12,000 Students Applied...

To find the answer, consider that for every 1000 students that apply, 150 students are accepted.

Divide 1800 by 150 and you get 12....which can be translated to 12,000 students

Find the maximum value or minimum value for the function f(x) = 0.15(x + 1)² - 3.
il63 [147K]

Answer:

The minimum value for  f(x) = 0.15(x + 1)^2 - 3 is -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is f(x) = 0.15(x + 1)^2 - 3

We need to find the maximum value or the minimum value for the function.

Now, differentiate f(x) = 0.15(x + 1)^2 - 3  w.r.t x.

f'(x) =\frac{d}{dx}(0.15(x + 1)^2 - 3)\\f'(x)=\frac{d}{dx}(0.15(x+1)^2-\frac{d}{dx}(3)\\

f'(x)=2\times 0.15(x+1)\frac{d}{dx}(x+1)-0\\f'(x)=0.3(x+1)(1)\\f'(x)=0.3(x+1)

Now, we will equate f'(x)=0 to find critical point.

0.3(x+1)=0\\x=-1

Plug this critical point in to the function f(x) = 0.15(x + 1)^2 - 3  we get,

f(-1) = 0.15(-1 + 1)^2 - 3\\f(-1)=-3

Also, f''(x)=0.3 which is positive, We have minimum value.

So, the minimum value for  f(x) = 0.15(x + 1)^2 - 3 is -3.

g Nationwide, a certain disease occurs only a small proportion of people (.000215). A certain town has 74,000 residents. Use the
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The probability that the town has 30 or fewer residents with the illness = 0.00052.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we have the following set of data or information or parameters given from the question above and they are; the number of people living in that particular society/community/town = 74,000 residents and the proportion of people that the diseases affected = .000215.

The first step to do is to determine the expected number of people with disease. Thus, the expected number of people with disease = 74,000 × .000215 = 15.91.

Hence, the probability that the town has 30 or fewer residents with the illness = 1.23 × 10^-7 × 15.91^30/ 2.65253 × 10^-32 = 0.00052.

Note the formula used in the calculating the probability that the town has 30 or fewer residents with the illness =  e^-λ × λ^x/ x!

What is the third angle of a triangle if the other two are (3x-20)° and (4x+10)°​
Karolina [17]

Answer:

The other angle is 190-7x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees.

Let A be the third angle.

A + (3x-20) + (4x+10) = 180

A = 180 - (3x - 20) - (4x + 10) = 190 - 7x

The Slope of a Line

Suppose we know the line passes through points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2). The slope can be calculated with the equation:

\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

The graph provided suggests the use of the points (3,-3) and (5,-3). The slope is:

\displaystyle m=\frac{-3+3}{5-3}=\frac{0}{2}=0

The slope of the line is 0. It corresponds to a horizontal line
