Two ships depart from a port at the same time, one heading south and the other east. Seven hours later, they are separated by a

distance of 170 miles. If the ship going south travels 70 miles more than the other, how many miles does each vessel travel?

Answer: 80 miles for the first ship, and 150 miles for the other.

Explanation:

First thing we should do is correspond each number with a letter:

Let x be the distance travel by ship heading east

Let y be the distance travel by ship heading south

y = x + 70 -- (1)

sqrt(x^2 + y^2) = 170 -- (2)

Subtract (1) into (2):

sqrt(x^2 + (x + 70)^2) = 170

x^2 + x^2 + 140x + 4900 = 28900

2x^2 + 140x - 24000 = 0

x ^2 + 70x - 12000 = 0

(x - 80)(x + 150) = 0

x = 80 or -150

Since the distance for the first ship can’t be negative, therefore, x = 80 -- (3)

Subtract (3) into (1), therefore, y = 150

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

The equation of the line is:  y = x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

When we are given two points passing through a line, we can find the equation of the line by using two - point form.

Two - point form:    $ \frac{\textbf{y - y}_\textbf{1}}{\textbf{y}_{\textbf{2}} \textbf{-} \textbf{y}_{\textbf{1}}} = \frac{{\textbf{x - x}_\textbf{1}}}{\textbf{x}_{\textbf{2}} \textbf{-} \textbf{x}_{\textbf{1}}    }$

where $ (x_1, y_1) \hspace{3mm} \& \hspace{3mm} (x_2, y_2) $ are the points passing through the line.

Here, let us take two points (can be any two):

$(x _1, y_1) = (1, 5) $ and

$ (x_2, y_2) = (5, 9) $

Therefore, we have:

$ \frac{y - 5}{9 - 5} = \frac{x - 1}{5 - 1} $

$ \iff \frac{y - 5}{4} = \frac{x - 1}{4} $

$ \iff y - 5 = x - 1 $

$ \implies y = x - 1 + 5 $

$ \implies y = \textbf{x + 4} $ which is the required answer.

PLEASE HELP ME!! LAST ASSIGNMENT
Darya [45]

Answer:

u = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{10}{14} = \frac{35}{u + 46} \\\\ 10(u + 46) = 35×14 \\\ 10u + 460 = 490 \\\ 10u = 490 - 460 \\\ 10u = 30 \\\ u = \frac{30}{10} \\\\ u = 3

I hope I've helped you.

ankoles [38]

Answer:

1.

The null hypothesis is H_0: \mu = 4

The alternate hypothesis is H_1: \mu > 4

2.

The p-value of the test is of 0.0045.

3.

The p-value of the test is low(< 0.01), which means that there is enough evidence that the flow rate is more than 4 gallons per minute (gpm) and thus, the pump should be put into service.

Step-by-step explanation:

A new centrifugal pump is being considered for an application involving the pumping of ammonia. The specification is that the flow rate be more than 4 gallons per minute (gpm).

At the null hypothesis, we test that the mean is 4, so:

H_0: \mu = 4

At the alternate hypothesis, we test that the mean is more than 4, that is:

H_1: \mu > 4

The test statistic is:

t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, s is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

4 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that \mu = 4

In an initial study, eight runs were made. The average flow rate was 6.4 gpm and the standard deviation was 1.9 gpm.

This means that n = 8, X = 6.4, s = 1.9

Test statistic:

t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

t = \frac{6.4 - 4}{\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{8}}}

t = 3.57

P-value of the test:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample mean above 6.4, which is a right-tailed test with t = 3.57 and 8 - 1 = 7 degrees of freedom.

With the help of a calculator, the p-value of the test is of 0.0045.

3. Should the pump be put into service?

The p-value of the test is low(< 0.01), which means that there is enough evidence that the flow rate is more than 4 gallons per minute (gpm) and thus, the pump should be put into service.
