Going from point A to point B, the cheetah traveled at an average rate of 70 mph. Returning to point A, the cheetah traveled at an average rate of 40 mph. Can we say that this cheetah’s average rate was 55 mph? The average rate for the trip is equal to the total distance traveled divided by the total time traveled. The following equations represent the distance traveled on each leg of the trip. First leg of trip: d=r_1 t_1 Second leg of trip: d=r_2 t_2 Write an equation for the average rate for the trip. Remember, the cheetah runs from point A to point B and back to point A.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

No.

\(\text{Average rate} = \dfrac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Total time}} = \dfrac{r_{1}t_{1} + r_{2}t_{2}}{t_{1} + t_{2}}\\\\= \text{50.91 mi/h}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

First leg:              d = r₁t₁

Second leg:        d = r₂t₂

                         r₁t₁ = r₂t₂

Total distance: 2d = r₁t₁ + r₂t₂

Total time:           t = t₁ + t₂

1. Equation for average rate

\(\text{Average rate} = \dfrac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Total time}} = \dfrac{r_{1}t_{1} + r_{2}t_{2}}{t_{1} + t_{2}}\)

2. Average rate

Since r₁t₁ = r₂t₂,

\(t_{1} = \dfrac{r_{2}t_{2}}{r_{1}} = \frac{40}{70}t_{2} = \frac{4}{7}t_{2}\\\\\text{Average rate} = \dfrac{2r_{2}t_{2}}{\frac{4}{7}t_{2} + t_{2}} = \dfrac{2 \times 40t_{2}}{\frac{4t_{2}+ 7t_{2}}{7}}= 80t_{2} \times\frac{7}{11t_{2}} = \dfrac{560}{11}\\\\= \textbf{50.91 mi/h}\)

We cannot say truthfully that the average rate is 55 mi/h.

Answer 2

The average rate of a body is the total distance travelled divided by the total time.

The cheetah runs at an average rate of 50.91mph, not 55mph

Let

\(d \to\) distance

\(r \to\) average rate

\(t \to\) time

Given that:

\(d = r_1t_1 = r_2t_2\)

So, we have:

\(r_1 = 70\)

\(r_2 = 40\)

The average rate (r) is calculated as follows:

\(r = \frac{Total\ Distance (D)}{Total\ Time (T)}\)

Where:

\(D=d + d\)

\(D = r_1t_1 + r_2t_2\)

and

\(T =t_1 + t_2\)

So, the average rate is:

\(r =\frac{r_1t_1 + r_2t_2}{t_1 + t_2}\)

Recall that:

\(D = r_1t_1 + r_2t_2\)

\(r_1t_1 = r_2t_2\)

Make \(t_2\) the subject

\(t_2 = \frac{r_1t_1}{r_2}\)

Substitute values for \(r_1\) and \(r_2\)

\(t_2 = \frac{70t_1}{40}\)

So, we have:

\(r =\frac{r_1t_1 + r_2t_2}{t_1 + t_2}\)

\(r = \frac{70t_1 + 40 \times \frac{70t_1}{40}}{t_1 + \frac{70t_1}{40}}\)

\(r = \frac{70t_1 + 70t_1}{t_1 + \frac{70t_1}{40}}\)

\(r = \frac{140t_1}{t_1 + \frac{70t_1}{40}}\)

Factor out t1

\(r= \frac{140t_1}{t_1(1 + \frac{70}{40})}\)

\(r = \frac{140}{(1 + \frac{70}{40})}\)

\(r = \frac{140}{\frac{40+70}{40}}\)

\(r= \frac{140}{\frac{110}{40}}\)

Rewrite as:

\(r = \frac{140 \times 40}{110}\)

\(r = 50.91mph\)

Hence, the cheetah's average rate is 50.91mph, not 55mph

A shipping container will be used to transport several 120-kilogram crates across the country by rail.

Answers

Inequality can be used to determine x, the greatest number of 120-kilogram crates that can be loaded onto the shipping container is  8000 + 120C <= 27500

What is inequality?

An inequality is a relationship that allows us to contrast two or more mathematical expressions.

Knowing that;

Each carton weighs 120 kg.

The container's maximum weight when loaded is 27500 kg.

Weight of the container as it is currently loaded: 8000 kg

Now that we have merged, we have;

Solution

because 8000 grams have already been loaded kilograms

into the container

each crate weighs 120 kilograms.

so 8000 + 120C <= 27500

1. There are only 4 numbers including 5 that follow the "five or more" requirment, and the probability of spinning it once is 4/8, or 1/2. (The total sections is 8) Then we multiply 1/2 and 1/2 together to get the "two times in a row" requirement done. (1/2)*(1/2)= 1/4 is the probability.

2. There are two values on the spinner that are a multiple of 3, 3 itself and 6. Again, the total amount of numbers/sections is 8, so the probability of spinning a multiple of three is 2/8 or 1/4. The probability of spinning an odd number is 4/8 or 1/2. (1/2)*(1/4)=1/8 is the probability.

3. The probability of spinning one odd number is 1/2, and so we multiply 1/2 by itself four times. (1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)=1/16 is the probability.

4. There are 6 numbers greater than two on the number wheel not including two itself. So the probability of that is 6/8, or 3/4. Then we multiply 3/4 by itself 3 times as it asks. (3/4)*(3/4)*(3/4)*(3/4)=81/256 is the probability.

An object is traveling at a steady speed of 9 4/5 mi/h. ​ How long will it take the object to travel 2 1/5 miles? ​First round to the nearest integer to find the estimated answer. Then find the exact answer.

Answers

Answer:

Time taken by the object = 14 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of an object = \(9\frac{4}{5}\) miles per hour ≈ 9.8 miles per hour

Distance covered by the object = \(2\frac{1}{5}\) miles ≈ 2.2 miles

Formula to calculate the distance in the time 't' is,

Time taken by the object = \(\frac{\text{Distance traveled}}{\text{Speed of the object}}\)

                                          = \(\frac{2.2}{9.8}\)

                                          = 0.2245 hours

                                          = 13.47 minutes

                                          ≈ 14 minutes

Therefore, distance traveled by the object to cover 2.2 miles = 14 minutes.

S4 = 1/64 + 1/256 + 1/576 + 1/1024 = 47/2304 = 0.0204 (approx)

S6 = 1/64 + 1/256 + 1/576 + 1/1024 + 1/1600 + 1/2304 = 317/13824 = 0.0229 (approx)

Here are the general steps to find the critical value:
1. Calculate the degrees of freedom: df = n - 1 = 36 - 1 = 35
2. Divide the alpha (0.05) by 2 for a two-tail test, resulting in 0.025 in each tail.

If a function is differentiable then it is continuous.

Answers

The statement "If a function is differentiable, then it is continuous" is generally true. In summary, if a function is differentiable at a point, it must also be continuous at that point.

Differentiability is a stronger condition than continuity. If a function is differentiable at a point, it means that it has a derivative at that point, indicating the existence of a well-defined tangent line.

A key property of differentiability is that it implies continuity. In other words, if a function is differentiable at a point, it must also be continuous at that point.

On the other hand, a function can be continuous without being differentiable. Continuous functions have no abrupt jumps, holes, or vertical asymptotes in their graphs. However, they may have corners, cusps, or vertical tangents, which prevent them from being differentiable at those points. Therefore, while differentiability guarantees continuity, continuity does not necessarily imply differentiability.
