Adam reads 1/8 of a book in 1/6 of an hour. How much time does it take for him to read the whole book?

Answers

Answer 1

Let the time taken to read the whole be y

If he reads 1/8 of the whole book (x), it can be expressed as,

[tex]\frac{1}{8}\text{ of x =}\frac{1}{8}\times x=\frac{x}{8}[/tex]

If it takes Adam to read x/8 of a book in 1/6 hours,

To read the whole book, it will take Adam,

[tex]\begin{gathered} Adam\text{ read }\frac{x}{8}\text{ in }\frac{1}{6} \\ To\text{ read the whole book (x) in y time} \\ y\times\frac{x}{8}=x\times\frac{1}{6} \\ \frac{xy}{8}-\frac{x}{6} \\ \text{Crossmultiply} \\ 6\times xy=8x \\ \text{Divide both sides by }6x \\ \frac{6xy}{6x}=\frac{8x}{6x} \\ y=\frac{4}{3}=1\frac{1}{3}hours \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, it will take 1 1/3 hours for Adam to read the whole book.

Whitney,Andrew,and Lena all have summer jobs.Whitney earns 312 in 26 hours of work.Andrew earns 451 in 41 hours of work.Lena earns 10 per hour.Who earns the most money per hour

Answers

According to the given data we have the following:

Whitney earns 312 in 26 hours of work

Andrew earns 451 in 41 hours of work

Lena earns 10 per hour

In order to calculate who earns the most money per hour we would have to calculate the rate of money per hour of Whitney and Andrew and the compare it with Lena.

So, money per hour of whtiney=312/26

money per hour of whtiney=12 per hour

money per hour of Andrew=451/41

money per hour of Andrew=11 per hour

Therefore, Whitney is the person that earns most money per hour.

Find θ to four significant digits for 0 < θ< 2 pi if cos θ= 0.6725

Answers

First, we need to solve for θ:

[tex]\cos\theta=0.6725[/tex][tex]\theta=\cos^{-1}(0.6725)[/tex][tex]\theta=0.8332147[/tex]

But, since the cosine is a function that takes the same values every 3π/2, if we add this to the solution:

[tex]\theta_2=0.8332147+\frac{3\pi}{2}\approx5.5456[/tex]

Thus, the two solutions are:

[tex]\theta=0.8332,5.5456[/tex]

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the segment AB, which has endpoints A(-8.1, 4.9) and B(-7.6, 2.9)? Express your answer as a common fraction.

Answers

Answer:

The slope of the line perpendicular to the segment AB is 1/4

Explanation:

The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.

Given the endpoints A(-8.1, 4.9) and B(-7.6, 2.9), the slope of this line is as follows:

(2.9 - 4.9)/[-7.6 - (-8.1)]

= (2.9 - 4.9)/(-7.6 + 8.1)

= -2/0.5

= -4

The negative reciprocal of -4 is 1/4

Therefore, the slope of the line perpendicular to the segment AB is 1/4

A plane leaves the ground with an elevation angle of 6 degrees. The plane travels 10 miles horizontally.How high is the plane at the time?What's the distance of the plane's path?

Answers

Answer

The height of the plane at that time is 1.1 miles

The distance of the plane's path is 10.1 miles

Explanation

The situation models a right angle triangle as shown below

Using trigonometric ratio,

tan 6° = opposite / adjacent

The opposite side of the triangle is the height of the plane. The distance traveled horizontally is the adjacent side. Therefore,

[tex]\begin{gathered} \tan 6^{^0}=\frac{a}{10} \\ 0.1051=\frac{a}{10} \\ \text{Cross multiply} \\ a=10\times0.1051 \\ a=1.051 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The height of the plane at that time ≈ 1.1 miles

The hypotenuse of the triangle formed is the distance of the plane path.

Therefore, this distance can be calculated using Pythagoras rule as follows:

[tex]\begin{gathered} c^2=a^2+b^2 \\ a=1.051\text{ miles} \\ b=10\text{ miles} \\ \Rightarrow c^2=1.051^2+10^2 \\ c^2=1.104601+100 \\ c^2=101.104601 \\ c=\sqrt[]{101.104601} \\ c=10.05507837\text{ miles} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The distance of the plane's path = 10.1 miles

how to prove that the difference between squares of consecutive even numbers is always a multiple of 4

Answers

Let x be an even integer then x+2 is the next consecutive even integer.

We need to look at [tex](x+2)^2 - x^2[/tex], since that's the difference between the squares of any two consecutive even integers.

[tex](x+2)^2 - x^2 = x^2 + 4x + 4 - x^2[/tex]

                     [tex]=4x+4[/tex]

                     [tex]=4(x+1)[/tex]

Since that difference is 4 times something, it is a multiple of 4.

a) Consider the experiment of picking 3 tax returns at random as 3 related experiments (due to the fact that it is without replacement); then, as for the first time one selects a tax return,

[tex]P_1(NonError)=\frac{61}{61+9}=\frac{61}{70}[/tex]

As for the second time we grab a tax return, there are 69 tax returns in total and 9 of them contain errors; thus,

[tex]P_2(NonError)=\frac{60}{69}[/tex]

Similarly, as for the third picking round,

[tex]P_3(NonError)=\frac{59}{68}[/tex]

Finally, the probability of experiment a) is

[tex]\begin{gathered} P_1(NonError)*P_2(NonError)*P_3(NonError)=\frac{61*60*59}{70*69*68}=0.657471...\approx65.7\% \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

Rounded to one decimal place, the probability of event a) is 65.7%

b) Similarly, in the event of all three tax returns containing errors,

[tex]\begin{gathered} P_1(Error)=P_1(E)=\frac{9}{70} \\ P_2(E)=\frac{8}{69} \\ P_3(E)=\frac{7}{68} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus,

[tex]\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow P(b)=P_1(E)*P_2(E)*P_3(E)=0.00153... \\ \Rightarrow P(b)\approx0.2\% \end{gathered}[/tex]

The probability of event b) is 0.2%. It is quite unusual.

c) The condition 'at least one of those containing errors' includes the cases when 1, 2, or 3 tax returns of the ones selected have errors. Notice that

[tex]1=P(0Errors)+P(1Errors)+P(2Errors)+P(3Errors)[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]P(1o2o3Errors)=P(1E)+P(2E)+P(3E)=1-P(0Errors)[/tex]

And we found the probability of picking 3 tax returns without any errors in part a); thus,

[tex]P(c)=1-0.657471...=0.342528...\approx34.3\%[/tex]

The probability of event c) is 34.3%.

d) Analogously to part c), the probability of selecting at least one without errors is

[tex]P(d)=1-P(0NonErrors)=1-P(3Errors)=1-P(b)=0.998465...\approx99.8\%[/tex]

Answers

Monthly revenue:

[tex]R(x)=12x-0.01x^2[/tex]

As the monthly revenue is given by a quadratic equation, the number of units that must be sold each month maximize the revenue and the maximum revenue are the coordinates of the vertex for the parabola that correspond to the given function.

x is the number of units

y is the maximum revenue

To find the x coordinate of the vertex, use the next formula:

[tex]\begin{gathered} f(x)=ax^2+bx+c \\ \\ x=-\frac{b}{2a} \\ \\ \\ x=-\frac{12}{2(-0.01)}=-\frac{12}{-0.02}=600 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Problem

Melissa has reached her credit card limit of $ 6,500. Since Melissa has poor credit history, the annual interest rate on her credit card is 19%. Using an online calculator, Melissa determined that if she pays $ 220 per month and does not make any additional purchases with her credit card, it will take her 41 months to pay off the credit card. Which of the follow represents the total interest Melissa will pay when her credit card is paid off?

Solution

For this case we can start the amount of money paid by Mellissa with this operation:

220$/month *41 months = $9020

And since the credit card limit is $6500 we can calculate the interest paid with this difference:

$9020- $ 6500=$2520

And the best answer for this case would be $2520

It is an equation of degree one, with variables x and y. The values of x and y represent the coordinates of the point on the line represented in the coordinate plane

The given points are (-8, 0) and (1,5)

We find the slope first,

Slope(m) = [tex]\frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1} }[/tex]

Where [tex]y_{1}[/tex] = 0, [tex]x_{1}[/tex] = -8 and [tex]y_{2}[/tex] = 5 and [tex]x_{2}[/tex] = 1

slope(m) = [tex]\frac{5 - 0}{1 - - 8}[/tex]

slope = 5/9

But equation o line is y = mx + c

To find c, take values of x = -8 and y = 0

so that the equation y = mx + c  becomes

0 = 5/9(-8) + c

c = 40/9

substitute for the values of m and c into y = mx + c

y = 5/9x + 40/9

Multiply through by 9, we have
