answer: 16

work:

to solve, multiply -4 to the second power, or mutiply it by itself once.

- 4 x - 4 = 16

so, your answer is 16.

A jet travels 4680 miles against the wind in eight hours and 5720 miles in the wind in the same amount of time what is the rate

Kryger [21]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

jet: 650 mph
wind: 65 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed against the wind is ...

4680 mi/(8 h) = 585 mi/h

The speed with the wind is ...

5720 mi/(8 h) = 715 mi/h

The speed of the airplane in still air is the average of these speeds:

(585 +715)/2 = 650 mi/h . . . speed in still air

The speed of the wind is the difference between the airplane speed and the speed in the wind:

715 -650 = 65 mi/h . . . speed of the wind

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

If p and 'a' represent the speeds of the plane and the air, the speeds with and against the wind are ...

p + a = with

p - a = against

If we average these, we get ...

((p +a) +(p -a))/2 = (with + against)/2

p = (with + against)/2 . . . . . . . the formula we used above

a 15-foot telephone pole has a wire that extends from the top of the pole to the ground. The wire and the ground form a 42 degre

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

The length of the wire is 22.42 feet

The distance from the base of the pole to the spot where the wire touches the ground is 16.66 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the situation in the problem

- The telephone pole , the wire and the ground formed a right triangle

- The wire is the hypotenuse of the triangle

- The height of the telephone pole and the distance from the base of

the pole to the spot where the wire touches the ground are the legs

of the triangle

- The angle between the wire and the ground is 42°

- The angle 42° is opposite to the height of the telephone pole

- The height of the telephone pole is 15 feet

* Lets use the trigonometry functions to find the length of the wire

(hypotenuse) and the distance from the base of the pole to the spot

where the wire touches the ground

∵ sin Ф = opposite/hypotenuse

∵ Ф = 42° and its opposite side = 15 feet

∴ sin 42 = 15/hypotenuse ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ sin 42° (hypotenuse) = 15 ⇒ divide both sides by sin 42

∴ hypotenuse = 15/sin 42° = 22.42 feet

∵ The length of the wire is the hypotenuse

∴ The length of the wire is 22.42 feet

∵ The distance from the base of the pole to the spot where the wire

touches the ground is the adjacent side to the angle 42°

∵ tan Ф = opposite/adjacent

∴ tan 42° = 15/adjacent ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ tan 42° (adjacent) = 15 ⇒ divide both sides by sin 42

∴ adjacent = 15/tan 42° = 16.66 feet

∵ The adjacent side is the distance from the base of the pole to the

spot where the wire touches the ground

∴ The distance from the base of the pole to the spot where the wire

touches the ground is 16.66 feet

At a certain gas station, 40% of the customers use regular gas (A1), 35% use plus gas (A2), and 25% use premium (A3). Of those c

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

a.)

P( A₂ ∩ B ) = P(B | A₂) × P(A₂)

P( A₂ ∩ B ) = 0.40 × 0.35

P( A₂ ∩ B ) = 0.14

b.)

P(B) = P( A₁ ∩ B ) + P( A₂ ∩ B ) + P( A₃ ∩ B )

P(B) = 0.08 + 0.14 + 0.125

P(B) = 0.345

c.)

For regular gas:

P(A₁ | B) = P( A₁ ∩ B ) / P(B)

P(A₁ | B) = 0.08 / 0.345

P(A₁ | B) = 0.232

For plus gas:

P(A₂ | B) = P( A₂ ∩ B ) / P(B)

P(A₂ | B) = 0.14 / 0.345

P(A₂ | B) = 0.406

For premium gas:

P(A₃ | B) = P( A₃ ∩ B ) / P(B)

P(A₃ | B) = 0.125 / 0.345

P(A₃ | B) = 0.362

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information

40% of the customers use regular gas (A2)

P(A₁) = 0.40

35% use plus gas (A2)

P(A₂) = 0.35

25% use premium (A3)

P(A₃) = 0.25

Of those customers using regular gas, only 20% fill their tanks (event B).

P(B | A₁) = 0.20

Of those customers using plus, 40% fill their tanks

P(B | A₂) = 0.40

Whereas of those using premium, 50% fill their tanks.

P(B | A₃) = 0.5

a) What is the probability that the next customer will request plus gas and fill their tank?

We are asked to find P(A₂ ∩ B) = ?

Recall that Multiplicative law of probability is given by

P( A₂ ∩ B ) = P(B | A₂) × P(A₂)

P( A₂ ∩ B ) = 0.40 × 0.35

P( A₂ ∩ B ) = 0.14

b) What is the probability that the next customer fills the tank?

We are asked to find P(B) = ?

P(B) = P( A₁ ∩ B ) + P( A₂ ∩ B ) + P( A₃ ∩ B )

P( A₂ ∩ B ) is already calculated, we need to calculate

P( A₁ ∩ B ) and P( A₃ ∩ B )

So,

P( A₁ ∩ B ) = P(B | A₁) × P(A₁)

P( A₁ ∩ B ) = 0.20 × 0.40

P( A₁ ∩ B ) = 0.08

P( A₃ ∩ B ) = P(B | A₃) × P(A₃)

P( A₃ ∩ B ) = 0.50 × 0.25

P( A₃ ∩ B ) = 0.125

Finally,

P(B) = P( A₁ ∩ B ) + P( A₂ ∩ B ) + P( A₃ ∩ B )

P(B) = 0.08 + 0.14 + 0.125

P(B) = 0.345

c) If the next customer fills the tank, what is the probability that the regular gas is requested? Plus? Premium

For regular gas:

P(A₁ | B) = P( A₁ ∩ B ) / P(B)

P(A₁ | B) = 0.08 / 0.345

P(A₁ | B) = 0.232

For plus gas:

P(A₂ | B) = P( A₂ ∩ B ) / P(B)

P(A₂ | B) = 0.14 / 0.345

P(A₂ | B) = 0.406

For premium gas:

P(A₃ | B) = P( A₃ ∩ B ) / P(B)

P(A₃ | B) = 0.125 / 0.345

P(A₃ | B) = 0.362
