Answer:
The simplified expression is [tex]\frac{10}{3 a^2 b}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression is:
[tex]\frac{15b}{4} * \frac{8}{9a^2 b^2}[/tex]
Multiply the items in the numerator together ( 15b * 8 = 120 b). Also multiply the items in the denominator together ( 4 * 9a²b² = 36a²b²). The expression thus becomes:
[tex]= \frac{120b}{36 a^2 b^2} \\\\[/tex]
Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 12b:
[tex]= \frac{120b /12b}{36 a^2 b^2/12b}[/tex]
The expression finally becomes:
[tex]= \frac{10}{3 a^2 b}[/tex]

If 2/3 of a certain number is subtracted from twice the number, the result is 20. Find the number.
Answer:
[tex]\boxed{x = 15}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x
Condition:
[tex]2x - \frac{2}{3} x = 20[/tex]
Multiplying 3 to both sides
=> 3(2x) - 2x = 3(20)
=> 6x - 2x = 60
=> 4x = 60
Dividing both sides by 4
=> x = 15
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be that number.
2/3 of x subtracted from twice of x is 20.
2x - 2/3x = 20
Solve for x.
Combine like terms.
4/3x = 20
Multiply both sides by 3/4
x = 60/4
x = 15
The number is 15.
n rectangle ABCD, point E lies half way between sides AB and CD and halfway between sides AD and BC. If AB=11 and BC=2, what is the area of the shaded region? Write your answer as a decimal, if necessary.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
For the rectangle ABCD
AB= DC= 11
BC= AD= 2
Point E lies halfway between AB and CD
The shaded are forms two triangles, I'll refer to the upper triangle as "Triangle one" and the lower triangle will be "triangle 2"
The area of a triangle is calculated as
[tex]a= \frac{bh}{2}[/tex]
b= base
h= height
Triangle 1
b₁= AB= 11
[tex]h_1= \frac{BC}{2}= \frac{2}{2}= 1[/tex]
[tex]a_1= \frac{b_1h_1}{2}= \frac{11*1}{2}= 5.5[/tex]
Triangle 2
b₂= DC= 11
[tex]h_2= \frac{BC}{2}= \frac{2}{2} = 1[/tex]
[tex]a_2= \frac{b_2h_2}{2}= \frac{11*1}{2}= 5.5[/tex]
Now you add the areas of both triangles to get the area of the shaded region:
a₁ + a₂= 5.5 + 5.5= 11
Since point E is halfway to all sides of the rectangle, even tough it doesn't see so, the shaded area is equal to half the area of the rectangle:
area= bh= DC*AD= 11*2= 22
area/2= 22/12= 11
I hope this helps!

Tessellations that use more than one one type of regular polygon are called regular tessellations?
Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
A tessellation refest to a shape that is repeated over and over again covering a plane without any gaps or overlaps. The statement is false given that regular tessellations use only one polygon. Semi-regular tessellations are created with more than one type of regular polygon.
Find the centroid of the quarter of the unit circle lying in the fourth quadrant.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the fourth quadrant, the equation of the unit circle is:
y = -√(1 − x²), 0 ≤ x ≤ 1
The x and y coordinates of the centroid are:
cₓ = (∫ x dA) / A = (∫ xy dx) / A
cᵧ = (∫ y dA) / A = (∫ ½ y² dx) / A
For a quarter circle in the fourth quadrant, A = -π/4.
Solving each integral:
∫₀¹ xy dx
= ∫₀¹ -x √(1 − x²) dx
= ½ ∫₀¹ -2x √(1 − x²) dx
If u = 1 − x², then du = -2x dx.
When x = 0, u = 1. When x = 1, u = 0.
= ½ ∫₁⁰ √u du
= ½ ∫₁⁰ u^½ du
= ½ (⅔ u^³/₂) |₁⁰
= (⅓ u√u) |₁⁰
= 0 − ⅓
= -⅓
∫₀¹ ½ y² dx
= ½ ∫₀¹ (1 − x²) dx
= ½ (x − ⅓ x³) |₀¹
= ½ [(1 − ⅓) − (0 − 0)]
= ⅓
Therefore, the x and y coordinates of the centroid are:
cₓ = (-⅓) / (-π/4) = 4/(3π)
cᵧ = (⅓) / (-π/4) = -4/(3π)
A manufacturer knows that on average 20% of the electric toasters produced require repairs within 1 year after they are sold. When 20 toasters are randomly selected, find appropriate numbers x and y such that (a) the probability that at least x of them will require repairs is less than 0.5; (b) the probability that at least y of them will not require repairs is greater than 0.8
Answer:
(a) The value of x is 5.
(b) The value of y is 15.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the random variable X represent the number of electric toasters produced that require repairs within 1 year.
And the let the random variable Y represent the number of electric toasters produced that does not require repairs within 1 year.
The probability of the random variables are:
P (X) = 0.20
P (Y) = 1 - P (X) = 1 - 0.20 = 0.80
The event that a randomly selected electric toaster requires repair is independent of the other electric toasters.
A random sample of n = 20 toasters are selected.
The random variable X and Y thus, follows binomial distribution.
The probability mass function of X and Y are:
[tex]P(X=x)={20\choose x}(0.20)^{x}(1-0.20)^{20-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(Y=y)={20\choose y}(0.20)^{20-y}(1-0.20)^{y}[/tex]
(a)
Compute the value of x such that P (X ≥ x) < 0.50:
[tex]P (X \geq x) < 0.50\\\\1-P(X\leq x-1)<0.50\\\\0.50<P(X\leq x-1)\\\\0.50<\sum\limits^{x-1}_{0}[{20\choose x}(0.20)^{x}(1-0.20)^{20-x}][/tex]
Use the Binomial table for n = 20 and p = 0.20.
[tex]0.411=\sum\limits^{3}_{x=0}[b(x,20,0.20)]<0.50<\sum\limits^{4}_{x=0}[b(x,20,0.20)]=0.630[/tex]
The least value of x that satisfies the inequality P (X ≥ x) < 0.50 is:
x - 1 = 4
x = 5
Thus, the value of x is 5.
(b)
Compute the value of y such that P (Y ≥ y) > 0.80:
[tex]P (Y \geq y) >0.80\\\\P(Y\leq 20-y)>0.80\\\\P(Y\leq 20-y)>0.80\\\\\sum\limits^{20-y}_{y=0}[{20\choose y}(0.20)^{20-y}(1-0.20)^{y}]>0.80[/tex]
Use the Binomial table for n = 20 and p = 0.20.
[tex]0.630=\sum\limits^{4}_{y=0}[b(y,20,0.20)]<0.50<\sum\limits^{5}_{y=0}[b(y,20,0.20)]=0.804[/tex]
The least value of y that satisfies the inequality P (Y ≥ y) > 0.80 is:
20 - y = 5
y = 15
Thus, the value of y is 15.
A boat is pulled into a dock by a rope attached to the bow of the boat and passing through a pulley on the dock that is 1 m higher than the bow of the boat. If the rope is pulled in at a rate of 1 m/s, how fast is the boat approaching the dock when it is 4 m from the dock
Answer:
-1.031 m/s or [tex]\frac{-\sqrt{17} }{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We take the length of the rope from the dock to the bow of the boat as y.
We take x be the horizontal distance from the dock to the boat.
We know that the rate of change of the rope length is [tex]\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex] = -1 m/s
We need to find the rate of change of the horizontal distance from the dock to the boat = [tex]\frac{dx}{dt}[/tex] = ?
for x = 4
Applying Pythagorean Theorem we have
[tex]1^{2} +x^{2} =y^{2}[/tex] .... equ 1
solving, where x = 4, we have
[tex]1^{2} +4^{2} =y^{2}[/tex]
[tex]y^{2} = 17[/tex]
[tex]y = \sqrt{17}[/tex]
Differentiating equ 1 implicitly with respect to t, we have
[tex]2x\frac{dx}{dt} = 2y\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]
substituting values of
x = 4
y = [tex]\sqrt{17}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex] = -1
into the equation, we get
[tex]2(4)\frac{dx}{dt} = 2(\sqrt{17} )(-1)[/tex]
[tex]\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{-\sqrt{17} }{4}[/tex] = -1.031 m/s

Answer:
5/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of marbles in the bag
6red+ 4blue + 14 yellow = 24 marbles
Not yellow marbles = 10 marbles
P ( not yellow ) = number of not yellow marbles / total marbles
=10/24
= 5/12
Answer:
5/12
Step-by-step explanation:
6 red marbles
4 blue marbles
14 yellow marbles
total marbles = 6 + 4 + 14 = 24 marbles
24 - 14 = 10 marbles
10 marbles are not yellow.
P(not yellow) = 10/24 = 5/12
Find the vertical and horizontal asymptotes, domain, range, and roots of f (x) = -1 / x-3 +2.
Answer:
Vertical asymptote: [tex]x=3[/tex]
Horizontal asymptote: [tex]f(x) =2[/tex]
Domain of f(x) is all real numbers except 3.
Range of f(x) is all real numbers except 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Function:
[tex]f (x) = -\dfrac{1 }{ x-3} +2[/tex]
One root, [tex]x = 3.5[/tex]
To find:
Vertical and horizontal asymptote, domain, range and roots of f(x).
Solution:
First of all, let us find the roots of f(x).
Roots of f(x) means the value of x where f(x) = 0
[tex]0= -\dfrac{1 }{ x-3} +2\\\Rightarrow 2= \dfrac{1 }{ x-3}\\\Rightarrow 2x-2 \times 3=1\\\Rightarrow 2x=7\\\Rightarrow x = 3.5[/tex]
One root, [tex]x = 3.5[/tex]
Domain of f(x) i.e. the values that we give as input to the function and there is a value of f(x) defined for it.
For x = 3, the value of f(x) [tex]\rightarrow \infty[/tex]
For all, other values of [tex]x[/tex] , [tex]f(x)[/tex] is defined.
Hence, Domain of f(x) is all real numbers except 3.
Range of f(x) i.e. the values that are possible output of the function.
f(x) = 2 is not possible in this case because something is subtracted from 2. That something is [tex]\frac{1}{x-3}[/tex].
Hence, Range of f(x) is all real numbers except 2.
Vertical Asymptote is the value of x, where value of f(x) [tex]\rightarrow \infty[/tex].
[tex]-\dfrac{1 }{ x-3} +2 \rightarrow \infty[/tex]
It is possible only when
[tex]x-3=0\\\Rightarrow x=3[/tex]
[tex]\therefore[/tex] vertical asymptote: [tex]x=3[/tex]
Horizontal Asymptote is the value of f(x) , where value of x [tex]\rightarrow \infty[/tex].
[tex]x\rightarrow \infty \Rightarrow \dfrac{1 }{ x-3} \rightarrow 0\\\therefore f(x) =-0+2 \\\Rightarrow f(x) =2[/tex]
[tex]\therefore[/tex] Horizontal asymptote: [tex]f(x) =2[/tex]

Four buses carrying 198 students from the same school arrive at a football stadium. The buses carry, respectively 90, 33, 25, and 50 students. One of the students is randomly selected. Let X denote the number of students who were on the bus carrying the randomly selected student. One of the four bus drivers is also randomly selected. Let Y denote the number of students on her bus. a) Which of E[X] or E[Y] do you think is larger
Answer:
E[x] is larger
Step-by-step explanation:
I think E[x] is larger because the expected number of students on the bus of a randomly chosen student is larger.
This is because the higher the number of students present in a bus, the higher the probability that a randomly selected student would have been on that bus.
Whereas, for every driver to be chosen, the probability of any bus being chosen is 1/4 irrespective of the number of students in that particular bus
The pressure applied to a leverage bar varies inversely as the distance from the object. If 150 pounds is required for a distance of 10 inches from the object how much pressure is needed for a distance of 3 inches
Answer:
500 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the pressure applied to the leverage bar be represented by p
Let the distance from the object be represented by d.
The pressure applied to a leverage bar varies inversely as the distance from the object.
Written mathematically, we have:
[tex]p \propto \dfrac{1}{d}[/tex]
Introducing the constant of proportionality
[tex]p = \dfrac{k}{d}[/tex]
If 150 pounds is required for a distance of 10 inches from the object
p=150 poundsd=10 inches[tex]150 = \dfrac{k}{10}\\\\k=1500[/tex]
Therefore, the relationship between p and d is:
[tex]p = \dfrac{1500}{d}[/tex]
When d=3 Inches
[tex]p = \dfrac{1500}{3}\\\implies p=500$ pounds[/tex]
The pressure applied when the distance is 3 inches is 500 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total material available = 60 inches
Length to be 3 more than twice of width.
To find:
Largest possible length = ?
Solution:
As it is rectangular shaped frame.
Let length = [tex]l[/tex] inches and
Width = [tex]w[/tex] inches
As per given condition:
[tex]l = 2w+3[/tex] ..... (1)
Total frame available = 60 inches.
i.e. it will be the perimeter of the rectangle.
Formula for perimeter of rectangle is given as:
[tex]P = 2 \times (Width + Length)[/tex]
Putting the given values and conditions as per equation (1):
[tex]60 = 2 \times (w+ l)\\\Rightarrow 60 = 2 \times (w+ 2w+3)\\\Rightarrow 60 = 2 \times (3w+3)\\\Rightarrow 30 = 3w+3\\\Rightarrow 3w = 27\\\Rightarrow w = 9 \ inch[/tex]
Putting in equation (1):
[tex]l = 2\times 9+3\\\Rightarrow l = 21\ inch[/tex]
So, the answer is:
Largest possible length is 21 inches.

The mean number of words per minute (WPM) typed by a speed typist is 149149 with a standard deviation of 1414 WPM. What is the probability that the sample mean would be greater than 147.8147.8 WPM if 8888 speed typists are randomly selected
Answer:
The probability is [tex]P(\= X > x ) = 0.78814[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are given that
The population mean is [tex]\mu = 149[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 14[/tex]
The random number [tex]x = 147.81[/tex]
The sample size is [tex]n = 88[/tex]
The probability that the sample mean would be greater than [tex]P(\= X > x ) = P( \frac{ \= x - \mu }{\sigma_{\= x} } > \frac{ x - \mu }{\sigma_{\= x} } )[/tex]
Generally the z- score of this normal distribution is mathematically represented as
[tex]Z = \frac{ \= x - \mu }{\sigma_{\= x} }[/tex]
Now
[tex]\sigma_{\= x } = \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\sigma_{\= x } = \frac{14 }{\sqrt{88} }[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_{\= x } = 1.492[/tex]
Which implies that
[tex]P(\= X > x ) = P( Z > \frac{ 147.81 - 149 }{ 1.492} )[/tex]
[tex]P(\= X > x ) = P( Z > -0.80 )[/tex]
Now from the z-table the probability is found to be
[tex]P(\= X > x ) = 0.78814[/tex]

The hypothesis for the test can be defined as follows:
H₀: The popular charity has expenses that are higher than other similar charities, i.e. μ > 0.31.
Hₐ: The popular charity has expenses that are less than other similar charities, i.e. μ < 0.31.
As the population standard deviation is not known we will use a t-test for single mean.
Compute the sample mean and standard deviation as follows:
[tex]\bar x=\frac{1}{n}\sum X=\frac{1}{10}\cdot[0.26+0.12+...+0.26]=0.238\\\\s= \sqrt{ \frac{ \sum{\left(x_i - \overline{X}\right)^2 }}{n-1} } = \sqrt{ \frac{ 0.0674 }{ 10 - 1} } =0.08654\approx 0.087[/tex]
Compute the test statistic value as follows:
[tex]t=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\frac{0.238-0.31}{0.087/\sqrt{10}}=-2.62[/tex]
Thus, the test statistic value is -2.62.
Compute the p-value of the test as follows:
[tex]p-value=P(t_{\alpha, (n-1)}<-2.62}[/tex]
[tex]=P(t_{0.05,9}<-2.62)\\=0.014[/tex]
*Use a t-table.
Thus, the p-value of the test is 0.014.
Decision rule:
If the p-value of the test is less than the significance level then the null hypothesis will be rejected and vice-versa.
p-value = 0.014 < α = 0.05
The null hypothesis will be rejected at 5% level of significance.
Thus, concluding that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean is less than 31%.
