An air traffic controller spots two planes at the same altitude flying toward each other. their flight paths form a right angle

at point p. one plane is 150 miles from point p and is moving at 450 miles per hour. the other plane is 200 miles from point p and is moving at 450 miles per hour. 100 100 200 200 distance (in miles) distance (in miles) y s x p write the distance s between the planes as a function of time t.

Let the units of the problem be miles and hours. The first plane's distance from point p can be described by

... x = 150 -450t

The second plane's distance from point p can be described by

... y = 200 -450t

Since their flight paths are at right angles, the Pythagorean theorem can be used to describe the distance between them (s).

... s² = x² + y²

... s² = (150 -450t)² + (200 -450t)² = 22500 -135000t +202500t² +40000 -180000t +202500t²

... s² = 40500t² -315000t +62500 = 2500(162t² -126t +25)

... s = 50√(162t² -126t +25)

A sample of 100 independent random numbers is taken from this distribution, and its average is used to estimate the mean of the
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

The standard error in estimating the mean = (0.1 × standard deviation of the distribution)

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard error of the mean, for a sample, σₓ is related to the standard deviation, σ, through the relation

σₓ = σ/(√n)

n = sample size = 100

σₓ = σ/(√100)

σₓ = (σ/10) = 0.1σ

Hence, the standard error in estimating the mean = (0.1 × standard deviation of the distribution)

Round 3,989.23655 to the nearest thousandth
inysia [295]
3,989.237
A thousandth = 1/1000 = 0.001
Round 4th decimal place = 5
5 and over is rounding up and under 5 rounds down so it would be 3,989.237

On the graph shown, what is f(-1)? (5 points) The first segment joints the point negative three comma five exclusively and negat
tatiyna
ANSWER

f( - 1) = 2

EXPLANATION

The given function is a piecewise defined function.

f( - 1)
is the y-value that corresponds to
x = - 1.

To determine that y-value, we need to trace from
x = - 1
to where it meets the graph.

We then trace to the y-axis to determine the corresponding y-value as shown in the diagram.

From the graph, we can see that this x-value corresponds to a y-value of
2

This implies that, when
x = - 1,y = 2

Therefore
f( - 1) = 2
See graph.

The square of a number is 15 more than 2 times the number
UkoKoshka [18]

x^2 = 2x + 15

x^2 -2x - 15 = 0

Factor:

(x-5)(x+3) = 0

x = 5 or x = -3
