A fox sees a rabbit 35 feet away and starts chasing it. As soon as the fox starts moving the rabbit sees it and starts running a

way at a speed of 40 feet per second. What should the fox's speed be to catch up to the rabbit?

The fox’s speed needs to exceed that of the rabbit to successfully catch up. Thus, the required speed for the fox is expressed as 35/t + 40.

The distance separating the rabbit from the fox is 35 feet.

The speed of the rabbit is 40 feet per second.

Fox's speed = F

To calculate a precise speed for the fox, a specific time for the pursuit must be provided.

Let’s denote the time as t.

Recall that:

Speed = distance / time

Distance = speed × time

The distance the rabbit moves away from the fox after time t will be:

35 + (40 × t) = 35 + 40t

The distance traveled by the fox after time t is: fox speed × t = F × t.

To catch the rabbit, both the fox and rabbit must cover the same distance:

Rabbit's distance at time t equals Fox's distance at that time.

35 + 40t = Ft

To determine F, the fox's speed:

Dividing both sides by t yields:

(35 + 40t) / t = Ft/t

35/t + 40 = F

<pThus, the speed of the fox should be: 35/t + 40

To find out the exact speed of the fox, a specific time value must be provided.

PIT_PIT [12445]

Assuming arcs are measured in degrees, let S represent the following sum:

S = sin 1° + sin 2° + sin 3° +... + sin 359° + sin 360°


By rearranging, S can be reformulated as

S = [sin 1° + sin 359°] + [sin 2° + sin 358°] +... + [sin 179° + sin 181°] + sin 180° +
+ sin 360°

S = [sin 1° + sin(360° – 1°)] + [sin 2° + sin(360° – 2°)] +... + [sin 179° + sin(360° – 179)°]
+ sin 180° + sin 360°          (i)


However, for any real k,

sin(360° – k) = – sin k


Thus,

S = [sin 1° – sin 1°] + [sin 2° – sin 2°] +... + [sin 179° – sin 179°] + sin 180° + sin 360°

S results in 0 + 0 +... + 0 + 0 + 0        (... since sine of 180° and 360° are both equal to 0)

Therefore, S equals 0.


Each pair within the brackets negates itself, leading the sum to total zero.

∴   sin 1° + sin 2° + sin 3° +... + sin 359° + sin 360° equals 0.          ✔


I hope this clarifies things. =)

A board 120 inches long is divided into 2 sections. If the ratio of the 2 sections is 3:5, what are the lengths of the sections?
Leona [12618]

Answer: D. 45 inches, 75 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To resolve this inquiry, we first need to divide the board's total length by the number of segments forming the two sections.

Given the ratio of 3:5, one section consists of 3 segments and the other of 5, making a total of 8 segments.

120 divided by 8 equals 15 inches for each segment.

Next, we multiply the length of each segment by how many segments each section has (3 and 5).

15 times 3 equals 45 inches.

15 times 5 equals 75 inches.

Leilah has not yet
PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:

40 * x - 600 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially, identify the variable (x) in the equation, representing the number of days it takes Leilah to review her flashcards. To study 600 out of her 2400 cards, having gone through 1800 already, we arrive at:

2400 - 1800 = 40 * x

rearranging leads to

40 * x - 600 = 0

This equation describes the situation above
