Train A and train B leave a central station at the same time. They travel the same speed, but in opposite directions, with train

A heading towards station A, and train B heading towards station B. Train A reaches station A after 212 h. Train B reaches station B after 4 h. Station A and Station B are 585 mi apart. What is the rate of the trains?

Recall your d  = rt, distance = rate * time

so, keeping in mind that both trains are going at the same speed, say speed of "r" mph, after 212 hours A arrived at station A and after 4 hours, B arrived at station B.

now, the distance covered by train A is say "d", we know both stations are 585 miles apart, so, if train A covered "d" miles in those 212 hours, then train B covered the slack from 585 and d, that is "585 - d".

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\
&------&------&------\\
\textit{Train A}&d&r&212\\
\textit{Train B}&585 - d&r&4
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
\boxed{d}=212r\\
585-d=4r\\
----------\\
585-\boxed{212r}=4r
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
585=216r\implies \cfrac{585}{216}=r\implies \cfrac{65}{24}=r\implies \stackrel{mph}{2\frac{17}{24}}=r

Make r the subject of t = 6r^2 + 6
SpyIntel [72]

First step, divide 6 from both sides.

t/6=r^2+1

second step, subtract 1 from both sides

t/6 -1=r^2

Now take the square root of each side.

\sqrt{\frac{t}{6}-1}=r

Done!

Military radar and missile detection systems are designed to warn a country of enemy attacks. A reliability question deals with
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a particular detection system has a 0.83 probability of detecting a missile attack.

Also each system is independent of the other to detect missile attack.

a)  the probability that a single detection system will detect an attack=0.83

b) the probability that at least one of the systems will detect the attack given two systems= 1-Prob no system detects

=1-(1-0.83)(1-0.83)\\\\=1-0.0289\\=0.9711

c)  If three systems are installed,  the probability that at least one of the systems  will detect the attack

= 1- none of the three systems detect attack

= (1-0.17^3)\\=1-0.004913\\=0.995087

d) We find that probability of detecting is more if we increase the system form 1 to 2 and 2 to 3.

Hence for safety and defence purpose multiple detection system is recommended.
