Only 1 point if no work is shown)
Show some work:

Answers

The range of each amazon box is 1.6035m

According to the question we have been given that

        height of the conveyer belt = 1.4m

        Speed of the belt = 3m/s

We need to find the range of the amazon box, that is we have to find the distance.

Formula for distance is ,  d = speed * time

We have been given the value of speed we need to find the value of time. For that we will use the formula,

                                     h = [tex]\frac{1}{2} g t^{2}[/tex]

where,         h = height

                   g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

                    t = time

Putting the required value for t we get,

        t = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\[/tex]

          = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2(1.4)}{9.8} } \\[/tex]

          = √0.286

          = 0.5435 s

Putting the value of time in distance formula we get,

                d = 3 * 0.5435 m

                   = 1.6035 m

Hence the range of each amazon box is 1.6035m

Find the distance between pair of parallel lines with the given equations.
x=-2 x=5

Answers

The distance between pair of parallel lines with the given equations

x=-2 x=5 is 7 units

Definition of parallel lines

Parallel lines are any two or more lines that lie in the same plane but never cross one another. Both have the same slope and are equally distant from one another. No matter how far we extend a parallel line, it will always remain straight.

The fundamental characteristics listed below make it simple to recognize parallel lines.

Straight lines which are always the same distance apart from one another are known as parallel lines.No matter how far apart they are from one another, the parallel lines can never intersect.

The distance between parallel lines on a graph can be given as x1 - x2 as both are equidistance from y for which y has been cancelled.

here x1 =5 and x2 = -2

So, x1 - x2 = 5 -(-2)

                 = 5 + 2

Write each arithmetic series in summation notation. 1+5+9+. . . . . +41+45

Answers

The arithmetic series 1+5+9+. . . . . +41+45 can be expressed in summation notation as [tex]\sum\limits^{12}_{n=1} {(4n-3)}[/tex]

The given arithmetic series:

    1+5+9+. . . . . +41+45

To write the series in summation notation:

Find the common difference (d) of the series.

d = 5 - 1 = 4

Recall the formula for the nth term in an arithmetic sequence:

a(n) = a(1) + (n-1) . d

Substitute a(1) = 1 and d = 4:

a(n) = 1 + (n-1) . 4

a(n) = 4n - 3

Find n that leads to a(n) = 45

a(n) = 4n - 3

45 = 4n - 3

4n = 48

n = 12

Thus, the lower limit of the summation is n =1, and the upper limit is n = 12

Now write in summation notation as:

[tex]\sum\limits^{12}_{n=1} {a(n)}= \sum\limits^{12}_{n=1} {(4n-3)}[/tex]

This summation notation can be further simplified using the properties of summation operator:

Answers

Using the absolute value function, linear functions and translations, we have that:

9. Vertex (2, 0), Range: {y | 0 ≤ y < ∞}

10. The equation is f(x) = -5x + 100.

11. The correct option is: The slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x).

12. h(-5) = 10.

13. The equation is f(x) = 2x + 5.

14. The graph of y = f(x) will shift right 9 units.

What is the absolute value function?

The absolute value function is defined by the following piecewise rule, depending on the input of the function:

|x| = x, x ≥ 0.|x| = -x, x < 0.

It measures the distance of a point x to the origin, hence, for example, |-2| = |2| = 0, and has vertex(turning point) at (0,0). The range is from the y-coordinate of the vertex to positive infinity.

In item 9, from the table, the turning point is at (2,0), hence:

Vertex (2, 0), Range: {y | 0 ≤ y < ∞}

What is a linear function?

A linear function is modeled by the following rule:

y = mx + b

In which:

m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, the change in y divided by the change in x.b is the y-intercept, which is the the value of y when the function crosses the x-axis, that is, when x = 0.

For item 10, we have that:

The initial amount is of 100 patients, as 75 + 25 x 5 = 100 hence b = 100.The reduction is of 5 patients in a week(25 patients reduction in 5 weeks = 5 a week), hence m = -5.

Then:

The equation is f(x) = -5x + 100.

For item 11, the slope is given by change in y divided by change in x, hence:

f(x): (1 - (1))/(3 -0) = 2/3 = 0.67.g(x) = (4 - 2)/(5 - 0) = 0.4.

Hence:

The correct option is: The slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x).

For item 12, we have that:

h(x) = -4x - 10.

Hence, when x = -5:

h(-5) = -4(-5) - 10 = 20 - 10 = 10.

Hence:

h(-5) = 10.

For item 13, we have that when x changes by 4, y changes by 8, hence the slope is:

m = 8/4 = 2.

When x = 1, y = 7, hence, considering the slope, when x = 0, y = 5, and:

The equation is f(x) = 2x + 5.

What is a translation?

A translation is represented by a change in the function graph, according to operations such as multiplication or sum/subtraction either in it’s range(involving values of y) or in it’s domain(involving values of x). Examples are shift left, shift right, shift down, shift up, vertical stretching, horizontal stretching, vertical compression, horizontal compression, reflection over the x-axis, reflection over the y-axis, and rotations by a determined amount(in degrees). All these translations have predetermined rules that we apply to the figures.

For this problem, the rule is given by:

y = f(x - 9).

The translation is x -> x - 9, hence:

The graph of y = f(x) will shift right 9 units.

The height of a triangle is three feet less than its base. If the area of the triangle is 275 square feet, find its base and height.

Answers

The base and height of triangle are 25 and 22 feet.

We are given the relation between base and height of triangle. Let us represent height with h and base with b. The equation relating the two quantities is as follows -

h = b - 3

Now, the area of triangle is given  by the formula -

Area = 1/2 × base × height

Keep the values in formula to find the base of triangle

275 = 1/2 × b × (b-3)

550 = b × (b-3)

b² - 3b - 550 = 0

b² + 22b - 25b - 550 = 0

b (b + 22) -25 (b + 22) = 0

(b + 22) (b - 25) = 0

b = -22 and 25

As the value of base can not be negative, so, the base of triangle is 25 feet.

Calculating height of triangle-

Height = Base - 3

Height = 25 - 3

Height = 22 feet

Hence, the base and height of triangle are 25 and 22 feet.

You decide to race your best friend around the track to see who's the better runner. You travel 400 meters in 8.2 seconds. Your best friend covers the same distance but does it in 7.8 seconds. Calculate the speed of each of you, and determine who is the father runner.

Answers

The best friend is the faster runner as his speed is 51.28 m/s while my speed is 48.78 m/s.

Speed is defined as the distance travelled by someone or something in unit time. The SI unit of speed is meters per second. The speed is calculated by dividing the distance travelled by the total time taken to travel said distance.  

Given the distance travelled by both of the friends is 400 meters.

Now The first friend travels this distance in 8.2 seconds:

Therefore speed is calculated by distance ÷ time

or, speed = 400 ÷ 8.2

or , speed = 48.7804... m/s

or, speed ≈ 48.78 meters per second

And the best friend travels this distance in 7.8 seconds:

Therefore speed is calculated by distance ÷ time

or, speed = 400 ÷ 7.8

or , speed =51.2820... m/s

or, speed ≈ 51.28 meters per second

Therefore by comparing both the speeds we can conclude that the best friend is the faster runner.

Over the next four days, Amanda plans to drive 160 miles, 235 miles, 185 miles, and 220 miles. If her car gets an average of 32 miles per gallon of gas, how many gallons of gas should she expect to use in all?
F. 25
G. 30
H. 35
J. 40

Answers

The correct option is F. 25.

The total number of gallons of gas Amanda will use to travel all the distances is 25.

What is defined as distance?

The amount of between two things, or the state of being far apart, is defined as distance. A five-foot distance between two tables is an example of distance. The difference of the two sides of an issue is an example of distance.

Now, as per the given question;

Amanda plans to drive 160 miles, 235 miles, 185 miles, and 220 miles.

Thus, the total distance ravelled by Amanada is;

= 160 miles + 235 miles + 185 miles + 220 miles

= 800 miles

Amanada's car has the average of 32 miles per gallon of gas.

Thus, the car will cover a total of 32 miles for each gallon of gas.

Thus,

The number of gallon of gas requires = Total distance/(distance travelled for one gallon of gas)

The number of gallon of gas requires = 800/32

The number of gallon of gas requires = 25

Therefore, the gas required to travel a total distance of 800 miles is 25 gallons.

Given two terms of each arithmetic sequence, find a₁ and d . a₃=32 and a₇ =-8

Answers

The common difference d is 6 and the first term a1 is 20.

How to find the a1 and d?

The difference between any two consecutive integers in an arithmetic progression (AP) sequence of numbers is always the same value.

The formula of Arithmetic progression is

a(n) = a1 + (n - 1)d

given that the two terms of arithmetic sequence,

a3 = 32 and a7 = -8.

now, find the common difference d.

a(n) = a1 + (n - 1)d

Let take a(n) = a7 and a1 = a3.

a7 = a3 + (7 - 3)d

a7 = a3 + 4d

now substitute the values of a6 and a4

-8 = 32 + 4d

-8 + 32 = 4d

d = 24/4

d = 6

so, the common difference d is 6.

then, find the term a1.

take the formula

a(n) = a1 + (n - 1)d

now, substitute a(n) = a3 and d = 6.

32 = a1 + (3-1)d

32 = a1 + 2d

32 = a1 + 2(6)

32 = a1 + 12

a1 = -12+32

a1 = 20.

so, the first term a1 is 20.

Hence, the common difference d is 6 and the first term a1 is 20.

Answers

The following set of numbers, 8, 15, and 17, can be the measures of the sides of a triangle, specifically a right triangle.

To know if a set of number is a valid measure of the sides of a triangle, it must follow the Triangle Inequality Theorem which states that the sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side, such that a + b > c, a + c > b, and b + c > a.

let a = 8, b = 15, and c = 17

a + b > c     8 + 15 > 17     23 > 17     True

a + c > b     8 + 17 > 15      25 > 15     True

b + c > a     15 + 17 > 8     32 > 8     True

To know what type of triangle based on the length of its side:

1. Take the sum of the squares of the two smaller sides.

8^2 + 15^2 = 289

2. Compare it to the square of the largest side.

17^2 = 289

289 = 289

If the sum of the squares of the 2 is larger than the square of the 3rd, it is an acute triangle.

if they are equal, it is a right triangle

if they are smaller, then it is an obtuse triangle.

Hence, 8, 15, and 17 can be the measure of the sides of a right triangle.

I want to add these two equations together and have one of the variables be eliminated.  The way both equations are written now, neither variable will drop out.  I see that 9 is a multiple of 3.  If I multiply the second equation all the way through by - 3, the s variable will be eliminated.

-3(5l +3s) -3(141)  Multiple everything by -3

-15l -9s = -423  Now I will add this to the original equation 7l + 9s = 273

7l + 9s = 273

-8l = -150  Divide both sides by -8

l = 18.75  This is the weight of the large box.

Plug in 18.75 to either of the ordinal equations to find the weight of the small box.

5l + 3s = 141

5(18.75) + 3s = 141  Distribute the 5

93.75 + 3s = 141  Subtract 93.75 from both sides

3s = 47.25  Divide both sides by 3

s = 15.75

Check:

Plug in 15.75 for s and 18.75 for l into both of the original equation to see if they equal.

7l + 9s = 273

7(18.75) + 9(15.75) =273

131.25 + 141.75 = 273  Checks

5l + 3s = 141

5(18.75) + 3(15.75) = 141

93.75 + 47.25 = 141

141 = 141 Checks

Joseph buys a subway pass for $55. Every time he rides the subway, money is deducted from the value of the pass. He rode the subway 5 times and $40 was deducted from the value of the pass. How much was deducted from Joseph's account for each ticket? Write a mathematical expression to represent this situation; then find the answer.

Answers

1) The mathematical expression that represents this scenario is T = 40/5.

2) The value of T in the equation is $8.

What is a mathematical expression?

A mathematical expression is a mathematical statement that has two different numbers (known or unknown) and at least one operation.

For instance, an equation is a mathematical equation showing that two variables are equal.

Data and Calculations:

The payment for a subway pass = $55

The number of subway rides = 5

The total amount deducted from the value of the pass = $40

This implies that each subway ride costs = $8 ($40/5)

If T is the cost of a ticket and the total cost incurred for 5 subway rides is $40, therefore T = 40/5.

Thus, the mathematical expression that represents this scenario is T = 40/5.

Find the eighth term of each geometric sequence. 2/3, 4/9, 8/27 . . . . .

Answers

The eighth term of the given geometric sequence is 256/6561.

What is a geometric progression?

A geometric progression, sometimes referred to as a geometric sequence in mathematics, is a series of non-zero numbers where each term following the first is obtained by multiplying the preceding one by a constant, non-zero value known as the common ratio.

Given: 2/3, 4/9, 8/27...

As we can observe, each successive term of the geometric sequence is 2/3 of the previous one.

Thus, r = 2/3  and a₁ = 2/3.

The formula used to find the nth term of a geometric sequence is given by: [tex]a_n=a_1(r^{n-1})[/tex]

For n = 8, [tex]a_8=\frac{2}{3}(\frac{2}{3})^7=\frac{2}{3}^8=\frac{256}{6561}[/tex]

Thus, the eighth term of the given geometric sequence is 256/6561.
