Answer:

63 ft²
h = 2A/b; h = 7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Put the values where the variables are in the formula, then do the arithmetic.

... A = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(18 ft)(7 ft) = 63 ft²

2. Divide by the coefficient of h. Substitute the given values and do the arithmetic.

... A = (1/2)bh

The coefficient of h is b/2, so we divide by that—or multiply by its inverse, 2/b.

... 2A/b = h

Substituting the given numbers, you have ...

... 2(28 ft²)/(8 ft) = h = 7 ft

The height of the triangle is 7 ft.

If we sample from a small finite population without replacement, the binomial distribution should not be used because the events

liraira [26]

Answer:

0.0008

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a hypergeometric probability is

$\frac{(_AC_x)(_BC_{n-x})}{_NC_n}$

where N is the population, A is the number of objects of type A, B is the number of objects of type B, n is the sample size and x is the number of successes.

In this problem, N is 13. A is 5, since there are 5 objects drawn, and B is 8, since there are 8 remaining objects.

The sample size, n, is 5, and x is 5:

$\frac{(_5C_5)(_8C_0)}{_{13}C_5}\\\\=\frac{1(1)}{1287}=\frac{1}{1287}\approx 0.0008$

A ladder 25 feet long is leaning against the wall of a house. The base of the ladder is pulled away from the wall at a rate of 2

Alika [10]

As the ladder is pulled away from the wall, the area and the height with the

wall are decreasing while the angle formed with the wall increases.

The correct response are;

(a) The velocity of the top of the ladder = 1.5 m/s downwards

(b) The rate the area formed by the ladder is changing is approximately -75.29 ft.²/sec

Reasons:

The given parameter are;

Length of the ladder, l = 25 feet

Rate at which the base of the ladder is pulled, $\displaystyle \frac{dx}{dt}$ = 2 feet per second

(a) Let y represent the height of the ladder on the wall, by chain rule of differentiation, we have;

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dt} = \mathbf{\frac{dy}{dx} \times \frac{dx}{dt}}$

25² = x² + y²

y = √(25² - x²)

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx} \sqrt{25^2 - x^2} = \frac{x \cdot \sqrt{625-x^2} }{x^2- 625}$

Which gives;

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{x \cdot \sqrt{625-x^2} }{x^2- 625}\times \frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{x \cdot \sqrt{625-x^2} }{x^2- 625}\times2$

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dt} = \mathbf{ \frac{x \cdot \sqrt{625-x^2} }{x^2- 625}\times2}$

When x = 15, we get;

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{15 \times \sqrt{625-15^2} }{15^2- 625}\times2 = \mathbf{-1.5}$

The velocity of the top of the ladder = 1.5 m/s downwards

When x = 20, we get;

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{20 \times \sqrt{625-20^2} }{20^2- 625}\times2 = -\frac{8}{3} = -2.\overline 6$

The velocity of the top of the ladder = $\underline{-2.\overline{6} \ m/s \ downwards}$

When x = 24, we get;

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{24 \times \sqrt{625-24^2} }{24^2- 625}\times2 = \mathbf{-\frac{48}{7}} \approx -6.86$

The velocity of the top of the ladder ≈ -6.86 m/s downwards

(b) $\displaystyle The \ area\ of \ the \ triangle, \ A =\mathbf{\frac{1}{2} \cdot x \cdot y}$

Therefore;

$\displaystyle The \ area\ A =\frac{1}{2} \cdot x \cdot \sqrt{25^2 - x^2}$

$\displaystyle \frac{dA}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx} \left (\frac{1}{2} \cdot x \cdot \sqrt{25^2 - x^2}\right) = \mathbf{\frac{(2 \cdot x^2- 625)\cdot \sqrt{625-x^2} }{2\cdot x^2 - 1250}}$

$\displaystyle \frac{dA}{dt} = \mathbf{ \frac{dA}{dx} \times \frac{dx}{dt}}$

Therefore;

$\displaystyle \frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{(2 \cdot x^2- 625)\cdot \sqrt{625-x^2} }{2\cdot x^2 - 1250} \times 2$

When the ladder is 24 feet from the wall, we have;

x = 24

$\displaystyle \frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{(2 \times 24^2- 625)\cdot \sqrt{625-24^2} }{2\times 24^2 - 1250} \times 2 \approx \mathbf{ -75.29}$

The rate the area formed by the ladder is changing, $\displaystyle \frac{dA}{dt}$ ≈ -75.29 ft.²/sec

$\displaystyle sin(\theta) = \frac{x}{25}$

$\displaystyle \theta = \mathbf{arcsin \left(\frac{x}{25} \right)}$

$\displaystyle \frac{d \theta}{dt} = \frac{d \theta}{dx} \times \frac{dx}{dt}$

$\displaystyle\frac{d \theta}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx} \left(arcsin \left(\frac{x}{25} \right) \right) = \mathbf{ -\frac{\sqrt{625-x^2} }{x^2 - 625}}$

Which gives;

$\displaystyle \frac{d \theta}{dt} = -\frac{\sqrt{625-x^2} }{x^2 - 625}\times \frac{dx}{dt}= \mathbf{ -\frac{\sqrt{625-x^2} }{x^2 - 625} \times 2}$

When x = 24 feet, we have;

$\displaystyle \frac{d \theta}{dt} = -\frac{\sqrt{625-24^2} }{24^2 - 625} \times 2 \approx \mathbf{ 0.286}$

Rate at which the angle between the ladder and the wall of the house is changing when the base of the ladder is 24 feet from the wall is $\displaystyle \frac{d \theta}{dt}$ ≈ 0.286 rad/sec
