Two cyclists start from 98 miles apart and begin racing toward each
other. Three hours later, they have not yet met and the distance between
them is 2 miles. How fast is each of them biking if one bikes 3 mph
slower than the other?

Answers

Answer 1

The speed of one bicyclist was 14.5mph, speed of the other bicyclist was 17.5mph.

Let the speed of one bicyclist=x mph

Let the speed of the other bicyclist=(x+3) mph

Hence:

Speed of one bicyclist:

3x+3(x+3)+2=98

3x+3x+9+2=98

6x=87

Divide both side by 6x

x=87/6

x=14.5 mph

Speed of the other bicyclist:

x+3 mph

14.5 mph+3 mph

=17.5 mph

Inconclusion the speed of one bicyclist was 14.5mph, speed of the other bicyclist was 17.5mph.

A special type of door lock has a panel with five buttons labeled with the digits 1 through 5. This lock is opened by a sequence of three actions. Each action consists of either pressing one of the buttons or pressing a pair of them simultaneously.

Answers

There are several ways the door can be locked, these ways illustrate combination.

There are 3375 possible combinations

From the question, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{n = 5}[/tex] --- the number of digits

[tex]\mathbf{r = 3}[/tex] ---- the number of actions

Each of the three actions can either be:

Pressing one buttonPressing a pair of buttons

The number of ways of pressing a button is:

[tex]\mathbf{n_1 = ^5C_1}[/tex]

Apply combination formula

[tex]\mathbf{n_1 = \frac{5!}{(5-1)!1!}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{n_1 = \frac{5!}{4!1!}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{n_1 = \frac{5 \times 4!}{4! \times 1}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{n_1 = 5}[/tex]

The number of ways of pressing a pair is:

[tex]\mathbf{n_2 = ^5C_2}[/tex]

Apply combination formula

[tex]\mathbf{n_2 = \frac{5!}{(5-2)!2!}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{n_2 = \frac{5!}{3!2!}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{n_2 = \frac{5 \times 4 \times 3!}{3! \times 2 \times 1}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{n_2 = 10}[/tex]

So, the number of ways of performing one action is:

[tex]\mathbf{n =n_1 + n_2}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{n =5 + 10}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{n =15}[/tex]

For the three actions, the number of ways is:

[tex]\mathbf{Action = n^3}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Action = 15^3}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Action = 3375}[/tex]

Hence, there are 3375 possible combinations

Explain why it does not matter which point you choose when writing the
equation of the line in point-slope form, given two points.

Answers

Answer:

because, it will completely change the slope

Step-by-step explanation:

It does not matter which point you choose when writing the

equation of the line in point-slope form because the slope of the line remains same.

What is a slope ?

A slope can be thought of as rate of change of y axis with respect to x axis.

We have been asked in this statement that why it doesn't matter that which point we choose when writing the equation in point slope form.

Let us understand this with an example,Suppose we have two pair of points. (x₁,y₁) = (2,3) and (x₂,y₂) = (5,9).

We know slope(m) is = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁).

Slope(m₁) = (9-3)/(5-2)

               = 6/3

               = 2.

Now if interchange the points  (x₁,y₁) =  (5,9) and  (x₂,y₂) =  (2,3).

Slope(m₂) = (3-9)/(2-5)

                = -6/-3

                = 2.

So, even when interchanging the points the slope m₁ = m₂ this is the reason why it doesn't matter which point we choose.

each group takes = $120.50 / 3

each group have = $40.17

b) Total no of groups = 4

Total cash = $120.50

each group takes = $120.50 / 4

Each group have = $30.13

Answer:

x = 12.2 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two sides of the right triangle:

a = 6.1 mi

b = 10.6 mi

c = x

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the value of the hypotenuse, x:

c² = a² + b²

c² = (6.1)² + (10.6)²

[tex]\sqrt{(c^{2})} = \sqrt{37.21 + 112.36}[/tex]

2. -2

Answers

Answer: -2

Let’s try x = -12

1/2(-12) - 5 = -6

PEMDAS says to multiply first

1/2 x -12 = -6

So

-6 - 5 = -6

-6 - 5 = -11 not -6 so it’s not that

Now let’s do x = -2

1/2(-2) - 5 = -6

Again, you multiply first

1/2 x -2 = -1

-1 - 5 = -6 so it works
