The data table represents the distance between a well-known lighthouse and a cruise ship over time. The cruise ship is travellin

g at uniform speed. Which equation represents the distance (y) from the lighthouse, based on the number of hours (x)?
Number of Hours Distance from Lighthouse
(in oceanic miles)
2 53
4 95.5
6 138
8 180.5
10 223
12 265.5
14 308
16 350.5


y = 42.5x + 10.5
y = 10.5x + 32
y = 21.5x + 10.5
y = 12.25x + 28.5
y = 12.5x + 10.5

Find the velocity first, the "slope".

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(95.5-53)/(4-2)

m=21.25  ?  Your equations are wrong, I'll double check with another set of points...

m=(350.5-308)/(16-14)

m=21.25  LOL, yep none of your lines has the correct slope.

Anyway...

y=21.25x+b, using any point we can solve for the y-intercept, or "b", (2, 53)

53=21.25(2)+b

53=42.5+b

10.5=b so the distance to the lighthouse as a function of time is:

y=21.25x+10.5

So essentially, you should fire your teacher or burn that book you are using :)

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

0.64

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that randomly selected student doesn't own a mobile device with internet capabilities is p=0.18 and the probability that randomly selected student owns a mobile device with internet capabilities is q=1-p=1-0.18=0.82.

If 20 students are selected at random, the probability that at most 5 students (0 students, 1 student, 2 students, 3 students, 4 students or 5 students) don't own a mobile device with internet capabilities is

Pr=C_{20}^0p^0q^{20}+C_{20}^1p^1q^{19}+C_{20}^2p^2q^{18}+C_{20}^3p^3q^{17}+C_{20}^4p^4q^{16}+C_{20}^5p^5q^{15}=q^{20}+20pq^{19}+190p^2q^{18}+1,140p^3q^{17}+4,875p^4q^{16}+15,504p^5q^{15}\approx 0.6405021423\approx 0.64.

Katarina [22]

The calculations for 2, 4, 8 year can be derived as follows,

For simple interest:

                   S.I = \frac{P*T*R}{100}

P= principle

T= Time

R= Rate

For 2 year;

            S.I = \frac{2000*2*5.6}{100}=  $224

           Amount = $2224

For 4 year;

            S.I = \frac{2000*4*5.6}{100}= $448

           Amount = $2448

For 8 year;

             S.I = \frac{2000*8*5.6}{100}= $896

           Amount = $2896
