Answer:
1/7
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability that the Captain hits is \dfrac{1}{2}
2
1
start fraction, 1, divided by, 2, end fraction.
The probability that the pirate hits is \dfrac{2}{7}
7
2
start fraction, 2, divided by, 7, end fraction.
1/2 x 2/7 = 1/7
If A=38x-x^2 then
dA/dx=38-2x
d2A/dx2=-2
Since the acceleration, d2A/dx2 is a constant negative, when velocity, dA/dx=0, it will be an absolute maximum for A(x)
dA/dx=0 only when 38=2x, x=19
A(19)=38(19)-19^2
A(19)=722-361
A(19)=361 ft^2
So the maximum possible area is 361 ft^2
(This will always be true as the maximum possible area enclosed by a given amount of material will always be a perfect square...)
The direct variation equation is:
d=kt
where d is the distance that the giraffe travels
k is the constant of variation
and t is time
Now we are told that the giraffe can travel 800 ft in 20 seconds, so we can solve for the constant of variation (k)
800=k(20) divide both sides by 20
k=40-------------and the units are ft per sec
So now we can write
d=40t
ck
d=40t
800ft=40*20 ft
800 ft= 800 ft
Hope this helps!
