Two ants, Andy and Ashley, went to visit their friend. Andy crawled the whole way, but Ashley spent half of the way riding on a caterpillar, which was two times slower than crawling. Ashley spent the second half of the journey riding on a grasshopper, which was 5 times faster than crawling. Which ant got to their friend's house first, if they left at the same time?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Andy

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that x is Andy's speed, and d is the distance he traveled.

The time it takes Andy to reach his friend is d/x.

The time it takes Ashley to travel the first half is (d/2)/(x/2) = d/x.

The time it takes Ashley to travel the second half is (d/2)/(5x) = d/(10x).

The total time is d/x + d/(10x) = 1.1 d/x.

It takes Ashley 1.1 times longer to reach the friend.  Andy gets there first.

Write the equation of the parabola in vertex form. The vertex is
(-3,-4) and the parabola passes through The point (-1,0).

Answers

Answer:

y + 4 = (x - h)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

"vertex form" is y - k = a(x - h)^2.  Here, the vertex (h, k) is (-3, -4), and so we have:  

y + 4 = a(x + 3)^2.  To find the coefficient a, substitute -1 for x and 0 for y:

0 + 4 = a(-1 + 3)^2, or

4 = a(2^2).  Thus, a = 1, and the desired equation is

y + 4 = (x - h)^2

11x+4+∠VTU = 180

∠VTU = 180-11x-4

∠VTU = 176-11x

Then, using the triangle inequality, we know that ∠VTU+∠TUV+∠UVT = 180

3x+14+54+176-11x=180

-8x+244=180

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to make expressions for all the flags :

[tex]let \: blue \: flag = x[/tex]

Green flag cost 10 times the price of blue flag,

[tex]green \: flag = 10 \times x = 10x[/tex]

Red flag is half the price of green flag,

[tex]red \: flag = 10x \div 2 = 5x[/tex]

Orange is 10 dollars less than red flag,

[tex]orange \: flag = 5x - 10[/tex]

Assuming that the total cost of all 4 different coloured flags is $200. So you have to solve the value of x :

[tex]x + 10x + 5x + 5x - 10 = 200[/tex]

[tex]21x - 10 = 200[/tex]

[tex]21x = 200 + 10[/tex]

[tex]21x = 210[/tex]

[tex]x = 210 \div 21 = 10 \: dollars[/tex]

Then, you have to substitute the value of x into the expression of orange flag :

[tex]orange flag = 5x - 10[/tex]

[tex]orange flag = 5(10) - 10[/tex]

[tex]orange flag = 50 - 10[/tex]

[tex]orange flag = 40 \: dollars[/tex]

If we count the number of squares separating C from A (the other leg of the right angle triangle), we get: 3 units.

There is already a 60, so you do 180-60=120. x=120.

5. This is a parallel line, so you determine the opposite angle of 115, which is 65. That just becomes the x. x=65

9. It is similar to #5, You look at the opposite side of 30 (15+15) which is 150. That just comes to the other side which is x=150.

Use the formula S = 40,000(1.06)' to calculate your salary after 4 years. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

b. $44,944
C. $47,641
d. $50,499

Answers

Answer: 50,499

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you are calculating the salary after 4 years, 4 would be the value of T. you then just solve the equation, so because of PEMDAS you plug in 1.06 to the 4th and then multiply it by 40,000, resulting in 50,499.

D

All you have to do is plug in 4 for the exponent on the calculator andddd you should get 50499.0784
Since it’s asking to round the answer to the nearest dollar then your answer should be $50,499

The dollar value y (t) of a certain car model that is t years old is given by the following exponential function.

Find the initial value of the car and the value after 12 years.
Round your answers to the nearest dollar as necessary.
What’s the initial value ? Value after 12 years?

Answers

Answer: Initial Value is 18,500. Value after 12 years is about 2,283

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial value assumes you have just bought the car, which means 0 years have passed. If zero is substituted as an exponent in ANY NUMBER, it equals 1. Therefore, the value is 18,500.

The value after 12 years can be found by substituting 12 in the space of t. Then, use a calculator to approximate the value of 0.84¹² which is equal to about 0.12. DO NOT ROUND, HOWEVER. Then, the previous value is multipled by 18,500, equalling about 2,283.

10 = s

10cm. perimeter is simply adding up all the sides. so 10+10+10 is 30 giving you each side of a 3 sided figure

write a system of equations for the problem, and then solve the system. if a plane can travel 340 miles per hour with the wind only 260 miles per hour against the wind, find the speed of the wind and the speed of the plane in still air. please show step by step

Answers

Answer:

Plane speed = 40 m/s.

Wind speed = 300 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the plane = Y

And the speed of the wind = X

If the plane then travel 340 miles per hour with the wind, that means the plane and the wind are moving in the same direction. Therefore,

X + Y = 340 ..... ( 1 )

Also, 260 miles per hour against the wind. That is, the plane is moving opposite to the direction of the wind. Therefore,

X - Y = 260 ..... ( 2 )

Solve the two equations simultaneously by addition. That will eliminate Y

X + Y = 340

X - Y = 260

2X = 600

X = 600/2

X = 300 m/s

Substitutes X in equation (1)

300 + Y = 340

Make Y the subject of formula by collecting the like terms

Y = 340 - 300

Y = 40 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the plane is 40 m/s. While the speed of the wind is 300 m/s.
