Two students walk in the same direction along a straight path, at a constant speed - one at .90 m/s and the other at 1.90 m/s.a.

) assuming that they start at the same point ant the same time, how much sooner does the faster arrive at a destination 780 m away?b.) how far would the students have to walk so that the faster student arrives 5.50 min before the slower student?

Answer:

a) The faster student arrives 7 minutes and 36 seconds earlier

b) They would need to walk 598.51 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = Distance / Time

Rearranged for time:

Time = Distance / Speed

First student:

Time = 780 m / 0.90 m/s = 866.66 seconds

Second student:

Time = 780 m / 1.90 m/s = 410.52 seconds

Difference = 866.66 - 410.52 = 456.14 seconds

Converting to minutes:

456.14 seconds / 60 = 7 minutes 36 seconds

Using Distance = Speed × Time

Given: Speed₁ × Time₁ = Speed₂ × Time₂

And that Time₁ = Time₂ + 5.50 minutes

5.50 minutes = 350 seconds

Substituting:

Time₂ = (Speed₁ × (Time₂ + 350)) / Speed₂

Time₂ = 0.9 × (Time₂ + 350) / 1.9

Time₂ = 0.4737 × (Time₂ + 350)

Time₂ = 0.4737 Time₂ + 165.79 seconds

Time₂ - 0.4737 Time₂ = 165.79 seconds

0.5263 Time₂ = 165.79 seconds

Time₂ = 165.79 / 0.5263 = 315.01 seconds

Distance = 1.9 × 315.01 = 598.51 meters

Leona [12618]

Answer:

B - Taking the cube root of y

Step-by-step explanation:

The information provided is:

y = ax^3

Using that information

we now find the cube root of y

The computation is as follows:

y1/3 = a1/3 × x

Thus

From the above equation, a linear relationship can be observed between the cube root of y and x.

Consequently, option B is the correct choice.

Therefore, the other options are incorrect.

Suppose we want to choose 2 objects, without replacement, from the 5 objects pencil, eraser, desk, chair, and lamp. (a)How many
Inessa [12570]

Answer:

a) 20 different arrangements

b) 10 different arrangements

Step-by-step explanation:

When the order of selection is significant, we utilize permutations to determine the number of arrangements; if the order does not matter, we apply combinations.

For part a)

We must select 2 items from a collection of 5, considering that order matters. This is a permutation scenario, thus we calculate 5P2.

The general formula for permutations of n items taken r at a time is:

nPr=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}

By inserting n=5 and r=2, we have:

5P2=\frac{5!}{(5-2)!} =20

Hence, it is possible to select 2 items from a group of 5 when the selection order is relevant.

For part b)

Since the order of selection is unimportant, we use combinations to calculate the number of ways of selecting 2 items from 5, represented as 5C2.

The general formula for combinations of n items taken r at a time is:

nCr=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Plugging n=5 and r=2 into the formula results in:

5C2=\frac{5!}{2!(5-2)!} =10

This demonstrates that we can choose 2 items from a collection of 5 when the order of selection is not significant.

Threatened monarch butterflies are monitored by measuring the area occupied by overwintering butterflies in Mexico. According to
Leona [12618]

Answer:

14.2 hectares

Step-by-step explanation:

Fund Mexico reports that monarch butterflies occupied 1.13 hectares in one winter and 4.01 hectares the next winter (one year later)

The Geometric growth formula is

(Pt/ Po)^1/t

Where Pt = Size after t years = 4.01 hectares

Po = Initial size = 1.13

t = time = 1

=( 4.01/1.13 )^1/1

= 3.5486725664

Thus, the geometric growth rate is 3.5486725664.

The area they will occupy in hectares after one more year = Current area × Geometric growth rate

= 4.01 ×3.5486725664

= 14.230176991 hectares

Approximately equal to 14.2
