Travel_Word_Problems/498396: i was not sure if i was right on this question in math.can you please tell me if i am right.it is true or false.if you traveled 250 miles in 5 hours,your average speed is 50 mph. i think it is true 1 solutions Answer 337023 by solver91311(16872)   on 2011-09-15 16:51:44 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Why aren't you sure that it is true? DEFINITION: average speed: noun   The total distance traveled divided by the total time elapsed. John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Trigonometry-basics/498399: determine the quadrant where P(theta) lies: sin(theta)>0, cos(theta)<0 1 solutions Answer 337021 by solver91311(16872)   on 2011-09-15 16:44:47 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Check out the unit circle. x coordinates are cosine values and y coordinates are sine values. John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Travel_Word_Problems/498393: Two bicyclists start toward each other at the same time from two places 240 miles apart, one traveling at 8 mph and the other 12 mph. At the same time a fly leaves the front of the wheel of one bicycle at a rate of 16 mph. As soon as it touches the other front wheel, the fly turns around and flies back toward the first bicycle again. This zigzag motion is continued until the front of the wheels of the bicycles meet. How far has the fly traveled? 1 solutions Answer 337020 by solver91311(16872)   on 2011-09-15 16:41:34 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! If one bicycle had a speed of 8 mph and the other had a speed of 12 mph, then they had a speed of 20 mph relative to each other. That means that they would cover the 240 mile distance between them in 12 hours (using ). Presuming that the fly maintained a constant speed of 16 mph (and never had to slow down to turn around) then the fly travelled (using ) 16 times 12 = 192 miles. John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Coordinate-system/498394: how do you know which quadratic equation equal 1 1 solutions Answer 337019 by solver91311(16872)   on 2011-09-15 16:32:14 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Your question makes no sense. Explain what you want. John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Numbers_Word_Problems/498392: One number is four times another number. the larger number is also 87 more than the smaller number. what are the numbers? 1 solutions Answer 337018 by solver91311(16872)   on 2011-09-15 16:30:41 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let represent the smaller number. Then: Solve for , then calculate John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

real-numbers/497707: can you name the subsets of the real numbers to which each number belongs? 3/4 -8 45,368 -2/3 1 solutions Answer 336834 by solver91311(16872)   on 2011-09-14 16:57:25 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! If a number cannot be represented by the quotient of two integers, then the number is Irrational. The number isn't insane, but it cannot be represented as a ratio. If a number can be represented by the ratio of two integers, the number is Rational. The positive and negative whole numbers are the Integers. Non-negative whole numbers are the Natural numbers. (Actually, there are varying opinions on the exact definition of the set of Whole Numbers and the set of Natural numbers. Whole Numbers could mean Natural Numbers in the sense of positive integers, i.e. . Or Whole Numbers could mean Natural Numbers in the sense of non-negative integers, i.e. . Or Whole Numbers could be used to mean the entire set of Integers, i.e. ) Note that Natural numbers are a proper subset of the Integers which, in turn, is a proper subset of the Rationals. 45,368 is Natural, Whole, Integer, AND Rational. -8 is Whole (maybe), Integer, and Rational All fractions and explicitly stated decimals, even those that repeat forever, are Rational. Everything else is Irational. Any number that is the root of a non-zero polynomial function with rational coefficients is an Algebraic number. Any other number is a Trancendental number. Only one of the numbers in your list is Trancendental. Can you find it? John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Geometry_Word_Problems/497705: How do you find the center of a rectangle garden, without using any measurements? 1 solutions Answer 336810 by solver91311(16872)   on 2011-09-14 15:36:50 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Drive a stake into the ground at one corner. Tie a string to the stake. Go to the diagonally opposite corner and drive another stake into the ground. Tie the other end of your string to the second stake, making the string nice and taut. Repeat the process for the other two corners of your rectangle. The point where the two strings cross is the center. John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Probability-and-statistics/497681: 16 marbles total/ 2green and 3 whites. if one is drawn it is not repalce. what is the probability of this. thanks 1 solutions Answer 336801 by solver91311(16872)   on 2011-09-14 15:17:51 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! You have described a collection of marbles that total 16. Then you say 2 green and 3 white. If you mean that 2 of the 16 marbles are green, 3 of them are white, and 11 of them are some other color, then what is the without replacement draw for which you want to calculate the probability? On the other hand, if you want the probability of drawing 2 green and 3 white from a collection of 16 without replacement, then you need to describe the numbers of the various colors that make up the 16 in the container.

If you mean that the overall area of both the rectangle and the surmounting semi-circle is supposed to be 4 ft², then this is mighty weird looking stained glass window. Since you didn't provide a dimension for the diameter of the semicircle, I have to assume that it is the same as the width of the rectangle. I'm also assuming that is the missing dimension of the rectangle since it cannot possibly be the overall height of the window. The area of a semicircle with a diameter of 3 feet and therefore a radius of 1.5 feet is . That means only of the given area remains for the rectangle. Divided by 3, that leaves a height of less than feet for the rectangle part of the window -- not even 2 inches.
