X + (1/x) = 4*(1/x)
(x^2 +1)/x = 4/x
x^2+1=4
x^2 = 3

x= 3^(1/2)

Doug hits a baseball straight towards a 15 ft high fence that is 400 ft from home plate. The ball is hit 2.5ft above the ground
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

125.4\ \text{m/s}

Step-by-step explanation:

u = Initial velocity of baseball

\theta = Angle of hit = 30^{\circ}

x = Displacement in x direction = 400 ft

y = Displacement in y direction = 15 ft

y_0 = Height of hit = 2.5 ft

a_y = g = Acceleration due to gravity = 32.2\ \text{ft/s}^2

t = Time taken

Displacement in x direction

x=u_xt\\\Rightarrow x=u\cos\theta t\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{x}{u\cos\theta}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{400}{u\cos30^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{400}{u\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{800}{u\sqrt{3}}

Displacement in y direction

y=y_0+u_yt+\dfrac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\\Rightarrow y=y_0+u\sin\theta t+\dfrac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\\Rightarrow 15=2.5+u\sin30^{\circ}(\dfrac{800}{u\sqrt{3}})+\dfrac{1}{2}\times -32.2\times (\dfrac{800}{u\sqrt{3}})^2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{400}{\sqrt{3}}-\dfrac{10304000}{3u^2}-12.5=0\\\Rightarrow 218.44=\dfrac{10304000}{3u^2}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{\dfrac{10304000}{3\times218.44}}\\\Rightarrow u=125.4\ \text{m/s}

The minimum initial velocity needed for the ball to clear the fence is 125.4\ \text{m/s}

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

a)

X[bar]_A= 71.8cm

X[bar]_B= 72cm

b)

M.A.D._A= 8.16cm

M.A.D._B= 5.4cm

c) The data set for Soil A is more variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The data in the stem-and-leaf plots show the heights in cm of Teddy Bear sunflowers grown in two different types of soil (A and B)

To read the data shown in the plots, remember that the first digit of the number is shown in the stem and the second digit is placed in the leaves.

The two data sets, in this case, are arranged in a "back to back" stem plot, which allows you to compare both distributions. In this type of graph, there is one single stem in the middle, shared by both samples, and the leaves are placed to its left and right of it corresponds to the observations of each one of them.

Since the stem is shared by both samples, there can be observations made only in one of the samples. For example in the first row, the stem value is 5, for the "Soil A" sample there is no leaf, this means that there was no plant of 50 ≤ X < 60 but for "Soil B" there was one observation of 59 cm.

X represents the variable of interest, as said before, the height of the Teddy Bear sunflowers.

a) To calculate the average or mean of a data set you have to add all observations of the sample and divide it by the number of observations:

X[bar]= ∑X/n

For soil A

Observations:

61, 61, 62, 65, 70, 71, 75, 81, 82, 90

The total of observations is n_A= 10

∑X_A= 61 + 61 + 62 + 65 + 70 + 71 + 75 + 81 + 82 + 90= 718

X[bar]_A= ∑X_A/n_A= 218/10= 71.8cm

For Soil B

Observations:

59, 63, 69, 70, 72, 73, 76, 77, 78, 83

The total of observations is n_B= 10

∑X_B= 59 + 63 + 69 + 70 + 72 + 73 + 76 + 77 + 78 + 83= 720

X[bar]_B= ∑X_B/n_B= 720/10= 72cm

b) The mean absolute deviation is the average of the absolute deviations of the sample. It is a summary of the sample's dispersion, meaning the greater its value, the greater the sample dispersion.

To calculate the mean absolute dispersion you have to:

1) Find the mean of the sample (done in the previous item)

2) Calculate the absolute difference of each observation and the sample mean |X-X[bar]|

3) Add all absolute differences

4) Divide the summation by the number of observations (sample size,n)

For Soil A

1) X[bar]_A= 71.8cm

2) Absolute differences |X_A-X[bar]_{A}|

|61-71.8|= 10.8

|61-71.8|= 10.8

|62-71.8|= 9.8

|65-71.8|= 6.8

|70-71.8|= 1.8

|71-71.8|= 0.8

|75-71.8|= 3.2

|81-71.8|= 9.2

|82-71.8|= 10.2

|90-71.8|= 18.2

3) Summation of all absolute differences

∑|X_A-X[bar]_A|= 10.8 + 10.8 + 9.8 + 6.8 + 1.8 + 0.8 + 3.2 + 9.2 + 10.2 + 18.2= 81.6

4) M.A.D._A=∑|X_A-X[bar]_A|/n_A= 81.6/10= 8.16cm

For Soil B

1) X[bar]_B= 72cm

2) Absolute differences |X_B-X[bar]_B|

|59-72|= 13

|63-72|= 9

|69-72|= 3

|70-72|= 2

|72-72|= 0

|73-72|= 1

|76-72|= 4

|77-72|= 5

|78-72|= 6

|83-72|= 11

3) Summation of all absolute differences

∑ |X_B-X[bar]_B|= 13 + 9 + 3 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 11= 54

4) M.A.D._B=∑ |X_B-X[bar]_B|/n_B= 54/10= 5.4cm

c)

If you compare both calculated mean absolute deviations, you can see M.A.D._A > M.A.D._B. As said before, the M.A.D. summary of the sample's dispersion. The greater value obtained for "Soil A" indicates this sample has greater variability.

I hope this helps!

Since there is 101 Tickets, 
Let S + A = 101
1.50S + 2.50A = $186.50



Adults + Students = 101

$186. 50 = $2.50 Adults + $1.50 Students

Answer is 35 Adults, and 66 Students.




Hope that helps!!!

51% of the tickets sold at a school carnival were early-admission tickets. If the school sold 100 tickets in all, how many early
saul85 [17]

Answer:

51 were the total number of the tickets sold at a school carnival were early-admission tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of tickets sold by  = 100

Let x be the early-admission tickets sold by the school.

As 51% of the tickets sold at a school carnival were early-admission tickets.

so

x=\frac{51}{100}\times 100

  = 51

Therefore, 51 were the total number of the tickets sold at a school carnival were early-admission tickets.
