The sum of the speeds of two trains is
726.1 miles per hour. If the speed of the first train is
9.9 mph faster than that of the second​ train, find the speeds of each.

Answers

Answer:

Train 1: 368 mph

Train 2: 358.1 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write 2 equations to represent this problem.

[tex]x+y=726.1[/tex]

[tex]x=9.9+y[/tex]

The x represents the first train and the y represents the second train.

We can plug in x into the first equation.

[tex](9.9+y)+y=726.1[/tex]

[tex]9.9+2y=726.1[/tex]

[tex]2y=716.2[/tex]

[tex]y=358.1[/tex]

Now that we know our y, we can find our x.

[tex]x=9.9+y[/tex]

[tex]x=9.9+358.1[/tex]

[tex]x=368[/tex]

I run a book club with $n$ people, not including myself. Every day, for $365$ days, I invite four members in the club to review a book. What is the smallest positive integer $n$ so that I can avoid ever having the exact same group of four members over all $365$ days?

Answers

Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have n people and we want to do groups of 4, the total number of different combinations is:

[tex]c = \frac{n!}{(n - 4)!4!}[/tex]

and we want find the smallest n such c > 365.

let's do it by brute force:

if n = 5, we have:

[tex]c = \frac{5!}{1!*4!} = 5[/tex]

if n = 6

[tex]c = \frac{6!}{2!*4!} = \frac{6*5}{2} = 15[/tex]

if n = 7

[tex]c = \frac{71}{3!*4!} = \frac{7*6*5}{3*2} = 35[/tex]

if n = 8

[tex]c = \frac{8!}{(4!*4!} = \frac{8*7*6*5}{4*3*2} = 70[/tex]

if n = 9

[tex]c = \frac{9!}{5!*4!} = \frac{9*8*7*6*5}{5*4*3*2} = 126[/tex]

if n = 10

[tex]c = \frac{10!}{6!*4!} = \frac{10*9*8*7}{4*3*2} = 210[/tex]

So you can see the patern here.

So we have the previous number multiplied by n and divided by n - 4

if n = 11

C = 210*11/(11- 4) = 330

if n = 12

C = 330*12/(12 - 4) = 495

Then the minimum number of members such we have more than 365 combinations is 12 members

To ensure that all potential cancer patients had an equal chance of beng selected for the study. C. To reduce the amount of sampling error D. To produce treatment groups with similar characteristics E. To prevent skewness n the resuits. F. I am not familiar with this matorial

Answers

Answer: D. To produce treatment groups with similar characteristics

Step-by-step explanation:

By using randomization in sampling, the Sample would be more representative of the Population it is based off of because different demographic characteristics may be picked.

This leads to a situation where the groups have similar characteristics between themselves thereby making it easier for comparison. For example, Group 1 would have certain types of people that will be represented in Group 2 and Group 3 as well. That way the effects of the drug can be properly studied as it affects different people. For instance, say there are 4 obese people in a sample of 10, instead of group one having all obese people, randomization may be able to give group one, 2 obese people and 2 obese people to group 2 as well. That way when comparing, the effects of the drug on the two groups is easier to be compared because the two groups have similar people.

Would a 51-foot ladder be long enough to climb a 50-foot wall? Sketch a graph and find your answer using a trigonometric ratio.

Answers

Answer: It is not long enough.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, we know that the "rule" for the distance between the base of the ladder and the wall is that, for each 4 ft that the ladder rises, we must have 1 foot between the base of the ladder and the wall.

then, for a 50 feet wall, the ladder must rise 50 ft, this means that the base of the ladder must be:

50ft/4 = 12.5 feet away from the wall.

Now, these two values can be thought as the cathetus of a triangle rectangle, and the ladder will be the hypotenuse, then we have (using Pythagoras theorem)

H = √(12.5ft^2 + 50ft^2) =  51.54 ft

So the theoretical safe value is bigger than the one we have, this means that the 51-foot ladder is not long enough.

The first option

Step-by-step explanation:

In the image, we can notice that NQ is longer than PQ, similar to how JH is longer than NJ. Thus, NQ must be aligned with JH and PQ with JN. As PN and HN are clearly the longest for each triangle, those must be aligned as well.

All of the responses have NP and NH aligned.

Find 6% of $3,020.
People please

Answers

Answer:

$181.20

Step-by-step explanation:

6% of $3,020 is $3,020. I don't really know how to explain it but yeah lol.

Answer:

Your answer is 181.2

Step-by-step explanation:

the number 3020 is 100% (because it's the output value of the task)

If 3020 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3020=100%.

We know, that x is 6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6%.

Now we have two simple equations:

3020=100%

x=6%

3020/x=100%/6%

Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

3020/x=100/6

(3020/x)*x=(100/6)*x       (we multiply both sides of the equation by x)

3020=16.666666666667*x       (we divide both sides of the equation by) (16.666666666667) to get x

3020/16.666666666667=x

181.2=x

x=181.2

YZ = √[(5-5)^2 + (-3 -(-1))^2 ]=√[(0^2) + (-2)^2] =√(0 + 4) = 2

XZ = √[(6-5)^2 + (4-(-1)^2] = √[(1^2 ) + (5^2)]=√(1+25) =√26 = 5.099

Problem 5.
Joseph is told to dissolve a medicine he has to take in 1 pint 4 ounces of water. He has a
measuring cup marked in ounces. How many ounces of water should he pour?​

Answers

Answer:

The amount of water he should pour in ounces(that is the only units the cup measures) is 16 + 4 = 20 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

He is told to dissolve a medicine he has in 1 pint 4 ounces of water . He has a measuring cup marked in ounces .This means he can only measure the water quantity in ounces.

He definitely have to convert the pints to ounces.

1 pint = 16 ounces

Recall he has to dissolve the medicine in 1 pint 4 ounces of water.

Since 1 pint is equals to 16 ounces therefore, 16 ounces + 4 ounces  = 20 ounces.

The amount of water he should pour in ounces(that is the only units the cup measures) is 16 + 4 = 20 ounces

A random sample of 18 adults, chosen from the 1500 adults in the town, took a survey asking their opinion on a recent property tax change. 25% of those who responded said they were in favor of the change. The company running the survey wants to construct a confidence interval estimating the proportion of all adults in the town who support the change. Which of the conditions for inference have been satisfied?

I. Random condition

II. Normal condition

III. 10% condition

A) I

B) II

C) I and III

D) II and III

E) I, II, and III

Answers

Answer:

C) I & III

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sample size, n = 18

Sample proportion = 25% = 0.25

Here, a random sample of 18 adults were chosen from the 1500 adults in town. This shows that the random condition was satisfied because the sample was drawn randomly from the general population of adults in the town.

For the normal condition to be satisfied, np should be greater than 10, ie np > 10.

In this case, np = 18 * 0.25 = 4.5

Since np is less than 10, the normal condition was not satisfied.

For the 10% condition to be satisfied, sample size should not be more than 10% of the general population.

Here, the sample size is 18 and the population is 1500. Therefore,

[tex] \frac{18}{1500} * 100 = 1.2 [/tex]

Since the sample size is 1.2% of the population which is less than 10%, the 10% condition was satisfied.

The correct option is C, because only I & III were satisfied.

ther are twi factors of -36 such that one factor is 11 less than half of the other factor.

Answers

The 2 factors are -2 and 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

xy = -36

Let y = 0.5x - 11 so

x(0.5x - 11) = -36

0.5x^2 - 11x + 36 = 0

0.5(x^2 - 22x + 72) = 0

(x - 4)(x - 18) = 0

x = 4, 18.

Try x = 18:-

The 2 numbers which are factors of -36 must be  -2 and 18 because they fit the requirement  that 0.5(18) - 11 = 9 - 11 = -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

b^2= a^2+c^2-2*a*c*cosB

9*9 = 4*4 + 7*7 - 2*7*4*cosB

81= 16+49-56cosB           Subtract 16 and 49 from both sides

16= -56cosB           Divide by -56 on both sides.

cosB= -16/56         Take the arccosine of both sides

B=arccos(-16/56)                    

B= 106.6

Answer:

B. 106.6

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for angle B, we can use the law of cosines.

Recall that the law of cosines states [tex]b^2=a^2+c^2-2ab*cos(B)[/tex]

When this is solved for angle B, we get [tex]B=cos^{-1}( \frac{a^2+c^2-b^2}{2ac} )[/tex]

In this triangle, [tex]a=7, b=9, c=4[/tex]

Now, we can plug these numbers into our equation and then simplify to get B.

[tex]B=cos^{-1}( \frac{7^2+4^2-9^2}{2(7)(4)} )\\\\B=cos^{-1}( \frac{49+16-81}{56} )\\\\B=cos^{-1} (\frac{-16}{56} )\\\\B=106.602\\\\B=106.6[/tex]
