A man travelled 3/8 of his journey by a rail 1/4 by a taxi 1/8 by and the remaining 2km on foot what is the length of his total journey?

Answers

Answer 1
The man travelled in different ways: by rail, by taxi, by ___ and by foot. I placed a blank there because there seems to be a missing word in the given problem above. For sample purposes, let's just assume that is travel by bus.

Since all of these travels are equal to 1 whole journey, you can express each travel as a fraction. When you add them up, the answer would be 1. So,

3/8 + 1/4 + 1/8 + x = 1

The variable x here denotes the fraction of his travel by foot. We are only given the exact distance travelled on foot which is 2 km. We have to find the fraction of the travel by foot to determine the length of the total distance travelled. Solving for x,

x = 1 - 3/8 - 1/4 - 1/8
x = 1/4

That means that the travel by foot comprises 1/4 of the whole journey. Thus,

Let total distance be D.

1.4*D = 2 km
D = 8 km

Therefore, the man travelled a total of 8 kilometers.

Find the first six terms of the sequence.

a1 = -1, an = 2 • an-1

Answers

The prompt says that the value at n is equal to 2 times the previous value.
-1, -2, -4, -8, -16, -32

Answer:

The first six terms of the sequence are: -1, -2, -4, -8, -16 and -32

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence is:

[tex]a_1=-1\\a_n=2*a_{n-1}[/tex]

So, for finding the first six terms of the sequence, we need to replace n by the numbers 1 to 6 and we get:

[tex]a_1=-1\\a_2=2*a_{2-1} =2*a_1\\a_3=2*a_{3-1} =2*a_2\\a_4=2*a_{4-1} =2*a_3\\a_5=2*a_{5-1} =2*a_4\\a_6=2*a_{6-1} =2*a_5\\[/tex]

That means that the term n is 2 times the last term. Then, replacing the values of [tex]a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4[/tex] and [tex]a_5[/tex], we get:

[tex]a_1=-1\\a_2=2*(-1)=-2\\a_3=2*(-2)=-4\\a_4=2*(-4)=-8\\a_5=2*(-8)=-16\\a_6=2*(-16)=-32\\[/tex]

So, The first six terms of the sequence are: -1, -2, -4, -8, -16 and -32

The equation in standard form is 2x^2 + 7x - 15=0. Factoring it gives you (2x-3)(x+5)= 0. That's the first one.  The second one requires you to now your formula for the axis of symmetry which is x = -b/2a with a and b coming from your quadratic.  Your a is -1 and your b is -2, so your axis of symmetry is
x= -(-2)/2(-1) which is x = 2/-2 which is x = -1.  That -1 is the x coordinate of the vertex.  You could plug that back into the equation and solve it for y, which is the easier way, or you could complete the square on the quadratic...let's plug in x to find y.  -(-1)^2 - 2(-1)-1 = 0.  So the vertex is (-1, 0).  That's the first choice given.  For the last one, since it is a negative quadratic it will be a mountain instead of a cup, meaning it doesn't open upwards, it opens downwards.  Those quadratics will ALWAYS have a max value as opposed to a min value which occurs with an upwards opening parabola.  This one is also the first choice because of the way the equation is written.  There is no side to side movement (the lack of parenthesis tells us that) so the x coordinate for the vertex is 0.  The -1 tells us that it has moved down from the origin 1 unit; hence the y coordinate is -1.  The vertex is a max at (0, -1)

Solve by factoring c^2=5c

Answers

Hey there!

c² = 5c

Subtract 5c from both sides:

c² - 5c  = 5c - 5c

Simplify :

c² - 5c = 0

c = 5 , c = 0


The solutions to the equation c² = 5c are c = 0 and c = 5.

We have,

To solve the equation c² = 5c by factoring,

we can rearrange it as:

c² - 5c = 0

Then we can factor out the common factor of c, giving:

c(c - 5) = 0

Now we can apply the zero product property, which states that if the product of two factors is equal to zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero.

So we have:

c = 0 or c - 5 = 0

Solving for c in each case, we get:

c = 0 or c = 5

Therefore,

The solutions to the equation c² = 5c are c = 0 and c = 5.

How many ounces of a 35% alcohol solution must be mixed with 10ounces of 40% alcohol solution to make a 37% alcohol solution?

Answers

first off, let's change the format of the percentage to decimal.. so 35% is just 35/100 or 0.35 and 40% is 40/100 or 0.4 and so on.

[tex]\bf \begin{array}{lccclll} &amount&concentration& \begin{array}{llll} concentrated\\ amount \end{array}\\ &-----&-------&-------\\ \textit{35\% sol'n}&x&0.35&0.35x\\ \textit{40\% sol'n}&10&0.40&4.00\\ -----&-----&-------&-------\\ mixture&y&0.37&0.37y \end{array}[/tex]

now, whatever "x" amount is, we know that x + 10 must add up to "y". x + 10 =  y, because both quantities added will give the mixture amount.

and whatever 0.35x + 4 = 0.37y, because both concentrated amounts must give the 37% of the mixture.

[tex]\bf \begin{cases} x+10=\boxed{y}\\ 0.35x+4=0.37y\\ ----------\\ 0.35x+4=0.37\left( \boxed{x+10} \right) \end{cases}[/tex]

solve for "x", to see how much of the 35% solution will be needed.

what about "y"? well, x + 10 = y.

d. g(x) = (x − 3)2

Answers

The answer is D because the numbers in the parenthesis determine where the x value is.

Answer:  Option 'd' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

[tex]f(x) = x^2[/tex]

We need to shift the function f(x) 3 units to the right to obtain the graph of g(x).

As we  know that shifting right is the horizontal shift.

And f(x-h) = g(x) , here f shift right h units.

so, After shifting 3 units right, we get that

[tex]g(x)=(x-3)^2[/tex]

Hence, Option 'd' is correct.

Pleaseee help. The longer base of an isosceles trapezoid measures 23 ft. The nonparallel sides measure 9ft, and the base angle measure 80 degrees. Find the length of a diagonal.

Answers

We can start with an altitude of a trapezoid:
h = 9 * sin 80° = 9 * 0.9848 = 8.86 ft.
Then look at the right triangle, where a hypotenuse is 9 and one leg is 8.86. Another leg is x.
x² = 9²- 8.86²
x² = 81 - 78.4996
x = √ 2.5004
x = 1.58
23 - 1.58 = 21.42
Finally the diagonal:
d² = 21.42² + 8.86² = 458.8 + 78.4996 = 537.3
d = √537.3 = 23.18 ≈ 23 ft

Answer:

Option C is correct.

The missing steps in this proof is; [tex]\angle 1 \cong \angle 4[/tex] and [tex]\angle 3 \cong \angle 5[/tex].

Explanation:         

Given ΔABC.

Prove that:  The sum of the interior angle measures of ΔABC is [tex]180^{\circ}[/tex]

Let A ,B and C forms a triangle    [Given]

Parallel lines are those two lines that are always the same distance apart and never touch.

then, by the definition of parallel lines and labeling angles

DE be the line passing through B, parallel to AC, with angles as labelled in the figure as shown below in the attachment.

Alternative Interior Angle theorem states that the angles that are formed on opposite sides of the transversal and inside the two lines are alternate interior angles also this theorem says that when the lines are parallel, then the alternate interior angles are equal.

Then,

[tex]\angle 1 \cong \angle 4[/tex] and                              

[tex]\angle 3 \cong \angle 5[/tex]        [By Alternative Interior angle theorem]            

Angles are always congruent if their measures in degrees are equal.

therefore,

[tex]m\angle 1 =m\angle 4[/tex] and

[tex]m\angle 3=m\angle 5[/tex]      [By Congruent Angle have equal measure]                                                                   ......[1]

Straight Angles states that angles on one side of a straight line always add to 180 degrees.

From the given figure;

By the addition angle and definition of straight angle we get;

[tex]m\angle 4 +m\angle 2 +m\angle 5 =180^{\circ}[/tex]      ......[2]

Substituting equation [1] in [2] we get;

[tex]m\angle 1 +m\angle 2 +m\angle 3 =180^{\circ}[/tex]  

Therefore, the sum of the interior angles measures of triangle ABC is [tex]180^{\circ}[/tex]

How to solve math problems with rules of exponents?

Answers

you have to multiply that number by the number of the exponent

for example: 3^2 the answer would be 9 because it has to be 3 times 3

another example is 6^3 it would be 6 times 6 times 6 and that would be 216

Final answer:

When solving math problems with rules of exponents, it is important to understand key concepts such as multiplication of exponentials, taking square roots of exponentials, and dividing exponentials.

Explanation:

When solving math problems with rules of exponents, there are several key concepts to keep in mind:

Multiplication of Exponentials: Multiply the digit terms in the usual way and add the exponents of the exponential terms.Taking Square Roots of Exponentials: If necessary, decrease or increase the exponential term so that the power of 10 is evenly divisible by 2. Extract the square root of the digit term and divide the exponential term by 2.Dividing Exponentials: Divide the numbers out front and subtract the exponents.

It is important to understand these rules and practice applying them to various problems in order to master solving math problems with rules of exponents.

If two opposite sides of a quadrilateral are parallel and congruent then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram true or false

Answers

The correct answer would be True
The answer is yes. Shapes with parallel sides means that both lines are of equal distance within each other. This means that if you extend the lines up to an infinite value, the two lines never intersect. Shapes with congruent sides, however, means that both lines have the same measure or value. When we connect the end points of the lines, we can picture out the shape of this quadrilateral to be a square, rectangle, rhombus, or any regular quadrilateral for that matter.

In the diagram, which two points are shown to be collinear?

Answers

In the given diagram, the points that are shown to be collinear are H and E.

Collinearity in geometry refers to the condition where three or more points lie on the same straight line. In this case, points H and E are collinear as they lie on the same straight line, which is represented by a vertical double-headed arrow passing through them.

The diagram consists of two parallelograms, labeled 'I M' and 'E P', with three points inside each. In the parallelogram 'I M', the points are labeled as I, H, and J from top to bottom. Similarly, in the parallelogram 'E P', the points are labeled as F, E, and G from top to bottom. Among these points, only H and E share the same straight line, making them collinear. The other points do not share this line and hence are not collinear with H and E. This concept is fundamental in understanding geometric relationships and properties.

What is the difference between rational functions and inverse variation

Answers

Final answer:

Rational functions are functions that can be written as the ratio of two polynomial functions, while inverse variations are a type of rational function where the product of two varying quantities is a constant.

Explanation:

A rational function is any function that can be written as the ratio of two polynomial functions. Both the numerator and the denominator are polynomials. For example, f(x) = (2x^2 + 3)/(x - 5) is a rational function where 2x^2 + 3 and x - 5 are polynomial functions.

On the other hand, an inverse variation, or inverse proportion, is a specific type of rational function where the product of two varying quantities is a constant. It is in the form of y = k/x, where k is a nonzero constant. For example, if y varies inversely as x, then the product of x and y is constant, which means xy = k.

To summarize, all inverse variations are rational functions since they can be expressed as a ratio of two polynomials. However, not all rational functions are inverse variations since not all can be written in the form y = k/x.
