Answer:

Bus speed:  22 mph; Trolley speed:  14 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let rb represent the speed of the bus and rt the speed of the trolley.  Then rb = rt + 8 (mph).

Recall that distance = rate times time.  Two different distances and two different speeds are involved here, but only one time.

Thus,

             60 mi                                                           44 mi

     --------------------- = time (same in both cases) = -------------

          rt + 8 mi/hr                                                        rt

Cross-multiplying, we get   44rt + 8(44) = 60 rt, or

                                                    352 = 16rt.

Solving this for rt, we get    rt = speed of bus = 352/16 = 22 mph

The speed at which the bus travels is 22 mph and that at which the trolley travels is (22 mph - 8 mph) = 14 mph

Type the correct answer in the box. Round your answer to the thousandth place.
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The probability that carbon emissions from the factory are within the permissible level and the test predicts the opposite to be true is 19.338% (Rounding to the next thousandth place)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Probability that carbon emissions from the company’s factory exceed the permissible level = 35% = 0.35

Accuracy of the test of emissions level = 85% = 0.85

2. The probability that carbon emissions from the factory are within the permissible level and the test predicts the opposite to be true is?

These two events, carbon emissions from the company’s factory and the accuracy of the test are independent events, therefore:

Probability that carbon emissions from the factory are within the permissible level = 1 - 0.35 = 0.65

Probability that the test predicts the opposite to be true = 0..35 * 0.85 = 0.2975 (The opposite is that the carbon emissions from the company exceed the permissible level)

Probability that carbon emissions from the factory are within the permissible level and the test predicts the opposite to be true is:

0.65 * 0.2975 = 0.193375

The probability that carbon emissions from the factory are within the permissible level and the test predicts the opposite to be true is 19.338% (Rounding to the next thousandth place

The line l with equation x - 2y + 2 = 0 crosses the y-axis at the point P. The line
Sauron [17]

Answer:

Area of ΔPQR is 28 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

-P is the point with coordinates ( 0, y-intercept for line x-2y+2 =0)

-rearrange the equation in the point-slope form y=mx+b  to find the y coordinate of the point P( 0, b)

x-2y+2 = 0, subtract x and 2 from both sides

-2y = -x-2, divide by -2 both sides

y= (1/2)x +1 so b=1 and P (0, 1)

-Q  is the point with coordinates ( 0, y-intercept for line 3x+y -15 =0)

-rearrange the equation in the point-slope form y=mx+b  to find the y coordinate of the point Q( 0, b)

3x +y -15 =0, subtract 3x and add 15 to both sides

y= -3x +15 so b=15 and Q(0,15)

-R is the intersection of the two lines so is the solution of the system of equations y= (1/2)x +1 and y= -3x +15

(1/2)x +1 =  -3x +15, add 3x and subtract1

(1/2) x+3x = 15-1, combine like terms

(7/2)x = 14 , multiply both sides by 2

7x = 28, divide both sides by 7

x= 4

y= (1/2)x +1 = (4/2) +1 =3 so R(4,3)

- the area of ΔPQR is (base *height)/2

base= 15-1= 14

height = 4

A= (14*4)/2 = 14*2 = 28

Solve the equation below for a<br><br> vf=vi+at
ipn [44]

Answer:

a=\frac{vf - vi }{t}

Step-by-step explanation:

vf=vi + at

vf-vi= at

divide  both sides by t

\frac{vf - vi }{t} =\frac{at}{t}

a=\frac{vf - vi }{t}
