The correct answer is: h(t) = -5t + 500; from the table it is visible that the time difference is 5 seconds; the sign before 500 must be be "+", for we're talking about 500 feet above the ground.

We are given that the elevator is descending, so the coefficient of t must be negative. The elevator's initial position is 500 feet above the ground, so this is a positive value of +500. Therefore the only choice that fits these is h(t) = -5t + 500.

I rent a gym for $150.00 for 30 students. Another time I rent the gym for $270.00 for 70 students. I need to find a fixed rate.

masha68 [24]

Answer: y = 3x + 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up two equations and solve the system:

270 = 70x + b

- (150 = 30x + b)

120 = 40x

3 = x

Input "x" into one of the equations and solve for "b":

150 = 30x + b

150 = 30(3) + b

150 = 90 + b

60 = b

Equation: y = 3x + 60

This means that there is a flat fee of $60 plus a rate of $3 per student

Assume that x is a char variable has been declared and already given a value. Write an expression whose value is true if and onl

Lorico [155]

Answer:

bool b = isupper(x);

Step-by-step explanation:

I have written the expression for a char variable x.The isupper(x) will return true if the character x is upper case and false if the character x is lower case.

I have stored the returned value to a bool variable b .So the value of variable b will be true only when the x is in uppercase and false when b is lower case.

t Technodynamics, Inc., a randomly-selected hiring committee of 3 people is formed from a group of 4 employees in marketing an

atroni [7]

Answer: a) 0.25, b) 0.78, c) 0.71

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of employees in marketing = 4

Number of employees in management = 7

We need to hire committee of 3 people.

a) Find the probability that the committee has exactly 2 employees from marketing.

So, Probability becomes

$\dfrac{^4C_2\times ^7C_1}{^{11}C_3}\\\\=\dfrac{42}{165}\\\\=0.25$

b) Find the probability that the committee has at least one employee from marketing.

$P(x\geq 1)=1-P(x=0)\\\\P(x\geq 1)=1-\dfrac{^7C_3}{^{11}C_3}=1-0.212=0.78$

c) Find the probability that the committee has at most one employee from management.

$P(x\leq 1)=P(x=0)+P(x=1)\\\\P(x\leq 1)=\dfrac{^7C_3}{^{11}C_3}+\dfrac{^7C_2\times ^4C_1}{^{11}C_3}\\\\P(x\leq 1)=0.21+0.50=0.71$

Hence, a) 0.25, b) 0.78, c) 0.71

Determine the value of (tangent of 88 degrees, 22 minutes, and 45 seconds). In this case, minutes are 1/60 of a degree and secon

mariarad [96]

Answer:

c. 35.34015106

Step-by-step explanation:

As with many problems of this nature, you only need to get close to be able to choose the correct answer. 22 minutes 45 seconds is just slightly less than 1/2 degree (30 minutes), so the tangent value will be just slightly less than tan(88.5°) ≈ 38. The appropriate choice is 35.34015106.

If you need confirmation, you can find tan(88°) ≈ 29, so you know the answer will be between 29 and 38.

The above has to do with strategies for choosing answers on multiple-choice problems. Below, we will work the problem.

The angle is (in degrees) ...

88 + 22/60 +45/3600 = 88 + (22·60 +45)/3600 = 88 +1365/3600

≈ 88.3791666... (repeating) . . . . degrees

A calculator tells you the tangent of that is ...

tan(88.3791666...°) ≈ 35.3401510614

Many calculators will round that to 10 digits, as in the answer above. Others can give a value correct to 32 digits. Spreadsheet values will often be correct to 15 or 16 digits.
