A parachutist falls at a speed of about 12 miles per hour. Find this speed in feet per second

Mathematics

So in 1 hour, the parachutist will fall 12 miles or
12 mi/1hour

convert
1 hour=60 mins
1 min=60 seconds
1 hour=60 times 60 seconds=360 seconds
12 miles per 360 seconds


convert miles to feet
5280 feet per mile
12 miles times 5280=63360 feet

63360/360
do the math and simplify
63360/360=6336/36=176

176 feet per second

Doss [256]

Answer:

a) P [ Z > 70 ]  = 0.1075  or 10.75 %

b)  P [ Z < 60 ] = 0.1038   or  10.38 %

c)  P [ 55 ≤ Z ≤ 70 ] =  0.8882   or 88.82 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Distribution  μ = 65    and σ = 4

a) The probability of the car travels more than 70 miles per gallon is:

P [ Z > 70 ]  =  (Z-μ) ÷ σ  ⇒   P [ Z > 70 ] = (70-65) ÷4     P [ Z > 70 ] = 1.25

the point 1.25 corresponds at values, from left tail up to 70 so we must go and look for the area for the point 1.24 which is 0.8925. Then we have the area or probability of all cars traveling up  to 70 miles therefore  we have to subtract 1 -0,8925

P [ Z > 70 ]  = 0.1075  or 10.75 %

b)The probability of the car travels less than 60 miles per gallon is:

P [ Z < 60 ]  = ( 60 - μ ) ÷  σ ⇒  P [ Z < 60 ] = (60-65)÷ 4    P [ Z < 60 ] = -1.25

Again -1.25 corresponds to 60 miles per gallon threfore we move to the left and find for point -1.26  which area is 0.1038 so

P [ Z < 60 ] = 0.1038     10.38 %

c) P [ 55 ≤ Z ≤ 70]

For  point  Z = 70 or 1.25 (case a above)  P [ Z ≤ 70] = (70-65)÷4  

P [ Z ≤ 70] = 1.25

In this case we got the whole area from the left tail up to 1.25

P [ Z ≤ 70]  = 0.8944 (includes the area of the point from the left tail up to the point assocciated to 55 miles and for that reason we have to subtract that area)

P [ Z ≥ 55 ]  = (55-65) ÷ 4     P [ Z ≥ 55 ] = -2.5  and the area is 0.0062

So P [ 55 ≤ Z ≤ 70 ] =  0.8944 - 0.0062  = 0.8882

Find the general solution to 3y′′+12y=0. Give your answer as y=... . In your answer, use c1 and c2 to denote arbitrary constants
lozanna [386]

Answer:

y(x)=c_1e^{2ix}+c_2e^{-2ix}

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the following differential equation:

3y''+12y=0     (1)

In order to find the solution to the equation, you can use the method of the characteristic polynomial.

The characteristic polynomial of the given differential equation is:

3m^2+12=0\\\\m^2=-\frac{12}{3}=-4\\\\m_{1,2}=\pm2\sqrt{-1}=\pm2i

The solution of the differential equation is:

y(x)=c_1e^{m_1x}+c_2e^{m_2x}   (2)

where m1 and m2 are the roots of the characteristic polynomial.

You replace the values obtained for m1 and m2 in the equation (2). Then, the solution to the differential equation is:

y(x)=c_1e^{2ix}+c_2e^{-2ix}
