The ratio of the height (h) of the streetlight to its distance to the end of Laura's shadow is the same as the ratio of Laura's height to her distance from the end of her shadow.
.. h/(12+9) = 5'4"/9
.. h = (21/9)*5'4" = 12 4/9 feet
.. h = 12 ft 5 1/3 inches

The streetlight is 12 ft 5 1/3 inches tall.

In Mary's first math test she scored 87%. The mean and standard deviation for the class were 71% and 18% respectively. In her se
erica [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since your population are the students in math class, you can use the z-score formula z=(x-\mu)/\sigma in order to comparing the two math test scores. Where \mu is the mean for the class, \sigma is the standars deviation and x is Mary score.

For the first test \mu=.71 , \sigma=.18,x=.87 , so ,z_{1} = (.87-.71)/(.18)=.88.

For the second test \mu=.53 , \sigma=.14,x=.66 , so ,z_{1} = (.66-.53)/(.14)=.93

Mary do better in the second test, relative to the rest of the class (because  .88 \leq .93, it means the second score is nearer to the mean score of the class than the first one )

d)

y = (2ax^2 + c)^2 (bx^2 - cx)^{-1}

Product rule:

y' = \bigg((2ax^2+c)^2\bigg)' (bx^2-cx)^{-1} + (2ax^2+c)^2 \bigg((bx^2-cx)^{-1}\bigg)'

Chain and power rules:

y' = 2(2ax^2+c)\bigg(2ax^2+c\bigg)' (bx^2-cx)^{-1} - (2ax^2+c)^2 (bx^2-cx)^{-2} \bigg(bx^2-cx\bigg)'

Power rule:

y' = 2(2ax^2+c)(4ax) (bx^2-cx)^{-1} - (2ax^2+c)^2 (bx^2-cx)^{-2} (2bx - c)

Now simplify.

y' = \dfrac{8ax (2ax^2+c)}{bx^2 - cx} - \dfrac{(2ax^2+c)^2 (2bx-c)}{(bx^2-cx)^2}

y' = \dfrac{8ax (2ax^2+c) (bx^2 - cx) - (2ax^2+c)^2 (2bx-c)}{(bx^2-cx)^2}

e)

y = \dfrac{3bx + ac}{\sqrt{ax}}

Quotient rule:

y' = \dfrac{\bigg(3bx+ac\bigg)' \sqrt{ax} - (3bx+ac) \bigg(\sqrt{ax}\bigg)'}{\left(\sqrt{ax}\right)^2}

y'= \dfrac{\bigg(3bx+ac\bigg)' \sqrt{ax} - (3bx+ac) \bigg(\sqrt{ax}\bigg)'}{ax}

Power rule:

y' = \dfrac{3b \sqrt{ax} - (3bx+ac) \left(-\frac12 \sqrt a \, x^{-1/2}\right)}{ax}

Now simplify.

y' = \dfrac{3b \sqrt a \, x^{1/2} + \frac{\sqrt a}2 (3bx+ac) x^{-1/2}}{ax}

y' = \dfrac{6bx + 3bx+ac}{2\sqrt a\, x^{3/2}}

y' = \dfrac{9bx+ac}{2\sqrt a\, x^{3/2}}

f)

y = \sin^2(ax+b)

Chain rule:

y' = 2 \sin(ax+b) \bigg(\sin(ax+b)\bigg)'

y' = 2 \sin(ax+b) \cos(ax+b) \bigg(ax+b\bigg)'

y' = 2a \sin(ax+b) \cos(ax+b)

We can further simplify this to

y' = a \sin(2(ax+b))

using the double angle identity for sine.

Rom4ik [11]

Step-by-step explanation:

Easy:)

7)4a^{8}b^{12} \\8)25x^{6}y^{8}\\9)x^{9}y^{9}×xy^{2}

=x^{10}y^{11}

10)a^{3}×a^{8}b^{4}

=a^{11}b^{4}

11)4a^{2}b^{4}×9a^{4}b^{2}

=36a^{6}b^{6}

A gardener wants to fence a circular garden of diameter 21 m. Find the length of the rope he needs to purchase, if he makes 2 ro
djyliett [7]

Answer:

a). total length of rope=132 m

b). total cost of the rope=$528

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

To get the total length of rope needed to cover the circular garden twice, we express this as;

P=πD

where;

P=perimeter

π=pi

D=diameter

In our case;

π=22/7

D=21 m

replacing;

P=(22/7)×21=66 m

2×P=2×66=132 m

total length of rope=132 m

Step 2

The expression to calculate the total cost can be written as;

total cost=cost per meter length×total length of rope

where;

cost per meter=$4

total length of rope=132 m

replacing;

total cost=4×132=$528

total cost of the rope=$528
