Judy spent 3 hours driving 165 miles She thinks

Mathematics

sasho [114]2 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

she drove already 165 miles.

she will reach her destination, if she drives 4 more hours by going 65 miles/hour.

that would mean she would travel

65×4 = 260 miles

in these 4 hours.

so, the total trip is then 165 + 260 = 425 miles.

but what I find strange is that your teacher specified how long it took her to drive the first 165 miles.

as you can see above, it would make no difference for the calculation of the total trip length in miles.

this is either an attempt to confuse us, or the message is that Judy has to achieve an average of 65 miles/hour for the whole trip, and the problem definition was just imperfectly phrased.

if that is the case, then things look a bit different, as her average speed was only 165/3 = 55 miles/hour for the first 3 hours and 165 miles.

so,

(165 + x)/(3 + 4) hours = 65/hour

(165 + x)/7 hours = 65/hour

165 + x = 65 × 7 hours / hour = 65×7 = 455 miles

x = 455 - 165 = 290 miles

she would have to go

290 miles / 4 hours = 72.5 miles/hour

for these next 4 hours (and 290 miles) to reach an overall average speed of 65 miles/hour.

and the total trip would be then

165 + 290 = 455 miles

I am not sure, which your teacher wants here.

65 miles/hour average speed just for the next 4 hours, or to speed up that much for the next 4 hours that the overall trip average is then 65 miles/hour.

again, the phrasing of the problem definition suggests the first case, but the fact that the travel time for the first part of the trip is given could suggest the second case (as this information is not needed for the first case).

Lavinia is standing at point A(4,8, 2). This is the starting point of a mountain hike. The end of the hike is at point B(6, 12,
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Question 1: b) Find the total distance from A to B

Distance formula:

d=Square root of (x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2+(z2-z1)^2

d=Square root of (6-4)^2+(12-8)^2+(10-2)^2

d= 9.165 = 9.17 units

The equation A = x(x-4) describes the area, A, of a rectangular flower garden, where x is the width in feet.
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The flower garden width would be 6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 12 ft^2 = x(x + 4) becomes:

x^2 + 4x - 12 = 0, or (by completing the square) x^2 + 4x + 4 - 4 - 12 = 0

Thus, we have (x + 2)^2 - 16 = 0, or (x + 2)^2 = 16

Taking the square root of both sides yields x + 2 = ±4.

In this context only a positive x value makes sense:  x = 2 + 4  =>  x = 6.

The flower garden width would be 6 ft.  The other dimension would be 6 - 4, or 2, ft.

Give the slope of the graph and the unit rate
Lerok [7]

Answer:

y=5/4 x

The slope is 5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we need  to find the equation of the line, y=mx+b

We've been given a table with several points, so we can use two of them to perform our calculus.

To obtain the slope we need to use the equation of slopes:

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

Where (x1,y1) =(4,5) and (x2,y2)=(8,10)

m= (10-5)/(8-4)=5/4

To obtain b we can use the point (x2,y2)=(8,10) in the equation.

10=5/4 *8 +b

b=0

Hence our line has the following equation:

y=5/4 x
