Answer:

The correct answer is B) 18%

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the vaccine is already and is 80% effective. This means that if the entire population was administered with the vaccine, only 8/10 would gain immunity leaving 2/10 or 0.2 exposed.

If the new vaccine, therefore, is supposed to be 90% effective, it is only pragmatic to administer it against those who do not have immunity which is 0.2 of the existing population.

So to get the percentage that will develop immunity, we have:

0.2 x 0.9 = 0.18 or 18%

A father’s age now is three times the age that his son was 4 years ago. In
Mice21 [21]
Let ‘s’ be the son’s age 12 years ago.
Let ‘f’ be the father’s current age.

4 years ago, the son was:

s-4

So, his father is currently:

3(s-4)

=

3s-12

Therefore:

f = 3s-12

In twelve years, the son will be:

s+12

And the father will be:

f+12

This can also be written as:

3s-12+12 as the fathers younger age would be f = 3s+12

=

3s

So, we know that s+12 is half the fathers current age, meaning the father is currently 2(s+12) which is equivalent to 2s+24. Also, we know that the father is currently 3 times the sons age 12 years ago, so 3s (proven by the calculations we made above). Therefore, 2s+24=3s which means 24=s. We can then substitute this, and we will receive 24+12 = 36

Son’s current age: 36

We then substitute the son’s age 12 years ago into 2s+24 to give us the father’s age.

2(24)+24 = 72

Father’s current age: 72

Describe the graph of the function f(x) = 2x^3 +14x^2 +13x +6. Include the y-intercept, x-intercepts, and the shape of the graph
vovikov84 [41]

f(x) = 2x^{3} + 14x^{2} + 13x + 6

The graph is attached below.

In order to find the y-intercept, check the graph and see where it hits the y-axis, so in this case the y-intercept would be  at (0,6).

To find the x-intercept, check the graph and see where it hits the x-axis, and here it hits at x = -6.

A Ferrari drove 300 kilometers in one and a half hours. How fast was the car going?
irga5000 [103]
I'm assuming you mean how many mph when you refer to how fast the car was going.

So 300 km = 1.5 hrs

1.) Find the number of km per hour
Since we have the equation 300km = 1.5hr, we can just divide 1.5 (to isolate the number of hours) on both sides.

You should get 200 km = 1 hour

2.) Convert km to miles
To do this, you must know the conversion 1 km = 0.621371192 miles

So to convert 200 km to miles, just multiply 200 x 0.621371192.

You should get 124.274238.

That means the Ferrari drove at a pace of roughly 124 mph :)
