an ant walks along a straight path. After traveling for 1 meter it stops, turns through an angle of 90 degrees in an anticlockwise direction and sets off in a straight line covering a distance of half a meter. Again, the ant turns through an angle of 90 degrees in an anticlockwise direction and sets off in a straight line covering a quarter of a meter. The ant continues in this manner indefinitely.

a) How many turns will the ant have made after covering a distance of 63/32 meters?

b)How far will the ant "eventually" travel?

Answers

Answer 1

The description of the motion of the ant which is a geometric series is as follows;

a) After covering 63/32 meters, the ant will have made 6 turns

b) The distance the ant will eventually travel is 2 meters

What is a geometric series?

Geometric series is an infinite sum of terms in which the ratio between consecutive terms is a constant.

The distances traveled by the ant is a geometric progression of the form;

aₙ = a·rⁿ⁻¹

The sum of the distance is given by the sum of the geometric progression as follow;

[tex]S_n = \dfrac{a\cdot \left(1 - r^n \right)}{(1 - r)}[/tex]

Where;

aₙ = The distance traveled in the nth turn

Sₙ = The sum of the distances

a = The first term = 1 meter

r = The value of the common ratio = 0.5 meter ÷ 1 meter = 0.5

a) The number of turns the ant will have made after covering a distance of 63/32 meters is therefore;

[tex]S_n =\dfrac{63}{32} = \dfrac{1\times \left(1 - 0.5^n \right)}{(1 - 0.5)}[/tex]

31.5 = 32 × (1 - 0.5ⁿ)

32 × 0.5ⁿ = 32 - 31.5 = 0.5

0.5ⁿ = 0.5 ÷ 32

n = ln(0.5 ÷ 32) ÷ ln(0.5) = 6

After covering a distance of 63/62 meters, the ant will have made 6 turns

b) The distance the ant travels eventually is given by the formula for the sum to infinity of a geometric progression as follows;

[tex]S_{\infty} = \dfrac{a}{1-r}[/tex]

Which gives;

[tex]S_{\infty} = \dfrac{1}{1-0.5} = 2[/tex]

The distance the ant eventually travels is 2 meters

25 points

Answers

The equation of line with a slope of -5 and which passes through point (-2, 8) is 5x + y = -2.

What is the equation of line with the given point and slope?

The formula for equation of line is expressed as;

y = mx + b

Where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

Given the data in the question;

Point (-2,8)

x = -2y = 8Slope m = -5

First, we determine the y-intercept 'b'. Plug the coordinates and slope into the equation of line formula and solve for b.

y = mx + b

8 = (-5)(-2) + b

8 = 10 + b

b = 8 - 10

b = -2

Now, plug values of slope m and y-intercept b into y = mx + b to determine the equation of the line.

y = mx + b

y = (-5)x + (-2)

y = -5x - 2

Convert to standard form; Ax + Bx = C

y = -5x - 2

Reorder the equation

5x + y = - 2

Therefore, the equation of the line is 5x + y = - 2.

An absolute value function is what?

A function that surrounds an algebraic expression in absolute value symbols is called as an absolute value function. Remember that a number's distance from 0 on the number line represents its absolute value. The definition of the absolute value parent function is given as follows: f(x)=x if x>00 if x=0 if x0.

Y=a| x+h |+k is the form of the equation for an absolute value function. Also:

The graph's vertex is (h,k).

The range of the graph is y≥k for a>0 and its domain is a set of all real numbers.

The range of the graph is y≤k when a0, and its domain is a set of all real numbers.

X=h is the symmetry axis.

If a>0, it opens up; if a0, it opens down.

The graph of y=a| xh |+k can be created by translating the line graph y=| x | by h units horizontally and k units vertically.

If | a | 1 and if | a | >1, the graph of y=a| x | is wider than the graph of y=| x | and narrower.

So here (h,k)=(4,2)

Next we can find slope by drawing rise and run from one point to another like I did on the graph, down -2 and right +4 giving us -2/4 simplified to -1/2.
We know the slope is negative because the line goes down from left to right.

Greta sells advertising space for her school yearbook. Last year, a quarter-page ad cost $110.
This year, Greta's teacher asks her to mark down the price by 15% to attract more sponsors.
Greta wants to know the price after the markdown.
☐ Let q equal the price of a quarter-page ad after the markdown.
Which equation can you use to find q?
q=110-0.15(15)
q=110 +0.15(110)
q=110 - 0.15(110)
q=110 +0.15(15)

Answers

The equation that could be used to find q is q = 110-0.15(110) where q equal the price of a quarter-page ad after the markdown.

According to the question,

We have the following information:

Cost of a quarter-page ad cost = $110

Mark down in the price = 15%

Now, q represents the price of a quarter-page ad after the markdown.

(Note that when we remove the sign of % means that the number has to be divided by 100.)

So, the equation will be the difference of the markdown price from the original price:

q = 110-(15/100)110

q = 110-0.15*110

q = 110-0.15(110)

Hence, the correct option is the third one.

Answers

64 is the standard deviation and the width of the confidence interval are both doubled .

What is standard deviation in math?

Your dataset's average level of variability is represented by the standard deviation. It reveals, on average, how far away from the mean each value is. A low standard deviation denotes that values are grouped close to the mean, whereas a large standard deviation shows that values are often far from the mean.

Margin of error(E)=0.5

Standard deviation(σ)=1.55

Significance level(α)=100%-99%=1% or 0.01

From Z distribution Critical value table

the Critical value(Zc)=2.58 at significance level=0.01

we know formula for the Margin of error

 E = Zc  * σ/√n

0.5 = 2.58 * 1.55/√n

√n = 2.58 *  1.55/0.5

 √n = 3.999/0.5

  √n = 7.998

  n = ( 7.998)²

 n = 63.968004

We now draw a triangle formed by those two points (a line that goes from (-3, 2) to (-3, -3) and a line from (0, -3) to (-3, -3)

Rise (Which is the height of the triangle you just drew) is 5 units, but it's going down, so -5

The base (Run) is 3 units. Using rise/run, the slope is -5/3

The y-intercept, which is at the point where the graph crosses the y-axis, is -3.

The slope intercept form is y=mx+b, where m = slope and b = y-intercept, so the equation of the graph is y = -5/3x -3

We are given:

A basketball backboard set that sold for $79 is discounted by 15%.

We need to find the sale price after the discount is given.

We will subtract the discount from the marked price.

Let us solve this;

Sale price = marked price - discount

Sale price =  $79 - $79 * 15%

Sale price =  $79 - $79 * 15 / 100

Sale price =  $79 - $11.85

Sale price = $67.15

An exponential equation is a mathematical function that depicts an equation with variable exponents.

The exponential function is always written in the form of y = abˣ.

Where a = the constant or initial value, b = the continuous growth rate, and x  or t = the time variable.

Y represents the value that we are looking for after the growth rate has been applied for several (t) years.

The steps needed are

Find the slope of the line perpendicular to y = - x + 4Find the intersection point on y = - x + 4 and the new line.Use the distance formula to find the distance from (2,-1) to the intersection point found in the second step

Givens

line y = -x + 4

Solution

The slope of the second line is

m1 * m2 = - 1

m1=  -1                From the given equation

m2 = ?

-1 * m2 = - 1

m2 = 1

Find the equation of the new line

x = 2

y = - 1 from the given point

-1 = 2 + b             Subtract 2 from both sides

-1 - 2 = 2-2 + b    Combine

-3 = b

Equation of the new line

y = x - 3

Intersection point of the two lines

y = -x + 4

y = x - 3              Add The xs cancel

2y = 1                  Divide by 2

y = 1/2

1/2 = -x + 4          Subtract 4 from both sides

1/2 - 4 = -x + 4 -4 Combine        

-3 1/2  = -x            Multiply both sides by - 1

3 1/2 = x

So the intersection point is (3.5, 0.5)

Find the distance between (2,-1) and (3.5,0.5)

d = sqrt( (2 - 3.5)^2 + (-1 - 0.5)^2 )

d = sqrt( (-1.5)^2 + (-1.5)^2 )

d = ( 1..5 * sqrt(2) )

d = 2.12

A radar tends to overestimate the distance of an aircraft, and the error is a normal random variable with a mean of 50 meters and a standard deviation 100 meters. What is the probability that the measured distance will be smaller than the true distance?.

Answers

The likelihood that the measured distance will be shorter than the actual distance is equal to 0.3085.

In this case, the chance that the measured distance will be less than the true distance will be determined using the z-score formula. The z score is a normal score that adheres to a normal distribution with a mean and standard deviation of 0 and 1, respectively.

Given that,

Mean, μ = 50

Standard deviation, σ = 100

Less than 0% of the time, the overestimation is likely.

Consequently, the necessary probability is P (X ≤ 0)

Now,

P (X ≤ 0) = P [(X − μ) / σ ≤ (0 − μ) / σ]

P (X ≤ 0) = P [Z ≤ (0 − 50) / 100]

P (X ≤ 0) = P [Z ≤ − 0.5]

Excel formula for the probability mentioned above:

P (X ≤ 0) = 0.3085

0.3085 is the likelihood that the measured distance will be shorter than the actual distance.
