Answer:

  54.2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the drivers leave at the same time and travel in directions 90° from each other, their separation speed can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. Let c represent Cynthia's average speed. Then (c-10) will represent Tim's average speed. Their combined separation speed is 70 miles per hour, so we can write ...

  70² = c² +(c -10)²

  4900 = 2c² -20c +100 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  c² -10c -2400 = 0 . . . . . . . . divide by 2; put in standard form

  (c -5)² -2425 = 0 . . . . . . . . . rearrange to vertex form

  c = 5 ±5√97 . . . . . . . . . . . . solve for c, simplify radical

  c ≈ 54.244 ≈ 54.2 . . . . . . . use the positive solution

Cynthia's average speed was 54.2 miles per hour.

I need help with slope (8th grade)
Triss [41]

Answer:

(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)

Step-by-step explanation:

if you have two points from the graph then you can use them to find the slope, for example:

(2,3) and (0,5)

you would take the first point and put it in a fraction (and the second point) but the x goes on the bottom and the y goes on the top:

3/2 and 5/0

Next you put them together minusing one of the equations, but make sure that the two coordinates line up (it doesn't matter which one, in the order):

3-5/2-0

Then you solve:

-2/2

-1

which means that -1 is the slope for this

(the "/" is a fraction bar, in case you didn't already know that)

Answer: D.

Step-by-step explanation: it’s D because when you do the volume of mode A, you get 48 units. When you do the volume of model B you get 40 units. Use the formula V=length x width x height!

If two events a and b are independent and you know that p(a) = 0.65, what is the value of p(a | b)?
Ksivusya [100]
Let's think of an example which would better help visualize this situation. 

1) Someone exercises a lot so they can concentrate more on their homework (here running and concentration on homework are dependent events)

2) Someone exercises a lot because they wear a blue t-shirt (here, you can clearly see that wearing a blue shirt and exercising are not related. These events are independent).

Now concentrating on P(a | b) = Probability a occurred if b occurred. 

It does not matter if b occurred (just like it didn't matter that the person wore a blue shirt which meant that they exercised) for the outcome a to occur. 

Therefore, probability of P(a | b) = P(a) 

P(a | b) = 0.65 

Hope I helped :)
