A bear loves visiting his friend, the piglet. The distance between their houses is 300m , and the bear always walks from his hou

se to the piglet's house in exactly the same amount of time. But today, the bear stops at a beehive after walking —1 of the 4 distance. He eats honey for 2.5 minutes and then continues to the piglet's house at a speed 15 m/min faster than usual. The total journey to the piglet's house takes the exact same amount of time as it usually does, when the bear does not stop for honey. How long does the journey take?

Answer:

10mins

Step-by-step explanation:

you can draw a rtd chart for this problem

             rate (m/min)|  time (mins)  | distance (m )

regular: (300/x)  | x  | 300m

fist 1/4 : (300/x) | 75: (300/x)  | 75m

last 3/4:  | (300/x)+15 | 225:(300/x + 15) | 225m

then, make an equation for the times:

x= (75: (300/x)) + (225: ( (300/x)+15) + 2.5 = x

// get the 2.5 mins from the stop for honey, and we know that regular speed is equal to the one with a stop

solve equation to get x=-20/3 , x=10, because speed is positive, x=10 is the most reasonable answer

If the sum of the even integers between 1 and k, inclusive, is equal to 2k, what is the value of k?
Alisiya [41]
If k is odd, then

\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{\lfloor k/2\rfloor}2n=2\dfrac{\left\lfloor\frac k2\right\rfloor\left(\left\lfloor\frac k2\right\rfloor+1\right)}2=\left\lfloor\dfrac k2\right\rfloor^2+\left\lfloor\dfrac k2\right\rfloor

while if k is even, then the sum would be

\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{k/2}2n=2\dfrac{\frac k2\left(\frac k2+1\right)}2=\dfrac{k^2+2k}4

The latter case is easier to solve:

\dfrac{k^2+2k}4=2k\implies k^2-6k=k(k-6)=0

which means k=6.

In the odd case, instead of considering the above equation we can consider the partial sums. If k is odd, then the sum of the even integers between 1 and k would be

S=2+4+6+\cdots+(k-5)+(k-3)+(k-1)

Now consider the partial sum up to the second-to-last term,

S^*=2+4+6+\cdots+(k-5)+(k-3)

Subtracting this from the previous partial sum, we have

S-S^*=k-1

We're given that the sums must add to 2k, which means

S=2k
S^*=2(k-2)

But taking the differences now yields

S-S^*=2k-2(k-2)=4

and there is only one k for which k-1=4; namely, k=5. However, the sum of the even integers between 1 and 5 is 2+4=6, whereas 2k=10\neq6. So there are no solutions to this over the odd integers.
