Answer:

f(t) = -t + 21

g(t) = 18*e^( - t / 12 + 1/4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The graphs for the similar question is attached.

- The same graph would be used as reference but with different coordinates for point of intersection of f(t) and g(t) @ ( 3 , 18 ) & ( 15 , 6 ).

Find:

- The formulas for functions f(t) and g(t).

Solution:

- First we will determine f(t) the blue graph which is a "linear" function. The general equation for the linear function is given as:

                                    f(t) = m*t + c

Where, m: is the gradient  ( constant )

            c: The f(t) intercept. ( constant )

- The gradient m can be determined by the given points that lie on the graph:

                         m = ( f(t2) - f(t1) ) / ( t2 - t1 )

                         m = ( 6 - 18 ) / ( 15 - 3 )

                         m = -12 / 12 = -1

- The constant c can be evaluated by using any one point and m substituted back into the linear expression as follows:

                          f(t) = -t + c

                          18 = -(3) + c

                           c = 21

- The function f(t) is as follows:

                            f(t) = -t + 21

- The general expression for an exponential function can be written as:

                           g(t) = a*e^(b*t)

Where, a and b are constants to be evaluated.

- We will develop two expressions for g(t) using two given points that lie on the curve as follows:

                           18 = a*e^(3*b)

                           6 = a*e^(15*b)

- Divide the two expressions we have:

                           3 = e^( 3b - 15b )

                           Ln(3) = -12*b

                           b = - Ln(3) / 12

- Then the expression 1 becomes:

                          18 = a*e^( - Ln(3)*3 / 12)

                          18 = 3*a*e^(-1/4)

                           6 = a / e^(0.25)

                           a = 6*e^( 1 / 4 )

- The function g(t) can be expressed as:

                          g(t) = 18*e^( - t / 12 + 1/4 )

A student who is training for a distance race jogged for thirty minutes and covered a distance of 7.5 km. What is the average sp
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

<h2>Average speed is 15km/h</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data:

total distance =7.5km

time taken= 30 min= 0.5 hours

we know that the average speed is the average distance divided by time taken

Step two:

mathematically expressed as

speed=distance/time

substituting we have

speed=7.5/0.5

speed=15km/hour

Hence the average speed is 15km/h

<h3>The probability of  student passing the quiz with  at least 50% of the questions correct is 0.05457.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the total number of T/F question = 10

The minimum answers needed correctly answered = 8

So, student needs to answer at least 8 questions correctly.

Here, the possibility of answering a question correctly  = (\frac{1}{2})   = p = 0.5

Also, the possibility of answering a question wrong  = (\frac{1}{2})  = q = 0.5

Now, to pass he needs to answer 8 or more (  8 , 9 or 10) answers correctly.

P(answering 8 correct answer)  = ^{10}C_8(p)^8(q)^2 = ^{10}C_8(0.5)^8(0.5)^2  = 0.0439

P(answering 9 correct answer)  =  ^{10}C_9(p)^9(q)^1 = ^{10}C_9(0.5)^9(0.5)^1  = 0.0097

P(answering 10 correct answer)  = ^{10}C_{10}(p)^{10}(q)^0 = ^{10}C_{10}(0.5)^{10}(0.5)^0  = 0.00097

So, the total Probability   = P(8) + P(9) + P(10)

= (0.0439) + (0.0097) + (0.00097)

= 0.05457

Hence, the probability that the student passes the quiz  with  at least 8 of the questions correct is 0.05457.

A. 18 is 20 percent of what number? B. 15 is 25 percent of what number? C. 12 is 30 percent of what number? D. 24 is 40 percent
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

18=x*.20

15=x*.25

12=x*.30

24=x*.40

39=x*.60

78=x*.30

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x on each, divide the number on the left of the equal side by the number x is being multiplied by.  For example, 18/.20=x
