A plane that carries mail makes a round trip each day from Chicago to New York. It makes 3 intermediate stops on the way to New

York and 1 intermediate stop on the way back to Chicago. Suppose you make a graph of the altitude of the plane for one day, with time on the horizontal axis and altitude on the vertical axis. How many times will the graph touch the horizontal axis

If we assume that we're measuring altitude from ground level (as opposed to sea level), there will be x-axis touches for ...

  • Chicago (the starting point for the day)
  • stop 1
  • stop 2
  • stop 3
  • New York
  • stop 4
  • Chicago (the ending point for the day)

The graph will touch the horizontal axis 7 times.

Answer:

7 times the graph will touch the horizontal axis

Step-by-step explanation:

It flow from Chicago to first intermediate stop, Number of times on the horizontal axis 1.

1st intermediate stop to 2nd intermediate stop, Number of times on the horizontal axis 2.

2nd intermediate stop to 3rd intermediate stop, Number of times on the horizontal axis 3.

3rd intermediate stop to New York, Number of times on the horizontal axis 5.

Return

New York to 1st intermediate stop, Number of times on the horizontal axis 6.

1st intermediate stop to Chicago, Number of times on the horizontal axis 7.

Line segment XY is located at X(2, 6) and Y(4,8). If the line segments is dilated by a scale factor of 2 with a center of dilati
Kamila [148]

Given:

Line segment XY is located at X(2, 6) and Y(4,8).

The line segments is dilated by a scale factor of 2 with a center of dilation of T(-3, 4).

To find:

The coordinates of X'

Solution:

If a figure dilated by a scale factor k with a center of dilation (a,b), then the rule of dilation is:

(x,y)\to (k(x-a)+a,k(y-b)+b)

The line segments is dilated by a scale factor of 2 with a center of dilation of T(-3, 4). So, the rule of dilation is

(x,y)\to (2(x-(-3))+(-3),2(y-4)+4)

(x,y)\to (2(x+3)-3,2y+2(-4)+4)

(x,y)\to (2x+6-3,2y-8+4)

(x,y)\to (2x+3,2y-4)

The coordinate of X are (2,6).

X(2,6)\to X'(2(2)+3,2(6)-4)

X(2,6)\to X'(4+3,12-4)

X(2,6)\to X'(7,8)

Therefore, the coordinates of X' are (7,8).

The repeating decimal,0.27 repeting, is converted to the fraction 3/x. What is the value of x in the fraction?
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:5/18=.2777777777777

Step-by-step explanation:

.27777 (7 repeating)

100x=27.7777

10x=   2.7777

Subtract

90x=25

x=25/90=5/18

Check

5/18=.2777777777777

Hope that helps.

The time college students spend on the internet follows a Normal distribution. At Johnson University, the mean time is 5 hrs wit
netineya [11]

Answer:

The probability that the average time 100 random students on campus will spend more than 5 hours on the internet is 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that . At Johnson University, the mean time is 5 hrs with a standard deviation of 1.2 hrs.

Mean = \mu = 5 hours

Standard deviation = \sigma = 1.2 hours

We are supposed to find the probability that the average time 100 random students on campus will spend more than 5 hours on the internet i.e. P(X>5)

Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Z=\frac{5-5}{1.2}

Z=0

P(X>5)=1-P(X<5)=1-P(Z<0)=1-0.5=0.5

Hence the probability that the average time 100 random students on campus will spend more than 5 hours on the internet is 0.5

at a farm the ratio of cows to horses was 7:2 if there were 21 cows at the farm how many horses were there
allochka39001 [22]
6

Ratio can be rate but rate can never be ratio. In essence, rate is comparison between ratios.  While ratio is comparison between two or more numbers. Further, ratio on one hand, involves numbers either in amount, size, measurement, degrees, percentages or fractions with the absence of specific unit of measurement. On the contrary, rate is comparing quantities, amounts or unit of events happened expressed in a specific measurement or expressed under time. Take for instance, an example, Joe eats 2 while John eats 4 meals in a day. The ratio can be Joe: John, 2:4 meals. While the rate, is Joe eats 2 meals/day and John 4 meals/day.
