A cyclist travels 5 miles each way on a bike path. Travel in one direction is with a 4 mile per hour wind and travel back is aga

inst a 4 mile per hour wind. Part A: Write and simplify an equation for the amount of time t in hours it will take the cyclist to make the trip. Part B: What is the cyclist's total travel time, if she travels an average of 6 miles per hour without the wind?

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

In spherical geometry, all points are points on the surface of a sphere. A line is a circle on the sphere whose diameter is equa
mamaluj [8]

Answer: It is not possible that two triangles that are similar and not congruent in spherical geometry.

Step-by-step explanation:

For instance, taking a circle on the sphere whose diameter is equal to the diameter of the sphere and inside is an equilateral triangle, because the sphere is perfect, if we draw a circle (longitudinal or latitudinal lines) to form a circle encompassing an equally shaped triangle at different points of the sphere will definately yield equal size.

in other words, triangles formed in a sphere must be congruent and also similar meaning having the same shape and must definately have the same size.

Therefore, it is not possible for two triangles in a sphere that are similar but not congruent.

Two triangles in sphere that are similar must be congruent.

A case of Mountain Dew (24cans) costs $7.68. What is the unit price?
Ronch [10]
Here are the unit rates involved:

$7.68 / 1 case  =  $7.68 per case

$7.68 / 24 cans  =  $0.32 per can

1 case / $7.68  =  0.13 case per $

24 cans / $7.68  =  3.125 cans per $

And of course ...

24 cans / 1 case  =  24 cans per case

1 case / 24 cans  =  0.041666... case per can
