Two planes left the same airport traveling in opposite directions. The first plane left the airport at 2 P.M. traveling at an av

erage rate of 500 mph. The second plane left the airport at 4 P.M. traveling at an average rate of 550 mph. When will the planes be 3100 miles apart?

Ok so the first plane has 2 hours head start
means 2 times 500=1000=1000mile head start
so now

3100-1000=2100

in how many hours will the conbined planes travel 2100
500+550=1050
1050 times how many hours=2100
divide both sides by 1050
hours=2
4pm was our base time
4+2=6
answer is 6PM

Lines 3x-2y+7=0 and 6x+ay-18=0 is perpendicular. What is the value of a?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf a = 9 }

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are given to us which are perpendicular to each other and we need to find out the value of a . The given equations are ,

\sf\longrightarrow 3x - 2y +7=0

\sf\longrightarrow 6x +ay -18 = 0

Step 1 : <u>Conver</u><u>t</u><u> </u><u>the </u><u>equations</u><u> in</u><u> </u><u>slope</u><u> intercept</u><u> form</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> the</u><u> line</u><u> </u><u>.</u>

\sf\longrightarrow y = \dfrac{3x}{2} +\dfrac{ 7 }{2}

and ,

\sf\longrightarrow y = -\dfrac{6x }{a}+\dfrac{18}{a}

Step 2: <u>Find </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>slope</u><u> of</u><u> the</u><u> </u><u>lines </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

Now we know that the product of slope of two perpendicular lines is -1. Therefore , from Slope Intercept Form of the line we can say that the slope of first line is ,

\sf\longrightarrow Slope_1 = \dfrac{3}{2}

And the slope of the second line is ,

\sf\longrightarrow Slope_2 =\dfrac{-6}{a}

Step 3: <u>Multiply</u><u> </u><u>the </u><u>slopes </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

\sf\longrightarrow \dfrac{3}{2}\times \dfrac{-6}{a}= -1

Multiply ,

\sf\longrightarrow \dfrac{-9}{a}= -1

Multiply both sides by a ,

\sf\longrightarrow (-1)a = -9

Divide both sides by -1 ,

\sf\longrightarrow \boxed{\blue{\sf a = 9 }}

<u>Hence </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>value</u><u> of</u><u> a</u><u> </u><u>is </u><u>9</u><u> </u><u>.</u>

A prize wheel is divided into 12 equally likely spaces labeled 1 to 12.
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Events E and F are independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

E = {multiple of 3}  = {3, 6, 9, 12}

P(E) = 4/12

F = {even number}  = {2, 4, 6, 8. 10, 12}

P(F) = 6/12

E and F = {even and multiple of 3} = {6, 12}

P(E∩F) = 2/12

In order for two events to be independent the following relationship must be true:

P(E)*P(F) = P(E\cap F)

Testing this property:

P(E)*P(F) = \frac{4}{12}*\frac{6}{12}=\frac{24}{144}=\frac{1}{6}    \\P(E\cap F) = \frac{2}{12}=\frac{1}{6} \\P(E)*P(F) = P(E\cap F)

The relationship holds true, thus events E and F are independent.

A research student is working with a culture of bacteria that doubles in size every
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

2^{24}*1000 bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

The generic form of an exponential function is: f(n)=ar^n , where a is the initial amount, r is the rate, and n is the time.

In this case, the initial amount is 1000, so a = 1000. Also, the rate is 2 because the culture doubles in size every 5 minutes. However, our n is not just n; it's actually n/5 because the rate is doubling per 5 minutes, not per 1 minute. If it was per 1 minute, then the time would simply be n. Unfortunately, that's not the case here, so the exponent of r should be n/5, where n is the number of minutes that have passed.

Now, we have: f(n)=1000(2)^{n/5}

Since n is the number of minutes, we need to convert 2 hours to minutes:

2 hours * 60 min/hour = 120 minutes.

f(120)=1000(2)^{120/5}=1000(2)^{24}=2^{24}*1000f(120)=1000(2)^{120/5}=1000(2)^{24}=2^{24}*1000

Thus, the answer is 2^{24}*1000 bacteria.

Hope this helps!
