 Travel_Word_Problems/350221: A car travels at 60 mph east for 20 min then at 30 mph west for 30 minutes. What is the average speed and average velocity? Average speed I got, 42 mph. Not sure about average velocity.1 solutions Answer 250334 by solver91311(16897)   on 2010-09-30 14:48:37 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Your answer for speed is correct. In the first 20 minutes, going 60 miles per hour which is the same thing as 1 mile per minute, the car travels 20 miles. In the next 30 minutes, going 30 miles per hour, which is mile per minute, the car travels 15 miles. Total distance: 20 plus 15 is 35 miles. Total time 50 minutes which is hour, so: average SPEED. Notice that speed, being a scalar quantity, doesn't take into consideration the direction of travel. Velocity, on the other hand, is a vector quantity. It has a magnitude (the scalar speed) and a direction. So if the car went 20 miles east and then turned around and traveled 15 miles west, the car would be 5 miles east of the starting point. 5 miles in of an hour. and since the ending point was due east of the starting point, the velocity is 6 mph EAST.

 Equations/350192: question 1 The slope of a line is 12 and the point (1, 10) is on the line. Express the line in slope-intercept form. question 2 The slope of a line is 11 and the point (14, 19) is on the line. Express the line in slope-intercept form.1 solutions Answer 250304 by solver91311(16897)   on 2010-09-30 12:58:15 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! One question per post. But since these are really just the same question with different numbers, I'll show you how to answer any question like this. The slope intercept form is where is the slope and is the -intercept, that is is the value of the -coordinate of the ordered pair that represents the point where the graph of the line intersects the -axis. So, to solve either of your questions, first substitute the given slope number for . Then take the -coordinate of the given point and substitute for in . And then take the -coordinate of the given point and substitute for in . Making those substitutions will leave you with an equation that has as a variable. Solve for and you will have sufficient information to write your slope intercept equation. John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
 percentage/350193: How much interest will be charged on a student loan if $8000 is borrowed for 9 months at a 19.2% annual interest rate?1 solutions Answer 250300 by solver91311(16897) on 2010-09-30 12:50:08 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! That depends. Are you making monthly payments with interest accruing monthly on the unpaid balance? Are you paying it all at once at the end of the nine months, and if so, is it simple interest or compounded. If compounded, how frequently?

Can't answer this specifically because you didn't share the number of trials. The probability of successes in trials where is the probability of success on any given trial is given by: Where is the number of combinations of things taken at a time and is calculated by You have and you have is at least 1. But you didn't give . The probability of at least 1 is the probability of exactly 1 plus the probability of exactly 2 plus exactly 3...and so on up to the probability of exactly out of . Such a calculation would look like this: The calculation of which, depending on the size of , could range anywhere from mildly uncomfortable to excruciating. Ah, but take heart, Grasshopper! There is a better way. Note that if "at least 1" is one possibility, then the only other possiblity is "none at all". Hence the probability of "at least one" plus the probability of "none at all" must equal 1. Therefore, if you calculate the probability of none at all and subtract that from 1, you get your desired probability. . But since and , this all reduces to: .

Pick a value for x. It can be anything you like, but 0, 1, or some other small integer usually works well and makes the arithmetic easier. Step 2. Substitute that value in place of x in your equation. Do the arithmetic and determine the value of y that results. Step 3. Take the value of x that you selected for step 1 and the value of y that you calculated in step 2 and form an ordered pair (x,y). Step 4. Plot the ordered pair from Step 3 on your graph. Remember that the x value is the distance right or left along the horizontal axis and the y value is the distance up or down along the vertical axis. Step 5.
