The company charges $1.40 per mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of 6.5 miles ride = $12.00

Cost of 9 mile ride = $15.50

Let,

x be the cost per mile.

y be the pick up fee.

Total cost = Cost per mile*distance + pick up fee

According to statement;

6.5x+y=12.00 Eqn 1

9x+y=15.50 Eqn 2

Subtracting Eqn 1 from Eqn 2

$(9x+y)-(6.5x+y)=15.50-12.00\\9x+y-6.5x-y=3.50\\2.5x=3.50$

Dividing both sides by 2.50

$\frac{2.50x}{2.50}=\frac{3.50}{2.50}\\x=1.40$

The company charges $1.40 per mile.

Shelly spent 10 minutes jogging and 20 minutes cycling and burned 300 calories. The next day, Shelly swapped times and did 20 mi

atroni [7]

Answer:

10 calories were burned for each minute of jogging and 10 calories were burned for each minute of cycling.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "j" the amount of calories Shelly burned for each minute of jogging and "c" the amount of calories Shelly burned for each minute of cycling.

Set up a system of equations:

$\left \{ {{10j+20c=300} \atop {20j+10c=300}} \right.$

You can apply the Elimination method: multiply the first equation by -2, then add the equations and solve for "c":

$\left \{ {{-20j-40c=-600} \atop {20j+10c=300}} \right.\\...............................\\-30c-300\\\\c=10$

Now, substitute the value of "c" into any original equation and solve for "j":

$10j+20(10)=300\\\\10j=300-200\\\\10j=100\\\\j=10$

Use the Divergence Theorem to evaluate S F · dS, where F(x, y, z) = z2xi + y3 3 + sin z j + (x2z + y2)k and S is the top half of

kifflom [539]

Looks like we have

$\vec F(x,y,z)=z^2x\,\vec\imath+\left(\dfrac{y^3}3+\sin z\right)\,\vec\jmath+(x^2z+y^2)\,\vec k$

which has divergence

$\nabla\cdot\vec F(x,y,z)=\dfrac{\partial(z^2x)}{\partial x}+\dfrac{\partial\left(\frac{y^3}3+\sin z\right)}{\partial y}+\dfrac{\partial(x^2z+y^2)}{\partial z}=z^2+y^2+x^2$

By the divergence theorem, the integral of $\vec F$ across $S$ is equal to the integral of $\nabla\cdot\vec F$ over $R$ , where $R$ is the region enclosed by $S$ . Of course, $S$ is not a closed surface, but we can make it so by closing off the hemisphere $S$ by attaching it to the disk $x^2+y^2\le1$ (call it $D$ ) so that $R$ has boundary $S\cup D$ .

Then by the divergence theorem,

$\displaystyle\iint_{S\cup D}\vec F\cdot\mathrm d\vec S=\iiint_R(x^2+y^2+z^2)\,\mathrm dV$

Compute the integral in spherical coordinates, setting

$\begin{cases}x=\rho\cos\theta\sin\varphi\\y=\rho\sin\theta\sin\varphi\\z=\rho\cos\varphi\end{cases}\implies\mathrm dV=\rho^2\sin\varphi\,\mathrm d\rho\,\mathrm d\theta\,\mathrm d\varphi$

so that the integral is

$\displaystyle\iiint_R(x^2+y^2+z^2)\,\mathrm dV=\int_0^{\pi/2}\int_0^{2\pi}\int_0^1\rho^4\sin\varphi\,\mathrm d\rho\,\mathrm d\theta\,\mathrm d\varphi=\frac{2\pi}5$

The integral of $\vec F$ across $S\cup D$ is equal to the integral of $\vec F$ across $S$ plus the integral across $D$ (without outward orientation, so that

$\displaystyle\iint_S\vec F\cdot\mathrm d\vec S=\frac{2\pi}5-\iint_D\vec F\cdot\mathrm d\vec S$

Parameterize $D$ by

$\vec s(u,v)=u\cos v\,\vec\imath+u\sin v\,\vec\jmath$

with $0\le u\le1$ and $0\le v\le2\pi$ . Take the normal vector to $D$ to be

$\dfrac{\partial\vec s}{\partial v}\times\dfrac{\partial\vec s}{\partial u}=-u\,\vec k$

Then we have

$\displaystyle\iint_D\vec F\cdot\mathrm d\vec S=\int_0^{2\pi}\int_0^1\left(\frac{u^3}3\sin^3v\,\vec\jmath+u^2\sin^2v\,\vec k\right)\times(-u\,\vec k)\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv$

$=\displaystyle-\int_0^{2\pi}\int_0^1u^3\sin^2v\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv=-\frac\pi4$

Finally,

$\displaystyle\iint_S\vec F\cdot\mathrm d\vec S=\frac{2\pi}5-\left(-\frac\pi4\right)=\boxed{\frac{13\pi}{20}}$

To order a class ring, students must decide on a gold, silver, or white gold band and one of 10 stones. They must also choose fr

muminat

From the given, the student may choose from 3 bands, 10 stones, and 25 activity symbols. The number of rings that the students may make from these is the product of these numbers.
number of way = 3 x 10 x 25 = 750
Thus, the answer is letter C. 750.
