Answer:

The meaning of each statement is shown below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the given statements are

(a) c(0)=0

(b) c(3)=c(8)

(d) c(13)<c(12)

Let c(t) be the number of customers in a restaurant t hours after 8 A.M.

We need to find the meaning of each given statement.

(a) c(0)=0 means the number of customers 0 hours after 8 A.M (i.e., 8 A.M.) is 0.

(b) c(3)=c(8) means the number of customers 3 hours after 8 A.M (i.e., 11 A.M.) is equal to the number of customers 8 hours after 8 A.M (i.e., 4 P.M.).

(d) c(13)<c(12) means the number of customers 13 hours after 8 A.M (i.e., 9 P.M.) is less than the number of customers 12 hours after 8 A.M (i.e., 8 P.M.).

Q3. a cyclist bikes x distance at 10 miles per hour and returns over the same path at 8 miles per hour. what is the cyclist's av

Sladkaya [172]

If he bikes for 10 miles per hour and 8 miles per hour for the same distance x miles, he went 10 miles per hour for x/10 hours, as Distance = Rate*Time and on the way back he would go for x/8 hours. So then he went 2x distance, in x/8 + x/10 hours. Since x/8 + x/10 = 10x/80 + 8x/80 = 18x/80 = 9x/40, he went 2x miles in 9x/40 hours. this can be converted into a rate with the above equation Distance = Rate*Time, so 2x=(9x/40) * Rate, thus we divide by 9x/40 on both sides to get 80x/9x = Rate, the x cancels out, and we get 80/9 Miles per hour.

A student wants to know how far above the ground the top of a leaning flagpole is. At high noon, when the sun is almost directl

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

15.43 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, one should use the concept of similar triangles.

The pole's shadow and the distance to the ground (x) form a similar triangle to the distance of the plumb bob from the base and the length of the plumb bob, respectively. Note that we do not need to know the measurements of the third side of the triangles to solve the problem. Therefore, the distance of the top of the pole to the ground is:

$14 in = 1.1667 ft$

$1.1667x=6*3\\x = 15.43$

The distance of the top of the pole to the ground is 15.43 ft.

Circle A and circle B are congruent. CD is a chord of both circles. If AB = 8 ft and CD = 6 ft, how long is a radius?

bazaltina [42]

Let us say that the intersection point of lines AB and CD is called point E. The lines AB and CD are perpendicular to each other which also means that the triangle CEB is a right triangle.

Where the line CB is the radius of the circle while the side lengths are half of the whole line segment:

EB = 0.5 AB = 0.5 (8 ft) = 4 ft

CE = 0.5 CD = 0.5 (6 ft) = 3 ft

Now using the hypotenuse formula since the triangle is right triangle, we can find for the radius or line CB:

CB^2 = EB^2 + CE^2

CB^2 = (4 ft)^2 + (3 ft)^2

CB^2 = 16 ft^2 + 9 ft^2

CB^2 = 25 ft^2

<span>CB = 5 ft = radius</span>

Two friends race against each other in 100-meter and 800-meter races. Of the 200 races they ran this year, the wins, losses, and

sveta [45]

1. <span>What percentage of all the races are ties?
If</span>The chance for the race become tie is 10% for 100m and 25% for 800m. Assuming that the 200 race is divided equally, then there would be 100 race of 100-m and 100 race of 800-m.
The number of the event of ties would be:
(100*10% + 100*25%)/ 200= 35/200= 17.5%

2. If someone wins the race today, is it more likely for A to win or B to win? How much more likely?The event should be independent because the two events should not influence each other. That means the probability will not change and no one becomes more likely to win the next race.

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The store's profit is the sum of the profit on each player multiplied by the number of players. That is, the profit on standard players is 69s, and that on portable players is 85p. The manager wants the sum of these to be more than 415.
