In an electrical circuit ,the voltage across a resistor is directly proportional to the current running through the resitor.If a

current of twelve amps produces 480 volts across a resistor,how many volts would a current of 1.5 amps produce across an identical resitor?

Answer: The voltage across an identical resistor = 60 Volts

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Given  that voltage across the resistor is directly proportional to the current running through the resitor.

 Mathematically, it would be represented as

Voltage  ∝  Current

Introducing the constant of proportionality,  k which represents the Resistor as it is constant.

we have that

Voltage  = K  x  Current

When current = 12 amps and voltage = 480v, the constant of proportionality  K

480 = k x 12

k = 480/12

k= 40

Step 2 ,

when current = 1.5 amps

 Voltage = ?

Using our equation that

Voltage  = K  x  Current

Voltage = 40 x 1.5

Voltage = 60 Volts

The waiting time, in minutes, to see a teller at a large bank follows an exponential distribution. If the proportion of all cust
Arada [10]

Answer: 0.00067 minutes

Step-by-step explanation: if the proportion of customers who wait more than 15 minutes is 0.01, then the time interval between each waiting customer 15/0.01 = 1500 minutes.

The distribution that defines this question is that of an exponential.

An exponential distribution is dependent on the fixed time rate at which the event is occurring (λ)

For this question of ours, λ = 1500 minutes.

The mean of an exponential distribution is given as

u = 1/ λ = 1/1500 = 0.00067 minutes.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point ( − 4 , 8 )and has a slope of − 1/4
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

y = -1/4x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in the point and slope into y = mx + b, and solve for b:

y = mx + b

8 = -1/4(-4) + b

8 = 1 + b

7 = b

Plug in the slope and b into y = mx + b:

y = mx + b

y = -1/4x + 7

So, the equation of the line is y = -1/4x + 7

Find the distance from the point (-4, 4) to the line y=-2x+1 . Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
kati45 [8]

Answer:

5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the distance between the line y = -2x + 1 and the point (-4, 4), we need to find the position of the line at x = -4. Shortest distance between two objects is a straight line, right?

So y = -2(-4) + 1 = 9; (-4, 9).

Finding the distance between (-4, 4) and (-4, 9) gives us the answer of 5.
