Answer: 24% of all employees attend night school.

Step-by-step explanation: If 40% of all employees are men and 30% of the men attend night school, we can multiply 0.40 by 0.30 to get the percentage of men who attend night school: 12% or 0.12. To find the number of women who attend night school, multiply 0.20 by 0.60(assuming percentage of men and women add up to 100%) to get 12%. Add 12% and 12% to get 24% of all employees attend night school.

A boat is pulled into a dock by a rope attached to the bow of the boat and passing through a pulley on the dock that is 1 m high

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

dy/dt = 1.02 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, let the distance of the dock above the bow of the boat be represented by x.

Also, let the distance of the boat from the dock be represented by y.

Let z represent the length of the rope.

Now, we can use pythagoras theorem to find a relationship between x, y and z since they form a right angle triangle where the vertical part is the dock, the base represents the water and the hypotenuse represents the rope.

Thus;

x² + y² = z²

Using implicit differentiation, we have;

2x(dx/dt) + 2y(dy/dt) = 2z(dz/dt)

We are given that the dock is 1 meter above the bow. Thus, x = 1

Also, the height is not changing and so dx/dt = 0

We are told the dock is 5 feet away from the boat. Thus, y = 5

dy/dt is is the speed we are looking for which is the rate at which the boat is approaching the dock.

We are not given the value of z but we can find it by using pythagoras theorem since we know the dock is 1 meter above the bow and the boat is 5 m away.

Thus;

z = √(1² + 5²)

z = √26

We are told the rope is being pulled in at the rate of 1 m/s. Thus; dz/dt = 1

Plugging all relevant values into the differentiation equation above gives;

2(1)(0) + 2(5)(dy/dt) = 2(√26)(1)

10(dy/dt) = 2√26

Divide both sides by 10 to get:

dy/dt = (√26)/5

dy/dt = 1.02 m/s

In the freshman class, 62% of the students take math, 49% take science, and 38% take both science and math. what percentage take

antoniya [11.8K]

we are given

62% of the students take math

so,

$n(M)=62$

49% take science

$n(S)=49$

38% take both science and math

n(M∩S)=38

now, we can use union formula

n(M∪S)=n(M)+n(S) -n(M∩S)

now, we can plug values

and we get

n(M∪S)=62+49 -38

n(M∪S)=73

so,

the percentage takes at least one science or math course is 73%..........Answer

HELP ME PLEASE!!!

ser-zykov [4K]

parallel lines, have the same exact slope, hmmm what is the slope of y = -2/3 x + 1/3 anyway? well, low and behold, the equation is already in slope-intercept form, therefore

$\bf ~~y=\stackrel{slope}{-\cfrac{2}{3}}x+\cfrac{1}{3}~~$ has a slope of -2/3.

so we're really looking for a line whose slope is -2/3 and runs through 9,4.

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{9}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})~\hspace{10em}slope = m\implies -\cfrac{2}{3}\\\\\\\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-4=-\cfrac{2}{3}(x-9)\\\\\\y-4=-\cfrac{2}{3}x+6\implies y=-\cfrac{2}{3}x+10$
