Answer: A fraction is in lowest terms when the numerator and denominator have no common factor other than 1.

Step-by-step explanation: The factors of 2 are 1 and 2. The factors of 4 are 1, 2, and 4. 2 and 4 share a common factor: 2.

Use a formula to find the monthly payment on a home mortgage of $84,400 at 4.884% interest for 15 years.

leonid [27]

The applicable formula is
A = P(r/12)/(1 -(1+r/12)^(-12n))
where P is the principal amount,
r is the annual interest rate (compounded monthly), and
n is the number of years.

Using the formula, we find
A = 84,400*(0.04884/12)/(1 -(1+0.04884/12)^(-12*15))
= 84,400*0.00407/(1 -1.00407^-180)
= 343.508/0.518627
≈ 662.34

The monthly payment on a mortgage of $84,400 for 15 years at 4.884% will be
$662.34

Which definite integral approximation formula is this: the integral from a to b of f(x)dx ≈ (b-a)/n * [<img src="https://tex.z-d

Stella [2.4K]

The answer is most likely A.

The integration interval [a, b] is split up into n subintervals of equal length (so each subinterval has width (b - a)/n, same as the coefficient of the sum of y terms) and approximated by the area of n rectangles with base (b - a)/n and height y.

n subintervals require n + 1 points, with

x₀ = a

x₁ = a + (b - a)/n

x₂ = a + 2(b - a)/n

and so on up to the last point x = b. The right endpoints are x₁, x₂, … etc. and the height of each rectangle are the corresponding y 's at these endpoints. Then you get the formula as given in the photo.

• "Average rate of change" isn't really relevant here. The AROC of a function G(x) continuous* over an interval [a, b] is equal to the slope of the secant line through x = a and x = b, i.e. the value of the difference quotient

(G(b) - G(a) ) / (b - a)

If G(x) happens to be the antiderivative of a function g(x), then this is the same as the average value of g(x) on the same interval,

$g_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{G(b)-G(a)}{b-a}=\dfrac1{b-a}\displaystyle\int_a^b g(x)\,\mathrm dx$

(* I'm actually not totally sure that continuity is necessary for the AROC to exist; I've asked this question before without getting a particularly satisfying answer.)

• "Trapezoidal rule" doesn't apply here. Split up [a, b] into n subintervals of equal width (b - a)/n. Over the first subinterval, the area of a trapezoid with "bases" y₀ and y₁ and "height" (b - a)/n is

(y₀ + y₁) (b - a)/n

but y₀ is clearly missing in the sum, and also the next term in the sum would be

(y₁ + y₂) (b - a)/n

the sum of these two areas would reduce to

(b - a)/n = (y₀ + 2 y₁ + y₂)

which would mean all the terms in-between would need to be doubled as well to get

$\displaystyle\int_a^b f(x)\,\mathrm dx\approx\frac{b-a}n\left(y_0+2y_1+2y_2+\cdots+2y_{n-1}+y_n\right)$

A monk crossbred plants which can have purple or white flowers and obtained 511 plants with white flowers and 337 plants with pu

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

For purple;

P(p) = 337/848 = 0.40

For white;

P(w) = 511/848 = 0.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Number of plants with purple flowers P = 337

Number of plants with white flowers W = 511

Total T = 337 + 511 = 848

For purple;

the empirical Probability that a plant had purple flowers P(p) is

P(p) = Number of plants with purple flowers/total number of plants

P(p) = P/T

Substituting the values, we have;

P(p) = 337/848 = 0.40

For white;

the empirical Probability that a plant had white flowers P(w) is

P(w) = Number of plants with white flowers/total number of plants

P(w) = W/T

Substituting the values, we have;

P(w) = 511/848 = 0.60
