Answer:

The solution set for the numbers in this problem is (-5, ∞).

Detailed explanation:

Assign the variable x to represent the number.

Two-fifths of one less than the number is represented as =\frac{2}{5}(x-1).

Three-fifths of one more than the number is expressed as =\frac{3}{5}(x+1).

The inequality states that two-fifths of one less than the number is less than three-fifths of one more than that number, which means

             \frac{2}{5}(x-1)-5

Therefore, the numbers satisfying the inequality range from -5 (not included) to infinity.

Erica is participating in a road race. The first part of the race is on a 5.2-mile-long straight road oriented at an angle of 25
PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:

6.79 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider triangle ABC where A marks the starting point and C indicates the end point.

|AB|=5.2 miles

|BC|=3.0 miles

∠ABC = 90 + 75 = 165°

We're given two side lengths and an angle that is not opposite to either side.

The approach to resolve this scenario is known as the Cosine Rule.

Each side opposite an angle is designated by the corresponding lowercase letter.

The Cosine Rule asserts that:

b² = a² + c² - 2acCosB

|AC|²=3² + 5.2² - (2 × 5.2 × Cos 165°)

|AC|²=9 + 27.04 + 10.05

|AC|²=46.09

|AC|=√46.09=6.79 miles

Thus, the straight-line distance from A to C measures 6.79 miles

Charlotte’s weekly paycheck is based on the number of hours worked during the week and on the weekend. If she works 13 hours dur
Svet_ta [12734]
I will designate the hourly rate for weekdays as x and for weekends as y. The equations are arranged as follows:

13x + 14y = $250.90
15x + 8y = $204.70

This gives us a system of equations which can be solved by multiplying the first equation by 4 and the second by -7. This leads to:

52x + 56y = $1003.60
-105x - 56y = -$1432.90

By summing these two equations, we arrive at:

-53x = -$429.30 --> 53x = $429.30 --> (dividing both sides by 53) x = 8.10. This represents her hourly wage on weekdays.

Substituting our value for x allows us to determine y. I will utilize the first equation, but either could work.

$105.30 + 14y = $250.90. To isolate y, subtract $105.30 from both sides --> 14y = $145.60 divide by 14 --> y = $10.40

Thus, we find that her earnings are $8.10 per hour on weekdays and $10.40 per hour on weekends. The difference shows she earns $2.30 more on weekends than on weekdays.

Ship collisions in the Houston Ship Channel are rare. Suppose the number of collisions are Poisson distributed, with a mean of 1
Leona [12618]
c) Step-by-step breakdown: The collision rate is 1.2 incidents per 4 months, which can be expressed as 0.3 incidents monthly. Therefore, the Poisson distribution for the variable X representing monthly collisions is defined as P(X = x) =... for x ∈ N ∪ {0} = 0 otherwise. (1) Where X = 0 denotes no collisions during a 4-month timeframe, substituting gives P(X = 0) =... (2). For a 4-month period, P(No collision in 4 month period) =... (3). Two collisions in a 2-month span translate to 1 per month, thus P(X =1) =... (4). Over 2 months, P(2 collisions in a 2 month period) =... (5). One collision over a 6-month period equates to P(1 collision in 6 months period) =... (6). Consequently, P(1 collision in 6 month period) results in... (7). For no collisions in a 6-month period, P(No collision in 6 months period) =... (8). Finally, the probability of 1 or fewer collisions over six months is P(1 or fewer collision in 6 months period) = (8) + (7) = 0.0785 + 0.1653.
