Answer: 300 hrs

The time spent behind the wheel by the average Raleigh driver in 2016 is 300 hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

Raleigh driver spent 18 hours in traffic jams

And it accounts for 6% of their total driving time

Now

let total driving time be = x hrs

so

6% of total driving time = 18 hrs

6/100 × x = 18hrs

6x = 1800 hrs

x = 1800/6

x = 300 hrs

∴ The time spent behind the wheel by the average Raleigh driver in 2016 is 300 hrs

Consider the conjecture that the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is ALWAYS irrational. To try to prove this co

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

B) irrational. Since an irrational number cannot equal a rational number.

The premise that c is rational is false

Step-by-step explanation:

The assumption that c is rational means that the difference c-a must be rational. That difference is b, so b=c-a would mean that b must be rational. But b is defined to be irrational. Since an irrational number cannot equal a rational number, a contradiction arises and the assumption that c is rational must be false. Therefore the sum (c) must be irrational. (B)

Jenny multiplies the square root of her favorite positive integer by $\sqrt{2}$. Her product is an integer. a) Name three number

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Part a) $2,50,18$

Part b) When Jenny divides the square root of her favorite positive integer by $\sqrt{2}$ , she gets an integer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-------> the favorite positive integer

Part a)

1) For $x=2$

$\sqrt{2}*\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{4}=2$ -----> the product is an integer

so

The number $x=2$ could be Jenny favorite positive integer

2) For $x=50$

$\sqrt{50}*\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{100}=10$ -----> the product is an integer

so

The number $x=50$ could be Jenny favorite positive integer

3) For $x=18$

$\sqrt{18}*\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{36}=6$ -----> the product is an integer

so

The number $x=18$ could be Jenny favorite positive integer

Part B)

1) For $x=2$

$\sqrt{2}/\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{1}=1$ -----> the result is an integer

2) For $x=50$

$\sqrt{50}/\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{25}=5$ -----> the result is an integer

3) For $x=18$

$\sqrt{18}/\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{9}=3$ -----> the result is an integer

Therefore

When Jenny divides the square root of her favorite positive integer by $\sqrt{2}$ , she gets an integer

A rectangular prism must have a base with an area of no more than 27 square meters. The width of the base must be 9 meters less

den301095 [7]

Answer:

The maximum height of the prism is $12\ m$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the height of the prism

we know that

the area of the rectangular base of the prism is equal to

$A=L*W$

$A\leq 27\ m^{2}$

so

$L*W\leq 27$ -------> inequality A

$W=x-9$ ------> equation B

$L=W+6$ -----> equation C

Substitute equation B in equation C

$L=(x-9)+6$

$L=x-3$ ------> equation D

Substitute equation B and equation D in the inequality A

$(x-3)*(x-9)\leq 27$ -------> using a graphing tool to solve the inequality

The solution for x is the interval----------> $[0,12]$

see the attached figure

but remember that

The width of the base must be $9$ meters less than the height of the prism

so

the solution for x is the interval ------> $(9,12]$

The maximum height of the prism is $12\ m$
