During a tunnel construction project, engineers used explosives to excavate partway into a mountain. Because of time constraints

and environmental concerns, they later used a tunnel boring machine (TBM) to excavate the rest of the tunnel. The table shows the length of the completed tunnel, y, after different numbers of days, x, since the TBM started working. Number of Days Length of Tunnel (feet) 0 225 5 350 20 725 30 975 55 1,600 The length of the completed tunnel can be calculated using the equation . If the project will be completed 86 days after the TBM was introduced, the length of the completed tunnel will be feet.

The given data can be tabulated as:

number of days,x                            length of tunnel (ft), y

0                                                                              225

5                                                                              350

20                                                                           725

30                                                                           975

55                                                                           1,600

 

To check if the growth is linear, the slope at points (0, 225) and (5, 350), and (0, 225) and (20, 725) should be equal. The formula for slope is:

m = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1)

 

Finding for slope (0, 225) and (5, 350):

m = (350 – 225) / (5 – 0) = 25

 

Finding for slope (0, 225) and (20, 725):

m = (725 – 225) / (20 – 0) = 25

 

Therefore the equation is linear in the form of:

y = mx + b

where b is the value of y at x = 0, so b = 225

 

The complete equation is:

y = 25x + 225

 

At x = 86 days

y = 25(86) + 225

y = 2,375 ft

 

Therefore the length of the completed tunnel is 2,375 feet.

Based on the tree diagram below what is the probability that the test for lice returns a false positive
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

0.0492

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the tree diagram we need to tell the the probability that the test for lice returns a false positive. False positive means that the student has no lice but still the test shows a positive result.

So for this we have to first look for the branch, from the starting node, which shows that student has no lice. From the starting point, the upper branch represents the students that have lice and lower branch represents the students who have no lice. So, we will consider the lower branch with probability mentioned as 0.82

Now, the lower branch is divided into two branches further. We have to look for the branch which shows positive test result. This would be the upper branch with probability mentioned as 0.06.

The overall probability of this event is mentioned at the end of the branch which is 0.0492

This is the probability of the combined event: Student has no lice but tests shows positive result which is the False positive.

Thus, the probability that the test for lice returns a false positive is 0.0492

7. What is the equation of a circle with a
Anni [7]

Answer:

equation of circle is (x+5)^2+(y-3)^2=16

Step-by-step explanation:

equation of circle (x-x_1)^2+(y-y_1)^2=r^2where r=redius of circle,[tex](x_1,y_1) is centre of circle

centre of circle=(-5,3)

put the value of centre and redius in the equation

equation of circle {(x+5)^2+(y-3)^2}=4^2
