A rotating beacon is located 1 kilometer off a straight shoreline. If the beacon rotates at a rate of 3 revolutions per minute,

how fast (in kilometers per hour) does the beam of light appear to be moving to a viewer who is 1/2 kilometer down the shoreline?

Find the radius of the circle by finding the distance between the viewer and the beacon. 
then find the circumference by using 2πr2

this will be the distance the light covers over 1 revolution.
then using dimensional analysis:
3 rev/min (7.037 km/rev) (60 min/1 hr) = 1266.7 km/hr

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

19.9875 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is given as:

Shadow of the student/Height of the student = Shadow of the telephone pole/Height of the telephone pole.

1 inch = 0.0833 feet

Shadow of the student = 5ft

Height of the student = 5 feet 4 inches

4 inches to feet

= 4 × 0.0833 feet

= 0.33 feet

Hence: Height of the student = 5 + 0.33 = 5.33 feet

Shadow of the telephone pole = 18 feet 9 inches long

9 inches to feet

= 9 × 0.0833 feet

= 0.75 feet

Hence: Shadow of the telephone pole = 18 + 0.75 = 18.75 feet

Height of the telephone pole= x

Therefore:

5/5.33 = 18.75/x

Cross Multiply

5x = 5.33 × 18.75

x = 5.33 × 18.75/5

x = 19.9875 feet

The height of the telephone pole = 19.9875 feet

Answer:

z (max)  =  6.15

x₁  =  1       x₂ =  3    x₃  =  6

Amount of beef leftover     2 lb

Amount of onions leftover   0

Amount of  Special Sauce leftover 61

Amount of Hot Sauce leftover   9

Step-by-step explanation:

Ingredients              Beef      Onions    Special S   Hot S      Profit  

Wimpy  (x₁)                   1              2                5              0             0.6

Dial 911 (x₂)                   1              2                2              5             0.55

Fire Bowl (x₃)                1.5           2                3              6             0.65

Available                       15            20             90             60        

Objective Function z:

z  =  0.6*x₁  +  0.55*x₂  +  0.65*x₃      to maximize

Subject to:

1) Quantity of beef : 15

x₁  +  x₂  + 1.5*x₃  ≤  15

2) Quantity of onions:  20

2*x₁  +  2*x₂  +  2*x₃  ≤  20

3) Quantity of Special sauce: 90

5*x₁  + 2*x₂  + 3*x₃  ≤  90

4) Quantity of hot sauce:  60

0*x₁   + 5*x₂  + 6*x₃  ≤  60

5) Condition: The number of servings for Fire Bowl must be at least 10% of the total number of servings for all three luncheon chili specials.

x₃  ≥  0.1 ( x₁  +  x₂   +  x₃ )     or    x₃    ≥   0.1*x₁  +  0.1 *x₂  + 0.1*x₃

x₃   -   0.1*x₁  -  0.1 *x₂  - 0.1*x₃   ≥  0

-   0.1*x₁  -  0.1 *x₂   +    0.9 *x₃   ≥  0

6)Condition: The number of servings for Fire Bowl, however, cannot exceed the number of Dial 911 by more than 3.

x₃  -  x₂  ≤  3

7)the available number of servings for Dial 911 must be at least 2.

x₂  ≥  2

General constraints:

x₁  ≥   0           x₃   ≥ 0    all integers

With on-line solver solution  is:

z (max)  =  6.15

x₁  =  1       x₂ =  3    x₃  =  6

By sbstitution on the constraints

1)   x₁  +  x₂  + 1.5*x₃  ≤  15               1 + 3 + 9  = 13

Amount of beef leftover     2 lb

2)  2*x₁  +  2*x₂  +  2*x₃  ≤  20          2 + 6  + 12 = 20

Amount of onions leftover   0

3) 5*x₁  + 2*x₂  + 3*x₃  ≤  90             5  + 6  + 18 = 29

Amount of  Special Sauce leftover 61

4)0*x₁   + 5*x₂  + 6*x₃  ≤  60             15  +  36  = 51

Amount of Hot Sauce leftover   9

adults say that they have cheated on a test or exam before. You randomly select six adults. Find the probability that the number
VLD [36.1K]

Answer: a. 1/6. b. 2/3. c. 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of adults randomly selected= 6

a. Finding the probability of adults that have cheated on an examination before is exactly 4.

The numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Probability of chosen exactly 4 will be 1/6 since 4 can only occur once.

b. More than 2means 3,4, 5 and 6.

Probability that the number of adults that have cheated on a test or exam is more than 2 will be:

4/6 = 2/3

c. At most 5 means 1,2,3,4 or 5

This will give 5/6
