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.

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 }

Which of the following would best represent a cosine function with an amplitude of 3, a period of pi/2 , and a midline at y = –4
Grace [21]
To transform the function f(x)= cos(x) to have the amplitude of 3, we need to multiply the constant 3 to the function f(x), so we have y=3f(x)

To transform the function f(x)=cos(x) to have the midline y=-4 we need to subtract f(x) by 4, so we have y=f(x)-4, 

To transform the function f(x)=cos(x) to have period of \frac{ \pi }{2}, we need to divide the original period 2 \pi by 4, so we have y=f(4x). Note that it is the 4x gives the effect of dividing the points on x-axes by 4 and the period is read on x-axes

Hence, the full transformation is given y=3f(4x)-4 which is the last option

Describe and correct the error in finding the solution of the equation 2x=6x
kipiarov [429]
The error is that both sides of the equation have a variable. So if you were to combine your like terms, then you'd leave one side without a number and if your teacher is saying there is a left over number then it will be 0
