Answer:

running distance =   78,18 m

swimmingdistance  =  92m

Step-by-step explanation:

Ann has to run a distance 100 - x    and swim  √ (50)² + x²

at speed of 5 m/sec   and 2 m/sec

As distance  = v*t       t  = d/v

Then running she will spend time doing d = ( 100-x)/5    

and   √[(50)² + x² ] / 2   swimming

Therefore total time of biathlon

t(x)  =  ( 100 - x )/5    +  √[(50)² + x² ] / 2

Taking derivatives both sides of the equation we get

t´(x)  =  - 1/5  + [1/2 ( 2x)*2] / 4√[(50)² + x²]

t´(x)  =  - 1/5  + 2x / 4√[(50)² + x²]      t´(x)  =  - 1/5  + x/2√(50)² + x²

t´(x)  = 0           - 1/5  + x/2√(50)² + x²  = 0

  - 2√[(50)²+  x²]   +  5x     =  0

  - 2√(50)²+  x² ) =  -5x

       √(50)²+  x²   = 5/2 *x

squared

        (50)²  +  x²   = 25/4 x²

             2500 - 21/4 x²  =  0

                           x²  =  2500*4/21

 x  =  21,8 m

Therefore she has to run  100 - 21,82  = 78,18 m

And swim    √(50)² + (78,18)²   =  92m

Consider the toss of four coins. There are 16 (i.e., 24) possible outcomesin one toss. (a)Calculate the probabilities that there
lana [24]

Answer:

See answers below

Step-by-step explanation:

If 4 coins are tossed. the total possible outcomes are;

H H H H , H H H T, H H T H, H T H H, T H H H , H H T T, H T T H, T T H H, H T H T, T H T H, T H H T , H T T T, T H T T, T T H T, T T T H  and T T T T

Total outcomes = 16

1) zero head = T T T T = 1 outcome

Probability = Expected/Total outcome

Pr(zero head) = 1/16

2) one head = H T T T, T H T T, T T H T, T T T H   = 4 outcomes

Probability = Expected/Total outcome

Probability = 4/16

Pr(one head) = 1/4

3) two heads = H H T T, H T T H, T T H H, H T H T, T H T H, T H H T   = 6 outcomes

Probability = Expected/Total outcome

Pr(two head) = 6/16

Pr(two head) = 3/8

4)  three heads = H H H T, H H T H, H T H H, T H H H   = 4 outcomes

Probability = Expected/Total outcome

Pr(three heads) = 4/16

Pr(two head) = 1/4

5) four heads appearing on the four coins =  H H H H = 1 outcome

Pr(four heads) = 1/16

A property owner wants to build a cyclone fence around their property. The lot is rectangular, 110 feet by 270 feet. The fence i
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

total cost= $5,814

Step-by-step explanation:

Total linear feet measured: (110 x 2) + (270 x 2) = 760 linear ft

total sq ft= 760 x (7) = 5320 sq ft

total linear ft x labor= 760 x 1.70 = 1292 labor

Total sq ft x Cyclone fencing cost= 5320 x .85 = 4522

the total cost is 1292 + 4522 = $5,814
