Let the speed of first car be x mph
the speed of the second one is (x+3) mph
Relative speed=x+x+3=(2x+3) mph
but
time=distance/speed
thus
3=(261)/(2x+3)
solving for x we get:
3(2x+3)=261
6x+9=261
6x=261-9
6x=252
hence:
x=42 mph

Thus the average speed of first car is 42 mph
Average speed of the second car is (42+3)=45 mph

Solve the triangle. A = 51°, b = 14, c = 6, I'll give 20 points
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that

A = 51°, b = 14, c = 6

step 1

find the value of a

Applying the law of cosines

a²=c²+b²-2*c*b*cos A

a²=6²+14²-2*6*14*cos 51-------> 126.27

a=11.2

we know that

The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.

we have

a=11.2

b=14

c=6

so

(a+b) > c-------------> (11.2+14)=25.2

25.2 > 6-----> is not correct

therefore

the answer is the option

a. No triangles possible

I don't know if i am right sorry if this is wrong

A shipping container contains seven complex electronic systems. Unknown to the purchaser, two are defective. Two of the seven ar
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

     \large\boxed{\large\boxed{10/21}}

Explanation:

There are only two mutually exclusive possibilities for each complex electronic system: being <em>defective</em> or being <em>not defective</em>:

  • Number of complex electronic systems: 7
  • Nmber of defective systems: 2
  • Number of not defective systems: 5

<em>Probability </em>that no defective systems are found in the sample is the equal to the probability of selecting them consecutively without replacement and finding each one is not defective:

  • Porbability the first is not defective × probability the second is not defective

  • 5/7 × 4/6 = 20/42 = 10/21
