You can run at a speed of 4 mph and swim at a speed of 2 mph and are located on the shore, 6 miles east of an island that is 1 mile north of the shoreline. How far (in mi) should you run west to minimize the time needed to reach the island
9514 1404 393
Answer:
5.423 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the distance to run. Then the remaining distance to the point that is closest to the island is (6-x) miles. The straight-line distance (d) to the point x from the island is given by the Pythagorean theorem:
d² = 1² +(6 -x)² = x² -12x +37
d = √(x² -12x +37)
The total travel time is the sum of times running and swimming. Each time is found from ...
time = distance/speed
total time = x/4 + d/2 = x/4 +(1/2)√(x² -12x +37)
__
The total time will be minimized when its derivative with respect to x is zero.
t' = 1/4 +(1/4)(2x -12)/√(x² -12x +37) = 0
Multiplying by 4 and combining fractions, we can see the numerator will be ...
√(x² -12x +37) +2x -12 = 0
Subtracting the radical term and squaring both sides, we get ...
4x² -48x +144 = x² -12x +37
3x² -36x +107 = 0
The quadratic formula tells us the smaller of the two roots is ...
x = (36 -√(36² -4(3)(107)))/(2(3)) = (36 -√12)/6 ≈ 5.423 . . . mi
You should run 5.423 miles west to minimize the time needed to reach the island.
__
A graphing calculator solves this nicely. The attached graph shows the time is a minimum when you run 5.423 miles.

7 gallons to 40 quarts
9514 1404 393
Answer:
7/10
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to make the units cancel, they must be the same. There are 4 quarts in 1 gallon, so 40 quarts = 10×4 quarts = 10×(1 gal) = 10 gal.
Then the ratio is ...
(7 gal)/(10 gal) = 7/10
n a history class there are 88 history majors and 88 non-history majors. 44 students are randomly selected to present a topic. What is the probability that at least 22 of the 44 students selected are non-history majors
Answer:
0.5675 = 56.75% probability that at least 22 of the 44 students selected are non-history majors.
Step-by-step explanation:
The students are chosen without replacement from the sample, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question. We are working also with a sample with more than 10 history majors and 10 non-history majors, which mean that the normal approximation can be used to solve this question.
Hypergeometric distribution:
The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:
[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]
In which:
x is the number of successes.
N is the size of the population.
n is the size of the sample.
k is the total number of desired outcomes.
Combinations formula:
[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
Normal Probability Distribution
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Approximation:
We have to use the mean and the standard deviation of the hypergeometric distribution, that is:
[tex]\mu = \frac{nk}{N}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{nk(N-k)(N-n)}{N^2(N-1)}}[/tex]
In this question:
88 + 88 = 176 students, which means that [tex]N = 176[/tex]
88 non-history majors, which means that [tex]k = 88[/tex]
44 students are selected, which means that [tex]n = 44[/tex]
Mean and standard deviation:
[tex]\mu = \frac{44*88}{176} = 22[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{44*88*(176-88)*(176-44)}{176^2(175-1)}} = 2.88[/tex]
What is the probability that at least 22 of the 44 students selected are non-history majors?
Using continuity correction, as the hypergeometric distribution is discrete and the normal is continuous, this is [tex]P(X \geq 22 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 21.5)[/tex], which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 21.5. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{21.5 - 22}{2.88}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.17[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.17[/tex] has a p-value of 0.4325
1 - 0.4325 = 0.5675
0.5675 = 56.75% probability that at least 22 of the 44 students selected are non-history majors.

(1 point) There were 23.7 million licensed drivers in California in 2009 and 22.76 million in 2004. Find a formula for the number, N, of licensed drivers in the US as a function of t, the number of years since 2004, assuming growth is (a) Linear N(t)
Answer:
N(t) = 0.188t + 22.76
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of licensed drivers in 2004 = 22.76 million
Number of licensed drivers in 2009 = 23.7 million
Number of licensed drivers, N as a function of t since year 2004 ;
General form of a linear function :
y = mx + c
c = intercept ; m = slope
Intercept c = value of y ; when x = 0
Here, population after uerssmmx,
Hence,
In 2004 ;
22.76 = mx + c
x = 0
22.76 = c
Number in 2009
x = number of yesrs after 2004 ; x = 2000 - 2004 = 5years
We can find the slope :
y = m*5 + 22.76
y = 23.7 in 2009
23.7 = 5m + 22.76
23.7 - 22.76 = 5m
m = 0.94 / 5
m = 0.188
Hence, the linear function can be written as :
N(t) = 0.188t + 22.76
A certificate of deposit offers a nominal interest rate of 2.5 percent annually.
If inflation is 1 percent, what is the real rate of return?
To solve this question, the real rate of return formula is used, and we apply the data given in the exercise into the formula to find the real rate of return.
Formula for the real rate of return:
[tex]R = \frac{1 + N}{1 + i} - 1[/tex]
In which N is the nomial rate and i is the inflation rate, as decimals.
A certificate of deposit offers a nominal interest rate of 2.5 percent annually.
This means that [tex]N = 0.025[/tex]
Inflation is 1 percent
This means that [tex]i = 0.01[/tex]
What is the real rate of return:
Now we apply the formula:
[tex]R = \frac{1 + 0.025}{1 + 0.01} - 1[/tex]
[tex]R = 1.0149 - 1[/tex]
[tex]R = 0.0149[/tex]
0.0149*100% = 1.49%
Thus, the real rate of return is of 1.49%.

The circle below is centered at (2, 3) and has a radius of 4. What is its
equation?
A. (x-3)2 + (y - 2)2 = 16
O B. (x-3)2 + (y-2)2 = 4
C. (x - 2)2 + (y - 3)2 = 16
O D. (x-2)2 + (y-6)2 = 4
The equation of the circle is [tex](x - 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 16[/tex] . The option C is the correct option.
Given that the centre of the circle is (2,3) and circle has radius 4.
To find the equation of the circle, use the general equation of the circle as:
[tex](x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2[/tex]
Where (h, k) is the centre of the circle and r is the radius of the circle.
Since, h = 2, k = 3 and radius r = 4.
Therefore, the equation of the circle:
[tex](x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2\\(x-2)^2+(y-3)^2=4^2\\(x-2)^2+(y-3)^2=16[/tex]
The equation of the circle cantered at (2,3) and has a radius of 4 is [tex](x - 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 16[/tex] .
Therefore, The equation of the circle cantered at (2,3) and has a radius of 4 is [tex](x - 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 16[/tex] .

Answer:
8. -2a+14
9. w=3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
8.
The distributive property states that we can multiply each component in the parenthesis separately by the number on the outside, and then add that up to get our final answer.
For -2(a-7), this means that we can multiply -2 by a and then -2 by -7 (as 2 is the number on the outside, and a and -7 are the components in the parenthesis), add them up, and get our answer. This can be expressed as
-2 * a + (-2) * (-7) = final answer
= -2 * a + 14
We know that -2 * -7 = 14 because 2 * 7 = 14, and the two negatives in multiplication cancel each other out
9.
Using the subtraction property of equality, we can isolate the variable (w) and its coefficient (-2/3) by subtracting 5, resulting in
(-2/3)w = 4-5 = -1
Next, we can use the multiplication property of equality to isolate the w. To isolate the w, we can multiply its coefficient by its reciprocal. The reciprocal is the fraction flipped over. For (-2/3), its reciprocal is (-3/2), flipping the 2 and 3. We can multiply both sides by (-3/2) to get
w = (-3/2)
To check this, we can plug (-3/2) for w in our original equation, so
(-2/3) * (-3/2) + 5 = 4
-1 + 5 = 4
4 = 4

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Four relationships are given among four unknowns. Define the following variables: p, c -- the cost of a pie and a cake, respectively. q, d -- the number of pies and cakes, respectively.
q/d = 5/2 . . . . . the ratio of pies to cakes sold
pq +cd = 3780 . . . . revenue from the sales
p = c -35 . . . . . a pie is $35 less than a cake
cd = pq -420 . . . . revenue from cakes is $420 less than for pies
__
The equations are non-linear, so we're making up this process as we go along. We observe that 'pq' and 'cd' are involved in relations that give us their sum and difference, so these products are easily found. Their ratio can let us take advantage of our knowledge of q/d.
Substituting for cd in the second equation, we get ...
pq +(pq -420) = 3780
2pq = 4200
pq = 2100
cd = 2100 -420 = 1680
Now, we can write ...
pq/cd = 2100/1680 = 5/4
(p/c)(q/d) = 5/4 = (p/c)(5/2) . . . . substitute for q/d
p/c = 1/2 = (c -35)/c . . . . . . . . . . substitute for p
c = 2(c -35) . . . . multiply by 2c
c = 70 . . . . . . . . add 70-c

Joe nas to take two quizzes tomorrow. He nas only enough time to study one of them. • The science quiz has 7 true-or-false questions. • The English quiz has 3 multiple-choice questions. Joe calculates the probability that he will get each question correct by guessing. ?
Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Science questions are T/F. That's .5 or [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] chance to get it right.
7 questions. Each with a [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex].
That's [tex](\frac{1}{2})^{7}[/tex]
[tex](\frac{1}{2})^{7}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{128}[/tex] = .0078 = .008 rounded
English questions are multiple choice. 4 choices. That's .25 or [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
3 questions. Each [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
That's [tex](\frac{1}{4})^{3}[/tex]
[tex](\frac{1}{4})^{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{64}[/tex] = .0156 = .016 rounded
The probability of getting all questions correct is 0.004 which is lower than for science (0.016).
Science questions are said to have a 6 out of 6 correct answer range and a 0.5 chance of being answered properly.
So, P(6) = 0.5⁶
P(6) = 0.016
We are informed that there are 4 out of 4 correct answers for English, with a 0.25 chance of getting it right.
Thus; P(4) = 0.25⁴ = 0.004
Thus, we conclude that they will have to study English.
