If a car reaches speeds of 0-100 mph in 0.8 seconds, how many mph will it reach in 1 second?
zvonat [6]

Answer:

125 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be calculated as a simple rule of 3.

In rule of 3 problems, you need to first identify the measures and whether they are direct or inverse to each other.

If they are direct to each other, if one value increases the other will increase too. For example, lets suppose that the Buffalo Bills have won 3 of 4 games. When there are 8 games, then will have won 6, keeping this proportion. Here, the measures are the number of games and the number of Buffalo Bills wins.

Now if they are inverse to each other, if one value increases the other will decrease. For example, if you travel at 60 mph, you will need 6 hours to arrive at your destination. At 80 mph, you will need less time. So, a the average speed increases, the time you need will decrease.

In this case the speeds is proportional to the time. So, if the time increases, the speed will increase too. It can be calculated by the following rule of 3.

   Speed               Time

 100 mph - 0.8 seconds

 x mph      -  1 second

x = 100/0.8 = 125 mph.

Skyler goes to a school which has 1000 students in it.
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

it's estimated that 750 students in the whole school dislike the 8:30am start time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 30 of the 40 students said "no", it means 30/40, or 3/4 of the random sample disliked the 8:30am start time. Multiply this by the whole population: 1,000 × (3/4) = 750.

Another way to check this is using 10/40 = .25 and doing 1000x.25 = 250 (the amount of students who liked it). Then subtract from whole population and it's 750.

What are the first three terms of the sequence represented by the recursive formula
Dimas [21]

Answer: B. 0.25, 3.75, 5.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the given sequence, a_n= n^2 -a_{n-1}

And, a_5=14\frac{1}{4}

On substituting n=5 in the given recursive formula,

We get, a_5=5^2-a_{5-1}\implies a_5=25-a_4\implies 14\frac{1}{4}= 25-a_4\implies a_4=10\frac{3}{4}

For, n=4 a_4=4^2-a_{4-1}\implies a_4=16-a_3\implies 10\frac{3}{4}= 16-a_3\implies a_3=5\frac{1}{4}\implies a_3=5.25

For, n=3 a_3=3^2-a_{3-1}\implies a_3=9-a_2\implies 5.25= 9-a_2\implies a_2=3.75

For, n=2 a_2=2^2-a_{2-1}\implies a_2=4-a_1\implies 3.75= 4-a_1\implies a_1=0.25

Thus, First second and third terms are,

a_1=0.25, a_2=3.75 and  a_3=5.25.

What is the first error Alycia made in her proof.
iogann1982 [59]

Answer: Alycia only established some of the necessary conditions for a congruence criterion.

Step-by-step explanation: Two triangles are <u>congruent</u> if their corresponding sides or/and corresponding angles are the same.

There are 5 ways to find out if the triangles are congruent.

The one Alycia used seems to be the one called <u>Side-Angle-Side</u>, which states that if two sides and its included angle is equal to the corresponding sides and angle of the other triangle, they are congruent.

For triangles ΔOPQ and ΔSTR to be congruent, using that theorem:

1) ∠O = ∠S

2) OP = TS

And

3) RS = OQ

So, Alycia's error is that she didn't prove RS = OQ, which would definitively  conclude that both triangles are congruent.
