We looking for distance
1 answer:
Answer:
240 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Figure is attached.
The distance the particle travels is the area under the v-t graph over the time interval from 0 min to 4 min. The reason you can't just multiply velocity by time is that the velocity is changing at a constant rate over the given time interval (the line is going upward--the particls is speeding up).
What's the area under the graph?
The red outline forms a trapezoid. The area of a trapezoid is where the <em>b</em>'s are the lengths of the two parallel base and <em>h</em> is the height (the distance between the bases).
Reading the graph carefully (notice the scales!)...

Step-by-step explanation:
of the students wore shorts.
of the students wore jeans.
Converting the fractions of the students who wore shorts and jeans respectively;
= 0.25
= 0.25
This means that the ratio of students who wore shorts is the same as that of students who wore jeans.

Answer:
$4
Step-by-step explanation:
The two purchases can be written in terms of the cost of an adult ticket (a) and the cost of a student ticket (s):
7a +16s = 120 . . . . . . . . price for the first purchase
13a +9s = 140 . . . . . . . . price for the second purchase
Using Cramer's rule, the value of s can be found as ...
s = (120·13 -140·7)/(16·13 -9·7) = 580/145 = 4
The cost of a student ticket is $4.

<em>Comment on Cramer's Rule</em>
Cramer's rule is particularly useful for systems that don't have "nice" numbers that would make substitution or elimination easy methods to use. If you locate the numbers in the equation, you can see the X-patterns that are used to compute the numerator and denominator differences.
The value of a is (16·140 -9·120)/(same denominator) = 1160/145 = 8. I wanted to show you these numbers so you could see the numerator X-pattern for the first variable.

Of course, graphical methods can be quick and easy, too.
