Find the length and width of a rectangle that has the given perimeter and a maximum area. Perimeter: 116 meters
Answer:
Length = 29 m
Width = 29 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y be the length and width of the rectangle, respectively.
The area and perimeter are given by:
[tex]A=xy\\p=116=2x+2y\\y=58-x[/tex]
Rewriting the area as a function of x:
[tex]A(x) = x(58-x)\\A(x) = 58x-x^2[/tex]
The value of x for which the derivate of the area function is zero, is the length that maximizes the area:
[tex]A(x) = 58x-x^2\\\frac{dA}{dx}=0=58-2x\\ x=29\ m[/tex]
The value of y is:
[tex]y = 58-29\\y=29\ m[/tex]
Length = 29 m
Width = 29 m
1. Growth of Functions (11 points) (1) (4 points) Determine whether each of these functions is O(x 2 ). Proof is not required but it may be good to try to justify it (a) 100x + 1000 (b) 100x 2 + 1000
Answer:
See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine whether each of these functions is [tex]O(x^2)[/tex], we apply these theorems:
A polynomial is always O(the term containing the highest power of n)Any O(x) function is always [tex]O(x^2)[/tex].(a)Given the function: f(x)=100x+1000
The highest power of n is 1.
Therefore f(x) is O(x).
Since any O(x) function is always [tex]O(x^2)[/tex], 100x+1000 is [tex]O(x^2)[/tex].
[tex](b) f(x)=100x^ 2 + 1000[/tex]
The highest power of n is 2.
Therefore the function is [tex]O(x^2)[/tex].

Jeremy makes $57,852 per year at his accounting firm. How much is Jeremy’s monthly salary? (There are 12 months in a year.) How much is Jeremy’s weekly salary? (There are 52 weeks in a year.)
Answer:
Monthly: $4,821
Weekly: $1112.54
Step-by-step explanation:
Monthly
A monthly salary can be found by dividing the yearly salary by the number of months.
salary / months
His salary is $57,852 and there are 12 months in a year.
$57,852/ 12 months
Divide
$4,821 / month
Jeremy makes $4,821 per month.
Weekly
To find the weekly salary, divide the yearly salary by the number of weeks.
salary / weeks
He makes $57,852 each year and there are 52 weeks in one year.
$57,852 / 52 weeks
Divide
$1112.53846 / week
Round to the nearest cent. The 8 in the thousandth place tells use to round the 3 up to a 4 in the hundredth place.
$1112.54 / week
Jeremy makes $1112.54 per week
The Aluminum Association reports that the average American uses 56.8 pounds of aluminum in a year. A random sample of 51 households is monitored for one year to determine aluminum usage. If the population standard deviation of annual usage is 12.2 pounds, what is the probability that the sample mean will be each of the following? Appendix A Statistical Tables a. More than 61 pounds
Answer:
0.007
Step-by-step explanation:
We were told in the above question that a random sample of 51 households is monitored for one year to determine aluminum usage
Step 1
We would have to find the sample standard deviation.
We use the formula = σ/√n
σ = 12.2 pounds
n = number of house holds = 51
= 12.2/√51
Sample Standard deviation = 1.7083417025.
Step 2
We find the z score for when the sample mean is more than 61
z-score formula is z = (x-μ)/σ
where:
x = raw score = 61 pounds
μ = the population mean = 56.8 pounds
σ = the sample standard deviation = 1.7083417025
z = (x-μ)/σ
z = (61 - 56.8)/ 1.7083417025
z = 2.45852
Finding the Probability using the z score table
P(z = 2.45852) = 0.99302
P(x>61) = 1 - P(z = 2.45852) = 0.0069755
≈ 0.007
Therefore,the probability that the sample mean will be more than 61 pounds is 0.007
Heather is writing a quadratic function that represents a parabola that touches but does not cross the x-axis at x = –6. Which function could Heather be writing? f(x) = x2 + 36x + 12 f(x) = x2 – 36x – 12 f(x) = –x2 + 12x + 36 f(x) = –x2 – 12x – 36
Answer:
f(x) = –x^2 – 12x – 36
Step-by-step explanation:
The parent function, x^2, touches the x-axis at x=0. Translating it 6 units left replaces x with x-(-6) = x+6, so the function is ...
f(x) = (x+6)^2 = x^2 +12x +36
Reflecting the graph across the x-axis doesn't change the x-intercept, so Heather could be writing ...
f(x) = -x^2 -12x -36
It's D.

[!] Urgent [!] Find the domain of the graphed function.
a) Al usar un microscopio el microscopio se amplía una célula 400 veces. Escribe el factor de ampliación como cociente o como escala.
b) La imagen de una célula usando dicho microscopio mide 1,5 mm ¿ Cuánto mide la célula en la realidad?
Answer:
x = 0,00375 mm
Step-by-step explanation:
a) El factor de ampliación es 400/1 es decir el tamaño real se verá ampliado 400 veces mediante el uso del microscopio
b) De acuerdo a lo establecido en la respuesta a la pregunta referida en a (anterior) podemos establecer una regla de tres, según:
Si al microscopio el tamaño de la célula es 1,5 mm, cual será el tamaño verdadero ( que es reducido 400 en relación al que veo en el microscopio)
Es decir 1,5 mm ⇒ 400
x (mm) ⇒ 1 (tamaño real de la célula)
Entonces
x = 1,5 /400
x = 0,00375 mm

if a varies inversely as the cube root of b and a=1 when b=64, find b
Answer:
b = 64/a³
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the given information, we can only find a relation between a and b. We cannot find any specific value for b.
Since a varies inversely as the cube root of b, we have ...
a = k/∛b
Multiplying by ∛b lets us find the value of k:
k = a·∛b = 1·∛64 = 4
Taking the cube of this equation gives ...
64 = a³b
b = 64/a³ . . . . . divide by a³
The value of b is ...
b = 64/a³
Given a right triangle with a hypotenuse length of radical 26 and base length of 3. Find the length of the other leg (which is also the height).
Answer:
√17
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean theorem can be used for the purpose.
hypotenuse² = base² +height²
(√26)² = 3² +height²
26 -9 = height²
height = √17
The length of the other leg is √17.
the ellipse is centered at the origin, has axes of lengths 8 and 4, its major axis is horizontal. how do you write an equation for this ellipse?
Answer:
The equation for this ellipse is [tex]\frac{x^{2}}{64} + \frac{y^{2}}{16} = 1[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard equation of the ellipse is described by the following expression:
[tex]\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}} = 1[/tex]
Where [tex]a[/tex] and [tex]b[/tex] are the horizontal and vertical semi-axes, respectively. Given that major semi-axis is horizontal, [tex]a > b[/tex]. Then, the equation for this ellipse is written in this way: (a = 8, b = 4)
[tex]\frac{x^{2}}{64} + \frac{y^{2}}{16} = 1[/tex]
The equation for this ellipse is [tex]\frac{x^{2}}{64} + \frac{y^{2}}{16} = 1[/tex].

Find the indicated conditional probability
using the following two-way table:
P( Drive to school | Sophomore ) = [?]
Round to the nearest hundredth.
Answer:
0.07
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of sophmores is 2+25+3 = 30.
Of these sophmores, 2 drive to school.
So the probability that a student drives to school, given that they are a sophmore, is 2/30, or approximately 0.07.
Answer:
[tex]\large \boxed{0.07}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The usual question is, "What is the probability of A, given B?"
They are asking, "What is the probability that you are driving to school if you are a sophomore (rather than taking the bus or walking)?"
We must first complete your frequency table by calculating the totals for each row and column.
The table shows that there are 30 students, two of whom drive to school.
[tex]P = \dfrac{2}{30}= \mathbf{0.07}\\\\\text{The conditional probability is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{0.07}}$}[/tex]

A. The median mileage per gallon is _____27.905_____
B. The mode does not exist.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean= Sum of values/ No of Values
Mean = 24.2 + 22.2+ 37.8+ 22.7 + 35.4 +31.61/ 6
Mean = 173.91/6= 28.985 ≅ 28.99
The median is the middle value of an ordered data which divides the data into two equal halves. For an even data the median is the average of n/2 and n+1/2 value where n is the number of values.
Rearranging the above data
22.2 , 22.7 , 24.2 , 31.61 , 35.4, 37.8
Third and fourth values are =24.2 + 31.61 = 55.81
Average of third and fourth values is = 55.81/2= 27.905
Mode is the values which is occurs repeatedly.
In this data there is no mode.

Silver Lake has a population of 114,000. The population is decreasing at a rate of 1.5% each year. Which of the following choices is the correct function? a p(s) = 114000• 0.985x b p(s) = 114000x c p(s) = 114000x + 0.985 d None of these choices are correct.
Answer: D
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the question, Silver Lake has a population of 114,000. The population is decreasing at a rate of 1.5% each year
The initial population Po = 114000
Rate = 1.5% = 0.015
The declining population formula will be:
P = Po( 1 - R%)x^2
The decay formula
Since the population is decreasing, take away 0.015 from 1
1 - 0.015 = 0.985
Substitutes all the parameters into the formula
P(s) = 114000(0.985)x^2
P(s) = 114000× 0985x^2
The correct answer is written above.
Since option A does not have square of x, we can therefore conclude that the answer is D - non of the choices is correct.
¿Cuál serie numérica tiene como regla general Xn = 2n +1?
a. 3, 5, 7, 9
b. 2, 4, 5, 8
c. 4, 6, 8,10
d. 2, 3, 4, 5
Answer:
The series of numbers that correspond to the general rule of [tex]X_n=2n+1[/tex] is {3, 5, 7, 9}.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given with the following series options below;
a. 3, 5, 7, 9
b. 2, 4, 5, 8
c. 4, 6, 8,10
d. 2, 3, 4, 5
And we have to identify what number series has a general rule as [tex]X_n=2n+1[/tex].
For this, we will put the values of n in the above expression and then will see which series is obtained as a result.
So, the given expression is ; [tex]X_n=2n+1[/tex]
If we put n = 1, then;
[tex]X_1=(2\times 1)+1[/tex]
[tex]X_1 = 2+1 = 3[/tex]
If we put n = 2, then;
[tex]X_2=(2\times 2)+1[/tex]
[tex]X_2 = 4+1 = 5[/tex]
If we put n = 3, then;
[tex]X_3=(2\times 3)+1[/tex]
[tex]X_3 = 6+1 = 7[/tex]
If we put n = 4, then;
[tex]X_4=(2\times 4)+1[/tex]
[tex]X_4 = 8+1 = 9[/tex]
Hence, the series of numbers that correspond to the general rule of [tex]X_n=2n+1[/tex] is {3, 5, 7, 9}.

This is a stem and leaf plot.
mean is 138.2/20=6.91
median of 20 is half way between 10th and 11th or an ordered plot. The 10th and the 11th are both 6.8, so that is the median.
6.4 and 6.8 are modes, but they are so minimal I would say there isn't a clear mode.
The range is 1.8, the largest-the smallest
This is not a normal distribution.

An instructor asks students to rate their anxiety level on a scale of 1 to 100 (1 being low anxiety and 100 being high anxiety) just before the students take their final exam. The responses are shown below. Construct a relative frequency table for the instructor using five classes. Use the minimum value from the data set as the lower class limit for the first row, and use the lowest possible whole-number class width that will allow the table to account for all of the responses. Use integers or decimals for all answers.
48,50,71,58,56,55,53,70,63,74,64,33,34,39,49,60,65,84,54,58
Provide your answer below:
Lower Class Limit Upper Class Limit Relative Frequency
Answer:
The frequency table is shown below.
Step-by-step explanation:
The data set arranged ascending order is:
S = {33 , 34 , 39 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 58 , 58, 60 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 70 , 71 , 74 , 84}
It is asked to use the minimum value from the data set as the lower class limit for the first row.
So, the lower class limit for the first class interval is 33.
To determine the class width compute the range as follows:
[tex]\text{Range}=\text{Maximum}-\text{Minimum}[/tex]
[tex]=84-33\\=51[/tex]
The number of classes requires is 5.
The class width is:
[tex]\text{Class width}=\frac{Range}{5}=\frac{51}{2}=10.2\approx 10[/tex]
So, the class width is 10.
The classes are:
33 - 42
43 - 52
53 - 62
63 - 72
73 - 82
83 - 92
Compute the frequencies of each class as follows:
Class Interval Values Frequency
33 - 42 33 , 34 , 39 3
43 - 52 48 , 49 , 50 3
53 - 62 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 58 , 58, 60 7
63 - 72 63 , 64 , 65 , 70 , 71 5
73 - 82 74 1
83 - 92 84 1
TOTAL 20
Compute the relative frequencies as follows:
Class Interval Frequency Relative Frequency
33 - 42 3 [tex]\frac{3}{20}\times 100\%=15\%[/tex]
43 - 52 3 [tex]\frac{3}{20}\times 100\%=15\%[/tex]

In a survey, 205 people indicated they prefer cats, 160 indicated they prefer dots, and 40 indicated they don’t enjoy either pet. Find the probability that if a person is chosen at random, they prefer cats
Answer: probability = 0.506
Step-by-step explanation:
The data we have is:
Total people: 205 + 160 + 40 = 405
prefer cats: 205
prefer dogs: 160
neither: 40
The probability that a person chosen at random prefers cats is equal to the number of people that prefer cats divided the total number of people:
p = 205/405 = 0.506
in percent form, this is 50.6%
The length of a rectangle is 5M more than twice the width and the area of the rectangle is 63M to find the dimension of the rectangle
Answer:
width = 4.5 m
length = 14 m
Step-by-step explanation:
okay so first you right down that L = 5 + 2w
then as you know that Area = length * width so you replace the length with 5 + 2w
so it's A = (5 +2w) * w = 63
then 2 w^2 + 5w - 63 =0
so we solve for w which equals 4.5 after that you solve for length : 5+ 2*4.5 = 14

The width of a door is normally distributed with a mean of 23 7/8 inches and a standard deviation of 1/16 inch. Assume independence. a. Determine the mean and standard deviation of the difference between the width of the casing and the width of the door. b. What is the probability that the width of the casing minus the width of the door exceeds 1/4 inch? c. What is the probability that the door does not fit in the casing?
Answer:
a) Mean = 0.125 inch
Standard deviation = 0.13975 inch
b) Probability that the width of the casing minus the width of the door exceeds 1/4 inch = P(X > 0.25) = 0.18673
c) Probability that the door does not fit in the casing = P(X < 0) = 0.18673
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the distribution of the width of the casing be X₁ (μ₁, σ₁²)
Let the distribution of the width of the door be X₂ (μ₂, σ₂²)
The distribution of the difference between the width of the casing and the width of the door = X = X₁ - X₂
when two independent normal distributions are combined in any manner, the resulting distribution is also a normal distribution with
Mean = Σλᵢμᵢ
λᵢ = coefficient of each disteibution in the manner that they are combined
μᵢ = Mean of each distribution
Combined variance = σ² = Σλᵢ²σᵢ²
λ₁ = 1, λ₂ = -1
μ₁ = 24 inches
μ₂ = 23 7/8 inches = 23.875 inches
σ₁² = (1/8)² = (1/64) = 0.015625
σ₂ ² = (1/16)² = (1/256) = 0.00390625
Combined mean = μ = 24 - 23.875 = 0.125 inch
Combined variance = σ² = (1² × 0.015625) + [(-1)² × 0.00390625] = 0.01953125
Standard deviation = √(Variance) = √(0.01953125) = 0.1397542486 = 0.13975 inch
b) Probability that the width of the casing minus the width of the door exceeds 1/4 inch = P(X > 0.25)
This is a normal distribution problem
Mean = μ = 0.125 inch
Standard deviation = σ = 0.13975 inch
We first normalize/standardize 0.25 inch
The standardized score of any value is that value minus the mean divided by the standard deviation.
z = (x - μ)/σ = (0.25 - 0.125)/0.13975 = 0.89
P(X > 0.25) = P(z > 0.89)
Checking the tables
P(x > 0.25) = P(z > 0.89) = 1 - P(z ≤ 0.89) = 1 - 0.81327 = 0.18673
c) Probability that the door does not fit in the casing
If X₂ > X₁, X < 0
P(X < 0)
We first normalize/standardize 0 inch
z = (x - μ)/σ = (0 - 0.125)/0.13975 = -0.89
P(X < 0) = P(z < -0.89)
Checking the tables
P(X < 0) = P(z < -0.89) = 0.18673
Hope this Helps!!!
The dimensions of a closed rectangular box are measured as 96 cm, 58 cm, and 48 cm, respectively, with a possible error of 0.2 cm in each dimension. Use differentials to estimate the maximum error in calculating the surface area of the box.
Answer:
161.6 cm²Step-by-step explanation:
Surface Area of the rectangular box = 2(LW+LH+WH)
L is the length of the box
W is the width of the box
H is the height of the box
let dL, dW and dH be the possible error in the dimensions L, W and H respectively.
Since there is a possible error of 0.2cm in each dimension, then dL = dW = dH = 0.2cm
The surface Area of the rectangular box using the differentials is expressed as shown;
S = 2{(LdW+WdL)+(LdH+HdL)+(WdH+HdW)]
Also given L = 96cm W = 58cm and H = 48cm, on substituting this given values and the differential error, we will have;
S = 2{(96*0.2+58*0.2) + (96*0.2+48*0.2)+(58*0.2+48*0.2)}
S = 2{19.2+11.6+19.2+9.6+11.6+9.6}
S = 2(80.8)
S = 161.6 cm²
Hence, the surface area of the box is 161.6 cm²
