Triplets Peter, Reeta and Nikita have two ways for getting home from school each day: cycle on a tandem bike or walk. The bike can carry either one or two riders at a time. Regardless of the number of people pedalling, cycling speed is 5 times walking speed. The triplets always leave school at the same time and always use the same path between school and home, whether walking or cycling. The school is 5km from home and their walking speed is 4 kilometres per hour.

d) On Thursday, it is Reeta's turn to walk. Peter drops Nikita off at a certain point leaving her to walk home, Meanwhile he returns to pick up Reeta and they cycle home together. If all three arrive home at the same time, how far from school are the drop-off ad pick up points.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Pick up point  is 1.43 km from the school and drop point is 3.57 km from the school  ( to the nearest hundredth).

Step-by-step explanation:

School <----------- 5 km ---------------> Home

_______ P _______ D _______        

      x  km          y km        5-x-y km

                     _______

                           y      

                     _________________

                                  5-x km

D is the point where Peter drops off N and P is the pick point x km from the school  where  Peter picks up R. He travels back y km to pick up R.

We work in times:

Time = distance / speed

The time that  R walks from the school to point P is the same  as Peter travels the distance  (x + 2y) km, so we have

x/5 =  (x + 2y)/20

20x = 5x + 10y

15x - 10y = 0     A

The time that N walks home equals the time that Peter travels y + 5 - x km.

So (y + 5 - x)/20 = (5 - x - y)/5

5y + 25 - 5x = 100 - 20x - 20y

15x  + 25y = 75

3x + 5y = 15   B

Solving equation A and B

15x - 10y = 0

3x + 5y = 15

Multiply the second equation by 2:

6x + 10y = 30

Adding this to the first equation

21x = 30

x = 30/21 = 1.4285

So  3(1.4285) + 5y = 15

y = 2.1428

Pick up x  = 1.43 km

and the drop is 1.43 + 2.14 = 3,57 km from the school

PLEASE HELP GIVING BRAINLIST!!! Given ΔXYZ is isosceles, what is XZ if the perimeter is 107 units and XZ = 1/2 XY?

Answers

XY+YZ+XZ=107

And XZ=1/2XY

XZ be x

XY=YZ=2x

Now

x+2x+2x=1075x=107x=21.4units

XZ=21.4units

Answer:

XZ = 21.4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

If  ΔXYZ  is an isosceles triangle then XY = ZY

(the dashes on the line segments indicate they are of equal measure)

If XZ = ¹/₂XY then

⇒ 2XZ = XY = ZY

If the perimeter is 107 units:

⇒ Perimeter of ΔXYZ = XY + ZY + XZ

⇒ 107 = 2XZ + 2XZ + XZ

⇒ 107 = 5XZ

⇒ XZ = 107 ÷ 5

⇒ XZ = 21.4 units

how would I solve y=9(x+3)(x-1) I need to find the vertex and the X intercepts​

Answers

Answer:

See below ~

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the x-intercepts :

The x-intercept's y-value is always 00 = 9(x + 3)(x - 1)x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = -3x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1So, hence the x-intercepts are : (-3, 0) and (1, 0)

Finding the vertex :

Expand the polynomial from factorized formy = 9(x + 3)(x - 1)y = 9(x² + 3x - x - 3)y = 9(x² + 2x - 3)y = 9x² + 18x - 27Vertex = (h, k)h = -b/2a = -18/2(9) = -1k = 9(-1 + 3)(-1 - 1)k = 9(2)(-2)k = 9(-4) = -36Vertex = (-1, -36)

Answer:

x-intercepts:  x = 1 and x = -3

vertex:  (-1, -36)

Step-by-step explanation:

x-intercepts

x-intercepts are when y = 0

⇒  9(x + 3)(x - 1) = 0

Divide both sides by 9:

⇒  (x + 3)(x - 1) = 0

Therefore:

⇒  (x + 3) = 0 ⇒ x = -3

⇒  (x - 1) = 0 ⇒ x = 1

Therefore the x-intercepts are x = 1 and x = -3

Vertex

Vertex form:  [tex]y=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex]  where (h, k) is the vertex

Completing the square

[tex]\begin{aligned}y & =ax^2+bx+c\\& =a\left(x^2+\dfrac{b}{a}x\right)+c\\\\& =a\left(x^2+\dfrac{b}{a}x+\left(\dfrac{b}{2a}\right)^2\right)+c-a\left(\dfrac{b}{2a}\right)^2\\\\& =a\left(x-\left(-\dfrac{b}{2a}\right)\right)^2+c-\dfrac{b^2}{4a}\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]y=9(x+3)(x-1)[/tex]

[tex]\implies y=9x^2+18x-27[/tex]

Completing the square to rewrite the equation in vertex form:

[tex]\begin{aligned}y & =9x^2+18x-27\\& =9\left(x^2+\dfrac{18}{9}x\right)-27\\\\& =a\left(x^2+\dfrac{18}{9}x+\left(\dfrac{18}{2(9)}\right)^2\right)-27-9\left(\dfrac{18}{2(9)}\right)^2\\\\& =9\left(x-\left(-\dfrac{18}{2(9)}\right)\right)^2-27-\dfrac{18^2}{4(9)}\\\\& =9(x+1)^2-36\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the vertex is (-1, -36)

The length of the SM parallelogram when the length of the rectangle is 15 cm and width is 8 cm is 8/5 units.

What is the area of a rectangle?

Area of a rectangle is the product of the length of the rectangle and the width of the rectangle. It can be given as,

[tex]A=a\times b[/tex]

Here, (a)is the length of the rectangle and (b) is the width of the rectangle

The length of the rectangle is 15 cm and width is 8 cm. Thus, the area of it is,

[tex]A=15\times8\\A=120\rm\; cm^2[/tex]

All three parts has equal area. Thus, the area of parallelogram NCMA is,

[tex]A_p=\dfrac{120}{3}\\A_p=40\rm\; cm^2[/tex]

MN is the height of the parallelogram. Thus,

[tex]A_p=h\times AS\\40=h\times15\\h=\dfrac{40}{15}\\h=\dfrac{8}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

since he was already on time on the first day, the question is reduced to the probability of being on time on exactly one of the next 2 days.

the probability to be on time on exactly one day means to be on time on one day and to be late on the other.

the probability to be late is the opposite of the probability to be on time, so

1 - 0.7 = 0.3

so, the probability for this combined event for one of the day combinations is

0.7 × 0.3 = 0.21

how many day combinations (1 day on time, the other late) can we have ? 2 (either on time on the first and late on the second, or late on the first and on time on the second).

so, we need to multiply this with the basic probability and get

0.21 × 2 = 0.42

so, b. is the right answer.

Hello all beautiful your day

A triangle has sides with lengths of 31 feet, 72 feet, and 78 feet. Is it a right triangle?
yes
no

Answers

Answer:  No

=========================================================

Explanation:

We have a triangle with these side lengths

a = 31b = 72c = 78

The order of 'a' and b doesn't matter, but we must have c as the largest value. Usually a,b,c are in ascending order.

Plug those values into the formula for the pythagorean theorem. If we get the same thing on both sides, then we have a right triangle.

[tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\\\31^2 + 72^2 = 78^2\\\\961+5184 = 6084\\\\6145 = 6084\\\\[/tex]

We have a false statement at the end, which means the original equation is false for those a,b,c values.

Therefore, we do not have a right triangle.

Instead, this triangle is acute since the [tex]a^2+b^2[/tex] side is larger than the [tex]c^2[/tex] side

---------------

Rules to have in your notebook or on a reference sheet:

[tex]\text{If }a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \text{ then it is a right triangle}\\\\\text{If }a^2 + b^2 > c^2 \text{ then the triangle is acute}\\\\\text{If }a^2 + b^2 < c^2 \text{ then the triangle is obtuse}\\\\[/tex]
