Answer:time taken to run from his house to the park is 12 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance between his house and the park.

The speed at which Adrian ran from his house to the park is 5 meters per second.

Distance = speed × time

Time = distance/speed

Therefore, time taken to run from his house to the park would be

Time = x/5

The speed at which he ran back from the park to his house is 6 meters per second.

Time taken to run back from the park to his house would be

Time = x/6

The total time taken to run the whole journey was 22 minutes. Converting to seconds, it becomes 22× 60 = 1320 seconds. Therefore,

x/5 + x/6 = 1320

Multiplying through by 30, it becomes

6x + 5x = 39600

11x = 39600

x = 39600/11 = 3600 meters

Therefore, time taken to run from his house to the park would be

x/5 = 3600/5 = 720 seconds

Converting to minutes, it becomes

720/60 = 12 minutes

Air pressure may be represented as a function of height above the surface of the Earth as shown below. P(h)=PoE^-.00012h In this
AlexFokin [52]

The equation to find the air pressure (P(h)) at a height above sea level (h) is given by

P(h)=P_{0} e^{-0.00012h}

Where,

  • P(h) is the new pressure at height h
  • P_{0} is the air pressure at sea level, and
  • h is the height (measured in meters).

We want to know the new pressure that is 65% of P_0.  So we should substitute 0.65P_0 in P(h) (new pressure) to get the equation:

0.65P_0=P_0e^{-0.00012h}. Answer choice B is the correct one.

An automotive manufacturer wants to know the proportion of new car buyers who prefer foreign cars over domestic. In an earlier s
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

1,496 new car buyers

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample size n in Simple Random Sampling is given by

\bf n=\frac{z^2p(1-p)}{e^2}

where  

z = 1.645 is the critical value for a 90% confidence level (*)

p= 0.33 is the population proportion.

e = 0.02 is the margin of error

so  

\bf n=\frac{(1.645)^20.33*0.67}{0.02^2}=1,495.76\approx 1,496

<em>(*)</em><em>This is a point z such that the area under the Normal curve N(0,1) inside the interval [-z, z] equals 90% = 0.9</em>

It can be obtained in Excel or OpenOffice Calc with

<em>NORMSINV(0.95)</em>

The function below shows the number of car owners f(t), in thousands, in a city in different years t: f(t) = 0.25t^2 - 0.5t + 3.
Bingel [31]
The average rate of change (m) is the ratio of the change in function value to the width of the interval:
  m = (f(6) - f(2))/(6 - 2)

To compute this, we need to compute f(6) and f(2).
  f(6) = (0.25*6 -0.5)*6 +3.5 = 9.5
  f(2) = (0.25*2 - 0.5)*2 +3.5 = 3.5
Then the average rate of change is
  m = (9.5 - 3.5)/(6 - 2) = 6/4 = 1.5

The average rate of change is 1.5 thousand owners per year.

Shelby mixes a 25% bleach solution with 5 cups of a 10% bleach solution, resulting in a 20% bleach solution. The table shows the
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The value of x is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a system of equations to solve this.

Cups of 25% bleach solution used = x

Cups of 1-% bleach solution used = 5

Cups of solution we get = y

The first equation becomes:

x + 5 = y

Using the decimal forms of each percentage solution

25% solution for x cups = 0.25x

10% solution for 5 cups = 0.1(5)

20% solution for y cups = 0.2 y

The second equation becomes:

0.25x + 0.1(5) = 0.2y

So the system of equations is:

x + 5 = y

0.25x + 0.1(5) = 0.2y

Solve both equations simultaneously to find the values of x and y:

x = 10 cups

y = 15 cups
