Answer:

100%

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with x.

x = x/1

Increase the numerator by 60% to 1.6x.

Decrease the numerator by 20% to 0.8.

The new fraction is

1.6x/0.8

Do the division.

1.6x/0.8 = 2x

The fraction increased from x to 2x. It became double of what it was. From x to 2x, the increase is x. Since x was the original number x is 100%.

The increase is 100%.

Answer:

33%

Step-by-step explanation:

let fraction be x/y

numerator increased by 60%

=x+60%ofx

=8x

denominator increased by 20%

=y+20%of y

so the increased fraction is 4x/3y

let the fraction is increased by a%

then

x/y +a%of (x/y)=4x/3y

or, a%of(x/y)=x/3y

[tex]a\% = \frac{x}{3y} \times \frac{y}{x} [/tex]

therefore a=33

anda%=33%

Answer:

The right Riemann sum is 21.5.

The left Riemann sum is 29.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The right Riemann sum (also known as the right endpoint approximation) uses the right endpoints of a sub-interval:

[tex]\int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx\approx\Delta{x}\left(f(x_1)+f(x_2)+f(x_3)+...+f(x_{n-1})+f(x_{n})\right)[/tex], where [tex]\Delta{x}=\frac{b-a}{n}[/tex].

To find the Riemann sum for [tex]\int_{0}^{2}\left(2 x^{2} - 12 x + 22\right)\ dx[/tex] with 4 rectangles, using right endpoints you must:

We have that a = 0, b = 2, n = 4. Therefore, [tex]\Delta{x}=\frac{2-0}{4}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex].

Divide the interval [0,2] into n = 4 sub-intervals of length [tex]\Delta{x}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]:

[tex]\left[0, \frac{1}{2}\right], \left[\frac{1}{2}, 1\right], \left[1, \frac{3}{2}\right], \left[\frac{3}{2}, 2\right][/tex]

Now, we just evaluate the function at the right endpoints:

[tex]f\left(x_{1}\right)=f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=\frac{33}{2}=16.5\\\\f\left(x_{2}\right)=f\left(1\right)=12\\\\f\left(x_{3}\right)=f\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)=\frac{17}{2}=8.5\\\\f\left(x_{4}\right)=f(b)=f\left(2\right)=6[/tex]

Finally, just sum up the above values and multiply by [tex]\Delta{x}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(16.5+12+8.5+6)=21.5[/tex]

The left Riemann sum (also known as the left endpoint approximation) uses the left endpoints of a sub-interval:

[tex]\int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx\approx\Delta{x}\left(f(x_0)+f(x_1)+2f(x_2)+...+f(x_{n-2})+f(x_{n-1})\right)[/tex], where [tex]\Delta{x}=\frac{b-a}{n}[/tex].

To find the Riemann sum for [tex]\int_{0}^{2}\left(2 x^{2} - 12 x + 22\right)\ dx[/tex] with 4 rectangles, using left endpoints you must:

We have that a = 0, b = 2, n = 4. Therefore, [tex]\Delta{x}=\frac{2-0}{4}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex].

Divide the interval [0,2] into n = 4 sub-intervals of length [tex]\Delta{x}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]:

[tex]\left[0, \frac{1}{2}\right], \left[\frac{1}{2}, 1\right], \left[1, \frac{3}{2}\right], \left[\frac{3}{2}, 2\right][/tex]

Now, we just evaluate the function at the left endpoints:

[tex]f\left(x_{0}\right)=f(a)=f\left(0\right)=22\\\\f\left(x_{1}\right)=f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=\frac{33}{2}=16.5\\\\f\left(x_{2}\right)=f\left(1\\\right)=12\\\\f\left(x_{3}\right)=f\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)=\frac{17}{2}=8.5[/tex]

Finally, just sum up the above values and multiply by [tex]\Delta{x}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(22+16.5+12+8.5)=29.5[/tex]

D. 66

Step-by-step explanation:

Well if AD is 100 and AC is 34 that leaves CD so we can just subtraction 34 from 100 and get 66.

Answer:

D. 66

Step-by-step explanation:

AD = 100

AC = 34

The whole line is 100. A part of the line is 34. The other part will be 66.

100 - 34 = 66

Answer:

S is the volume of the small cup, M the volume of the medium cup and L the volume of the large cup:

2*S + 2*M + 4*L = 160oz

2*S + 6*M + 1*L = 160oz

5*S + 1*M + 3*L = 160oz.

First, we must isolate one of the variables, for this we can use the first two equations and get:

2*S + 2*M + 4*L = 160oz = 2*S + 6*M + 1*L

We can cancel 2*S in both sides:

2*M + 4*L = 6*M + 1*L

now each side must have only one variable:

4*L - 1*L = 6*M - 2*M

3*L = 4*M

L = (4/3)*M.

now we can replace it in the equations and get :

2*S + 2*M + 4*(4/3)*M = 160oz

2*S + 6*M + (4/3)*M = 160oz

5*S + 1*M + 4M = 160oz.

simplifing them we have:

2*S + (22/3)*M +  = 160oz

2*S + (22/3)*M  = 160oz

5*S + 5*M  = 160oz.

(the first and second equation are equal because we used those to get the relation of M and L, so we now have only two equations):

2*S + (22/3)*M  = 160oz

5*S + 5*M  = 160oz.

We can take the second equation and simplify it:

S + M = 160oz/5 = 32oz

S = 32oz - M

Now we can replace it in the first equation and solve it for M

2*S + (22/3)*M = 2*(32oz - M) + (22/3)*M = 160oz

62oz - 2*M + (22/3)*M = 160oz

-(6/3)*M + (22/3)*M = 98oz

(18/3)*M = 98oz

M = (3/18)*98oz = 16.33 oz

Then:

L = (4/3)*M =(4/3)*16.33oz = 21.78 oz

and:

S = 32oz - M = 32oz - 16.33oz = 15.67oz

Answer:

the slope of A'B' = 3

A'B' passes through point O

Step-by-step explanation:

A dilation with scale factor 3 gives the effect of stretching the line AB three times longer. As dilation does not change the direction of the line, the slope will stay the same. If point O lies on AB and is the center of dilation, then the point O must also lie on A'B'

The required black space in the statement "The slope of AB is 3. The slope of A1 B1 is___. A1 B1 _____ through point O". is filled by 3 and passes.

Given that,
To Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. AB is dilated by a scale factor of 3 to form A 1 B1. Point O, which lies on AB, is the center of dilation. The slope of AB is 3. The slope of A1 B1 is___. A1 B1 _____ through point O.

The scale factor is defined as the ratio of modified change in length to the original length.

Here, is o is the center of the line AB and slope of line AB is 3 than the line dilated with scale factor 3 A1B1 has also a scale factor of 3 because Position of dilation is center 0 thus dilation did not get any orientation.
And the center of dilation is O so line A1B1 passes through O.

Thus, the required black space in the statement "The slope of AB is 3. The slope of A1 B1 is___. A1 B1 _____ through point O". is filled by 3 and passes.

e. 14.7, say 15 trials

Step-by-step explanation:

Q17070205

Note:  

1. In order to be applicable to established probability distributions, each roll is considered a Bernouilli trial, i.e. has only two outcomes, success or failure, and are all independent of each other.

2. use R to find the probability values from the respective distributions.

a) the chance that the first 6 appears before the tenth roll

This means that a six appears exactly once between the first and the nineth roll.

Using binomial distribution, p=1/6, n=9, x=1

dbinom(1,9,1/6) = 0.34885

b) the chance that the third 6 appears on the tenth roll

This means exactly two six's appear between the first and 9th rolls, and the tenth roll is a six.

Again, we have a binomial distribution of p=1/6, n=9, x=2

p1 = dbinom(2,9,1/6) = 0.27908

The probability of the tenth roll being a 6 is, evidently, p2 = 1/6.

Thus the probability of both happening, by the multiplication rule, assuming independence  

P(third on the tenth roll) = p1*p2 = 0.04651

c) the chance of seeing three 6's among the first ten rolls given that there were six 6's among the first twenty roles.

Again, using binomial distribution, probability of 3-6's in the first 10 rolls,

p1 = dbinom(3,10,1/6) = 0.15504

Probability of 3-6's in the NEXT 10 rolls

p1 = dbinom(3,10,1/6) = 0.15504

Probability of both happening  (multiplication rule, assuming both events are independent)

= p1 *  p1 = 0.02404

d) the expected number of rolls until six 6's appear

Using the negative binomial distribution, the expected number of failures before n=6 successes, with probability p = 1/6

=  n(1-p)/p

Total number of rolls by adding n  

= n(1-p)/p + n = n(1-p+p)/p = n/p = 6/(1/6) = 36

e) the expected number of rolls until all six faces appear

P1 = 6/6 because the firs trial (roll) can be any face with probability 1

P2 = 6/5 because the second trial for a different face has probability 5/6, so requires 6/5 trials

P3 = 6/4 ...

P4 = 6/3

P5 = 6/2

P6 = 6/1

So the total mean (expected) number of trials is 6/6+6/5+6/4+6/3+6/2+6/1 = 14.7, say 15 trials

Answer:

Increasing: [tex](0, 750)[/tex]

Decreasing: [tex](750, \infty)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Critical points:

The critical points of a function f(x) are the values of x for which:

[tex]f'(x) = 0[/tex]

For any value of x, if f'(x) > 0, the function is increasing. Otherwise, if f'(x) < 0, the function is decreasing.

The critical points help us find these intervals.

In this question:

[tex]P(x) = -0.004x^{2} + 6x - 5000[/tex]

So

[tex]P'(x) = -0.008x + 6[/tex]

Critical point:

[tex]P'(x) = 0[/tex]

[tex]-0.008x + 6 = 0[/tex]

[tex]0.008x = 6[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{6}{0.008}[/tex]

[tex]x = 750[/tex]

We have two intervals:

(0, 750) and [tex](750, \infty)[/tex]

(0, 750)

Will find P'(x) when x = 1

[tex]P'(x) = -0.008x + 6 = -0.008*1 + 6 = 5.992[/tex]

Positive, so increasing.

Interval [tex](750, \infty)[/tex]

Will find P'(x) when x = 800

[tex]P'(x) = -0.008x + 6 = -0.008*800 + 6 = -0.4[/tex]

Negative, then decreasing.

Answer:

  1.39 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial position of ship B represent the origin of our coordinate system. Then the position of ship A as a function of time t is ...

  A = -120 +20t . . . (east of the origin)

and the position of B is ...

  B = 15t . . . (north of the origin)

Then the distance between them is ...

  d = √(A² +B²) = √((-120 +20t)² +(15t)²) = √(625t² -4800t +1440)

And the rate of change is ...

  d' = (625t -2400)/√(625t² -4800t +14400)

At t = 4, the rate of change is ...

  d' = (625·4 -2400)/√(625·16 -4800·4 +14400) = 100/√5200 = 1.39 . . . km/h

The distance between the ships is increasing at about 1.39 km/h.

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equality y > -½, it means the values of y is greater than -½.

The values of y would range from 0 upwards. I.e. 0, ½, 1, 1½, 2. . .

Thus, when graphed on a number line, the circle that appears like "o" would start from -½, and the "o" would not be full or shaded to indicate that -½ is not included in the values of y, which are greater than -½. Since the values of y are greater than -½ the direction of the arrow that indicates values of y would point towards our far right, to indicate the values included as y.

Therefore, the graph that indicates the inequality y > ½ is A

Answer:

Dy/Dx=1/√ (2x+3)

Yeah it's correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying differential by chain differentiation method.

The differential of y = √(2x+3) with respect to x

y = √(2x+3)

Let y = √u

Y = u^½

U = 2x +3

The formula for chain differentiation is

Dy/Dx = Dy/Du *Du/Dx

So

Dy/Dx = Dy/Du *Du/Dx

Dy/Du= 1/2u^-½

Du/Dx = 2

Dy/Dx =( 1/2u^-½)2

Dy/Dx= u^-½

Dy/Dx=1/√ u

But u = 2x+3

Dy/Dx=1/√ (2x+3)

we just have to use the Pythagoras theorem and then calculate the value of x and y.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are  2 red and 5 white balls in the box, the total number of balls in the bag = 2+5 = 7balls.

Probability that at least 1 ball was​ red, given that the first ball was replaced before the second can be calculated as shown;

Since at least 1 ball picked at random, was red, this means the selection can either be a red ball first then a white ball or two red balls.

Probability of selecting a red ball first then a white ball with replacement = (2/7*5/7) = 10/49

Probability of selecting two red balls with replacement = 2/7*2/7 = 4/49

The probability that at least 1 ball was​ red given that the first ball was replaced before the second draw= 10/49+4/49 = 14/49

If the balls were not replaced before the second draw

Probability of selecting a red ball first then a white ball without replacement = (2/7*5/6) = 10/42 = 5/21

Probability of selecting two red balls without replacement = 2/7*2/6 = 4/42 = 2/21

The probability that at least 1 ball was​ red given that the first ball was not replaced before the second draw = 5/21+4/21 = 9/21 = 3/7

The probability that at least 1 ball was red, given that the first ball was replaced before the second draw is 28.5%; and the probability that at least 1 ball was red, given that the first ball was not replaced before the second draw is 22.5%.

Since two balls are drawn in succession out of a box containing 2 red and 5 white balls, to find the probability that at least 1 ball was red, given that the first ball was A) replaced before the second draw; and B) not replaced before the second draw; the following calculations must be performed:

Therefore, the probability that at least 1 ball was red, given that the first ball was replaced before the second draw is 28.5%; and the probability that at least 1 ball was red, given that the first ball was not replaced before the second draw is 22.5%.

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

The point of Intersection is the common point between the two curve.

Value of [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex] coordinate  will be equal for both curve at point of intersection

In the equation [tex]y = x^2- 24[/tex], Put the value of [tex]y = 1[/tex].

[tex]1 = x^2-24[/tex]

Rearrange, like and unlike terms:

[tex]25 = x^2[/tex]

[tex]x =[/tex]  ±5

The point of intersection for two curves are:

[tex]x = +5[/tex]  and  [tex]x = -5[/tex]

Integrate the difference between the two curve over the interval [-5,5] to calculate the area.

Area =   [tex]\int\limits^5_{-5} {x^2-24-1} \, dx[/tex]

Simplify,

[tex]= \int\limits^5_{-5} {x^2-25} \, dx[/tex]

Integrate,

[tex]= [\dfrac{1}{3}x^3 - 25x]^{5} _{-5}[/tex]

Put value of limits in [tex]x[/tex] and subtract upper limit from lower limit.

[tex]= [\dfrac{1}{3}(5)^3 - 25(5)] - [\dfrac{1}{3}(-5)^3 - 25(-5)][/tex]

= [tex]= [\dfrac{125}{3} - 125] - [\dfrac{-125}{3} + 125][/tex]

[tex]= [\dfrac{-250}{3}] - [\dfrac{-250}{3}]\\\\\\= \dfrac{-250}{3} + \dfrac{250}{3}\\\\\\[/tex]

[tex]= 0[/tex]

The Area between the two curves is [tex]0[/tex] square  units.

Answer:

a. [tex]N(1)=2600[/tex]

b. [tex]N'(a) = 470/a[/tex]

c. N(a) has no maximum value, max N'(a) = 470 (when a = 1)

d. lim a→[infinity] N′(a) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

the variable 'a' is the amount spent in thousands of dollars, so $1,000 is equivalent to a = 1. Then, we have that:

[tex]N(1)=2600 + 470ln(1)[/tex]

[tex]N(1)=2600 + 470*0[/tex]

[tex]N(1)=2600[/tex]

b.

To find the derivative of N(a), we need to know that the derivative of ln(x) is equal (1/x), and the derivative of a constant is zero. Then, we have:

[tex]N'(a) = 2600' + (470ln(a))'[/tex]

[tex]N'(a) = 0 + 470*(1/a)[/tex]

[tex]N'(a) = 470/a[/tex]

c.

The value of 'ln(a)' increases as the value of 'a' increases from 1 to infinity, so there isn't a maximum value for N(a).

The maximum value of N'(a) is when the value of a is the lower possible, because 'a' is in the denominator, so the maximum value of N'(a) is 470, when a = 1.

d.

When the value of 'a' increases, the fraction '470/a' decreases towards zero, so the limit of N'(a) when 'a' tends to infinity is zero.
