when a plane flies with the wind, it can travel 1980 miles in 4.5 hours. when the plane flies in the opposite direction, against

the wind, it takes 5.5 hours to fly the same distance. find the velocity of the plane in still air and the average velocity of the wind.

Velocity with wind = 1,980 / 4.5 = 440 mph
Velocity against wind =1,980 / 5.5 = 360 mph
Plane in still air - wind speed = 360
Plane in still air + wind speed =440
Adding both equations:
2*Plane in still air = 800
Plane in still air = 400 mph
Plane in still air + wind speed =440
Therefore, wind speed = 40 mph

What is the true solution to the equation below?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

some rules of logarithmic function

ln(a) - ln(b)=ln(\frac{a}{b})

e^{ln(a)}=a

ln(a)^{n}=nln(a) vice-versa nln(a)=ln(a)^{n}

If ㏑(a) = ㏑(b), then a = b

∴ 2ln(e^{ln(2x)})-ln(e^{ln(10x)})=ln(30)

Use the 2nd rule to simplify it

e^{ln(2x)}=2x\\e^{ln(10x)}=10x\\

2㏑(2x) - ㏑(10x) = ㏑(30)

Use the 3rd rule in the 1st term

∵ 2㏑(2x) = ㏑(2x)² = ㏑(4x²)

∴ ㏑(4x²) - ㏑(10x) = ㏑(30)

- Use the 1st rule with the left hand side

ln(4x^{2})-ln(10x)=ln(\frac{4x^{2}}{10x})\\\\ln(\frac{4x^{2}}{10x})=ln(30)\\\\ \frac{4x^{2}}{10x}=\frac{2x}{5}=\frac{2}{5}x\\\\ ln(\frac{2}{5}x)=ln(30)

Use the 4th rule

\frac{2}{5} x = 30

Multiply both sides by 5

∴ 2 x = 150

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ x = 75

The value of x = 75

Compute P7,2. (Enter an exact number.)
Katarina [22]

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

The permutation formula is P(n, r) = n! / (n - r)!. We know that n = 7 and r = 2 so we can write:

7! / (7 - 2)!

= 7! / 5!

= 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 / 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1

= 7 * 6 (5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 cancels out)

= 42

The quality control team of a company checked 800 digital cameras for defects. The team found that 20 cameras had lens defects,
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

0.025

Step-by-step explanation:

-This is a conditional probability problem.

-Let L denote lens defect and C charging defect.

#We first calculate the probability of a camera having a lens defect;

P(lens)=\frac{Lens}{Total}\\\\=\frac{20}{800}\\\\=0.025

#Calculate the probability of a camera having a charging defect:

P(Charging)=\frac{Charging}{Total}\\\\=\frac{25}{800}\\\\=0.03125

The  the probability that a camera has a lens defect given that it has a charging defect is calculated as:

P(L|C)=\frac{P(C)P(L)}{P(C)}\\\\=\frac{0.025\times 0.03125}{0.03125}\\\\=0.025

Hence,  the probability that a camera has a lens defect given that it has a charging defect is 0.025
