A man is in a boat 2 miles from the nearest point on the coast. He is to go to point Q, located 3 miles down the coast and 1 mile inland (see figure). He can row at a rate of 4 miles per hour and walk at 4 miles per hour. Toward what point on the coast should he row in order to reach point Q in the least time?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is "0.45385".

Step-by-step explanation:

The time is taken to reach the coast [tex]= \frac{\sqrt{(2^2 + x^2)}}{4}[/tex]

The  time is taken to reach Q after reaching the coast [tex]= \frac{\sqrt{(1 + (3-x)^2)}}{4}[/tex]

Total time, [tex]T= \frac{\sqrt{(1 + (3-x)^2)}}{4}+ \frac{\sqrt{(1 + (3-x)^2)}}{4}[/tex]

This has to be minimum,

[tex]\to \frac{dt}{dx} = 0[/tex]

[tex]\to \frac{\sqrt{(2^2 + x^2)}}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{1 + (3-x)^2}}{3}\\\\ \frac{x}{4}\sqrt{(4+x^2)} + \frac{(x-3)}{(4\sqrt{(x^2-6x+10)}} = 0\\\\\frac{x^2}{16} \times (4+x^2) = \frac{(x-3)^2}{16 \times (x^2-6x+10)}\\\\x^2(4+x^2) = \frac{(x-3)^2}{(x^2-6x+10)}\\\\4x^2+x^4 = \frac{ x^2+9-6x}{(x^2-6x+10)}\\\\ 4x^2+x^4(x^2-6x+10) = x^2+9-6x\\\\4x^4-24x^3+40x^2+x^6-6x^5+10x^4= x^2+9-6x\\\\x^6-6x^5+ 14x^4-24x^3+39x^2+6x-9=0\\\\[/tex]

Answer:

  x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

It is convenient to remember the ratios of side lengths of these "special triangles."

The side ratios of ΔABC are 1 : 1 : √2, so BC = AC/√2 = 6.

The side ratios of ΔBCD are 1 : √3 : 2, so BD = BC/2 = 6/2 = 3.

The value of x is 3.

Chris has a collection of dimes and quarters worth $4.25. If she has 22 coins total, how many quarters does she have?

Answers

Given:

Chris has a collection of dimes and quarters worth $4.25.

To number of coins = 22

To find:

The number of quarters.

Solution:

Let x be the number of dimes and y be the number of quarters.

Total coins : [tex]x+y=22[/tex]          ...(i)

we know that, 1 dime = $0.10 and 1 quarter = $0.25.

Total value : [tex]0.10x+0.25y=4.25[/tex]      ...(ii)

Multiply equation (i) by 0.10 and subtract the result form (ii).

[tex]0.10x+0.25y-0.10(x+y)=4.25-0.10(22)[/tex]

[tex]0.10x+0.25y-0.10x-0.10y=4.25-2.20[/tex]

[tex]0.15y=2.05[/tex]

Divide both sides by 0.15.

[tex]y=\dfrac{2.05}{0.15}[/tex]

[tex]y=13.6667[/tex]

Number of quarter cannot be a decimal value.

[tex]y\approx 17[/tex]

Therefore, the number of quarter is about 17.

Geraldo has 3 fewer marbles than Yan. Together, they have 21 marbles. Which equation
represents this situation?
x + (3 - x) = 21, where x is the number of marbles Geraldo has
x + (3 - x) = 21, where x is the number of marbles Yan has
x + (x - 3) = 21, where x is the number of marbles Yan has
x + (x - 3) = 21, where x is the number of marbles Geraldo has
Done
My Progress >

Answers

Answer:

x + (x-3) = 21

x + x - 3 = 21

2 x - 3 = 21

Explanation:

In this problem, let us first analyze the situation. It says here that Geraldo and Yan both had marbles of their own. The problem states that together, they have a total of 21 marbles. However, we know here from the problem that they have different number of marbles each. Geraldo seems to have lesser number of marbles than Yan. Yan have three marbles more than Geraldo.

We can write the equation starting from assigning the unknown.

We'll use x.

x is the number of marbles that Yan have.

if x is Yan's, then, we can say that x-3 is Geraldo's.

Put them together into the equation.

Yan's plus Geraldo's is equal to 21.

Substitute using the represented unknowns.

x + (x-3) = 21.

In solving, we can also rule out that:

x + x - 3 = 21

2 x - 3 = 21

2 x = 21 + 3

2 x = 24

x = 12

x - 3 = 9

Yan has 12 marbles

and Geraldo has 9 marbles.

Answer: X+(X-3)=21 or C

Explain how solving -7y > 161 is different from solving 7y > -161.

Answers

To solve -7y > 161, we divide both sides by -7 and we get y < -23. The inequality sign flipped because we divided both sides by a negative number.

To solve 7y > -161, we divide both sides by 7 and it leads to y > -23. The inequality sign does not flip in this case, because we are not dividing both sides by a negative number.

The similarities is that we end up with -23 on the right side, but the inequality signs are different.

6. The Awesome Bowl Factory makes two kinds of bowls. They produce a
basic bowl every 9 minutes and a gigantic bowl every 12 minutes. They
start at 8:00 A.M. At what time are the basic bowl and the gigantic bowl
first produced together?

Answers

Answer: 8.36 a.m

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, first we need to calculate the lowest common multiple of 9 and 12.

Multiples of 9 = 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90, 99, 108.

Multiples of 12 = 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120.

Here, the lowest common multiple = 36

Therefore, we will add 8.00am plus 36 minutes. This will be:

= 8:00 a.m + 36 minutes

= 8.36 am

The time that the basic bowl and the gigantic bowl are first produced together is 8.36 am.
