A particle is moving along the parabola x^2=4(y+6). As the particle passes through the point (8,10), the rate of change of its y

-coordinate is 5 units per second. How fast, in units per second, is the x-coordinate changing at this instant?

You'll need to use differentiation (specifically, implicit differentiation) here.

If x^2 = 4(y+6), differentiating both sides with respect to time t produces the following:

2x (dx/dt) = 4([dy/dt])   (note that (d/dt) 6 = 0)

We need to solve for (dx/dt).  Substitute 8 for x (y does not appear in this latest equation, so we do nothing with y=10).  Substitute the given 5 units/sec for dy/dt:

2(8)(dx/dt) = 4(5)(units/sec)

Solving for dx/dt, dx/dt = [20 units/sec]/16, or 5/4 units/sec, or 1.25 units/sec.

3. If P (A) = 0.2 and P (B) = 0.3 and A and B are disjoint, what is P (A or B)?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:  The calculations are below.

Step-by-step explanation:  The calculations are as follows:

(3) Given that for two events A and B,

P(A)=0.2,~~P(B)=0.3,~~P(A\cup B)=?

Since A and B are disjoint, so

A\cap B=\phi~~~~~\Rightarrow P(A\cap B)=0.

From the law of probability, we have

P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)=0.2+0.3-0=0.50.

Thus, the correct option is (E) 0.50.

(4) Given that a fair six-sided die is rolled. We are to find the probability that an odd number is rolled.

Let, 'A' be event of rolling an odd number. So,

A = {1, 3, 5}   ⇒ n(A) = 3.

Let 'S' be the sample space for the experiment. So,

S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}   ⇒ n(S) = 6.

Therefore, the probability of rolling an odd number is given by

P(A)=\dfrac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\dfrac{3}{6}=\dfrac{1}{2}.

Thus, the correct option is (D) \dfrac{1}{2}.

(5) Given that there are 3 red marbles, 4 white marbles, and 1 green marble in a bag and marbles are drawn without replacement.

So, the probability that 3 marbles can be drawn without drawing the green marble is given by

P=\dfrac{7}{8}\times \dfrac{6}{7}\times \dfrac{5}{6}=\dfrac{5}{8}=0.625.

Thus, the correct option is (A) 0.625.

(6) The sample space for rolling a six-sided die is  {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

and the sample space for tossing a coin is {H, T}.

Therefore, the sample space for rolling a six-sided die and tossing a coin will be

S = {1H, 2H, 3H, 4H, 5H, 6H, 1T, 2T, 3T, 4T, 5T, 6T}.

Thus, the correct option is {1H, 2H, 3H, 4H, 5H, 6H, 1T, 2T, 3T, 4T, 5T, 6T}.

(7) Given that for two events A and B,

P(A)=0.2,~~P(B)=0.3,~~~P(A\cup B) =?

Since A and B are independent but not necessarily disjoint, so

P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)=0.2\times 0.3=0.06.

From the law of probability, we have

P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)=0.2+0.3-0.06=0.5-0.06=0.44.

Thus, the correct option is (C) 0.44.

(8) Given that three coins are tossed.

The sample space for each of them is S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.

The equally likely outcomes when three coins are tossed together are

{(1, 1 , 1), (2, 2, 2), (3, 3, 3), (4, 4, 4), (5, 5, 5), (6, 6, 6)}.

So, the total number of equally likely outcomes = 6.

Thus, the correct option is (C) 6.

Hence all the questions are answered.

Ok this is not related to school but can any Christians tell me about the "mark of the beast "
Ghella [55]

Answer:

People usally call mark of the beast 666

Step-by-step explanation:

"And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is 666."

netineya [11]

Answer: There is 36 girls and 54 boys.

Step-by-step explanation: If there is 36 girls and there is 3 boys for every 2 girls that means half of 36 is 18 so do 18 times 3 which will equal 54 boys.

54+36=90
