A model ship is 28 in. by 65 in. Use the scale 1 in. : 1/2 ft to find the dimensions of the actual ship

Mathematics
1 answer:
Kruka [31]3 years ago
6 0
The scale given (1 in : 1/2 ft) implies that 1 inch on the model is equal to 1/2 foot on the actual ship. Therefore, we can multiply the two inch values by 1/2 foot to find the true dimensions of the ship in feet. Starting with 28 inches:

28 × (1/2 ft) = 14 ft

28 inches is proportional to 14 feet. Now calculate 65 inches:

65 
× (1/2 ft) = 32.5 ft

65 inches is proportional to 32.5 feet. Therefore, the answer to this problem is:

D) 14 ft. by 32 1/2 ft.

I hope this helps!

The market and Stock J have the following probability distributions:
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

1) E(M) = 14*0.3 + 10*0.4 + 19*0.3 = 13.9 \%

2) E(J)= 22*0.3 + 4*0.4 + 12*0.3 = 11.8 \%

3) E(M^2) = 14^2*0.3 + 10^2*0.4 + 19^2*0.3 = 207.1

And the variance would be given by:

Var (M)= E(M^2) -[E(M)]^2 = 207.1 -(13.9^2)= 13.89

And the deviation would be:

Sd(M) = \sqrt{13.89}= 3.73

4) E(J^2) = 22^2*0.3 + 4^2*0.4 + 12^2*0.3 =194.8

And the variance would be given by:

Var (J)= E(J^2) -[E(J)]^2 = 194.8 -(11.8^2)= 55.56

And the deviation would be:

Sd(M) = \sqrt{55.56}= 7.45

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following distributions given:

Probability  M   J

0.3           14%  22%

0.4           10%    4%

0.3           19%    12%

Part 1

The expected value is given by this formula:

E(X)=\sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i)

And replacing we got:

E(M) = 14*0.3 + 10*0.4 + 19*0.3 = 13.9 \%

Part 2

E(J)= 22*0.3 + 4*0.4 + 12*0.3 = 11.8 \%

Part 3

We can calculate the second moment first with the following formula:

E(M^2) = 14^2*0.3 + 10^2*0.4 + 19^2*0.3 = 207.1

And the variance would be given by:

Var (M)= E(M^2) -[E(M)]^2 = 207.1 -(13.9^2)= 13.89

And the deviation would be:

Sd(M) = \sqrt{13.89}= 3.73

Part 4

We can calculate the second moment first with the following formula:

E(J^2) = 22^2*0.3 + 4^2*0.4 + 12^2*0.3 =194.8

And the variance would be given by:

Var (J)= E(J^2) -[E(J)]^2 = 194.8 -(11.8^2)= 55.56

And the deviation would be:

Sd(M) = \sqrt{55.56}= 7.45

One root of f(x) = x + 10x2 – 25x – 250 is x = -10. What are all the roots of the function? Use the Remainder Theorem.
Natalka [10]

Answer:

-10

-5

5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the answers given, you probably mean f(x) = x^3 + 10x2 – 25x – 250

The Remainder Theorem is going to take a bit to solve.

You have to try the factors of 250. One way to make your life a lot easier is to graph the equation. That will give you the roots.

The graph appears below. Since the y intercept is -250 the graph goes down quite a bit and if you show the y intercept then it will not be easy to see the roots.

However just to get the roots, the graph shows that

x = -10

x = - 5

x = 5

The last answer is the right one. To use the remainder theorem, you could show none of the answers will give 0s except the last one. For example, the second one will give

f((10) = 10^3 + 10*10^2 - 25*10 - 250

f(10) = 1000 + 1000 - 250 - 250

f(10) = 2000 - 500

f(10) = 1500 which is  not 0.

==================

f(1) = (1)^3 + 10*(1)^2 - 25(1) - 250

f(1) = 1 + 10 - 25 - 250

f(1) = -264 which again is not zero

What is the solution to the liner equation <br><br> -12+3b-1=-5-b
Natalija [7]

Answer:

b=2

Step-by-step explanation:

-12+3b-1=-5-b

Combine like terms

-13 +3b = -5-b

Add b to each side

-13+3b+b = -5-b+b

-13+4b = -5

Add 13 to each side

-13+13 +4b = -5+13

4b = 8

Divide by 4

4b/4 = 8/4

b = 2
