Let us say that y = vertical height and z = hypotenuse <span>
dz/dt = 600 
dy/dt = 0 since y (altitude) is constant 
sin(θ) = 2/3 
Calculating for the angle: θ = arcsin(2/3) = 0.729728 radians 
sin(θ) = y/z 
z sin(θ) = y 
<span>We then differentiate the two sides with respect to time t:
dz/dt sin(θ)+ z cos(θ) dθ/dt = dy/dt 
(600) (2/3) + (3) cos (0.729728) dθ/dt = 0 
400 + [3 / cos (0.729728) ] dθ/dt = 0 
400+ 4.0249 dθ/dt = 0 
dθ/dt = -98.38 radians/hour 
= -99.38/60 radians / min 
= -1.66 radians / min = 2PI - 1.66 radians / min 
<span>= 4.62 radians / min    (ANSWER)</span></span></span>

Micaela is 2 years older than Sam. In 4 years, the sum of their ages will be 40. How old is Micaela now?
Ann [662]

Answer:

The error is: The solution shows the Sam's age and the problem asked for Micaela's age.

Solution fixed: m=17

Micaela is 17 years old now.

Step-by-step explanation:

The error is: The solution shows the Sam's age and the problem asked for Micaela's age.

To fix the error, you can set up these equations based on the information given:

m=s+2  

(m+4)+(s+4)=40  

Solve for "s" from the first equation:

s=m-2

Substitute this equation into the second equation:

(m+4)+((m-2)+4)=40  

Now you need to solve for "m":

m+4+(m-2+4)=40\\m+4+m+2=40\\m+m=40-4-2\\2m=34\\m=\frac{34}{2}\\\\m=17

Micaela is 17 years old now.

Suppose that 35% of all voters voted for a recall. Find the mean of the sampling distribution of the proportion of the 3150 peop
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

0.35 is the mean of the sampling distribution of the proportion.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Percentage of voters who voted for recall = 35%

p = 35\% = 0.35

Sample size, n = 3150

We have to find the mean of the sampling distribution.

Formula for mean of sampling distribution:

\mu = p

Putting values, we get,

\mu = 0.35

Thus, 0.35 is the mean of the sampling distribution of people sampled in an exit poll who voted for the recall.

Tickets to a concert cost $50 for each orchestra seat and $40 for each
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

H. the number of orchestra seat is 900

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

let the number of orchestra seat be x

and balcony seat be y

cost of orchestra= $50 each

cost of balcony =$40 each

total tickets= 1500

x+y= 1500----------1

amount earned= $69000

50x+40y=69000--------2

The system of equation for the situation is

x+y= 1500----------1

50x+40y=69000--------2

from 1, x=1500-y

put this in equation 2

50(1500-y)+40y=69000

75000-50y+40y=69000

-10y=69000-75000

-10y=-6000

divide both sides by -10

y=-6000/-10

y=600

put y= 600 in equation 1

x+600= 1500

x=1500-600

x=900
