Peter travels to his uncle's home 30km away from his place.He cycles for two thirds of the journey before the bicycle develops a

mechanical problem and he has to push it for the rest of the journey. If his cycling speed is 10km/hr faster than his walking speed and he completes the journey in 3hr 20minutes, determine his cycling speed?

Answer:

Cycling Speed is 15km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cycling speed of Peter be xkm/hr

His walking speed is (x-10km/hr)

Distance cycling is 2/3 x 30 = 20km

Distance walking 1/3 x 30 = 10km

Time taken in cycling = distance/ speed

Time = 20/x

This gives 20/x km/hr

Time walking is 10 / (x-10)

= 10/x-10) hrs

Total time = (20/x + 10/x+10)

Therefore 10/x+10/x-10 = 10/3

60(x-10)+30(x)=10x(x-10)

10x² - 190x+600=0

x²-19+60=0

x=<u>19±√361-240</u>

x=15 0r x =4

His cycling speed is 4

Let R be the region bounded by

loris [4]

a. The area of $R$ is given by the integral

$\displaystyle \int_1^2 (x + 6) - 7\sin\left(\dfrac{\pi x}2\right) \, dx + \int_2^{22/7} (x+6) - 7(x-2)^2 \, dx \approx 9.36$

b. Use the shell method. Revolving $R$ about the $x$ -axis generates shells with height $h=x+6-7\sin\left(\frac{\pi x}2\right)$ when $1\le x\le 2$ , and $h=x+6-7(x-2)^2$ when $2\le x\le\frac{22}7$ . With radius $r=x$ , each shell of thickness $\Delta x$ contributes a volume of $2\pi r h \Delta x$ , so that as the number of shells gets larger and their thickness gets smaller, the total sum of their volumes converges to the definite integral

$\displaystyle 2\pi \int_1^2 x \left((x + 6) - 7\sin\left(\dfrac{\pi x}2\right)\right) \, dx + 2\pi \int_2^{22/7} x\left((x+6) - 7(x-2)^2\right) \, dx \approx 129.56$

c. Use the washer method. Revolving $R$ about the $y$ -axis generates washers with outer radius $r_{\rm out} = x+6$ , and inner radius $r_{\rm in}=7\sin\left(\frac{\pi x}2\right)$ if $1\le x\le2$ or $r_{\rm in} = 7(x-2)^2$ if $2\le x\le\frac{22}7$ . With thickness $\Delta x$ , each washer has volume $\pi (r_{\rm out}^2 - r_{\rm in}^2) \Delta x$ . As more and thinner washers get involved, the total volume converges to

$\displaystyle \pi \int_1^2 (x+6)^2 - \left(7\sin\left(\frac{\pi x}2\right)\right)^2 \, dx + \pi \int_2^{22/7} (x+6)^2 - \left(7(x-2)^2\right)^2 \, dx \approx 304.16$ <em />

d. The side length of each square cross section is $s=x+6 - 7\sin\left(\frac{\pi x}2\right)$ when $1\le x\le2$ , and $s=x+6-7(x-2)^2$ when $2\le x\le\frac{22}7$ . With thickness $\Delta x$ , each cross section contributes a volume of $s^2 \Delta x$ . More and thinner sections lead to a total volume of

$\displaystyle \int_1^2 \left(x+6-7\sin\left(\frac{\pi x}2\right)\right)^2 \, dx + \int_2^{22/7} \left(x+6-7(x-2)^2\right) ^2\, dx \approx 56.70$

Find the value of x. Round to the nearest tenth.

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

x = 8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{sin28^{o} }{x} =\frac{sin83^{o} }{18}$

$x=\frac{18sin28^{o} }{sin83^{o} } =8.513$

Rounded x = 8.5

A rectangle has an area of 45x2 − 42x − 48 and a width of 5x − 8. what is the length of the rectangle? to find the length of the

kondaur [170]

If the area and width of the rectangle are 45x² − 42x − 48 and (5x − 8) then the length of the rectangle will be (3x + 2).

<h3>What is a rectangle?</h3>

It is a polygon that has four sides. The sum of the internal angle is 360 degrees. In a rectangle, opposite sides are parallel and equal and each angle is 90 degrees. And its diagonals are also equal and intersect at the mid-point.

A rectangle has an area of 45x² − 42x − 48 and a width of 5x − 8.

Then the length of the rectangle will be

area = length × width

Then we have

Area = 45x² − 42x − 48

Then the factor of the polynomial will be

Area = (5x − 8)(3x + 2)

Then the length of the rectangle will be (3x + 2).

More about the rectangle link is given below.

Suppose that g(x) = f(x-2) + 7. Which statement best compares the graph of

jonny [76]

Answer:

Option A) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is as,<em> $g(x) = f(x-2) + 7$ .</em>

Lets focus on graph f(x-2).

Take any example, like $y = x$ . It passes through origin.

<em>Now replace x by (x-2). Now $y = x-2$ , it passes through x=2, thus shifted to right by 2 units.</em>

<em>Now consider the function g(x). If the constant 7 was not there, value would be f(x-2). But adding a positive constant (+ 7) moves the graph up by 7 units.</em>

Thus overall, <em>The graph of g(x) is the graph of f(x) shifted 2 units to the right and 7 units up.</em>
