Answers

The set the describes the domain of P(h) is (b)  {h| 0 ≤ h ≤ 60}

How to determine the domain?

In this case, the domain represents the set of hours he is permitted to work

From the question, we understand that he cannot work more than 60 hours

This means that, the least number of hours to work is 0, and the highest is 60

So, the domain is 0 to 60

When represented properly, the domain of P(h) is (b)  {h| 0 ≤ h ≤ 60}

The cost of a diamond varies as the square of its weight. A diamond weighing 20 decigrams costs Rs. 4,800. Find the cost of a diamond of the same kind weighing 8 decigrams.​

Answers

Answer:

768

Step-by-step explanation:

let C represent cost and w weight, then the equation relating them is

C = kw² ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition w = 20, C = 4800, that is

4800 = k × 20² = 400k ( divide both sides by 400 )

12 = k

C = 12w² ← equation of variation

When w = 8, then

C = 12 × 8² = 12 × 64 = 768

Answers

Answer:  A) 7 real zeros and 6 turning points at 0, 2, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x⁷ - 6x⁶ + 8x⁵

The degree (largest exponent) is 7 so the maximum number of real zeros is 7.

Factor out x⁵

x⁵(x² - 6x + 8)

Factor the quadratic

x⁵(x - 2)(x - 4)

Set each factor equal to 0 and solve for x

x⁵ = 0         --> x = 0  (multiplicity of 5)

x - 2 = 0     --> x = 2

x - 4 = 0     --> x = 4

A small plane and a large plane are 6.8km from each other, at the same altitude (height). From an observation tower, the two airplanes are separated by an angle of 58°. The large plane is 5.2km from the observation tower. a. Draw a diagram to represent this situation. b. How far is the small plane from the observation tower, to the nearest tenth of a kilometer?

Answers

Answer:

7.9km

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)See attached for the diagram representing this situation.

(b)

In Triangle ABC

[tex]\text{Using Law of Sines}\\\dfrac{\sin A}{a}=\dfrac{\sin C}{c} \\\dfrac{\sin A}{5.2}=\dfrac{\sin 58^\circ}{6.8} \\\sin A=5.2 \times \dfrac{\sin 58^\circ}{6.8}\\A=\arcsin (5.2 \times \dfrac{\sin 58^\circ}{6.8})\\A=40.43^\circ[/tex]

Next, we determine the value of Angle B.

[tex]\angle A+\angle B+\angle C=180^\circ\\40.43+58+\angle B=180^\circ\\\angle B=180^\circ-(40.43+58)\\\angle B=81.57^\circ[/tex]

Finally, we find b.

[tex]\text{Using Law of SInes}\\\dfrac{b}{\sin B}=\dfrac{c}{\sin C} \\\dfrac{b}{\sin 81.57^\circ}=\dfrac{6.8}{\sin 58^\circ} \\b=\dfrac{6.8}{\sin 58^\circ} \times \sin 81.57^\circ\\b=7.9km $ (to the nearest tenth of a kilometer)[/tex]

A given line has the equation .

What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the point (0, 9)?




Answers

Answer:

y-6x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete answer.

A given line has the equation 2x + 12y = −1.

What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the point (0, 9)?

General formula of equation of a line is exspressed as y = mx+c

m = gradient or slope  

c = intercept

Step 1: we need to first get the slope of the given equation of a line by rewriting the equation in standard form y = mx+c

2x + 12y = −1

12y = -1-2x

y = -1/12-2x/12

y = -1/6 x - 1/12

From the equation above, it can be seen that the slope (m) of tghe line is -1/6.

Since both lines are perpendicular, the slope of the unknown line will be;

M = -1/m

M = -1/(-1/6)

M = 6

Step 2: We will find the intercept c by substituting the point (0,9) and the slope into the equation y = mx+c

9 = 6(0)+ c

c = 9

Stwp 3: We will find the equation of the line perpendicular to the given line by substituting the value of m and c into the equation y = mx+c

y = 6x+9

y-6x = 9

The equation in slope-intercept form, of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the point (0, 9) is y-6x = 9

Answer:

y-6x=9

A person is selected at random. What is the probability that this person doesn't use any facility?

Answers

Answer:

P = 11/135 = 0.0815

Step-by-step explanation:

we can said that:

14 people use all three facilities18 people use just gym and track (32 people use the gym and the track less the 14 people that use all three facilities)21 people use just pool and track (35 people use the pool and the track less the 14 people that use all three facilities)22 people use just gym and pool (36 people use the gym and the pool less the 14 people that use all three facilities)14 people use just the track (67 people use the track less the 18 people that use just the gym and the track, the 21 people that use just the pool and the track and 14 people that use all three facilities)16 people use just the pool (73 people use the swimming pool less the  the 21 people that use just the pool and the track, the 22 people that use just the gym and the pool and 14 people that use all three facilities)19 people use just the gym (73 people use the gym less the 18 people that use just the gym and the track, the 22 people that use just the gym and the pool and 14 people that use all three facilities)

So, there are 124 people that use the gym, the pool or the track. This is calculated using the information above as:

14 + 18 + 21 + 22 + 14 + 16 + 19 = 124

Finally, there are 11 ( 135 - 124 = 11 ) people that don't use any facility, so the probability that a person doesn't use any facility is:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

AGE (X) - - - - - - - 19 - -20 - - - 21 - - - 22 - - - 23

FREQUENCY (F) - 2 - - 3 - - - - 1 - - - - 4 - - - - 1

A)

MEAN(X) = [AGE(X) × FREQUENCY (F)] ÷ SUM OF FREQUENCY

F*X = [(19 * 2) + (20 * 3) + ( 21 * 1)+(22 * 4)+(23 * 1)]

= 38 + 60 +21 + 88 + 23 = 230

SUM OF FREQUENCY = 2 + 3 + 1 + 4 + 1= 11

MEAN(X) = 230 / 11

X = 20.9

B)

WHEN A NEW PLAYER WAS ADDED :

MEAN (X) = 22

Let age of new player = y

Sum of Ages = 19 + 19 +20 + 20 + 20 + 21 + 22 + 22 + 22 + 22 + 23 + y

Number of players = 11 + 1 = 12

Mean(x) = sum of ages / number of players

New mean (x) = 22

x = (230 + y) / 12

22 = (230 + y) / 12

Cross multiply

264 = 230 + y

y = 264 - 230

y = 34 years

A principal of $2000 is placed in a savings account at 3% per annum compounded annually. How much is in the account after one year, two years and three years?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

After one year

A=p(1+r/n)^nt

=2000(1+0.03/12)^12*1

=2000(1+0.0025)^12

=2000(1.0025)^12

=2000(1.0304)

=$2060.8

After two-years

A=p(1+r/n)^nt

=2060.8(1+0.03/12)^12*2

=2060.8(1+0.0025)^24

=2060.8(1.0025)^24

=2060.8(1.0618)

=$2188.157

After three years

A=p(1+r/n)^nt

=2188.157(1+0.03/12)^12*3

=2188.157(1+0.0025)^36

=2188.157(1.0025)^36

=2188.157(1.0941)

=$2394.063

Amount in account after one year, two and three years are respectively  $2,060 , $2,121.8 and $2,185.45

Given:

Principal amount = $2,000

Rate of interest = 3% = 0.03

 

Amount in account after one year

A = P(1+r)ⁿ

A = 2,000(1+0.03)¹

A = 2,000(1.03)¹

A = 2,000(1.03)

A = $2,060

Amount in account after two year

A = P(1+r)ⁿ

A = 2,000(1+0.03)²

A = 2,000(1.03)²

A = 2,000(1.0609)

A = $2,121.8

Amount in account after three year

A = P(1+r)ⁿ

A = 2,000(1+0.03)³

A = 2,000(1.03)³

A = 2,000(1.092727)

A = $2,185.45

Answers

Answer:

Slope = [tex]-\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

y-intercept = 2

Equation of the line 't': [tex]y=-\frac{3}{4}x+2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of a line passing through two points [tex](x_1, y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2, y_2)[/tex] is represented by,

Slope 'm' = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Since line 't' is passing through two points (0, 2) and (8, -4),

Slope of the line 't' = [tex]\frac{2+4}{0-8}[/tex]

                           m = [tex]-\frac{6}{8}[/tex]

                           m = [tex]-\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Since y-intercept of a line is the value of 'y' for x = 0 [from point (0, 2) lying on this line]

Therefore, Y-intercept of line 't' = 2

Slope intercept of an equation is,

y = mx + b

where m = slope of the line

b = y-intercept

Therefore, equation of the line 't' will be,

[tex]y=-\frac{3}{4}x+2[/tex]

The above phrase can be written as,

y = -x + 3

Calculate the slope as shown below,

Slope = -1

The x-intercept can be calculated as,

0 = -x + 3  (y is zero at the x-axis)

x = 3

The x-intercept can be calculated as,

y = 0 + 3 (y is zero at the x-axis)

y = 3

2/3y + 15 = 9
What are the steps for this question

Answers

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3y + 15 = 9

Subtract 15 from each side

2/3y + 15-15 = 9-15

2/3y = -6

Multiply each side by 3/2 to isolate y

3/2 * 2/3y = -6 *3/2

y = -9

Answer:

y = - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3y + 15 = 9

Subtract 15 on both sides.

2/3y = 9 - 15

2/3y = - 6

Multiply both sides by 3/2.

y = - 6 × 3/2

y = -18/2

Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the data set ...

Answers

Answer:

Mean: 12.9

Standard deviation: 14.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is calculated adding all of the values and dividing by the number of elements:

[tex]m=\frac{2+3+7+12+1+4+27+49+11}{9}=\frac{116}{9}=12.9[/tex]

to find the standard deviation, we first find the variance (which is defined as the sum of all the elements subtracting the mean and squared and then dividing by the total amount of elements):

[tex]v=\frac{(2-12.9)^2+(3-12.9)^2+(7-12.9)^2+(12-12.9)^2+(1-12.9)^2+(4-12.9)^2+(27-12.9)^2+(49-12.9)^2+(11-12.9)^2}{9}\\[/tex]

[tex]v=\frac{1978.89}{9}\\[/tex]

[tex]v=219.88[/tex]

Noe that we have the variance, we can calculate the standard deviation.

The stardard deviation is defined as the squared root of the variance:

[tex]standardDeviation=\sqrt{v}[/tex]

we substitute the variance:

[tex]standardDeviation=\sqrt{219.88} \\standardDeviation=14.8[/tex]

Thus, the answer is:

Mean: 12.9

Standard deviation: 14.8

Answer:

Length is 11.052cm

Width is 3.684cm

Height is 7.386cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length be x, width y and height Z

Width (y) = X/3 , height (z) = 2x /3

volume =xyz

volume = x(x/3)(2/3)x

Volume = (2/9)x³

But Volume =300

300= (2/9)x³

300/(2/9) = x³ (make x³ the subject to find x )

1350 = x³

x=3√(1350)

x=11.052cm

Length is 11.052cm

Width = x/3 =11.052 /3

= 3.684cm

Height = 2x/3 = 2(11.052) /3

= 7.368cm

You can check it by multiplying LWH to see if you get 300 (the volume)
