Question 6

So hmmmmm, notice... the boat went up in 3hrs, came back to the starting point in 2hrs, it went up 108km, it came back, well, from 108km to distance 0, so the distance on the way back is just the same 108km

now... let's say the stream has a speed rate of "r", and the boat has a still water speed rate of "b"

bear in mind that, when the boat is going UP, is not really going "b" fast, because the stream's "r" rate is going against it, and thus subtracting "r" from "b", so is really going " b - r " fast

when the boat is going down, is not going "b" fast either, because, again the stream's rate "r" is adding to it, because is going with the current, so is really going " b + r " fast

now, recall your d =rt, distance = rate * time

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&distance&rate&time\\
&-----&-----&-----\\
upstream&108&b-r&3\\
downstream&108&b+r&2
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\begin{cases}
108=3(b-r)\implies \frac{108}{3}=b-r\\
\qquad 36=b-r\implies 36+r=\boxed{b}\\\\
108=2(b+r)\implies 54=b+r\\
\qquad 54=\boxed{36+r}+r
\end{cases}

solve for "r"

what's b?  well, 36+ r = b

Answer:

<h2><u>x = 15 ft.</u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras Theorem:

x^{2} + 8^{2} = 17^{2}

⇒ x^{2} = 17^{2} - 8^{2}

⇒ x = \sqrt{(17^{2} - 8^{2})}

⇒ x = \sqrt{(289 - 64)}

⇒ x = \sqrt{(225)}

⇒ x = 15 ft.

For safety reasons, four different alarm systems were installed in the vault containing the safety deposit boxes at a beverly hi
AleksAgata [21]
The probability any one system works is 0.99
So the probability of any one system failing is 1-0.99 = 0.01, so basically a 1% chance of failure for any one system

Multiply out the value 0.01 with itself four times
0.01*0.01*0.01*0.01 = 0.000 000 01
I'm using spaces to make the number more readable
So the probability of all four systems failing is 0.00000001
Subtract this value from 1 to get
1 - 0.00000001 = 0.99999999

The answer is 0.99999999 which is what we'd expect. The probability of at least one of the systems working is very very close to 1 (aka 100%)
