Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

  In this case, we have a descent of 2,125 feet (initial height of 5,439 - ending height of 3,314). Since it took 34 minutes for the balloon to descend this distance, we divide the descent by the time (2,125/34). This gives us a rate of 62.5 feet per minute.  

  That means that the balloon traveled downward 62.5 feet every minute.

Mrs. Simpson drove 105 miles in 2 1/2 hours. What was Mrs. Simpson's average speed in miles per hour?
harkovskaia [24]
105 m = 2.5 h
 
x miles = 1 hour

You cross multiply since it's a proportion:
2.5 * x
105 * 1

=

2.5x = 105

Then you divide everything by 2.5

The answer is 42

The percent of concentration of a certain drug in the bloodstream x hours after the drug is administered is given by K(x) 5x/x^2
Olegator [25]

Given :

The percent of concentration of a certain drug in the bloodstream x hours after the drug is administered is given by K(x) = \dfrac{5x}{x^2+9}.

To Find :

Find the time at which the concentration is a maximum. b. Find the maximum concentration.

Solution :

For maximum value of x, K'(x) = 0.

K'(x) = \dfrac{5(x^2+9)- 5x(2x)}{(x^2+9)^2}=0\\\\5x^2+45-10x^2=0\\\\5x^2 = 45\\\\x = \pm 3

Since, time cannot be negative, so ignoring x = -3 .

Putting value of x = 3, we get, K(3) = 15/( 9 + 9) = 5/6

Therefore, maximum value drug in bloodstream is 5/6 at time x = 3 units.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Given that a randomly chosen quadrilateral has four right angles, what is the probability that the quadrilateral also has four e
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the question on conditional probability

Let A - the quadrilateral has four right angles

B - the quadrilateral has four equal side lengths

Required probability = P(B/A)

By definition of continuous probability

P(B/A) = \frac{P(AB)}{P(A)}

P(AB) = \frac{2}{20} =0.10

P(A) = \frac{8}{20} =0.4

Hence given probability = \frac{0.1}{0.4} =0.25
