A traveler is walking on a moving walkway in an airport The Traveler must walk back on the walkway to get a bag he forgot the Tr

avelers ground speed is 2ft/s against the walkway and 6ft/s with the walkway what is the Travellers speed off the walkway what is the speed of the moving walkway

Let the speed off the walk way be x and speed of the walkway be y
x+y=6....i
x-y=2....ii
adding the above equation we get:
2x=8
thus
x=4 ft/s
and
y=6-4=2 ft/s
thus the speed off the walk way is 4 ft/s
the speed of the moving walkway is 2 ft/s

Evaluate the expression when a=-2 and x=6. \<br><br> 4x-a

Digiron [165]

Answer:

26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4x - a ← substitute a = - 2, x = 6 into the expression

= 4(6) - (- 2) [ note - (- ) is equivalent to + ]

= 24 + 2

= 26

If a couple were planning to have three children, the sample space summarizing the gender outcomes would be: bbb, bbg, bgb,

MaRussiya [10]

There are two choices for each child: overweight (o) or underweight (u). So if the first child is o the next can be o or u. If the first is u the second can be o or u. This gives four possibilities. Here the first child is the letter noted first and the second is the one listed second:
OO
OU
UO
UU

There are 4 outcomes and if each is equally likely then the probability of each is 1/4. Thus the probability of UU is 1/4

The probability of one underweight and one over weight is 1/2 because in two of the outcomes listed above there is one O and one U (namely OU and UO). Since there are 4 outcomes the probability is 2/4 = 1/2

Change each of the following points from rectangular coordinates to spherical coordinates and to cylindrical coordinates.

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation: Spherical coordinate describes a location of a point in space: one distance (ρ) and two angles (Ф,θ).To transform cartesian coordinates into spherical coordinates:

$\rho = \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}}$

$\phi = cos^{-1}\frac{z}{\rho}$

For angle θ:

If x > 0 and y > 0: $\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{y}{x}$ ;

If x < 0: $\theta = \pi + tan^{-1}\frac{y}{x}$ ;
If x > 0 and y < 0: $\theta = 2\pi + tan^{-1}\frac{y}{x}$ ;

Calculating:

a) (4,2,-4)

$\rho = \sqrt{4^{2}+2^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$ = 6

$\phi = cos^{-1}(\frac{-4}{6})$

$\phi = cos^{-1}(\frac{-2}{3})$

For θ, choose 1st option:

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{2}{4})$

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})$

b) (0,8,15)

$\rho = \sqrt{0^{2}+8^{2}+(15)^{2}}$ = 17

$\phi = cos^{-1}(\frac{15}{17})$

$\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{y}{x}$

The angle θ gives a tangent that doesn't exist. Analysing table of sine, cosine and tangent: θ = $\frac{\pi}{2}$

c) (√2,1,1)

$\rho = \sqrt{(\sqrt{2} )^{2}+1^{2}+1^{2}}$ = 2

$\phi = cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})$

$\phi$ = $\frac{\pi}{3}$

$\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$

d) (−2√3,−2,3)

$\rho = \sqrt{(-2\sqrt{3} )^{2}+(-2)^{2}+3^{2}}$ = 5

$\phi = cos^{-1}(\frac{3}{5})$

Since x < 0, use 2nd option:

$\theta = \pi + tan^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }$

$\theta = \pi + \frac{\pi}{6}$

$\theta = \frac{7\pi}{6}$

Cilindrical coordinate describes a 3 dimension space: 2 distances (r and z) and 1 angle (θ). To express cartesian coordinates into cilindrical:

$r=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}$

Angle θ is the same as spherical coordinate;

z = z

Calculating:

a) (4,2,-4)

$r=\sqrt{4^{2}+2^{2}}$ = $\sqrt{20}$

$\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{1}{2}$

z = -4

b) (0, 8, 15)

$r=\sqrt{0^{2}+8^{2}}$ = 8

$\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}$

z = 15

c) (√2,1,1)

$r=\sqrt{(\sqrt{2} )^{2}+1^{2}}$ = $\sqrt{3}$

$\theta = \frac{\pi}{3}$

z = 1

d) (−2√3,−2,3)

$r=\sqrt{(-2\sqrt{3} )^{2}+(-2)^{2}}$ = 4

$\theta = \frac{7\pi}{6}$

z = 3

Alice's grandfather is showing Alice his apple

Amanda [17]

There are 156 rows of trees altogether.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given that for every 11 rows of Red delicious , they plant 3 rows of Royal Gala.

Thus for 1 row of Royal Gala there would be 11/3 rows of Red delicious.

Number of rows of Royal Gala=18

$corresponding\ number\ of\ Red\ delicious\ = 11/3 \times 18=11\times 6=66$

For 11 rows of red delicious,they plant 7 rows of yellow delicious.

Thus for 1 row of Red delicious,there would be 7/11 rows of yellow delicious.

For 66 rows of red delicious there would be

$7/11\times66=7\times 6=42 rows\ of\ yellow\ delicious$

For 11 rows of red delicious,they plant 5 rows of Braeburn

for 1 row of red delicious,they would plant 5/11 rows of Braeburn.

For 11 rows of red delicious,they would plant

$5/11\times 66=5\times 6=30\ rows\ of\ braeburn$

Total rows of trees=66+42+30+18=156

Enter the number 46.1979 rounded to the nearest hundredth (two decimal places)

muminat

Answer:

It should be 46.20

Step-by-step explanation:

You're rounding to the nearest hundredth. So you have 46.1979 to start out with. Then you count 2 places so you end at the 1st 9. Well, behind the 9 is a 7 so you round up and get 20
