An air traffic controller spots two planes flying at the same altitude. Their flight paths form a right angle at point P. One plane is 150 miles from point P and is moving at 440 miles per hour. The other plane is 200 miles from point P and is moving at 440 miles per hour. Write the distance s between the planes as a function of time t.

Answers

Answer 1

The distance s as a function of time is  s = 50√(162t² -126t +25)

Take miles and hours to be the problem's units.

The distance of the first plane from point p is provided by

x = 150 -450t

The distance of the second plane from point p is given by

y = 200 -450t

The Pythagorean theorem can be used to calculate the distance between them because their flight trajectories are at right angles (s).

s² = x² + y²

s² = (150 -450t) (150 -450t)

² + (200 -450t)² = 22500 -135000t +202500t² +40000 -180000t +202500t²

... s² = 40500t² -315000t +62500 = 2500(162t² -126t +25)

... s = 50√(162t² -126t +25)

Saturday, the ratio of the number of snowboarders to the number of skiers
was 5:3. There were 144 snowboarders at the ski resort on Friday. There were
same number of people at the ski resort on Saturday as there were on Friday
How many more skiers were there than snowboarders at the ski resort on
Saturday?

Answers

As calculated by the given ratios, 36 more skiers were there than snowboarders at the local resort on Saturday.

What is ratio?

A ratio illustrates how two or more values differ in terms of size.

Ratios can be displayed in a variety of ways, including as decimals (after dividing one value by the whole), percentages (after dividing one value by the entire), and using the ":" or "/" to separate values.

As given in the question,

Ratio of Snowboarders to Skiers

On Friday: ratio is 6:2

On Saturday: 5:3

Population = 144

Now, lets calculate the number of snowboarders and skiers at Saturday:

Given ratio: 5:3

total = 5+3

total = 8

No. of skiers is:

= (3/8)(144)

= 54

No. of snowboarders is:

= (5/8)(144)

= 90

Now lets calculate the difference between no. of snowboarders and skiers:

= 90-54

= 36

Step-by-step explanation:

An anonymous survey of college students was taken to determine behaviors regarding alcohol, cigarettes, and illegal drugs. The results were as follows: 855 drankalcohol regularly, 657 smoked cigarettes, 192 used illegal drugs, 418 drank alcohol regularly and smoked cigarettes, 109 drank alcohol regularly and used illegal drugs,116 smoked cigarettes and used illegal drugs, 88 engaged in all three behaviors, and 251 engaged in none of these behaviors.Answer parts a, b, c, d, e, f, g for this question.

Answers

To solve the question, we will be using a Venn Diagram. Let's list down what's given first:

855 drank alcohol

657 smoked cigarettes

192 used illegal drugs

418 both drank alcohol and smoked cigarettes

109 drank alcohol and used illegal drugs

116 smoked cigarettes and used illegal drugs

88 engaged in all three

and 251 engaged in none of these

We will draw a Venn Diagram with 3 circles, one for each vice. Then we will start with the intersection of all three and the area outside of the circles (for those who do not engage in vices).

Because we know how many engaged in all 3 vices, we can deduct that number from those who belong to the intersection of 2 vices since they have already been counted in that too.

418 - 88 = 330 drank and smoked, but not used drugs

109 - 88 = 21 drank and used drugs, but not smoked

116 - 88 = 28 smoked and used drugs but not drank

Then, we subtract the numbers in each circle from the total for each vice.

855 - (330 + 88 + 21) = 416 drank only

657 - (330 + 88 + 28) = 211 smoked only

192 - (88 + 21 + 28) = 55 used drugs only

To find the total number of surveyed students, we just need to add all the numbers in the Venn Diagram.

416 + 330 + 88 + 21 + 211 + 28 + 55 + 251 = 1,400

Therefore, there were 1,400 students who were surveyed.

In a sample of 30000 first borne babies, 6 were found to have Down syndrome. Find the empirical probability thay a famili’s first child will be born with this sydrome

Answers

The probability that a family’s first child will be born with down syndrome is 1/5000

Number of first borne babies  = 30000

Number of first borne babies having Down syndrome = 6

Probability is defined as the ratio of number of favorable outcomes to the total outcome.

Probability =  (number of favorable outcomes)/(total outcome)

We have to find the probability that a family’s first child will be born with down syndrome. So, Number of first borne babies having Down syndrome is equal to the total number of favorable outcomes and  Number of first borne babies will also be equal to total outcome. Hence we can write,

Probability = (number of favorable outcomes)/(total outcome)

Probability = 6/30000

Probability = 1/5000

So, the required probability is 1/5000.

The amount of wall surface in square feet is there to paint is: 364 square ft. While the floor area is 169.58sq ft. See the calculations below:

What is Square Feet?

The square foot is an imperial measure of area and a customary unit of area in most countries. It is defined as the area of a square with one-foot sides.

The calculation for the above solution is given as:

Step I - Recall the Given Stats:

Dimensions of the room are:

12′-4″ by 13′-9″ with an 8′-0″ ceiling height has one door 3′ × 7′ and two windows 4′ square.

Let Lenght (l) = 13'9" = 13(9/12) ft = 13(3/4) = 55/4 ft.

Let Width(w) = 12'4" = 12(4/12) ft = 12(1/3)ft = 37/3 ft

Let Height h = 8'0" = 8ft.

Recall that we have a door with dimensions 3' x 7' and two windows 4'x4'

Step II - A) Surface area of the wall to be painted is:

Area of 4 walls less (area of door plus area of window)

Surface Area = 2LH + 2WH - ((3 x7) + 2(4x4))

= 2(l +w)h - (21 + 32)
= 2 ((55/4) + (37/3))8 -53

= 220 + 592/3 - 53
= 167 + 592

= (501+ 592)/3
= 1093/3

Hence,

The Surface Area to be painted is = 364.33 Sq ft.

Step III - B) The Area of the Floor = Lx W

= (55/4) x (37/3)

= 2035/12

= 169.583333333

Hence,

Area of the Floor is approximately = 169.58

Explanation:

The absolute value of a number is represented by:

The lines represent absolute value of a number x, and what it does is that it makes everything into a positive number.

For example |-5|=5 and |5|=5, so we always have two options with an absolute value: that it comes from a negative number or that it comes from a positive number.

In this case we have that a number with an absolute value of 42 (it could be |-42|=42 or |42|=42) divided by a number with an absolute value of 7 (it could be |-7|=7 or |7|=7) the quotient is -6.

One possible numberic equation is:

The no. of students who usually bring their own lunch is 15.

What is the ratio?

The ratio is a comparison between two or more quantities in simplest form.

Given there are 36 students in an s2a class some of them bring their own lunch and the others buy their lunch.

Assuming x students bring their own lunch hence (36 - x) students buy their lunch.

(1/5)th of the student who brings their own lunch is (1/5)×x = (x/5).

∴ x - (x/5) : (36 - x) + (x/5) = 1 : 2.  (The reduced students are added to the      

                                                                              other category).

4x/5 : 36 - 4x/5 = 1 : 2.

4x/5 : (180 - 4x)/5 = 1 : 2.

(4x/5)÷(180 - 4x)/5 = 1/2.

(4x/5)×5/(180 - 4x) = 1/2.

4x/(180 - 4x) = 1/2.

4x = (180 - 4x)/2.

Thomas invested $1498 at
6% Sumple interest per annum.
Calculate.
1) The interest, in dollars,
earned after six months

Answers

well, keeping in mind that a year has 12 months, that means 6 months is 6/12 of a year, so

[tex]~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned} \\\\ I = Prt\qquad \begin{cases} I=\textit{interest earned}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$1498\\ r=rate\to 6\%\to \frac{6}{100}\dotfill &0.06\\ t=years\to \frac{6}{12}\dotfill &\frac{1}{2} \end{cases} \\\\\\ I = (1498)(0.06)(\frac{1}{2}) \implies I = 44.94[/tex]

Which of the following is the correct mathematical expression for:
The difference between three times a number and 4

Answers

Answer:

3x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

"Difference" is a clue word that tells you to use subtraction. The other clue word is "times" but that means times, or multiplication and is pretty straight forward.

"Three times a number" means to multiply a number, but we don't know the number, so we use a variable (a letter). I put x but you could use n or c or almost any letter for the variable.

"the difference of ___ and ___" means to subtract those two things.

So we get 3x - 4
