Answer:

Between 9:00 am and 10:45 am, there have been 1 hour and 45 minutes or 1.75 hours have passed. Let x be the speed of the slower cyclist and x+ 5 be the rate of the second cyclist. The given situation is best represented through the equation below,

                                x(1.75) + (x + 5)(1.75) = 47.25 km

The value of x from the equation is 11. Thus, the two bicyclists' rates are 11 km/h and 16 km/h.

Answer:

Cyclist A travels at 11 km/hr and cyclist B travels at 16 km/r

Step by step explanation:

The cyclist B is riding 5 km/hr faster than cyclist A. From 09:00  till 10:45 is 1 hour and 45 minutes. This is 60 plus 45 minutes:

=60+45=105

In 105 minutes they are 47.25 km apart. Let x be the speed of cyclist A and y be the speed of cyclist B. We can write x in terms of y:

y=x+5

We can write an expression relating the two cyclists to the total speed of the cyclists.

We know that in 105 minutes they are 47.25 km apart.

We can substitute the 47.25 km into the following expression:

47.25=(x)\cdot(105/60)+y\cdot{105/60}

47.25=(x)\cdot(1.75)+(x+5)\cdot{1.75}

Solve for x

47.25/1.75=2x+5

22/2=x

x=11

Therefore y is:

y=11+5=16

Cyclist A travels at 11 km/hr and cyclist B travels at 16km/r

Are the grades shown in the math class below normally distributed? Explain your answer.
IgorLugansk [536]

Since the histogram is not symmetric, the grades shown in the math class below are not normally distributed.

<h3>When does a histogram represent a normal distribution?</h3>

A histogram represents a normal distribution if it symmetric.

In this problem, we have that:

  • 57% of the grades are on the left tail.
  • 25% of the grades are on the center.
  • 18% are on the right tail.

Since the percentages at the tails are different, the histogram is not symmetric, and  the grades shown in the math class below are not normally distributed.

What is the area<br> of circle <br><br><br><br>with a diameterms of 10 m​
pentagon [3]

Answer:

exact area = 25(pi) m^2

approximate area = 78.54 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

diameter = 10 m

radius = diameter/2 = 10 m / 2 = 5 m

area = (pi)r^2

area = (pi)(5 m)^2

area = 25(pi) m^2

area = 78.54 m^2

M is a degree 3 polynomial with m ( 0 ) = 53.12 and zeros − 4 and 4 i . Find an equation for m with only real coefficients (i.E.
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Therefore the required polynomial is

M(x)=0.83(x³+4x²+16x+64)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that M is a polynomial of degree 3.

So, it has three zeros.

Let the polynomial be

M(x) =a(x-p)(x-q)(x-r)

The two zeros of the polynomial are -4 and 4i.

Since 4i is a complex number. Then the conjugate of 4i is also a zero of the polynomial i.e -4i.

Then,

M(x)= a{x-(-4)}(x-4i){x-(-4i)}

      =a(x+4)(x-4i)(x+4i)

      =a(x+4){x²-(4i)²}      [ applying the formula (a+b)(a-b)=a²-b²]

      =a(x+4)(x²-16i²)

      =a(x+4)(x²+16)      [∵i² = -1]

      =a(x³+4x²+16x+64)

Again given that M(0)= 53.12 . Putting x=0 in the polynomial

53.12 =a(0+4.0+16.0+64)

\Rightarrow a = \frac{53.12}{64}

      =0.83

Therefore the required polynomial is

M(x)=0.83(x³+4x²+16x+64)
