Okay, Tommy runs in a positive y direction at 3mph, and his position can be expressed as:

T=3t

Then Zach starts running two hours later at 4mph and his position can be expressed as:

Z=4(t-2)=4t-8

The distance between Tommy and Zach can be expressed as the hypotenuse length of a right triangle with the distances for Tommy and Zach being the lengths of the sides...

d^2=T^2+Z^2

d^2=(3t)^2+(4t-8)^2

d^2=9t^2+16t^2-64t+64

d^2=25t^2-64t+64, and we want to know when they are 8 miles apart

25t^2-64t+64=8^2

25t^2-64t+64=64

25t^2-64t=0

25t(t-2.56)=0

So 2.56 hours after Tommy started running they will be 8 miles apart.

To be clear though, this is the time Tommy spent running, or the time that elapsed since Tommy started running.  Zach has only been running for 0.56 hours.  So if they are looking for the time Zach ran it is 0.56 not 2.56 hours.

You are going to use an incline plane to lift a heavy object to the top of a shelving unit with a height of 5 ft. The base of th
loris [4]

Answer:

15.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The inclined plane, the base of and the shelving unit form the shape of a right angled triangle.

The hypotenuse is the length of the inclined plane, h.

The base of the triangle is 15 ft.

The height of the triangle is 5 ft.

To find the hypotenuse, h, we have to use Pythagoras rule:

h^2 = a^2 + b^2

where a = height of the triangle

b = base of the triangle

Therefore:

h^2 = 5^2 + 15^2\\\\h^2 = 25 + 225 = 250\\\\h = \sqrt{250}\\ \\h = 15.8 ft

The inclined plane is 15.8 ft long.

The manager of an orchard expects about 70% of his apples to exceed the weight requirement for ""Grade A"" designation. At least
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

356

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that p=0.7, and a 90% confidence interval. Also, we know the margin of error to be 0.04, the sample size is calculated as:

#The sample size is calculated as:

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}\\\\0.04=1.645\sqrt\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{n}\\\\n=\frac{0.7\times 0.3}{(0.04/1.645)^2}\\\\n=355.17\approx 356

Hence, at least 356 apples must be sampled to get a true proportion with the 4% ME.
