Answer:

  a) average rate = (total distance)/(total time)

  b) Rave = 2·R1·R2/(R1 +R2)

  c) cheetah's average rate ≈ 50.91 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Let AB represent the distance from A to B. Let t1 and t2 represent the travel times (in hours) on leg1 and leg2 of the trip, respectively. Then the distances traveled are...

  First leg distance: AB = 70·t1   ⇒   t1 = AB/70

  Second leg distance: AB = 40·t2   ⇒   t2 = AB/40

The average rate is the ratio of total distance to total time:

  average rate = (AB +AB)/(t1 +t2)

  average rate = 2AB/(AB/70 +AB/40) = 2/(1/70 +1/40) = 2(40)(70)/(70+40)

  average rate = 560/11 = 50 10/11 . . . mph

__

No equations are given, so we cannot compare what we wrote with the given equations. In each step of the solution, we have used the rules of algebra and equality.

b) For two rates over the same distance (as above), the average is their harmonic mean:

  average rate = 2r1·r2/(r1+r2)

__

c) The cheetah's average rate was 50 10/11 mph ≈ 50.91 mph.

Answer:

Sum of interior angles of polygon = (n-2)*180

1) Pentagon:

  • (5-2)*180= 540

2)Hexagon:

  • (6-2)*180= 720

3) Heptagon:

  • (7-2)*180= 900

4) Octagon:

  • (8-2)*180= 1080

The function for the cost of materials to make a muffin is f(x) = Three fourths x + 3, where x is the number of muffins. The fun
larisa [96]

So first let’s put g(f(x)) together by putting f(x) for every x in g(x)

We get g(f(x))=3(3/4x+3)+4 which is the selling price equation

Then you plug in 20 to find the selling price for 20 muffins.

g(f(x))=3(3/4(20)+3)+4

g(f(x))=3(60/4+3)+4

g(f(x))=3(18)+4

g(f(x))=54+4

g(f(x))=58

So the selling price will be $58 for 20 muffins.
