A small radio transmitter broadcasts in a 31 mile radius. If you drive along a straight line from a city 38 miles north of the transmitter to a second city 36 miles east of the transmitter, during how much of the drive will you pick up a signal from the transmitter? Hint: assume that the transmitter is at the origin. Write the equations of the line and circle.

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  63.7% or 33.35 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The hint suggests that we find the points where the drive begins and ends picking up the transmitter. We suspect both of those points will have irrational coordinates, so finding the distance between them will involve dealing with squares and roots of irrational numbers. We want to see if there's an easier way.

The distance from the transmitter to the path being driven can be found using the "distance to a line" formula. First, we need the equation of the line in general form. In intercept form, it is ...

  y/38 +x/36 = 1

  19x +18y -684 = 0 . . . . . . multiply by LCM(36, 38) and subtract that amount

Then the distance from the origin to the line is ...

  d = |19·0 +18·0 -684|/√(19² +18²) = 685/√685 ≈ 26.1243

The distance (x) along the line from the point where the transmitter is first picked up until the point of closest approach can be found from the Pythagorean theorem:

  x² + (26.1243)² = 31²

  x² = 31² -(684/√685)² = 190429/685

  x ≈  16.6733

The driving distance for which the transmitter is picked up is twice this, so is ...

  2x = 2(16.6733) ≈ 33.3466 . . . miles

The total drive length is also given by the Pythagorean theorem:

  drive length = √(36² +38²) = √2740 ≈ 52.3450 . . . miles

Then the fraction of the drive during which the signal is picked up is ...

  fraction = (33.3466 mi)/(52.3450 mi) ≈ 0.6371 ≈ 63.7%

__

The signal is picked up for 33.35 miles, about 63.7% of the drive.

______

The intercept-form equation for a line is ...

  x/(x-intercept) +y/(y-intercept) = 1

The distance from (x, y) to line ax+by+c=0 is given by ...

  d = |ax+by+c|/√(a²+b²)

The Pythagorean theorem relates legs a, b and hypotenuse c of a right triangle this way:

  c² = a² +b²

P(A and B)=P(A)•P(B) is used when two events are used when two events are

Answers

Answer:

Independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent events:

Two events, A and B, are said to be independent if the probability of both happening is the same as the multiplication of the probabilities of each happening, that is:

[tex]P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B)[/tex]

Thus, P(A and B)=P(A)•P(B) is used when two events are independent.

How many small cubes, with a side length of 1/2 cm, will fill the larger rectangular prism below?

Answers

Answer:

15 cubes

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism is given as :

V = Lenght * width * height

V = 3/2 * 5/2 * 1/2

V = 15 / 8 cm³

Volume of a cube = a³

Where, a = side length of cube

a = 1/2 cm

V = a³ = (1/2)³ = (1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2) = 1/8

Volume of pyramid / volume of cube

15 / 8 ÷ 1 / 8

15 / 8 * 8 / 1

= 15

Which pair of functions are inverses of each other?
Wanting to make sure of answers in this pretest

Answers

Answer:

The only pair of functions that are inverses of each other are the ones for option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two functions, f(x) and g(x), are inverses if and only if:

f( g(x) ) = x

g( f(x) ) = x

So we need to check that with all the given options.

A)

[tex]f(x) = \frac{x}{7} + 10 \\g(x) = 7*x - 10\\[/tex]

then:

[tex]f(g(x)) = \frac{7*x + 10}{7} -10 = x + \frac{10}{7} - 10[/tex]

This is clearly different than x, so f(x) and g(x) are not inverses.

B)

[tex]f(x) = \sqrt[3]{11*x} \\g(x) = (\frac{x}{11} )^3[/tex]

Then:

[tex]f(g(x)) = \sqrt[3]{11*(\frac{x}{11})^3 } = \sqrt[3]{\frac{x^3}{11^2} } = \frac{x}{11^{2/3}}[/tex]

This is different than x, so f(x) and g(x) are not inverses.

C)

[tex]f(x) = \frac{7}{x} -2 \\g(x) = \frac{x + 2}{7}[/tex]

Then:

[tex]f(g(x)) = \frac{7}{\frac{x + 2}{7} } - 2 = \frac{7*7}{x + 2} - 2[/tex]

Obviously, this is different than x, so f(x) and g(x) are not inverses.

D)

[tex]f(x) = 9*x - 6\\g(x) = \frac{x + 6}{9}[/tex]

Then:

[tex]f(g(x)) = 9*\frac{x + 6}{9} - 6 = x + 6 - 6 = x\\g(f(x)) = \frac{(9*x - 6) + 6}{9} = x[/tex]

In this case we can conclude that f(x) and g(x) are inverses of each other.

Prasha is going to throw the coin once.
(i) Whose results will give the better estimate for the probability that she will get Tails,
Stuart's or Maxine's?
You must give a reason for your answer.

Answers

Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Prasha's result is better as she tossed the coin the most times.

The result which gives a better estimate of obtaining tail is that which provides a greater probability, hence, Stuart's result is better.

Recall :

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Stuart's throw:

Number of tails = 7Number of throws = 10

P(Tail) = 7/10 = 0.7

Maxine's throw :

Number of throws = 50Number of tails = 30

P(Tail) = 30 / 50 = 0.6

The result with higher probability gives the better estimate of obtaining tail.

Therefore, Stuart's result will be a better estimate.

A distance of 400 km is represented in the map by 3 cm. What is the distance between two towns if they are 7.5 cm apart in the map?​

Answers

Answer:

The distance between the two towns is of 1000 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved by proportions, using a rule of three.

We have that:

3 cm represents a distance of 400 km.

What is the distance represented by 7.5 cm?

3 cm - 400 km

7.5 cm - x km

Applying cross multiplication:

[tex]3x = 400*7.5[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{400*7.5}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x = 1000[/tex]

The distance between the two towns is of 1000 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

7.43

Step-by-step explanation:

So lets go over a few things:

In decimal form, you start of in the tenths.

So in this case that is 4.

After tenths, is hundreths, thousandths, ten thousandths, etc.

Since hundreths comes after the tenths, that will be 2.

Any number 5 or greater will be rounded up, and any number below 5 is rounde down.

Now, to find if we raise or lower the hundreths(which is 2), we must see if the thousandth splace is above or lower than 5.

We can see that our thousandths is 8.

Since 8 is higher than 5, the 2 in our hundreths place will go up to 3.

So we get:

144+65=209

Answer:  174 square meters

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

How to get that answer:

We have a 12 by 12 square of area 12*12 = 144 square meters.

Then on top of this we have a triangle with base 12 and height 5, so its area is base*height/2 = 12*5/2 = 60/2 = 30 square meters

Overall, the two areas combine to 144+30 = 174 square meters

---------

Side notes:

The missing side of the triangle can be found through the pythagorean theorem. You could use the trapezoid area formula as an alternative path, instead of finding the area of each smaller piece.We can condense the unit "square meters" into "sq m" or "m^2".
