Answer:

A (5)

Step-by-step explanation:

        c represents the slope and a and b represent the two shorter sides of the right angled triangle ( x,y)

       [tex]c^{2}[/tex] = [tex]-4^{2} + 3^{2}[/tex]

            = 16 + 9

             = 25,

therefore [tex]\sqrt{c^{2} }[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{25}[/tex]

                   c = 5

Answer:

a) 2.06

b) variance = 270.90 , std = 275.14

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Determine Expected rate of return

attached below is the calculated table for the solution provided

∴ Expected rate of return = ∑ Xp(x) = -6.46 + 3.84 + 4.68 = 2.06

b) Determine the variance and standard deviation

Variance ( Vx ) = E(x)^2 - [ Expected rate of return ]^2

                         = 275.14 - ( 2.06 )^2 ≈ 270.90

standard deviation = √ variance = √270.90 = 16.459

note : E(x)^2 = ∑ x^2 p(x) = 275.14

Answer:

16 bookmarks were sold

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

They sold 9 book marks for every 2 books (9:2 ratio).

72/9 = 2/x

Cross multiply. 72 * x = 72x

9 * 2 = 18

72 divided by 18 = 40

The value of vector v that is perpendicular to the plane through the points is,

⇒ v = (6, - 27, - 24)

To multiply means to add a number to itself a particular number of times. Multiplication can be viewed as a process of repeated addition.

Given that;

Points are,

A = (5,−4,4), B = (−5,0,−3), and C = (−4,2,−5).

Hence, We get;

AB = [- 10, 4, - 7]

AC = [-9, 6, -9]

So, The value of vector v that is perpendicular to the plane through the points is,

⇒ v = AB x AC

⇒ v = (- 10, 4, - 7) x (- 9, 6, - 9)

⇒ v = (6, - 27, - 24)

Thus, The value of vector v that is perpendicular to the plane through the points is,

⇒ v = (6, - 27, - 24)

Answer:

n = 8√2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Angle θ = 60°

Opposite = 4√6

Hypothenus = n =?

The value of n can be obtained by using the sine ratio as illustrated below:

Sine θ = Opposite / Hypothenus

Sine 60 = 4√6 / n

√3/2 = 4√6 / n

Cross multiply

n × √3 = 2 × 4√6

n × √3 = 8√6

Divide both side by √3

n = 8√6 / √3

Rationalise

n = 8√6 / √3 × (√3/√3)

n = 8√(6×3) / 3

n = 8√18 / 3

Recall

√18 = √(9×2) = √9 × √2 = 3√2

Thus,

n = 8√18 / 3

n = 8 × 3√2 / 3

n = 8√2

Answer:

The sum of 1/6 and 1/7 would be 13/42, or, if you wanted the answer in decimal form rounded to the nearest hundredth, it would be about 0.31.

To find the sum of 1/6 and 1/7, we cannot simply add the numerators together and maintain the same denominator. This is because 1/6 and 1/7 have different denominators, so we don't know which denominator to maintain!

To fix this we need to find a number that is divisible by both 6 and 7. One easy way to do this is to multiply the two numbers together:

6 x 7 = 42

If we were to change the denominator to 42 for each fraction, we could add the numerators together and maintain a denominator of 42. However, this means we must change the numerator of each fraction along with its denominator.

Let's start with 1/6. We can multiply 6 by 7 to obtain 42, but this means we also have to multiply 1 by 7 to keep the fraction proportionate. If the fraction does not maintain the same proportion, it will be a completely different fraction!

We know that 1 x 7 = 7, so it is safe to say that 1/6 is equal to 7/42.

We can apply the same logic to 1/7. Since 7 x 6 is 42 we need to multiply 1 by 6 along with 7. Note: you cannot multiply each number by 7 this time, because 7 x 7 would be 49, not 42. In multiplying the numerator and denominator by 6 we know that 1/7 = 6/42.

Now we have an equation of:

6/42 + 7/42

Now we can add it as we would normally by adding the numerators and keeping the denominator to get:

6/42 + 7/42 = 13/42

If you needed the answer in decimal form it would be about 0.3095238095, or 0.31 rounded to the nearest hundredth.

I hope this helped.

Answer:

  5.423 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance to run. Then the remaining distance to the point that is closest to the island is (6-x) miles. The straight-line distance (d) to the point x from the island is given by the Pythagorean theorem:

  d² = 1² +(6 -x)² = x² -12x +37

  d = √(x² -12x +37)

The total travel time is the sum of times running and swimming. Each time is found from ...

  time = distance/speed

  total time = x/4 + d/2 = x/4 +(1/2)√(x² -12x +37)

__

The total time will be minimized when its derivative with respect to x is zero.

  t' = 1/4 +(1/4)(2x -12)/√(x² -12x +37) = 0

Multiplying by 4 and combining fractions, we can see the numerator will be ...

  √(x² -12x +37) +2x -12 = 0

Subtracting the radical term and squaring both sides, we get ...

  4x² -48x +144 = x² -12x +37

  3x² -36x +107 = 0

The quadratic formula tells us the smaller of the two roots is ...

  x = (36 -√(36² -4(3)(107)))/(2(3)) = (36 -√12)/6 ≈ 5.423 . . . mi

You should run 5.423 miles west to minimize the time needed to reach the island.

__

A graphing calculator solves this nicely. The attached graph shows the time is a minimum when you run 5.423 miles.

Answers:

longer leg = 12 meters

hypotenuse = 13 meters

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

Explanation:

Let's say the triangle has sides a,b,c such that a < b < c

Use the pythagorean theorem to solve for b

[tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\\\5^2 + b^2 = (b+1)^2\\\\25 + b^2 = b^2+2b+1\\\\25 + b^2-b^2-2b-1 = 0\\\\-2b+24 = 0\\\\-2b = -24\\\\b = -24/(-2)\\\\b = 12[/tex]

The longer leg is 12 meters in length.

c = b+1 = 12+1 = 13

The hypotenuse is 13 meters long.

We have a 5-12-13 right triangle.

Answer:

The situation that represents this situation is:

[tex]t = \frac{60}{n}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of time t needed to assemble the set is inversely  proportional to the number people n working.

This means that:

[tex]t = \frac{k}{n}[/tex]

In which k is the constant of proportionality.

Twelve people can assemble the set in 5 hours.

This means that for [tex]n = 12, t = 5[/tex]. We use this to find k.

[tex]t = \frac{k}{n}[/tex]

[tex]5 = \frac{k}{12}[/tex]

[tex]k = 12*5 = 60[/tex]

Write an equation to represent the situation.

[tex]t = \frac{60}{n}[/tex]

Answer:

q = [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle and the exact value

sin30° = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] , then

sin30° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{q}{2\sqrt{2} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

2q = 2[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] ( divide both sides by 2 )

q = [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]

(a)

[tex]\begin{array}{cccccc}x & {1} & {3} & {4} & {6} & {12} \ \\ P(x) & {0.30} & {0.10} & {0.05} & {0.15} & {0.40} \ \end{array}[/tex]

(b)

[tex]P(3 \le x \le 6) = 0.30[/tex]

[tex]P(4 \le x)=0.60[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]F(x) = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0& x<1 &\\0.30&1 \le x<3 &\\0.40&3 \le x < 4& &0.45 &4 \le x<6 &\\0.60 & 6 \le x < 12 & & 1 & 12 \le x\end{array}\right[/tex]

Solving (a): The pmf

This means that we list out the probability of each value of x.

To do this, we simply subtract the current probability value from the next.

So, we have:

[tex]\begin{array}{cccccc}x & {1} & {3} & {4} & {6} & {12} \ \\ P(x) & {0.30} & {0.10} & {0.05} & {0.15} & {0.40} \ \end{array}[/tex]

The calculation is as follows:

[tex]0.30 - 0 = 0.30[/tex]

[tex]0.40 - 0.30 = 0.10[/tex]

[tex]0.45 - 0.40 = 0.05[/tex]

[tex]0.60 - 0.45 = 0.15[/tex]

[tex]1 - 0.60 = 0.40[/tex]

The x values are gotten by considering where the equality sign is in each range.

[tex]1 \le x < 3[/tex] means [tex]x = 1[/tex]

[tex]3 \le x < 4[/tex] means [tex]x = 3[/tex]

[tex]4 \le x < 6[/tex] means [tex]x=4[/tex]

[tex]6 \le x < 12[/tex] means [tex]x = 6[/tex]

[tex]12 \le x[/tex] means [tex]x = 12[/tex]

Solving (b):

[tex](i)\ P(3 \le x \le 6)[/tex]

This is calculated as:

[tex]P(3 \le x \le 6) = F(6) - F(3-)[/tex]

From the given function

[tex]F(6)= 0.60[/tex]

[tex]F(3-) = F(1) = 0.30[/tex]

So:

[tex]P(3 \le x \le 6) = 0.60 - 0.30[/tex]

[tex]P(3 \le x \le 6) = 0.30[/tex]

[tex](ii)\ P(4 \le x)[/tex]

This is calculated as:

[tex]P(4 \le x)=1 - F(4-)[/tex]

[tex]P(4 \le x)=1 - F(3)[/tex]

[tex]P(4 \le x)=1 - 0.40[/tex]

[tex]P(4 \le x)=0.60[/tex]

[tex]k=0[/tex]

B)

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} 2k + 1& = 2\ln 20 + 1 \\ &\approx 2.3863\end{aligned}[/tex]

C)

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} k - 3&= \ln \frac{1}{2} - 3 \\ &\approx-3.6931 \end{aligned}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

[tex]\displaystyle h(x) = 20e^{kx} \text{ where } k \in \mathbb{R}[/tex]

A)

Given that h(1) = 20, we want to find k.

h(1) = 20 means that h(x) = 20 when x = 1. Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle (20) = 20e^{k(1)}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]1= e^k[/tex]

Anything raised to zero (except for zero) is one. Therefore:

[tex]k=0[/tex]

B)

Given that h(1) = 40, we want to find 2k + 1.

Likewise, this means that h(x) = 40 when x = 1. Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle (40) = 20e^{k(1)}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle 2 = e^{k}[/tex]

We can take the natural log of both sides:

[tex]\displaystyle \ln 2 = \underbrace{k\ln e}_{\ln a^b = b\ln a}[/tex]

By definition, ln(e) = 1. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle k = \ln 2[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]2k+1 = 2\ln 2+ 1 \approx 2.3863[/tex]

C)

Given that h(1) = 10, we want to find k - 3.

Again, this meas that h(x) = 10 when x = 1. Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle (10) = 20e^{k(1)}[/tex]

Simplfy:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} = e^k[/tex]

Take the natural log of both sides:

[tex]\displaystyle \ln \frac{1}{2} = k\ln e[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle k = \ln \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle k - 3 = \ln\frac{1}{2} - 3\approx-3.6931[/tex]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Each gallon of 7% milk contains 0.07 gallon of butterfat.

Each gallon of 4% milk contains 0.04 gallon of butterfat.

291 gallons of 6% milk contain 291×0.06 = 17.46 gallons of butterfat.

Let x be the number of gallons of 7% milk used. 291-x is the number of gallons of 4% milk used.

0.07x + 0.04(291-x) = 17.46

0.03x + 11.64 = 17.46

x = 200

Use 200 gallons of 7% and 91 gallons of 4%.

Step 2: Subtract 24 from both sides.

3x2+10x−8−24=24−24

3x2+10x−32=0

Step 3: Factor left side of equation.

(3x+16)(x−2)=0

Step 4: Set factors equal to 0.

3x+16=0 or x−2=0

YWX = DFE

Step-by-step explanation:

AAS means angle angle side. so, we need 2 angles and 1 side.

we have 1 side and one angle confirmed.

so, we need one of the other two angles (W or Y vs. F or D) confirmed.

they probably want W and F as answer, as Y and D would make it a special case of AAS : ASA.

we replace y by its value in the first or the second equation, so will have:

5x + 2×2 = 9

5x + 4 = 9

5x = 5

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

Explanation:

Piecewise functions are admittedly a bit confusing at first if you aren't familiar with them.

However, they aren't too bad. Effectively we have two functions going on depending on what the input is.

If the input x is less than 0, then we go for the top row and say [tex]f(x) = x^2[/tex]

OR

If the input x is greater than 0, then we go for the bottom row to say [tex]f(x) = \sqrt[3]{x}[/tex]

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

In this case, the input is x = -8. So we go for the first row since this x value satisfies x < 0.

We would then say:

[tex]f(x) = x^2\\\\f(-8) = (-8)^2\\\\f(-8) = 64\\\\[/tex]

Which points us to choice A as the final answer.

Answer:

f(-8) = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

Input -8 into one of the formulas (either will work) and the answer should be 64. therefore, if x is -8, f(-8) would equal 64.
