A plane flying horizontally at an altitude of 3 mi and a speed of 440 mi/h passes directly over a radar station. find the rate a

t which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 4 mi away from the station. (round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

The distance is increasing at a rate that is the speed of the plane multiplied by the cosine of the angle between its flight path and the direct line to the radar station. That cosine is 4/√(3²+4²) = 4/5, so the distance is increasing at
  440 mi/h × 4/5 = 352 mi/h

Given:

The function is

r(x)=0.05(x^2+1)(x-6)

where, function r gives the instantaneous growth rate of a fruit fly population x days after the start of an experiment.

To find:

Number of complex and real zeros.

Time intervals for which the population increased and population deceased.

Solution:

We have,

r(x)=0.05(x^2+1)(x-6)

r(x)=0.05(x^3+x-6x^2-6)

Here, degree of function x is 3. It means, the given function has 3 zeros.

From the given graph it is clear that, the graph of function r(x) intersect x-axis at once.

So, the given function r(x) has only one real root and other two real roots are complex.

Therefore, function r has 2 complex zeros and one real zero.

Before x=6, the graph of r(x) is below the x-axis and after that the graph of r(x) is above the x-axis.

Negative values of r(x) represents the decrease in population and positive value of r(x) represents the increase in population.

Therefore, based on instantaneous growth rate, the population decreased between 0 and 6 hours and the population increased after 6 hours.

The table shows the number of calories in four meals and the cost of each meal.
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

A weak negative correlation

Step-by-step explanation:

correlation, r = \frac{∑(y-\alpha)(x-\beta  }{\sqrt{∑(y-\alpha)^2∑(x-\beta )^2 } }

where,

\alpha = \frac{∑y}{n} \\\beta =\frac{∑x}{n} \\∑ = summation

\alpha = \frac{3230}{4} = 807.5\\\\\\\beta =\frac{46}{4} = 11.5

therefore,\\\\r= -0.12924

This represents a weak negative correlation

If it takes 5 men 20hours to brick a house, how long will it take 2 men to do the job if they work at the same rate?
Elden [556K]

To find the contribution of each man (this is a sexist problem as women could work as well, but that’s besides the point) take 5/2 and then multiply that value by 20 and you’ll find it takes 50 hours for two men to do it.

Answer: 50 hours
