A man walks along a straight path at a speed of 4 ft/s. A searchlight is located on the ground 20 ft from the path and is kept focused on the man. At what rate is the searchlight rotating when the man is 15 ft from the point on the path closest to the searchlight

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.128rad/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the between the man and the point on the path

θ = the angle

dx/dt = 4 ft/s

dθ/dt = rate is the searchlight rotating when the man is 15 ft from the point on the path closest to the searchlight

tan θ = x/20 ft

Cross Multiply

20tan θ = x

dx/dt = 20sec² θ dθ/dt

dθ/dt = 1/20 × cos² θ dx/dt

dθ/dt= 1/20 × cos² θ × 4

dθ/dt = 1/5 × cos² θ

Note : cos θ = 4/5

dθ/dt = 1/5 × (4/5)²

dθ/dt = 16/125

dθ/dt = 0.128rad/sec

Everglades National Park is 225 mi long. What scale is needed to draw a map of Everglades National Park that is 10 in. long?


A. 1 in. = 22.5 mi

B. 10 in. = 225 mi

C. 1 in. = 0.04 mi

D. 10 in. = 22.5 mi

Answers

Answer:

A. 1 in. = 22.5 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 22.5 x 10 = 225, we can conclude that this will fit the scale needed. B. is incorrect because it is simply illogical in context with a scale and the question. C. is incorrect since 10 x 0.04 is 0.4, which does not equal 10. D. is incorrect since we need the scale to add up to equal 225 mi, not 22.5.

A single lottery ticket costs $2. Compute the Expected Value, to you, if you purchase 10,000 lottery tickets. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
Answer: $

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The order of the numbers doesn't matter, so we'll use combinations instead of permutations.  The number of combinations is:

₄₅C₈ = 215,553,195

So the probability of a ticket having the winning combination is 1 / 215,553,195.

The expected value to the state is:

E(X) = 10,000 (1) ($2) + 10,000 (1 / 215,553,195) (-$1,000,000)

E(X) = $19954

The expected value to you is:

E(X) = 10,000 (1) (-$2) + 10,000 (1 / 215,553,195) ($1,000,000)

E(X) = -$19954

Answer:

[tex]10^3=1,000[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression 10=1,000 is obviously false, but we can make it true by rewriting it with an exponent.

Note that 1,000=10*10*10

Or, equivalently:

[tex]1,000=10^3[/tex]

Thus, if we modify the original false expression and add an exponent 3 to the base 10, then it would be true:

Original:

10=1,000 => false

Rewritten true:

the half life of c14 is 5730 years. Suppose that wood found at an archeological excavation site contains about 35% as much C14 as does living plant material. Determine when the wood was cut

Answers

Answer:

The wood was cut approximately 8679 years ago.

Step-by-step explanation:

At first we assume that examination occured in 2020. The decay of radioactive isotopes are represented by the following ordinary differential equation:

[tex]\frac{dm}{dt} = -\frac{m}{\tau}[/tex] (Eq. 1)

Where:

[tex]\frac{dm}{dt}[/tex] - First derivative of mass in time, measured in miligrams per year.

[tex]\tau[/tex] - Time constant, measured in years.

[tex]m[/tex] - Mass of the radioactive isotope, measured in miligrams.

Now we obtain the solution of this differential equation:

[tex]\int {\frac{dm}{m} } = -\frac{1}{\tau}\int dt[/tex]

[tex]\ln m = -\frac{1}{\tau} + C[/tex]

[tex]m(t) = m_{o}\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }[/tex] (Eq. 2)

Where:

[tex]m_{o}[/tex] - Initial mass of isotope, measured in miligrams.

[tex]t[/tex] - Time, measured in years.

And time is cleared within the equation:

[tex]t = -\tau \cdot \ln \left[\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} \right][/tex]

Then, time constant can be found as a function of half-life:

[tex]\tau = \frac{t_{1/2}}{\ln 2}[/tex] (Eq. 3)

If we know that [tex]t_{1/2} = 5730\,yr[/tex] and [tex]\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} = 0.35[/tex], then:

[tex]\tau = \frac{5730\,yr}{\ln 2}[/tex]

[tex]\tau \approx 8266.643\,yr[/tex]

[tex]t = -(8266.643\,yr)\cdot \ln 0.35[/tex]

[tex]t \approx 8678.505\,yr[/tex]

The perimeter of a rectangular outdoor patio is 66 ft. The length is 3 ft greater than the width. What are the dimensions of the patio?

Answers

Answer:

width = 15 ft

length = 18 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

lets assume the width is w, and length is l.

For the first equation, we all know that a rectangle is 2 widths and 2 lengths added up, which in "math" language looks like this:

2w+2l= 66

for the second equation, the problem says that the length is 3 ft greater than the width. From there, we can derive the equation:

w+3 = l

Now you can substitute one of the variables, length or width, but it is easier to do length. The equation ends up being:

2(w+3) + 2w = 66

Distributive property:

2w+6+2w = 66

which is equal to:

4w+6 = 66

which finally is:

w=15 ft.

Now that we know the width, we can just add 3 to the width to get the length, according to the problem. You get:

L = 18 ft.
