A flock of geese is flying north for the summer while a bird watcher is observing. He notices that they are flying in the shape

of an absolute value graph. The lead goose is 5 miles east and 3 miles north of the bird watcher. A second goose is flying 1 mile east and 2 miles north of the bird watcher. If the bird watcher is standing at the origin write an equation for the flight of the geese in the form of y=a|(x-h)|+k

Answer:

y = -¼│x − 5│+ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = a│x − h│+ k

(h, k) is the vertex of the absolute value graph. In this case, it's (5, 3).

y = a│x − 5│+ 3

One point on the graph is (1, 2). Plug in to find the value of a.

2 = a│1 − 5│+ 3

2 = 4a + 3

a = -¼

Therefore, the graph is:

y = -¼│x − 5│+ 3

A line passes through the points (0, -2) and (0, 5). Is it possible to write an equation of the line in slope-intercept form? ju

Feliz [49]

Consider what the slope of this line would be. Slope is rise/run; this line rises 7 (5 - (-2)) and runs 0 (0 - 0). This means that the slope would be 7/0. Dividing by zero is not possible, therefore, it cannot be written in slope-intercept form.

Solve y ' ' + 4 y = 0 , y ( 0 ) = 2 , y ' ( 0 ) = 2 The resulting oscillation will have Amplitude: Period: If your solution is A

Vlad [161]

Answer:

$y(x)=sin(2x)+2cos(2x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y''+4y=0$

This is a homogeneous linear equation. So, assume a solution will be proportional to:

$e^{\lambda x} \\\\for\hspace{3}some\hspace{3}constant\hspace{3}\lambda$

Now, substitute $y(x)=e^{\lambda x}$ into the differential equation:

$\frac{d^2}{dx^2} (e^{\lambda x} ) +4e^{\lambda x} =0$

Using the characteristic equation:

$\lambda ^2 e^{\lambda x} + 4e^{\lambda x} =0$

Factor out $e^{\lambda x}$

$e^{\lambda x}(\lambda ^2 +4) =0$

Where:

$e^{\lambda x} \neq 0\\\\for\hspace{3}any\hspace{3}\lambda$

Therefore the zeros must come from the polynomial:

$\lambda^2+4 =0$

Solving for $\lambda$ :

$\lambda =\pm2i$

These roots give the next solutions:

$y_1(x)=c_1 e^{2ix} \\\\and\\\\y_2(x)=c_2 e^{-2ix}$

Where $c_1$ and $c_2$ are arbitrary constants. Now, the general solution is the sum of the previous solutions:

$y(x)=c_1 e^{2ix} +c_2 e^{-2ix}$

Using Euler's identity:

$e^{\alpha +i\beta} =e^{\alpha} cos(\beta)+ie^{\alpha} sin(\beta)$

$y(x)=c_1 (cos(2x)+isin(2x))+c_2(cos(2x)-isin(2x))\\\\Regroup\\\\y(x)=(c_1+c_2)cos(2x) +i(c_1-c_2)sin(2x)\\$

Redefine:

$i(c_1-c_2)=c_1\\\\c_1+c_2=c_2$

Since these are arbitrary constants

$y(x)=c_1sin(2x)+c_2cos(2x)$

Now, let's find its derivative in order to find $c_1$ and $c_2$

$y'(x)=2c_1 cos(2x)-2c_2sin(2x)$

Evaluating $y(0)=2$ :

$y(0)=2=c_1sin(0)+c_2cos(0)\\\\2=c_2$

Evaluating $y'(0)=2$ :

$y'(0)=2=2c_1cos(0)-2c_2sin(0)\\\\2=2c_1\\\\c_1=1$

Finally, the solution is given by:

$y(x)=sin(2x)+2cos(2x)$

The radius r and height h of a right circular cone are both increasing at a constant rate of 2 cm/h. At what rate in centimeters

Elden [556K]

Answer:

94.2

Step-by-step explanation:

i honestly dont know if this answer is right but i am currently takeing classes in math about Geometry. We was learning about Word problems, that had to do with volume, Area, and perimeter, and learned what radius is, etc..

So i thought you take the formula it gives you and use. Since Pie means 3.14 you use that in the formula. V= 1×3.14×2×15 = 94.2
you would multiply everything together because every number is close together.
the height is 15 cm, thats how you get 15 at the end.
next step is to solve the equation in your calculator. and it gives you that number. = 94.2

Question Help Of 515515 samples of seafood purchased from various kinds of food stores in different regions of a country and gen

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

(0.5848 ; 0.6552)

We are confident that about 58% to 66% of sea foods in the country are Mislabelled.

No, criticism isnt valid and generalization can be made once the assumptions for constructing a confidence interval is met.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample size, n = 51

p = 0.62

1 - p = 1 - 0.62 = 0.38

n = 515

Confidence level = 90% = Zcritical at 90% = 1.645

Confidence interval = (p ± margin of error)

Margin of Error = Zcritical * sqrt[(p(1-p))/n]

Margin of Error = 1.645 * sqrt[(0.62(0.38))/515]

Margin of Error = 1.645 * 0.0214

Margin of Error = 0.035203

Lower boundary = (0.62 - 0.035203) = 0.584797

Upper boundary = (0.62 + 0.035203) = 0.655203

(0.5848 ; 0.6552)

We are confident that about 58% to 66% of sea foods in the country are Mislabelled.

No, criticism isnt valid and generalization can be made once the assumptions for constructing a confidence interval is met.
