Imagine that a traffic intersection has a stop light that repeatedly cycles through the normal sequence of traffic signals (gree

n light, yellow light, and red light). In each cycle the stop light is green for 30 s, yellow for 3 s, and red for 50 s. Assume that cars arrive at the intersection uniformly, which means that in any one interval of time, approximately the same number of cars arrive at the intersection at any other time interval of equal length. Determine the probability that a car arrives at the intersection while the stop light is yellow. Give your answer as a percentage precise to two decimal places.

Answer:

3.61%

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the statistics we have to realize that there are 3 options.

green 30s

yellow 3s

red 50s

As each color does not have the same time, we will take the seconds to solve it

first we calculate all the seconds of a cycle

30s + 3s +50s = 83s

the car that arrives will always arrive in some second of those 83 seconds

now of those 83 seconds only 3 seconds the traffic light will be yellow

we make the events that meet the condition on the possible

3s/83s = 3/83

to express it as a percentage, we divide it by 83 and multiply it by 100

100*(3/83)/83 = 3.614457831%

we have to round with two decimal

3.61%

<u>Question 1 solution:</u>
You have two unknowns here:

Let the Water current speed = W

Let Rita's average speed = R

We are given <em>two </em>situations, where we can form <em>two equations</em>, and therefore solve for the <em>two unknowns, W, R</em>:

Part 1)  W→ , R←(against current, upstream) 
If Rita is paddling at 2mi/hr against the current, this means that the current is trying to slow her down. If you look at the direction of the water, it is "opposing" Rita, it is "opposite", therefore, our equation must have a negative sign for water<span>:  

</span>R–W=2  - equation 1

Part 2)  W→ , R<span>→</span>(with current)
Therefore, R+W=3  - equation 2

From equation 1, W=R-2, 
Substitute into equation 2.
R+(R–2)=3
2R=5
R=5/2mi/hr

So when W=0 (still), R=5/2mi/hr

Finding the water speed using the same rearranging and substituting process:

1...               R=2+W
2...  (2+W)+W=3
                 2W=1
                   W=1/2mi/hr

Help please 1. Describe the transformations necessary to transform the graph of
natta225 [31]

Here are all the steps, and what they do:

STEP 1: HORIZONTAL TRANSLATION

We transform

x^2\mapsto (x-1)^2

The general transformation is

f(x)\mapsto f(x+k)

These transformations translate the graph horizontally, k units to the left if k>0, k units to the right if k<0.

In this case, k = -1, so we translate the original graph 1 unit to the right.

STEP 2: VERTICAL STRETCH

We transform

(x-1)^2\mapsto 3(x-1)^2

The general transformation is

f(x)\mapsto kf(x)

These transformations stretch the graph vertically. The graph expands if |k|>1, while it shrinks if 0<|k|<1. If k is negative, we also reflect the graph with respect to the x axis.

In this case, k = 3, so we stretch the graph vertically by a factor 3.

STEP 3: VERTICAL TRANSLATION

We transform

3(x-1)^2\mapsto 3(x-1)^2+4

The general transformation is

f(x)\mapsto f(x)+k

These transformations translate the graph vertically, k units up if k>0, k units down if k<0.

In this case, k = 4, so we translate the graph 4 units up.

So, we start from the original graph of f(x)=x^2 and we:

  • Translate it 1 unit to the right
  • Stretch it vertically by a factor 3
  • Translate it 4 units up

(the order is important!)

to get the graph of g(x)=3(x-1)^2+4

The average income, I, in dollars, of a lawyer with an age of x years is modeled with the following function:
Alinara [238K]
The answer is 37 years old.

I = -425x² + 45500x -650000
I = 450000

-425x² + 45500x -650000 = 450000
-425x² + 45500x - 650000 - 450000 = 0
-425x² + 45500x - 1100000 = 0

Divide all factors by 25:
- 17x² + 1820x - 44000 = 0

This is quadratic equation (ax² + bx + c = 0)
x_{1,2} = \frac{-b+/- \sqrt{ b^{2}-4ac } }{2a} = \frac{-1820+/- \sqrt{ 1820^{2}-4*(-17)*(-44000) } }{2*(-17)} = \\  \\ = \frac{-1820+/- \sqrt{3312400-2992000 } }{-34} = \frac{-1820+/- \sqrt{320400} }{-34} =\frac{-1820+/- 566}{-34}  \\  \\ &#10;x_1= \frac{-1820+ 566}{-34}= -37 \\  \\ &#10;x_2 = \frac{-1820- 566}{-34}=70

Since, the youngest age is needed, the correct answer is x = 37
