Answer:

The answer is 98.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential Functions:

y=ab^x

a=starting value = 970

r=rate = 15.1%=0.151

Exponential Decay:

b=1-r=1-0.151=0.849

Write Exponential Function:

y=970(0.849)^x

Plug in time for x:

y=970(0.849)^{14}

y= 98.05718

Evaluate

y≈98.1

The amount of the element remaining (y) in grams after time (t) in minutes is defined by the equation y=970(1-.151)^t. Substitute t=14 into the equation and solve for y. y=970(.849)^14=98.06 rounded to two decimal places.

Answer:

Question 1: $P ( B | Y ) = \frac{ P ( B and Y)}{ P (Y)} = \frac{ \frac{2}{16}}{ \frac{4}{16}} = \frac{1}{2}$

Question 2:

A. $P ( Y | B ) = \frac{ P(Y and B) }{ P(B) } = \frac{ \frac{2}{16} }{ \frac{6}{16} } = \frac{1}{3}$

B. $P( Z | B ) = \frac{ P ( Z and B)}{ P (B)}= \frac{ \frac{1}{16} }{ \frac{6}{16} } = \frac{1}{6}$

C. $P((Y or Z)|B) = \frac{ P ((Y or Z) and B)}{P(B)}= \frac{ \frac{3}{16}}{ \frac{6}{16}}= \frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional probability is defined by

$P(A|B)= \frac{P(A and B)}{P(B)}$

with P(A and B) beeing the probability of both events occurring simultaneously.

Question 1:

B: Baseball League Championships won, beeing

$P ( B ) = \frac{ 6 }{16}$

Y: Championships won by the 10 - 12 years old, beeing

$P ( Y)= \frac{ 4 }{ 16 }$

then

P( B and Y)= \frac{ 2 }{ 16 }[/tex]

By definition,

$P ( B | Y ) = \frac{ P ( B and Y)}{ P (Y)} = \frac{ \frac{2}{16} }{ \frac{4}{16} } = \frac{1}{2}$

Question 2.A:

Y: Championships won by the 10 - 12 years old, beeing

$P ( Y)= \frac{ 4 }{ 16 }$

B: Baseball League Championships won, beeing

$P ( B ) = \frac{ 6 }{16}$

then

P( B and Y)= \frac{ 2 }{ 16 }[/tex]

By definition,

$P ( Y | B ) = \frac{ P(Y and B) }{ P(B) } = \frac{ \frac{2}{16} }{ \frac{6}{16} } = \frac{1}{3}$

Question 2.B:

Z: Championships won by the 13 - 15 years old, beeing

$P ( Z)= \frac{ 1 }{ 16 }$

B: Baseball League Championships won, beeing

$P ( B ) = \frac{ 6 }{16}$

then

P( Z and B)= \frac{ 1 }{ 16 }[/tex]

By definition,

$P( Z | B ) = \frac{ P ( Z and B)}{ P (B)}= \frac{ \frac{1}{16} }{ \frac{6}{16} } = \frac{1}{6}$

Question 3.B

Y: Championships won by the 10 - 12 years old, beeing

$P ( Y)= \frac{ 4 }{ 16 }$

Z: Championships won by the 13 - 15 years old, beeing

$P ( Z)= \frac{ 1 }{ 16 }$

then

$P (Y or Z) = P(Y) + P(Z) = \frac{6}{16}$

B: Baseball League Championships won, beeing

$P ( B ) = \frac{ 6 }{16}$

$P((YorZ) and B)= \frac{3}{16}$

By definition,

$P((Y or Z)|B) = \frac{ P ((Y or Z) and B)}{P(B)}= \frac{ \frac{3}{16}}{ \frac{6}{16}}= \frac{1}{2}$

Which points on the curve of x^2 - xy - y^2 = 5 have vertical tangent lines?

algol [13]

We need to differentiate this with respect to x to see if we can find an expression for the derivative of y at various points. That will be the slope of the tangent to the curve. Then we want to see where that derivative might be infinite -- i.e., where the tangent is vertical.

It's not written as a function, but it can still be differentiated using the chain rule:

x2 + xy + y2 = 3

(2x) + (x dy/dx + y dx/dx) + (2y dy/dx) = 0

(I used parentheses to show the differentiation of each term in the original equation.)

2x + x dy/dx + y + 2y dy/dx = 0

2x + y = -x dy/dx - 2y dy/dx

2x + y = dy/dx (-x -2y)

-(2x + y)/(x + 2y) = dy/dx

We have the derivative of y, but it's defined partly in terms of y itself. That's OK. Let's go on...

So where would the slope be infinite? That would happen when x + 2y = 0, or y = -x/2

Let's plug that in for y in the original equation to find points where that's the case.

x2 + xy + y2 = 3

x2 + x(-x/2) + (-x/2)2 = 3

x2 - x2/2 + x2/4 = 3

3x2 / 4 = 3

x2 = 4

x = ±2

So we have two x values where the tangent might be vertical. Let's plug them into the equation and see what the y values are. First x = 2...

x2 + xy + y2 = 3

4 + 2y + y2 = 3

y2 + 2y + 1 = 0

(y + 1)2 = 0

y = -1

So at the point (2, -1) the tangent is vertical.

Now try x = -2...

x2 + xy + y2 = 3

4 - 2y + y2 = 3

y2 - 2y + 1 =0

(y - 1)2 = 0

y = 1

So at the point (-2, 1) the tangent is vertical.
