Brayden and his friends are driving across the US from New York to Los Angeles at a constant speed without stopping. When they have driven for 10 hours, they are 1700 miles away from Los Angeles. When they have driven for 15 hours, they are 1500 miles away from Los Angeles.a) Find a linear function that models the remaining distance, DD, to Los Angeles as a function of the amount of time, t, that Brayden and his friends have been driving.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

d=-40t+2100

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d be the distance between New York to Los Angeles and speed of driving is v miles/hour.

As when they have driven for 10 hours, they are 1700 miles away from Los Angeles, so the distance covered in 10 hours is d-1700 miles.

Similarly, the distance covered in 15 hours is d-1500 miles.

So, the distance covered in 5 hours = (d-1500)-(d-1700) =d-1500-d+1700=200 miles.

As speed = distance/time,

So the speed of driving, v=200/5=40 miles/hour

Let d (in miles) be the remaining distance at any time instant t (in hour) and the linear relation between d and t is

d=at+b ...(i)

where a and b are constants.

When they have driven for 10 hours, they are 1700 miles away from Los Angeles, so putting t=10 and d=1700 in the equation (i), we have

1700=10a+b

b=1700-10a...(ii)

Similarly, when they have driven for 15 hours, they are 1500 miles away from Los Angeles, so

1500=15a+b

1500=15a+1700-10a

1500-1700=5a

-200=5a

a= -200/5

a= -40

From equation (ii), we have

b=1700-10(-40)=1700+400=2100

From equation (i), the required equation is

d=-40t+2100

Hence the required linear function is d=-40t+2100.

(b) Based on the confidence interval in (a), will the bank manager be satisfied if she wishes the average waiting time in her bank to be less than 7 minutes

Answers

Answer:

The 95%  confidence interval is

           [tex] 5.92  <   \mu  <  7.284 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The data is  6.5   6.7    7.2    6.4    7.3

Generally the sample  mean is mathematically represented as

         [tex]\= x = \frac{\sum x }{n}[/tex]

=>      [tex]\= x = \frac{ 5.5 + 6.5 + \cdot 7.3 }{ 6}[/tex]

=>      [tex]\= x = 6.6[/tex]

Generally the standard deviation is mathematically represented as

         [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{ \frac{ \sum (x_i - \= x )^2 }{ n-1} }[/tex]

=>      [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{ \frac{ (5.5 - 6.6 )^2 +(6.5 - 6.6 )^2 + \cdot + (7.3 - 6.6 )^2 }{ 6-1} }[/tex]

=>      [tex]\sigma = 0.6512[/tex]

Gnerally the degree of freedom is mathematically represented as

         [tex]df = n- 1[/tex]

=>       [tex]df = 6 -1[/tex]

=>       [tex]df = 5[/tex]

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      [tex]\alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%[/tex]

=>   [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Generally from the t distribution table the critical value  of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] is  

   [tex]t_{\frac{\alpha }{2} , 5 } = 2.571 [/tex]

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

      [tex]E = t_{\frac{\alpha }{2}, 5  } *  \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

=>    [tex]E =  2.571  *  \frac{0.6512}{\sqrt{6} }[/tex]

=>    [tex]E = 0.6835 [/tex]

Generally 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as  

      [tex]\= x  -E <   \mu  <  \= x  +E[/tex]

=>     [tex]6.6  - 0.6835 <   \mu  <  6.6  +  0.6835[/tex]

=>     [tex] 5.92  <   \mu  <  7.284 [/tex]

Find the equation for parabola
Focus(3,4)
Directrix y=2

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that distance d from the focus to P should be the same to the distance from P to the directrix

(x-h)^2=4p(y-k)

we need to find the y coordinate,

x is the same from focus, 3

y=(3, (4+2)/2)=(3,3)

we find p now by subtracting the y from the focus from the y that we just found

p=4-3=1

again (x-h)^2=4p(y-k), p=1

(x-3)^2=4(1)(y-3)

(x-3)^2=4(y-3),  (x-3)^2=4y-12

simplify

4y=(x-3)^2+12

y=((x-3)^2)/4 + 3

The equation for the parabola would be y = ((x-3)^2)/4 + 3.

How to find the  equation for the parabola?

We already know that distance d from the focus to P must be the same as the distance from P to the directrix

(x-h)^2 = 4p(y-k)

x is the same from focus 3

y = (3, (4+2)/2)

y  =(3,3)

by subtracting the y from the focus from the y that we get

p = 4-3 =1

similalry,

(x-h)^2=4p(y-k), p=1

(x-3)^2=4(1)(y-3)

(x-3)^2=4(y-3),  

(x-3)^2=4y-12

simplify it;

4y=(x-3)^2+12

y = ((x-3)^2)/4 + 3

Thus, the equation for the parabola would be y = ((x-3)^2)/4 + 3.

At ShopRite, chicken sells for $3.75 per pound. How much would it cost to buy 2.25 pounds of chicken?

Answers

Answer: 8.4375 U.S. dollars2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

$8.44

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question it self we know that 1 pound of chicken costs $3.75. In order to solve this question we just need to find out how much 1 pound does fit into 2.25 pounds and then multiple the result by $3.75. We can find that out by dividing 2.25 by 1, and we get 2.25. Then we do the following....

2.25 x $3.75 = $8.4375

We got $8.4375 as an answer but we have to remember that when we are talking about money and we have to round to the nearest cent (which is equal to 1 hundredth of a dollar). So now we just have to round to the nearest hundredth, and we get $8.44 as our answer.

x=0.68 - Repeated (This tells us that it was paid 68% of the OG price.)

1 - 0.68 = 0.32 (We need to subtract the percent  paid from the OG price to find the percent discount.)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 6x = -10 - 50

-3x = -60

x = -60/-3

x = 20

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertically opposite angles are congruent.

6x - 10 = 3x + 50

       6x = 3x + 50 + 10

       6x = 3x + 60

6x - 3x = 60

        3x = 60

          x = 60/3

Solve y=3x-4 and y=2/5x+ 9

(5 , 11)

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]Equation\ 1\\\\\y=3x-4\\\\Equation\ 2\\\\\y=\frac{2}{5}x+9[/tex]

There are three ways to solve the systems of linear equations

1) Elimination method - where we add/subtract the equations to eliminate the variable

2) Substitution method - where we substitute one variable in the form of another variable

3) Graphing method - where we sketch the graphs of both the equations and if they intersect that point would be the solution and if they don't there is no solution

We use the second method the Substitution method which is the easiest in my opinion.

Here we got two equations so lets just substitute equation 1 with equation 2 meaning insert equation 1 into equation 2 like here:

[tex]3x-4=\frac{2}{5}x+9[/tex]

as you can see here we eliminated the variable y by substituting y in terms of x.

Now we just solve the equation algebraically

[tex]3x-4=\frac{2}{5}x+9\\3x-\frac{2}{5}x=9+4\\\frac{15x-2x}{5} =13\\\\\frac{13x}{5}=13\\\\13x=65\\x=65/13\\x=5\\[/tex]

The value of x is 5 now to find the value of y we insert the value of x in any two equations lets insert the value of x into equation 1

[tex]y=3x-4\\y=3(5)-4\\y=15-4\\y=11[/tex]

so the solution of the system of linear equations is (5 , 11)
