Answer:

a. 10v/(v² - 16) b. 3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Write and simplify an equation for the amount of time t in hours it will take the cyclist to make the trip.

Let v be the speed of the cyclist without the wind. The speed of the cyclist with the 4 mile per hour wind in the direction of the wind is v' = v + 4. Since the distance travelled is 5 miles, and time, t = distance/speed, the time it takes to make this trip is t' = 5/(v + 4)

Let v be the speed of the cyclist. The speed of the cyclist with the 4 mile per hour wind against the direction of the wind is v" = v - 4. Since the distance travelled is 5 miles, and time, t = distance/speed, the time it takes to make this trip is t" = 5/(v - 4).

So, the total travel time, T = t' + t"

= 5/(v + 4) + 5/(v - 4)

= [5(v - 4) + 5(v + 4)]/[(v + 4)(v - 4)]

= [5v - 20 + 5v + 20)]/(v² - 4²)

= 10v/(v² - 16)

b. What is the cyclist's total travel time, if she travels an average of 6 miles per hour without the wind?

If v = 6 miles per hour, then

T = 10v/(v² - 16)

= 10(6)/(6² - 16)

= 60/(36 - 16)

= 60/20

= 3 hours

What value represents the number of ways in which the expected classes are free to vary in the chi-square goodness-of-fit test?
Ket [755]

In statistics, the number of degrees of freedom is the number of values in the final calculation of a statistic that are free to vary.

The number of independent ways by which a dynamic system can move, without violating any constraint imposed on it, is called number of degrees of freedom. In other words, the number of degrees of freedom can be defined as the minimum number of independent coordinates that can specify the position of the system completely.

1/5x-2/3y=30 when y=15
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Set y to 15 and solve</u>

<u />\frac{1}{5}x - \frac{2}{3}*15=30

\frac{1}{5}x-10=30

<em>Add 10 to both sides</em>

<em />\frac{1}{5}x-10+10=30+10

\frac{1}{5}x=40

<em>Multiply both sides by 5</em>

<em />\frac{1}{5}x*\frac{5}{1}=40*\frac{5}{1}

x=200

Answer:  x=200
