A Norman window has the shape of a rectangle surmounted by a semicircle. If the perimeter of the window is 8 ft, find the value of x so that the greatest possible amount of light is admitted.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: x = 2

If x is the width of the window, the value for x that results in the greatest area-- presumably admitting the greatest amount of light.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial calculations to find a starting value for w.

Determine dimensions that will have a sum of 8 as the perimeter. The length of the arc plus three sides of the rectangle.

The length of the arc is  half the circumference of the circle, the width is the diameter. So, modifying the equation: C= πd,  a = πw/2

Three sides of a rectangle (presumably a square for the initial calculation) 3w

Initial equation: 3w + πw/2 = 8    Substitute 3.14 for π  and solve for w

2(3w) + 2(3.14w/2) = 2(8)   multiply all terms by 2 to eliminate denominator

6w + 3.14w = 16   combine like terms

9.14w  = 16   divide both sides by 9.14

w ≈ 1.75

Calculate the area using this value:

Area of semicircle:  πr²/2   r= 1.75/2  

3.14(.875)²/2 ≈ 1.203

Area of rectangle  1.75 × 1.75 = 3.0625

Total Area with width 1.75  :  4.265 ft²

Increasing the width to 2

The length of the arc becomes 3.14   This is twice the area of the semicircle.

3.14/2 = 1.57

The height of the rectangle reduces to 1.43

1.43 × 2 = 2.86

Total area with width of 2 ft   2.86 + 1.57 = 4.43 ft²

So 2 ft seems to be the optimal width.

Answers

Answer: -1/9

Explanation: Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes.

A negative reciprocal slope is a fancy way of

saying flip the fraction and change the sign.

Notice that our slope is an integer.

We can turn it into a fraction by putting it over 1.

So we have 9/1.

A line perpendicular to this would be a negative reciprocal.

So flip the fraction, giving us 1/9, and change the sign to get -1/9.

Answer:

A

 The correct option is A

B

  The correct option is H

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o  :  \mu_1 - \mu_2 =  6[/tex]

The alternative  hypothesis is  [tex]H_a  :  \mu_1 - \mu_2 \ne  6[/tex]      

The population mean difference is  [tex]\mu_d  =  6[/tex]

Generally the sample size is  n =  15      

Generally the sample mean for input temperature is mathematically represented as

      [tex]\= x _1  = \frac{\sum x_i }{n}[/tex]

=>    [tex]\= x _1  = \frac{57.6 + 68.9 + \cdots +60.4  }{15}[/tex]  

=>    [tex]\= x _1  = 62.57 [/tex]  

Generally the sample mean for output temperature is mathematically represented as

      [tex]\= x _2  = \frac{\sum x_i }{n}[/tex]

=>    [tex]\= x _2  = \frac{65.1+ 74.4 + \cdots +67.3 }{15}[/tex]  

=>    [tex]\= x _2  = 55.97 [/tex]  

Generally the sample mean difference is mathematically represented as

   [tex]\= d = 62.57 - 55.97[/tex]

=>[tex]d = 6.6[/tex]

Generally the standard deviation is mathematically represented as

       [tex]s_d  =  \sqrt{\frac{ \sum [d_1 - \= d]^2}{n-1} }[/tex]

=>    [tex]s_d  =  \sqrt{\frac{ [ [57.6 -65.1]- 6.6]^2 +[68.9 -74.4]- 6.6]^2+\cdots +   [60.4 -67.3]- 6.6]^2}{15-1} }[/tex]

=>     [tex]s_d  = 1.732 [/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

      [tex]t =  \frac{6.6  - 6 }{\frac{1.732}{\sqrt{15} } }[/tex]

=>   [tex]t = 1.342 [/tex]

Generally the degree of freedom is mathematically represented as

    [tex]df  = n -  1[/tex]

So

      [tex]df  =  15  -  2[/tex]

=>    [tex]df  =  14[/tex]

Generally the p-value  is mathematically represented as

     [tex]p-value  = 2 *  P(t >  1.342 )[/tex]

Generally from the t -distribution table the probability of 1.342 at a degree of freedom of  [tex]df  =  28[/tex] is  

       [tex]P(t >  1.342 ) = 0.10047[/tex]

So

     [tex]p-value  = 2 * 0.10047[/tex]

=>   [tex]p-value  = 0.201[/tex]

Generally from the value  obtained we see that [tex]p-value  > \alpha[/tex] Hence

Research shows that many banks are unwittingly training their online customers to take risks with their passwords and other sensitive account information, leaving them more vulnerable to fraud (Yahoo, July 23, 2008). Even web-savvy surfers could find themselves the victims of identity theft because they have been conditioned to ignore potential signs about whether the banking site they are visiting is real or a bogus site served up by hackers. Researchers at the University of Michigan found design flaws in 78% of the 214 U.S. financial institution websites they studied.

Answers

Answer:

Decision rule

Fail to reject the null  hypothesis

Conclusion

The sample evidence is not sufficient to conclude that more than three out of four financial institutions that offer online banking facilities are prone to fraud.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The sample size is  n =  214

   The sample proportion is p = 0.78

   The level of significance is [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Generally the population proportion is mathematically represented as

      [tex]p = \frac{3}{4} =0.75[/tex] (gotten from the statement  ''three out of four'' in the question)

The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : p = 0.75[/tex]

The alternative hypothesis [tex]H_a : p > 0.75[/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

     [tex]z = \frac{\^{p} - p}{ \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } }[/tex]

=>    [tex]z = \frac{0.78- 0.75}{ \sqrt{\frac{ 0.75(1-0.75)}{214} } }[/tex]

=>  [tex]z = 1.01[/tex]

Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

    [tex]p-value  = P(Z > z )[/tex]

=> [tex]p-value  = P(Z > 1.01 )[/tex]

From the z-table  

    [tex]P(Z > 1.01 ) = 0.15625[/tex]

So

    [tex]p-value  = 0.15625 [/tex]

From the obtained values we see that [tex]p-value > \alpha[/tex] hence we fail to reject the null hypothesis

 Therefore we can conclude that the sample evidence is  not  sufficient to conclude that more than three out of four financial institutions that offer online banking facilities are prone to fraud.

Let us see how we can solve this step by step each :

6417 ÷ 31 , we divide 64 by 31 and get the resulting quotient as 2 .

Then we bring down 1 . So , the number below is 21 , which cannot be divided by 31 .

So , we will have to bring down 7 for which we have to add a 0 to the quotient . Then the quotient will become 20 as of now .

As 217 is divisible by 3 , I put seven near 21 , making the quotient as 217 and get the remainder 0 .

Hence in the correct solution the correct quotient = 207 .

In Xavier's solution :

But the same thing has not been done in Xavier's solution as he has put a 0 after 7 instead of putting it before 7 . Hence , Xavier's mistake is that he put the 0 after 7 instead of putting it before 7 .

In Xavier's solution the quotient is = 270

Therefore , Xavier's mistake is that he put the 0 after 7 instead of putting it before 7 .

Option B has more, if you want to have mathematical work just set each of the square side lengths to 1. In the first figure, you have 4 units square for each square so 2 units sq on the first and 4 on the second. Then since the other shapes are half circles or 1/4 circles we can put them together to get full and partial circles. The first shape had 2 full circles and the second shape has 1.5. SO using 1 as the radius, you get 3.14 units sq per circle. Leaving you with (circles) 6.28 + (squares) 2 leaving you with 8.28 units sq for figure 1 and (circles) 4.71  + (squares) 4 leaving you with 8.71 for figure 2. This leaves you with a .43 difference.

Sasha throws a dart at the dartboard that land at point 10.25 Feet from the left wall and 5 feet above the floor. Does Sasha’s dart land on the dartboard? Drag the choices into the boxes to correctly complete the statements.

Answers

Answer:

Hello! I'm sorry I couldn't get to your question sooner. I just completed this quiz!

The equation of the circle that represents the dartboard is (x-10)^2 + (y-17/3)^2 = 9/16, where the origin is the lower-left corner of the room and the unit of the radius is feet.  

The position of Sasha's dart is represented by the coordinates (10.25,5). Sash's dart does land on the dartboard.

This quiz was completed on k12, lesson 3.03.

The question is an illustration of equation of circles.

The equation of the dartboard circle is: [tex]\mathbf{(x - 10)^2 + (y - \frac{17}3)^2 = \frac 9{16}}[/tex]Sasha's dart lands on the dartboard because

From the question, we understand that:

[tex]\mathbf{h = 5\ ft\ 8\ in }[/tex] ---- the height at which the dartboard was hung

[tex]\mathbf{d = 18\i n }[/tex] ---- the diameter of the dartboard

[tex]\mathbf{B = 10ft}[/tex]  --- the bull's eye

[tex]\mathbf{D = (10.25ft, 5ft)}[/tex] --- Sasha's dart

Equation of the circle

First, we convert all units to feet

This is done by dividing inches units by 12

[tex]\mathbf{h = 5\ ft\ 8\ in }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{h = 5\ ft\ + \frac{8}{12}\ ft }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{h = 5\ ft\ + \frac{2}{3}\ ft }[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]\mathbf{h = \frac{15 + 2}{3}\ ft }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{h = \frac{17}{3}\ ft }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{d = 18\i n }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{d = \frac{18}{12}ft}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{d = \frac{3}{2}ft}[/tex]

Divide by 2 to calculate radius

[tex]\mathbf{r = \frac{3}{2*2}ft}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{r = \frac{3}{4}ft}[/tex]

The equation of the circle is represented as:

[tex]\mathbf{(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2}[/tex]

In this case:

[tex]\mathbf{a = B = 10ft}[/tex] -- the distance between the bull's eye and the wall

[tex]\mathbf{b = h = \frac{17}{3}\ ft }[/tex] ---- the height at which the dartboard was hung

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{(x - 10)^2 + (y - \frac{17}3)^2 = (\frac 34)^2}[/tex]

Evaluate the exponents

[tex]\mathbf{(x - 10)^2 + (y - \frac{17}3)^2 = \frac 9{16}}[/tex]

Hence, the equation of the circle is: [tex]\mathbf{(x - 10)^2 + (y - \frac{17}3)^2 = \frac 9{16}}[/tex]

Does Sasha’s dart land on the dartboard?

Yes her dart lands on the dartboard because

O The flow rate of the large tank is -10 gal/min, and the flow rate of the small tank is 10 gal/min.

The flow rate of the large tank is 20 gal/min, and the flow rate of the small tank is -20 gal/min.

The flow rate of the large tank is -20 gal/min, and the flow rate of the small tank is 20 gal/min.

Save and Exit

Answers

Answer:

D. The flow rate of the large tank is -20 gal/min, and the flow rate of the small tank is 20 gal/min.

Step-by-step explanation:

Flow rate = [tex]\frac{gallons of water}{minute}[/tex]

flow rate of water in the big tank = [tex]\frac{300}{5}[/tex]

                         = 60 gallons/minute

flow rate in the smaller tank = [tex]\frac{200}{5}[/tex]

                          = 40 gallons/minute

The difference in flow rate between the tanks = 60 - 40

                          = 20 gallons/minute

Since the two tanks have the same amount of water after the given time, then the volume of water in the large tank decrease; while the volume of water in the small tank increased.

Therefore, the flow rate of the large tank is -20 gal/min, and the flow rate of the small tank is 20 gal/min. This shows that option D is correct.
