Given :

Distance between them, D = 14 miles .

Mr. Howard can run 3 miles in 30 minutes.

Ms. Egan can run 4 miles in 30 minutes.

To Find :

Time taken by them to meet.

Solution :

Mr Howard speed, $v_H=\dfrac{3}{0.5}=6\ mph$ .

Mr Egan speed, $v_e=\dfrac{4}{0.5}=- 8\ mph$ . [ Since they run in opposite direction ]

Their relative speed :

$v=v_E-v_H\\\\v = 8-(-6) \ mph \\\\v = 14 \ mph$

Time taken by them to meet :

$T = \dfrac{14}{14}\ hours\\\\T = 1 \ hours$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A rectangular school banner has a length of 36 inches and a width of 52 inches. A sign is made that is similar to the school ban

zalisa [80]

Answer:

<u>4212 : 1573</u> is the ratio.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of rectangular school banner is 36 inches and width is 52 inches.

And, the sign made is similar to banner.

The sign's length is 22 inches.

Now, we have to find the ratio of the area of the banner to the area of the sign.

So, we have dimensions of rectangular school banner:

Length = 36 inches.

Width = 52 inches.

But, we have only length of sign:

Length = 22 inches.

Now, we have to find the width of sign by using cross multiplication method:

Let the width of sign be $x.$

<em>As, sign is similar to banner.</em>

So, if 36 inches is equivalent to 52 inches.

Then, 22 inches is equivalent to $x.$

$\frac{36}{52} =\frac{22}{x}$

<em>By cross multiplying we get:</em>

<em /> $36x=1144$ <em />

<em>Dividing both sides by 36 we get:</em>

$x=31\frac{7}{9} .$

<em>Hence, the width of sign is </em> $31\frac{7}{9}$ <em> inches.</em>

Now, we find the area of banner and the area of sign by putting formula:

Area of banner = length × width.

$Area\ of\ banner=36\times 52$

$Area\ of\ banner=1872\ square\ inches.$

Now, area of sign:

$Area\ of\ sign=length\times width\\\\Area\ of\ sign=22\times 31\frac{7}{9} \\\\Area\ of\ sign=22\times \frac{286}{9} \\\\Area\ of\ sign=\frac{6292}{9} \ square\ inches.$

Now, to get the ratio of the area of the school banner to the area of the sign:

$1872:\frac{6292}{9}$

$=\frac{1872}{\frac{6292}{9} } \\\\=\frac{16848}{6292}$

<em>On simplifying we get:</em>

$=\frac{4212}{1573}$

$=4212:1573.$

Therefore, the ratio of the area of the school banner to the area of the sign is 4212:1573.

3 regions are defined in the figure find the volume generated by rotating the given region about the specific line

anastassius [24]

The volume generated by rotating the given region $R_{3}$ about OC is $\frac{4}{g} \pi$

<h3>Washer method</h3>

Because the given region ( $R_{3}$ ) has a look like a washer, we will apply the washer method to find the volume generated by rotating the given region about the specific line.

solution

We first find the value of x and y

$y=2(x)^{\frac{1}{4} }$

$x=(\frac{y}{2} )^{4}$

$y=2x$

$x=\frac{y}{2}$

$\int\limits^a_b {\pi } \, (R_{o^{2} } - R_{i^{2} } ) dy$

$R_{o} = x = \frac{y}{2}$

$R_{i} = x= (\frac{y}{2}) ^{4}$

$a=0, b=2$

$v= \int\limits^2_o {\pi } \, [(\frac{y}{2})^{2} - ((\frac{y}{2}) ^{4} )^{2} ) dy$

$v= \pi \int\limits^2_o= [\frac{y^{2} }{4} - \frac{y^{8} }{2^{8} }} ] dy$

$v= \pi [\int\limits^2_o {\frac{y^{2} }{4} } \, dy - \int\limits^2_o {\frac{y}{2^{8} } ^{8} } \, dy ]$

$v=\pi [\frac{1}{4} \frac{y^{3} }{3} \int\limits^2_0 - \frac{1}{2^{8} } \frac{y^{g} }{g} \int\limits^2_o\\v= \pi [\frac{1}{12} (2^{3} -0)-\frac{1}{2^{8}*9 } (2^{g} -0)]\\v= \pi [\frac{2}{3} -\frac{2}{g} ]\\v= \frac{4}{g} \pi$

A scientist counts 25 bacteria present in a culture and finds that the number of bacteria triples each hour. The function y = 25

Anvisha [2.4K]

$y = 25\cdot~3^x\\ \\ 1170 = 25\cdot~3^x\\ \\ \frac{1170}{25} = 3^x\\ \\ \frac{243}{5} = 3^x\\ \\ log\ \frac{243}{5} = log~3^x\\ \\ log~243-log~5=x~log~3\\ \\ 
 log~3^5-log~5=x~log~3\\ \\ 5~log~3-log~5 = x~log~3\\ \\ 5(0,48)-0,70= 0,48x\\ \\ 2,4-0,7 = 0,48x\\ \\ 1,7=0,48x\\ \\ x=\frac{1,7}{0,48}\\ \\ \large{\boxed{x=3,54\ h}}$
