Answer:

The probability that both tests detect the bacteria is  83.66% ....

Step-by-step explanation:

First test has a probability of giving accurate results = 94% = 0.94

Second test has a probability of giving accurate results = 89% = 0.89

The probability that both tests detect the bacteria is:

Multiply both the probabilities:

=0.94*0.89

= 0.8366

Converting the value into percentage, we get

0.8366*100

= 83.66%

Thus the probability that both tests detect the bacteria is  83.66% ....

The equation r(t)= (2t)i + (2t-16t^2)j is the position of a particle in space at time t. Find the angle between the velocity and
ankoles [38]

Answer:

The answer is 135 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we are given the position. If we take the <u>derivative</u>, we get the velocity vector. If we take the <u>derivative</u> again, we find the acceleration vector of the particle.

r(t)=(2t)i+(2t-16t^{2})j

V(t)=2i+(2-32t)j

a(t)=-32j

At time t=0;

v(t)=2i+2j

a(t)=-32j

As i attach in the picture the angle between the velocity and acceleration vector is (45+90)=135 degrees

a motor boat traveled 18 miles down a river in 2 hours but took 4.5 hours to return upstream. Find the rate of the motor boat in
tangare [24]

Answer:

  • rate of the boat in still water = 6.5 miles / hour

  • rate of the current = 2.5 miles / hour.

Explanation:

<u>1) Name the two variables:</u>

  • c: rate of the current
  • b: rate of the boat in still water:

With that, the net rates of the boat down the river and upstrean are:

  • down the river: b + c
  • upstream: b - c

<u>2) Now set the equations for the distance as a function of the times and the rates:</u>

  • distance = rate × time

  • downstream: 18 miles = (b + c) × 2 hours
  • upstream: 18 miles = (b - c) × 4.5 hours

<u>3) Set the system of equations:</u>

  • 18 = 2(b + c) ⇒ 9 = b + c . .  . Equation (1)
  • 18 = 4.5 (b - c) ⇒ 4 = b - c . . . Equation (2)

<u>4) Solve the system by </u><u>elimination</u><u>:</u>

  • Add equations (1) and (2): 9 + 4 = 2b
  • Divide both sides by 2: 13/2 = b
  • Simplify: b = 6.5

  • Replace b with 6.5 in equation (2) and solve:

       4 = 6.5 - c ⇒ c = 6.5 - 4 = 2.5

<u>5) Results:</u>

  • b = rate of the boat in still water = 6.5 miles / hour

  • c = rate of the current = 2.5 miles / hour.

JL has coordinates J(-6, 1) and L(-4,3).<br> Find the coordinates of the midpoint.
ikadub [295]

Answer:

The coordinates of the mid-point of JL are (-5 , 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

If point (x , y) is the mid-point of a segment whose end-points are (x_{1},y_{1}) and (x_{2},y_{2}), then x=\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2} and  y=\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}

∵ JL is a segment

∵ The coordinates of J are (-6 , 1)

∴  x_{1} = -6 and  y_{1} = 1

∵ The coordinates of L are (-4 , 3)

∴  x_{2} = -4 and  y_{2} = 3

Lets use the rule above to find the mid-point of JL

∵ x=\frac{-6+-4}{2}=\frac{-10}{2}

∴ x = -5

∴ The x-coordinate of the mid-point is -5

∵ y=\frac{1+3}{2}=\frac{4}{2}

∴ y = 2

∴ The y-coordinate of the mid-point is 2

∴ The coordinates of the mid-point of JL are (-5 , 2)

vladimir2022 [97]
Given that the basket of watermelons sells for $9 before tax and the tax rate is 9%.

The tax on the basket of watermelons is given by

\frac{9\%}{100\%} \times\$9=0.09\times\$9 \\  \\ =\$0.81

Therefore, the total price Tiffany pays for the basket of watermelons is $9 + $0.81 = $9.81
