Answer: a. I hike faster by $\frac{8}{7}$ times faster;

b. You meet after 3.5 hours;

c. I hiked 1.167 miles farther than my friend;

Step-by-step explanation: a) To determine who hiked faster, we have to find speed of each person:

I hike 2/3 mile every 1/4 hour, so:

speed = $\frac{2}{3}$ ÷ $\frac{1}{4}$

speed = $\frac{2}{3}$ .4 = $\frac{8}{3}$

speed = 2.667 mph

My friend hikes $2.\frac{1}{3}$ mph:

speed = $\frac{7}{3}$

speed = 2.334 mph

Comparing the speed, I hike faster than my friend by:

$\frac{\frac{8}{3} }{\frac{7}{3} }$ = $\frac{8}{3} . \frac{3}{7}$ = $\frac{8}{7}$ times faster.

b) Suppose time in hours is t.

I hiked a distance of $\frac{8}{3}$ t

My friend hiked a distance of $\frac{7}{3}$ t

They will meet when the sum of the distances equals 17.5 miles:

$\frac{8}{3}.t + \frac{7}{3}.t = 17.5$

$\frac{15}{3}$ t = 17.5

t = 3.5 h

After 3 and a half hours, my friend and I meet.

c) To know who hiked farther, we determine the distance my friend and I hiked when we met:

distance for me: $\frac{8}{3}$ t

distance when we met: $\frac{8}{3}$ .3.5 = 9.334 miles

distance for mu friend: $\frac{7}{3}$ t

distance when we met: $\frac{7}{3}$ .3.5 = 8.167 miles

When we met, I hiked <u>9.334 - 8.167 = 1.167 miles farther</u> than my friend.

A prescription calls for the following: Sodium citrate 5 g Tartar Emetic 0.015 g Cherry syrup ad 120 mL Using a balance with a s

ella [17]

Answer:

measure the volume of cherry syrup solution with Tartar Emetic = 22.5 mL

Hence, the correct quantity of tartar emetic to fill the prescription will be obtained

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mass of Sodium citrate = 5 g

Mass of Tartar Emetic = 0.015 g = 15 mg

Volume of Cherry syrup ad 120 mL = 120 mL

sensitivity = 4 mg

Error = 5%

Now,

The smallest weight that can be measured = $\frac{\textup{Sensitivity}}{\textup{Error}}\times100$

or

The smallest weight that can be measured = $\frac{\textup{4}}{\textup{5}}\times100$ = 80 mg

Now,

80 mg is dissolved in 120 mL of Cherry syrup according to prescription

( Thus,

1 mg is dissolved in $\frac{120}{80}\ mL$ of Cherry syrup according to prescription )

so to measure 15 mg of Tartar Emetic, measure the volume of cherry syrup

= $15\times\frac{120}{80}\ mL$

= 22.5 mL

Hence, the correct quantity of tartar emetic to fill the prescription will be obtained

What is the domain of validity for csctheta =start fraction 1 over sine theta end fraction? (1 point) all real numbers all real

dem82 [27]

We know the following relationship:

$csc(\theta)=\frac{1}{sin(\theta)}$

The domain of a function are the inputs of the function, that is, a function $f$ is a relation that assigns to each element $x$ in the set A exactly one element in the set B. The set A is the domain (or set of inputs) of the function and the set B contains the range (or set of outputs).Then applying this concept to our function $csc(\theta)$ we can write its domain as follows:

1. D<span>omain of validity for $csc(\theta)$ :
</span>
$D: \{\theta \in R/ sin(\theta) \neq 0 \} \\ In words: All \ \theta \ that \ are \ real \ values \ except \ those \ that \ makes \ sin(\theta)=0$

When:

$sin(\theta)=0$ ?

when:

$\theta=..., -2\pi,-\pi,0,\pi,\2pi,3pi,...,k\pi$

where k is an integer either positive or negative. That is:

$sin(k\theta)=0 \ for \ k=...,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,...$

To match this with the choices above, the answer is:

<span>"All real numbers except multiples of $\pi$ "

</span>
2. which identity is not used in the proof of the identity $1+cot^{2}(\theta)=csc^{2}(\theta)$ :

This identity can proved as follows:

$sin^2{\theta}+cos^{2}(\theta)=1 \ Dividing \ by \ sin^{2}(\theta) \\ \\ \therefore \frac{sin^2{\theta}}{sin^{2}(\theta)}+\frac{cos^{2}(\theta)}{sin^{2}(\theta)}=\frac{1}{sin^{2}(\theta)} \\ \\ \therefore 1+cot^{2}(\theta)=csc^{2}(\theta)$

The identity that is not used is as established in the statement above:

<span>"1 +cos squared theta over sin squared theta= csc2theta"

Written in mathematical language as follows:

</span> $\frac{1+cos^{2}(\theta)}{sin^{2}(\theta)}=csc^{2}(\theta)$ <span>

</span>

Now let the figure show a scale drawing of a park. The scale is 1 unit : 25 meters. What is the horizontal distance across the p

insens350 [35]

The question is missing the figure. So, the figure is attached below.

Answer:

C. 350 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Scale is given as:

1 unit : 25 meters

This means that 1 unit on the grid is equivalent to 25 meters in actual.

Now, from the figure, the horizontal distance across the park is 14 units.

1 unit = 25 meter

Now, we can find the actual distance using unitary method and thus multiplying 25 and 14 to get the actual distance across the park horizontally.

∴ 14 units = $25\times 14=350$ meters.

Therefore, the horizontal distance across the park is 350 m in actual.

So, the correct option is option C.

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of LB if L(8,5) and B(-6,2)<br><br> 10 points!!!

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

A, (1, 3+1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint formula for reference: m= {(x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2}

Plugging in the points we get: m= {(8 - 6)/2, (5 + 2)/2}

Now we simplify using PEMDAS. First step is parentheses.

m= {2/2, 7/2}

Simplifying again (and making 7/2 a mixed number), it becomes

m= {1, 3+1/2}

Hope this helps!
