g is constructing a triangular sail for a sailboat. Aluminum supports will run along the horizontal base and vertical height of

the sail, respectively. After making some measurements, Calculo determines that the height of the sail cannot exceed 12 feet, or else it will not be able to fit under the bridges in the area. In addition, the total weight of the supports cannot exceed 80 pounds, or else the boat will sink. If aluminum weighs 5 pounds per foot, what is the area of the largest sail Calculo can build? Fully justify your answer, doing each step you learned in the class prep. In particular, you must show that the area you found is indeed the largest possible.

Answer: A (max) = 1/2 ( 8 * 8 )   = 32 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two constrains

a) The height of the sail ( support) cannot exceed 12 feet

b) The total weight of the supports cannot exceed 80 pounds

The weight of a foot of aluminum is 5 .

If we call:

x lenght of base support,  y  height of the vertical support  and the sail shape (is a triangle) we have

A = 1/2* ( x + y )

We know that (given a constant perimeter rectangle, the maximun area  is the square

A = x * y                P = 2x +2y         y = (P - 2x ) ÷ 2  

A = x * ( P - 2x ) ÷ 2  ⇒    A = (Px -2x²) ÷ 2

if we get derivative      A´(x) = (P-4x)/2     ⇒  (P-4x)/2   = 0

P = 4x and    x = P/4

Now we can look an square as two straight triangles joined by the diagonal and these two triangles are of area maximun.

Therefore in our case the sail must be of 8 x 8 feet (base and height)

A (max) = 1/2 ( 8 * 8 )   = 32 ft²   and we will keep the condition of weigh

8 + 8 = 16 feet   and the supports weights  16 * 5  = 80 pounds

AlekseyPX

Answer:

Null hypothesis: There is no relationship between direction of the ball and if it resulted in a hit or an out.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, the experiment conducted is to determine whether there is any relationship between the direction of the ball and if it resulted in a hit or an out.

A random sample of 300 balls hit into play in college baseball games is taken. For each ball hit into play, it is recorded whether the ball was hit to the left, center, or right of the field, and whether the ball resulted in a hit or an out.

The regression analysis would be used to determine whether there is any relationship between direction of the ball and if it resulted in a hit or an out.

The hypothesis for the regression analysis is defined as follows:

<em>H</em>₀: There is no relationship between direction of the ball and if it resulted in a hit or an out.

<em>H</em>ₐ: There is a significant relationship between direction of the ball and if it resulted in a hit or an out.

What is the mode of the data set?
strojnjashka [21]

The data set is

20

32, 34, 36

40, 42, 44, 48

55

65

We can see that each value only shows up one time. Therefore there is no mode. To have a mode, we need to have a value show up more than once, and it must be the most frequent value. For example, the set {1,2,3,3,4} has a mode of 3 since it shows up twice, the most of any value in that set. However we don't have that occur for the data set your teacher gave you.

<h3>Final Answer: There is no mode for this data set</h3>
