Amanda, Bryce, and Corey enter a race in which they have to run, swim, and cycle over a marked course. Their average speeds are given in the table. Corey finishes first with a total time of 1hr 50 min. Amanda comes in second with a time of 2hr 42 min. Bryce finishes last with a time of 3hr 16 min. Find the distance (in mi) for each part of the race.

Amanda, Bryce, And Corey Enter A Race In Which They Have To Run, Swim, And Cycle Over A Marked Course.

Answers

Answer 1

The running distance is 4.23 miles, the swimming distance is 1.98 miles and the cycling distance is 35.64 miles.

Each racer travels the same distance and the sum of the distances travelled ([tex]x[/tex]), in miles. By definition of average speed ([tex]v[/tex]), in miles per hour, we get the following system of equations:

Amanda

[tex]t_{A} = \frac{x_{R}}{v_{A, R}}+\frac{x_{S}}{v_{A,S}}+\frac{x_{C}}{v_{A,C}}[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]x_{R}[/tex] - Running distance, in miles.[tex]x_{S}[/tex] - Swimming distance, in miles.[tex]x_{C}[/tex] - Cycling distance, in miles. [tex]v_{A,R}[/tex] - Speed of Amanda in the running distance, in miles per hour.[tex]v_{A,S}[/tex] - Speed of Amanda in the swimming distance, in miles per hour.[tex]v_{A,C}[/tex] - Speed of Amanda in the cycling distance, in miles per hour.[tex]t_{A}[/tex] - Total time of Amanda, in hours.

Bryce

[tex]t_{B} = \frac{x_{R}}{v_{B, R}}+\frac{x_{S}}{v_{B,S}}+\frac{x_{C}}{v_{B,C}}[/tex] (2)

Where:

[tex]v_{B,R}[/tex] - Speed of Bryce in the running distance, in miles per hour.[tex]v_{B,S}[/tex] - Speed of Bryce in the swimming distance, in miles per hour.[tex]v_{B,C}[/tex] - Speed of Bryce in the cycling distance, in miles per hour.[tex]t_{B}[/tex] - Total time of Bryce, in hours.

Corey

[tex]t_{C} = \frac{x_{R}}{v_{C, R}}+\frac{x_{S}}{v_{C,S}}+\frac{x_{C}}{v_{C,C}}[/tex] (3)

Where:

[tex]v_{B,R}[/tex] - Speed of Corey in the running distance, in miles per hour.[tex]v_{B,S}[/tex] - Speed of Corey in the swimming distance, in miles per hour.[tex]v_{B,C}[/tex] - Speed of Corey in the cycling distance, in miles per hour.[tex]t_{B}[/tex] - Total time of Corey, in hours.

If we know that [tex]t_{A} = 2.7\,h[/tex], [tex]v_{A,R} = 10\,\frac{mi}{h}[/tex], [tex]v_{A,S} = 4\,\frac{mi}{h}[/tex], [tex]v_{A, C} = 20\,\frac{mi}{h}[/tex], [tex]t_{B} = 3.27\,h[/tex], [tex]v_{B,R} = 7.5\,\frac{mi}{h}[/tex], [tex]v_{B,S} = 6\,\frac{mi}{h}[/tex], [tex]v_{B,C} = 15\,\frac{mi}{h}[/tex], [tex]t_{C} = 1.833\,h[/tex], [tex]v_{C,R} = 15\,\frac{mi}{h}[/tex], [tex]v_{C,S} = 3\,\frac{mi}{h}[/tex] and [tex]v_{C,C} = 40\,\frac{mi}{h}[/tex], then the solution of the linear system of equations is:

[tex]\frac{x_{R}}{10} + \frac{x_{S}}{4} + \frac{x_{C}}{20} = 2.7[/tex] (4)

[tex]\frac{x_{B}}{7.5}+\frac{x_{S}}{6} +\frac{x_{C}}{15} = 3.27[/tex] (5)

[tex]\frac{x_{R}}{15}+\frac{x_{S}}{3} +\frac{x_{C}}{40} = 1.833[/tex] (6)

[tex]x_{R} = 4.23\,mi[/tex], [tex]x_{S} = 1.98\,mi[/tex], [tex]x_{C} = 35.64\,mi[/tex]

The running distance is 4.23 miles, the swimming distance is 1.98 miles and the cycling distance is 35.64 miles.

determine the measurement of segment XV​

Answers

Answer:

Segment XV is equal to 24 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Both triangles are clearly congruent, both having the same type of angles as well as angle LKJ and angle VKW having the same angle measure, 21 degrees. Lastly, if you were to take out segment JL and WV, the triangles would fold the same. All of this leads to segment XV being the same as segment KL which leads it to be 24 mm.

x + 2x + 5x = 180 , that is

8x = 180 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 22.5

The graph of a function is shown on the coordinate plane below. Identify the rate of change of the function.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope m is a measure of the rate of change

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

with |(x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 4) ← 2 points on the line

m = [tex]\frac{4-(-1)}{3-0}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4+1}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex] ← rate of change

Answer:

slope(m) = 7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use Rise over run in order to find out the answer. I just used points (0,-1) and (4,6) and the rise was positive 7 while the run is 4 so the rate of change or the slope is 7/4.

You could also use the long way to figure the slope of the line. You could use (y2 - y1) / (x2, x1) to get the same slope

The length of a planet's orbit around a star is approximately 22,200,000 km. It takes the planet about 1230 Earth days to complete a full orbit. What is the planet's average speed in kmh-1 to 3sf?​

Answers

Answer:

Approximately [tex]12.9\; \rm km \cdot h^{-1}[/tex], assuming that this orbit is circular.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking for a tangential velocity with the unit [tex]\rm km \cdot h^{-1}[/tex]. The unit of the given distance is already in [tex]\rm km[/tex] as required. Convert the unit of the orbital period to hours:

[tex]\begin{aligned}T &= 1230\; \text{day} \times \frac{24\; \rm h}{1\; \text{day}}. = 29520\; \rm h\end{aligned}[/tex].

Calculate the angular velocity [tex]\omega[/tex] of this planet from its orbital period:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\omega &= \frac{2\, \pi}{T} \\ &= \frac{2\, \pi}{29520\; \rm h} \approx 2.1285 \times 10^{-4}\; \rm h^{-1}\end{aligned}[/tex].

Given the radius [tex]r[/tex] of the orbit of this planet, the tangential velocity [tex]v_{\perp}[/tex] of this planet would be:

[tex]\begin{aligned}v_{\perp} &= \omega\, r \\ &\approx 2.1285 \times 10^{-4}\; \rm h^{-1} \times 2.22\times 10^{7}\; \rm km \\ &\approx 4.73 \times 10^{3}\; \rm km \cdot h^{-1}\end{aligned}[/tex].

If the orbit of this planet is circular, the velocity of the planet would be equal to its tangential velocity: [tex]4.73\times 10^{3}\; \rm km \cdot h^{-1}[/tex].
