Answer:

<em>55mph . None of the options are correct </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

If the speed varies inversely as the time it takes to drive, then v ∝ 1/t. where;

v is the speed

t is the time taken

Hence;

v = k/t with k being the constant of proportionality.

Since it takes Kris 5 hours when driving at 55 mph, we will substitute v = 55mph and t = 5 hours. into the equation above to get the value of k as shown:

55 = k/5

Cross multiply

k = 55*5

k = 275

Hence, to calculate the speed it will Martin to drive for 5 hours, we will substitute k = 275 and t = 5 into the original equation v = k/t as shownl

v = 275/5

v = 55 mph

<em>Hence, we can conclude that Martin will also need to drive at a speed of 55mph if he wants to take 5hours.</em>

Answer:1/12 left

Step-by-step explanation: you should switch both into the same denominator for the fractions so that would turn into 3/12 and 8/12 then add them up to get 11/12 so he has 1/12 left

Find the first three iterates of the function f(z) = 2z + (3 - 2i) with an initial value of

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

a. 5 + 2i, 13 + 2i, 29 + 2i

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll use the formula f(z) = 2z + (3 - 2i) for each iteration. The output of the first iteration will be come the input of the second iteration, and so on.

So, we start with z0 = 1 + 2i and we plug that into the base equation:

z0 = 1 + 2i ==> f(z) = 2(1 + 2i) + 3 - 2i = 2 + 4i + 3 - 2i = 5 + 2i

z1 = 5 + 2i ==> f(z) = 2(5 + 2i) + 3 - 2i = 10 + 4i + 3 - 2i = 13 + 2i

z2 = 13 + 2i ==> f(z) = 2(13 + 2i) + 3 - 2i = 26 + 4i + 3 - 2i = 29 + 2i

z3 = 29 + 2i

Let X denote the temperature (degree C) and let Y denote thetime in minutes that it takes for the diesel engine on anautomobile

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given $f_{XY} (x,y) = c(4x + 2y +1) ; 0 < x < 40\,and\, 0 < y$

we know that $\int\limits^\infty_{-\infty}\int\limits^\infty_{-\infty} {f(x,y)} \, dxdy=1$

therefore $\int\limits^{40}_{-0}\int\limits^2_{0} {c(4x+2y+1)} \, dxdy=1$

on integrating we get

c=(1/6640)

$P(X>20, Y>=1)=\int\limits^{40}_{20}\int\limits^2_{1} {\frca{1}{6640}(4x+2y+1)} \, dxdy$

on doing the integration we get

=0.37349

marginal density of X is

$f(x)=\int\limits^2_{0} {\frca{1}{6640}(4x+2y+1)} \, dy$

on doing integration we get

f(x)=(4x+3)/3320 ; 0<x<40

marginal density of Y is

$f(y)=\int\limits^{40}_{0} {\frca{1}{6640}(4x+2y+1)} \, dx$

on doing integration we get

$f(y)=\frac{(y+40.5)}{83}$

$P(01)=\int\limits^{40}_{0}\int\limits^2_{1} {\frca{1}{6640}(4x+2y+1)} \, dxdy$

solve the above integration we get the answer

$P(X>20, 0$

solve the above integration we get the answer

Two variables are said to be independent if there jointprobability density function is equal to the product of theirmarginal density functions.

we know f(x,y)

In the (c) bit we got f(x) and f(y)

f(x,y)cramster-equation-2006112927536330036287f(x).f(y)

therefore X and Y are not independent

Emily wants to hang a painting in a gallery. The painting and frame must have an area of 31 square feet. The painting is 5 feet

seropon [69]

Area=legnth times width=31
the frame must go around the frame with equal legnth, x
so
the total area (meaning the frame +picture) is 5+x by 6+x
31=(5+x)(6+x)
expand
31=30+11x+x^2
minus 31 both sides
0=-1+11x+x^2
x^2+11x-1=0

answer is third one
