Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Question:</em>

Sarah wants to arrive at her friend’s wedding at 3:00 PM. The distance from Sarah’s house to the wedding is 85 miles. Based on usual traffic patterns, Sarah predicts she can drive the first 15 miles at 60 miles per hour, the next 5 miles at 30 miles per hour, and the remainder of the drive at 65 miles per hour.

(A) how many minutes will it take Sarah to drive the first 15 miles?

(B) how many minutes will it take Sarah to drive 5 miles?

(C) how many hours will it take Sarah to drive the rest of the trip?

(D) what time should Sarah leave her house? (Give your answer using standard hour:minute clock format.)

<em>Solution:</em>

Total distance = 85 miles

There are three segments of this trip, each one with its own speed.

<em>1) 15 miles at 60 mph</em>

<em>2) 5 miles at 30 mph</em>

Up to here, the distance is 15 miles + 5 miles = 20 miles.

The total distance is 85 miles, so the last segment of the trip is 85 miles - 20 miles = 65 miles.

<em>3) 65 miles at 65 mph</em>

The equation for speed is:

speed = distance/time

Now we solve it for time:

speed * time = distance

time = distance/speed

To find a time, divide the distance by the speed.

Part (A)

distance = 15 miles; speed = 60 mph; find time

time = distance/speed = 15 miles/60 mph = 0.25 hours

Since 1 hour = 60 minutes,

time = 0.25 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 15 minutes

Part (B)

distance = 5 miles; speed = 30 mph; find time

time = distance/speed = 5 miles/30 mph = 1/6 hour

Since 1 hour = 60 minutes,

times = 1/6 hour * 60 minutes/hour = 10 minutes

Part (C)

distance = 65 miles; speed = 65 mph; find time

time = distance/speed = 65 miles/65 mph = 1 hour

Part (D)

The driving times for the three segments are 15 minutes, 10 minutes, and 1 hour. The total driving time is

15 minutes + 10 minutes + 1 hour = 1 hour and 25 minutes

Now we subtract 1 hour 25 minutes from 3:00 pm.

3:00 pm is the same as 2:60 pm

2:60 pm - 1:25 = 1:35 pm

She needs to leave at 1:35 pm

Answer:

V ≈ 5575.28  

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you will get the radius and in order to get the radius you have to divide 22/2 which will give you 11 then you will plug 11 into the formula which is V= 4/3 pi r^3 then it will come out as this V=4/3 pi 11^3 and if you plug that into the calculator it will give you an answer of 5575.28.

Mr. Larsen's third grade class has 22 students, 12 girls and 10 boys. Two students must be selected at random to be in the fall
kupik [55]

The probability of no boys being chosen will be 0.29.

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Its basic premise is that something will almost certainly happen. The percentage of favorable events to the total number of occurrences.

Mr. Larsen's third-grade class has 22 students, 12 girls, and 10 boys.

Two students must be selected at random to be in the fall play.

Then the probability of no boys being chosen will be

Total event = ²²C₂ = 231

Favorable event = ¹²C₂ = 66

Then the probability will be

P = 66 / 231

P = 0.2857

P ≅ 0.29

Which inequality represents all values of x for which the product below is defined
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

(-∞, -2) ∪ (0, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply together the (7x) and the (x+2), obtaining 7x^2 + 14x.  This is the correct argument (input) to Answer A.

Since the domain of the square root function includes "all real numbers equal to or greater than 0," we set 7x^2 + 14x = to 0.  This factors to the original 7x*(x+2), set equal to 0.  The roots are 0 and -2.  

These two values create three intervals:  (-∞, -2), (-2, 0) and (0, ∞).

Choosing test numbers, one from each interval:  {-5, -1, 1}.

7x^2 + 14x is + at x = -5, - at x = -1, and + at x = 1.

Thus, the domain of this function is  (-∞, -2) ∪ (0, ∞).  In other words, the product shown is defined on  (-∞, -2) ∪ (0, ∞).
