If the rate of the current was 3 kilometers per hour, Christine's speed in still water is 5 kilometers per hour.

Let's start by assuming that Christine's speed in still water is x kilometers per hour. We know that the current is flowing at a rate of 3 kilometers per hour.

When Christine is swimming against the current, her effective speed is reduced by the speed of the current, so her speed is (x-3) kilometers per hour. If it takes her the same amount of time to swim 2 kilometers against the current as it does to swim 8 kilometers with the current, we can set up an equation:

time to swim 2 km against current = time to swim 8 km with current

We can use the formula distance = speed x time to express the distance that Christine covers in each scenario. The distance she covers against the current is 2 kilometers, and the distance she covers with the current is 8 kilometers. So our equation becomes:

2 / (x - 3) = 8 / (x + 3)

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and simplify:

2(x + 3) = 8(x - 3)

2x + 6 = 8x - 24

6x = 30

x = 5

The probability that the pitcher gave up at most 2 base hits in the game is approximately 0.53.

What is probability?

Probability is a branch of mathematics in which the chances of experiments occurring are calculated.

Let X be the number of base hits given up in 120 pitches. Then X follows a binomial distribution with parameters n = 120 (number of trials) and p = 1/15 (probability of success in each trial).

The probability of giving up at most 2 base hits can be calculated as follows:

P(X ≤ 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

Using the binomial probability formula, we have:

P(X = k) = (n choose k) * p^k * (1 - p)^(n - k)

where (n choose k) is the binomial coefficient, which gives the number of ways to choose k successes from n trials.

Plugging in the values, we get:

P(X = 0) = (120 choose 0) * (1/15)^0 * (14/15)^120 ≈ 0.028

P(X = 1) = (120 choose 1) * (1/15)^1 * (14/15)^119 ≈ 0.17

P(X = 2) = (120 choose 2) * (1/15)^2 * (14/15)^118 ≈ 0.33

Therefore,

P(X ≤ 2) = 0.028 + 0.17 + 0.33 ≈ 0.53

The decay factor in the equation y=41(0.92)^t is the value of (0.92) raised to the power of t.

In this case, the base of the exponential function is 0.92, which is less than 1. This means that as t increases, the value of (0.92)^t decreases exponentially, leading to a decay in the value of y. The decay factor is the factor by which the value of y decreases each year.

In this case, the decay factor is 0.92, which means that the value of the car decreases by 8% each year. This is because (0.92) x 100% = 92%, so the value of the car decreases to 92% of its previous value each year.

The question is incomplete and the complete question is shown in the attached picture.

The thermometer reads -10 degrees Celsius, and the temperature drops by 10 degrees Celsius. As a result, the new thermometer reading will be -20 degrees Celsius.

If the temperature drops by 10 degrees Celsius and the initial reading on the thermometer is -10 degrees Celsius, we can calculate the new reading as follows:

New reading = Initial reading - Temperature drop

New reading = (-10) - 10

New reading = -20

Therefore, the new reading on the thermometer will be -20 degrees Celsius.

When we say the temperature drops by 10 degrees Celsius, we mean that the temperature decreases by 10 degrees Celsius from its initial value. In this case, the initial value is -10 degrees Celsius.

So, if the temperature drops by 10 degrees Celsius, we need to subtract 10 from the initial value to get the new temperature reading. This is because a decrease in temperature means the temperature value becomes lower.

The resulting new reading of -20 degrees Celsius is 10 degrees Celsius lower than the initial reading of -10 degrees Celsius. It indicates that the temperature has decreased further, and it is now even colder than before.

Answer:

Line A has a slope of -4

Line A and line B have the same slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Line A is in the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.  As we can see, -4 is m in line A so -4 is the slope of line A.

If we have two points on a line, we can find the slope using the slope formula

[tex]m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex], where x1 and y1 are one of the points and x2 and y2 come from the other point.

Thus, if we allow (-2, 1) to be x1 and y1 and (1, -11) to be x2 and y2,

[tex]m=\frac{-11-1}{1-(-2)}\\ m=-4[/tex]

Since the slope of Line B is -4, it has the same slope as line A

Answer:

The statement "The function is decreasing on the interval (0, ∞)" is true about h(x).

To see why, let's take the derivative of h(x) and examine its sign:

h(x) = -2√x

h'(x) = -2/(2√x) = -1/√x

Since √x is always positive, h'(x) is negative for all x > 0. This means that h(x) is decreasing on the interval (0, ∞).

Therefore, the correct answer is: The function is decreasing on the interval (0, ∞).

Using matrix inversion method and perimeter of rectangle, the dimension of the rectangle are 16cm and 7cm

Let the length of the rectangle be l and the width be w. We know that l - w = 3.5 and 2l + 2w = 67. We can rewrite these equations as a system of linear equations in matrix form:

[tex]$$\begin{bmatrix}1 & -1 \ 2 & 2\end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix}l \ w\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}3.5 \ 67/2\end{bmatrix}$$[/tex]

We can solve for [tex]$\begin{bmatrix}l \ w\end{bmatrix}$[/tex] by multiplying both sides of the equation by the inverse of the coefficient matrix:

[tex]$$\begin{bmatrix}l \ w\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}1 & -1 \ 2 & 2\end{bmatrix}^{-1} \begin{bmatrix}3.5 \ 67/2\end{bmatrix}$$[/tex]

To find the inverse of the coefficient matrix, we can use the following formula:

[tex]$$\begin{bmatrix}a & b \ c & d\end{bmatrix}^{-1} = \frac{1}{ad-bc} \begin{bmatrix}d & -b \ -c & a\end{bmatrix}$$[/tex]

Plugging in the values for our matrix, we get:

[tex]$$\begin{bmatrix}1 & -1 \ 2 & 2\end{bmatrix}^{-1} = \frac{1}{1 \cdot 2 - (-1) \cdot 2} \begin{bmatrix}2 & 1 \ -2 & 1\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}1/2 & 1/4 \ -1/2 & 1/4\end{bmatrix}$$[/tex]

Now we can substitute this matrix and the vector on the right-hand side of the equation into our formula to obtain the solution:

[tex]$$\begin{bmatrix}l \ w\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}1/2 & 1/4 \ -1/2 & 1/4\end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix}3.5 \ 67/2\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}16 \ 7\end{bmatrix}$$[/tex]

Answer:

The length of the shortest side is 3 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that the shortest side has a length of 3x, where x is a constant.

Then, the other sides would have lengths of 10x and 7x, respectively.

To check if this is a valid triangle, we need to make sure that the sum of the lengths of any two sides is greater than the length of the third side:

3x + 10x > 7x (sum of shortest and middle side is greater than longest side)

3x + 7x > 10x (sum of shortest and longest side is greater than middle side)

10x + 7x > 3x (sum of middle and longest side is greater than shortest side)

Simplifying these inequalities, we get:

13x > 7x

10x > 3x

17x > 0

All of these inequalities are true if x > 0, so our assumption is valid.

Therefore, the length of the shortest side is 3x. To find the value of x, we can set up the following equation based on the given ratio:

3x : 10x : 7x = 3 : 10 : 7

Simplifying this equation by dividing all sides by x, we get:

3 : 10 : 7 = 3 : 10 : 7

This is true, so any value of x will satisfy the given ratio.

However, to find the length of the shortest side, we can simply substitute x = 1 into our assumption:

Shortest side = 3x = 3(1) = 3

Therefore, the length of the shortest side is 3 units.

The required answers are a) 17.1 km b) 7.1 km, c) 18.6 km away from town A on a bearing of 293°.

To solve this problem, we can use vector addition to find the displacement vector from town A to the cyclist's destination.

a) To find how far east the cyclist's destination is from town A, we need to find the east component of the displacement vector. We can break down the displacement vector into its north and east components using trigonometry:

[tex]$$\text{East displacement} = 5\text{ km} + 10\text{ km}\cos(45^\circ) = 5\text{ km} + 10\text{ km}\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = 10\text{ km} + 5\sqrt{2}\text{ km} \approx 17.1\text{ km}$$[/tex]

So the cyclist's destination is approximately 17.1 km east of town A.

b) Similarly, to find how far north the cyclist's destination is from town A, we need to find the north component of the displacement vector:

[tex]$$\text{North displacement} = 10\text{ km}\sin(45^\circ) = 10\text{ km}\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = 5\sqrt{2}\text{ km} \approx 7.1\text{ km}$$[/tex]

So the cyclist's destination is approximately 7.1 km north of town A.

c) To find the distance and bearing of the cyclist's destination from town A, we can use the Pythagorean theorem and trigonometry. The displacement vector is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of length 17.1 km and 7.1 km, so its length is:

[tex]$$\text{Displacement} = \sqrt{(17.1\text{ km})^2 + (7.1\text{ km})^2} \approx 18.6\text{ km}$$[/tex]

To find the bearing of the displacement vector, we can use the inverse tangent function:

[tex]$$\text{Bearing} = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\text{East displacement}}{\text{North displacement}}\right) \approx 67^\circ$$[/tex]

However, this angle is measured clockwise from north, so we need to subtract it from 360° to get the bearing measured counterclockwise from north:

[tex]$$\text{Bearing} = 360^\circ - 67^\circ = 293^\circ$$[/tex]

So the cyclist's destination is approximately 18.6 km away from town A on a bearing of 293°.

Therefore, the values of a that make the expression true are approximately 0.378 and 14.121.

In mathematics, an expression is a combination of numbers, variables, and operations that represents a quantity or a mathematical relationship. Expressions can be simple or complex, and can involve arithmetic, algebraic, trigonometric, or other mathematical operations. Expressions can also include constants, which are fixed values that do not change. Expressions can be evaluated by substituting numerical values for the variables and performing the indicated operations.

Here,

To solve for the values of a that make the given expressions true, we need to isolate the variable a on one side of the equation. We can start by simplifying the left side of the equation:

1/2a - 5 1/2 = 5 - a

Multiplying both sides by 2a gives:

1 - 10a* 1/2 = 10a - 2a²

Simplifying the left side by multiplying both terms by 2:

2 - 20a = 10a - 2a²

Rearranging the terms gives a quadratic equation:

2a² - 30a + 2 = 0

We can solve for a by using the quadratic formula:

a = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a

where a = 2, b = -30, and c = 2.

Plugging in these values gives:

a = (30 ± √((-30)² - 4(2)(2))) / 4

a = (30 ± √(892)) / 4
