The top of a ladder slides down a vertical wall at a rate of 2 feet per second. At the moment when the bottom of the ladder is 4 feet from the wall, it slides away from the wall at a rate of 3 feet per second. How long is the ladder

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of the ladder is 7.21 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y = Height of the wall

x = Distance between the wall and the ladder (bottom)

L = Length of the ladder

So, the given parameters are:

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = -2ft/s[/tex]

When [tex]x = 4; \frac{dx}{dt} = 3ft/s[/tex]

The ladder, the wall and the ground forms a right-angled triangle where the hypotenuse is the length of the ladder; So:

[tex]L^2 = x^2 + y^2[/tex]

Differentiate with respect to time

[tex]2L\frac{dL}{dt} = 2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]

The length of the ladder does not change with time. So:

[tex]2L*0 = 2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]0 = 2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]2x\frac{dx}{dt} =- 2y\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2

[tex]x\frac{dx}{dt} =- y\frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} = -2ft/s[/tex] and  [tex]x = 4; \frac{dx}{dt} = 3ft/s[/tex]

So:

[tex]4 * 3 = -y * -2[/tex]

[tex]12 = 2y[/tex]

[tex]6 = y[/tex]

[tex]y = 6[/tex]

Substitute [tex]y = 6[/tex] and [tex]x =4[/tex] in: [tex]L^2 = x^2 + y^2[/tex]

[tex]L^2 =4^2 + 6^2[/tex]

[tex]L^2 =52[/tex]

[tex]L = \sqrt{52[/tex]

[tex]L = 7.21ft[/tex]

What is division exponent theorem ?

To divide exponents (or powers) with the same base, subtract the exponents.

Division is the opposite of multiplication, so it makes sense that because you add exponents when multiplying numbers with the same base, you subtract the exponents when dividing numbers with the same base.

The given expression is

4 * 10³ multplies with   ____ =   16 * 10⁵

We have to solve this ,

Let the number be x

4 * 10³ multplies with   __x__ =   16 * 10⁵

x = (16 * 10⁵ )/(4 * 10³)

x= ( 4²  * 10⁵ )/(4 * 10³)

Therefore the numerator and denominator has the same base so

[tex]\rm 4^{2-1} \times 10^{5-3}\\\\\\4^{1} \times 10^{2}\\\\\\4\times 10^{2}[/tex]is the number that when multiplied to   4 * 10³  gives  16 * 10⁵

Kai can wrap 42 gifts in 3 hours. Answer the following questions, assuming that Kai can continue wrapping gifts at that same rate. How many gifts can Kai wrap in 24 hours? _______________ How many hours would it take him to wrap 126 gifts? _______________ How many gifts does Kai wrap per hour? _______________

Answers

Answer:

1. 336

2. 9

3. 14

Step-by-step explanation:

He wraps 42 gifts/3hours

24 hours is 8 "3 hours"

42 hours per 3 gifts * 8 "3 hours" = 336 gifts

126 gifts is 3 "42 gifts"

3 hours per 42 gifts * 3 "42 gifts" = 9 hours

He wraps 42 gifts/3hours

divide these values by 3 and you get  14 gifts/one hour

14 gifts every one hour

In the tenth game he starts, he allows 9 runs. Let B represent the set of the number of runs allowed in all ten games he has started.

The interquartile range of A is 1 less than the interquartile range of B.

The median of A is the same as the median of B.

Including the runs allowed in the tenth game does not cause the spread of the data to

change

Answers

Answer:

The median of A is the same as the median of B.

The interquartile range of B is greater than the interquartile range of A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

A = number of runs allowed in first 9 games

A = {1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1}

Rearranging A : 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4

Median A = 1/2(n + 1) th term

Median A = 1/2(10) = 5th term = 2

Q1 of A = 1/4(10) = 2.5th term = (1 + 1)/ 2 = 1

Q3 of A = 3/4(10) = 7.5th term = (2+3)/2 = 2.5

Interquartile range = Q3 - Q1 = 2.5 - 1 = 1.5

Number of runs allowed in 10th game = 9

B = {1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1, 9}

Rearranging B = 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 9

Median A = 1/2(n + 1) th term

Median A = 1/2(11) = 5.5th term = (2+2)/2 = 2

Q1 of A = 1/4(11) = 2.75th tetm = (1 + 1)/ 2 = 1

Q3 of A = 3/4(11) = 8.25th term = (3+4)/2 = 3.5

Interquartile range = Q3 - Q1 = 3.5 - 1 = 2.5

Median A = 2 ; median B = 2

IQR B = 2.5 ; IQR A = 1.5 ; IQR B > IQR A

The Centers for Disease Control reported the percentage of people 18 years of age and older who smoke (CDC website, December 14, 2014). Suppose that a study designed to collect new data on smokers and nonsmokers uses a preliminary estimate of the proportion who smoke of .30. a. How large a sample should be taken to estimate the proportion of smokers in the population with a margin of error of .02 (to the nearest whole number)

Answers

Answer:

A sample of 2017 people should be taken.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

The margin of error is:

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

Suppose a 95% confidence level:

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].

Preliminary estimate of the proportion who smoke of .30.

This means that [tex]\pi = 0.3[/tex]

a. How large a sample should be taken to estimate the proportion of smokers in the population with a margin of error of .02 (to the nearest whole number)

This is n for which M = 0.02. So

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

[tex]0.02 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.3*0.7}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.02\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.3*0.7}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.3*0.7}}{0.02}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.3*0.7}}{0.02})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 2016.84[/tex]

To the nearest whole number, 2017.

In geometry, often times you must have at least one angle to problem solve and find the rest. So having a known angle to build off of is important. Vertical Angles and Supplementary Angles are examples of things that require a known angle to find the rest. Why?

Say you only know one angle and the other is congruent to that angle, but across from it...Due to the theory of vertical angles, you now know the other side has to be the same/congruent. For supplementary angles, say you're dealing with a shape like the one I've attached. Once you have a or b, you can determine c. You have to know at least one of those angles to determine it's other unknown angles.
