Let 
<span> D = distance between Detroit and Columbus 
</span><span> From Detroit to Columbus, 
</span><span> D = 60T1 
</span><span> where 
</span><span> T1 = time it took Mrs Smith to drive from Detroit to Columbia 
</span><span> From Columbia to Detroit
</span><span> D = 55T2 
</span><span> where 
</span><span> T2 = time it took Mrs Smith to drive from Columbia to Detroit
</span><span> Equating the 2 formulas for "D", 
</span><span> 60T1 = 55T2 
</span><span> and since T2 = T1 + 0.33
</span><span> 60T1 = 55(T1 + 0.33)
</span><span> Solve for T1 and substitute this calculated value in the equation D = 60T1 to determine the distance between Detroit and Columbus.
 5T1=18.15
 T1= 18.15/5=3.63
 then 
 </span>D = 60T1=60*(3.63)=217.8 m

An airport is studying the noise levels of jets during takeoff as they pass over a neighborhood. They find that at the present t
avanturin [10]

Answer:  2.28%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: An airport find that at the present time, the mean noise level is 103 decibels and the standard deviation is 5.4 decibels.

The distribution of noise levels(x) for all jets during takeoff over the neighborhood has a normal distribution.

The probability that jets have a noise level less than 92.2 decibels when taking off over this neighborhood will be :-

P(X

Hence, the percent of these jets have a noise level less than 92.2 decibels when taking off over this neighborhood = 2.28%

Answer:

  the one real zero is in the interval (-1, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Descartes' rule of signs tells you there are 0 or 2 positive real zeros. Changing the signs of the odd-degree terms and applying that rule again tells you there is one negative real zero. At the same time, those coefficients (-3, -5, -5, +7) have a negative sum, so you know ...

  f(-1) = -6

  f(0) = +7

so there is a zero in the interval (-1, 0).

__

You can try a few values between x=0 and x=10 to see what the function does in that part of the graph. You find ...

  f(1) = 10

  f(2) = 21

  f(3) = 58

So, it is safe to conclude that there are no real zeros for x > 0.

The only real zero of f(x) is in the interval (-1, 0).

_____

I like to use a graphing calculator for problems like this.

Two times the greater of two consecutive integers is 9 less than three times the lesser integer. What are the integers?
blondinia [14]
Let the two integers be x and x + 1, then
2(x + 1) + 9 = 3x
2x + 2 + 9 = 3x
3x - 2x = 11
x = 11

Therefore, the integers are 11 and 12.
