At the 1998 Winter X-Games held in Crested Butte, Colorado, Jennie Waara, from Sweden, won the women’s snowboarding slope-style

competition. Suppose that in one of the qualifying races, Ms. Waara traveled 5 feet in the first second, and the distance she traveled increased by 7 feet each subsequent second.
If Ms. Waara reached the finish line in 15 seconds, how far did she travel?

a.
646 feet
b.
790 feet
c.
766 feet
d.
810 feet


Please select the best answer from the choices provided

The correct answer is D. Explanation: Initially, the distance is 5 feet in the first second. In the second second, it extends to 5 + 7 = 12 feet. The third second totals 12 + 7 = 19 feet. This pattern demonstrates an arithmetic sequence. For your specific query, the cumulative distance for the initial 15 seconds of movement is the distance Ms. Waara covered.

The time between failures for an electrical appliance is exponentially distributed with a mean of 25 months. What is the probabi
Inessa [9000]

Answer:

The likelihood that a failure will not take place within the next 30 months is 0.0454.

Step-by-step explanation:

We employ a Poisson distribution where:

t = time units

x = occurrences during t units

λ = average occurrences per unit of time

P(x;λt) = e raised to the power of (-λt) multiplied by λtˣ divided by x!

Here, λt equals 25.

x equals 30.

P(x= 30) = 25³⁰e⁻²⁵/ 30!

P (x= 30) = 8.67 E41 * 1.3887 E-11/30!    (where E signifies exponent)

P (x=30) = 1.204 E31/30!

Utilizing a statistical calculator will yield:

P (x=30) = 0.0454

The probability that the next failure will not occur prior to 30 months is 0.0454.

A direct variation function contains the points (–8, –6) and (12, 9). Which equation represents the function? y = –4/3x y = –3/4
Zina [9171]

Answer:

First, we must calculate the slope

m=Y2-Y1/X2-X1

= 9 - (-6) / 12 - (-8)

= 15/20

= 3/4

Therefore, the equation with the slope of 3/4 is Y=3/4x

What is the nearest ten thousand, the population of Vermont was estimated to be about 620,000 in 2008 . What might have been the
AnnZ [9099]

Answer:

The exact population of Vermont in 2008 could have been around 618,000

Step-by-step explanation:

* Here's how rounding to the nearest ten thousand works:

- Numbers ending with the last four digits between 0001 and 4999 are rounded down to the nearest lower multiple of ten thousand

- Example: 83,525 rounds down to 80,000.

- If the last four digits are 5000 or above, round up to the next higher ten thousand

- Example: 58,988 rounds up to 60,000

* Applying this rule to the problem given:

Since the rounded population is 620,000 to the nearest ten thousand, the actual population could be any value with the last four digits from 0001 to 4999 (like 618,000) or from 5000 upwards (like 624,000).

Therefore, 618,000 might represent the actual population of Vermont in 2008

A quadratic function has a line of symmetry at x = –3.5 and a zero at –9. What is the distance from the given zero to the line o
Svet_ta [9500]

Given:

A quadratic function has a line of symmetry positioned at x = –3.5 with one root located at –9.

To find:

The second root.

Solution:

It is understood that the line of symmetry splits the quadratic function's graph into two identical halves. Hence, both roots are equidistant from this line.

This implies that the line of symmetry passes through the midpoint of the two roots.

Let the other root be denoted as x.

-3.5=\dfrac{(-9)+x}{2}

Multiply both sides by 2.

-7=-9+x

Add 9 to both sides.

-7+9=-9+x+9

2=x

Consequently, the other zero of the quadratic function is concluded to be 2.
