Helga and Dora were solving the following problem together. A boat left Kyuquot and headed west at 15.5 km/h. A second boat left Kyuquot half an hour later and headed west at 18 km/h. For how many hours did the first boat travel before the second boat overtook it? Both girls used t to represent the time taken by the first boat. However, they disagreed on the equation to model the situation. Helga’s Equation Dora’s Equation 15.5t = 18(t + 0.5) 15.5t = 18(t - 0.5) a) Explain what the expression on each side of each equation represents. b) Which equation is correct? Explain. c) What is the solution to the problem?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

15.5t=18(t-0.5) is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

if the first boat travels t time then the second traveld t-0.5 time to take over

Answer 2

The expression on each side of each equation represent the distance travelled. Hence, 15.5t=18(t-0.5) is the correct answer

What is an expression?

Expression in maths is defined as the collection of numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

We are given that boat left Kyuquot and headed west at 15.5 km/h.

A second boat left Kyuquot half an hour later and headed west at 18 km/h.

Helga’s Equation 15.5t = 18(t + 0.5)

Dora’s Equation 15.5t = 18(t - 0.5)

Therefore, if the first boat travels t time then the second travelled

t-0.5 time to take over

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  √13 ≈ 3.60555127546

  "by hand": 3 4/7 or 398143/110425 or 3.6055 or 3 23/38

Step-by-step explanation:

Most on-line calculators, calculator apps for phone or tablet, and any spreadsheet can calculate this for you. The first attachment shows the result from the Go.ogle calculator.

Here, we describe 4 methods of approximating the root "by hand." That is, the calculations can be done with pencil and paper. They are easily within the capability of a 4-function calculator.

__

Method 1 -- Linear approximation

You can approximate it by hand in the following way.

√13 is between √9 = 3 and √16 = 4. As a first approximation, it is ...

  3 + (13 -9)/(16 -9) = 3 4/7 ≈ 3.57 ≈ 3.6

This is a linear interpolation between √9 and √16.

_____

Method 2 -- Babylonian method

The "Babylonian method" can be used to refine this approximation. For the next guess, average this number and the quotient 13 divided by this number.

  x = (3 4/7 + (13/(3 4/7))/2 = (25/7 + 13·7/25)/2 = (625 +637)/350 = 631/175

  x = 3 106/175 ≈ 3.6057 . . . . . . good to 3 decimal places

One more iteration will double the number of correct decimal digits.

  x = (3 106/175 + 13/(3 106/175))/2 = 398143/110425 ≈ 3.60555127915

(correct digits are highlighted)

_____

Method 3 -- "long division"

There is also a "long-division" method that develops the root one digit at a time. This is described in the second attachment, an extract from the NIST web site. For a number like 13, you would use 13.00 00 00 00 as the initial "dividend" to get a 4-digit root.

_____

Method 4 -- continued fraction

Once you realize that the root is between 3 and 4, you can write a "continued fraction" for the fractional part:

  3 +x = √13 . . . . . . where x is the fractional part of the root

  (3 +x)² = 13 . . . . . . square both sides

  x² +6x +9 = 13 . . . expand the square

  x(x +6) = 4 . . . . . . . subtract 9 and factor

  x = 4/(6 +x) . . . . . . write as an iterator (continued fraction)

At this point, we can say x = p/q for some integers p and q. Then the next iteration is ...

  p/q = 4/(6 +p/q) = 4q/(6q +p)

That is, successive approximations of x can be had by the transformation ...

  (p, q) ⇒ (4q, 6q+p)

Starting with the linear interpolation fraction x=4/7, the next refinements using this method are ...

  (p, q) = (4, 7) ⇒ (28, 46) = (14, 23)* ⇒ (92, 152) = (23, 38)

At this point, you have approximated the root as 3 23/38 ≈ 3.6053, accurate in the third decimal place. Convergence is clearly much slower than using the Babylonian method.

__

* We have reduced the fraction p/q = 28/46 to 14/23 in order to keep the numbers as small as possible. Similarly, 92/152 is reduced to 23/38.

First, let's find the radius, which is:

4/2 = 2

Now, we can plug in the values:

3.14(2)^2(3)

Do exponents first:

A coin has two sides, heads and tails, so if you flip it, you have a 50% chance to get heads and a 50% chance to get tails. 50% - 50% is an equal ratio, therefore having an equal chance of likelyhood to get heads.

write the slope intercept form of the equation of each line

Answers

Answer:

3. y = -3x + 2

4. y = 3x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form equation is given as y = mx + b.

3. First, using two points on the line, (0, 2) and (1, -1), find the slope (m).

Slope (m) = change in y / change in x = (-1 - 2)/(1 - 0) = -3/1

m = -3

Find the y-intercept (b):

The y-intercept (b) = 2 (this is where the line intercepts the y-axis)

b = 2

✅To write the equation, substitute m = -3 and b = 2 into y = mx + b

Thus:

y = -3x + 2

4. Using two points on the line, (2, 1) and (0, -5), find the slope (m).

Slope (m) = change in y / change in x = (-5 - 1)/(0 - 2) = -6/-2 = 3

m = 3

Find the y-intercept (b):

The y-intercept (b) = -5 (this is where the line intercepts the y-axis)

b = -5

✅To write the equation, substitute m = 3 and b = -5 into y = mx + b

Thus:

y = 3x + (-5)

y = 3x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - In selecting a sulfur concrete for roadway construction in regions that experience heavy frost, it is important that the chosen concrete has a low value of thermal conductivity in order to minimize subsequent damage due to changing temperatures. Suppose two types of concrete, a graded aggregate and a no-fines aggregate, are being considered for a certain road. The table below summarizes data on thermal conductivity from an experiment carried out to compare the two types of concrete.

Type            ni                xi                  si

Graded       42           0.486            0.187

No-fines      42           0.359           0.158

To find - a. Formulate the above in terms of a hypothesis testing problem.

b. Give the test statistic and its reference distribution (under the null hypothesis).

c. Report the p-value of the test statistic and use it to assess the evidence that this sample provides on the scientific question of difference in mean conductivity of the two materials at the 5% level of significance.

Proof -

a.)

Hypothesis testing problem :

H0 : There is significant difference between mean conductivity for the graded concrete and mean conductivity for the no fines concrete.

H1 : There is no significant difference between mean conductivity for the graded concrete and mean conductivity for the no fines concrete.

b)

Test statistic :

[tex]Z = \frac{x_{1} - x_{2} }{\sqrt{\frac{s_{1} ^{2} }{n_{1}} + \frac{s_{2}^{2} }{n_{2}} } }[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0.486 - 0.359 }{\sqrt{\frac{0.03496 }{42} + \frac{0.02496 }{42} } }[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0.127 }{\sqrt{0.001468}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0.127 }{0.0377}[/tex]

⇒Z(cal) = 3.3687

Z(tab) = 1.96

As Z (cal) > Z(tab)

So, we reject H0 at 5% Level of significance

p-value = 0.99962

Hence

There is significant difference in mean conductivity at the two materials.

Answers

Answer: (2) {(6,0), (5,0),(4,0)}

It is a function, where each value is associated with exactly one output.

Step-by-step explanation:

A relation is said to be a function if the first components of the ordered pairs are associated with exactly one value of the second components of the ordered pair.

(1) {(0,4), (2,4),(2,5)}

here 2 is associated with 2 different values of second component.

Thus it is not a function.

(2) {(6,0), (5,0),(4,0)}

It is a function, where each value is associated with exactly one output.

(3)  {(4,1),(6,2), (6,3), (5,0)}

It is not a function as 6 is associated with 2 different values of second component.

(4) {(0,4),(1,4), (0,5),(1,5)}​

It is not a function as 0 and 1 are associated with 2 different values of second component.
