Ally's tricycle has two different wheel sizes: one larger wheel and two smaller wheels. As Ally travels the distance between her

house and her neighbor's house on the tricycle, the larger wheel revolves 10 times and each of the smaller wheels revolve 25 times. If half the circumference of the larger wheel is 5 inches more than the circumference of one of the smaller wheels, what is the distance, in inches, traveled by the tricycle between Ally's house and her neighbor's house?

Answer:

500 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C₁ and n₁ be the circumference and the number of rotations of the larger wheel. Also, let C₂ and n₂ be the circumference and the number of rotations of the smaller wheel. Since the distance moved by both wheels from Ally's house to her neighbor's house is the same, n₁C₁ = n₂C₂. (1)

Also it is given that half the circumference of the larger wheel is 5 inches more than the circumference of one of the smaller wheels.

So, C₁/2 = C₂ + 5

C₁ = 2(C₂ + 5)  (2)

Substituting C₁ into (1), we have

n₁C₁ = n₂C₂.

n₁[2(C₂ + 5)] = n₂C₂.

Since n₁ = 10 and n₂ = 25, we have

10[2(C₂ + 5)] = 25C₂

20(C₂ + 5) = 25C₂

expanding the bracket,

20C₂ + 100 = 25C₂

collecting like terms, we have

25C₂ - 20C₂ = 100

5C₂ = 100

dividing both sides by 5, we have

C₂ = 100/5

= 20 inches

So, the distance between Ally's house and her neighbor's house is d = n₂C₂ = 25(20)

= 500 inches

What is the vertex and axis of symmetry for y=4x^2-12x+9?
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

axis of symmetry   x=3/2

vertex  (3/2, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the axis of symmetry we use h = -b/2a

where ax^2 + bx+c


h = -(-12)/2(4)

h= 12/8

h = 3/2

the axis of symmetry is x = 3/2

the x coordinate of the vertex is h x=3/2

to find k, the y coordinate of the vertex, substitute x=3/2 into the equation

y=4x^2-12x+9

y=4(3/2) ^2-12(3/2)+9

 = 4 (9/4)  - 6*3 +9

  = 9-18+9

  = 0


the vertex (3/2, 0)

Which expression is the same as 10÷4?
prisoha [69]
10/4 is not the simplified version that it can be. So 5/2 would be the same expression.

A system of linear equations with fewer equations than unknowns is sometimes called an underdetermined system. Can such a system
elena55 [62]

Answer:

No, it cannot have a unique solution. Because there are more variables than​ equations, there must be at least one free variable. If the linear system is consistent and there is at least one free​ variable, the solution set contains infinitely many solutions. If the linear system is​ inconsistent, there is no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

the questionnaire options are incomplete, however the given option is correct

We mark this option as correct because in a linear system of equations there can be more than one solution, since the components of the equations, that is, the variables are multiple, leaving free variables which generates more alternative solutions, however when there is no consistency there will be no solution
