Answers

Answer 1

The z-value for 29 and 34 hours is z(32) = 0, the garages take between 32 hours and 34 hours to erect 34%, the garages take between 29 hours and 34 hours to erect 77.45%, and the garages, 5% take 35.29 hours of time.

What is Z -score?

A Z-score is defined as the fractional representation of data point to the mean using standard deviations.

Weston Materials, Inc., a national manufacturer of detached garages, states that erecting the Red Barn type takes two construction workers a mean of 32 hours and a standard variation of 2 hours. Assume that the assembly times are distributed normally.

Calculating the z values for 29 and 34 hours.

z(29) = (29-32)/2 = -3/2

z(34) = (34-32)/2 = 1

z(32) = 0

The percentage of garages take between 32 hours and 34 hours to erect as:

⇒ P(32 < x < 34) = P(0< z < 1) = 0.34

The percentage of garages take between 29 hours and 34 hours to erect as:

⇒ P(29 < x < 34) = P(-1.5 < z < 1) = 0.7745

The percentage of garages take 28.7 hours to erect as:

⇒ z(28.7) = (28.7-32)/2 = -3.3

⇒ P(0 < x < 28.7) = P (-10 < z < -3.3) = 0.00048348...

The z-value corresponds to a 95% left area and only

5% to the right under the curve.

Use z-chart or InvNor(0.95) = 1.645

x-value that corresponds to the z-value.

1.645 = (x-32)/2

x-32 = 2×1.645

x = 35.29 hours

2x + 8 = -4 I NEED ALL PLS

Answers

Answer:

Answer down below!

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's write out the equation!

2x + 8 = -4

To solve this, you have to subtract the 8 and bring it over to -4

That would look something like:

2x -(+8) = -4 -8

That leaves you with 2x = -12

Now you divide 2 and -12 which will give you

-6

Answer:X= - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

MOVE +8 to the right which would make it negative so -8-4.You would add both numbers which would be -12 and then u divide -12 with 2 so

The results of the operation of multiplication between two functions are, respectively:

2 · x³ + 12 · x² + 24 · x + 16 x⁴ + 4 · x³ - 16 · x - 16 - 32 2 · x³ + 12 · x² + 24 · x + 16 x⁴ + 4 · x³ - 16 · x - 16 2 · x³ - 4 · x² - 8 · x - 16 - 27

How to find the product of two functions

According to function theory, there are five operations between two functions to create resulting functions:

Addition - f(x) + g(x) = (f + g) (x).Subtraction - f(x) - g(x) = (f - g) (x).Multiplication - f(x) · g(x) = (f · g) (x).Division - f(x) / g(x) = (f / g) (x).

In this problem we must use the operation of multiplication between two functions.

Case 1

(f · g)(x) = (2 · x + 4) · (x² + 4 · x + 4)

(f · g)(x) = (2 · x + 4) · x² + 4 · (2 · x + 4) · x + 4 · (2 · x + 4)

(f · g)(x) = 2 · x³ + 4 · x² + 8 · x² + 16 · x + 8 · x + 16

(f · g)(x) = 2 · x³ + 12 · x² + 24 · x + 16

Case 2

(h · g)(x) = (x² - 4) · (x² + 4 · x + 4)

(h · g)(x) = (x² - 4) · x² + (x² - 4) · (4 · x) + (x² - 4) · 4

(h · g)(x) = x⁴ - 4 · x² + 4 · x³ - 16 · x + 4 · x² - 16

(h · g)(x) = x⁴ + 4 · x³ - 16 · x - 16

Case 3

(f · h)(x) = (2 · x + 4) · (x² - 4)

(f · h)(x) = 2 · x³ - 8 · x + 4 · x² - 16

(f · h)(x) = 2 · x³ - 4 · x² - 8 · x - 16

(f · h)(2) = 2 · 2³ - 4 · 2² - 8 · 2 - 16

(f · h)(2) = - 32

Case 4

(g · f)(x) = (x² + 4 · x + 4) · (2 · x + 4)

(g · f)(x) = 2 · x³ + 12 · x² + 24 · x + 16

Case 5

(g · h)(x) = (x² + 4 · x + 4) · (x² - 4)

(g · h)(x) = x⁴ + 4 · x³ - 16 · x - 16

Case 6

(f · h)(x) = (2 · x + 4) · (x² - 4)

(f · h)(x) = 2 · x³ - 4 · x² - 8 · x - 16

Case 7

(h · g)(x) = (x² - 4) · (x² + 4 · x + 4)

(h · g)(x) = x⁴ + 4 · x³ - 16 · x - 16

(h · g)(1) = 1⁴ + 4 · 1³ - 16 · 1 - 16

(h · g)(1) = - 27

A biologist is studying the growth of a particular species of algae. She writes the following equation to show the radius of the algae, f(d), in mm, after d days:

f(d) = 7(1.06)d

Part A: When the biologist concluded her study, the radius of the algae was approximately 13.29 mm. What is a reasonable domain to plot the growth function? (4 points)

Part B: What does the y-intercept of the graph of the function f(d) represent? (2 points)

Part C: What is the average rate of change of the function f(d) from d = 4 to d = 11, and what does it represent? (4 points)

Answers

From the given function, it is found that:

a. A reasonable domain for the function is of 0 ≤ d ≤ 11.

b. The y-intercept of the graph represents that the initial radius of the algae is of 7 mm.

c. The average rate of change between the 4th and the 11th day of the function means that the radius of the algae grew by an average of 0.64 mm a day.

What does the function represent?

The function is modeled according to the following rule:

f(d) = 7(1.06)^d

In which:

d is the number of days.f is the radius of the algae.

When the biologist concluded her study, the radius of the algae was approximately 13.29 mm, hence the upper bound of the domain is found as follows:

[tex]13.29 = 7(1.06)^d[/tex]

[tex](1.06)^d = \frac{13.29}{7}[/tex]

[tex]\log{(1.06)^d} = \log{\left(\frac{13.29}{7}\right)}[/tex]

[tex]d\log{1.06} = \log{\left(\frac{13.29}{7}\right)}[/tex]

[tex]d = \frac{\log{\left(\frac{13.29}{7}\right)}}{\log{1.06}}[/tex]

d = 11.

The smallest possible number of days is of 11, hence a reasonable domain for the function is:

0 ≤ d ≤ 11.

The y-intercept of the graph represents that the initial radius of the algae, as it is calculated when d = 0, hence it's value is given by:

[tex]f(0) = 7(1.06)^0 = 7[/tex]

The average rate of change of a function is given by the change in the output divided by change in the input, hence:

[tex]f(11) = 7(1.06)^{11} = 13.29[/tex][tex]f(4) = 7(1.06)^{4} = 8.84[/tex]

r = (13.29 - 8.84)/(11 - 4) = 0.64 mm a day.

chegg a 12 ft ladder is leaning against a wall. if the top of the ladder slides down the wall at a rate of 4 ft/s, how fast (in ft/s) is the bottom moving along the ground when the bottom of the ladder is 6 ft from the wall?

Answers

The bottom is moving at a rate of [tex]4\sqrt{3}[/tex] ft/s along the ground when the botton of the ladder is at a distance of 6 ft from the wall.

Here we have been mentioned that a 12 feet ladder is leaning against the wall which is represened by AC in the below given triangle.

We have AB = y = distance of top of the ladder from the wall

BC = x = distance of bottom of the ladder from the wall

AC = z = height of the ladder = 12 ft (given)

The top of the ladder AB is sliding down at a rate of 4 [tex]ft/s[/tex]

∴ [tex]\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex] = - 4 ft/s (negative sign indicates that the top is sliding downwards)

Let the rate at which the bottom of the ladder is sliding be [tex]\frac{dx}{dt}[/tex]

Now in the right angled triangle [tex]ABC[/tex] by using Pythagoras theorem we have,

[tex]AB^{2} + BC^{2} =[/tex][tex]AC^{2}[/tex]

[tex]y^{2} +x^{2} = z^{2}[/tex]    (equation 1)

When x = 6ft and z = 12 ft,

[tex]y^{2} +6^{2} = 12^{2}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]y^{2} = 144 - 36[/tex]

⇒ [tex]y^{2} = 108[/tex]

⇒ y = √108

⇒ y = 6 √3 ft

Differentiating equation 1 with respect to [tex]time[/tex] we get,

[tex]\frac{d}{dt} (y^{2} +x^{2} ) = \frac{d}{dt} (z^{2})[/tex]

⇒ 2y[tex]\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex] + 2x[tex]\frac{dx}{dt}[/tex] = 2z[tex]\frac{dz}{dt}[/tex]

Putting the values of dz/dt = 0 (as the height is constant) , dy/dt = - 4 ft/s , y = 6 √3 ft, x = 6ft and z = 12ft we have,

∴ 2(6√3) (-4) + 2(6)[tex]\frac{dx}{dt}[/tex] = 2(12)(0)

⇒ -48√3 + 12[tex]\frac{dx}{dt}[/tex] = 0

⇒ 12[tex]\frac{dx}{dt}[/tex] = 48√3

⇒ [tex]\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{48\sqrt{3} }{12}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\frac{dx}{dt} = 4\sqrt{3}[/tex] ft/s

Hence the rate at which the bottom of the ladder is sliding is [tex]\frac{dx}{dt} = 4\sqrt{3}[/tex] ft\s

100! = 100 × 99 × 98 × .... × 3 × 2 × 1 = 9.332621544 E+157.

This product is too big to calculate manually and hence a calculator is used.

Now, 9.332621544 E+157 / 12 ^ 50 = 1.025513e+104

Hence, after solving 100!/12^50, we get 1.025513e+104

A uniform continuous distribution has a maximum of 14 and a minimum of 2. Samples of size 36 are drawn from the distribution. What is the variance of the sample means?.

Answers

 

The variance of the sample mean is 12/35 = 0.3429.. This is a result of uniform distribution.

 

The uniform distribution is a continuous probability distribution and is concerned with events that are equally likely to occur. When working out problems that have a uniform distribution, be careful to note if the data is inclusive or exclusive.

According to the question, we have

Sample size (n) = 36; uniform continuous distribution has a maximum of 14 and a minimum of 2.

The notation for the uniform distribution is

X U(a,b), where  a=  the lowest value of x  and  b=  the highest value of x. The probability density function is f(x) = 1/(ba ) fo axb .

b = 14 and a = 2.

Variance in uniform distribution = (b-a)² / 12.

Put the value of a and b, 

Variance = ( 14-2)²/12 = 12

Sample variance is used to calculate the variability of sample sets.

The variance of the sample means = variance / (sample size- 1) 9= (b-a)²/ (n-1)

= 12/35= 0.342
