Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

distance = rate times time, so

           

           distance

time = --------------

               rate

Here the distance is 40 km and the rate is x.  Then

              40 km

time = --------------  =  (40/x) hr

             x km/hr

If the speed is reduced by 2 km/hr, we get:

              40 km                                            40 km                  40

time = -------------------------------  or time = ----------------------- = --------- hr

             (x km/hr - 2 km/hr)                      (x - 2) (km/hr)       x - 2

The difference between the times is:

 40          40

-------- - --------- = 1 hr          Solve this for the original speed, x

x - 2         x

40x - 40x + 80                                80

-----------------------  =  1 hr     or     ------------ = 1     or 80 = x^2 - 2x

     x(x - 2)                                     x(x - 2)

Rewriting this in standard quadratic form:  x^2 - 2x - 80 = 0

Here a = 1, b = -2 and c = -80, and so the discriminant b^2 - 4ac is:

(-2)^2 - 4(1)(-80) = 324

The solutions are:

   

      -(-2) ± √324       2 ± 18

x = -------------------- = ------------ = 1 ± 9, or 10 (discard the other root)

              2                      2

The original speed was 10 km/hr

The function f ( x ) = 2 ⋅ 5 ^x can be used to represent an exponential growth curve. Which of the following points is NOT on th
12345 [234]

Answer:

Point (2, 20) does not lie on the given curve.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us see explanation:

f(x) = 2. \:  {5}^{x}  \\  \\  \therefore \: f(x) \: at \: x = 2 \\ f(2) = 2. {5}^{2}  = 2.25 = 50 \\  \\ hence \: at \: x = 2 \:  \: f(x) = 50 \\  \therefore \:point (2 \:  \: 20) \: does \: not \: lie \: on \: the \: \\   \:  \:  \:  \:  \: curve.

if 5.25 MB have been downloaded and 2.25 MB are left. what percent of the application has already been downloaded?
ollegr [7]
5.25 + 2.25 = 7.50 MB

x/100 x (7.50) = 5.25
7.50x/100 = 5.25
7.50x = 5.25(100)
7.50x = 525
x = 525/7.50
x = 70
Hence, 70% of the application has already been downloaded.

The first term of a geometric sequence is equal to a and the common ratio of the sequence is r.
ololo11 [35]

Answer: (a)  {a, ar, ar², ar³, ar⁴, ar⁵...}, (b)  arⁿ⁻¹

For part (a), the question gives us the first term a, and then asks us to apply the common ratio r six times.

In order for ar = a, the nth term of r will have to equal 0 (this implies that n is an exponent; thus giving us the first term a, as r = 1).

Since we use this method on the first term, we must use it for the next five, in which r gains an additional exponent for every consecutive value (nth term) thereafter.  

Ultimately getting: {a, ar, ar², ar³, ar⁴, ar⁵...}

For part (b), we first have to understand that the sequence does not start at 0, but at 1 for n. In order for ar = a, with n = 1, there needs to be subtraction of -1 within the exponent. So that arⁿ⁻¹

If we check and apply this, we can see that:

{ar¹⁻¹, ar²⁻¹, ar³⁻¹, ar⁴⁻¹, ar⁵⁻¹, ar⁶⁻¹...} = {a, ar, ar², ar³, ar⁴, ar⁵...} = arⁿ⁻¹ = Tn
