A train covered the distance of 400 km between A and B at a certain speed. On the way back it covered 2/5 of the distance at that same speed and then it decreased its speed by 20 km/hour. Find the speed of the train at the end of its journey from B back to A, if the entire trip took 11 hours.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

s - 20 = 60 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

The distances are the same going there and coming back.

So

Givens

d = 400

2/5 * d = 2/5 * 400 = 160

The rest of the trip back = 400 - 160 = 240

Equation

400/(s) + 160/s + 240/(s - 20) = 11 hours.

Solution

distance / speed = time or

d/s = time

Multiply through by s*(s - 20)

400*(s - 20) + 160*(s - 20) + 240s = 11*s*(s - 20)       Remove the brackets.

400s - 8000 + 160s - 3200 + 240s= 11(s^2 - 20s)   Collect like terms on the left.

560s - 11200 + 240s = 11(s^2 - 20s)                          Remove the brackets on the rt.

800s - 11200 = 11s^2 - 220s                                   Switch and add 220s

11s^2 - 220s + 220s = 800s +220s - 11200          Combine

11s^2 = 1020s - 11200                                            Put everything on the left.

11s^2 - 1020s + 11200 = 0

this quadratic factors into

(11s - 140 )(s - 80) = 0

You have 2 solutions

11s - 140 = 0

11s = 140

s = 140/11

s = 12.727272... This solution won't work because the speed has no room to drop down 20 km / hour

===========

s - 80 = 0

s = 80 km hour

But that is not the answer

=======

The answer you want is s - 20 which is 60 km/hr.

In ΔSTU, s = 1.6 cm, u = 9.5 cm and ∠U=24°. Find all possible values of ∠S, to the nearest 10th of a degree.

Answers

Final answer:

In triangle STU, the possible values for ∠S, derived by using the law of sines, are approximately 10.2° and 169.8°.

Explanation:

The student wants to find all possible values of ∠S in ΔSTU, s=1.6 cm, u = 9.5 cm and ∠U=24°. This is a problem involving the laws of sines and cosines in trigonometry. By using the law of sines, we can find ∠S = sin⁻¹ ((sin U * s) / u) ≈ 10.2° or 169.8° (since sinx is positive in both the 1st and 2nd quadrants). It is important to note that ∠S and ∠U are not complimentary angles in a right triangle, therefore, both possible values of ∠S are valid if they meet the condition that the sum of ∠S, ∠T and ∠U should be equal to 180° in ΔSTU.

A school of salmon was swimming in the river 5 feet below the surface. To escape a hungry bear, they went down another 3 feet. What is the position of the salmon now relative to the surface? ​

Answers

The distance of salmon from the surface of the water is 8 feet.

What are mathematical operations?

Calculate the answer using a math operator is referred to as a mathematical operation.

Basic mathematical operations are addition, multiplication, subtraction and division.

Given that,

The distance of school of salmon for the surface of the river = 5 feet.

Since, to escape a hungry bear, the school of salmon went down to 3 feet.

The position of the salmon to the surface = 5 + 3 = 8 feet.

The required distance of school of salmon from the surface of water is 8 feet.

#SPJ2

Answer:

8 Feet below the surface

Step-by-step explanation:

If the salmon were initially 5 feet below the surface, and then travelled down an additional 3 feet from the initial 5, then the new position would be 8 feet down relative to the surface.

You can write this as -5 + -3 = -8, assuming that 0 represents surface level.

Cheers.

ok so the 2nd and 3rd are obviously wrong

hmm
1+4=5 corerct

2+5=7
that is 5 away from 12

3+6=9
that  is 12 away from 21

I see it
1+4=5
2+5+5=12
3+6+12=21
so the pattern is takee the result from the last equaton and add to the next

see how it goes, 1,2,3, then jumps to 8
we need to buildto 8
4+7+21=32
5+8+32=45
6+9+45=50
7+10+50=67
8+11+67=86

the result is 86

A salesman sells cars with prices ranging from $5,000 to $45,000. the histogram shows the distribution of the numbers of cars he expects to sell over the next 10 years. how would the shape of the distribution change if the salesman decides to also deal in cars priced under $5,000 and in cars $45,000 to $50,000 and projects sales of 200 cars in each category?

a. the distribution will exhibit symmetry.

b. the distribution will exhibit a positive skew.

c. the distribution will exhibit a negative skew.

d. the distribution will uniform throughout.

Answers

In the given histogram, the shape of the histogram shows that the shape of the distribution exhibits symmetry (i.e. the shorter bars are to the left and to the right while the longer bars are in the middle). Adding the sales of cars priced under $5,000 and cars priced $45,000 to $50,000 with projected sales of 200 cars for each category will result in adding bars of the same size as the shortest bar to both ends of the histogram. This will not affect the initial shape of the distribution in the histogram as the distribution will still exhibit symmetry. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is "the distribution will exhibit symmetry" (option a).
