Answer:

number is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x then the quotient of the number and - 2 is

$\frac{x}{-2}$ ← 7 more means add 7 and equate to 6, that is

$\frac{x}{-2}$ + 7 = 6 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

$\frac{x}{-2}$ = - 1

Multiply both sides by - 2 to clear the fraction

x = 2

The Acme Company manufactures widgets. The distribution of widget weights is bell-shaped. The widget weights have a mean of 43 o

xeze [42]

Answer:

a) 95% of the widget weights lie between 29 and 57 ounces.

b) What percentage of the widget weights lie between 12 and 57 ounces? about 97.5%

c) What percentage of the widget weights lie above 30? about 97.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical rule for a mean of 43 and a standard deviation of 7 is shown below.

a) 29 represents two standard deviations below the mean, and 57 represents two standard deviations above the mean, so, 95% of the widget weights lie between 29 and 57 ounces.

b) 22 represents three standard deviations below the mean, and the percentage of the widget weights below 22 is only 0.15%. We can say that the percentage of widget weights below 12 is about 0. Equivalently we can say that the percentage of widget weights between 12 an 43 is about 50% and the percentage of widget weights between 43 and 57 is 47.5%. Therefore, the percentage of the widget weights that lie between 12 and 57 ounces is about 97.5%

c) The percentage of widget weights that lie above 29 is 47.5% + 50% = 97.5%. We can consider that the percentage of the widget weights that lie above 30 is about 97.5%

Divide £500 in a ratio of 3:7 ? pleaseee help

Inga [223]

3+7 = 10
You do 500/10 which is 50 to find out 1
1 = 50
3 = 50 x 3 = 150
7 = 50 x 7 = 350

The ratio is 150 : 350

Use the substitution of x=e^{t} to transform the given Cauchy-Euler differential equation to a differential equation with consta

kherson [118]

By the chain rule,

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}\dfrac{\mathrm dt}{\mathrm dx}\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}=x\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}$

which follows from $x=e^t\implies t=\ln x\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dt}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac1x$ .

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}$ is then a function of $x$ ; denote this function by $f(x)$ . Then by the product rule,

$\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}=\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\left[\dfrac1x\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}\right]=-\dfrac1{x^2}\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}+\dfrac1x\dfrac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm dx}$
