A dog and a cat are 200 meters apart when they see each other. The dog can run at a speed of 30 meter per second, while the cat

can run at a speed of 24 meters per second. How soon will they meet if they simutaneously start running towards each other?

Answer:

They'll meet after 200 meters , if they simultaneously start running towards each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x =distance travelled by dog and 200-x be the distance travelled by cat. Inorder to meet, the sum of their travelled distances shall be equal to 200 meters as they are far apart by 200 meters.

Dog: Distance =Speed x time: x=30t

Cat: Distance = 200-x

=24t

The sum of their distance travelled shall be 200 meters: 30t+ 24t= 200;54t=200;t=200/54=3.7secs

So they will meet after 3.7 seconds

To check:

Distance travelled by dog :x=30(3.7)

=111.11 meters

Distance travelled by cat: 24t=24(3.7)

=88.89 meters

Therefore since they are travelling towards each other and their distance apart is 200 meters, after 3.7 seconds they will meet because dog travelled 111.11 meters and cat travelled 88.89 meters and they covered already 200 meters as the sum of 111.11+ 88.89

=200 meters

The graph shows the distance, y, that a car traveled in x hours:
vesna_86 [32]
Here, You need to calculate the slope of the graph by taking any two random points, as follows:
(x₁,y₁) = (0,0) & (x₂,y₂) = (1,55)

Now, we know, 
y₂-y₁ = m(x₂-x₁)
55-0 = m(1-0)
m = 55/1
m = 55

Here m represents the slope of graph which is nothing but rate of change of distance.

In short, option A will be your answer.

Hope this helps!

For a data set of weights? (pounds) and highway fuel consumption amounts? (mpg) of eight types of? automobile, the linear correl
liberstina [14]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Low

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the P-value of the linear correlation = 0.001, we have that the P-value is a demonstration that a linear correlation that has a value in the range of the given correlation is ,most arguably very low

From the z-table, a P-value of 0.001 corresponds to a z-value of -3.09, we have that in a normal distribution since 95% of the scores have a z-score of between -2 and 2, the z-score of -3.09 is very distant from the mean and having a low value, whereby the P-value shows that the likelihood of finding another linear correlation that is as far from the mean as the given correlation  is very low.

If the cost is a function depending in the number of sections, how much will 200 sections cost?
julsineya [31]
I would say the answer is D. 7837. Since the common ratio between the x’s and y’s were are 39.5 so multiplying that times 200 gives something around 7900 so, (rounding down) the answer would be D. I really hope that helped! Also please correct me if I am wrong... thanks!
