In a population of elderly war veterans, the probability that a veteran will have been exposed to agent orange (a militarized herbicide) and develop cancer is 0.35. The probability is 0.75 that a veteran exposed to agent orange will develop cancer. The average age of the veterans is 67 years old. What is the probability that a random veteran will have been exposed to agent orange

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Probability that a random veteran will have been exposed to agent orange is 0.4667

Step-by-step explanation:

P(exposed to agent cancer and develop cancer) = 0.35

P(develop cancer given he is already exposed to agent orange) = 0.75

P(is exposed to agent cancer) = ?

 

P(A given B) = P(A and B)/P(B),

P(develop cancer | exposed to agent orange)  = P(develop cancer and exposed to agent orange)/P(exposed to agent orange)  

0.75 = 0.35/P(exposed to agent orange)  

P(exposed to agent orange) = 0.35/0.75

P(exposed to agent orange) = 0.4667

Three students have proposed these ways to describe when two lines l and m are perpendicular: Read screenshot for info. Explain why each of these definitions is correct. What are some of the advantages and disadvantages with each?

Answers

Answer:

a. The definition that l and m are perpendicular if they meet at one point and one of the angles at their point of intersection is a right angle

The above definition is correct because, where two lines intersect, forming an angle of 90° with each other, then, by definition of perpendicular lines, the direction of one line is perpendicular to the other

The advantage of the above definition are;

1) It is simply stated and therefore, will be easier to understand

2) It can be easily used to test the perpendicular relationship between two objects

Disadvantages

1) It gives limited description of the other characteristics of the line

2) It does not state if the lines extend past each other after the point at which they cross

b. For the definition, l and m are perpendicular if they meet at one point and all four of the angles at their point of intersection are right angles

The above definition is correct as it meets the condition of two lines to be perpendicular to each other

Advantages

1) It clearly describes the relationship between the lines and their appearance

2) It indicates that the sun of angles at the point of intersection is 360°

Disadvantage

1) The resulting detail of the four angles may lead to ambiguity in the case where the two lines do not cross and there are only three angles formed at the point

c. For the definition, l and m are perpendicular if they meet at one point and reflection about l maps m to itself

The above definition is correct as it indicates the requirement for the continuity of the definition of the on line after crossing the other line

Advantages

1) It defines the condition of perpendicularity without the requirement for measuring the angles

2) It states the symmetrical condition of perpendicular lines about the vertical axis

Disadvantages

1) It requires further clarification in order to be related to the original definition of perpendicular lines being lines that are at right angle to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

A certain field is a rectangle with a perimeter of
846
feet. The length is
159
feet more than the width. Find the width and length of the rectangular field.

Answers

Answer:

Width = 132 feet, Length = 291 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter (P) = 846

let width(W) = x

length(L) = 159 feet more than width = 159 + W= 159 + x

P of a rectangle = 2*(L + W)

846 = 2*((159 + x) + x)

divide both side by 2

423 = (159 + x) + x

423 = 159 + 2x

rearranging

2x + 159 = 423

2x = 423 -159

2x = 264

divide both sides by 2

x = 132 feet

recall W = x and L = 159 + x

W = 132 feet

L = 159 + 132 = 291 feet

When using the power rule, the original coefficient:__________a) Is multiplied by the original exponent.b) Only changes if the function is in terms of x.c) Is ignored

Answers

Answer:

a) Is multiplied by the original exponent.

Step-by-step explanation:

the power rule works like this:

you want to find the derivative of ax ⁿ

where n is the exponent and a is the coefficient

the derivative would equal (n ⋅ a)xⁿ⁻¹

e.g. you want to find the derivatives of 5x⁴

f'(x) = (4 ⋅ 5)x⁴⁻¹ = 20x³

f''(x) = (3 ⋅ 20)x³⁻¹ = 60x²

f'''(x) = (2 ⋅ 60)x²⁻¹ = 120x

f''''(x) = (1 ⋅ 120)x¹⁻¹ = 120

is the population of cats on another island whose cat population was originally 11,000 but is doubling every 14 months. (t is time in months.)

Answers

Answer:

P = 11,000(2)^t/11

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is given as:

P = Po(2)^t/d

Where

Po = Initial population = 11,000

t = time in months

d = doubling time = 11 months

Hence,

P = 11,000(2)^t/11

Hence, the population of cats is given by the equation:

P = 11,000(2)^t/11

Car A is moving twice as fast as car B. Car B starts 174. Meters in front of car A. If car A passes car B in 27 seconds, how fast is car B going.

Answers

Answer: The speed of car B is 6.44 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define:

Sa = Speed of car A.

Sb = Speed of car B.

I assume that at t = 0s, the position of car A is 0m (then at t = 0s, the position of car B is 174m)

Then we can write the positions of each car as:

Pa(t) = Sa*t

Pb(t) = Sb*t + 174m.

We also know that Sa = 2*Sb.

And we know that at t= 27s, car A passes car B.

Then at t = 27s, the positions of both cars must be the same:

Pa(27s) = Pb(27s)

Sa*27s = Sb*27s + 174m.

Now we can replace Sa by 2*Sb (from the above equation)

2*Sb*27s = Sb*27s + 174m

Now we can solve this for Sb.

2*Sb*27s - Sb*27s = 174m

Sb*27s = 174m

Sb = 174m/27s = 6.44m/s.

The speed of car B is 6.44 m/s

Find the equation of the line with slope −2 and that contains the point (−9,−7). Write the equation in the form y=mx+b and identify m and b.

Answers

Answer:

m = -2 which is the slope

b = 2 which is the intercept of the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the line must pass through the following points (-9, -7). These two points are any two of the numerous points that pass through the straight line.  We can designate variables to each of these points as shown below

Let us take our [tex]y_1 = -7[/tex] and [tex]x_1 = -9[/tex]

Given the slope as [tex](y-y_1)/(x-x_1)=-2[/tex]

[tex](y--7)/(x--9) = -2[/tex]

[tex](y +7)/(x+9) =-2[/tex]

[tex]y +7 = -2(x+9)[/tex]

[tex]y =-2x+2[/tex]

We are given the form:  y=mx+b.

we can compare this with our equation for the line. [tex]y =-2x+2[/tex]

We can see that m = -2 which is the slope and b = 2 which is the intercept of the line.

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle g = \frac{2(h-vt)}{t^2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation:

[tex]\displaystyle h = vt+\frac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]

And we want to solve for g, the acceleration due to gravity.

Proceed with algebra:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} h & = vt + \frac{1}{2}gt^2 \\ \\ h - vt & = \frac{1}{2}gt^2 \\ \\ gt^2& = 2(h-vt) \\ \\ g &= \frac{2(h-vt)}{t^2}\end{aligned}[/tex]

In conclusion:

[tex]\displaystyle g = \frac{2(h-vt)}{t^2}[/tex]

Answer:

g = [tex]\frac{2(h - vt)}{t^2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

h = vt + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] gt² ( subtract vt from both sides )

h - vt = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] gt² ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

2(h - vt) = gt² ( divide both sides by t² )

[tex]\frac{2(h-vt)}{t^2}[/tex] = g

An airplane flies at an altitude of 14,690 ft while a submarine is submerged at a depth of 521 feet below the surface of the ocean.. What is the difference between these two elevations? Write an algebraic expression for the given applied problem. Simplified the algebraic expression. In the context of the applied problem, explain what your simplified algebraic expression represents.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]d_{T} = d_{A}-d_{S}[/tex]. The algebraic equation represents the distance of the airplane with respecto to the submarine. The distance between the two elevations is 15211 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be [tex]d[/tex] the distance between a vehicle and sea level, [tex]d > 0[/tex] when vehicle is above sea level, otherwise is below sea level. The difference between airplane and submarine ([tex]d_{T}[/tex]), measured in feet, is obtained by the following expression, that is:

[tex]d_{T} = d_{A}-d_{S}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]d_{A}[/tex] - Distance of airplane with respect to sea level, measured in meters.

[tex]d_{S}[/tex] - Distance of submarine with respect to sea level, measured in meters.

If we know that [tex]d_{A} = 14690\,ft[/tex] and [tex]d_{S} = -521\,ft[/tex], then:

[tex]d_{T} = 14690\,ft - (-521\,ft)[/tex]

[tex]d_{T} = 15211\,ft.[/tex]

The algebraic equation represents the distance of the airplane with respecto to the submarine. The distance between the two elevations is 15211 feet.

The algebraic equation represents the distance of the airplane with respect to the submarine is,

[tex]\rm The \ difference \ between \ both \ elevation = x_a- x_s[/tex]

And the distance between the two elevations is 15,211 feet.

Given that,

An airplane flies at an altitude of 14,690 ft,

While a submarine is submerged at a depth of 521 feet below the surface of the ocean.

We have to determine,

What is the difference between these two elevations?

According to the question,

Let, x be the distance between a vehicle and sea level when the vehicle is above sea level, otherwise is below sea level.

The difference between an airplane [tex]\rm x_a[/tex] and [tex]\rm x_s[/tex] a submarine, measured in feet, is obtained by the following expression, that is:

[tex]\rm The \ difference \ between \ both \ elevation = x_a- x_s[/tex]

Where [tex]\rm x_a[/tex] represents the distance of airplane with respect to sea levels.

And [tex]\rm x_s[/tex] represent the distance of the submarine with respect to sea levels.

Submerged at a depth of 521 feet below the surface of the ocean,

[tex]\rm x_s = -521 \ feet[/tex]

Therefore,

The difference between an airplane [tex]\rm x_a[/tex] and [tex]\rm x_s[/tex] a submarine is,

[tex]\rm The \ difference \ between \ both \ elevation = x_a- x_s\\\\ The \ difference \ between \ both \ elevation = 14,690-(-521)\\\\\rm The \ difference \ between \ both \ elevation = 15,211 \ feet[/tex]

Hence, The difference between these two elevations is 15,211 feet.

Use the rational root theorem to find the possible roots:  ±1, ±2, ±3, ±6

Use Long division, Synthetic division, or plug them into the equation to see which root(s) work (result in a remainder of zero).

I will use Synthetic division.  Let's try x = 1

1 |  1    2    -5     -6

  |  ↓    1      3     -2      

     1     3    -2    -8   ← remainder ≠ 0 so x = 1 is NOT a root

 Let's try x = -1

- 1 |  1     2    -5    -6

   |  ↓    -1     -1     6      

      1     1     -6     0   ← remainder = 0 so x = -1 is a root!

The coefficients of the reduced polynomial are: 1, 1, -6  -->   x² + x - 6

Factor: x² + x - 6

          (x + 3)(x - 2)

Set those factors equal to zero to solve for x:

x + 3 = 0   --> x = -3

x - 2 = 0    --> x = 2

Using Synthetic Division and Factoring the reduced polynomial, we found

x = -1, -3, and 2
