Answer:Step-by-step explanation:

the answer is 9 because inverse means oppisite and since its a additive inverse is will change to a positive and -17 - 8 = -9 since its  a additive inverse it will change to a positive which will = 9

If Gary lost 17 pounds and gained 8 pound back, then we have
 -17 pounds + 8 pounds = -9 pounds.
 Therefore the additive inverse of the change in Gary's weight is 9 pounds.
 That is, Gary lost 9 pounds of weight.

A rectangular storage container with an open top is to have a volume of 24 cubic meters. The length of its base is twice the wid
Mariana [72]

Answer:

419.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculation of the cost of materials for the cheapest such container is shown below:-

We assume

Width = x

Length = 2x

Height = h

where, length = 2 \times width

Base area = lb

= 2x^2

Side area = 2lh + 2bh

= 2(2x)h + 2(x)h

= 4xh + 2xh

Volume = 24 which is lbh = 24

h = \frac{24}{2x^2} \\\\ h = \frac{12}{x^2}

Now, cost is

= 13(2x^2) + 9(4xh + 2xh)\\\\ = 13(2x^2) + 9(4x + 2x)\times \frac{12}{x^2} \\\\ = 26x^2 + \frac{648}{x}

now we have to minimize C(x)

So, we need to compute the C'(x)

= 52x - \frac{648}{x^2}

C"(x)  = 52x - \frac{1,296}{x^3}

now for the critical points, we will solve the equation C'(x) = 0

= 52x - \frac{648}{x^2} = 0\\\\ x = \frac{648}{52}^{\frac{1}{3}}

C" = ((\frac{648}{52} ^{\frac{1}{3} } = 52 + \frac{1296}{(\frac{648}{52})^\frac{1}{3} )^3}\\\\ = 52 + \frac{1296}{\frac{648}{52} } >0

So, x is a point of minima that is

= (\frac{648}{52} )^\frac{1}{3}

Now, Base material cost is

= 13(2x^2)\\\\ = 26(\frac{648}{52} )^\frac{2}{3}

= 139.75

Side material cost is

= \frac{648}{x} \\\\ = \frac{648}{(\frac{648}{52})^\frac{1}{3}  }

= 279.50

and finally

Total cost is

= 139.75 + 279.50

= 419.25

On any given day, the probability that a large local river is polluted by carbon tetrachloride is 0.12. Each day, a test is cond
babymother [125]

Answer:

a) 0.2416

b) 0.4172

c) 0.0253

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the result of the test should be independent of the time , then the that the test number of times that test proves correct is independent of the days the river is correct .

denoting event a A=the test proves correct and B=the river is polluted

a) the test indicates pollution when

- the river is polluted and the test is correct

- the river is not polluted and the test fails

then

P(test indicates pollution)= P(A)*P(B)+ (1-P(A))*(1-P(B)) = 0.12*0.84+0.88*0.16 = 0.2416

b) according to Bayes

P(A∩B)= P(A/B)*P(B) → P(A/B)=P(A∩B)/P(B)

then

P(pollution exists/test indicates pollution)=P(A∩B)/P(B) = 0.84*0.12 / 0.2416 = 0.4172

c) since

P(test indicates no pollution)= P(A)*(1-P(B))+ (1-P(A))*P(B) = 0.84*0.88+  0.16*0.12 = 0.7584

the rate of false positives is

P(river is polluted/test indicates no pollution) = 0.12*0.16 / 0.7584 = 0.0253
