Train A departs from Point A with a velocity of 100 km/h, Train B departs from Point B with a velocity of 200 km/h, and the dist

ance between point A and B is 1200 km. How long will it take for the trains to meet?​

It would take 4 hours for both trains to meet.

Speed is the ratio of distance travelled to time taken. It is given by:

Speed = distance / time

Let t represent the time at which both trains meet, and d represent the distance covered by train A, hence:

For train A:

100 = d / t

t = d/100

For train B:

200 = (1200 - d) / t

t = (1200 - d) / 200

d/100 = (1200 - d)/200

2d = 1200 - d

3d = 1200

d = 400 km

t = 400 / 100 = 4 hours

It would take 4 hours for both trains to meet.

In traveling across flat land, you see a mountain directly in front of you. Its angle of elevation (to the peak) is 3.5°. After
yaroslaw [1]

The height of the mountain is 0. 2 km

<h3>How to determine the height</h3>

First, let's find the hypotenuse of the second triangle

Using the tangent identity, we have;

tan θ = opposite/ adjacent

tan 3. 5 = x/ 19

cross multiply

x = tan 3 . 5 × 19

x = 0. 061 × 19

x = 1. 16 km

Now, we have the hypotenuse side of the second triangle and we need to find the opposite side which is the height of the mountain

Using the sine identity:

sin 9 = y/ 1.16

cross multiply

y = sin 9 × 1. 16

y = 0. 1564 × 1. 16

y = 0. 18 km

y = 0. 2 km in one decimal place

Thus, the height of the mountain is 0. 2 km

Suppose we play the following game based on tosses of a fair coin. You pay me $10, and I agree to pay you $n 2 if heads comes up
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

In the long run, ou expect to  lose $4 per game

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we play the following game based on tosses of a fair coin. You pay me $10, and I agree to pay you $n^2 if heads comes up first on the nth toss.

Assuming X be the toss on which the first head appears.

then the geometric distribution of X is:

X \sim geom(p = 1/2)

the probability function P can be computed as:

P (X = n) = p(1-p)^{n-1}

where

n = 1,2,3 ...

If I agree to pay you $n^2 if heads comes up first on the nth toss.

this implies that , you need to be paid \sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n)

\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) = E(X^2)

\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) =Var (X) + [E(X)]^2

\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) = \dfrac{1-p}{p^2}+(\dfrac{1}{p})^2        ∵  X \sim geom(p = 1/2)

\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) = \dfrac{1-p}{p^2}+\dfrac{1}{p^2}

\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) = \dfrac{1-p+1}{p^2}

\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) = \dfrac{2-p}{p^2}

\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) = \dfrac{2-\dfrac{1}{2}}{(\dfrac{1}{2})^2}

\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) =\dfrac{ \dfrac{4-1}{2} }{{\dfrac{1}{4}}}

\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) =\dfrac{ \dfrac{3}{2} }{{\dfrac{1}{4}}}

\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) =\dfrac{ 1.5}{{0.25}}

\sum \limits ^{n}_{i=1} n^2 P(X=n) =6

Given that during the game play, You pay me $10 , the calculated expected loss = $10 - $6

= $4

∴

In the long run, you expect to  lose $4 per game

Solve the triangle. Round your answers to the nearest tenth.
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

  B.  m∠B = 118°, a = 17, c = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer choices all agree on the values of ∠B and c, so we only need to compute the value of side a.

We can verify angle B is ...

  ∠B = 180° -30° -32° = 118°

By the law of sines, ...

  a/sin(A) = b/sin(B)

Multiplying by sin(A), we get ...

  a = b·sin(A)/sin(B) = 30·sin(30°)/sin(118°) ≈ 16.98855

  a ≈ 17.0 . . . units . . . . . matches choice B

__

If you like, you can also verify side c:

  c = b·sin(C)/sin(B) = 30·sin(32°)/sin(118°) ≈ 18.00512

  c ≈ 18.0 . . . units

Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (–1.75, 14.5) and (–1, 4.4). Round to the nearest hundredth if
Feliz [49]

For this case we have that by definition, the slope of a line is given by:

m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}}

Two points are needed through which the line passes:

(x_ {1}, y_ {1}): (- 1.75; 14.5)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}}: (- 1; 4.4)

Substituting:m = \frac {4.4-14.5} {- 1 - (- 1.75)}\\m = \frac {-10.1} {0.75}\\m = -13.46666666

Rounding:

m = -13.47

Answer:

m = -13.47
