Stu hiked a trail at an average rate of 3 miles per hour. He ran back on the same trail at an average rate of 5 miles per hour.

He traveled for a total of 3 hours. The equation 3t = 5(3 – t) can be used to find the time it took Stu to hike one way. How long did it take Stu to hike the trail one way? How long is the trail? What is the total distance Stu hiked?

Let d =  the length of the trail, miles

Note that
distance = speed * time
or
time = distance / speed.

The time, t₁, to travel the trail at 3 miles per hour is
t₁ = d/3 hours
The time, t₂, to travel back at 5 miles per hour is
t₂ = d/5 hours

Because the total time is 3 hours, therefore
t₁ + t₂ = 3
d/3 + d/5 = 3
d(1/3 + 1/5) = 3
d(8/15) = 3
Multiply each side by 15.
8d = 3*15 =45
d = 45/8 = 5 5/8 miles or 5.625 miles
Total distance = 2*d = 11.25 miles or 11 1/4 miles.

t₁ = 5.625/3 = 1.875 hours or 1 hour, 52.5 minutes
t₂ = 5.625/5 = 1.125 hours or 1 hour , 7.5 minutes

Answers ;
Time to travel at 3 miles per hour = 1.875 hours (1 hour, 52.5 minutes)
Time to return at 5 miles per hour = 1.125 hours (1 hour, 7.5 minutes)
Total distance traveled = 2*d = 11.25 miles.

horsena [70]

Answer:  Expected value of the daily cost of operating the machine is 235.264.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

E[x]= 0.96 repairs per day

And Var[x] = 0.96 repairs per day.

C=160+40x^2

E[c]=160+40E[x^2]\\\\E[c]=160+40(Var[x]+(E[x])^2)\\\\E[c]=160+40(0.96+0.96^2)\\\\E[c]=235.264

Hence, Expected value of the daily cost of operating the machine is 235.264.

Define a function sinc(x) (pronounced "sink of x") by: text(sinc)(x)={(sin(x)/x text(if)\ x != 0, 1 text(if)\ x = 0.) (This func
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the Taylor series of sinc(x) we will use the taylor series of sin(x). We have that

\sin(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^n x^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!}

which is the taylor series expansion based at 0. Then for x\neq 0, by dividing both sidex by x, we have that

\text{sinc}(x) = \frac{\sin(x)}{x}= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^n x^{2n}}{(2n+1)!}

which is the taylor series expansion for the sinc function. Since the series of sine converges for every value of x. Then the taylor series of sinc converges for every value of x, but 0.

Which statement identifies how to show that j(x) = 11.6ex and k(x) = In (StartFraction x Over 11.6 EndFraction) are inverse func
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

<h2>It must be shown that both j(k(x)) and k(j(x)) equal x</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function  j(x) = 11.6e^x and k(x) = ln \dfrac{x}{11.6}, to show that both equality functions are true, all we need to show is that both  j(k(x)) and k(j(x)) equal x,

For j(k(x));

j(k(x)) = j[(ln x/11.6)]

j[(ln (x/11.6)] = 11.6e^{ln (x/11.6)}

j[(ln x/11.6)] = 11.6(x/11.6) (exponential function will cancel out the natural logarithm)

j[(ln x/11.6)] = 11.6 * x/11.6

j[(ln x/11.6)] = x

Hence j[k(x)] = x

Similarly for k[j(x)];

k[j(x)] = k[11.6e^x]

k[11.6e^x] = ln (11.6e^x/11.6)

k[11.6e^x]  = ln(e^x)

exponential function will cancel out the natural logarithm leaving x

k[11.6e^x]  = x

Hence k[j(x)] = x

From the calculations above, it can be seen that j[k(x)] =  k[j(x)]  = x, this shows that the functions j(x) = 11.6e^x and k(x) = ln \dfrac{x}{11.6} are inverse functions.
