Two cars are traveling in the same direction. The first car is going 40mph, and the second car is going 55 mph. The first car left 3 hours before the second car. Which equation could you use to find how many hours it will take for the second car to catch up to the first car? hint: how many miles has the first car gone in those 3 hours?

Answers

Answer 1

Assuming both cars start at the same position, in the first 3 hours the first car covers a distance of

(40 mi/h) (3 h) = 120 mi

Take the 3 hour mark to be the origin, so that the first car's position after t hours is

120 mi + (40 mi/h) t

while the second car's position is

(55 mi/h) t

The second car catches up to the first when their positions are equal:

120 mi + (40 mi/h) t = (55 mi/h) t

120 mi = (15 mi/h) t

t = (120 mi) / (15 mi/h)

t = 8 h

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem 1:

We have the following letters in the bag:

P R O B A B I L I T Y

There is a total of 11 letters.

If we select B, we have a 2/11 chance to get it. If we then replace it and select A, we have a 1/11 chance to select it.

Thus we have a (2/11) * (1/11) chance to get that combination,

Which is 2/121.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Problem 2

We have the following letters in the bag:

P R O B A B I L I T Y

There is a total of 11 letters. If we select P, we have a 1/11 chance to get it. If we then replace it and select L, we have a 1/11 chance to select that.

Thus we have a (1/11) * (1/11) chance to get that combination,

Which is 1/121.

Step-by-step explanation:

collect the x stuff on one side

2/3 x + 1/6 x = 9 + 1

5/6 x = 10

Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

first, you need to get the variable to one side

the easiest way to do it and not deal with negatives would be this way:

2/3x - 1 = 9 - 1/6x

+1/6x            +1/6x           in order to do this you must first convert the 2/3 to 4/6

to then get

5/6x - 1 = 9

then solve it like normal

5/6x - 1 = 9

       +1     +1

5/6x = 10

Answers

Answer:

1) x = 3/2  2)  x = 6  3) x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

For Number 1:

4(x+8)−4=34

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4(x+8)−4=34

(4)(x)+(4)(8)+−4=34(Distribute)

4x+32+−4=34

(4x)+(32+−4)=34(Combine Like Terms)

4x+28=34

Step 2: Subtract 28 from both sides.

4x=6

Step 3: Divide both sides by 4.

4x/4 = 6/4

x = 3/2

For Number 2:

2/3(9+x)=−5(4−x)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

6 + 2/3x = −20+5x

Step 2: Subtract 5x from both sides.

−13 /3 x+6=−20

Step 3: Subtract 6 from both sides.

-13/3x = -26

Step 4: Multiply both sides by 3/(-13)

x = 6

For Number 3:

−3(x+4)+15=6−4x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−3(x+4)+15=6−4x

(−3)(x)+(−3)(4)+15=6+−4x(Distribute)

−3x+−12+15=6+−4x

(−3x)+(−12+15)=−4x+6(Combine Like Terms)

−3x+3=−4x+6

−3x+3=−4x+6

Step 2: Add 4x to both sides.

−3x+3+4x=−4x+6+4x

x+3=6

Step 3: Subtract 3 from both sides.

x+3−3=6−3

x = 3

Calculate the area of the triangle: A =

Answers

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the triangle is 30.9 square units.

We have,

From the figure,

Height = Distance between (-2, 6) and (-2, 0).

Base = Distance between (-2, 0) and (7, -5).

To find the distance between two points in a Cartesian coordinate system, use the distance formula:

Distance = [tex]\sqrt{((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2)[/tex]

Height:

Distance = √((-2 - (-2))² + (0 - 6)²)

Distance = √(0² + (-6)²)

Distance = √(0 + 36)

Distance = √36

Distance = 6

Base:

Distance = √((7 - (-2))² + (-5 - 0)²)

Distance = √((7 + 2)² + (-5)²)

Distance = √(9² + (-5)²)

Distance = √(81 + 25)

Distance = √106

Distance ≈ 10.3

Now,

The area of the triangle.

= 1/2 x base x height

= 1/2 x 10.3 x 6

= 10.3 x 3

= 30.9 square units

Thus,

The area of the triangle is 30.9 square units.

In a certain community, 8% of all adults over 50 have diabetes. If a health service in this community correctly diagnoses 95% of all persons with diabetes as having the disease and incorrectly diagnoses 2% of all persons without diabetes as having the disease, find the probabilities that
a) the community health service will diagnose an adult over 50 as having diabetes.
b) a person over 50 diagnosed by the health service as having diabetes actually has the disease.

Answers

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

Given:

Let A is the event of a person over 50 diagnosed by health service.

B1 is the event that an adult over 50 actually has diabetes.

B2 is the event that an adult over 50 does not have diabetes.

P (B1) = 8% = 0.08

And P (B2) = 1 – P (B1)

                  = 1 – 0.08

                  = 0.92

Correctly diagnose of all persons with diabetes= 95%

P (A/B1) = 0.95

Incorrectly diagnose of all persons without diabetes=   2%

P (A/B2) = 0.02

(a) ) the community health service will diagnose an adult over 50 as having diabetes.

P (B1) P (A/B1) = (0.08) (0.95) = 0.076

P (B2) p (A/B2) = (0.92) (0.02) =0.0184

P (B1) P (A/B1) + P (B2) p (A/B2) =  0.076 + 0.0184

                                                     = 0.0944

(b)  A person over 50 diagnosed by the health service as having diabetes actually has the disease.

By using formula:

P (B1/A) = P (B1) P (A/B1) / P (B1) P(A/B1) + P (B2) P (A/B2)

Put all the given values:

= (0.08) (0.95) / (0.08) (0.95) + (0.92) (0.02)

=0.076 / 0.076 + 0.0184

=0.076 / 0.0944

= 0.8050

Using conditional probability, it is found that there is a:

a) 0.0944 = 9.44% probability that the community health service will diagnose an adult over 50 as having diabetes.

b) 0.8051 = 80.51% probability that a person over 50 diagnosed by the health service as having diabetes actually has the disease.

Conditional Probability

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened. [tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening. P(A) is the probability of A happening.

Item a:

The percentages of a positive test is:

95% of 8%(have diabetes).2% of 92%(do not have diabetes).

Hence:

[tex]P(A) = 0.95(0.08) + 0.02(0.92) = 0.0944[/tex]

0.0944 = 9.44% probability that the community health service will diagnose an adult over 50 as having diabetes.

Item b:

Event A: Positive test.Event B: Has the disease.

From item a, [tex]P(A) = 0.0944[/tex].

The probability of both a positive test and having the disease is:

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.95(0.08)[/tex]

Hence, the conditional probability is:

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.95(0.08)}{0.0944} = 0.8051[/tex]

0.8051 = 80.51% probability that a person over 50 diagnosed by the health service as having diabetes actually has the disease.

The only zero of the equation 0=18c³−50c is c = 0, as it makes the equation true when substituted.

value is a zero of the equation 0 = 18c³ - 50c,

putting in the value for c

If c = 0:

0 = 18(0)³ - 50(0)

0 = 0 - 0

0 = 0 (True)

If c = 2:

0 = 18(2)³ - 50(2)

0 = 18(8) - 100

0 = 144 - 100

0 = 44 (False)

If c = -1:

0 = 18(-1)³ - 50(-1)

0 = 18(-1) + 50

0 = -18 + 50

0 = 32 (False)

only c = 0 is a zero of the equation 0 = 18c³ - 50c.

The equation 0 = 18c³ - 50c has only one zero, which is c = 0, as it satisfies the equation when substituted.
