Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

First term of the sequence is [tex]11[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]a[/tex] be the first term and [tex]d[/tex] be the common difference

We have

The sum of the second term and the ninth term of an arithmetic sequence is [tex]-5[/tex]

[tex]a+(2-1)d+a+(9-1)d=-5\\\\2a+9d=-5---eqn1[/tex]

The sum of the third and fourth terms of the same sequence is [tex]7[/tex]

[tex]a+(3-1)d+a+(4-1)d=7\\\\2a+5d=7---eqn2[/tex]

eqn 1 - eq2

[tex]4d=-12\\\\d=-3[/tex]

Substituting in eqn 1

[tex]2a+9\times -3=-5\\\\2a=22\\\\a=11[/tex]

First term of the sequence is [tex]11[/tex]

after the outbreak of a mysterious disease, the average wait time at a hospital by 70%. Before the outbreak, the average wait time at a hospital is m minutes

Answers

Answer:

1.7m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 'm' was the waiting time before the outbreak

After the outbreak, waiting time increased by 70%.

This implies that :

70% of m increase

m + 70% of m

m + 70/100 of m

m + ( 70÷100 ) × m

B 11 feet
C 15 feet
D 17 feet

Answers

Well the only thing that i see that is logical is B 11 feet but its kinda hard to understand the problem so im gunna say B

The solution is Option C.

The height of the wall to the top of the ladder is 15 feet

What is a Triangle?

A triangle is a plane figure or polygon with three sides and three angles.

A Triangle has three vertices and the sum of the interior angles add up to 180°

Let the Triangle be ΔABC , such that

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

The area of the triangle = ( 1/2 ) x Length x Base

For a right angle triangle

From the Pythagoras Theorem , The hypotenuse² = base² + height²

Given data ,

Let the triangle be represented as ABC

Let the height of the wall be represented as h = AB

Now , Larry liens a 16 foot ladder against a wall

So , the hypotenuse of the triangle AC = 16 feet

And , the base is 5 feet away from the wall

So , the base of the triangle BC = 5 feet

The height of the wall h is given by the Pythagoras theorem ,

For a right angle triangle

From the Pythagoras Theorem , The hypotenuse² = base² + height²

Substituting the values in the equation , we get

AC² = AB² + BC²

16² = AB² + 5²

On simplifying the equation , we get

Subtracting 5² on both sides of the equation , we get

AB² = 16² - 5²

AB² = 256 - 25

AB² = 231

Taking square root on both sides of the equation , we get

AB = 15.19

AB ≈ 15 feet

Therefore , the value of h is 15 feet

Hence , the height of the wall is 15 feet

It costs $10 to rent a canoe and $5.50 to use the canoe for an hour. You have $21. Write an equation that represents the number h of hours you can rent the canoe.

Answers

Answer:

21 = 10 + 5.5h

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost = initial cost + hourly cost

21 = 10 + hourly cost

hourly cost = 5.5 per hour, or 5.5 * h as we add 5.5 for each hour

21 = 10 + 5.5h

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$10 + $5.50h ≤ $21

Let h stand for the hours the canoe is rented.

Fixed cost = $10, regardless of h.

$5.50h for the cost of n hours of rental.

Total cost = $10 + $5.50h

The total cannot exceed $21, legally.  

So we should write:

$10 + $5.50h ≤ $21

There are 3 right triangles in this picture, and they are all mutually similar.

• the smallest triangle has legs 4 and y, and hypotenuse z

• the middle one has legs y and 16, and hypotenuse x

• the largest one has legs z and x, and hypotenuse 16 + 4 = 20

Note the order in which I've listed the sides (shortest to longest). Because these triangles are similar, the corresponding sides occur in a fixed ratio. In particular, we have

4/y = y/16 = z/x … (ratios of each side of the smallest and middle triangles)

4/z = y/x = z/20 … (ratios of the sides of the smallest and largest triangles)

y/z = 16/x = x/20 … (ratios of the sides of the middle and largest triangles)

We just want to find x, which we can do easily with the last equality,

16/x = x/20

Solve for x :

20 • 16/x = 20 • x/20

320/x = x

x • 320/x = x • x

320 = x²

⇒   x = √320 = √(64 • 5) = 8√5

explain why the area of the large rectangle is 2a + 3a + 4a

Answers

Answer:

The area of the large rectangle = the sum of the areas of the three smaller rectangles

areas of the smaller rectangles are : 2a, 3a, and 4a respectively

The sum of the area of all the rectangles will be 2a + 3a + 4a.

What is the area of the rectangle?

Let W be the rectangle's width and L its length.

The area of the rectangle is the multiplication of the two different sides of the rectangle. Then the rectangle's area will be

Area of the rectangle = L×W square units

Answers

Jill will take 120 minutes to paint a room

The sum of the rates of work in rooms per hour is ...

  Jill's rate + Jim's rate

  = (1/2 room/hour) +(1/3 room/hour) = (3/6 +2/6 room/hour) = 5/6 room/hour

Then the combined rate in hours per room is ...

The average speed of the airplane which travels the given distance and time is 400mph.

Speed

Speed is simply defined as distance traveled per unit of time. It is the change of position of a moving object per unit of time.

It is expressed as;

s = distance / time = d / t

Given the data in the question;

Distance travelled d = 1000miTime taken t = 2 and 1/2 hrs = 2.5hrsAverage speed; s = ?

To determine the average speed of the airplane, we substitute our given values into the expression above.

s = d / t

s = 1000mi / 2.5hrs

s = 400mph

Therefore, the average speed of the airplane which travels the given distance and time is 400mph.
