If you would like to find the rate of the bicycle and the scooter, you can do this using the following steps:

a scooter: 18 miles ... 2 * r + 5 mph
a bicycle: 8 miles ... r = ? 

18 * r = 8 * (2 * r + 5)
18 * r = 16 * r + 40
18 * r - 16 * r = 40
2 * r = 40
r = 20 mph

a bicycle: r = 20 mph
a scooter: 2 * r + 5 mph = 2 * 20 + 5 = 45 mph

The correct result would be: The rate of the scooter is 45 mph and the rate of the bicycle is 20 mph.

When a deposit of $1000 is made into an account paying 2% interest, compounded annually, the balance, $B, in the account after t
labwork [276]

Answer:

The average rate of change in the balance over the interval t = 0 to t = 5 is of $20.82 a year. This means that the balance increased by $20.82 a year over the interval t = 0 to t = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a function y, the average rate of change S of y=f(x) in an interval (x_{s}, x_{f}) will be given by the following equation:

S = \frac{f(x_{f}) - f(x_{s})}{x_{f} - x_{s}}

In this problem, we have that:

B(t) = 1000(1.02)^{t}

Find the average rate of change in the balance over the interval t = 0 to t = 5.

B(0) = 1000(1.02)^{0} = 1000

B(5) = 1000(1.02)^{5} = 1104.08

Then

S = \frac{1104.08 - 1000}{5-0} = 20.82

The average rate of change in the balance over the interval t = 0 to t = 5 is of $20.82 a year. This means that the balance increased by $20.82 a year over the interval t = 0 to t = 5.

If there is a 10% chance of sun tomorrow and a 20% chance of wind and no sun, what is the probability that it is windy, given th
professor190 [17]
Since there are two events happening simultaneously (windy and no sun), we can apply the concept of conditional probability here. P(A|B) = P(A∩B)/P(B) where it means that given B is happening, the probability that A is happening as well is the ratio of the chance for A and B to happen simultaneously over the chance of B to happen. For our case, this can be interpreted as P(A|B): it is the probability that it is windy (A) GIVEN that there is no sun (B) P(A∩B) : chance of wind and no sun P(B) : chance that there is no sun tomorrow The chance of P(A∩B) is already given as 20% or 0.20. Since there is 10% or 0.10 chance of sun, then chances of having no sun tomorrow is (1-0.10) = 0.90. Thus, we have P(A|B) = 0.2/0.9 ≈ 0.22 or 22%. So, answer is B: 22%<span>.</span>
