Nakita rode her skateboard at an average speed of 8.8 feet per second for 0.2 miles. She wants to calculate how long it took her

to skateboard that distance. Nakita uses the formula d=rt (d = distance, r = rate, t = time), and she knows that 1 mile = 5280 feet and that 1 minute = 60 seconds. How many minutes did it take Nakita to skateboard 0.2 miles at her average speed of 8.8 ft/sec?

Answer: 2\ minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

d=rt

Where "d" is distance, "r" is rate and "t" is time.

Solved for the time "t":

t=\frac{d}{r}

The first step is to convert the distance from miles to feet.

Since 1\ mile=5,280\ feet, we get:

d=(0.2\ mi)(\frac{5,280\ ft}{1\ mi})\\\\d=1,056\ ft

Knowing that:

r=8.8\ \frac{ft}{s}

We can substitute values into t=\frac{d}{r} in order to find the time in seconds:

t=\frac{1,056\ ft}{8.8\ \frac{ft}{s}}\\\\t=120\ s

Since:

1\ minute = 60\ seconds

The time in minutes is:

t=(120\ s)(\frac{1\ min}{60\ s})\\\\t=2\ min

Only 35% of the drivers in a particular city wear seat belts. Suppose that 20 drivers are stopped at random what is the probabil
lesya692 [45]

Here we have a situation where the probability of a driver wearing seat belts is known and remains constant throughout the experiment of stopping 20 drivers.

The drivers stopped are assumed to be random and independent.

These conditions are suitable for modelling using he binomial distribution, where

where n=number of drivers stopped (sample size = 20)

x=number of drivers wearing seatbelts (4)

p=probability that a driver wears seatbelts (0.35), and

C(n,x)=binomial coefficient of x objects chosen from n = n!/(x!(n-x)!)

So the probability of finding 4 drivers wearing seatbelts out of a sample of 20

P(4;20;0.35)

=C(20,4)*(0.35)^4*(0.65)^16

= 4845*0.0150061*0.0010153

= 0.07382

It takes 40 min for a bus to travel the 36 miles from Framingham to Worcester. A car traveling from Worcester to Framingham move
MArishka [77]

The velocity of the bus is:

velocity (bus) = 36 miles / 40 min

velocity (bus) = 0.9 miles / min

 

Since the car is 1.5 times faster, so the velocity of the car is:

velocity (car) = 1.5 * 0.9 miles / min

velocity (car) = 1.35 miles / min

 

At the meeting point, the sum of the distance is equal to 36 miles. Therefore:

1.35 t + 0.9 t = 36

2.25 t = 36

t = 16 min

 

So they will meet after 16 minutes.

If p is a polynomial show that lim x→ap(x)=p(a
Lostsunrise [7]

Let p(x) be a polynomial, and suppose that a is any real number. Prove that

lim x→a p(x) = p(a) .

 

Solution. Notice that

 

2(−1)4 − 3(−1)3 − 4(−1)2 − (−1) − 1 = 1 .

 

So x − (−1) must divide 2x^4 − 3x^3 − 4x^2 − x − 2. Do polynomial long division to get 2x^4 − 3x^3 − 4x^2 – x – 2 / (x − (−1)) = 2x^3 − 5x^2 + x – 2.

 

Let ε > 0. Set δ = min{ ε/40 , 1}. Let x be a real number such that 0 < |x−(−1)| < δ. Then |x + 1| < ε/40 . Also, |x + 1| < 1, so −2 < x < 0. In particular |x| < 2. So

 

|2x^3 − 5x^2 + x − 2| ≤ |2x^3 | + | − 5x^2 | + |x| + | − 2|

= 2|x|^3 + 5|x|^2 + |x| + 2

< 2(2)^3 + 5(2)^2 + (2) + 2

= 40

 

Thus, |2x^4 − 3x^3 − 4x^2 − x − 2| = |x + 1| · |2x^3 − 5x^2 + x − 2| < ε/40 · 40 = ε.
