Answer:

The length of the subway on the map is 2.83\ inches

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale on the map is equal to the length of the subway on the map divided by the length of the subway in the actual

so

Let

z------> the scale on the map

x------> the length of the subway on the map

y------> the length of the subway in the actual

z=\frac{x}{y}

In this problem we have

z=\frac{0.15}{45}\frac{inches}{miles}

y=850\ miles

substitute and solve for x

\frac{0.15}{45}=\frac{x}{850}

x=850*\frac{0.15}{45}=2.83\ inches

A sand dune stands 5 feet above sea level. The hill is eroding at a rate of 1 foot per 20 years. Let y represent the height of t
Andrews [41]
The situation will be represented by linear equation, this is given by:
y=ax+b
where:
a=slope=rate
b=y-intercept
from our situation:

a=-1/20
b=5 ft
thus the equation modeling the situation will be:
y=-1/20x+5

Answer: y=-1/20x+5

"Which of the following are continuous functions? (Select all that apply.)
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

  □ The temperature at a specific location as a function of time.

  □ The temperature at a specific time as a function of the distance due west from New York City.

  □ The altitude above sea level as a function of the distance due west from New York City.

Step-by-step explanation:

Temperature tends to vary continuously over distance and time.

Altitude rarely changes so abruptly we'd have to say it is a discontinuous function. Even a cliff has a (very high) defined slope.

Taxi charges tend to increment according to a rate schedule. That is, for each passing minute or fraction of a mile, the amount due jumps to a new value. We'd have to say those are discontinuous.

The nature of electrical circuits is such that current is never discontinuous. Even when the circuit is disconnected by a switch, the arcing at the switch contacts ensures the current is continuous as it rapidly goes to zero.

Please Help! 50 points!!! (Dont spam my question ill report you)
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1)The probability of success in each of the 58 identical engine tests is p=0.92

n = 58

mean, u = np = 58×0.92 = 53.36

2) The only value that would be considered usual for this distribution is 91. This is because it is the only value between the minimum and maximum value

3) n = 546

p = 17/100 = 0.17

Mean = np = 546×0.17= 92.82

4) n = 1035

p = 36/100 = 0.36

np = 1035 × 0.36 = 372.6

5) The probability of success is 0.2.

p = 0.2

q= 1-p = 1-0.2 = 0.8

n = 35

standard deviation =

√npq = √35×0.2×0.8 = 2.34

6) p = 0.25

q = 1-0.25 = 0.75

n = 5

Variance = npq = 5×0.25×0.75 = 0.9

7) n = 982

p = 0.431

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.431 = 0.569

Variance = npq = 982×0.431×0.569= 240.8

8) n = 500

p = 84/100 = 0.84

q = 1-0.84 = 0.16

Standard deviation = √npq

Standard deviation = √500×0.84×0.16 = 8.2

A softball pitcher throws a softball to a catcher behind home plate. The softball is 3 feet above the ground when it leaves the
Xelga [282]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

h(t) = –16t² + 50t + 3

Explanation:

The general form of an equation such as this is h(t) = at² + v₀t + h₀, where a is the constant due to gravity, v₀ is the initial velocity and h₀ is the initial height.

We are given that the constant due to gravity is -16.

The initial velocity is 50, and the initial height is 3; this gives us the equation

h(t) = -16t² + 50t + 3
