Step-by-step explanation:

ans.

Total ratio of votes=6+5

=11

1 ratio of votes=6644÷11

=604

Ratio of no votes=5

Number of no votes=Ratio of no votes×1 ratio of no votes

=604×5

Anika [276]

Answer:

The rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 2 mi away from the station is 372 mi/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

A plane flying horizontally at an altitude of "1" mi and a speed of "430" mi/h passes directly over a radar station.

$z=1$

$\frac{dx}{dt}=430$

We need to find the rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 2 mi away from the station.

$y=2$

According to Pythagoras

$hypotenuse^2=base^2+perpendicular^2$

$y^2=x^2+1^2$

$y^2=x^2+1$ .... (1)

Put z=1 and y=2, to find the value of x.

$2^2=x^2+1^2$

$4=x^2+1$

$4-1=x^2$

$3=x^2$

Taking square root both sides.

$\sqrt{3}=x$

Differentiate equation (1) with respect to t.

$2y\frac{dy}{dt}=2x\frac{dx}{dt}+0$

Divide both sides by 2.

$y\frac{dy}{dt}=x\frac{dx}{dt}$

Put $x=\sqrt{3}$ , y=2, $\frac{dx}{dt}=430$ in the above equation.

$2\frac{dy}{dt}=\sqrt{3}(430)$

Divide both sides by 2.

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{\sqrt{3}(430)}{2}$

$\frac{dy}{dt}=372.390923627$

$\frac{dy}{dt}\approx 372$

Therefore the rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 2 mi away from the station is 372 mi/h.

Jake drew an isosceles right triangle. What are the measures of the two acute angles? How do you know?

scoray [572]

SO you know that triangles add up to 180. A right angle equals 90 so 180-90=90. And an isosceles triangle means that 2 angles are congruent. SO 90/2 = 45. The measure of the 2 acute angles are 45

A large farm has 75 acres of wheat and 62.5 acres of corn. The farm crew can harvest the the wheat from 12 acres and the corn fr

Leviafan [203]

In a Farm, there are:
=> 75 acres of wheat
=> 62.5 acres of corn
In each day, the farm crew can harvest:
=> 12 acres of wheat
=> 10 acres of corn
Find how many days can the farm crew harvest all of the plants,
=> 75 / 12
=> 6.25, thus the farm crew will take 6.25 days to be able to harvest acres of wheat
=> 62.5 / 10
=> 6.25, thus the farm crew will take 6.25 days also to harvest acres of corn.

The difference of two numbers is 685. The smaller of the numbers is 262. What is the other number?

jeyben [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Let </em><em>the </em><em>two </em><em>numbers </em><em>be </em><em>x </em><em>and </em><em>y </em>

<em>x </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>y </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>6</em><em>8</em><em>5</em>

<em>Let </em><em>the </em><em>smaller </em><em>number </em><em>be </em><em>y </em>

<em>x </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>6</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>6</em><em>8</em><em>5</em>

<em>x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>6</em><em>8</em><em>5</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>6</em><em>2</em>

<em>Therefore </em><em>x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>9</em><em>4</em><em>7</em>
