Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using any method, and fill in the blanks.

A pair of kids and a pair of adults decided to compete in a three-legged race. The kids got to start 15 yards ahead of the adults, since they had shorter legs. When they were told to start, the kids hobbled forward at a rate of 1 yard per second, and the adults hobbled after them at a rate of 4 yards per second. Soon they were side-by-side. How long did that take? How far did the adults go?


It took seconds for the adults to go yards and catch up to the kids?

Answers

Answer 1

A system of equations is simply a system that contains related equations of multiply variables

It took 5 seconds for the adults to go 20 yards and catch up to the kids

Let x represents the time of the race

The kids started 15 yards ahead, and they raced at 1 yard per second.

So, the kids' equation is represented as: [tex]\mathbf{k =15 + x}[/tex]

The adults' raced at 4 yards per second.

So, the adults' equation is represented as: [tex]\mathbf{a =4x }[/tex]

When they are side by side, we have the following equivalent equation

[tex]\mathbf{4x = 15 + x}[/tex]

Subtract x from both sides

[tex]\mathbf{3x = 15}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3

[tex]\mathbf{x = 5}[/tex]

It means that, it took the adults 5 seconds to catch up with the kids

Substitute 5 for x in any of the equations to calculate the distance travelled.

[tex]\mathbf{a =4 \times 5}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{a =20}[/tex]

It means that, the adults catch up with the kids at 20 yards

angle CAB is complementary with angle ABC. 90-53=37. This is a right triangle, meaning we can use SohCohToa to find side lengths. AC = 5 * sin(53) = 4.0, and BC = 5 * cos(53) = 3.0.

how can you tell if data is continuous or discrete

Answers

For me, it helps to ask this question: Does it make sense to apply the midpoint? If it doesn't make sense, then the data is discrete. Otherwise, the data is continuous.

Here's an example:

Let's say we are counting the number of people buying a movie ticket. So the numbers we care about are positive whole numbers 1,2,3,... It doesn't make sense to apply the midpoint to the values 1 and 2 to get 1.5; you can't sell half a ticket. Therefore the variable "number of movie tickets sold" is a discrete variable. There are gaps in the data.

On the other hand, if we were measuring the weight of various coins, then this variable is continuous. It's possible to have any positive number decimal number weight (eg: 2.275 grams perhaps). It makes sense to apply the midpoint to any two weights and get some other weight. We don't have to worry about sticking to whole numbers only. Unlike before, there aren't any gaps and we consider this number set to be dense.

One way you could remember the two is to keep this in mind: If you count it, then it's likely discrete. If you can measure it, then it's continuous.

There are probably exceptions to that rule, but for the most part it holds up I think.

Find the area of the square below when it is increased by a scale factor of 3

Answers

Answer:

To find the area of a square with the scale factor of 3, you multiply the side lengths by 3, so (3*L)*(3*W)= Area of your square.

Step-by-step explanation: I hope that this helps, ask questions in the comments below.(if you have any).

The area of the imagined square will be 90 units² by increased with a scale factor of 3.

What is the scale factor?

You must specify the extent of the shape's enlargement when describing one.

The scale factor is the ratio of two dimensions such that one figure is large and another is small.

As per the imagined square with dimensions of 10 units.

Applied the scale factor 3 in the length of the square(since it has only one dimension).

10 x 3 = 30 units.

Thus, each side of the square will be 30 units in length.

Hence "By adding a scale factor of 3, the envisioned square's area will expand to 90 units²".

Answer:

A. dP/dt = 200

The degree of the variable must be one for linear growth. Then the correct option is B.

What is differentiation?

The rate of change of a function with respect to the variable is called differentiation. It can be increasing or decreasing.

If P(t) is the size of a population at time t.

The differential equations have a linear growth in the size of the population. That means the degree of the variable must be one. And the equation of the population will be quadratic. That is given as

[tex]\rm \dfrac{dP}{dt} = 200t[/tex]

In this equation, the degree of the time (t) is one.

Thus, the correct option is B.

The graph of a quadratic function is always a parabola. The vertex of the parabola after transformation is (-1,-4).

What is a quadratic equation?

A quadratic equation is an equation whose leading coefficient is of second degree also the equation has only one unknown while it has 3 unknown numbers. It is written in the form of ax²+bx+c.

The graph of the two functions can be made as shown below. Therefore, the two functions are,

y=2x² → Drawn by the red line

y = 2(x + 1)² − 4 → Drawn by the blue line

Now, the vertex of a quadratic function or a parabola is the point at which the function or the parabola changes its slope, it's either the maximum of the function or the minimum of the function, depending on which side the parabola opens.

Hence, The vertex of the parabola after transformation is (-1,-4).

Determine whether the points p1 (6,9,7), p2(9,2,0), and p3(12,-5,-6) lie on the same line

Answers

Answer:

They are not.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first calculate the vectors joining the first point to the second and the first to the third, they will be useful later.

[tex]\vec v_1_2 = \vec P_2 -\vec P_1 = <3; -7; -7>\\\vec v_1_3= \vec P_2 -\vec P_1 = <6; -14; -13>[/tex]

At this point we have at least three options:

Write down the line between P1 and P2 in vector form, and then see if we can fit the third point in there.

Calculate the cross product between the two, if it's non-zero the three point are not in a line.

Try to determine the plane passing for the 3 points: if we find one they are not in a line.

Option 1:

The vector form of the lne between the firs two points is [tex]<6+3t;9-7t;7-7t>[/tex]. Let's check the coordinates of the third point:

[tex]x_3:\ 6+3t= 12 \rightarrow t=2\\y_3:\ 9-7t = -5 \rightarrow t =2\\7z_3:\ 7-7t=-6 \rightarrow t = 13/7\ne 2[/tex]

So the three points are not in a line.

Option 2:

Let's calculate the cross product of the two vectors we found at the beginning.

[tex]\vec v_1_2 \times \vec v_1_3 = det \left[\begin{array}{ccc}\hat i&\hat j&\hat k\\3&-7&-7\\6&-14&-13\end{array}\right] = \hat i [-7(-13)-(-14)(-7)] - \hat j[3(-13)-6(-7)]+\hat k [3(-14)-6(-7)] = 7\hat i -3 \hat j + 0 \hat k \ne 0[/tex]

Since the result is not the null vector, the three points are not in a line.

Option 3:

Let's write the plane (in the [tex]z= ax+by+c[/tex] form that contain the three points. If the thre points are in a line, means that we can find only two of these parameters.

[tex]P1: 7= 6a+9b+c\\P2: 0= 9a+6b+c\\P3: -6= 12a-5b +c[/tex]

Since you can determine a, b and c ( I ended up with [tex]a=-\frac {10}3; b=-\frac18; c= \frac{123}8[/tex] but I probably messed something in there) the thre points are not in a line

Leah took her friends for a ride in her hot air balloon. The function fff models the height of the hot air balloon above the ground (in meters) as a function of time (in minutes) after takeoff.
Plot the point on the graph of fff that corresponds to when the hot air balloon landed.

Answers

Answer: point (60,0)

Step-by-step explanation: the x-intercept (60,0) shows that at 60 minuetes the balloon is 0 meter above the ground

The coordinates of the function of height and time are (210, 0) and (60, 10). The graph is attached below.

What is function?

The function is a relationship between a set of potential outputs and a set of possible inputs, where each input has a single relationship with each output. This means that if an object x is present in the set of inputs (also known as the domain), then a function f will map that object to exactly one object f(x) in the set of potential outputs (called the co-domain).

Given:

r(t) = 210 - 15t

Calculate the height after 10 minutes as shown below,

The height = 210 - 15 × 10

The height = 210 - 150

The height = 60

At time 0 the height will be,

The height = 210 - 15 × 0

The height = 210 - 0

The height = 210 meters,

Thus, the coordinates will be (210, 0) and (60, 10)
