Answer:

His original speed was 60 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed formula is shown below:

speed = distance / time

For the first leg of the trip Mr. Blue drove at a speed of "x" mph, for a distance of 105 miles, therefore the time that took to complete the trip is:

time 1 = distance / speed

time 1 = 105 / x h

On the second leg of the trip Mr. Blue drove faster at a speed of "x + 10" mph, so the time it took him to complete the trip was 15 minutes less, therfore:

time 2 = time1 - (15/60) = (105/x) - 0.25 = (105 - 0.25*x)/x h

Applyint the time and speed from the second leg to the average speed formula we have:

x + 10 = {105/[(105 - 0.25*x)/x]}

x + 10 = 105*x/(105 - 0.25*x)

(x + 10)*(105 - 0.25*x) = 105*x

105*x + 1050 -0.25*x² - 2.5*x = 105*x

-0.25*x² -2.5*x + 1050 = 0 /(-0.25)

x² + 10*x - 4200 = 0

x1 = [-(10) + sqrt((10)² - 4*(1)*(-4200))]/2 = 60

x2 = [-(10) - sqrt((10)² - 4*(1)*(-4200))]/2 = -70

Since his speed couldn't be negative the only possible value was 60 mph.

The answer is <span>$103.

To determine </span><span> how much Eileen will spend on gasoline, first we need to calculate how many gallons she needs.
If she drives 850 miles and </span><span>her car gets 23 miles per gallon, we can use the proportion:
850 miles : x gallons = 23 miles : 1 gallon
Crossing the products:
x = 850 miles </span>× 1 gallon ÷ 23 miles
x = 36.96 gallons

Thus, Eileen needs 36.96 gallons of gas. If the cost per gallon of gas is$2.79, using the proportion:
36.96 gallons : x = 1 gallon : <span>$2.79
x = 36.96 gallons </span>× $2.79 <span>÷ 1 gallon
x = </span>$103.12 
x ≈ $<span>103</span>

The orbital period, P, of a planet and the planet's distance from the sun, a, in astronomical units is related by the formula P
anygoal [31]

Answer:

a for saturn is 9.55 astronomical units

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the distance from the sun.

Mathematically, from the question;

P = a^3/2

29.5 = a^3/2

a = 29.5^2/3

a = [3√(29.5)]^2

a = 9.55 in astronomical units

One way to measure whether the trees in the Wade Tract are uniformly distributed is to examine the average location in the north
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Null hypothesis be H₀ : μ = 100

Alternative hypothesis Hₐ : μ < 100

There is sufficient statistical evidence to suggest that the average location of Wade Tract is 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have;

Let our null hypothesis be H₀ : μ = 100 Average location of trees in the Wade Tract is 100

Our alternative hypothesis becomes Hₐ : μ < 100 at 95% confidence level

Proposed average location in Wade Tract, μ = 100

Sample mean, \bar x = 99.74

Standard deviation, s = 58

Sample size, n = 584

The t test formula is therefore;

t=\frac{\bar{x}-\mu }{\frac{s }{\sqrt{n}}}

Therefore, with df = 584 -1 = 583, and α = (1 - 0.95)/2 = 0.025

We have t_{\alpha /2} = -1.65

Plugging in the values into the t test formula, we have t = -0.108338, from which the p-value is given as p = 0.4569 which is much more than the value of α, therefore, we accept the null hypothesis as follows;

There is sufficient statistical evidence to suggest that the average location of Wade Tract = 100.
