Let a_n represent the number of bacteria after \frac{n}{2} hours.

so

a_0 is the number of bacteria after 0/2 = 0 hours

a_1 is the number of bacteria after 1/2 hours

a_2 is the number of bacteria after 2/2 = 1 hours and so on


so if we list a few terms of this sequence, we have:

a_0=1

a_1=1*2

a_2=1*2*2

a_3=1*2*2*2

a_4=1*2*2*2*2


so clearly, a_n, the number of bacteria after \frac{n}{2} hours, is equal to 2^{n}.
 

 a_4_8 is the number of bacteria after
 
\frac{n}{2}=\frac{48}{2}= 24 hours.

Thus, we calculate  a_4_8, which is 2^{48}.


Answer: the number of bacteria after 24 hours is 2^{48}.

A researcher claims that the mean of the salaries of elementary school teachers is greater than the mean of the salaries of seco
Brut [27]

Answer:

t=\frac{(48250-45630)}{\sqrt{\frac{3900^2}{26}+\frac{5530^2}{24}}}}=1.921  

df=n_{A}+n_{B}-2=26+24-2=48

Since is a one sided test the p value would be:

p_v =P(t_{(48)}>1.921)=0.0303

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can conclude that the mean for elementary school teachers is significantly higher than the mean for secondary teachers at 5% of significance

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

\bar X_{A}=48250 represent the mean of elementary teachers

\bar X_{B}=45630 represent the mean for secondary teachers

s_{A}=3900 represent the sample standard deviation for elementary teacher

s_{B}=5530 represent the sample standard deviation for secondary teachers

n_{A}=26 sample size selected

n_{B}=24 sample size selected  

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean of the salaries of elementary school teachers is greater than the mean of the salaries of secondary school teachers, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis:\mu_{A}-\mu_{B}\leq 0

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_{A}-\mu_{B}>0

We don't know the population deviations, so for this case is better apply a t test to compare means, and the statistic is given by:

t=\frac{(\bar X_{A}-\bar X_{B})}{\sqrt{\frac{s^2_{A}}{n_{A}}+\frac{s^2_{B}}{n_{B}}}} (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other".

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

t=\frac{(48250-45630)}{\sqrt{\frac{3900^2}{26}+\frac{5530^2}{24}}}}=1.921  

P-value

The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:

df=n_{A}+n_{B}-2=26+24-2=48

Since is a one sided test the p value would be:

p_v =P(t_{(48)}>1.921)=0.0303

Conclusion

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can conclude that the mean for elementary school teachers is significantly higher than the mean for secondary teachers at 5% of significance

Match each of the parametric equations 1-5 with the curve it represents from the list A through E below. 1. r=3 2. r=2sinθ 3. θ=
ira [324]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. r=3

To convert from polar coordinates (r,θ) to rectangular coordinates (x,y), we use the following equations

x=rCosθ

Cosθ=x/r

y=rSinθ

Sinθ=y/r

Also, r²=x²+y²

When r =3,

Then we have

r=3,

x²+y²=3

All points with r = 3 are at

distance 3 from the origin, so r = 3 describes the circle of radius 3, with center at the origin (0,0).

Option C

2. r=2sinθ

When r=2sinθ

To convert from polar coordinates (r,θ) to rectangular coordinates (x,y), we use the following equations

x=rCosθ

Cosθ=x/r

y=rSinθ

Sinθ=y/r

Also, r²=x²+y²

Now, apply the given information

r=2sinθ

Since Sinθ=y/r

r=2y/r

Cross multiply

r²=2y

x²+y²=2y

x²+y²-2y =0

x²+ (y-1)² -1 =0

x²+(y-1)²=1²

Then,

It is a circle with center (0,1) and radius 1.

Because the sine is periodic, we know that we will get the entire curve for values of θ in [0, 2π). As θ runs from 0 to π/2, r increases

from 0 to 2. Then as θ continues to π, r decreases again to 0. When θ runs from π to

2π, r is negative, and it is not hard to see that the first part of the curve is simply traced

out again, so in fact we get the whole curve for values of θ in [0, π). Thus, check attachment for curve, Now, this suggests that the curve could possibly be a circle,

and if it is, it would have to be the circle x² + (y − 1)² = 1. Having made this guess, we can easily check it. First we substitute for x and y to get (r cos θ)² + (r sin θ − 1)² = 1;

expanding and simplifying does indeed turn this into r = 2 sin θ.

Option E

A circle of radius 1 with center on the x-axis

3. θ=π/4

This is a point on the circle

p=(r, θ)

So, r=0

x = rCosπ/4=rCos45

x=r√2 /2

and

y = rsin(π/4) = rSin45

y=r√2 /2

This makes it very

easy to convert equations from rectangular to polar coordinates.

x²+y²= (r√2/2)²+(r√2/2)²

x²+y²= 2r²/4 + 2r²/4

x²+y²= r²

Since r=0

x²+y²= 0

x²=y²

Therefore, x=y

Option D

The straight line y=x

4. r=4θ

Here the distance from the origin

exactly matches the angle, so a bit of thought makes it clear that when θ ≥ 0 we get the spiral of Archimedes ( check attachment ) When θ < 0, r is also negative, and so the full graph is the right hand picture in the figure. Check attachment

The correct option is B

None of the above

5. r=2Cosθ

To convert from polar coordinates (r,θ) to rectangular coordinates (x,y), we use the following equations

x=rCosθ

Cosθ=x/r

y=rSinθ

Sinθ=y/r

Also, r²=x²+y²

Now, apply the given information

r=2cosθ

Since cosθ=x/r

r=2x/r

Cross multiply

r²=2x

x²+y²=2x

x²+y²-2x=0

(x-1)² + y² -1 =0

(x-1)² + y² = 1²

Then,

It is a circle with center (1,0) and radius 1.

A circle of radius 1 with center on the y-axis

Option A is correct
