After you combine like terms you will get 5p - 9m.

-3p + 8p is the same thing as 8p - 3, so you get 5p.
-2m + (-7m) is -9m

-3p and 8p are like terms.
-2m and -7m are also like terms.

Answer:

(a) (x-2)^2 +(y-2)^2 = 16

(b) r = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) When the circle is offset from the origin, the equation for the radius gets messy. In general, it will be the root of a quadratic equation in sine and cosine, not easily simplified. The Cartesian equation is easier to write.

Circle centered at (h, k) with radius r:

(x -h)^2 +(y -k)^2 = r^2

The given circle is ...

(x -2)^2 +(y -2)^2 = 16

(b) When the circle is centered at the origin, the radius is a constant. The desired circle is most easily written in polar coordinates:

r = 2

Assume a warehouse operates 24 hours a day. Truck arrivals follow Poisson distribution with a mean rate of 36 per day and servic

kirill [66]

The expected waiting time in system for typical truck is 2 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data Given are as follows.

Truck arrival rate is given by, α = 36 / day

Truck operation departure rate is given, β= 48 / day

A constructed queuing model is such that so that queue lengths and waiting time can be predicted.

In queuing theory, we have to achieve economic balance between number of customers arriving into system and that of leaving the system whether referring to people or things, in correlating such variables as how customers arrive, how service meets their requirements, average service time and extent of variations, and idle time.

This problem is solved by using concept of Single Channel Arrival with exponential service infinite populate model.

Waiting time in system is given by,

$w_{s} = \frac{1}{\alpha - \beta }$
