An osprey flying horizontally 100 feet above a lake spots a fish below. It tilts its flight path downward by 45°. If the osprey is diving at 45 mph, at what rate is its altitude changing (rounded to the nearest foot per second)?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: the rate at which its altitude is changing is -47 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

ds/dt = 45 mph =  45 × 5280/3600 = 66 ft/sec

no we have to determine dx/dt

so

cos∅ = dx/dt / ds/dt

cos45° = dx/dt / 66  

dx/dt = 0.7071 × 66

dx/dt = 46.6686 ≈ 47 ft/s ( as altitude is decreasing, its negative - )

so the rate at which its altitude is changing is -47 ft/s

Delta Airlines' flights from Boston to Seattle are on time 70 % of the time. Suppose 6 flights are randomly selected, and the number on-time flights is recorded. 1.The probability that at least 4 flights are on time is

Answers

Answer:

P(at least 4)  = 0.74431

Step-by-step explanation:

Here

Probability of the flights on time is = 70% = 70/100= 0.7

q= 0.3

n= 6

As the probability of success and failure is constant and the n is also fixed then the binomail probability distribution can be used to solve this.

P (x= 4) = 6c4 *(0.7)^4 (0.3)^2= 15*0.2401* 0.09= 0.324135

P (x= 5) = 6c5 *(0.7)^5(0.3)^1= 6*0.16807* 0.3=0.302526

P (x= 6) = 6c6 *(0.7)^6 (0.3)^0= 0.117649P

P (x= 0) = 6c0 *(0.7)^0 (0.3)^6= 0.000729

P (x= 1) = 6c1 *(0.7)^1 (0.3)^5=0.010206

P (x= 2) = 6c 2*(0.7)^2 (0.3)^4=0.059535

P (x= 3) = 6c3 *(0.7)^3 (0.3)^3=0.18522

Probability of at least 4 means that probability of greater than 4 inclusive of 4.

This can be obtained in two ways.

First is by subtracting the probabilities of less than 4.

Second is by adding probabilities greater than 4 including 4.

We get the same answer with any of the two methods used.

P(at least 4) = 1- P(x<4)

                     = 1- [ 0.000729+ 0.010206 +0.059535+ 0.18522]

                     = 1- 0.25569

                       = 0.74431

P (at least 4) = P(x=4) +P(X=5) + P(x=6)

                        =0.324135+ 0.302526+ 0.117649

                        =0.74431

Blanking on how medians in a triangle work

Answers

A median cuts a leg of a triangle in half. So for instance, PF being a median means that DP and PE are congruent and have the same length. Consequently, each component triangle (that is, ∆DPC, ∆EPC, ∆EQC, etc) all have the same area.

If A is the area of ∆PCE, then the area of ∆PFE is 3A.

Take PF = 24 to be the base of ∆PFE, and take PC to be the base of ∆PCE. The area of any triangle is equal to 1/2 times the base times the height. But ∆PFE and ∆PCE share the same height (you can see this by dropping an altitude from the vertex E down to the line containing PF), so PC is 1/3 the length of PF, so FC must be 2/3 the length of PF.

So FC has length 2/3 × 24 = 16.

Using orders of operations, add 275 to both sides and you will end with

Write an equation in slope-intercept form that is perpendicular to y = -7x + 3 and passing through (14.1).

Answers

Answer:

y = 1/7x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Find the slope.

- In this case, the equation given is in simplest form so you can easily come to the conclusion that '-7' is the slope. But, since the math question wants a slope-intercept form in perpendicular form, the slope would actually be 1/7.

2) Use the point-slope form and substitute the values available. Then solve.

m (slope) = 1/7

(a, b) = (14, 1)

y - b = m(x - a)

y - 1 = 1/7(x - 14)

y - 1 = 1/7x - 2

y = 1/7x - 1

The result is your answer.

Write a linear model for the amount of boxes, b, as a function of the number of hours since they opened, h. Use your model to predict the number of boxes in stock at the end of an 8 hour shift.

Answers

Question:

A company produces boxes of DVDs at a rate of 52 boxes per hour they begin to produce boxes when they first opened for the day and after 3 hours have 400 boxes in stock.

- How many boxes were in stock when they opened?

- Write a linear model for the amount of boxes, b, as a function of the number of hours since they opened, h.

- Use your model to predict the number of boxes in stock at the end of an 8 hour shift.

Answer:

1. [tex]Initial = 244[/tex]

2. [tex]b = 244 + 52h[/tex]

3. 660 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Rate = 52\ per\ hour[/tex]

[tex]Total\ boxes\ in\ 3\ hours = 400[/tex]

Solving (a): Initial Number of boxes

First, we calculate the number of boxes made in 3 hours

[tex]Boxes = Rate * Hours[/tex]

[tex]Boxes = 52 * 3[/tex]

[tex]Boxes = 156[/tex]

If they had 400 boxes at the 3rd hour.

Then, the number of boxes when they opened is:

[tex]Initial = 400 - 156[/tex]

[tex]Initial = 244[/tex]

Solving (b): Linear function

[tex]b = boxes[/tex]

[tex]h = hours[/tex]

Since, we have the rate and the initial number of boxes.

The linear function is:

[tex]Boxes = Initial + Rate * Hours[/tex]

i.e.

[tex]b = 244 + 52 * h[/tex]

[tex]b = 244 + 52h[/tex]

Solving (c): Boxes at the end of the 8th hour

We have:

[tex]b = 244 + 52h[/tex]

In this case:

[tex]h = 8[/tex]

Substitute 8 for h

[tex]b = 244 + 52 * 8[/tex]

[tex]b = 244 + 416[/tex]

[tex]b = 660[/tex]

Hence, there are 660 boxes at the end of the 8th hour

d) A bag contains 20 red marbles, 20 green marbles and 20 blue marbles. You

reach in and grab 15 marbles. What is the probability that they are all the

same colour?

Answers

Answer:

A.) 0.7647 b.) 13/ 16 C.) 0.9412 D.) 8.743 * 10^-10

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

Number of cards per suit = 13

Nunber of suits = 4

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P(1) = probability of picking a card from a certain suit

P(1) = 13 / 52

Hence, probability that 2nd card will be from a suit different from the first :

Total possible outcomes = (52 - 1) = 51

Required outcomes = (13 * 3) = 39

= 39 / 51

= 0.7647

B.)

First toss being head :

Required outcome = H = 1

Total possible outcomes = T or H = 2

P(H) = 1/ 2

For 5 tosses

Total possible outcomes = 2^n = 2^5 = 32

Exactly 2 heads = 10

P(exactly 2 heads) = 10/32 = 5/16

1/2 + 5/16 = (8 + 5) / 16 = 13/16

c)

1 - P(both top and bottom are hearts)

Number of hearts = 13 ; number of cards = 52

P(both are hearts) = 13/52 * 12/51 = 0.05882

1 - 0.05882

= 0.94117

= 0.9412

d)

Either all marbles are red OR all marbles are green OR all marbles are blue

Total number of marbles = (20 + 20 + 20) = 60

Probability that all 15 marbles are of a certain color :

(20/60 * 19/59 * 18/58 * 17/57 * 16/56 * 15/55 * 14/54 * 13/53 * 12/52 * 11/51 * 10/50 * 9/49 * 8/48 * 7/47 * 6/46)

(2.9146E−10) + (2.9146E−10) + (2.9146E−10)

= 8.7438E−10

= 8.743 * 10^-10
