The voltage v in a simple electrical circuit is slowly decreasing as the battery wears out. the resistance r is slowly increase as the resistor heats up. use ohm’s law, v = ir, to find how the current i is changing at the moment when r = 400, i = 0.08 dv/dt = −0.01 and dr/dt = 0.03.

Dexter read 11 science fiction books and 5 history books. lena read 9 science fiction books and 4 history books. compare the students’ ratios of science fiction books to history books. 1. determine the ratios’ form:    science fiction books to history books 2. write the ratios as fractions:    dexter: 115; lena: 94 3. rewrite with a common denominator. 4. compare. 5. answer the question. determine which shows the correct comparison of the ratios for this problem.

Suppose that 3% of all athletes are using the endurance-enhancing hormone epo (you should be able to simply compute the percentage of all athletes that are not using epo). for our purposes, a “positive” test result is one that indicates presence of epo in an athlete’s bloodstream. the probability of a positive result, given the presence of epo is .99. the probability of a negative result, when epo is not present, is .90. what is the probability that a randomly selected athlete tests positive for epo? 0.0297
