After thorough researching, if a jet in calm air conditions travels with velocity vector (389, 389) and the wind velocity (in mph) at the plane’s cruising altitude is given by (0, 50), then the plane’s true speed is 600 mph. The correct answer to the following given statement above is with the letter C.

Answer:

The correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnitude of a vector V=<a,b> is

|V|=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}

It is given that a jet, in calm air conditions, travels with velocity vector (389, 389). The magnitude of this vector is

|V_1|=\sqrt{389^2+389^2}=389\sqrt{2}

Since the x and y coordinates are same, therefore the angle with x-axis is 45 degrees or \frac{\pi}{2}.

The wind velocity (in mph) at the plane’s cruising altitude is given by (0, 50).

|V_2|=\sqrt{0^2+50^2}=50

The formula for resultant vector of vectors having a and b is

R=\sqrt{a^2+b^2+2ab\cos \theta}

R=\sqrt{(389\sqrt{2})^2+(50)^2+2(389\sqrt{2})(50)\cos (\frac{\pi}{4})}

R=586.55

R=587

The true speed of the plane is 287 mph.

Therefor the correct option is A.

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

0.917915

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential distribution is expressed as it follows

F (y,λ) = 1 – e ^(- λ(y) )

Where λ is equal to 1/ population mean

So λ = 1/2.8 = 0.357

Let y be the length of time a costumer wait on hold

Now, let´s find the value for y = 7 minutes, which is the proportion of costumer that wait on hold

P (y<7) = 1 – e^(- .357*(7) )

P (y<7) = 0.917915

gayaneshka [121]
The system of equations are:

2x − 4y = 6
−3x + 3y = 9

To eliminate x, you should:
1. multiply first equation with 3
2. multiply second equation with 2
3. add the new equations you got

So your answer is A.

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

Nina practiced the viola for 11.25 hours last week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Juan practiced the violin for 9 hours last week. For each 3 hours that he practices the violin, he practices 2.5 hours of cello. So

3h violin - 2.5h cello

9h violin - xh cello

3x = 9*2.5

x = 7.5

He practiced 7.5 hours of cello, the same as Nina.

For every 3 hours Nina spends practicing the viola she practices the cello for 2 hours. So:

3h viola - 2h cello

xh viola - 7.5h cello

2x = 3*7.5

x = 7.5*1.5

x = 11.25

Nina practiced the viola for 11.25 hours last week.
