Two trains leave the station at the same time, one heading east and the other west. The eastbound train travels 14 miles per hour slower than the westbound train. If the two trains are 480 miles apart after 3 hours, what is the rate of the eastbound train?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: 73 mi/hr

Explanation:

Distance to east+Distance to west = 480

But distance = V x t

Let x be the velocity
And t = 3hr

=> 3(x - 14) + 3x = 480
=> 3x - 42 + 3x = 480
=> 6x - 42 = 480
=> 6x = 522
=> x = 522/6
=> x = 87

But eastbound train travel 14 mi less than westbound.

x - 14

But x = 87

=> 87 - 14 = 73

Thus, 73 is the rate of the eastbound train
Answer 2

73 is the rate of the eastbound train while The speed of the westbound train is 59 miles per hour.

What is Speed?

speed is described as. the pace at which an object's location changes in any direction. Speed is defined as the distance traveled divided by the travel time. Speed is a scalar quantity because it just has a direction and no magnitude.

Given, Two trains leave the station at the same time, one heading east and the other west. The eastbound train travels 14 miles per hour slower than the westbound train.

Eastbound train:

time = 3 hrs, rate = x mph, distance = 3x miles

Westbound train:

time = 3 hrs ; rate = x-14 ; distance = 3x-42 miles

3x + 3x - 42 = 480

6x = 438

x = 73 (rate of the eastbound train)

To find the rate of the westbound train:

rate = x -14

rate = 73 - 14

rate of westbound train = 59

Therefore, The speed of the westbound train is 59 miles per hour.

That was just distributing the .75 but here is where it gets a bit confusing.

Calculate the area of the triangle: A =

Answers

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the triangle is 30.9 square units.

We have,

From the figure,

Height = Distance between (-2, 6) and (-2, 0).

Base = Distance between (-2, 0) and (7, -5).

To find the distance between two points in a Cartesian coordinate system, use the distance formula:

Distance = [tex]\sqrt{((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2)[/tex]

Height:

Distance = √((-2 - (-2))² + (0 - 6)²)

Distance = √(0² + (-6)²)

Distance = √(0 + 36)

Distance = √36

Distance = 6

Base:

Distance = √((7 - (-2))² + (-5 - 0)²)

Distance = √((7 + 2)² + (-5)²)

Distance = √(9² + (-5)²)

Distance = √(81 + 25)

Distance = √106

Distance ≈ 10.3

Now,

The area of the triangle.

= 1/2 x base x height

= 1/2 x 10.3 x 6

= 10.3 x 3

= 30.9 square units

Thus,

The area of the triangle is 30.9 square units.

Exact value:  [tex]c = \frac{-11+\sqrt{165}}{22}[/tex]

Approximate value:    c = 0.08387

Round the approximate value however you need to

==============================================

Work Shown:

Let x = 1+c

[tex]\displaystyle S = \sum_{n=2}^{\infty}(1+c)^{-n}\\\\\\\displaystyle S = \sum_{n=2}^{\infty}x^{-n}\\\\\\\displaystyle S = \sum_{n=2}^{\infty}\frac{1}{x^n}\\\\\\\displaystyle S = \frac{1}{x^2}+\frac{1}{x^3}+\frac{1}{x^4}\ldots\\\\\\[/tex]

We have an infinite geometric series here. The first term is a = 1/(x^2). The common ratio is r = 1/x.

Each new term is found by multiplying the previous term by 1/x.

Assuming -1 < r < 1 is true, the infinite geometric sum is

[tex]S = \frac{a}{1-r}\\\\\\S = \frac{1/x^2}{1-1/x}\\\\\\S = \frac{1/x^2}{x/x-1/x}\\\\\\S = \frac{1/x^2}{(x-1)/x}\\\\\\S = \frac{1}{x^2}\div\frac{x-1}{x}\\\\\\S = \frac{1}{x^2}*\frac{x}{x-1}\\\\\\S = \frac{1}{x^2-x}\\\\\\[/tex]

Plug in S = 11 and solve for x

[tex]S = \frac{1}{x^2-x}\\\\11 = \frac{1}{x^2-x}\\\\11(x^2-x) = 1\\\\11x^2-11x = 1\\\\11x^2-11x-1 = 0\\\\[/tex]

Use the quadratic formula to find the two solutions

[tex]x = \frac{11+\sqrt{165}}{22} \approx 1.08387\\\\x = \frac{11-\sqrt{165}}{22} \approx -0.08387\\\\[/tex]

Using these x values, we find that the corresponding r values are

r = 1/x = 1/(1.08387) = 0.92262

r = 1/x = 1/(-0.08387) = -11.92321

The first r value makes -1 < r < 1 true, but the second r value does not. So we will be ignoring the solution x = -0.08387

----------------------------------------------

Using the solution that corresponds to x = 1.08387, we find the value of c is

[tex]x = c+1\\\\c = x-1\\\\c = \frac{11+\sqrt{165}}{22}-1\\\\c = \frac{11+\sqrt{165}}{22}-\frac{22}{22}\\\\c = \frac{11+\sqrt{165}-22}{22}\\\\c = \frac{-11+\sqrt{165}}{22}\\\\c \approx 0.08387\\\\[/tex]

How do you do this question?

Answers

Answer:

a) -7/9

b) 16 / (n² + 15n + 56)

c) 1

Step-by-step explanation:

When n = 1, there is only one term in the series, so a₁ = s₁.

a₁ = (1 − 8) / (1 + 8)

a₁ = -7/9

The sum of the first n terms is equal to the sum of the first n−1 terms plus the nth term.

sₙ = sₙ₋₁ + aₙ

(n − 8) / (n + 8) = (n − 1 − 8) / (n − 1 + 8) + aₙ

(n − 8) / (n + 8) = (n − 9) / (n + 7) + aₙ

aₙ = (n − 8) / (n + 8) − (n − 9) / (n + 7)

If you wish, you can simplify by finding the common denominator.

aₙ = [(n − 8) (n + 7) − (n − 9) (n + 8)] / [(n + 8) (n + 7)]

aₙ = [n² − n − 56 − (n² − n − 72)] / (n² + 15n + 56)

aₙ = 16 / (n² + 15n + 56)

The infinite sum is:

∑₁°° aₙ = lim(n→∞) sₙ

∑₁°° aₙ = lim(n→∞) (n − 8) / (n + 8)

∑₁°° aₙ = 1

Answer:

*The Museum and the Coffee Shop lie on the opposite sides of the transversal and form a pair of alternate exterior angles

*The Day Care and the Community Center are supplementary angles and on opposite sides of the transversal.

*The Fire Station and the Community Center are consecutive interior angles lying on the same side of the transversal

Step-by-step explanation:

The transversal is the major road that crosses the other two roads shown in the diagram above.

Applying the knowledge of properties of lines, let's consider each statement given, to ascertain which is true and which is untrue:

Statement 1: 'The Fire Station and the Worship Center lie on the same side of the transversal and form a linear pair."

The fire station and the Worship center are on the same side of the transversal, however, they do not form a linear pair. They are corresponding angles.

Statement is NOT TRUE.

Statement 2: "The Museum and the Coffee Shop lie on the opposite sides of the transversal and form a pair of alternate exterior angles."

This statement is TRUE.

The Museum and the Coffee shop form alternate exterior angles pair.

Statement 3: "The Bank, the Museum, the Coffee Shop, the Worship Center are interior angles."

This is NOT TRUE.

They are all EXTERIOR angles.

Statement 4: "The Day Care and the Park are on the same side of the transversal and form a linear pair."

This is NOT TRUE.

They are consecutive interior angles.

Statement 5: "The Day Care and the Community Center are supplementary angles and on opposite sides of the transversal."

This is TRUE.

Statement 6: "The Bank and the Community Center are on opposite sides of the transversal and form a pair of alternate interior angles"

This is NOT TRUE.

They are on opposite side of the transversal but one the bank is an exterior angle while the community center is an interior angle.

Statement 7: "The Park and the Museum are adjacent angles and form a vertical pair of angles."

This is NOT TRUE.

They do not share the same side, so they can't be adjacent angles. They only share the same vertex, which makes them vertical angles.

Statement 8: "The Fire Station and the Community Center are consecutive interior angles lying on the same side of the transversal."

This is TRUE.

In Exercises 1–4, use these results from a USA Today survey in which 510 people chose to respond to this question that was posted on the USA Today website: "Should Americans replace passwords with biometric security (fingerprints, etc)?" Among the respondents, 53% said "yes." We want to test the claim that more than half of the population believes that passwords should be replaced with biometric security.Number and Proportiona. Identify the actual number of respondents who answered "yes."b. Identify the sample proportion and the symbol used to represent it.

Answers

Answer:

The proportion of the population believes that passwords should be replaced with biometric security is not more than 50%.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we need to test the claim that more than half of the population believes that passwords should be replaced with biometric security.

Assume that the significance level of the test is, α = 0.05.

The hypothesis can be defined as follows:  

H₀: The proportion of the population believes that passwords should be replaced with biometric security is 50%, i.e. p = 0.50.  

Hₐ: The proportion of the population believes that passwords should be replaced with biometric security is more than 50%, i.e. p > 0.50.  

The information provided is:

[tex]n = 510\\\hat p=0.53[/tex]

Compute the test statistic value as follows:

 [tex]z=\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}[/tex]

    [tex]=\frac{0.53-0.50}{\sqrt{\frac{0.50(1-0.50)}{510}}}\\\\=1.354991\\\\\approx 1.35[/tex]

The test statistic value is 1.35.

The decision rule is:

The null hypothesis will be rejected if the p-value of the test is less than the significance level.

Compute the p-value as follows:

 [tex]p-value=P(Z>1.35)[/tex]

                 [tex]=1-P(Z<1.35)\\=1-0.91149\\=0.08851\\\approx0.088[/tex]

p-value = 0.088 > α = 0.05.

The null hypothesis will not be rejected at 5% significance level.

Thus, there is not enough evidence to support the claim.

Conclusion:

The proportion of the population believes that passwords should be replaced with biometric security is not more than 50%.
