Answer:

65 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

using the Pythagorean theorem:

56²+ 33² = d²

d² = 4225

d = 65 miles

Answer

a) C

b) B

c) C, E

d) 15.5

e) 0.7

f) 67.7

Step-by-step explanation

a) A linear equation can be written as $y=mx+c$ where $m$ is the slope and $c$ is the intercept on the $y$ -axis. The slope describes how $y$ changes when $x$ changes. A negative value means the it is a decreasing change. In our case, $y$ is $A$ and $x$ is $t$ . Thus, the slope of the equation is $m=-0.062$ . This means that the area of glacier is decreasing by $0.062 \text{km}{}^2 = 62000 \text{m}{}^2$ every year since 2000.

b) The $A$ -intercept (= 16.2 $\text{km}{}^2$ ) represents the area covered when $t=0$ . But $t=0$ starting from year 2000. This intercept then represents the area covered by glacier in the year 2000. Therefore, the area covered by glacier in 2000 was 16.2 $\text{km}{}^2$ .

c) $A=f(t)$ means the area covered after year 2000. Setting it to 12 means the area covered after $t$ years is 12 $\text{km}{}^2$ ). $t$ is therefore the number of years since 2000 that the total area covered will be 12 $\text{km}{}^2$ ).

d) $f(12)=16.2−0.062\times12 =16.2-0.744 = =15.456 15.5 \text{km}{}^2$ to 1 decimal place.

e) The term involving $t$ represents the disappearing area. In 12 years, the disappeared area is $0.062\times12=0.744 =0.7 \text{km}{}^2$ to 1 decimal place.

f) $f(t)=16.2−0.062t =12$

$0.062t = 16.2-12 = 4.2$

$t = \dfrac{4.2}{0.062}=67.7419\ldots =67.7$ years to 1 decimal place.

Q3. A bag contains 7 red balls and 3 green balls. A ball is taken out replaced.

ycow [4]

Part (a)

There are 7 red out of 7+3 = 10 total

<h3>Answer: 7/10</h3>

==========================================================

Part (b)

We have 3 green out of 10 total

<h3>Answer: 3/10</h3>

==========================================================

Part (c)

3/10 is the probability of getting green on any selection. This is because we put the first selection back (or it is replaced with an identical copy)

So (3/10)*(3/10) = 9/100 is the probability of getting two green in a row.

<h3>Answer: 9/100</h3>

==========================================================

Part (d)

Similar to part (c) we have 7/10 as the probability of getting red on each independent selection.

(7/10)*(7/10) = 49/100

<h3>Answer: 49/100</h3>

==========================================================

Part (e)

7/10 is the probability of getting red and 3/10 is the probability of getting green. Each selection is independent of any others.

(7/10)*(3/10) = 21/100

<h3>Answer: 21/100</h3>

==========================================================

Part (f)

We have the exact same set up as part (e). Notice how (7/10)*(3/10) is the same as (3/10)*(7/10).

<h3>Answer: 21/100</h3>
