The <u>equation </u>9(u-2) + 1.5u = 8.25 <u>models</u> the total miles Michael traveled one afternoon while sledding. u equals to <u>number of hours</u> walking up a hill and (u – 2) equals to number of hours sledding down the hill.

Solve this equation:

9(u-2) + 1.5u = 8.25,\\ \\9u-18+1.5u=8.25,\\ \\9u+1.5u=8.25+18,\\ \\10.5u=26.25,\\ \\u=2.5\ hours

Calculate the value of x to one decimal place. inches
kakasveta [241]

Use the law of cosines: c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\cos C

We have:

c=x\\a=3in\\b=7in\\C=54^o

substitute:

\cos54^o\approx0.5878\\\\c^2=3^2+7^2-2\cdot3\cdot7\cdot0.5878\\\\c^2=9+49-24.6876\\\\c^2=33.3129\to c=\sqrt{33.3129}\\\\c\approx5.8

Tia Veronica Pam and Lily are sisters. Tia is eight years old and she’s two years older than Pam. Pam is five years younger than
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Pam (6 years), Tia(8 years), Veronica(11 years) , Lily (15 years)

Step-by-step explanation:

Age of Tia = 8 years

______________________________________________

Given Tia is  2 years older than Pam

mathematically

age  of Pam + 2 years = age of Tia

age  of Pam + 2 years = 8 years

age  of Pam  = 8 years- 2 years = 6 years

______________________________________________

Given Pam is five years younger than Veronica

we can infer that age of veronica is age of Pam + 5 more years

mathematically

age  of Pam + 5 years = age of Veronica

6 years + 5 years = age of Veronica

age  of Veronica   = 11 years

______________________________________________

Given Veronica is four years younger than Lily

we can infer that age of Veronica is (age of Lily - 4  years)

mathematically

age of Veronica = age of lily - 4 years

11 years = age of lily - 4 years

age of lily = 11 years + 4 years = 15 years

age  of lily   = 15 years

______________________________________________

Arranging the list from youngest  to oldest we have

age  of Pam  = 6 years

Age of Tia = 8 years

age  of Veronica   = 11 years

age  of lily   = 15 years

Arranging sisters in order of youngest  to oldest

Pam, Tia, Veronica , Lily

Rubi tosses a quarter off the Main Street bridge into the St. John’s River. The distance, in feet, the quarter is above the wate
Masja [62]

Answer: a. 112 feet, b= 3 seconds, c= 256 feet, d = 6 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question:

Rubi tosses a quarter off the Main Street bridge into the St. John’s River. The distance, in feet, the quarter is above the water is modeled by the equation d(t) = −16t2+96t + 112, where t represents time in seconds.

Find the actual value(s) now to each question. Use the solution from the previous question to assist you with what you are actual solving for.

(a) From what height was the quarter tossed?

The quarter was tossed at 112 feet.

(b) How long does it take the quarter to reach its maximum height?

It will take ________ seconds for the quarter to reach its maximum height.

(c) What is the maximum height of the quarter?

The maximum height of the quarter is ________ feet.

(d) How much time does it take for the quarter to hit the water?

It will take ______ seconds for the quarter to hit the water.

a. Since the function is

d(t) = −16t² + 96t + 112,

The coin is tossed at 112 feet. This is because it is the the initial value of the function. It is the constant term and does not depend on any other variable.

b. To calculate the maximum height, we have to find vertex of the function, that has coordinates of h,k and,

h = -b/2a and k = f(h).

From the question, we are aware that,

a = -16, b = 96, c = 112

Using the values, the vertex will be:

h = -b/2a

= -96/(2 × -16)

= -96/-32

= 3

k = f(3)

= 16t² + 96t + 112

= -16(3)² + 96(3) + 112

= -144 + 288 + 112

= 256

The maximum height is therefore 256 feet, and time needed to reach the height will be 3 seconds.

c. The maximum height has been calculated and it is 256 feet.

d. The time it take for the quarter to hit the water will be:

= 3 seconds × 2 = 6 seconds

Since the maximum height took 3 seconds, it would take another 3 seconds to hit the water. This makes it 6 seconds

A manufacturing company produces valves in various sizes and shapes. One particular valve plate is supposed to have a tensile st
maxonik [38]

Answer:

z=\frac{5.0611-5}{\frac{0.2803}{\sqrt{42}}}=1.413    

p_v =2*P(z>1.413)=0.158  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the average tensile strength is different from 5lbs/mm at 10% of signficance

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=5.0611 represent the sample mean

\sigma=0.2803 represent the population standard deviation for the sample  

n=42 sample size  

\mu_o =5 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.1 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is different from 5, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu = 5  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 5  

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 but and we know the population deviation so is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

z=\frac{5.0611-5}{\frac{0.2803}{\sqrt{42}}}=1.413    

P-value

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(z>1.413)=0.158  

Conclusion  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.1 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to fail reject the null hypothesis, so we can't conclude that the average tensile strength is different from 5lbs/mm at 10% of signficance
