Calculator Reference A mountaineer climbed 1,000 feet at a rate of x feet per hour. He climbed an additional 5,000 feet at a different rate. This rate was 10 feet per hour less than twice the first rate. Which expression represents the number of hours the mountaineer climbed?

Answers

so he climbed the first 1000ft in 1000/x hours then

the rate of the 5000ft is "10 feet per hour less than twice the first rate", so hmm twice the first rate is 2x, 10 less than that is 2x - 10.

so, the 5000ft were climbed in 5000/(2x-10)

the number of hours it lasted climbing? well, simply add them up.

Answer: The expression that represents the number of hours the mountaineer climbed is given by

[tex]\dfrac{1000}{x}+\dfrac{2500}{x-5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Distance covered by mountaineer = 1000 feet

Speed at which he climbed = x feet per hour

Time taken by him would be

[tex]\dfrac{1000}{x}[/tex]

Additional distance covered by him = 5000 feet

Speed at which he climbed this time = 2x-10

So, Time taken is given by

[tex]\dfrac{5000}{2x-10}\\\\\\=\dfrac{5000}{2(x-5)}\\\\\\=\dfrac{2500}{x-5}[/tex]

Hence, the expression that represents the number of hours the mountaineer climbed is given by

[tex]\dfrac{1000}{x}+\dfrac{2500}{x-5}[/tex]

If p is a positive integer,then p(p+1)(p-1) is always divisible by?

Answers

I am not quite sure what the choices are, but the answer to that problem is:

If p is a positive integer, then p(p+1)(p-1) is always divisible by “an even number”.

The explanation to this is that whatever number you input to that equation, the answer will always be an even number. This is due to the expression p(p+1)(p-1) which always result in a even product.

For example if p=3, then (p+1)(p-1) becomes (4)(2) giving you a even number.

And if for example if p=2, then (p+1)(p-1) becomes (3)(1) which gives an odd product, but we still have to multiply this with p therefore 2*3 = 6 which is even product. The outcome is always even number.

Answer: From the choices, select the even number

Final answer:

If p is a positive integer, p(p+1)(p-1) is always divisible by 3.

Explanation:

If p is a positive integer, then p(p+1)(p-1) is always divisible by 3.

This can be proven by applying the property of divisibility by 3. According to this property, a number is divisible by 3 if and only if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.

In the expression p(p+1)(p-1), the three terms p, (p+1), and (p-1) represent three consecutive numbers. Since the sum of the digits of any consecutive numbers is always divisible by 3, the expression is always divisible by 3.

Susan invests
2
times as much money at
8%
as she does at
4%
. If her total interest after
1
year is
$800
, how much does she have invested at each rate?

Answers

Let f=amount invested at 4% and e=amount invested at 8%

0.04f+.08e=800

However, e=2f so the above equation becomes:

0.04f+0.08(2f)=800

0.04f+0.16f=800

0.2f=800

f=$4000, since e=2f

e=$8000

So Susan invested $4000 at 4% and $8000 at 8%.

Final answer:

To find how much Susan has invested at each rate when she invests 2 times as much money at 8% as she does at 4%, create and solve an equation based on the total interest earned.

Explanation:

Susan has invested $x at 4% interest rate and $2x at 8% interest rate.

Given that the total interest after 1 year is $800, we can create the equation: $x(0.04) + $2x(0.08) = $800.

Solving the equation, we find that Susan has $3,000 invested at 4% and $6,000 invested at 8%.

Answers

Answer:

0.8x – 12

Explanation:

The sale price is (x-15). After the 20% discount, the final price is 0.80 times the sale price, so is ...

... final price = 0.80×(x -15) = 0.80x -12

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of the jacket be x.

A jacket is on sale for $15 off. As part of a one-day sale, a 20% discount is applied to all purchases.

The price of jacket after $15 off is [tex]x-15[/tex].

Then 20% discount is applied, so the final price of the jacket is

[tex]P=(x-15)(1-\frac{20}{100})[/tex]

[tex]P=(x-15)(1-0.2)[/tex]

[tex]P=(x-15)(0.8)[/tex]

[tex]P=0.8x-12[/tex]

The final price of the jacket during this sale is 0.8x-12. Therefore the correct option is B.

What is the next number in the series? 71 62 53 44 35 ?

Answers

This is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of -9, so the next term will be 35-9=26.

If you examine your sequence closely, you can notice that the number in the tens place is decreasing by 1 as the number in the ones place is increasing by 1.
To further prove this;
71 --> 62.
-10 and + 1.
62 --> 53.
-10 and +1
and so on.

However, if that's a little too complicated, there's an alternate method.
All you have to do is subtract 9 from the current number.
To further prove this;
71 - 9 = 62
62 - 9 = 53
53 - 9 = 44
and so on.

So, let's subtract 9 from our most current number, 35.
35 - 9 = 26.

The upcoming number in your sequence is 26.

A motorboat takes 3 hours to travel 108 km going upstream. The return trip takes 2 hours going downstream. What is the rate of the boat in still water and what is the rate of the current?

Answers

recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.

let's say the boat has a still water rate of "b", and the current has a a rate of "c", ok.... when the boat is going upstream, is not really going "b" fast, is going slower at "b - c", due to the current going in the opposite direction.

when the boat is coming downstream, is not going "b" fast either, is going faster, is going "b + c", due to the current adding speed to it.

we know the trip up was 108 kms, thus the return trip is also 108 kms.

[tex]\bf \begin{array}{lccclll} &distance&rate&time\\ &-----&-----&-----\\ Upstream&108&b-c&3\\ Downstream&108&b+c&2 \end{array} \\\\\\ \begin{cases} 108=3(b-c)\implies \cfrac{108}{3}=b-c\implies 36+c=\boxed{b}\\\\ 108=2(b+c)\\ --------------------\\ 108=2\left(\boxed{36+c} +c \right) \end{cases} \\\\\\ \cfrac{108}{2}=36+2c\implies 54=36-2c\implies \cfrac{54-36}{2}=c[/tex]

and surely you know how much that is.

what's the boat's speed? well, 36 + c = b.

What is the integral of 1/x?

Answers

The indefinite integral is usually written as ln(x) if x>0, as u can see it's undefined for x = 0.

Final answer:

The integral of 1/x is the natural logarithm of the absolute value of x, plus an integration constant C. This expression is central to calculations in many areas of science and mathematics.

Explanation:

The integral of 1/x is known as the natural logarithm of the absolute value of x, plus a constant of integration, commonly referred to as C. In mathematical terms, this is expressed as:

[tex]$ \int \frac{1}{x} dx = \ln(|x|) + C $[/tex]

The natural logarithm arises due to the fundamental properties of the integral, and it's significant as it appears frequently across various fields of science and mathematics. While the basic form of integration of 1/x involves the natural logarithm, in applied examples like the cases mentioned above, where one works with additional functions or domain restrictions, the integral may lead to more complex expressions or even vanish under certain symmetry conditions.

Poisson suppose you have 5 cakes made ready to sell. what is the probability that you will sell out?

Answers

From question given, the selling of the cake is assumed to be a Poisson process.

Assume further that the mean number of cakes sold per day is lambda.

Let k=5 = number of cakes sold during the day, then the Poisson pmf (probability mass distribution) is given by
P(k)=lambda^k*e^(-lambda)/k!
or
P(5)=lambda^5*e^(-lambda)/5!
=lambda^5*e^(-lambda)/120

If the average number of cakes sold is 4 per day, then
P(5)=4^5*e^(-4)/120
=0.156 is the probability of selling exactly 5 cakes.

The probability of selling 5 cakes or more (i.e. the sixth and subsequent customers will be told to come back the next day) is then
P(k>=5)=1-(P(k=0)+P(k=1)+P(k=2)+P(k=3)+P(k=4)
=1-(0.018316+0.073263+0.146525+0.195367+0.195367)
=0.371163
(for mean number of cakes sold per day = 4 )

If 12 bumper stickers cost $8.64, then how much do 18 cost

Answers

In order to solve this problem, we must first find the GCF of 12 and 18. This would be six. Next, we would need to find out the value of six stickers. This can be done by halving the value of 12, as 6 is one-half of 12. 8.64/2 = $4.32, which is the cost of 6 stickers. Next, we need to multiply the cost of six stickers by 3 in order to get the cost of 18 stickers, because 18 is three times 6. 4.32 x 3 = $12.96. Therefore, the cost of 18 stickers is $12.96.

Hope this helps!

The proportion is solved and the cost of 18 bumper stickers is $ 12.96.

Given data:

To find out how much 18 bumper stickers cost, use a proportion since the cost of bumper stickers is directly proportional to the number of stickers.

Cost of 12 bumper stickers / Number of 12 bumper stickers = Cost of 18 bumper stickers / Number of 18 bumper stickers

On simplifying the proportion:

$8.64 / 12 = x / 18

Now, solve for x (the cost of 18 bumper stickers):

x = ($8.64 / 12) * 18

x = $12.96

Hence, 18 bumper stickers cost $12.96.

A square picture with a side length of 4 inches needs to be enlarged. The final area needs to be 81 square inches.

Which equation can be used to solve for x, the increase in side length of the square in inches?

x2 + 4x – 81 = 0
x2 + 4x – 65 = 0
x2 + 8x – 65 = 0
x2 + 8x – 81 = 0

Answers

Let x be the "enlargement value" of each side :
Then the enlarged side becomes (x+4) and the square = (x+4)²
The final area should be (x+4)² = 81
Let's expand:
x²+ 8x + 16 = 81
x² + 8x + 16 - 81 = 0
x² + 8x - 65 = 0

Answer:

[tex]x^2+8x-65=0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Side length of square = 4 inches

Let x be the increase in length

So, New length = x+4

Area of square = [tex]Side^2[/tex]

Area of enlarged square = [tex](x+4)^2[/tex]

Using identity : [tex](a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab[/tex]

Area of enlarged square = [tex]x^2+16+8x[/tex]

We are given that The final area needs to be 81 square inches.

So, [tex]x^2+16+8x=81[/tex]

[tex]x^2+16+8x-81=0[/tex]

[tex]x^2+8x-65=0[/tex]

So, Option C is true

Hence equation can be used to solve for x, the increase in side length of the square in inches is [tex]x^2+8x-65=0[/tex]
