Let ????(t)=⟨t2,1−t,4t⟩r(t)=⟨t2,1−t,4t⟩. Calculate the derivative of ????(t)⋅????(t)r(t)⋅a(t) at t=2t=2, assuming that ????(2)=⟨2,5,−3⟩a(2)=⟨2,5,−3⟩ and ????′(2)=⟨4,−3,9⟩
Answer:
The derivative is [tex]\frac{ d (r(t) \cdot a(t))}{dt} = 82[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
[tex]r(t) = (t^2 ,1 - t , 4t)[/tex]
[tex]a(2) = (2, 5, -3)[/tex] and [tex]a'(2) = (4,-3 , 9)[/tex]
At t = 2
[tex]r(t) = (2^2 ,1 - 2 , 4(2))[/tex]
[tex]r(t) = (4 ,-1 , 8 )[/tex]
Now the derivative of r(t) is
[tex]r'(t) = (2t, -1 ,4)[/tex]
At t = 2
[tex]r'(t) = (2(2), -1 ,4)[/tex]
[tex]r'(t) = (4, -1 ,4)[/tex]
Now the derivative of [tex]r(t) \cdot a(t)[/tex] At t = 2 is
[tex]= r'(2) a(2) + a'(2)r(2)[/tex]
[tex]= (4,-1,4)(2,5,-3) + (4,-3,9)(4,-1,8)[/tex]
[tex]= (8 - 5 -12) + (16+3+72)[/tex]
[tex]= -9 + 91[/tex]
[tex]\frac{ d (r(t) \cdot a(t))}{dt} = 82[/tex]
How many feet of chain fence are necessary to enclosed a dog pen that is square and has a area of 64 sq feet
Answer:
32 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
area of square is given by side^2
Perimeter of square is given by 4*side
_______________________________
Given
area of square = 64 sq feet
side^2 = 64
side^2 = 8^2
side = 8
thus side = 8 feet
_______________________________________
The dog pen is fenced with chain, hence chain will be fence at the edge of square and at the perimeter.
Thus, length of chain required will be same as the Perimeter of square.
Perimeter of given dog pen with side length 8 feet = 4*8 = 32 feet.
Thus, 32 feet of chain fence is required.

What is the value of $x$ if $-\frac23(x-5) = \frac32(x+1)$?
Answer:
x = (-29)/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
(2 (x - 5))/3 = (3 (x + 1))/2
Multiply both sides by 6:
(6×2 (x - 5))/3 = (6×3 (x + 1))/2
6/3 = (3×2)/3 = 2:
2×2 (x - 5) = (6×3 (x + 1))/2
6/2 = (2×3)/2 = 3:
2×2 (x - 5) = 3×3 (x + 1)
2×2 = 4:
4 (x - 5) = 3×3 (x + 1)
3×3 = 9:
4 (x - 5) = 9 (x + 1)
Expand out terms of the left hand side:
4 x - 20 = 9 (x + 1)
Expand out terms of the right hand side:
4 x - 20 = 9 x + 9
Subtract 9 x from both sides:
(4 x - 9 x) - 20 = (9 x - 9 x) + 9
4 x - 9 x = -5 x:
-5 x - 20 = (9 x - 9 x) + 9
9 x - 9 x = 0:
-5 x - 20 = 9
Add 20 to both sides:
(20 - 20) - 5 x = 20 + 9
20 - 20 = 0:
-5 x = 9 + 20
9 + 20 = 29:
-5 x = 29
Divide both sides of -5 x = 29 by -5:
(-5 x)/(-5) = 29/(-5)
(-5)/(-5) = 1:
x = 29/(-5)
Multiply numerator and denominator of 29/(-5) by -1:
Answer: x = (-29)/5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiplying both sides by $6$ to get rid of the fractions gives\[6\left(-\frac23\right)(k-6) = 6\left(\frac32\right)(k+6),\]so\[-4(k-6) = 9(k+6).\]Expanding both sides gives $-4k+24 = 9k + 54.$ Adding $4k$ to both sides gives $24 = 13k+54.$ Subtracting $54$ from both sides gives $-30=13k.$ Dividing both sides by $13$ gives $k =-30/13}.$

The board of directors of Midwest Foods has declared a dividend of $3,500,000. The company has 300,000 shares of preferred stock that pay $2.85 per share and 2,500,000 shares of common stock. After finding the amount of dividends due the preferred shareholders, calculate the dividend per share of common stock.
Answer:
$1,06
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculation for dividend per share of common stock for board of directors of Midwest Foods
First step is to find the amount of dividends due to the preferred shareholders
Using this formula
Total Dividend =Dividend- (Preferred stock *Per share of preferred stock )
Let plug in the formula
Total Dividend =$3,500,000-($300,000*$2.85)
Total Dividend =$3,500,000-$855,000
Total Dividend =$2,645,000
The second step is to find Dividend per share of common stock
Using this formula
Dividend per share of common stock=Total dividend/Shares of common stock
Let plug in the formula
Dividend per share of common stock=$2,645,000/$2,500,000
Dividend per share of common stock=$1.06
Therefore the dividend per share of common stock for board of directors of Midwest Foods will be $1.06
Let $x$ be the smallest multiple of $11$ that is greater than $1000$ and $y$ be the greatest multiple of $11$ less than $11^2$. Compute $x - y$.
Answer:
891
Step-by-step explanation:
x has to be 1001 and y has to be 11 * 10 = 110 so x - y = 1001 - 110 = 891.
Answer:
891
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]$1001$ is the smallest integer greater than $1000$. It also happens to be a multiple of $11$, since $1001 = 11 \cdot 91$. So $1001$ is the smallest multiple of $11$ greater than $1000$ and thus $x = 1001$.The greatest multiple of $11$ that is less than $11^2 = 11 \cdot 11$ is$$11 \cdot (11 - 1) = 11 \cdot 10 = 110$$Thus $y = 110$, and we compute$$x - y = 1001 - 110 = \boxed{891}$$[/tex]

181.3 182.1 182.1 180.3 181.7 180.5
Compute the following:
a. The sample range
b. The sample variance S2 from the definition (Hint: First subtract 180 from each observation.]
c. The sample standard deviation
d. S2 using the shortcut method
Answer:
(a) 2.3
(b) 0.5245
(c) 0.7242
(d) 0.5245
Step-by-step explanation:
The data provided is:
S = {180.5, 181.7, 180.9, 181.6, 182.6, 181.6, 181.3, 182.1, 182.1, 180.3, 181.7, 180.5}
(a)
The formula to compute the sample range is:
[tex]\text{Sample Range}=\text{max.}_{x}-\text{min.}_{x}[/tex]
The data set arranged in ascending order is:
S' = {180.3 , 180.5 , 180.5 , 180.9 , 181.3 , 181.6 , 181.6 , 181.7 , 181.7 ,, 182.1 , 182.1 , 182.6}
The minimum value is, 180.3 and the maximum value is, 182.6.
Compute the sample range as follows:
[tex]\text{Sample Range}=\text{max.}_{x}-\text{min.}_{x}[/tex]
[tex]=182.6-180.3\\=2.3[/tex]
Thus, the sample range is 2.3.
(b)
Compute the sample variance as follows:
[tex]S^{2}=\frac{1}{n-1}\sum(x_{i}-\bar x)^{2}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{1}{12-1}\times [(180.5-181.41)^{2}+(181.7-181.41)^{2}+...+(180.5-181.41)^{2}]\\\\=\frac{1}{11}\times 5.7692\\\\=0.524473\\\\\approx 0.5245[/tex]
Thus, the sample variance is 0.5245.
(c)
Compute the sample standard deviation as follows:
[tex]s=\sqrt{S^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]=\sqrt{0.5245}\\\\=0.7242[/tex]
Thus, the sample standard deviation is 0.7242.
(d)
Compute the sample variance using the shortcut method as follows:
[tex]S^{2}=\frac{1}{n-1}\cdot [\sum x_{i}^{2}-n(\bar x)^{2}][/tex]
[tex]=\frac{1}{12-1}\cdot [394913.57-(12\times (181.41)^{2}]\\\\=\frac{1}{11}\times [394913.57-394907.80]\\\\=\frac{5.77}{11}\\\\=0.5245[/tex]
Thus, the sample variance is 0.5245.

Step-by-step explanation:
An isosceles triangle is a triangle in which two of its sides are equal. This also means that in the triangle, two angles are equal. The angles are usually the base angles. Looking at the given triangle ABC, the base angles are angle Angle A and Angle B, thus angle A = ang B
Therefore, the statement that can be used in the proof is
Angle CAB = angle CBA
To decide whether two different types of steel have the same true average fracture toughness values, n specimens of each type are tested, yielding the following results.
Type Sample Average Sample SD
1 60.7 1.0
2 60.5 1.0
Required:
a. Calculate the P-value for the appropriate two-sample z test, assuming that the data was based on n = 100. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
b. Calculate the P-value for the appropriate two-sample z test, assuming that the data was based on n = 500. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
c. Is the small P-value for n = 500 indicative of a difference that has practical significance
Answer:
a. P-value = 0.1589
b. P-value = 0.0016
Step-by-step explanation:
a. This is a hypothesis test for the difference between populations means.
The claim is that the two types of steel have different true average fracture toughness values.
Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:
[tex]H_0: \mu_1-\mu_2=0\\\\H_a:\mu_1-\mu_2\neq 0[/tex]
The significance level is α=0.05.
The sample 1, of size n1=100 has a mean of 60.7 and a standard deviation of 1. The sample 2, of size n2=100 has a mean of 60.5 and a standard deviation of 1.
The difference between sample means is Md=0.2.
[tex]M_d=M_1-M_2=60.7-60.5=0.2[/tex]
The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:
[tex]s_{M_d}=\sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma_1^2+\sigma_2^2}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{1^2+1^2}{100}}\\\\\\s_{M_d}=\sqrt{\dfrac{2}{100}}=\sqrt{0.02}=0.1414[/tex]
Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:
[tex]t=\dfrac{M_d-(\mu_1-\mu_2)}{s_{M_d}}=\dfrac{0.2-0}{0.1414}=\dfrac{0.2}{0.1414}=1.4142[/tex]
The degrees of freedom for this test are:
[tex]df=n_1+n_2-2=100+100-2=198[/tex]
This test is a two-tailed test, with 198 degrees of freedom and t=1.4142, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):
[tex]P-value=2\cdot P(t>1.4142)=0.1589[/tex]
As the P-value (0.1589) is greater than the significance level (0.05), the effect is not significant.
The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.
There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the two types of steel have different true average fracture toughness values.
b. As the sample size changes, the standard error and the degress of freedom change.
The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:
[tex]s_{M_d}=\sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma_1^2+\sigma_2^2}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{1^2+1^2}{500}}\\\\\\s_{M_d}=\sqrt{\dfrac{2}{500}}=\sqrt{0.004}=0.0632[/tex]
Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:
[tex]t=\dfrac{M_d-(\mu_1-\mu_2)}{s_{M_d}}=\dfrac{0.2-0}{0.0632}=\dfrac{0.2}{0.0632}=3.1623[/tex]
The degrees of freedom for this test are:
[tex]df=n_1+n_2-2=500+500-2=998[/tex]
This test is a two-tailed test, with 998 degrees of freedom and t=3.1623, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):
[tex]P-value=2\cdot P(t>3.1623)=0.0016[/tex]
As the P-value (0.0016) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), the effect is significant.
The null hypothesis is rejected.
There is enough evidence to support the claim that the two types of steel have different true average fracture toughness values.

Step-by-step explanation:
two lines, 3y-2x=21 and 4y+5x=5, intersect at the point Q. find the coordinates of Q.
Answer:
Q = (- 3, 5 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
3y - 2x = 21 → (1)
4y + 5x = 5 → (2)
Multiplying (1) by 5 and (2) by 2 and adding will eliminate the x- term.
15y - 10x = 105 → (3)
8y + 10x = 10 → (4)
Add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate x
23y = 115 ( divide both sides by 23 )
y = 5
Substitute y = 5 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x
Substituting into (2)
4(5) + 5x = 5
20 + 5x = 5 ( subtract 20 from both sides )
5x = - 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = - 3
Solution is (- 3, 5 )

The coefficient of variation for the prices of tickets purchased 30 days in advance is ____% (round to the three decimal places as needed)
Answer:
coefficient of variation = 7.108%
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information:
The objective is to determine the coefficient of variation for the prices of tickets purchased 30 days in advance is ____%
The mean [tex]\overline x[/tex] = [tex]\dfrac{250+286+305+256+288+282+254}{7}[/tex]
The mean [tex]\overline x[/tex] = [tex]\dfrac{1921}{7}[/tex]
The mean [tex]\overline x[/tex] = 274.4285714
The standard deviation also can be computed as follows:
[tex]\sigma =\sqrt{ \dfrac{\sum (x_i-\mu)^2}{N}}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma =\sqrt{ \dfrac{ (250-274.43)^2+(286-274.43)^2+(305-274.43)^2+...+(254-274.43)^2}{7}}[/tex][tex]\sigma =19.507[/tex]
Finally; the coefficient of variation can be calculated with the formula:
coefficient of variation = [tex]\dfrac{\sigma}{\overline x}[/tex]
coefficient of variation = [tex]\dfrac{19.507}{274.43}[/tex]
coefficient of variation = 0.07108
coefficient of variation = 7.108%

To compare the production techniques used by foreign and local firms in Brazil, a random sample of 80 foreign firms and a random sample of 80 local firms are selected.This study uses_________ design
Answer:
An independent sample.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this scenario, to compare the production techniques used by foreign and local firms in Brazil, a random sample of 80 foreign firms and a random sample of 80 local firms are selected. We can safely conclude that this study uses an independent sample design.
An independent sample design can be defined as a research method that usually involves the use of multiple experimental groups (two or more). The samples or participants are only in one group and as such each group has no relationship with the other. This simply means that, the samples in a particular group is having no relationship with the other samples in another group.
Ultimately this implies, each samples are independent and satisfies only one condition of the independent sample design during the experiment to compare the production technique used by foreign and local firms in Brazil.
Hence, the researcher would use only two variables or conditions: a random sample of 80 foreign firms and a random sample of 80 local firms are selected.
You would like to have extra spending money, so you decided to work part-time at the local gym. The job pays $15.00 per hour and you work 20 hours per week. Your employer withholds 10% of your gross pay for federal taxes, 7.65% for FICA taxes, and 3% for state taxes.
Required:
a. What is your weekly gross pay?
b. How much is withheld per week for federal taxes?
c. How much is withheld per week for FICA taxes?
d. How much is withheld per week for state taxes?
e. What is your weekly net pay?
f. What percentage of your gross pay is withheld for taxes? Round to the nearest tenth of a percent.
Answer:
a. Weekly gross pay = $300
b. Federal taxes, F = $30
c. Fica taxes, K = 22.95
d. State taxes, S = $9
e. Weekly net pay = 238.05
Step-by-step explanation:
Gross pay, G = 15 $/h * 20 h = 300 / week
Fed taxes, F = 10%*G = $30
FICA, K = 7.65%*G = $22.95
State taxes, S = 3%*G = $9
a. Weekly gross pay = $300
b. Federal taxes, F = $30
c. Fica taxes, K = 22.95
d. State taxes, S = $9
e. Weekly net pay = 300 - (30+22.95+9) = 300 - 55.95 = 238.05
A shipment of 60 inexpensive digital watches, including 9 that are defective,is sent to a department store.The receiving department select's 10 at random for testing and rejects the whole shipment if 1 or more in the sample are found defective.What is the probability that the shipment will be rejected?
Answer: 0.627 or 62.7 %
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability that shipment will be rejected P(rejected) = 1- probability that shipment will be accepted.
P(rejected)= 1-P(accepted)
P(accepted) is equal to probability when all 10 watches are not defective.
The probability that 1st one randomly selected watches are not defective is 51/60 (51 watches are not defective and 9 are defective)
The probability that 2-nd one randomly selected watches are not defective is 50/59 ( because the total number of the watches now is 1 unit less 60-1=59, and the total number of not defective watches is 1 unit less 51-1=50 units)
The probability that 3rd one randomly selected watches are not defective is 49/58 (49 watches are not defective total number of watches is 58)
Similarly P(4th)= 48/57 P(5th)=47/56 P(6th)=46/55 P(7th)=45/54
P(8th)=44/53 P(9th)=43/52 P(10th)=42/51
So P(accepted)= P(1st)*P(2nd)*P(3rd)*P(4th)*P(5th)*P(6th)*P(7th)*P(8th)*P(9th)*P(10th)=
=51*50*49*48*47*46*45*44*43*42/(60*59*58*57*56*55*54*53*52*51)=
= approx= 0.373
So P(rejected)=1-0.373=0.627
Given that is both the median and altitude of triangle ABC, congruence postulate SAS is used to prove that triangle ABC is what type of triangle?
Answer:
triangle ΔABC is an isosceles triangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Given that is both the median and altitude of triangle ABC.
To find : congruence postulate SAS is used to prove that triangle ABC is what type of triangle.
Solution : We have given that both the median and altitude of triangle ABC.
Let AD represent both the median and altitude of triangle ABC.
A median divides the side in two equal parts.
So , BD=BC.
An altitude is a perpendicular drawn .
A perpendicular makes an angle of 90°.
Hence <ADB = <ADC = 90°
AD is the side common to both the triangles ADB and ADC.
Hence, Δ ADB≅ΔADC (SAS congruence postulate).
So AB=AC by c.p .c .t.c(congruent parts of congruent triangles are congruent)
Hence by definition of Isosceles triangle ΔABC is an isosceles triangle.
Therefore, triangle ΔABC is an isosceles triangle.
Consider a rat going through a maze, and each time the rat begins the maze he has 30% chance of finishing successfully. The rat goes through the maze over and over again until he is successful in finishing the maze. Whether or not the rat finishes the maze on one trial has no impact on his chance of finishing the maze on the next trial.
What is the probability that the rat fails the maze 6 times in a row, and then succeeds on his 7th attempt? Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
3.53% probability that the rat fails the maze 6 times in a row, and then succeeds on his 7th attempt
Step-by-step explanation:
For each time that the rat goes through the maze, there are only two possible outcomes. Either he fails it, or he succeds. The trials are independent. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
What is the probability that the rat fails the maze 6 times in a row, and then succeeds on his 7th attempt?
Missing on the first six, each with 70% probability(P(X = 6) when p = 0.7, n = 6).
Succeeding on the 7th attempt, with p = 0.3. So
[tex]P = 0.3P(X = 6)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 6) = C_{6,6}.(0.7)^{6}.(0.3)^{0} = 0.117649[/tex]
[tex]P = 0.3P(X = 6) = 0.3*0.117649 = 0.0353[/tex]
