Answer:

20 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Person traveled total distance by bike=2 1/2 miles

Person traveled total distance by bike== $2+\frac{1}{2}=2.5miles$

Time taken by person ,t=1/8 hour

We have to find the distance traveled by person bike in an hour.

We know that

Rate== $\frac{Distance}{time}$

Using the formula

Rate= $\frac{2.5}{\frac{1}{8}}$ miles/hr

Rate=20mph

In 1 hour person bike traveled distance=20 miles

Whats the median number mode and mean for 95, 97, 100, 86, 78, 96

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Mean = 92

Median = 95.5

There is no mode.

What is mean, median, and mode?

Mean, median, and mode are terms in math when it comes to looking at charts and sets/groups of numbers.

1. The mean is the average of a data set.

2. The median is the middle of a data set.

3. The mode is the most common number in a data set.

Mean is found by adding the numbers and dividing the sum by the number of numbers in the list. This is what is most often meant by an average. The median is the middle value in a list ordered from smallest to largest. The mode is the most frequently occurring value on the list.

Before we start, let's put the set of numbers in order from least to greatest,

95, 97, 100, 86, 78, 96

78, 86, 95, 96, 97, 100

Now that we have done that let's find the mean,

78 + 86 + 95 + 96 + 97 + 100 = 552

There are 6 numbers in this set so we need to divide 552 by 6,

552 ÷ 6 = 92

92 is the mean/average of this data set,

Now let's find the median,

If we take a look at the data set we can see that there are two numbers in the middle because there are 6 in total,

78, 86, 95, 96, 97, 100

Because there are two values that are in the middle we need to add them up and divide the sum of them by 2,

95 + 96 = 191

191 ÷ 2 = 95.5

95.5 is the median of this data set,

Now let's find the mode,

If we take a look at the date set we can see that none of the numbers are repeated,

So this means there is no mode to this data set,

Therefore the mean is 92, the median is 95.5, and there is no mode.

onsider the following problem: A box with an open top is to be constructed from a square piece of cardboard, 3 ft wide, by cutti

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

V (max) = 2 ft³

and x side of the base is x = 0,5 feet

Step-by-step explanation: See annex ( two different cubes)

We have a square piece of cardboard of 3 inches wide

Let x be lenght of side to cut in each corner

Then the base of the (future cube) is 3 - 2x, and the area is

( 3 - 2x )²

And the height is x Then volume of the cube as a function of x is:

V(x) = ( 3 - 2x )² *x or V(x) = ( 9 + 4x² - 12x )*x

V(x) = 4x³ - 12x² + 9x

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation

V´(x) = 12x² - 24x + 9

V´(x) = 0 12x² - 24x + 9 = 0 simplifying 4x² - 8x + 3 = 0

Second degree equation solving for x

x₁,₂ = [ 24 ± √( 576) - 432 /24

x₁,₂ = [24 ±√144 ]/24

x₁,₂ = ( 24 ± 12) /24 x₁ = 1.5 feet x₂ = 0,5 feet

Of these two values we have to dismiss x₁ because if x = 1.5 we don´t have a cube ( 0 height )

Then we take x = 0,5 feet

And

V (max) = (2)²*0,5 = 4*0,5

V (max) = 2 ft³

Use the Rational Zero Theorem to list all possible rational zeros for the given function. f(x) = 10x^5 + 8x^4 - 15x^3 +2x^2 - 2

vagabundo [1.1K]

Given:

The function is:

$f(x)=10x^5+8x^4-15x^3+2x^2-2$

To find:

All the possible rational zeros for the given function by using the Rational Zero Theorem.

Solution:

According to the rational root theorem, all the rational roots are of the form $\dfrac{p}{q},q\neq 0$ , where p is a factor of constant term and q is a factor of leading coefficient.

We have,

$f(x)=10x^5+8x^4-15x^3+2x^2-2$

Here,

Constant term = -2

Leading coefficient = 10

Factors of -2 are ±1, ±2.

Factors of 10 are ±1, ±2, ±5, ±10.

Using the rational root theorem, all the possible rational roots are:

$x=\pm 1,\pm 2,\pm \dfrac{1}{2}, \pm \dfrac{1}{5},\pm \dfrac{2}{5},\pm \dfrac{1}{10}$ .

Therefore, all the possible rational roots of the given function are $\pm 1,\pm 2,\pm \dfrac{1}{2}, \pm \dfrac{1}{5},\pm \dfrac{2}{5},\pm \dfrac{1}{10}$ .

Which of the following is NOT equivalent to -3(10 - 4)?

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

-3(10) - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(10 - 4) = -18

-3(10) - 4 = -34

-30 - (-12) = -18

-3(10) - (-3)(4) = -18

-18 = -18
