If the arrival of major road vehicles can be described by the poisson distribution, and the peak hour volume is 1000 veh/hr. the value of the critical gap is 4 seconds. the expected number of available gaps during the peak hour is equal to:

Answers

Answer 1
expected no. of vehicles per hour = 1000
expected no. of vehicles per 4 minute interval = 1000/(3600/4) = 10/9 = λ

Using the poisson distribution, probability that no vehicles within the 4 second interval
P(0)= λ ^0 e^(- λ )/ 0!
= (10/9)^0 e^(-10/9) / 1
= e^(-10/9)
= 0.3292 (approx.)

In an hour, there are n=3600/4=900 such intervals, each with probability of p=0.3292 occurring.

Applying binomial distribution,
expected number of gaps
=np
=900*0.3292
= 296.3

Answer: the expected number of gaps is 296 (to the nearest unit).


Note: in fact, the actual expected number will be higher because gaps do not line up at 4 second intervals.  If a vehicle passes at the 1 second of the interval, a gap can commence at the next second.  Therefore the expected value could/should be slightly higher.

Leo painted for 2/3 of an hour each day on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. How long did Leo paint this week

Answers

2/3 times 4/1 is 8/3 or 2 2/3 hours.

Leo painted for 2/3 of an hour each day on Monday, Tuesday, Thurday, and friday. Thus, the total time of the week for which he painted is 1.58% of the total time.

What is a fraction?

A fraction represents a part of a whole number or, more commonly, any number of equal parts. A fraction can be defined as the parts of a certain size, for example, one-half, eight-fifths, three-quarters, etc.

The time for which Leo painted in this week can be calculated as:

Leo painted 2/3 of an hour each day for monday, tuesday, thursday, and friday

Therefore, the time of painting in an hour = 40 minutes

2/3 × 60 = 120/ 3 = 40 minutes = 40 × 4 = 160 minutes

The number of minutes in a day,

1 day = 60 × 24 = 1,440 minutes

The number of minutes in seven days,

7 days = 1440 × 7 = 10,080 minutes

Therefore, the total time for which Leo painted = time for which he painted in minute divided by total time in minutes

Total time for which Leo painted = 160/ 1440 = 0.0158 or 1.58%

Therefore, total time for which he painted in this week is 0.0158 of total time

In an isometric transformation, the preimage and image must not change size. Therefore, the correct option is A.

In an isometric transformation, the preimage and image must not change size. This is because isometric transformations are shape-preserving transformations, meaning they maintain the distances and angles between points in figures. Examples of isometric transformations include rotations, reflections, and translations. During these transformations, the figures remain congruent with one another.Therefore, the correct answer is : A. change size .

line AB is parallel to line CD and line CD is perpendicular to line EF what can you conclude about AB and EF?

Answers

Since line AB and line CD are parallel, and line EF is perpendicular to line CD, line EF is also perpendicular to line AB.

Answer:
Line AB and line EF are perpendicular.

Hope this helps!
Final answer:

If line AB is parallel to line CD and line CD is perpendicular to line EF, we can conclude that line AB is also perpendicular to line EF.

Explanation:

If line AB is parallel to line CD and line CD is perpendicular to line EF, we can conclude that line AB is also perpendicular to line EF.

The reason for this is that if two lines are parallel to the same line, they are parallel to each other. In this case, we have line AB and line CD both parallel to line EF. Then, because line CD is perpendicular to line EF, line AB must also be perpendicular to line EF.

Find r(t) if r'(t) = 3t2i + 4t3j + t k and r(1) = i + j.

Answers

Final answer:

To find the position vector r(t) given its derivative and an initial condition, we integrate each component of the derivative and apply the initial condition to solve for constants of integration. The final position function is r(t) = t³i + t⁴j + (0.5t² - 0.5)k.

Explanation:

To find r(t) given that r'(t) = 3t²i + 4t³j + tk and r(1) = i + j, we integrate each component of r'(t) with respect to t. The integral of a derivative returns the original function plus a constant of integration, which we can solve using the initial condition provided.

For the i component: ∑ 3t² dt = t³+ C1

For the j component: ∑ 4t³ dt = t⁴ + C2

For the k component: ∑ t dt = 0.5t² + C3

Applying the initial condition r(1) = i + j, we substitute t = 1 into r(t) to solve for the constants of integration:

(1) + C1 = 1, so C1 = 0

(1) + C2 = 1, so C2 = 0

0.5(1) + C3 = 0, so C3 = -0.5

Therefore, the position function r(t) is given by t³i + t⁴j + (0.5t² - 0.5)k.

r(t) = t^3i + t^4j + ((1/2)t^2 - 1/2)k.

To find r(t) given r'(t) = 3t^2i + 4t^3j + tk and r(1) = i + j, we need to integrate r'(t) with respect to t.

Step 1: Integrate each component of r'(t) separately:

∫3t^2 dt = t^3 + C1 (integration with respect to t)

∫4t^3 dt = t^4 + C2 (integration with respect to t)

∫tk dt = (1/2)t^2k + C3 (integration with respect to t)

Step 2: Combine the results to get r(t):

r(t) = (t^3 + C1)i + (t^4 + C2)j + ((1/2)t^2k + C3)

Step 3: Use the given initial condition r(1) = i + j to find the values of the constants C1, C2, and C3:

r(1) = (1^3 + C1)i + (1^4 + C2)j + ((1/2)(1)^2k + C3)

i + j = i + j + (1/2)k + C3

Comparing the coefficients of k, we get:

(1/2) + C3 = 0

C3 = -1/2

Therefore, r(t) = (t^3 + C1)i + (t^4 + C2)j + ((1/2)t^2 - 1/2)k

The gemstone shown is a square pyramid that has a base with sides 3.4 inches long. The slant height of the pyramid is 3.8 inches. Find the surface area of the gemstone?

Answers

To find surface area we add up the areas of each face of the pyramid.  The area of the square base is given by (3.4)(3.4) = 11.56 in².

To find the area of each triangular face, we first need to find the height of each triangle.  We have the slant height and the base.  The slant height serves as one of the sides of the triangle.  We can draw the height from the top vertex to the base and use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the height.  This height we drew splits the base in half, so in our Pythagorean Theorem we have:
(1.7)² + b² = (3.8)²
(The half of the base will be one leg and the slant height is the hypotenuse)
This gives us 2.89 + b² = 14.44
Subtract 2.89 from each side to cancel it:
2.89 + b² - 2.89 = 14.44 - 2.89
b² = 11.55
Take the square root of both sides and we have 
= 3.4
The formula for the area of a triangle is A = (1/2)bh.  The base of our triangle is 3.4 and the height we just found is 3.4.
(1/2)(3.4)(3.4) = 5.78
The surface area will be 11.56 + 3.4 + 3.4 + 3.4 + 3.4 (there are 4 triangular faces) or 34.68 in²

The function C(x) = 17.5x - 10 represents the cost (in dollars) of buying x tickets to the orchestra with a $10 coupon.

a. How much cost to buy 10 tickets?
b. How many tickets can you buy with $130?

Answers

a. How much cost to buy 10 tickets?
 For this case what you must do is replace the value of x = 10 in the given equation.
 We have then:
 C (x) = 17.5x - 10
 C (10) = 17.5 * (10) - 10
 C (10) = 165
 Answer:
 to buy 10 tickets cost:
 $ 165

 b. How many tickets can you buy with $ 130? 
 For this case we must make the substitution: C (x) = 130
 We have then:
 C (x) = 17.5x - 10
 130 = 17.5x - 10
 Clearing x we have:
 17.5x = 130 + 10
 17.5x = 140
 x = (140) / (17.5)
 x = 8
 Answer:
 You can buy 8 tickets with $ 130

The cost function is a linear function

The cost of 10 tickets is $165You can buy 8 tickets with $130

The function is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{C(x) = 17.5x - 10}[/tex]

(a) The cost of 10 tickets

This means that: x= 10

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{C(x) = 17.5x - 10}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{C(10) = 17.5 \times 10 - 10}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{C(10) = 175- 10}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{C(10) = 165}[/tex]

Hence, the cost of 10 tickets is $165

(b) The number of tickets that costs $130

This means that C(x) = 130

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{C(x) = 17.5x - 10}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{130 = 17.5x - 10}[/tex]

Add 10 to both sides

[tex]\mathbf{140 = 17.5x}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 17.5

[tex]\mathbf{8 = x}[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]\mathbf{x = 8}[/tex]

Hence, you can buy 8 tickets with $130

It is recommended that one fire extinguisher be available for every 6,000 square feet in a building. Write and solve an equation to determine x, the number of fire extinguishers needed for a building that has 135,000 square feet.

Answers

135,000 divided by 6,000 =x x=22.5 so 23 fire extinguishers are needed in a building with 135,000 square feet

Answer:

[tex]6000x=135000[/tex]

23 fire extinguisher.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of fire extinguishers.

We have been given that one fire extinguisher be available for every 6,000 square feet in a building. So the total area covered by x extinguisher will be 6,000x.

Since the building has an area of 135,000 square feet. This means that that total area covered by x extinguisher is 135,000 square feet. We can represent this information in an equation as:

[tex]6000x=135000[/tex]

Therefore, the equation [tex]6000x=135000[/tex] represents the number of fire extinguishers needed for a building that has 135,000 square feet.

Now we will solve for by dividing both sides of our equation by 6000.

[tex]\frac{6000x}{6000}=\frac{135000}{6000}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{135}{6}[/tex]

[tex]x=22.5[/tex]

Since we can not have 0.5 of a fire extinguisher, so we will round up our answer as:

[tex]x\approx 23[/tex]

Therefore, 23 fire extinguisher are needed for the building.

Answers

Answer:

640 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We can consider 4 seconds to be 1 time unit. Then 8 more seconds is 2 more time units, for a total of 3 time units.

The distance is proportional to the square of the number of time units. After 1 time unit, the distance is 1² × 80 m. Then after 3 time units, the distance will be 3² × 80 m = 720 m.

In the additional 2 time units (8 seconds), the ball dropped an additional

... (720 -80) m = 640 m

_____

Alternate solution

You can write the equation for the proportionality and find the constant that goes into it. If we use seconds (not 4-second intervals) as the time unit, then we can say ...

... d = kt²

Filling in the information related to the first 4 seconds, we have ...

... 80 = k(4)²

... 80/16 = k = 5

Then the distance equation becomes ...

... d = 5t²

After 12 seconds (the first 4 plus the next 8), the distance will be ...

... d = 5×12² = 5×144 = 720 . . . meters

That is, the ball dropped an additional 720 -80 = 640 meters in the 12 -4 = 8 seconds after the first data point.

To find the perimeter of this shape, you will need to calculate the distance around the figure.  This would include 3 sides and the distance around half the circle.  We know the 3 side lengths are 10ft, 10 ft, and 4 ft.  To find the distance around half the circle, we need to find the circumference of the circle (distance around the entire circle) and divide it by 2.  To find the circumference, use the formula C = pi x diameter.  So, 3.14 x 4.  This equals 12.56.  We will divide this by 2 to get 6.28 ft.  So, 10 ft + 10 ft + 4 ft + 6.28 ft = 30.28 ft.
