Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

At the end of 8 hours, the car and truck were 1048 miles apart. So they were traveling 1048/8 = 131 miles per hour apart.

The car traveled 19 miles per hour faster than the truck. So car speed = truck speed + 19

Substituting, truck speed + truck speed + 19 = 131

2x truck speed = 112

Truck speed = 56 miles per hour

Car speed = 56 + 19 = 75 miles per hour

Truck speed be x
car travel at x+19
they travel in opposite directions
so the separation is (x+x+19) * no. of hours
1048 = (2x+19)*8
x = ((1048/8) - 19)/2
=56

truck speed is 56 miles per hour
car speed is 56+19 = 75 miles per hour

Grandma is trying out a new recipe for raisin bread. Each batch of bread dough makes three loaves, and each loaf contains 15 sli
Tom [10]

Answer:

0.108

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the poisson probability process :

Where :

P(x =x) = (e^-λ * λ^x) ÷ x!

Given that :

Each batch of bread = 3 loaves

Each loaf = 15 slices

Total slice per batch = 15 * 3 = 45 slices

Number of raising added = 100

Average number of raisin per slice, λ = 100/45 = 20/9

Hence,

Probability that a randomly chosen slice has no raising :

P(x = 0) = (e^-λ * λ^x) ÷ x!

P(x = 0) = (e^-(100/45) * (100/45)^0) ÷ 0!

P(x = 0) = (0.1083680 * 1) / 1

P(x = 0) = 0.108

​(c) if the corresponding terms of two arithmetic sequences are​ added, is the resulting sequence​ arithmetic?
Harman [31]

To determine whether the corresponding terms of 2 arithmetic sequence's added will give new arithmetic sequence or not, Let' take 2 Arithmetic sequences.

In one first term is a1 and common difference is d1, in the other first term is a2 and common difference is d2.

Now nth term for first sequence = a1+(n-1) d1

  nth term for second sequence = a2+(n-1) d2

Now add the 2 terms: a1+(n-1)d1 +a2 +(n-1)d2

                                   = a1+a2 + (n-1)(d1+d2)

This is again new arithmetic sequence with first term a1+a2 and common difference d1+d2.

Hence if we add corresponding terms of 2 arithmetic sequence, we will again get an arithmetic sequence.
