An automobile manufacturing plant produced 37 vehicles today: 17 were sedans, 11 were trucks, and 9 were vans. (Each vehicle falls into only one of these categories.) Plant managers are going to select two of these vehicles for a thorough inspection. The first vehicle will be selected at random, and then the second vehicle will be selected at random from the remaining vehicles. What is the probability that two trucks will be selected? Do not round your intermediate computations. Round your final answer to three decimal places.

A tortoise and hare are competing in a 400-meter race. The arrogant hare gives the tortoise a 220-meter head start. When the start gun is fired, the hare begins running at a constant speed of 3.5 meters per second and the tortoise begins crawling at constant speed of 1.5 meters per second. Take out a piece of paper and read the above problem context again. You will prepare your written work and solutions on your own paper and upload it and the end of this question. Complete the problem solving process by: i. reading and re-reading the problem to identify the quantities in the situation; ii. making a drawing to represent the relevant quantities in the situation; iii. and defining the variable t to represent the number of seconds since the start of the race. a. Define a function f to determine the distance of the tortoise from the finish line in terms of the number of seconds, t, since the start of the race.

Question 3Bob is a young entrepreneur who recently graduated from UPSA and using three different ingredient (flour, sugar and butter) to produce three different kinds cakes namely Boban, Boapp and Bopine to be supplied to a pastries store at Shoprite. In order to produce a dozen cakes of Boban requires 5g each of flour, sugar and butter. Also, producing Boapp requires 15g each of butter and sugar together with 20g of flour while producing Bopine requires 15g each of sugar and flour, and 20g of butter. In any particular day, the company has a total of 17500g, 16000g and 18500g of butter, sugar and flour available respectively.(a) Write three linear equations and hence form a matrix to represent the above problem (b) Determine the number dozens of cakes of each brand of cakes that should be produced from the available raw materials using matrix inversion
