A time/motion word problem

The two planes are flying on the two legs of a right triangle.
The straight distance between them is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Since the speeds are in mph, let's work the time in hours.
Call the time 'H' that we're looking for.
It's the number of hours after they both take off that they're 650 miles apart.

After 'H' hours, the first plane has gone 500H miles north.
After 'H' hours, the second plane has gone 1200H miles east.
After 'H' hours, they are 650 miles apart.

Do you remember this for a right triangle ? ==>    A² + B² = C²

(500H)² + (1200H)² = (650)²

250,000H² + 1,440,000H² = 422,500

1,690,000 H² = 422,500

H² = (422,500) / (1,690,000) = 0.25

H = √0.25 = 1/2 hour = 30 minutes

x^2=500^2+1200^2\\\\x^2=250000+1440000\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ \ x^2=1690000\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ \ x=1300\ [mph]\\\\the\ distance=650\ miles\\\\the\ speed= \frac{the\ distance}{the\ time} \ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ 1300\ [mph]= \frac{650\ [miles]}{the\ time}\\\\the\ time= \frac{650}{1300} \ [hr]=0.5\ [hr]=30\ [min]\\\\Ans.\ after\ 30\ minutes.

Find the measure of the the sides of DEF then classify it by it sides. <br> D(8,-6) E(-1,-3) F(-2,5)
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Part a) The measure of the sides of triangle DEF are

d_D_E=\sqrt{90}\ units

d_E_F=\sqrt{65}\ units

d_D_F=\sqrt{221}\ units

Part b) Is a scalene triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}

we have the coordinates

D(8,-6) E(-1,-3) F(-2,5)

step 1

Find the length side DE

D(8,-6) E(-1,-3)

substitute in the formula

d=\sqrt{(-3+6)^{2}+(-1-8)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(3)^{2}+(9)^{2}}

d_D_E=\sqrt{90}\ units

step 2

Find the length side EF

E(-1,-3) F(-2,5)

substitute in the formula

d=\sqrt{(5+3)^{2}+(-2+1)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(8)^{2}+(-1)^{2}}

d_E_F=\sqrt{65}\ units

step 3

Find the length side DF

D(8,-6) F(-2,5)

substitute in the formula

d=\sqrt{(5+6)^{2}+(-2-8)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(11)^{2}+(-10)^{2}}

d_D_F=\sqrt{221}\ units

step 4

Classify the triangle by the measure of its sides

we have

d_D_E=\sqrt{90}\ units

d_E_F=\sqrt{65}\ units

d_D_F=\sqrt{221}\ units

so

Is a scalene triangle, because is a triangle in which all three sides have different lengths.

4. A statistician working for the National Basketball Association supplies the television announcers with interesting statistics
Sonbull [250]

Answer: 0.038

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total games : n= 375

Number of games won by  the team that was winning the game at the end of the third quarter. = 300

The proportion (p) of the team that was winning the game at the end of the third quarter: p=\dfrac{300}{375}=0.8

Critical z-value for 90% confidence: z* = 1.645

Margin of error =z^*\sqrt{\dfrac{(1-p)p}{n}}

The margin of error in a 90% confidence interval estimate of p =1.645\sqrt{\dfrac{0.2\times0.8}{300}}\\= 1.645\times\sqrt{0.00053333}\\\\=1.645\times0.0231\\\\=0.0379995\approx$$0.038

Hence, the required margin of error = 0.038

Can someone help me? It's urgent and thank you!
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

option A

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{x+ 3}{12x} \ \cdot \ \frac{4x}{x^2 +x - 6}\\\\= \frac{x+ 3}{12x} \ \cdot\ \frac{4x}{x^2 +3x - 2x - 6}\\\\= \frac{x+ 3}{12x} \cdot \frac{4x}{x(x + 3) -2(x+3)}\\\\= \frac{x+ 3}{12x} \cdot \frac{4x}{(x + 3)(x -2)}\\\\= \frac{1}{12x} \ \cdot \ \frac{4x}{(x - 2)} \ \ \ \ \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  \\\\= \frac{1}{3} \ \cdot \ \frac{1}{(x - 2)}\\\\= \frac{1}{3(x - 2) }
