Answer:

i. x² + 7x - 16800 = 0 ii. x = 126.16 km/h or -133.16 km/h iii. 5.01 h

Step-by-step explanation:

i. If he drove at an average speed of x km/h on his journey from City P to City Q formulate an equation in x and show that it reduces to x2 + 7x – 16 800 = 0.

For the first journey from City P to City Q, with Mr Lee moving at an average speed of x km/h, he reaches there in time, t and covers the distance, d = 600 km

So, xt = 600 (1)

On his return journey from City Q to CIty P, his average speed increases by 7 km/h, so it is (x + 7)km/h and his time is 15 minutes less than his first journey. 15 min = 15/60 h = 0.25 h, we have that his time for the journey is (t - 0.25) h. Since the distance covered is the same d = 600 km,

We have (x + 7)(t - 0.25) = 600  (2)

Expanding the brackets, we have

xt - 0.25x + 7t - 0.25(7) = 600

xt - 0.25x + 7t - 1.75 = 600

From (1) t = 600/x and xt = 600

Substituting these into the equation, we have

600 - 0.25x + 7(600/x) - 1.75 = 600

simplifying

-0.25x + 4200/x - 1.75 = 600 - 600

-0.25x + 4200/x - 1.75 = 0

multiplying through by x, we have

-0.25x² + 4200 - 1.75x = 0

dividing through by -0.25, we have

-0.25x²/-0.25 + 4200/-0.25 - 1.75x/-0.25 = 0

x² - 16800 + 7x = 0

re-arranging, we have

x² + 7x - 16800 = 0

ii. Solve the equation x² + 7x - 16 800 = 0, giving both your answers correct to  2 decimal places.

Using the quadratic formula, we solve x² + 7x - 16800 = 0 for x

So, x = \frac{-7 +/-\sqrt{7^{2} - 4 X 1 X -16800} }{2 X 1}\\x = \frac{-7 +/-\sqrt{49 + 67200} }{2} \\x = \frac{-7 +/-\sqrt{67249} }{2} \\x = \frac{-7 +/- 259.32}{2} \\x = \frac{-7 + 259.32}{2} or x = \frac{-7 - 259.32}{2} \\x = 252.32/2 or x=  -266.32/2\\x = 126.16 km/hor x = -133.16 km/h

So, x = 126.16 km/h or -133.16 km/h

iii. Find the time taken for the return journey

The time taken for the return journey is t' = t + 0.25. Now. t = 600/x

Since x cannot be negative, we use x = 126.16 km/h.

So, t = 600/x = 600/126.16 = 4.76 h

t' = t + 0.25

t' = 4.76 + 0.25

t' = 5.01 h

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

B = 75°

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Sine rule:

a / sin A = b / sin B = c / Sin C

a / sin A = b / sin B

20 / sin 48 = 26 / sin B

Cross multiply :

Sin B * 20 = sin 48 * 26

Sin B = (sin 48 * 26) / 20

Sin B = 0.9660882

B = sin^-1(0.9660882)

B = 75.036

B = 75°

A person's metabolic rate is the rate at which the body consumes energy. Metabolic rate is important in studies of weight gain,
cupoosta [38]

Let m be mean

Mean= sum/ n

Mean= (1720+1687+1367+1614+1460+1867+1436) / 7

m= 11151 / 7

M= 1593

Mean= 1593

Standard deviation

|x-m|^2

For 1st: |1720-1593|^2=8836

For 2nd: |1687-1593|^2=10201

For 3rd: |1367-1593|^2=51076

For 4th: |1614-1593|^2=441

For 5th: |1460-1593|^2=1689

For 6th: |1867-1593|^2=75076

For 7th: |1436-1593|^2=24649

Summation of |x-m|^2 = 171968

Standard deviation sample formula is:

S.D = sqrt((summation of |x-m|^2) / n-1)

S.D=sqrt(171968/6)

S.D=sqrt(28661.33)

S.D=169.30

Standard deviation is 169.30

Answer:

y = -1/4x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

the perpendicular slope would be -1/4

2 = -1/4 (-16) + b

b = -2

the equation should be y = -1/4x -2

How many commuters must be randomly selected to estimate the mean driving time of Chicago commuters? We want 95% confidence that
zimovet [89]

Answer:

61 commuters must be randomly selected to estimate the mean driving time of Chicago commuters.                

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : We want 95% confidence that the sample mean is within 3 minutes of the population mean, and the population standard deviation is known to be 12 minutes.

To find : How many commuters must be randomly selected to estimate the mean driving time of Chicago commuters?

Solution :

At 95% confidence the z-value is z=1.96

The sample mean is within 3 minutes of the population mean i.e. margin of error is E=3 minutes

The population standard deviation is s=12 minutes

n is the number of sample

The formula of margin of error is given by,

E=\frac{s\times z}{\sqrt{n}}

Substitute the value in the formula,

3=\frac{12\times 1.96}{\sqrt{n}}

3=\frac{23.52}{\sqrt{n}}

\sqrt{n}=\frac{23.52}{3}

\sqrt{n}=7.84

Squaring both side,

n=61.4656

Therefore, 61 commuters must be randomly selected to estimate the mean driving time of Chicago commuters.
