Two cars simultaneously left Points A and B and headed towards each other, and met after 3 hours and 15 minutes. The distance be

tween points A and B is 364 miles. What is the speeds of the cars, if one of the cars travels 12 mph faster than the other?

Answer:

Speed of one car=50 mph

Speed of another car=50+12=62 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of one car= x mile/hr

Speed of another car=(x+12) miles/hr

Time=3 hours 15 minutes= $3+\frac{15}{60}=\frac{13}{4} hr$

Because 1 hr=60 minutes

Distance between point A and B=364 miles

Distance = $speed\times time$

According to question

$\frac{13}{4}x+\frac{13}{4}(x+12)=364$

$\frac{13x}{4}+\frac{13x}{4}+39=364$

$\frac{26x}{4}=364-39=325$

$\frac{13x}{2}=325$

$x=\frac{325\times 2}{13}=50$

Speed of one car=50 mph

Speed of another car=50+12=62 mph

Answer:

50 mph, 62 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Their total speed is found from ...

speed = distance/time

speed = (364 mi)/(3.25 h) = 112 mi/h

If s is the speed of the slower car, then ...

s + (s+12) = 112 . . . . . their total speed is 112 mph

2s = 100 . . . . . . . . . . simplify, subtract 12

s = 50 . . . . . . . the speed of the slower car

s+12 = 62 . . . . the speed of the faster car

Alice studies the relationship between climate and heart disease around the world. H(t)H(t)H, left parenthesis, t, right parenth

ddd [48]

Answer:

The domain of the function H(t), is [-5, 30].

The range of the function H(t), is [(10% + average), (average - 20%)]

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a function is the complete set of possible values of the independent variable.

For this question, the function is H(t), with the temperature, t, serving as the independent variables and H(t) the evidently dependent variable.

The domain of a function refers to all the possible independent variable values that will give corresponding real dependent variable values.

For this question, Alice's model has the probability for the occurrence of heart disease (in percents relative to the global average) at an area, H(t) varying with the temperature of that area in degree Celsius.

At a temperature of -5°C (the lowest temperature in the model), the probability is 10% above the average.

Then, the probability decreases with increase in temperature, taking a value 20% lower than the average when the temperature is at its highest of 30°C in the model.

So, temperature ranges from -5°C to 30°C and the probability for the occurrence of heart disease ranges from 10% above the average to 20% below the average.

The domain of the function H(t), from the definition given above would therefore be [-5, 30]

And the range of the function H(t), is [(10% + average), (average - 20%)]

Hope this Helps!!!

The sum of the four angles in a rectangle is always 180 degrees true or false?

dem82 [27]

A rectangle has 4 sides
each side is a right angle
a right angle by definition is 90 degrees
$90 + 90 + 90 + 90 = 360\\ or\\ 90 * 4 = 360$
False

Answer:

0% probability that at least 1,500 will agree to respond

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

In this problem, we have that:

$n = 15000, p = 0.09$

So

$\mu = E(X) = np = 15000*0.09 = 1350$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{15000*0.09*0.91} = 35.05$

What is the probability that at least 1,500 will agree to respond

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1500-1 = 1499. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{1499 - 1350}{35.05}$

$Z = 4.25$

$Z = 4.25$ has a pvalue of 1.

1 - 1 = 0

0% probability that at least 1,500 will agree to respond

Use the double intercept approach to find the graph of –1 = –y + x. A. B. C. D.

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Intercepts at (-1, 0) and (0, 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

The double intercept form for the equation of a line is

ax + by = 1

-1 = -y + x

<em> y = 0 </em>

<em> </em>x = -1 Multiply each side by -1

-x = 1

The <em>x-intercept</em> is at (-1, 0).

=====

<em> x = 0 </em>

-1 = -y Multiply each side by -1

y = 1

The <em>y-intercept</em> is at (0, 1).

=====

The graph (see below) is a straight line passing through the points (-1, 0) and (0, 1).
