Hector is competing in a 42 mile bicycle race. He has already completed 18 miles of the race and is traveling at a constant spee

d of 12 miles per hour when Wanda starts the race. Wanda is traveling at a constant speed of 16 miles per hour. Write and solve an equation to find when Wanda will catch up to Hector. Will Wanda catch up to Hector before the race is complete? Explain. At what constant speed would Wanda travel to catch up with Hector at the finish line? Explain.

Wanda reaches hector at 4.5h. Wanda can not reach hector before the race ends, since at the speed he is going (16m / h) he would reach when both are at mile 72 and the race is 42 miles.
Wanda needs to increase her speed to 21m / h to catch Hector at the finish line.I attach the answers.

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

3. Standard deviation is the square root of the variance.

4. Standard deviation is useful because it has the same units as the underlying data.

Step-by-step explanation:

3. In statistics, the dispersion in a given data with respect to its mean distribution can be determined or measured by standard deviation and variance. The standard deviation of a distribution can also be determined as the square root of variance.

4. Standard deviation is measured in the same units as that of the original data. Thus it has the same units as the underlying data.

Find the 89th term of 25,35,45
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The 89th term would be 895.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a pattern of adding 10 each time. Notice that the 5 at the end doesn't change and that the first number continues (i.e. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). All you have to do is add an 89 in front of the 5 and that is your answer, 895.

Kate packs snow into 5 identical jars. Each jar represents a different depth of snow. Kate then lets the snow in each jar comple
Xelga [282]

Answer:

A, C, E

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table you can see that the water depth cahnges

0.8-0.4=1.2-0.8=1.6-1.2=2.0-1.6=0.4\ in

for every

4-2=6-4=8-6=10-8=2\ in of snow (option B is false).

This means that the function modelling this situation is linear function (option A is true and option D is false). Let the equation of this function be y=ax+b. Then

0.4=2a+b,\\ \\0.8=4a+b.

Subtract these two equations:

2a=0.8-0.4,\\ \\2a=0.4,\\ \\a=0.2.

Hence,

b=0.4-2\cdot 0.2=0.

The equation of the straight line (the graph of linear function) is y=0.2x. (option E is true) This line passes through the point (0,0), because its coordinates satisfy the equation (option C is true).
