Answer:

At 5:00 p.m. the planes will be 1061.323 miles apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, I add a picture of the situation.

We know that speed is distance over time  ⇒

Speed=\frac{distance}{time} (I)

The first step to solve this exercise is to graph the situation. We can draw a right triangle which vertices will be ''Tulsa'', and the planes ''A'' and ''B'' at 5:00 p.m.

In order to know the measures of the sides, we are going to calculate them using the equation (I)

Plane A leaves Tulsa at 2:00 p.m.

Therefore, at 5:00 p.m. it will have flown 3 hours ⇒

300\frac{mi}{h}=\frac{distance}{3h} ⇒

distance=(300\frac{mi}{h}).(3h)

distance=900mi

At 5:00 p.m. the distance from the plane A to Tulsa is 900 mi

Plane B leaves Tulsa at 2:30 p.m.

Therefore, at 5:00 p.m. it will have flown 2.5 hours ⇒

225\frac{mi}{h}=\frac{distance}{2.5h}

distance=(225\frac{mi}{h}).(2.5h)

distance=562.5mi

At 5:00 p.m. the distance from the plane B to Tulsa is 562.5 mi

Finally, we can find the distance between the plane A and the plane B using the Pythagorean theorem :

(900mi)^{2}+(562.5mi)^{2}=(Distance_{A-B})^{2}

810000mi^{2}+316406.25mi^{2}=(Distance_{A-B})^{2}

(Distance_{A-B})^{2}=1126406.25mi^{2}

Distance_{A-B}=\sqrt{1126406.25mi^{2}}

Distance_{A-B}=1061.322877mi ≅ 1061.323mi

At 5:00 p.m. the planes will be 1061.323 miles apart.

Suppose you want to solve the equation 2a + 2b= 2a, where a and b are nonzero real numbers. Describe the solution to this equati
Anna11 [10]
This equation has no solution where 'a' and 'b'
are both non-zero real numbers.

You said                                 2a + 2b = 2a

Subtract 2a from each side:         2b = 0

'b' must be zero.

And it doesn't matter what the value of 'a' is.
As long as b=0, 'a' can be any number.

Five thousand tickets are sold at​ $1 each for a charity raffle. Tickets are to be drawn at random and monetary prizes awarded a
aksik [14]

Answer:

the expected value of this raffle if you buy 1​ ticket = -0.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Five thousand tickets are sold at​ $1 each for a charity raffle

Tickets are to be drawn at random and monetary prizes awarded as​ follows: 1 prize of ​$500​, 3 prizes of ​$300​, 5 prizes of ​$50​, and 20 prizes of​ $5.

Thus; the amount and the corresponding probability can be computed as:

Amount                            Probability

$500 -$1 = $499                1/5000

$300 -$1 = $299                3/5000

$50 - $1 = $49                     5/5000

$5 - $1 = $4                      20/5000

-$1                                   1- 29/5000 = 4971/5000

The expected value of the raffle if 1 ticket is being bought is  as follows:

E(x) = \sum x  * P(x)

E(x) = (499 * \dfrac{1}{5000} + 299 *\dfrac{3}{5000} + 49 *\dfrac{5}{5000} + 4 * \dfrac{20}{5000}  + (-1 * \dfrac{4971}{5000} ))

E(x) = (0.0998 + 0.1794+0.049 + 0.016  + (-0.9942 ))

E(x) = (0.3442 -0.9942 )

\mathbf{E(x) = -0.65}

Thus; the expected value of this raffle if you buy 1​ ticket = -0.65
