The median age (in years) of the U.S. population over the decades from 1960 through 2010 is given by
f(t) = −0.2176t3 + 1.962t2 − 2.833t + 29.4 (0 ≤ t ≤ 5)
where t is measured in decades, with t = 0 corresponding to 1960.
(a) What was the median age of the population in the year 1970?
(b) At what rate was the median age of the population changing in the year 1970?
(c) Calculate f ''(1).

Answers

Answer 1

Considering the given function, we have that:

a) 28.31 years.

b) 0.3382 years a decade.

c) 2.6184.

What is the function?

The median age of the U.S. population in t decades after 1960 is:

f(t) = -0.2176t³ + 1.962t² - 2.833t + 29.4.

1970 is one decade after 1960, hence the median was:

f(1) = -0.2176 x 1³ + 1.962 x 1² - 2.833 x 1 + 29.4 = 28.31 years.

The rate of change was is the derivative when t = 1, hence:

f'(t) = -0.6528t² + 3.924t - 2.933

f'(1) = -0.6528 x 1² + 3.924 x 1 - 2.933 = 0.3382 years a decade.

The second derivative is:

f''(t) = -1.3056t + 3.924

Hence:

f''(1) = -1.3056 x 1 + 3.924 = 2.6184.

The mean output of a certain type of amplifier is 102102 watts with a standard deviation of 1212 watts. If 6363 amplifiers are sampled, what is the probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by greater than 3.43.4 watts

Answers

Answer:

0.0244 = 2.44% probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by greater than 3.4 watts.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Mean of 102, standard deviation of 12:

This means that [tex]\mu = 102, \sigma = 12[/tex]

Sample of 63:

This means that [tex]n = 63, s = \frac{12}{\sqrt{63}}[/tex]

What is the probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by greater than 3.4 watts?

Below 102 - 3.4 = 98.6 or above 102 + 3.4 = 105.4. Since the normal distribution is symmetric, these probabilities are equal, and thus, we find one of them and multiply by two.

Probability the mean is below 98.6.

p-value of Z when X = 98.6. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{98.6 - 102}{\frac{12}{\sqrt{63}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.25[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.25[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0122.

2*0.0122 = 0.0244

0.0244 = 2.44% probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by greater than 3.4 watts.

total mass vs. numbers of cd and numbers of cd

Answers

Answer: Choice A) M = 0.25n + 100

=============================================================

Explanation:

For now, I'll treat n as x, and M as y.

In other words,

x = number of CDsy = total mass in kg

Let's select two points from this graph. I'll pick (200,150) and (400,200)

The slope of the line through those points is

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (200-150)/(400-200)

m = 50/200

m = 0.25

Now we'll use the point (x,y) = (200,150) along with that slope value to find the y intercept b

y = mx+b

150 = 0.25*200+b

150 = 50+b

150-50 = b

100 = b

b = 100

You could also use (x,y) = (400,200) and you should get the same b value.

In fact, any other point from this graph works as well.

------------------------------

Since m = 0.25 and b = 100, we go from y = mx+b to y = 0.25x+100

This then translates over to M = 0.25n + 100 which is choice A

To help verify this, let's say we plugged in n = 100

M = 0.25*n + 100

M = 0.25*100 + 100

M = 25 + 100

M = 125

Which is confirmed by what the graph shows. I'll let you check the other points as well.

16. How many different words can be formed with the letters of the word 'RAJARAM'? In how many of
these,
(i) have two R and J always together?
(ii) being with Rand end with J?

Answers

(i) Take RRJ out and the rest letter is AAAM and permutation wise it should form 4! variations, may the 3As being Afirst, Asecond, and Athird. These three alone may form 3! permutations and when setting Afirst = Asecond =Athird one would have 3! sets of identical variations so 4!/3! = 4. And intuitively we can already see them: AAAM, AAMA, AMAA and MAAA. While inserting anything (in our case RRJ) back into a 4 letter queue, there are exactly 4+1 spots to insert (before every letter + behind the last letter) so for RRJ there would be 4*(4+1) variations which is 20. If considering RJR or JRR also applies to the answer, 20+20+20=60.

  x = √2

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph indicates the only solution is near x=√2.

__

Square both sides, separate the radical and do it again.

  [tex]\displaystyle(2-x)\sqrt{\frac{x+2}{x-1}}=\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3x-4}\qquad\text{given}\\\\(2-x)^2\cdot\frac{x+2}{x-1}=x+(3x-4)+2\sqrt{x(3x-4)}\qquad\text{square}\\\\\frac{(2-x)^2(x+2)}{x-1}-4x+4=2\sqrt{x(3x-4)}\qquad\text{isolate radical}\\\\\left(\frac{(2-x)^2(x+2)-4(x-1)^2}{x-1}\right)^2=x(3x-4)\qquad\text{square}\\\\(x^3-6x^2+4x+4)^2=4(x-1)^2(3x^2-4x)\qquad\text{multiply by $(x-1)^2$}[/tex]

Now, we can put this polynomial equation into standard form and factor it.

  [tex]x^6 -12x^5+32x^4-76x^2+48x+16=0\\\\(x-2)^2(x^2-2)(x^2-8x-2)=0\qquad\text{factor it}\\\\x\in \{2,\pm\sqrt{2},4\pm3\sqrt{2}\}[/tex]

The original equation requires that we restrict the domain of possible solutions. In order for the radicals to be non-negative, we must have x ≥ 4/3. In order for the left side of the equation to be non-negative, we must have x ≤ 2. So, the only potential solutions will be in the interval [4/3, 2].

The only values in the above list that match this requirement are {√2, 2}. We know that the right side of the equation cannot be zero, so the value x=2 is also an extraneous solution.

The only solution is x = √2.

No because the corresponding sides are not proportional
Yes because the corresponding sides are proportional

Answers

Answer:

Yes, because there are two pairs of congruent corresponding angles

Step-by-step explanation:

Two triangles are similar if they have the same angles. For triangle UVT on the left, we know that the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. There is one missing angle there, so the sum of angles is

80 + 55 + missing angle = 180

subtract 80+55 = 135 from both sides

45 = missing angle

Therefore, the angles in UVT are 45, 55, and 80

Similar, for XWY,

missing angle + 45 + 55 = 180

subtract 45 + 55= 100 from both sides

missing angle = 80

The angles for XWY are 45, 55, and 80. The angles are the same for both triangles, and there are three pairs of congruent corresponding angles (45, 55, and 80). Therefore, the triangles are similar

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle p(x) + q(x) = \frac{2x}{(x+1)(x-1)}[/tex]

The result is indeed another rational expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the two functions:

[tex]\displaystyle p(x) = \frac{1}{x+1}\text{ and } q(x) = \frac{1}{x-1}[/tex]

And we want to perform the operation:

[tex]\displaystyle p(x) + q(x)[/tex]

And show that the result is another rational expression.

Add:

[tex]\displaystyle = \frac{1}{x+1} + \frac{1}{x-1}[/tex]

To combine the fractions, we will need a common denominator. So, we can multiply the first fraction by (x - 1) and the second by (x + 1):

[tex]\displaystyle = \frac{1}{x+1}\left(\frac{x-1}{x-1}\right) + \frac{1}{x-1}\left(\frac{x+1}{x+1}\right)[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]=\displaystyle \frac{x-1}{(x+1)(x-1)} + \frac{x+1}{(x+1)(x-1)}[/tex]

Add:

[tex]\displaystyle = \frac{(x-1)+(x+1)}{(x+1)(x-1)}[/tex]

Simplify. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle p(x) + q(x) = \frac{2x}{(x+1)(x-1)}[/tex]

The result is indeed another rational expression.

To find the coordinates of a point after a dilation you simply multiply the x and y values of the pre image coordinates by the scale factor

In this case the scale factor is 3 and the coordinates are (2,-2)
