Trivikram jogs from one end of corniche to its other end on a straight 300 m road in 2 minutes 50 seconds and then turns around and jogs 100 m back on same track in another 1 minute. What is his average speed and velocity?
Answer:
1.76m/s ; 1.76m/s ; 1.74m/s, 0.86m/s
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Distance jogged in first direction (A to B) = 300m
Time taken = 2 minutes 50s = (2*60) + 50 = 120 + 50 = 170s
Distance jogged in opposite direction (B to C) = 100m
Time taken = 1minute = 60s
Recall:
Speed = distance / time
Therefore Average speed from A to B
Average speed = 300m/ 170s = 1.764 = 1.76m/s
Average Velocity = Displacement / time
Displacement = 300m ; time = 170s
= 300m / 170s = 1.76m/s
Average speed (A to C)
Therefore, average speed = total distance / total time taken
Total distance = (300 + 100)m = 400m
Total time taken = (170 + 60)s = 230s
Average speed = 400m / 230s
= 1.739m/s = 1.74m/s
Average velocity:
Displacement = distance between initials position and final position.
Initial distance covered = 300m. Then 100m was jogged in the opposite direction.
Distance between starting and ending positions, becomes : (300 - 100)m = 200m
200 / 230 = 0.87m/s

Three geometric sequences are given below.
Sequence A: 160, 40, 10, 2.5,
Sequence B: -21, 63, -189, 567, ...
Sequence C: 8, 12, 18, 27,
Order the sequences from least common ratio to greatest common ratio.
Sequence A
Sequence C
Sequence B
Answer:
Sequence B, Sequence A, Sequence C
Step-by-step explanation:
Data obtained from the question include the following:
Sequence A: 160, 40, 10, 2.5,
Sequence B: -21, 63, -189, 567, ...
Sequence C: 8, 12, 18, 27
Next, we shall determine the common ratio of each sequence. This is illustrated below:
Common ratio (r) is simply obtained by dividing the 2nd term (T2) by the 1st term (T1) or by dividing the 3rd term (T3) by the 2nd term (T2). Mathematically, it is expressed as:
r = T2/T1 = T3/T2
For sequence A:
160, 40, 10, 2.5
2nd term (T2) = 40
Ist term (T1) = 160
Common ratio (r) =..?
r = T2/T1
r = 40/160
r = 1/4
r = 0.25
Therefore, the common ratio is 0.25.
For sequence B:
-21, 63, -189, 567
2nd term (T2) = 63
Ist term (T1) = -21
Common ratio (r) =..?
r = T2/T1
r = 63/-21
r = - 3
Therefore, the common ratio is - 3.
For Sequence C:
8, 12, 18, 27
2nd term (T2) = 12
Ist term (T1) = 8
Common ratio (r) =..?
r = T2/T1
r = 12/8
r = 3/2
r = 1.5
Therefore, the common ratio is 1.5.
Summary:
Sequence >>>>> Common ratio
A >>>>>>>>>>>>> 0.25
B >>>>>>>>>>>>> - 3
C >>>>>>>>>>>>> 1.5
From the above illustration,
Ordering the sequence from least to greatest common ratio, we have:
Sequence B, Sequence A, Sequence C.
PLEASE HELP ME! Please do not comment nonsense, and actually comment the answer and the solution.
=================================================
Explanation:
For choice C, the x values are out of order, so it might be tricky at first. I recommend sorting the x values from smallest to largest to get -2, -1, 0, 1, 2. Do the same for the y values as well. Make sure the correct y values stay with their x value pairs. You should get the list of y values to be 4, 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4
Check out the attached image below for the sorted table I'm referring to
We can see the list of y values is going down as x increases. This is a good sign we have decay. Further proof is that we multiply each term by 1/2 to get the next one
4 times 1/2 = 2
2 times 1/2 = 1
1 times 1/2 = 1/2
1/2 times 1/2 = 1/4
and so on. Effectively we can say the decay rate is 50%
Shrina is selling cookie dough for her soccer team. She sold 2 tubs of
Oatmeal Raisin and 2 tulbs of Peanut Butter.
How much money did she make?
Oatmeal Raisin
$6 a tub
$22
$24
Peanut Butter
$5 a tub
$20
$11
Answer: 22
Step-by-step explanation:
She sold two tubs of Oatmeal Raisins and it's 6 dollars a tub so we can do 6*2 or 6+6 (doesn't matter). We get $12. Then, she also sells 2 tubs of Peanut Butter, and since it's $5 a tub, then we do 5*2 or 5+5 to get 10. We add 12 and 10 (12+10) and get 22.
I'm not sure if this is right because you added $22, $24, $20, and $11 and I'm not sure what the purposes of those are.

Answer:
432 aquariums
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the number of aquariums the factory made, find the volume of 1 aquarium, then divide the total volume of water required.
Solution:
Volume of triangular prism aquarium = triangular base area × length of triangular prism
Volume = ½*b*h*l
Where,
b = 8 ft
h = 4 ft
l = 3 ft
Volume = ½*8*4*3 = 4*4*3
Volume = 48 ft³
Number of aquarium made = Volume of water required ÷ volume of 1 aquarium
= 20,736 ÷ 48 = 432 aquariums

Option A is the right option.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's find the area of large rectangle:
[tex] \mathsf{(3x + 6)(2x + 4)}[/tex]
Multiply each term in the first parentheses by each term in the second parentheses
[tex] \mathsf{ = 3x(2x + 4) + 6(2x + 4)}[/tex]
Calculate the product
[tex] \mathsf{ = 6 {x}^{2} + 12x + 12x + 6 \times 4}[/tex]
Multiply the numbers
[tex] \mathsf{ = 6 {x}^{2} + 12x + 12x + 24}[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex] \mathsf{ = {6x}^{2} + 24x + 24}[/tex]
Let's find the area of small rectangle
[tex] \mathsf{(x - 3)(x - 1)}[/tex]
Multiply each term in the first parentheses by each term in the second parentheses
[tex] \mathsf{ = x( x - 1) - 3(x - 1)}[/tex]
Calculate the product
[tex] \mathsf{ = {x}^{2} - x - 3x - 3 \times ( - 1)}[/tex]
Multiply the numbers
[tex] \mathsf{ = {x}^{2} - x - 3x + 3}[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex] \mathsf{ = {x}^{2} - 4x + 3}[/tex]
Now, let's find the area of shaded region:

Factorize a² +3ab - 5ab - 15b².
Answer:
[tex]a^2+3\,a\,b-5\,a\,b-15\,b^2=(a-5\,b)\,(a+3\,b)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Work via factoring by groups:
!) re arrange the terms as follows:
[tex]a^2-5ab+3ab-15b^2[/tex]
then extract the common factor for the first two terms (a), and separately the common factors for the last two terms (3 b):
[tex]a^2-5ab+3ab-15b^2\\a\,(a-5\,b)+3\,b\,(a-5\,b)[/tex]
Now notice that the binomial factor (a-5 b) is in both expressions, so extract it:
[tex]a\,(a-5\,b)+3\,b\,(a-5\,b)\\(a-5\,b)\,(a+3\,b)[/tex]
which is the final factorization.
Answer:
[tex] \boxed{\sf (a + 3b)(a - 5b)} [/tex]

32x - 12.8 simplify plz
Answer:
Length = 8x - 3.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter = 4(Length) [Since it's a square so all the sides are equal]
Given that Perimeter = 32x - 12.8
32x - 12.8 = 4(Length)
Dividing both sides by 4
=> Length = [tex]\frac{4(8x-3.2)}{4}[/tex]
=> Length = 8x - 3.2
Now, Three equivalent expressions to find the perimeter
=> Perimeter = 32x - 12.8
=> Perimeter = 4(8x - 3.2) [Perimeter = 4 (Length)]
=> Perimeter = 2(16x - 6.4)
Answer:
[tex]\boxed{8x-3.2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is 32x - 12.8 of a square.
Use formula for perimeter of a square.
[tex]P=4a[/tex]
[tex]P=perimeter\\a=side \: length[/tex]
[tex]32x - 12.8=4a[/tex]
Solve for side length.
[tex]\frac{32x - 12.8}{4} =a[/tex]
[tex]8x-3.2=a[/tex]
Three equivalent expressions for perimeter:
32x - 12.8
⇒ 8(4x - 1.6)
⇒ 4(8x - 3.2)
⇒ 2(16x - 6.4)

For what values of the following expressions are true: |a−5|=5−a
Answer:
Whenever a-5<0 or a<5
Step-by-step explanation:
So if you have an absolute value, that turns into two equations. The one we care about is -(a-5)=5-a. After distributing the negative through the left side of the equation, you'll get that 5-a=5-a, which is an identity. But you can only say that abs(a-5)=5-a when a-5<0. To see a visual representation of this, graph both sides of the equation in desmos.

Given the sequence 38, 32, 26, 20, 14, ..., find the explicit formula.
Answer:
The explicit formula for the sequence is
44 - 6nStep-by-step explanation:
The above sequence is an arithmetic sequence
For an nth term in an arithmetic sequence
A(n) = a + ( n - 1)d
where a is the first term
n is the number of terms
d is the common difference
From the question
a = 38
d = 32 - 38 = - 6 or 20 - 26 = - 6 or
14 - 20 = - 6
So the formula for the sequence is
A(n) = 38 + ( n - 1)-6
= 38 - 6n + 6
We have the final answer as
A(n) = 44 - 6nHope this helps you

He learned an average of 130130130 new words per month when he lived in Portugal and an average of 150 new words per month when he lived in Brazil. In total, he learned 1920 new words. How long did Wolfrich live in Portugal, and how long did he live in Brazil
Answer:
Wolfrich lived in Brazil for 5 months and 9 months in Portugal
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
Total Months = 14
Total Words = 1920
Required
Find the time spent in Portugal and time spent in Brazil
Let P represent Portugal and B represent Brazil; This implies that
[tex]P + B = 14[/tex] ---- Equation 1
Considering that he learnt 130 words per month in Portugal and 150 per month in Brazil; This implies that
[tex]130P + 150B = 1920[/tex] --- Equation 2
Make P the subject of formula in equation 1
[tex]P = 14 - B[/tex]
Substitute 14 - B for P in equation 2
[tex]130(14 - B) + 150B = 1920[/tex]
Open Bracket
[tex]1820 - 130B + 150B = 1920[/tex]
[tex]1820 + 20B = 1920[/tex]
Subtract 1820 from both sides
[tex]1820 - 1820 + 20B = 1920 - 1820[/tex]
[tex]20B = 100[/tex]
Divide both sides by 20
[tex]\frac{20B}{20} = \frac{100}{20}[/tex]
[tex]B = 5[/tex]
Substitute 5 for B in [tex]P = 14 - B[/tex]
[tex]P = 14 - 5[/tex]
[tex]P = 9[/tex]

fundraiser Customers can buy annle nies and
Answer: C) Plane: 235 km/h, Wind: 24 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Average Speed while flying with a tailwind = 259km/hr
Return trip = 211km/hr
Let the speed of airplane = a, and wind speed = w
Therefore ;
Average Speed while flying with a tailwind = 259km/hr
a + w = 259 - - - (1)
Return trip = 211km/hr
a - w = 211 - - - (2)
From (2)
a = 211 + w
Substitute the value of a into (1)
a + w = 259
211 + w + w = 259
211 + 2w = 259
2w = 259 - 211
2w = 48
w = 48/2
w = 24km = windspeed
Substituting w = 24 into (2)
a - 24 = 211
a = 211 + 24
a = 235km = speed of airplane

Find the slope and y-intercept of the following graph.
Answer: y = -5*x + b
Step-by-step explanation:
A line is written as:
y = a*x + b
where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
IIf we have a line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) then the slope of the line is:
a = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
In this case we can see that the line passes through the points:
(0, 2) and (1, - 3)
Then the slope is:
a = (-3 - 2)/(1 - 0) = -5
Then our line is:
y = -5*x + b
And when x = 0, y = 2 then:
y = 2 = -5*0 + b
2 = b
Our line is:
y = -5*x + b

Wesimann Co. Issued 13-year bonds a year ago at a coupon rate of 7.3 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments and have a par value of $1,000. If the YTM on these bonds is 5.6 percent, what is the current bond price?
Answer:
Current Bond price = $1155.5116
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
Face value; F = $1,000
Coupon payment;C = (7.3% x 1,000)/2 = 36.5 (divided by 2 because of semi annual payments)
Yield to maturity(YTM); r = 5.6%/2 = 2.8% = 0.028 (divided by 2 because of semi annual payments)
Time period;n = 13 x 2 = 26 years (multiplied by 2 because of semi annual payments)
Formula for bond price is;
Bond price = [C × [((1 + r)ⁿ - 1)/(r(r + 1)ⁿ)] + [F/(1 + r)ⁿ]
Plugging in the relevant values, we have;
Bond price = [36.5 × [((1 + 0.028)^(26) - 1)/(0.028(0.028 + 1)^(26))] + [1000/(1 + 0.028)^(26)]
Bond price = (36.5 × 18.2954) + (487.7295)
Bond price = $1155.5116
A una granja llegaron 54 ovejas 24 vacas 30 cerdos los cuales se quieren repartir en corrales con igual numero de animales de forma que haya la mayor cantidad posible en cada corral ¿cuantos animales posibles deben ir en cada uno de los corrales?
Answer: 6 animals should go in each pen.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total sheep = 54
Total cows = 24
Total pigs = 30
Highest number of animals are possible in each pen such that animals are distributed in pens with the same number = Greatest common divisior (54,24, 30)
54= 6 x 9
24= 6 x 4
30 = 6 x 5
So, Greatest common divisior (54,24, 30) = 6
Hence, 6 animals should go in each pen.

Step-by-step explanation:
Hello,
For any function f which has an inverse function we can write
[tex]x=(f^{-1}of)(x)=(fof^{-1})(x)=f(f^{-1}(x))[/tex]
This is why, in practice, to find the inverse of f we will consider f(x) = y and we will look for x as a function of y, so we switch x and y and solve for y. Let's do it.
Step 1 - The function f(x) can be written as a variable. [tex]\boxed{y}=f(x)[/tex]
f(x) = y = 5x + 2
Step 2 - switch the variables x <-> y
x = 5y + 2
subtract 2 to both parts of the equation
<=> x - 2 = 5y + 2 - 2 = 5y
divide by 5 both parts of the equation
[tex]<=> y=\dfrac{x-2}{5}[/tex]
It means that the inverse of f is as below.
[tex]\boxed{ \ f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{x-2}{5}\ }[/tex]
Step 3 - Find the inverse of g(x)
We already found that the inverse of f is g, so the inverse of g is f.
Let's do it again.
[tex]g(x)=y=\dfrac{x-2}{5} \ \ \text{ switch x and y } \\ \\ x= \dfrac{y-2}{5} \ \ \text{ solve for y }\\ \\ y-2=5x \ \ \text{ mulitply by 5 both parts of the equation } \\ \\ y = 5x+2 \ \ \text{ add 2 to both parts of the equation }[/tex]
And we found what we already known, meaning f is the inverse of g.
[tex](gof)(x)=(fog)(x)=x[/tex]
Hope this helps.

Answers and Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
We want to find the variable that ff(x) represents. Well, we know it can't be x because we already have x on the other side of the equation: ff(x) = 5x + 2.
So, ff(x) must equal y.
Since ff(x) = y, we know then that ff(x) = y = 5x + 2. And our equation is:
y = 5x + 2
Step 2:
Let's switch the variables now. This means that what used to be y will be x and what used to be x will be y:
y = 5x + 2 ⇒ x = 5y + 2
Subtract 2 from both sides:
5y = x - 2
Divide by 5 from both sides:
y = (x - 2)/5
Step 3:
Let's find the inverse of g(x) by doing the exact same thing as we did with ff(x):
g(x) = y = (x - 2)/5
Switch the variables:
y = (x - 2)/5 ⇒ x = (y - 2)/5
Multiply by 5 on both sides:
5x = y - 2
Add 2 to both sides:
y = 5x + 2
Notice that this is the exact same as ff(x)! This means that ff(x) and g(x) are inverses.
