Answer:

0.35

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to use for uniform distribution is equal to

P( X < x) = \frac{x-a}{b-a}

where,

b is the upper limit of the distribution which is 5 minutes in this case.

a is the lower limit of the distribution which is 0 minutes in this case.

x is the concerned value which is 1.75 minutes in this case.

substitute the given values

P( X< 1.75) = \frac{1.75-0}{5-0}=0.35

That means

The probability that a randomly selected passenger has a waiting time less than 1.75 minutes is 0.35

find a model for simple harmonic motion if the position at t = 0 is 6, the amplitude is 6 centimeters, and the period is 4 secon
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

y = 6cos(π/2)t

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question that,

in a simple harmonic motion in which

at t=0 the amplitude is 6 cm, so the simple harmonic motion will be in cosine form. As in case of sine function, the value of function at t=0 is 0.  

And,

the period is given as 4 sec

We know that model equation of simple harmonic motion is

<h3>y = a. cosb(t + c) + d</h3>

here,

a is amplitude

c is Horizontal shift or phase shift

d is Vertical shift

<h3>Step1</h3><h3>Find b</h3>

Period = 2 π / b

4 = 2π / b

b = 2π/4

b = 1π/2

<h3>Step2</h3><h3>Find shifts</h3>

Horizontal and vertical shifts are 0.

So, c = 0 and d = 0

<h3>Step3</h3><h3>Plug those values in the above in the equation</h3>

y = 6cos π/2 (t + 0) + 0

y = 6cos(π/2)t

Y = -9x - 2; (4, -37)
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

B. No the ordered pair does not satisfy the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -9x - 2

Substitute the point in and see if it is true

-37 = -9(4) -2

-37 = -36 -2

-37 = -38

This is not true so the point is not a solution

2.<br> If AB = 9x - 2 and BC = 6x + 13,<br> then BC = ?<br> A<br> B<br> С
vovangra [49]

Answer:

  • AB = 9x - 2
  • BC = 6x + 13

Since both have equal length

9x - 2 = 6x + 13

9x - 6x = 13 + 2

3x = 15

x = 15/3

x = 5

Length of BC = 6(5) + 13 = 43 cm

A rectangle sticker had a perimeter of 32 centimeters and a area of 48 square centimeters. what are the dimensions of the sticke
vovangra [49]

Answer:

4 cm ×12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the dimensions of the sticker, start by forming 2 equations for its area and perimeter.

Perimeter of rectangle= 2(length +breadth)

Let the length and breadth of the rectangle be L and B cm respectively.

2(L +B)= 32

Divide both sides by 2:

L +B= 16 -----(1)

Area of rectangle= length ×breadth

LB= 48 -----(2)

From (1): L= 16 -B -----(3)

Substitute (3) into (2):

(16 -B)(B)= 48

Expand:

16B -B²= 48

B² -16B +48= 0

(B -4)(B -12)= 0

B -4= 0 or B -12= 0

B= 4 or B= 12

Substitute into (3):

L= 16 -4 or L= 16 -12

L= 12 or L= 4

Thus, the dimensions of the sticker is 4 cm ×12 cm.

Rate for 40 meters in 10 seconds?
Viefleur [7K]
The rate for 40 meters in 10 seconds is

40m/10sec (40 meters per 10 seconds)

You can turn it into a different unit of measurement by multiplication or division.

For example, if you want the rate in 1 second, you divide both units by 10 (because there are 10 seconds, and 10 ÷ 10 = 1).

40m/10sec then becomes

4m/1sec (4 meters per 1 second)

40 ÷ 10 = 4, and 10 ÷ 10 = 1

Or if you'd like it in minutes, you multiply both units by 6 (because there are 60 seconds in 1 minute, and 6 x 10 = 60).

40m/10sec becomes

240m/60sec = 240m/1min

40 x 6 = 240, 10 x 6 = 60 = 1 minute
