Answer:

800

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = speed of the plane A, and b = speed of plane B.

(Assume that the net effect of the wind is negligible.)

From the first sentence, the distance between A and B after each travels for 1 hour is a + b miles. From the second sentence, after 45 minutes, or 0.75 hour, the distance between A and B is 200 miles. Plane a has traveled 0.75a, while plane B has traveled 0.75b.

Hence a + b = 0.75a + 0.75b +200

==> 0.25(a + b) = 200.

==> a + b = 800.

Therefore planes A and B are 800 miles apart now

Answer:

Let a = speed of the plane A, and b = speed of plane B.

(Assume that the net effect of the wind is negligible.)

From the first sentence, the distance between A and B after each travels for 1 hour is a + b miles. From the second sentence, after 45 minutes, or 0.75 hour, the distance between A and B is 200 miles. Plane a has traveled 0.75a, while plane B has traveled 0.75b.

 

Hence a + b = 0.75a + 0.75b +200

==> 0.25(a + b) = 200.

==> a + b = 800.

Therefore planes A and B are 800 miles apart now.

<span>4% is the same as 0.04 </span>

<span>so 0.04 x n = 56 where "n" is some number </span>

Andy was given data to draw 3 scatter diagrams.
vredina [299]

Answer:

A) Negative Correlation. B) C. C) B

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>A:</h2>

As the line of best fit is travelling downwards, it is a negative correlation, if the line of best fit is travelling upwards, it is a positive correlation, if the points on the graph are all over the place, there is no correlation.

<h2>B:</h2>

As there are only three types of correlation, the strongest is always the positive.

<h2>C:</h2>

The answer is B because there is no correlation and that means that there shouldn't be a line of best fit.

A submarine travels 6.6 km due West from its base and then turns and travels due South for 3.9
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

7.7 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The submarine's path from its base forms a right triangle when its final position is "connected" to the base. We know that the right triangle has legs of 6.6 km and 3.9 km, and we need to find the length of its hypotenuse. To do so, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that in a right triangle, a^{2}+b^{2} =c^{2}, where a and b are the lengths of the triangle's legs and c is the length of the triangle's hypotenuse. In this case, we know what a and b are, and we need to solve for c, so after substituting the given values of a and b into a^{2}+b^{2} =c^{2} to solve for c, we get:

a^{2}+b^{2} =c^{2}

6.6^{2} +3.9^{2} =c^{2} (Substitute a=6.6 and b=3.9 into the equation)

43.56+15.21=c^{2} (Evaluate the squares on the LHS)

58.77=c^{2} (Simplify the LHS)

c^{2}=58.77 (Symmetric Property of Equality)

\sqrt{c^{2} } =\sqrt{58.77} (Take the square root of both sides of the equation)

c=7.7,c=-7.7 (Simplify)

c=-7.7 is an extraneous solution because you can't have negative distance, if that makes sense, so therefore, the submarine is approximately 7.7 km away from its base. Hope this helps!
