L•w=102
l=8w+6
8w+6•w=102
9w+6=102
102-6=96
9w=96
96/9= 10.67
Width is 10.67 yards

The 1992 world speed record for a bicycle (human-powered vehicle) was set by Chris Huber. His time through the measured 200 m st

Reil [10]

Answer:

a) 30.726m/s and b) 5.5549s

Step-by-step explanation:

a.) What was Chris Huber’s speed in meters per second(m/s)?

Given the distance and time, the formula to obtain the speed is

$v=\frac{d}{t}$ .

Applying this to our problem we have that

$v=\frac{200m}{6.509s}= 30.726m/s$ .

So, Chris Huber’s speed in meters per second(m/s) was 30.726m/s.

b) What was Whittingham’s time through the 200 m?

In a) we stated that $v=\frac{d}{t}$ . This formula implies that

$t=\frac{d}{v}$ .

First, observer that $19\frac{km}{h} =19,000\frac{m}{h}=\frac{19,000}{3,600}m/s= 5.2777m/s$ .

Then, Sam Whittingham speed was equal to Chris Huber’s speed plus 5.2777 m/s. So, $v=30.726\frac{m}{s} +5.2777\frac{m}{s}= 36.003 m/s.$

Then, applying 1) we have that

$t=\frac{200m}{36.003m/s}=5.5549s.$

So, Sam Whittingham’s time through the 200 m was 5.5549s.

Charlie used a regression calculator to generate the equation f(x) = –0.15x + 20.1 for the ordered pairs (2, 15), (4, 21), (6, 2

aivan3 [116]

Answer: The r-value for the linear function related to the ordered pairs is very close to zero, so it is not a good representation of the data. A quadratic model would better represent the data because there is a turning point within the data set. The data increases then decreases, which is what the graph of a quadratic does.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

The population of a city has decreased by 38% since it was last measured. If the current population is 27,900 .Previous population of city was 45000.

Solution:

Given that current population of city is 27900.

Also, population of a city has decreased by 38% since it was last measured.

Let assume that population of city when it was last measured = x

Decreased of 38% means x-38% of x . we can write this as,

$=x-\frac{38}{100} \times x$
