Answer 1

Answer:

A. 5:4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the question mentions twelfths of a pie, it is easier to say each pie has 12 pieces or 36 total pieces ordered from the 3 pies. Ty ate 5 and Rob ate 15 which is 3 times more than Ty. A total of 20 pieces have been eaten from the 36 you started with. Eaten = 20 and Remaining = 16. So the ratio is 20:16 which is simplified to 5:4.

Answer 2
the answer is A. 5:4

Please help me answer the question

Answers

Answer:

fourth option

Step-by-step explanation:

Common difference is given by difference of two consecutive term

d = nth term - (n-1)th term

______________________________________

for all the  series lets take second term as nth term

and first term as (n-1)th term

_________________________________________

for first series

n th term = -3 1/2 = -3.5

(n-1)th term = -5

therefore

d= -3.5 -(-5) = -3.5 +5 = 1.5

______________________________________

for second series

n th term = 4 1/2 = 4.5

(n-1)th term = 2 1/2 = 2.5

therefore

d= 4.5 -(2.5) =2

_________________________

for third series

n th term = 3

(n-1)th term =1.5

therefore

d= 3 - 1.5 = 1.5

__________________________________

for fourth series

n th term = -1.5

(n-1)th term = -4

therefore

d= -1.5 -(-4) = -1.5 + 4 = 2.5 = 2 1/2

___________________________________

Thus, based on above solution option four has common difference of 2 1/2

Proceed as in Example 4 in Section 6.1 and find a power series solution y = [infinity] n = 0 cnxn of the given linear first-order differential equation. (Give your answer in terms of c0.) y' = xy

Answers

Let y be a solution to the given differential equation,

[tex]y' = xy[/tex]

where

[tex]\displaystyle y = \sum_{n=0}^\infty c_n x^n \\\\ y' = \sum_{n=0}^\infty nc_nx^{n-1} = \sum_{n=1}^\infty nc_nx^{n-1} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1)c_{n+1}x^n[/tex]

Substituting these series into the DE gives

[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1)c_{n+1}x^n = x\sum_{n=0}^\infty c_nx^n \\\\ \sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1)c_{n+1}x^n = \sum_{n=0}^\infty c_nx^{n+1} \\\\ \sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1)c_{n+1}x^n = \sum_{n=1}^\infty c_{n-1}x^n \\\\ c_1 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty (n+1)c_{n+1}x^n = \sum_{n=1}^\infty c_{n-1}x^n \\\\ c_1 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \bigg((n+1)c_{n+1}-c_{n-1}\bigg)x^n = 0[/tex]

Then the coefficients [tex]c_n[/tex] in the series solution are governed by the recurrence,

[tex]\begin{cases}c_0 = c_0 \\ c_1 = 0 \\ (n+1)c_{n+1}-c_{n-1} = 0&\text{for }n\ge1\end{cases}[/tex]

We have

[tex](n+1)c_{n+1}-c_{n-1} = 0 \implies nc_n - c_{n-2} = 0 \implies c_n = \dfrac{c_{n-2}}n[/tex]

so it follows that [tex]c_1=c_3=c_5=\cdots = 0[/tex], while

[tex]c_0 = \dfrac{c_0}1 = \dfrac{c_0}{2^0\times0!} \\\\ c_2 = \dfrac{c_0}2 = \dfrac{c_0}{2^1\times1!}\\\\ c_4 = \dfrac{c_2}4 = \dfrac{c_0}{2\times4} = \dfrac{c_0}{2^2\times2!}\\\\ c_6 = \dfrac{c_4}6 = \dfrac{c_0}{2\times4\times6} = \dfrac{c_0}{2^3\times3!}[/tex]

and so on, with the general n-th coefficient being

[tex]c_n = \begin{cases}0&\text{if }n\text{ is odd} \\ \dfrac{c_0}{2^{n/2}\left(\frac n2\right)!} &\text{if }n\text{ is even}\end{cases}[/tex]

Then the power series solution is

[tex]\displaystyle y(x) = c_0 \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{x^n}{2^{n/2}\left(\frac n2\right)!} = c_0 \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac1{\left(\frac n2\right)!} \left(\frac x{\sqrt2}\right)^n[/tex]

but this doesn't tell the whole story because it doesn't capture the odd-index-is-zero case.

More concisely: let n = 2k for integers k ≥ 0. Then

[tex]\displaystyle y(x) = c_0 \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{x^{2k}}{2^k k!} = c_0 \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac1{k!} \left(\frac{x^2}2\right)^k[/tex]

and as a bonus, it's easier to get an exact solution for this DE,

[tex]y(x) = c_0e^{x^2/2}[/tex]

Here, f(x) = x^2 +12x, so f(y) = y^2 +12y

find the factors of f(x), given that x = -2 is zero. f(x) = x³ + x² - 14x - 24​

Answers

Answer:

x=-3 and x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x=-2 is a zero of the function, we can find the other two factors by dividing f(x) by (x+2) using long division to obtain the other two roots. The quadratic obtained is x^2-x-12. Now factorising this quadratic will result in (x-4)(x+3)=0, x=-3 and 4 are the other rrots

The factorization of the function f(x) = x³ + x² - 14x - 24​ will be (x + 2), (x + 3), and (x - 4).

What is factorization?

It is a method for dividing a polynomial into pieces that will be multiplied together. At this moment, the polynomial's value will be zero.

The function is given below.

f(x) = x³ + x² - 14x - 24​

Factorize the function, then we have

f(x) = x³ + x² - 14x - 24​

f(x) = x³ + x² - 14x - 24

f(x) = x³ + 2x² - x² - 2x - 12x - 24

f(x) = x²(x + 2) - x(x + 2) - 12(x + 2)

f(x) = (x + 2)(x² - x - 12)

f(x) =(x + 2)(x² - 4x + 3x - 12)

f(x) = (x + 2)[x(x - 4) + 3(x - 4)]

f(x) = (x + 2)(x + 3)(x - 4)

The factorization of the function f(x) = x³ + x² - 14x - 24​ will be (x + 2), (x + 3), and (x - 4).

d. Using a confidence interval, test the hypothesis at the 10% level of significance.
e. Could a Type II error have been committed in this hypothesis test?

Answers

Answer:

a; H0: u= 140 Ha: u ≠ 140 two tailed test.

b. Therefore reject H0 as t= 3 ≠ t≤ t ( ∝/2) (n-1) =2.353 or

3 > t ( ∝/2) (n-1) =2.353    

c. If we check from the table the p- value is 0.6 which lies between 0.1 and 0.05  therefore reject H0.

d. Again reject H0 as 140 < 150.163

e. A type II error has not been committed as H0 is rejected.

Step-by-step explanation:

We formulate the null and alternative hypotheses as

a; H0: u= 140 Ha: u ≠ 140 two tailed test.

For a two tailed test the significance level ∝= 0.1 the critical region is given by

t ≤ t ( ∝/2) (n-1) and t > t ( ∝/2) (n-1)

So the critical region will be

t≤ t ( ∝/2) (n-1) =2.353

where

t= x` - u / s/ √n

Sr. No X X²

2 150 22500

3 180 32400

∑ 650 106,300

X`= ∑x/n = 650/4= 162.5

s²= 1/n-1 (x-x`)²= 1/n-1 [ ∑x² -(∑x)²/n ]

= 1/3[106,300 -650²/4] = 225

s= 15

Putting the values in the above equation

t= 162.5- 140/ 15/ √4

t= 3

So calculated value of t= 3

b. Therefore reject H0 as t= 3 ≠ t≤ t ( ∝/2) (n-1) =2.353 or

3 > t ( ∝/2) (n-1) =2.353    

c. If we check from the table the p- value is 0.6 which lies between 0.1 and 0.05  therefore reject H0.

d. a 90% confidence interval based on the calculated values will be

x`± 1.645 (s)/ √n

Putting the values

162.5 ±1.645 ( 15/2)

162.5 ±12.3375

174.84 , 150.163

d. Again reject H0 as 140 < 150.163

e. A type II error has not been committed as H0 is rejected.

Write an equation that expresses the following relationship.

In your equation, use k as the constant of proportionality.

Answers

Answer:

w = [tex]\frac{ku}{d^{2} }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation that expresses the given relationship is ud²=1.

Given that, w varies directly with u and inversely with the square of d.

We need to write an equation that expresses the following relationship.

What is directly and inversely varies?

Direct variation is a linear function defined by an equation of the form y = kx when x is not equal to zero. Inverse variation is a nonlinear function defined by an equation of the form xy = k when x is not equal to zero and k is a nonzero real number constant.

Now, w∝u⇒w=ku

and w∝1/d²⇒w=k/d²

⇒wd²=k

⇒w=wd²u

ud²=1

Therefore, an equation that expresses the given relationship is ud²=1.

find the area of this figure to the nearest hundredth. Use 3.14 to approximate pi.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the figure = area of rectangle + area of semicircle

Area of rectangle = [tex] l*w [/tex]

Where,

l = 10 ft

w = 8 ft

[tex] area = l*w = 10*8 = 80 ft^2 [/tex]

Area of semicircle:

Where,

π = 3.14

r = ½ of 8 = 4 ft

Area of semi-circle = ½(3.14*4) = 6.28 ft²

The following probability distribution shows the number of times Sammy swears per day and the corresponding probabilities:# of swear words: 2 5 9 14 20Probability: 0.01 0.09 0.30 0.40 0.20In an effort to reduce his amount of swearing, Sammy places $1.00 in a jar every time he swears. Further, if at the end of the day he swears more than 10 times, he places an extra $2.00 in the jar per swear word over 10. If Sammy swears less than 5 times, he takes out $0.50 for each of his swear words.A B C D E F G1 # of swear word Probability2 Cost per swear word $1.00 2 0.013 Extra cost per swear word over 10 $2.00 5 0.094 Refund per swear word less than 5 $0.50 9 0.35 14 0.46 20 0.2789 # Regular Extra cost Refund Total swear swear if over 10 if under moneywords word swear 5 swear in the jar cost words words for theday 10 Based off the partial simulation spreadsheet above, answer the following questions: A) What formula should go into cell C10 to calculate the Regular Swear word cost?
