Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

p = 0.20

1 - p = 1 - 0.20 = 0.80

n = 130

\mu\hat p = p = 0.20

A) \sigma \hat p =  \sqrt[p( 1 - p ) / n] = \sqrt [(0.20 * 0.80 ) / 130] = 0.0351

B) P( \hat p > 0.15) = 1 - P( \hat p < 0.15)

= 1 - P(( \hat p - \mu \hat p ) / \sigma \hat p < (0.15 - 0.20) / 0.0351 )

= 1 - P(z < -1.42)

Using z table

= 1 - 0.0778

= 0.9222

C) P(0.18 < \hat p < 0.22)

= P[(0.18 - 0.20) / 0.0351 < ( \hat p - \mu \hat p ) / \sigma \hat p < (0.22 - 0.20) / 0.0351]

= P(-0.57 < z < 0.57)

= P(z < 0.57) - P(z < -0.57)

Using z table,    

= 0.7157 - 0.2843

= 0.4314

Find dy/dx if f(x) = (x + 8)^3x.
vlabodo [156]
This is quite a complex problem. I wrote out a really nice solution but I can't work out how to put it on the website as the app is very poorly made. Still, I'll just have to type it all in...

Okay so you need to use a technique called logarithmic differentiation. It seems quite unnatural to start with but the result is very impressive.

Let y = (x+8)^(3x)

Take the natural log of both sides:

ln(y) = ln((x+8)^(3x))

By laws of logarithms, this can be rearranged:

ln(y) = 3xln(x+8)

Next, differentiate both sides. By implicit differentiation:

d/dx(ln(y)) = 1/y dy/dx

The right hand side is harder to differentiate. Using the substitution u = 3x and v = ln(x+8):

d/dx(3xln(x+8)) = d/dx(uv)

du/dx = 3

Finding dv/dx is harder, and involves the chain rule. Let a = x+ 8:

v = ln(a)
da/dx = 1
dv/da = 1/a

By chain rule:

dv/dx = dv/da * da/dx = 1/a = 1/(x+8)

Finally, use the product rule:

d/dx(uv) = u * dv/dx + v * du/dx = 3x/(x+8) + 3ln(x+8)

This overall produces the equation:

1/y * dy/dx = 3x/(x+8) + 3ln(x+8)

We want to solve for dy/dx, achievable by multiplying both sides by y:

dy/dx = y(3x/(x+8) + 3ln(x+8))

Since we know y = (x+8)^(3x):

dy/dx = ((x+8)^(3x))(3x/(x+8) + 3ln(x+8))

Neatening this up a bit, we factorise out 3/(x+8):

dy/dx = (3(x+8)^(3x-1))(x + (x+8)ln(x+8))

Well wasn't that a marathon? It's a nightmare typing that in, I hope you can follow all the steps.

I hope this helped you :)

A welder requires 18 hours to do a job. After the welder and an apprentice work on a job for 6 hours, the welder moves to anothe
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

the apprentice can complete the job in 30 hours by working alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of hours required to complete a job by welder = 18 hours

Number of hours welder work on job = 6 hours.

Number of hours required by apprentice to complete the job = 14 hours

We need to find Number of hours required to complete a job by apprentice alone.

Solution:

Let Number of hours required to complete a job by apprentice alone be 'a'.

Also let the job completed be = 1

Now we know that ;

Time required on job is equal to sum of Number of hours welder work on job and Number of hours required by apprentice to complete the job.

framing in equation form we get

Time required on job =  6+14 =20\ hrs

Now we can say that;

each has done a fraction of the work so we will add to two fraction as number of hours of work done by Total number of hours required to do the work to complete 1 job.

so we can frame the equation as;

\frac{6}{18}+\frac{20}{a}=1

By reducing the fraction we get;

\frac{1}{3}+\frac{20}{a}=1

Now we will make the denominator common to solve the fraction we get;

\frac{1\times a}{3\times a}+\frac{20\times3}{a\times3}=1\\\\\frac{a}{3a}+\frac{60}{3a}=1

Now denominators are same so we will solve the numerator we get;

\frac{a+60}{3a}=1

Multiplying both side by 3a we get;

\frac{a+60}{3a}\times3a=1\times 3a\\\\a+60=3a

Combining the like terms we get;

3a-a=60\\\\2a=60

Dividing both side by 2 we get;

\frac{2a}{2}=\frac{60}{2}\\\\a=30\ hrs

Hence the apprentice can complete the job in 30 hours by working alone.
