A motorboat can maintain a constant speed of 26 miles per hour relative to the water. The boat makes a trip upstream to a certain point in 33 minutes; the return trip takes 19 minutes. What is the speed of the current?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  7 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

A boat whose speed in still water is 26 mph makes a trip upstream in 33 minutes and returns in 19 minutes. You want to know the speed of the current.

Setup

The travel time is inversely proportional to the speed, so we can write the proportion (using c for the current speed in mph) ...

  time upstream / time downstream = speed downstream / speed upstream

  33/19 = (26 +c)/(26 -c)

Solution

Multiplying by 19(26 -c) gives ...

  33(26 -c) = 19(26 +c)

  (33 -19)(26) = (33 +19)c . . . . add 33c -19(26)

  14(26)/(52) = c = 7

The speed of the current is 7 miles per hour.

a. Invent two situations that you think would result in distributions with similar measures of variability. Explain your reasoning.

b. Invent two situations that you think would result in distributions with different measures of variability. Explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using measures of variability, it is found that:

a. The situations with constant measures involve constant distributions, such as the number of snow days in Miami each year.

b. The situations with different measures involve constant distributions, such as the number of snow days in Buffalo each year.

What are the measures of variability in a data-set?

There are three measures of variability in a data-set: the range, the standard deviation and the variance.

The range is given by the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of a data-set.

The standard deviation and the variance are described as follows:

The mean of a data-set is given by the sum of all values in the data-set, divided by the number of values.The standard deviation of a data-set is given by the square root of the sum of the differences squared between each observation and the mean, divided by the number of values.The variance is the square of the standard deviation.

Uniform(constants) data-sets will have similar measures. One example is the number of snow days in Miami each year, which is always of 0, hence the three measures will be of 0.

More disperse data-set will have different measures. Taking the city of Buffalo, in New York, as an example. On average, it should have 40 days of snow each winter, but on colder winters it can have 60 and warmer winters it can have 20. Hence the distribution with the number of snow days in Buffalo over a period of 20 years will have different range, standard deviation and variances.

Answers

(A) d = √((4-x)²+(6-y)²)
(B). X²+y²-8x-12y-29=0.

(a) What is Distance Between Two Points Formula? Distance between two points is the length of the line segment that connects the two points in a plane. The formula to find the distance between the two points is usually given by
d=√((x2 – x1)² + (y2 – y1)²)
The point for (X1,y1) is (x,y).
And the point for (x2,y2) is (4,6)
d = √((4-x)²+(6-y)²)

(B). It is given that
Distance between above equation is 9 units.
So d=9.
√((4-x²)+(6-y²)) = 9
((4-x)²+(6-y)²) = 81
(16+x²-8x)+(36+y²-12y)=81
Now we have to calculate this equation.
We can write this equation as,
16+36+x²+y²-8x-12y=81
52+x²+y²-8x-12y=81
X²+y²-8x-12y=81-52
X²+y²-8x-12y=29
X²+y²-8x-12y-29=0.
So,this is the equation for distance = 9 units.

Solve for c.
2c 12c + 13c = 12

Answers

The value of c is 4.

Here, we are given an equation

2c - 12c + 13c = 12

Since, all the terms on the left hand side have a c in them, we can take it common outside the bracket as follows-

c (2 - 12 + 13) = 12

or c (2 + 13 - 12) = 12

Firstly, we add the positive terms in the bracket which will give us

c (15 -12) = 12

Now, we subtract 12 from 15 to get

c (3) = 12

or 3c = 12

Dividing by 3 on both sides we get

c = 12/3

c = 4

Thus, the value of c is 4.

Answers

It will take 24 cones to fill the cylinder.

so you have a cylinder and you have a cone. The radius of the base of the cylinder is 10cm And its height is 20 cm. A cone is used to fill the cylinder with water. The cone's base, the radius of the cone space. Okay good. Is five centimeters And his height is 10 cm. The number of times one needs to use the cone to completely fill the cylinder of water. So let's find the volume. The volume of a cylinder is the area of the base times the height. So this is pi r squared times the height. I'm going to leave it in units of pie. So r squared is 100, 100 times 20 is 2000. So this is 2000 bye. The volume of a cone is 1/3 area of the base times the height Which is 1 3rd pi R squared. H. So Ah this is not going to be an even number, but that's fine. Five times five is 25, 25 times 10 is 250. So this volume is 250 over three pi And we need to know how many cones give us a cylinder. So we have 250 over three pi times the number of cones Will give us 2000 pi. So pi is on both sides. It cancels which is why I left it in units of pie. Multiply 3 to both sides. So this is 250 and is equal to 6000 6000 divided by 250 is 24. So it will take 24 cones to fill the cylinder

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct(when both increase or both decrease) or inverse proportional(when one increases and the other decreases, or vice versa), can be built to find the desired measures in the problem, or equations to find these measures.

The ratio between two amounts a and b is the proportion of a to b, that is, the division of a by b.

FP = FN

makes the triangle FNP an isoceles triangle (both legs have the same length). and that means both angles of these equal legs with the third side (PN) must be equal.

therefore, the angle N = P2 = 56°.

and we know that the angle P = P1 + P2 = 68 + 56 = 124°.

LE = LM

makes the triangle ELM an isoceles triangle. because of that, both angles of these 2 legs with the third side (ME) are equal.

therefore, M1 = E1 = 62°.

the fact that the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180° gives us the angle L

180 = 62 + 62 + angle L = 124 + angle L

56° = angle L

because angles L and P are supplementary (that means together they have 180°, which is true as 124 + 56 = 180), it means that LM || PN. as this pair of supplementary angles means that their connecting line LP is intersecting the lines LM and PN at the same angles, which makes LM parallel to PN.

and as angle N = angle L (56°), this also proves that MN is parallel to LP (as now the line PN intersects LP and MN at the same angles and N and P are supplementary angles).

with the proof in (1) that we have 2 sets of parallel sidelines (LP || MN, LM || PN), this makes LMNP per basic definition a parallelogram.

Step 2:The divisor (9) goes into the first digit of the dividend (4), 0 time(s). Therefore, put 0 on top:    0    9⟌481

Step 3:Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (9 x 0 = 0) and write that answer below the dividend.     0    9⟌481   0  

Step 4:Subtract the result in the previous step from the first digit of the dividend (4 - 0 = 4) and write the answer below.     0    9⟌481   -0      4  

Step 5:Move down the 2nd digit of the dividend (8) like this:    0    9⟌481   -0      48 

Step 6:The divisor (9) goes into the bottom number (48), 5 time(s). Therefore, put 5 on top:    05   9⟌481   -0      48 

Step 7:Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (9 x 5 = 45) and write that answer at the bottom:    05   9⟌481   -0      48     45 

Step 8:Subtract the result in the previous step from the number written above it. (48 - 45 = 3) and write the answer at the bottom.    05   9⟌481   -0      48    -45      3 

Step 9:Move down the last digit of the dividend (1) like this:    05   9⟌481   -0      48    -45      31

Step 10:The divisor (9) goes into the bottom number (31), 3 time(s). Therefore put 3 on top:    053  9⟌481   -0      48    -45      31

Step 11:Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (9 x 3 = 27) and write the answer at the bottom:    053  9⟌481   -0      48    -45      31     27

Step 12:Subtract the result in the previous step from the number written above it. (31 - 27 = 4) and write the answer at the bottom.    053  9⟌481   -0      48    -45      31   - 27      4

You are done, because there are no more digits to move down from the dividend.The answer is the top number and the remainder is the bottom number.Therefore, the answer to 481 divided by 9 calculated using Long Division is: 53 4 Remainder
