diameter were reduced by half.
