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

Did I do this correct???
kondor19780726 [428]
The answer is actually D. Since 2.5 is a side of each tiny block, there is 3 sides that you are going to multiply together. There is 5,2 and 4 because we are multiplying the length,width and side. So the length is 2.5*5=12.5 which was correct. The width is 2.5*4=10 which you had but you crossed it out. Then lastly you are looking for the side of the shape. 2.5*2=5. Now that I have everything I just need to multiply everything together. 12.5*10*5=625 in³. I hope this helped you!

(1.2 x 10-4) + (2.4 x 10-3)
ryzh [129]

Answer:

29

Step-by-step explanation:

(1.2 x 10-4) + (2.4 x 10-3)

Simplify

1.2 x 10- 4 = 8

2.4 x 10- 3 = 21

Add both sums to get 29!

SCIENTIFIC NOTATION

2.9 x 10 to the 1st power

Move the decimal over to make a number less than ten, so that makes 2.9 and 10 to the 1st because you moved the decimal once! Hope this is better
