The rate of the passenger train is 81.67 MPH and the rate of the freight train is 66.67 MPH.

<h3>What is a linear equation?</h3>

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

We have:

The distance traveled by passenger train = 245 miles

The distance traveled by freight train = 245 miles

The time takes for both trains is the same.

Let's suppose the rate of the passenger train is x and the rate of the freight train is y;

As we know,

Distance = speed×time

245/x = 200/y

200x = 245y

200x - 245y = 0 ..(1)

x = 15 + y ..(2)

Equations (1) and (2) represent the situation.

After solving equations (1) and (2):

$\rm x=\dfrac{245}{3}= 81.67\\\\\\\:y=\dfrac{200}{3}=66.67$

Thus, the rate of the passenger train is 81.67 MPH and the rate of the freight train is 66.67 MPH.

It is predicted that in t years, the population of a country will be P (t) = 50e ^ (0.02t) million inhabitants. A) What will be

lakkis [162]

$\begin{gathered} \text{Given:} \\ P(t)=50e^{0.02t} \end{gathered}$

A) What will be the rate of change of the population in 10 years.

$\begin{gathered} \text{Get the derivative of the }P(t)\text{ with respect to }t \\ \frac{dP}{dt}(50e^{0.02t})=50(0.02)e^{0.02t} \\ \frac{dP}{dt}(50e^{0.02t})=e^{0.02t} \end{gathered}$

Substitute t = 10, to the derivative of P(t)

$\begin{gathered} P^{\prime}(t)=e^{0.02t} \\ P^{\prime}(10)=e^{0.02(10)} \\ P^{\prime}(10)=e^{0.2} \\ P^{\prime}(10)=e^{0.2} \\ P^{\prime}(10)=1.02020134 \\ \\ \text{Round off to two decimal place} \\ P^{\prime}(10)=1.02 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the rate of change of the population in 10 years is 1.02 million.

B) What will be the relative rate of the population in t years? Is this rate constant?

$\begin{gathered} \text{The relative rate of the population in t years is the first derivative of }P(t) \\ P^{\prime}(t)=e^{0.02t} \end{gathered}$

The rate is not constant, as it depends on how much time t has passed.

Pythagorean theorem 19^2 + 21^2=x^2

alexira [117]

Answer:

x = 28.32 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Longer leg = 21

Shorter leg = 19

Hypotenuse = x

To Find:

Hypotenuse = x = ?

Solution:

Pythagoras Theorem States that

$(\textrm{Hypotenuse})^{2} = (\textrm{Shorter leg})^{2}+(\textrm{Longer leg})^{2}$

Substituting of the given value above equation we get

$x^{2} =21^{2}+ 19^{2}\\ \\x^{2}=441 + 361\\\\x^{2}=802\\ \therefore x=\pm\sqrt{802} \\\textrm{as x cannot be negative}\\\therefore x=\sqrt{802}\\\\\therefore x=28.319\ units\\\therefore x=28.32\ units$

For the 1,000-meter running event, Abby's mean time is 4.5 minutes with a standard deviation of 0.75 minutes. For the 800-meter

Lilit [14]

Answer:

He performed better in the 800 m race

Step-by-step explanation:

Obtain the standardized score for each event :

Zscore = (score - mean) / standard deviation

1000 meter :

Mean = 4.5 ; Standard deviation = 0.75 ; x = 4.1

Zscore = (4.1 - 4.5) / 0.75

Zscore = - 0.4 / 0.75 = - 0.5333

800 meter :

Mean = 3.2 ; Standard deviation = 0.4 ; x = 3

Zscore = (3 - 3.2) / 0.4

Zscore = - 0.2 / 0.4 = - 0.5

-0.5 > - 0.533

Hence, he performed better in the 800 m race
