Answer: 100 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since 1 ton = 2,000 lbs

We have to divide 10lbs by 2000 to convert the lbs in tons.

1t/2000lb = xt / 10lb

10 /2000=0.005

0.005 ton = 10 lbs (1 bag)

Each box has 4 bags

0.005 ton x 4 = 0.02 ton

So each box weights 0.02 ton

Since we need 2 tons.

Using proportions:

0.02t/1 box= 2 t / x boxes

x = 2 / (0.02/1)

x = 100 boxes

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Show that the following functions are probability density functions for some value of k and determine k. Then, determine the mea

lord [1]

Answer:

a) 17.5

b) 15.6

c) 13.3

d) 21.51

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is equal to:

f(x)=kx^2

where

$\int\limits^y_0 {kx^{2} } \, =1$

where y=23

Clearing k=0.00025

a) $Ex=\int\limits^y_0 {xf(x)} \, dx =\int\limits^y_0 {x*0.00025x^{2} } \, dx =17.5$

b) $Vx=Ex^{2} -(Ex)^{2} =\int\limits^y_0 {x^{2}f(x) } \, dx-17.5^{2} =\int\limits^y_0 {x^{2} *0.00025x^{2} } \, dx -17.5^{2} =321.82-306.25=15.6$

c) The function is equal to:

f(x)=k(1+2x)

$\int\limits^y_0 {k(1+2x)} \, =1$

where y=20

k=0.0024

$Ex=\int\limits^y_0 {xf(x)} \, dx =\int\limits^y_0 {x*0.0024(1+2x)} \, dx =13.3$

d) $Vx=Ex^{2} -(Ex)^{2} =\int\limits^y_0 {x^{2} f(x)} \, dx -13.3^{2}=\int\limits^y_0 {x^{2} *0.0024(1+2x)} \, dx-13.3^{2} =198.4-176.89=21.51$

Find the second partial derivatives of the following functions

artcher [175]

(a) z = 3x ² - 4xy + 15y ²

has first-order partial derivatives

∂z/∂x = 6x - 4y

∂z/∂y = -4x + 30y

and thus second-order partial derivatives

∂²z/∂x ² = 6

∂²z/∂x∂y = -4

∂²z/∂y∂x = -4

∂²z/∂y ² = 30

where ∂²z/∂x∂y = ∂/∂x [∂z/∂y] and ∂²z/∂y∂x = ∂/∂y [∂z/∂x].

(b) z = 4x eʸ

∂z/∂x = 4eʸ

∂z/∂y = 4x eʸ

∂²z/∂x ² = 0

∂²z/∂x∂y = 4eʸ

∂²z/∂y∂x = 4eʸ

∂²z/∂y ² = 4x eʸ

(c) z = 6x ln(y)

∂z/∂x = 6 ln(y)

∂z/∂y = 6x/y

∂²z/∂x ² = 0

∂²z/∂x∂y = 6/y

∂²z/∂y∂x = 6/y

∂²z/∂y ² = -6x/y ²

Which line is parallel to the line that passes through the points (1,7) and (-3, 4)? A.y=-3/4x-5 B.y=3/4x+1 C.y=4/3x-8 D. y=11/4

mixer [17]

Answer:

The Line p

y= 3/4x+ 6.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The points given changed 4 right and 3 up, giving a slope of .75

plug this slope into (1,7) to get the y-intercept. This shows the intercept at 6.25.
