11 * 5 = 55.

In this case 5 would be the smaller number and 11 would be the bigger number.
those two numbers are our ratio's, The sum of them combined is 55.

i hope this helped you.

So x and y
sum means add
difference means subtract
so we have
x+y=55 times (x-y)
use distributiver property which is
a(b-c)=ab-ac so
distribute 55(x-y)
55(x-y)=55x-55y

so we have
x+y=55x-55y
add 55y to boh sides
x+56y=55x
subtract x from both sides
56y=54x
divide both sides by 2
28y=27x
to find the ratio, switch the numbers around
ratio of y:x=27:28
therefor x is the greater number
ratio of larger to smaler is
28:27

At 2:00 PM a car's speedometer reads 30 mi/h. At 2:10 PM it reads 50 mi/h. Show that at some time between 2:00 and 2:10 the acce
Daniel [21]

Answer: If we define 2:00pm as our 0 in time; then:

at t= 0. the velocity is 30 mi/h.

then at t = 10m (or 1/6 hours) the velocity is 50mi/h

Then, if we think in the "mean acceleration" as the slope between the two velocities, we can find the slope as:

a= (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (50 mi/h - 30 mi/h)/(1/6h - 0h) = 20*6mi/(h*h) = 120mi/h^{2}

Now, this is the slope of the mean acceleration between t= 0h and t = 1/6h, then we can use the mean value theorem; who says that if F is a differentiable function on the interval (a,b), then exist at least one point c between a and b where F'(c) = (F(b) - F(a))/(b - a)

So if v is differentiable, then there is a time T between 0h and 1/6h where v(T) = 120mi/h^{2}

SSSSS [86.1K]

Given:

D be the event that a randomly chosen person has seen a dermatologist.

S be the event that a randomly chosen person has had surgery for skin cancer.

To find:

The correct notation for the probability that a randomly chosen person has had surgery for skin cancer, given that the person has seen a dermatologist.

Solution:

Conditional probability: Probability of A given B is:

P(A|B)=\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}

Let D be the event that a randomly chosen person has seen a dermatologist.

Let S be the event that a randomly chosen person has had surgery for skin cancer.

Using the conditional probability, the correct notation for the probability that a randomly chosen person has had surgery for skin cancer, given that the person has seen a dermatologist is P(S|D).

Therefore, the correct option is D.
