Mark made a business trip of 259.5 miles. He averaged 59mph for the first part of the trip and 57mph for the second part. If the

trip took 4.5 hours, how long did he travel at each rate?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

d = r * t

Let the time at 59 miles /  hour be t

59*t + 57* (4.5 - t) = 259.5              Remove the brackets

59*t + 256.5 - 57*t = 259.5            Combine the left

2t + 256.5 = 259.5                         Subtract 228 from both sides

2t = 259.5 - 256.5                          Combine

2t =  3                                              Divide by 2

t = 1.5

So he spent 1.5 hours going at 59 miles per hour

He spent 4.5 - 1.5 = 3 hours going 57 miles per hour.

Petes boat can travel 48 miles upstream in 4 hours. The return trip takes 3 hours. Find the speed of the boat in still water and
tankabanditka [31]
So... hmm bear in mind, when the boat goes upstream, it goes against the stream, so, if the boat has speed rate of say "b", and the stream has a rate of "r", then the speed going up is b - r, the boat's rate minus the streams, because the stream is subtracting speed as it goes up

going downstream is a bit different, the stream speed is "added" to boat's
so the boat is really going faster, is going b + r

notice, the distance is the same, upstream as well as downstream
thus   \bf \begin{cases}
b=\textit{rate of the boat}\\
r=\textit{rate of the river}
\end{cases}\qquad thus
\\\\\\

\begin{array}{lccclll}
&distance&rate&time(hrs)\\
&----&----&----\\
upstream&48&b-r&4\\
downstream&48&b+4&3
\end{array}
\\\\\\

\begin{cases}
48=(b-r)(4)\to 48=4b-4r\\\\
\frac{48-4b}{-4}=r\\
--------------\\
48=(b+r)(3)\\
-----------------------------\\\\
thus\\\\
48=\left[ b+\left(\boxed{\frac{48-4b}{-4}}\right) \right] (3)
\end{cases}

solve for "r", to see what the stream's rate is

what about the boat's? well, just plug the value for "r" on either equation and solve for "b"

Im even worse at this
stira [4]

The first sentence is irrelevant information, you can ignore that!

There are 20 players. Each player paid the <em>same amount. </em>

In total, they payed $500,000.

We need x, the amount a single player pays. x times 20 will give us 500,000. This gives us the equation 20x=500,000

Divide both sides by 20 to isolate the variable.

x=25,000

Find an equation of a line through √3,1 / 2) parallel to the line:
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

(a) x=\sqrt{3}

(b) y=\frac{1}{2}

(c) Answer of part a is equation of line x=\sqrt{3} which is parallel to y axis and in part by equation of line is y=\frac{1}{2} which is parallel to x axis

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given points are (\sqrt{3},\frac{1}{2})

(a) Equation of line is given x = -9

We have to find the equation of line parallel to x= -9 and passing through (\sqrt{3},\frac{1}{2})

x = -9 line is parallel to y axis and so slope will be infinite

Equation of line is given by y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

So y-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{0}(x-\sqrt{3})

x=\sqrt{3}

(b) Equation of line is given y=-\sqrt{7}

This line is parallel to x axis so slope will be zero

So equation of line will be y-\frac{1}{2}=0(x-\sqrt{3})

y=\frac{1}{2}

(c) Answer of part a is equation of line x=\sqrt{3} which is parallel to y axis and in part by equation of line is y=\frac{1}{2} which is parallel to x axis

What is radical 3 plus radical 4
Lelechka [254]

Those two numbers can't be directly added as long as they're in
radical form.  The only way to add them is to find both square roots,
and then add those.

Another twist is the fact that every number has two square roots ...
one positive and the other negative.  So there are four possible sums
of (√3 + √4) .

√3 = + or - 1.732051  (rounded)

√4 = + or - 2 (exactly)

The four sums are:

(+1.73205) + (+2) =  <em>3.732  </em>(rounded)
(+1.73205) + (-2) = <em>-0.268</em>  (rounded)
(-1.73205) + (+2) = <em>+0.268</em> (rounded)
(-1.73205) + (-2) = <em>-3.732</em>  (rounded)
