A road crosses a railroad track at the top of a steep hill.The train cannot stop for oncoming cars, and cars cannot see the trai

n until it is too late. Suppose a train begins crossing the road at time t1 and that the car begins crossing the track at time t2, where 0 < t1 < T and 0 < t2 < T
Required:
a. Find the sample space of this experiment.
b. Suppose that it takes the train al seconds to cross the road and it takes the car a2 seconds to cross the track. Find the set that corresponds to a collision taking place.
c. Find the set that corresponds to a collision is missed by 1 second or less.

Answer:

a. Sample space = { (t₁ , t₂ ) | 0 < t₁ < T , 0 < t₂ < T }

b.A₁ = { t₂ < t₁ < t₂ + a₂ }

  A₂ = { t₁ < t₂ < t₁ + a₁ }

  if t₁ - t₂ < a₂ , t₂ - t₁ < a₁

c. A₃ = { t₂ + a₂ < t₁ < t₂ + a₂ + 1 }

   A₄ = { t₁ + a₁ < t₂ < t₁ + a₁ + 1 }

Step-by-step explanation:

As given,

A train begins crossing the road at time t₁

The car begins crossing the track at time t₂

where 0 < t₁ < T and 0 < t₂ < T

a.)

Sample space = { (t₁ , t₂ ) | 0 < t₁ < T , 0 < t₂ < T }

b.)

Given that -

The train takes a₁ seconds to cross the road

The car takes a₂ seconds to cross the track.

So, The set that correspond to collision is

A₁ = { t₂ < t₁ < t₂ + a₂ }

A₂ = { t₁ < t₂ < t₁ + a₁ }

if t₁ - t₂ < a₂ , t₂ - t₁ < a₁

c)

The set that corresponds to a collision is missed by 1 second or less is -

A₃ = { t₂ + a₂ < t₁ < t₂ + a₂ + 1 }

A₄ = { t₁ + a₁ < t₂ < t₁ + a₁ + 1 }

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

y=2.50x+4.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of hours

y ----> the total cost to rent a bike in dollars

we know that

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

where

m is the slope or the unit rate of the linear equation

b is the y-intercept or the initial value

In this problem we have

The unit rate or slope is equal to

m=\$2.50\ per\ hour

The y-intercept (value of y when the value of x is equal to zero) is equal to

b=\$4.00 ----> (fee charge)

substitute the values

y=2.50x+4.00

Find the equation of a line that goes through the point (1,-1) and is parallel to the line y = -6x + 1
Katena32 [7]

y=-6x+5

the slope needs to stay -6 so the line stays parallel, with the slope going down 6, right 1, the y-int would have to be 5

Hey there,

Your question states: <span>The coordinates of A, B, and C in the diagram are A(p, 4), B(6, 1), and C(9, q). Which equation correctly relates p and q? 

Your correct answer would be </span><span>D. p − q = 7 BECAUSE . . .we would have to back the number up because we would need to basically subtract </span>P-Q which would give you 7. So D.) would be your answer.

Hope this helps.
