A kayaker is paddling at a steady rate for 10 miles with the river current. She can only travel 4 miles against the current in the same amount of time. If the rate of the current is 8 miles per hour, what is the kayaker’s rate in still water (without the current)?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 18.66 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

The velocity of the Kayak can be written as the velocity of the kayak in still water plus the rate of the current.

If K is the velocity of the kajak, and C the velocity of the current, we have that:

When the kajak moves along with the current, for a given time T.

(K + C)*T = 10mi

when the kajak move against the current:

(K - C)*T = 4mi

now we can replace C by 8mph, and take the quotient of both equations:

((K + 8mph)*T)/(K - 8mph)*T)) = 10mi/4mi

(K + 8)/(K-8) = 10/4

K + 8 = (K- 8)*10/4

K + 8 = K*10/4 - 20

K*10/4 - K = K*6/4 = 20 + 8 = 28

K = 28*4/6 = 18.66

So the rate of the kajak is 18.66 miles per hour.

What does measuring the spread of a data set tell us, and why is that significant?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Measure of spread is used in describing the variability in a sample.

Examples of measure of spread are: Mean, Median and Mode.

A measure of spread helps in giving an idea of how well the mean, or mode, or median, whichever of the three measure of spreads we use, represents the data under consideration. If the spread of values in the data set is large, that means there a lot of variation between the values of the data set. It is always better to have a small spread.

Answer:

Measuring the spread of a data set tells us how far are the values of data set to respect the mean. For example, large mean absolute deviation (MAD) value indicates that the values of data set are very different from the mean, i. e., they are very spread. Therefore, the mean is not representative of the data. On the other hand, in a small spread case, the mean is representative.

Answer:

Area = 36 sq. units

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 values you need to solve for the area are the top base length, bottom base length, and height.

Top base length = 7 . It's the distance between point A and B.

Bottom base length = 11. It's the distance between points C and D.

Height = 4. It's the perpendicular distance from the top to the bottom base.

The formula to solve the area of a trapezoid (or trapezium, I'm American) is:

A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}h(b_{1} +b_{2})[/tex]

Put in the numbers above for the unknowns and you will get this:

A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(4)(7 + 11)[/tex]

Simplify:

A= [tex]\frac{1}{2}(4)(18)[/tex]

A = 2(18)

A = 36

So the answer is 36. Hope I helped!

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

top base= B(x)-A(x)= 10-3= 7

bottom base= C(x)- D(x)= 12-1= 11

height= A(y) - D(y) = B(y)- C(y)= 5-1=4

Area= 1/2(7+11)*4= 36

A new car is purchased for 15700 dollars. The value of the car depreciates at 7.5% per year. To the nearest year, how long will it be until the value of the car is 10100 dollars?

Answers

It would be about 5 years

It will take almost 6 years to depreciate the value of the car to 10100 dollars.

What is Depreciation?

Depreciation is a term used to indicate the decreasing value of an asset over time due to use, unfavorable market conditions and so on.

Initial amount of the car = 15700 dollars

Depreciating percent = 7.5% = 7.5/100 = 0.075

Final amount = 10100 dollars

Number of years taken to depreciate the value of the car to 10100 dollars can be found by the formula,

A = P(1 + r)ⁿ

where A = 10100 dollars, P = 15700 dollars, r = -0.075.

10100 = 15700 (1 - 0.075)ⁿ

10100 / 15700 = (1 - 0.075)ⁿ

0.6433 = (0.925)ⁿ

Taking logarithm on both sides,

㏒ 0.6433 = ㏒ (0.925)ⁿ

We have the power rule for logarithms, ㏒ (mⁿ) = n ㏒(m)

㏒ 0.6433 = n ㏒ (0.925)

n = ㏒ 0.6433 / ㏒ (0.925)

n = 5.658 ≈ 6 years

Hence almost 6 years will be taken to depreciate the value of the car to 10100 dollars.

First you want to calculate the volume of the entire imaginary prism, 12×15×6

=1080,

afterwards you want to calculate the missing volume, which you can think of as a bite. First, find the sides.

12-8=4            5-15=10

Now calculate the volume of the bite, 4×10×6

=240

Now take the bite out of the sandwich, 1080-240

= 840

Follow the same steps, though this time the sides of the "bite" are given.

10×12×8

= 960

4×5×8

= 160

960-160 = 800 cm

The slope was found using the points (6.4, 117) and (6.6, 120). What is the value of b in the equation of the trend line?


y = 15x + b

Answers

Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of the given line y = 15x + b.

Points passing through the above line (6.4, 117) and (6.6, 120)

If these point pass through the given line.

These point should satisfy the equation.

plugging in value of one of the point (6.4, 117)  in the line y = 15x + b

we have

117 = 15*6.4 + b

=> 117 = 96 + b

=> 117 - 96 = b

=> b = 21

Thus, value of b in the given equation is 21.

Answer:

Part A: is x = 6 a solution of the equation 8x + 8 = 56? Explain. Part B: Suppose the solution of the equation stays the same. How would the right side need to change if the solution is now x = 9?

Answers

Answer:

Part A: yes . Part B: minus 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

8x + 8 = 56

8x = 56-8

8x = 48

x = 48 / 8

x = 6 , YES!

Part B

Suppose x = 9 and find y:

8(9) + 8 + y = 56

80 + y = 56

y = 56 - 80

y = -24

So we have to add -24 to the equation. The new equation: 8x + 8 - 24 = 56
