y = 12.25x + 28.5
y = 12.5x + 10.5

Answers

Answer 1
Find the velocity first, the "slope".

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(95.5-53)/(4-2)

m=21.25  ?  Your equations are wrong, I'll double check with another set of points...

m=(350.5-308)/(16-14)

m=21.25  LOL, yep none of your lines has the correct slope.

Anyway...

y=21.25x+b, using any point we can solve for the y-intercept, or "b", (2, 53)

53=21.25(2)+b

53=42.5+b

10.5=b so the distance to the lighthouse as a function of time is:

y=21.25x+10.5

So essentially, you should fire your teacher or burn that book you are using :)

Determine the width of the garden. Nina must put 60 feet of fencing around her rectangular garden. The length of the garden is three feet longer than twice the width. What is the solution set for 2w + 2(2w + 3) = 60 given the replacement set {6, 7, 8, 9}?

Answers

2w+2(2w+3)=60

2w+4w+6=60

6w+6=60

6w=54

w=54/6 =9

 the width is 9 feet

Answer:

9 is a solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The replacement set is the set of values that can be substituted in the equation (for the variables).

Given a replacement set, we need to substitute every value of the set in our equation and see if the equation holds for that value. If it does, then the value is a solution of the equation.

In this problem we have the equation 2w + 2(2w + 3) = 60 and the replacement set is {6,7,8,9}

We are going to start replacing the different values of the set.

w = 6

[tex]2w + 2(2w + 3) = 60\\2(6) + 2(2(6)+3) = 60\\12 + 2(12+3) = 60\\12 + 2(15) = 60\\12 + 30 \neq 60[/tex]

Thus, 6 is not a solution.

w = 7

[tex]2w + 2(2w + 3) = 60\\2(7) + 2(2(7) +3) = 60\\14 + 2 (14+3) =60\\14 + 2(17)=60\\14+34=60\\48 \neq 60[/tex]

Thus, 7 is not a solution.

w = 8

[tex]2w + 2(2w + 3) = 60\\2(8) + 2(2(8)+3) = 60\\16 + 2(16+3)=60\\16 +2 (19) =60\\16 + 38 \neq 54[/tex]

Thus, 8 is not solution.

w = 9

[tex]2w + 2(2w + 3) = 60\\2(9) + 2(2(9) + 3) =60\\18 + 2 (18+3) =60\\18 +2(21)=60\\60=60[/tex]

Thus, 9 is a solution.

Answers

P(having one crash) = 0.0477
P(having NO crash) = 1- 0.0477 = 0.9523

ⁿCₓ(p)ˣ. (1-p)ⁿ⁻ˣ
n= number of cars
x = number of crashes
p = 0.0477 (1 crash)
1-p = 0.9523 (NO crash:
 Probability of NO crashes at all:

³C₀(0.0477)⁰(0.9523)⁽³⁻⁰⁾

³C₀(1)(0.9523)³ = 0.9523³ = 0.8636 Then P(NO CRASH) = 0.8636

P(at LEAST one crash) = 1 - 0.8636

P(at LEAST one crash) = 0.136



Probability questions asking for "at least one", are generally much easier to solve by finding the probability of the complement event, that is "none", and then subtracting from 1.  

So we are going to find P(none of the cars crashes), then we will subtract it from 1, since:

P(at least one car crashes)+P(no car crashes)=1, as they are 2 disjoint complement events, either one or the other will happen, so the probability that either one or the other happens is 1.

P(a car not crashing)=1-0.0477=0.9523

P(car 1 not crash, car 2 not crash, car 3 not crash)=[tex]0.9523^{3}= 0.864[/tex]

P(at least 1 of the cars crashes)=1-P(none of the 3 cars crash)=[tex]1-0.9523^{3}=1-0.864=0.136[/tex]

 

Billy Goats invested some money in stocks and bonds. The total amount he invested was $\$165,\!000$. If he invested 4.5 times as much in stocks as he did in bonds, what was his total investment in stocks?

Answers

Billy Goats...lol...what a name...

s + b = 165,000
s = 4.5b

4.5b + b = 165,000
5.5b = 165,000
b = 165,000/5.5
b = 30,000...his investment in bonds

s + b = 165,000
s + 30,000 = 165,000
s = 165,000 - 30,000
s = 135,000 <=== his investment in stocks

An equation is formed when two equal expressions. The total investment that Billy made in stocks is $135,000.

What is an equation?

An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.

Let the amount that is invested in stocks be represented by x, while the amount that is been invested in bonds is represented by y.

Given that Bily invested 4.5 times as much in stocks as he did in bonds. Therefore, the equation to represent the given situation can be written as,

x = 4.5y

Also, given that the total amount that Billy invested is $165,000. Therefore, the total invested amount can be written as,

$165,000 = x + y

Substitute the value of x in the equation,

$165,000 = 4.5y + y

$165,000 = 5.5y

y = $165,000 / 5.5

y = $30,000

Now substitute the value of y in the first equation to know Billy's investment in stocks.

x = 4.5y

x = 4.5($30,000)

x = $135,000

Hence, the total investment that Billy made in stocks is $135,000.

The mean diastolic blood pressure for a random sample of 70 people was 94 millimeters of mercury. if the standard deviation of individual blood pressure readings is known to be 12 millimeters of mercury, find a 90% confidence interval for the true mean diastolic blood pressure of all people.

Answers

To solve this problem, we make use of the formula for Confidence Interval:

Confidence Interval = X ± z * σ / sqrt (n)

where X is the mean value, z is the z score which is taken from the standard tables, σ is the standard deviation, and n is the number of samples

z = 1.645 (at 90% Confidence Level)

Substituting the values into the equation:

Confidence Interval = 94 ± 1.645 * 12 / sqrt (70)

Confidence Interval = 94 ± 2.36

Confidence Interval = 91.64, 96.36

Therefore at 90% confidence level, the blood pressure reading ranges from 91.64 mmHg to 96.36 mmHg.

The answer is 10 cm. This can be found through the use of Pythagorean Theorem because it is a right triangle and you are finding the hypotenuse.   

The third side of the triangle is AC = 10 centimeters

What is a Triangle?

A triangle is a plane figure or polygon with three sides and three angles.

A Triangle has three vertices and the sum of the interior angles add up to 180°

Let the Triangle be ΔABC , such that

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

The area of the triangle = ( 1/2 ) x Length x Base

For a right angle triangle

From the Pythagoras Theorem , The hypotenuse² = base² + height²

if a² + b² = c² , it is a right triangle

if a² + b² < c² , it is an obtuse triangle

if a² + b² > c² , it is an acute triangle

Given data ,

Let the triangle be represented as ΔABC

Now , the measures of the sides of the triangle are

The measure of side AB = 6 cm

The measure of side BC = 8 cm

Now , For a right angle triangle

From the Pythagoras Theorem , The hypotenuse² = base² + height²

On simplifying , we get

The measure of side AC = √ ( AB )² + ( BC )²

The measure of side AC = √ ( 6 )² + ( 8 )²

The measure of side AC = √ ( 36 + 64 )

The measure of side AC = √ ( 100 )

The measure of side AC = 10 cm

Here dl/dt=7 m per sec

dr/dt=0

Final answer:

When the runner's distance from his friend is same as the distance from the friend to center of the track, the runner is moving in a way that the distance between him and his friend isn't changing. Hence, at those specific moments, their relative speed is zero m/s.

Explanation:

This problem involves the concept of relative velocities in a plane. Since the runner is moving along a circular path with a constant speed of 7 m/s, the runner's speed towards or away from his friend depends on the runner's location on the track. However, when the runner is at a distance of 220 m from his friend (which is also the distance from the friend to the center of the track), the runner is moving perpendicular to the line joining the runner and his friend. This is because, in this particular case, the runner is moving along a tangent to the circle that intersects the friend's location. Therefore, the distance between the friends isn't changing at all during those moments - their relative speed is zero m/s.

A fundamental unit is a tool for measuring a base quantity. Any physical quantity that cannot be expressed in terms of another physical quantity is referred to as a basic quantity. They are

Length - meter (m)Time - second (s)Amount of substance - mole (mole)Electric current - ampere (A)Temperature - kelvin (K)Luminous intensity - candela (cd)Mass - kilogram (kg)

Three Common Measurements be Density , Speed and Mileage where

Density = [tex]\frac{kg}{m^{3} }[/tex]

Speed = [tex]\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

Mileage = [tex]\frac{km}{L}[/tex]

Hence , the three common measurements which can be expressed as a ratio of two units are Density , Speed and Mileage

(4b^2-16) is an example of what is called a difference of squares because each term is a squared value.  It has the form:

(a^2-b^2) which always factors to (a-b)(a+b)

In this case the square root of 4b^2=2b and the square root of 16=4 so its factors are:

(2b+4)(2b-4)  now we can factor out 2 from both terms...

2(b+2)2(b-2) to get

4(b+2)(b-2)  (answer B.)

When a positive integer k is divided by 6, the remainder is 1. what is the remainder when 5k is divided by 3?

Answers

Final answer:

The remainder when 5k is divided by 3 is 2. This is because k can be represented as 6n + 1 where n is the quotient, and when 5 is multiplied by k and then divided by 3, after simplifying, only the term +5 contributes to the remainder.

Explanation:

When a positive integer k is divided by 6, the remainder is 1. Thus, we can write k as 6n + 1 where n is a quotient. To find the remainder when 5k is divided by 3, we must first multiply k by 5, resulting in 5(6n + 1) = 30n + 5.

Breaking down 30n + 5, we see that 30n is divisible by 3 since 30 is a multiple of 3. Hence, it will not contribute to the remainder when divided by 3. All that is left to consider is the +5 part. The closest multiple of 3 to 5 is 3 itself, meaning 5 divided by 3 will leave a remainder of 2. Therefore, the remainder when 5k is divided by 3 is 2.

The Leafs’ coach stated that “the likelihood of us winning the next game are 2/9, the likelihood of tying the next game are 1/2, and likelihood of us loosing the next game are 2/5”. Can the coach’s predictions be entirely correct? Justify your response

Answers

Well all of the probabilities must be equal to one....

2/5+1/2+2/9

(36+45+20)/90

101/90

So he obviously has serious issues with mathematics :P

By these numbers there is about 112% chance that they will either win, lose, or tie.  However there can be at most a 100% chance of anything :)
Final answer:

The coach's predictions cannot be entirely correct because the sum of the probabilities given by the coach does not equal 1. Therefore, the coach's predictions are not consistent with the rules of probability.

Explanation:

The coach's predictions cannot be entirely correct because the sum of the probabilities of all possible outcomes must equal 1. In this case, the sum of the probabilities given by the coach is 2/9 + 1/2 + 2/5 = 49/90, which is not equal to 1. Therefore, the coach's predictions are not consistent with the rules of probability.



To justify this, we can add up the probabilities of winning, tying, and losing the next game. The correct probabilities should add up to 1 since these are the only possible outcomes.



The probability of winning the next game is 2/9 (given by the coach).The probability of tying the next game is 1/2 (given by the coach).The probability of losing the next game is 2/5 (given by the coach).



If we add these probabilities together: 2/9 + 1/2 + 2/5 = 49/90, which is not equal to 1. Therefore, the coach's predictions cannot be entirely correct.
