in a bottle and drops it into the river. the bottle floats in the current and reaches at 7 : 40 AM the point where Johnny and his father began the trip. If the speed of the boat in still water is 9 km/h, what is the speed of the river current?

Answer:

4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Probably too late for your RSM homework, but here is the solution:

6/(9-x) [Time they motored upstream] +6/x [Time it took the bottle to get back to the starting point] = 8/3 [Total Time]

Simplify to 54/(x(9-x))=8/3

Cross multiply: 162=(8x)(9-x)

Simplify -x^2+9x=20.25

Multiply both sides by negative one and move 20.25 to the other side. x^2-9x+20.25=0

Solve and get 4.5 :D!

Romashka [77]

Answer:

To quickly solve this problem, we can use a graphing tool or a calculator to plot the equation.

Please see the attached image below, to find more information about the graph

The equation is:

y = tan(2x - π)

y = tan (2*(x-π/2))

We can compare it to its parent function

g(x) = tan(x)

The answer is

Option a.

Horizontal shrink by 1/2 and horizontal shift of π/2 to the right

This year the CDC reported that 30% of adults received their flu shot. Of those adults who received their flu shot,
Vlad [161]

Using conditional probability, it is found that there is a 0.1165 = 11.65% probability that a person with the flu is a person who received a flu shot.

Conditional Probability

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

In which

  • P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.
  • P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.
  • P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this problem:

  • Event A: Person has the flu.
  • Event B: Person got the flu shot.

The percentages associated with getting the flu are:

  • 20% of 30%(got the shot).
  • 65% of 70%(did not get the shot).

Hence:

P(A) = 0.2(0.3) + 0.65(0.7) = 0.515

The probability of both having the flu and getting the shot is:

P(A \cap B) = 0.2(0.3) = 0.06

Hence, the conditional probability is:

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.06}{0.515} = 0.1165

0.1165 = 11.65% probability that a person with the flu is a person who received a flu shot.
