Answer:

80 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial speed of the car (v_0) = 40 ft/sec

Deceleration of the car (\frac{dv}{dt}) = -10 ft/sec²

Final speed of the car (v_x) = 0 ft/sec

Let the distance traveled by the car be 'x' at any time 't'. Let 'v' be the velocity at any time 't'.

Now, deceleration means rate of decrease of velocity.

So, \frac{dv}{dt}=-10\ ft/sec^2

Negative sign means the velocity is decreasing with time.

Now, \frac{dv}{dt}=\frac{dv}{dx}(\frac{dx}{dt}) using chain rule of differentiation. Therefore,

\frac{dv}{dx}\cdot\frac{dx}{dt}= -10\\\\But\ \frac{dx}{dt}=v.\ So,\\\\v\frac{dv}{dx}=-10\\\\vdv=-10dx

Integrating both sides under the limit 40 to 0 for 'v' and 0 to 'x' for 'x'. This gives,

\int\limits^0_{40} {v} \, dv=\int\limits^x_0 {-10} \, dx\\\\\left [ \frac{v^2}{2} \right ]_{40}^{0}=-10x\\\\-10x=\frac{0}{2}-\frac{1600}{2}\\\\10x=800\\\\x=\frac{800}{10}=80\ ft

Therefore, the car travels a distance of 80 feet before stopping.

A company produces steel rods. The lengths of the steel rods are normally distributed with a mean of 201.9-cm and a standard dev
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

There is a 0.08% probability that the average length of a randomly selected bundle of steel rods is greater than 204.1-cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

A company produces steel rods. The lengths of the steel rods are normally distributed with a mean of 201.9-cm and a standard deviation of 2.1-cm. This means that \mu = 201.9, \sigma = 2.1.

For shipment, 9 steel rods are bundled together. Find the probability that the average length of a randomly selected bundle of steel rods is greater than 204.1-cm.

By the Central Limit Theorem, since we are using the mean of the sample, we have to use the standard deviation of the sample in the Z formula. That is:

s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{2.1}{\sqrt{9}} = 0.7

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 204.1.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{204.1 - 201.9}{0.7}

Z = 3.14

Z = 3.14 has a pvalue of 0.9992. This means that there is a 1-0.9992 = 0.0008 = 0.08% probability that the average length of a randomly selected bundle of steel rods is greater than 204.1-cm.

Tan(x)+tan(y)=sin(x+y)/cos(x)cos(y)
marusya05 [52]
tan(x) + tan(y) = \frac{sin(x + y)}{cos(x)cos(y)}
\frac{sin(x)}{cos(x)} + \frac{sin(y)}{cos(y)} = \frac{sin(x + y)}{cos(x)cos(y)}
\frac{sin(x)cos(y)}{cos(x)cos(y)} + \frac{sin(y)cos(x)}{cos(x)cos(y)} = \frac{sin(x + y)}{cos(x)cos(y)}
\frac{sin(x)cos(y) + sin(y)cos(x)}{cos(x)cos(y)} = \frac{sin(x + y)}{cos(x)cos(y)}
\frac{sin(x + y)}{cos(x)cos(y)} = \frac{sin(x + y)}{cos(x)cos(y)}
