Use linear approximation, i.e. the tangent line, to approximate √16.4 as follows: Let f(x)=√x. Find the equation of the tangent line

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]L(x)=\frac{1}{8}x+2\\ L(16.4)=4.05[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a tangent line of f(x) in the point (a,f(a)) can be calculated as:

L(x) = f(a) + f'(a)(x-a)

Where L(x) is also call a linear approximation and f'(a) is the value of the derivative of f(x) in (a,f(a)).

So, the derivative of f(x) is:

[tex]f(x)=\sqrt{x} \\f'(x)=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x} }[/tex]

Then, to find the linear approximation we are going to use the point (16, f(16)). So a is 16 and f(a) and f'(a) are calculated as:

[tex]f(16)=\sqrt{16}=4\\f'(16)=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{16} }=\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Then, replacing the values, we get that the equation of the tangent line in (16,4) is:

[tex]L(x)=4+\frac{1}{8}(x-16)\\L(x) = \frac{1}{8}x+2[/tex]

Finally, the approximation for [tex]\sqrt{16.4}[/tex] is:

[tex]L(16.4)=\frac{1}{8}(16.4)+2\\ L(16.4)=4.05[/tex]

A certain radioactive isotope has a half-life of approximately 111 years . How many years would be required for a given amount of this isotope decay to 25% of tha

Answers

Answer:

222 years

Step-by-step explanation:

25% = 0.25

This radio active isotope have a half time if 111 years.

It means for every 111 years it decays to the half of the amount of it's substance present.

So in the first 111 years it will decay to it's half of the initial= 0.5

In another 111 year it will decay to another 0.5 of the present 0.5

That is, it will decay 0.5*0.5 = 0.25 if the original substance.

So I will take 111+111 = 222 years for the substance to decay to 0.25 or 25% of its original substance.

Answers

I’m guessing you meant central tendency.

I’d say the mean is the best measure for period 2. This is because it doesn’t have any extremely low or high values which could distort the mean value.

If it did ie. 8, then I would choose median as it is less affected by anomalous results

an item is on sale at 40% off the regular price. it is tax at a rate of 6%. if the final sale price including tax is 50.88 then what is the sale price of the item without tax what was regular price

the sale price of the item without tax was



the regular price of the item is​

Answers

Answer:

$48, $80

Step-by-step explanation:

$50.88 is the price including tax and the discount. The discount is applied first. Then the tax is applied.

The tax is 6%, so $50.88 is 106% of the discounted price.

$50.88/1.06 = $48

$48 is the discounted price.

The discount is 40% of the original price, so the pre-tax discounted price is 60% of the original price.

$48/0.6 = $80

The original price was $80

Answers

Answer:

given,

selling price (sp)=rs 5 ×30

=rs 150

now, gain %=20%

cost price (cp)=

[tex] \frac{sp \times 100}{100 + gain\%} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{150 \times 100}{100 + 20} [/tex]

therefore cp= rs125

now,

again in 2nd case

sp= rs 27×5

therefore sp=rs 135

and cp= rs125

now, sp>cp so,

[tex]gain\% = \frac{sp - cp}{cp} \times 100\%[/tex]

or, gain=

Consider the following results for two independent random samples taken from two populations.
Sample 1 Sample 2
n1 = 50 n2 = 35
X1 = 13.6 X2 = 11.6
1 = 2.2 1 = 3.0
1. What is the point estimate of the difference between the two population means?
2. Provide a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means (to 2 decimals).
3. Provide a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means (to 2 decimals).

Answers

Answer:

1. Point estimate Md = 2

2. The 90% confidence interval for the difference between means is (1.01, 2.99).

3. The 95% confidence interval for the difference between means is (0.82, 3.18).

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The point estimate of the difference between the two population means is the difference between sample means:  

[tex]M_d=M_1-M_2=13.6-11.6=2[/tex]

2. We have to calculate a 90% confidence interval for the difference between means.

The sample 1, of size n1=50 has a mean of 13.6 and a standard deviation of 2.2.

The sample 2, of size n2=35 has a mean of 11.6 and a standard deviation of 3.

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

[tex]s_{M_d}=\sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1}+\dfrac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{2.2^2}{50}+\dfrac{3^2}{35}}\\\\\\s_{M_d}=\sqrt{0.097+0.257}=\sqrt{0.354}=0.5949[/tex]

The degrees of freedom for this confidence interval are:

[tex]df=n_1+n_2-2=50+35-2=83[/tex]

The critical t-value for a 90% confidence interval is t=1.663.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

[tex]MOE=t\cdot s_{M_d}=1.663 \cdot 0.5949=0.99[/tex]

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

[tex]LL=M_d-t \cdot s_{M_d} = 2-0.99=1.01\\\\UL=M_d+t \cdot s_{M_d} = 2+0.99=2.99[/tex]

The 90% confidence interval for the difference between means is (1.01, 2.99).

2. We have to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the difference between means.

The critical t-value for a 95% confidence interval and 83 degrees of freedom is t=1.989.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

[tex]MOE=t\cdot s_{M_d}=1.989 \cdot 0.5949=1.18[/tex]

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

[tex]LL=M_d-t \cdot s_{M_d} = 2-1.18=0.82\\\\UL=M_d+t \cdot s_{M_d} = 2+1.18=3.18[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval for the difference between means is (0.82, 3.18).

Triangle ABC is drawn inside regular hexagon ABCDEF. What is the ratio of the area of triangle ABC to the area of the hexagon?

Answers

The sides of the regular hexagon ABCDEF can be posed as a. If so, the area of ABCDEF should be 6 times the are of the interior angle in the hexagon, considering there are 6 equilateral triangle that can fit in this regular hexagon,

Area =  6( a * a * sin 60 ) / 2,

Area = ( About ) 2.6 sq units

Now applying cosine for triangle ABC -

AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2 – ( 2*AB*BC*cos 120 ),

a^2 + a^2 – ( 2a^2 * ( - 0.5 ) ) = a^2 + a^2+a^2 =3a^2,

AC = a√3

The area of ABC should thus be the following -

( a√3 * a√3 * sin 60 )/2 = 1.299038106 sq units

As you can see, the area of ABC is half the area of ABCDEF, thus the ratio of the area of ABC to ABCDEF is 1 : 2

A metal alloy is 27% copper. Another metal alloy is 52% copper. How much of each should be used to make 22 g of an alloy that is 36.09% copper?

Answers

Answer:

14.0008 grams of 27% and 7.9992 grams of 52%

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that in the end we want 22 grams of 36.09% copper, meaning in the end we want 36.09% of the 22 grams to be copper. This means we can multiply 36.09% by 22 to see how much copper we want in the end.

To find out how much of each alloy to use, we can multiply the percentage of copper in the alloy be a variable x, which will be how much of that alloy we use. For the other alloy, we can multiply the percentage by (22-x) grams as we know in the end we want 22 grams and if x+y=22, than y would equal 22-x, and in this case this simplifies it to only use a single variable.

Now finally, making the equation we get 27x+52(22-x)=36.09(22). We can solve this and get 27x+1144-52x=793.98, then combine like terms and get -25x+1144=793.98. Next you have to subtract 1144 from both sides to get -25x=-350.02. Dividing both sides by -25 we get x=14.0008. This is how many grams of 27% copper was used. Now we can subtract this from 22 to get how much 52% copper was used, and we get 22-14.0008=7.9992 grams of 52% copper.

Vector A has components (5,6) and vector B has components (-12, 3). What is the direction of the vector C

Answers

Question:

Vector A has components (5,6) and vector B has components (-12, 3). What is the direction of the vector C = 2A - B

Answer:

22.24° to the positive x-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given vectors:

A (5, 6)

B (-12, 3)

C = 2A - B             ------------(i)

First let's represent the two vectors in unit notation as follows;

A = 5 i + 6 j

B = -12 i + 3 j

Now substitute these vectors into equation (i) as follows;

C = 2(5 i + 6 j) - (-12 i + 3 j)

C = 2(5 i + 6 j) + (12 i - 3 j)

C = 10 i + 12 j + 12 i - 3 j                   [collect like terms]

C = 10 i + 12 i + 12 j - 3 j

C = 22 i + 9 j                         ----------------(ii)

The direction, θ, of vector C can be calculated as follows;

θ = tan⁻¹([tex]\frac{9}{22}[/tex])

θ = tan⁻¹(0.409)

θ = 22.24°

Since both the x and y components of vector C are positive, the direction of the vector is 22.24° to the positive x-axis.
