Answer:

≈ 29 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

If t is the number of hours since noon, then the distance between ship A and the origin is 180 − 40t, and the distance between ship B and the origin is 35t.

Using Pythagorean theorem, the distance between the ships is:

d² = (35t)² + (180 − 40t)²

d² = 1225t² + 32400 − 14400t + 1600t²

d² = 2825t² − 14400t + 32400

Taking derivative with respect to time:

2d dd/dt = 5650t − 14400

dd/dt = (2825t − 7200) / d

First, find d when t = 4.

d² = 2825 (4)² − 14400 (4) + 32400

d² = 20000

d = 100√2

Now find dd/dt.

dd/dt = (2825(4) − 7200) / (100√2)

dd/dt = 41/√2

dd/dt ≈ 29 km/h

A professional organization sells term life insurance and major medical insurance. Of those who have just life insurance, 60% wi
kherson [118]

Answer:

The answer is "0.765 and 0.2353".

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the complete question in the attached file.

In point a:

P(a substantive term only)=0.75-0.2 =0.55

P(major health insurance only) = 0.45-0.20=0.25

P(both)= 0.20

P(renewal) =P(insurance and renewal term only)+P (substantial and renewable health insurance only)+P (both and renew)

=0.55\times 0.7+0.25 \times 0.8+0.2 \times 0.9 \\\\ =0.765

In point b:

In reality, the probability of having both life and major medical insurance provided the policyholder would renew next year

= \frac{\text{P(both and renew)}}{\text{P(renew)}}

=\frac{0.2\times 0.9}{0.765}\\\\=0.2353
