Amanda and Alexis live 4 miles apart. They decide to start walking toward each other’s houses at the same time. Amanda walks at

a rate of 3.5 miles per hour and Alexis walks at a rate of 4 miles per hour. How long will it take for them to meet? Round to the nearest hundredth of an hour. [Remember: D = (r)(t)]
Two boxes, one with Amanda and 3.5 m p h. To the right is the other box with Alexis and 4 m p h. Below, the boxes there is a bracket, halfway between, pointing to 4 miles.

Answer:

t = 0.53 hr

Step-by-step explanation:

We write expressions for the distances walked by these two people, sum them up and set the sum equal to 4 miles:

(3.5 mph)(t) + (4mph)(t) = 4 mi

Combining these terms:  

(7.5 mph)(t) = 4 mi

                               4 mi

Solving for t:  t = ---------------- = 0.53 hr

                              7.5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

1.\sum_{i=1}^{5}3i

The simplest method is "brute force".  Calculate each term and add them up.

∑ = 3(1) + 3(2) + 3(3) + 3(4) + 3(5)

∑ = 3 + 6 + 9 + 12 + 15

∑ = 45

2.\sum_{k=1}^{4}(2k)^{2}

∑ = (2×1)² + (2×2)² + (2×3)² + (2×4)²

∑ = 4 + 16 + 36 + 64

∑ = 120

3.\sum_{k=3}^{6}(2k-10)

∑ = (2×3−10) + (2×4−10) + (2×5−10) + (2×6−10)

∑ = -4 + -2 + 0 + 2

∑ = -4

4. 1 + 1/4 + 1/16 + 1/64 + 1/256

This is a geometric sequence where the first term is 1 and the common ratio is 1/4.  The nth term is:

a = 1 (1/4)ⁿ⁻¹

So the series is:

\sum_{j=1}^{7}(\frac{1}{4})^{j-1}

5. -5 + -1 + 3 + 7 + 11

This is an arithmetic sequence where the first term is -5 and the common difference is 4.  The nth term is:

a = -5 + 4(n−1)

a = -5 + 4n − 4

a = 4n − 9

So the series is:

\sum_{j=1}^{5}(4j-9)

Use the binomial theorem to show that 7^n + 2 is divisible by 3, where n is a positive integer.
masha68 [24]

By the binomial theorem,

7^n=(6+1)^n=6^n+n6^{n-1}+\dbinom n26^{n-2}+\cdots+\dbinom n{n-2}6^2+n6^1+1

Each term containing a factor 6 is divisible by 3, since 3 divides 6. The remaining 1 and 2 sum to 3, which is also divisible by 3.

The circumference of a tire is 96 inches. Determine the radius of the tire use 3 for pie
masya89 [10]

Circumference = 2*pi*radius.

Pi = 3.

2 * pi * r = 96

2 * 3 = 6.

2 * 3 * r = 96

Find r: 96/6 = 16.

2 * 3 *16 = 96.

r = 16.

use the drop-down menus to describe the key aspects of the function f(x) = –x2 – 2x – 1. the vertex is the . the function is inc
timurjin [86]

Answer:

The vertex of the parabola is the maximum value, i.e.,(-1,0). The function is increasing x<-1. the function is decreasing x>-1. the domain of the function is all real numbers. the range of the function is all real numbers less than or equal to 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

f(x)=-x^2-2x-1

f(x)=-[x^2+2x+1]

f(x)=-(x+1)^2                 ....(1)

The general vertex form of the parabola is

f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k           .....(2)

Where, (h,k) is vertex and a is stretch factor.

On comparing (1) and (2), we get

a=-1

h=-1

k=0

The vertex of the parabola is (-1,0). Since a=-1<1 so it is a downward parabola.

The axis of symmetry is x=-1. So, before -1 the function is increasing and after -1 the function is decreasing.

The vertex of a downward parabola is the point of maxima. So, the rang of the function can not exceed 0.

Therefore the vertex of the parabola is the maximum value, i.e.,(-1,0). The function is increasing x<-1. the function is decreasing x>-1. the domain of the function is all real numbers. the range of the function is all real numbers less than or equal to 0.
