It will take Zach 2 hrs to get 8 miles because he is running at a constant of 4

while tommy is running at a constant of 3 it will take him 3 and a half hrs to run 8 miles

Answer:

\frac{14}{25} hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

Distance = speed × time

Given,

Speed of tommy = 3 miles per hour,

So, the distance covered by him 2 hours = 6 miles,

Also, speed of Zach = 4 miles per hour,

Let after x hours they are 8 miles apart,

That is, total distance covered by Tommy = 6 + 3x,

And, total distance covered by Zach = 4x,

Thus, by making the diagram of this situation,

We get,

A right triangle having hypotenuse 8 and legs 3x+6 and 4x,

By the pythagorean theorem,

(3x+6)^2+(4x)^2=8^2

9x^2+36x+36+16x^2=64

25x^2+36x-28=0

25x^2+50x-14x-28=0

25x(x+2)-14(x+2)=0

(25x-14)(x+2)=0

25x-14=0\text{ or }x+2=0

⇒ x = \frac{14}{25} or x = -2

Number of hours can not be negative,

Hence, after \frac{14}{25} hours they are 8 miles apart.

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

 The conclusion is that the researcher was correct

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The sample size is  n =  13

    The sample mean is  \= x =  9.63

     The standard deviation is  s =  0.585

      The significance level is  \alpha  =  0.05

The Null Hypothesis is  H_o :  \mu = 0

The Alternative  Hypothesis  is  H_a =  \mu < 10

The test statistic is  mathematically represented as

          t =  \frac{\= x - \mu }{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }

Substituting values

          t =  \frac{9.63  - 10 }{\frac{0.585}{\sqrt{13} } }

         t =  -  2.280

Now the critical value for \alpha is  

     t_{\alpha } = 1.645

This obtained from the critical value table

  So comparing the critical value of alpha and the test value we see that the test value is less than the critical value so the Null Hypothesis is rejected

 The conclusion is that the researcher was correct

Triangle JKL is transformed to create triangle J'K'L'. The angles in both triangles are shown.
Margaret [11]

Answer:

The correct option is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle JKL is transformed to create triangle J'K'L'. The angles in both triangles are shown.

J = 90°, J' = 90°

K = 65°, K' = 65°

L = 25°, L' = 25°

In a rigid transformation the  image and pre-image are congruent. Reflection, translation and rotation are rigid transformation.

In a non rigid transformation the image and pre-image are similar. Dilation is a non rigid transformation.

In a rigid or a nonrigid transformation, the corresponding angles are same. If the corresponding sides are same, then it is a rigid transformation and if the corresponding sides are proportional, then it is a non rigid transformation.

It can be a rigid or a nonrigid transformation depending on whether the corresponding side lengths have the same measures.

Therefore option 3 is correct.
