A 5 m long car is overtaking a 19 m long bus. The bus is travelling at a constant speed of 25 m/s. The car takes 3 s to overtake the bus. We assume that overtaking starts when the frontmost part of the car crosses the backmost part of the bus and ends when the backmost part of the car crosses the frontmost part of the bus. So at what constant speed (in m/s) is the car driving?

To find the median of the data, we first need to arrange the numbers in order from smallest to largest:

3, 14, 624

Since we have an odd number of data points, the median is the middle number. In this case, the median is 14.

Therefore, the median of the data collected is 14 meters.

Answer:

It is a trapezoid

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, the given points represent the vertices of a trapezoid.

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides. In this case, the parallel sides are AB and CD. The other two sides, AD and BC, are not parallel.

The trapezoid is not isosceles because the two non-parallel sides are not congruent. AD has a length of 6 units, while BC has a length of 4 units.

Here is a diagram of the trapezoid:

A(-4,-1)

B((-4,6)

C(2,6)

D(2,-4)

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides. In this case, sides AB and CD are parallel because they have the same slope. So, the given points do represent the vertices of a trapezoid.

An isosceles trapezoid has two congruent legs (non-parallel sides). In this case, the length of side AD is `sqrt((-4-2)^2+(-1+4)^2)=sqrt(36+9)=sqrt(45)` and the length of side BC is `sqrt((-4-2)^2+(6-6)^2)=sqrt(36+0)=sqrt(36)`. Since `sqrt(45)` is not equal to `sqrt(36)`, the trapezoid is not isosceles.

The length of GC is 22.5

Here we know that the triangles GHC and JKC are similar, we know that the corresponding angles are congruent.

That is, angle GHC is equal to angle JKC, angle HGC is equal to angle KJC, and angle CHG is equal to angle CKJ.

∠GHC = ∠JKC

∠HGC = ∠KJC

∠CHG = ∠CKJ

We can denote this as:

ΔGHC ~ Δ JKC

Using the concept of similarity, we can write the following proportion:

GC/ JK = HC/ KC

Here, GC represents the length of the corresponding side of triangle GHC, and JK represents the length of the corresponding side of triangle JKC. HC and KC represent the lengths of the other sides that are also proportional.

We can cross-multiply to get:

GC × KC = HC × JK

Now, we can substitute the values we know.

The Laplace transform of the solution to the initial value problem y'' + y' - 2y = 0, y(0) = -5, is Y(s) = (5s + 4) / (s² + s - 2), and Y(5) = 29 / 28.

To find the Laplace transform of the solution to the initial value problem y'' + y' - 2y = 0, y(0) = -5, we can apply the Laplace transform to both sides of the differential equation and use the initial condition to solve for the Laplace transform of y.

Taking the Laplace transform of both sides of the differential equation, using the linearity and derivative properties of the Laplace transform, we get:

L{y'' + y' - 2y} = L{0}

s² Y(s) - s y(0) - y'(0) + s Y(s) - y(0) - 2 Y(s) = 0

s² Y(s) - 5s + s Y(s) + 4 + 2 Y(s) = 0

Simplifying and solving for Y(s), we get:

Y(s) = (5s + 4) / (s²+ s - 2)

To find Y(5), we substitute s = 5 into the expression for Y(s):

Y(5) = (5(5) + 4) / ((5)² + 5 - 2)

The length of the rectangle is 19 feet and its width is 13 feet.

Let's denote the width of the rectangle by w. Then, according to the problem statement, the length of the rectangle is 6 feet longer, which means it is equal to w + 6.

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula:

perimeter = 2 × length + 2 × width

Substituting the expressions for length and width that we have just found, we get:

64 = 2 × (w + 6) + 2w

Simplifying the right-hand side:

64 = 2w + 12 + 2w

64 = 4w + 12

52 = 4w

w = 13

So the width of the rectangle is 13 feet. Using the expression for the length we found earlier, the length is:

length = w + 6 = 13 + 6 = 19

Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 19 feet and its width is 13 feet.

a. The probability that exactly 90 people say they use the Internet is 0.0391

b. The probability that at least 90 people say they use the Internet is 0.1933

c. The probability that fewer than 90 people say they use the Internet is 0.8067

d. The first probability is unusual

(a) Find the probability that exactly 90 people say they use the Internet.

P(X = 90) = C(100, 90) * (0.93)^90 * (0.07)^10

P(X = 90) ≈ 0.0391

(b) Find the probability that at least 90 people say they use the Internet.

P(X ≥ 90) = P(X = 90) + P(X = 91) + ... + P(X = 100)

To calculate this, we can use cumulative binomial probability:

P(X ≥ 90) ≈ 1 - P(X ≤ 89) ≈ 1 - 0.8067 = 0.1933

(c) Find the probability that fewer than 90 people say they use the Internet.

P(X < 90) = P(X ≤ 89)

P(X < 90) ≈ 0.8067

(d) Are any of the probabilities in parts (a)-(c) unusual? Explain.

A probability is generally considered unusual if it is less than 0.05 or greater than 0.95. Based on the calculated probabilities:

P(X = 90) ≈ 0.0391: This probability is unusual since it is less than 0.05.

P(X ≥ 90) ≈ 0.1933: This probability is not unusual.

P(X < 90) ≈ 0.8067: This probability is not unusual.

So, only the probability of exactly 90 people saying they use the Internet is considered unusual.

The only value of x where f'(x) = 0 is x = 0.

Let's find all values of x where the derivative of f(x) = [tex]arcsin(e^(2x) – 2x)[/tex] is equal to 0.

Step 1: Find the derivative f'(x) using the chain rule.

For this, we'll need to differentiate [tex]arcsin(u)[/tex] with respect to u, which is [tex](1/√(1-u^2))[/tex], and then multiply by the derivative of u [tex](e^(2x) – 2x)[/tex]with respect to x. So, f'(x) = [tex](1/√(1-(e^(2x) – 2x)^2)) * d(e^(2x) – 2x)/dx[/tex]

Step 2: Find the derivative of e^(2x) – 2x with respect to x. Using the chain rule and the derivative of [tex]e^u: d(e^(2x) – 2x)/dx = 2e^(2x) – 2[/tex]

Step 3: Combine the derivatives. f'(x) =[tex](1/√(1-(e^(2x) – 2x)^2)) * (2e^(2x) – 2)[/tex]

Step 4: Set f'(x) equal to 0 and solve for x. [tex](1/√(1-(e^(2x) – 2x)^2)) * (2e^(2x) – 2) = 0[/tex]

Since the first part of the product [tex](1/√(1-(e^(2x) – 2x)^2))[/tex] is never 0, we can focus on the second part: [tex]2e^(2x) – 2 = 0[/tex]

Step 5: Solve for x. [tex]2e^(2x) = 2 e^(2x) = 1[/tex]

The only way this is true is when 2x = 0, since [tex]e^0 = 1: 2x = 0 x = 0[/tex]

The probability that a student at Kennedy High School plays on the football team given that they already play in the band is 2/1 or simply 2.

To solve this problem, we can use conditional probability. We want to find the probability that a student plays on the football team given that they already play in the band.

Let's use the formula for conditional probability:

P(Football | Band) = P(Football and Band) / P(Band)

We know that P(Band) = 0.15, and P(Football and Band) = 0.3.

So,

P(Football | Band) = 0.3 / 0.15

Simplifying, we get:

P(Football | Band) = 2

Therefore, the probability that a student at Kennedy High School plays on the football team given that they already play in the band is 2/1 or simply 2.

Note: This answer may seem unusual because probabilities are typically expressed as fractions or decimals between 0 and 1. However, in this case, we can interpret the result as saying that students who play in the band are twice as likely to also play on the football team compared to the overall population of students.

The first derivative of S is S' = 1/15.
The second derivative of S is S'' = 0.

To find the first derivative (S'):

Starting with the given equation S = 15 + 344 - 1 15, we can simplify it to S = 344 + 15.

We can take the derivative of each term separately since they are added together.

The derivative of a constant (15 and 344) is always 0, so we only need to take the derivative of 1/15.

S' = d/dx (344 + 15)

= d/dx (359)

= 0 + 0 + (d/dx (1/15))

= 1/15

Therefore, the first derivative of S is S' = 1/15.

To find the second derivative (S''):

We need to take the derivative of the first derivative (S').

Since the derivative of a constant is always 0,

we only need to take the derivative of 1/15.

S'' = d/dx (S')

= d/dx (1/15)

= 0

One point that would lie on the second line is (0,-4). Another  possible point on the 2nd line is (0, 12).

To find the equation of the first line, we can use the slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The slope of the line passing through (-3,8) and (1,9) can be found using the formula:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

m = (9 - 8) / (1 - (-3))

m = 1/4

Using one of the points and the slope, we can find the y-intercept:

8 = (1/4)(-3) + b

b = 9

So the equation of the first line is:

y = (1/4)x + 9

To find the equation of the second line, we need to use the fact that it is perpendicular to the first line. The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals, so the slope of the second line is:

m2 = -1/m1 = -1/(1/4) = -4

Using the point-slope form, we can write the equation of the second line:

y - 4 = -4(x + 2)

y - 4 = -4x - 8

y = -4x - 4

To find a point that lies on this line, we can plug in a value for x and solve for y. For example, if we let x = 0, then:

y = -4(0) - 4

y = -4

So the point (0,-4) lies on the second line.

Therefore, another point that would lie on the second line is (0,-4).

The equation of the two straight lines through the origin making an angle of 45° with the line px + qy + r = 0 is (p²-q)(x² - y²) + 4pqxy = 0.

To prove that the equation of the two straight lines through the origin, making an angle of 45° with the line px + qy + r = 0, is given by (p²-q)(x² - y²) + 4pqxy = 0, we can use the concept of slopes and trigonometric identities.

Let's consider the line px + qy + r = 0. The slope of this line is given by -p/q.

Now, the lines making an angle of 45° with this line will have slopes equal to tan(45°), which is 1.

Using the formula for the tangent of the sum of angles, we have:

tan(45°) = (m - (-p/q))/(1 + m(-p/q)), where m represents the slope of one of the lines.

Simplifying the equation, we get:

1 = (mq + p)/(q - mp)

Cross-multiplying and rearranging the terms, we obtain:

(p² - q)(m² - 1) + 2pqm = 0

Since these lines pass through the origin (0,0), we can replace m with y/x. Substituting y/x for m in the equation above, we get:

(p² - q)(x² - y²) + 2pqxy = 0

Further simplifying the equation, we arrive at:

(p² - q)(x² - y²) + 4pqxy = 0

Hence, we have proven that the equation of the two straight lines through the origin, making an angle of 45° with the line px + qy + r = 0, is given by (p²-q)(x² - y²) + 4pqxy = 0.

(d) The cost of City Bus for driving 68 miles = $20.4.

We previously choose City Bus as our mode transport since the per mile cost for City Bus is less.

Let the model for City Bus be f(x) = cx + d, where f(x) is total cost and x is number of miles.

From the table of Taxi we get, f(2) = 0.60; f(4) = 1.20; f(6) = 1.80 and f(8) = 2.40.

So, 2a + b = 0.60 and 4a + b = 1.20

(4a + b) - (2a + b) = 1.20 - 0.60

2a = 0.60

a = 0.60/2 = 0.30

Now, f(8) = 2.40

8*0.30 + b = 2.40

2.40 + b = 2.40

b = 2.40 - 2.40 = 0

We can compute the monthly payments for each loan choice using this formula:

1. 12 Monthly interest rate = 0.0625/12 = 0.00521, monthly payment = (1250 + (1250 * 0.00521 * 12)) / 12 = $107.35

2. 18 months at 6.75%: monthly interest rate = 0.0675/12 = 0.00563, monthly payment = (1250 + (1250 * 0.00563 * 18)) / 18 = $81.96

3. 24 months at 6.5%: monthly interest rate = 0.065/12 = 0.00542, monthly payment = (1250 + (1250 * 0.00542 * 24)) / 24 = $66.14

4. 30 months at 6%: monthly interest rate = 0.06/12 = 0.005, monthly payment = (1250 + (1250 * 0.005 * 30)) / 30 = $45.83

Based on these calculations, the loan with the smallest monthly payment is the 30-month loan at 6% annual simple interest rate, with a monthly payment of $45.83.

Noah's estimate of 7.5 hours is closest to the actual mean number of hours of sleep reported by the ten sixth-grade students.

We have,

Compare the estimates given by Lin, Noah, and Diego.

Lin's estimate is 8.5 hours.

Noah's estimate is 7.5 hours.

Diego's estimate is 6.5 hours.

The average of these three estimates:

(8.5 + 7.5 + 6.5) / 3

= 22.5 / 3

= 7.5

It appears that Noah's estimate of 7.5 hours is the closest.

Therefore,

Noah's estimate of 7.5 hours is closest to the actual mean number of hours of sleep reported by the ten sixth-grade students.

The complete question:

Which estimate of the mean number of hours of sleep reported by the ten sixth-grade students is closest to the actual mean: Lin's estimate of 8.5 hours, Noah's estimate of 7.5 hours, or Diego's estimate of 6.5 hours?

Answer:

  A)  x < 15

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the solution to x/3 < 5.

The steps to solving an inequality are basically identical to the steps for solving an equation. There are a couple of differences:

If this were and equation, it would be a "one-step" equation. That step is to multiply both sides by the inverse of the coefficient of x.

The coefficient of x is 1/3. Its inverse is 3. Multiplying both sides by 3, we have ...

  3(x/3) < 3(5)

  x < 15 . . . . . . . . . simplify

Note that 3 is a positive number, so we leave the inequality symbol pointing the same direction.

Additional comment

We can swap the sides of an equation based on the symmetric property of equality:

  a = b   ⇔   b = a

When we swap the sides of an inequality, we need to preserve the relationship between them. (This is the meaning of "respect the direction of the inequality symbol".)

  a < b   ⇔   b > a

Besides multiplying and dividing by a negative number, there are other operations that affect the order of values.

Note that the 1/x function is another one that has negative slope, which is why it reverses the ordering for values with the same sign. (It has no effect on ordering of values with opposite signs.)

Using tangents theorem, we can find the value of the missing length,

n = 18.7units.

"To touch" is how the word "tangent" is defined. The same idea is conveyed by the Latin word "tangere". A tangent, in general, is a line that, while never entering the circle, precisely touches it at one point on its circumference. A circle has a number of tangents. They make a straight angle with the radius.

Here in the diagram,

We can see that as per the central angle and tangent theorem,

AB/BC = ED/DC

⇒ 17/10 = n/11

Cross multiplying:

⇒ 17 × 11 = n × 10

⇒ 10n = 187

⇒ n = 187/10

⇒ n = 18.7
