Answer:

distance between the two ships changing at that time is 36 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

ship = 40 mi from port

ship moving = 30 mph

oil tanker = 30 mi from port

oil tanker moving = 20 mph

solution

we will apply here pythagoras theorem so we get here

x² + y² = L²   .....................1

here x is distance of ship from port

and y is distance of oil tanker from port

and L is distance between oil tanker and ship

so put here value and we get

40² + 30² = L²

L = 50 mile

now we differentiate equation1 with respect to time t

2x\  \frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\  \frac{dy}{dt}  = 2L\  \frac{dL}{dt}      ...............2

put here value  and we get

40 × 30 + 30 × 20 = 50 × \frac{dL}{dt}  

\frac{dL}{dt}   = 36 mph

so distance between the two ships changing at that time is 36 mph

Answer:

Both (B) and (C) are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Explaining in simple terms, The Simpson's paradox simply describes a phenomenon which occurs when observable trends in a relationship, which are obvious during singular evaluation of the variables disappears when each of this relationships are combined. This is what played out when hitmire appears to d well on both of natyraknamd artificial turf when separately compared, but isn't the same when the turf data was combined. Also, performance may actually not be related to the turf as turf may Just be. a lurking variable causing a spurious association in performance.

What are the solutions to the equation (2x - 5) (3x - 1) = 0
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

x = 5/2 & x = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Create two equations and solve

1) 2x-5 = 0 & 2) 3x-1 = 0

1) 2x = 5

x = 5/2

2) 3x = 1

x = 1/3

You create two equations as you want the left hand side (LHS) to equal 0 (RHS), thus if one of the brackets becomes 0 it will result in the whole LHS beocming 0 as the brackets are being multiplied (anything multiplied by 0 = 0)
