Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

d1 = d

d2 = 75 - d

r1 = x

r2 = x + 7

t = 3

Equation

x*t + (x + 7)*t = 75

This equation represents the total distance travelled. Neither one of the cyclists have gone 75 miles, but they both have gone distances that equal a total of 75 miles.

Solution

3x + (x + 7)*3 = 75

3x + 3x + 21 = 75

6x + 21 = 75

6x = 54

6x/6 = 54/6

x = 9

Answer

The first cyclist is going 9 miles / hr

The second cyclist is going 16 miles / hour

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

A sinusoidal model would be used

The kind of function that have consistency in the periodic rate of change is the Average rate of changes

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of model that would be used is sinusoidal model and this is because there is periodic change in the values given ( i.e the rate of changes given )

For percentage rate of changes :

starting from 0.9% there is an increase to 1.3% then a decrease to 1.1% and a further decrease to 1% before an increase to 1.3% and another decrease to 1%

For Average rate of changes:

starting from 2.9 there is a decrease to 2.4, then an increase to 3.7 and another decrease to 3.1 followed by an increase to 3.6 and a decrease back to 3.2

This relation ( sinusoidal model ) is best suited for a linear model because there is a periodic rate of change in the functions

The kind of function that have consistency in the period rate of change is the Average rate of changes

When paid flat a round parachute has a diameter of 8 meters. What is the parachute’s circumference
mariarad [96]

Answer:

25.12 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is given by

c=2\pi r (1)

where:

\pi\sim 3.14

r is the radius of the circle

In this problem, the parachute has a diameter of 8 meters:

d = 8 m

The radius of a circle is equal to half of its diameter, so the radius of the parachute is:

r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{8}{2}=4 m

And therefore, by applying eq.(1) we can find the circumference of the circle:

c=2\pi r=2\cdot 3.14 \cdot 4 = 25.12 m

AleksandrR [38]

Replace y with 31:

31 = 7x -4

Add 4 to both sides:

35 = 7x

Divide both sides by 7:

x = 5

Input x = 5

Samantha read 22 books in 4 months. How many books would she read in 10 months?
kari74 [83]

Well first let's find out how many books she reads in 1 month.
1) 22 (books) ÷4 (months)=5.5 she reads 5.5 books in one month.
Now we multiply 5.5 by the amount of months she will be reading.
2) 5.5 (books) ×10 ( months)=55 books
SAMANTHA WILL READ 55 BOOKS IN 10 MONTHS
