The volume V of a gas varies inversely as the pressure P and directly as the temperature A certain gas has a volume of 10 liters

(L), a temperature of 300 kelvins (K), and a pressure of 1.5 atmospheres (atm). If a gas has a temperature of 400 kelvins and a pressure of 5 atmospheres; what is its volume?

Answer:

Joint variation states that:

If z is directly proportional to x and inversely proportional to y,

i.e, z \propto x , z \propto \frac{1}{y}

then the equation is in the form: z = k\frac{x}{y} where k is the constant of variation.

From the given information: The volume V of a gas varies inversely as the pressure P and directly as the temperature

i.,e V \propto T , V \propto \frac{1}{P}

by definition of joint variation:

V = k\frac{T}{P}  .....[1] where k is the constant of variation.

It is also given that a certain gas has a volume of 10 liters(L) , a temperature of 300 kelvins(K), and a pressure of 1.5 atmosphere(atm).

Substitute these given values in [1] to solve for k;

10 = k\frac{300}{1.5}

Simplify:

10 = 200k

Divide by 200 both sides we have;

k = \frac{10}{200} =\frac{1}{20}

Now, if a gas has a temperature of 400 kelvins and a pressure of 5 atm.

To find the volume (V);

Now substitute the given data and value of k in [1] we have;

V = \frac{1}{20} \cdot \frac{400}{5} = \frac{20}{5} = 4

Therefore, the Volume of a gas is, 4 liters

56. How many tangent lines to the curve <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3Dx%20%2F%28x%2B1%29" id="TexFormula1" title="y=x /(
PIT_PIT [208]

There are 2 tangent lines that pass through the point

y=\frac{1}{(-1+\sqrt{3)^2} } (x-1)+2

and

y=\frac{1}{(-1-\sqrt{3)^2} } (x-1)+2

Explanation:

Given:

y=\frac{x}{x+1}

The point-slope form of the equation of a line tells us that the form of the tangent lines must be:

y=m(x-1)+2 [1]

For the lines to be tangent to the curve, we must substitute the first derivative of the curve for m:

\frac{dy}{dx} =\frac{d(x)}{dx}(x+1)-x^\frac{d(x+1)}{dx} \\ \\

\frac{dy}{dx} =\frac{x+1-x}{(x+1)^2}

\frac{dy}{dx}= \frac{1}{(x+1)^2}

m=\frac{1}{(x+1)^2} [2]

Substitute equation [2] into equation [1]:

y=\frac{x-1}{(x+1)^2}+2 [1.1]

Because the line must touch the curve, we may substitute y=\frac{x}{x+1}:

\frac{x}{x+1}=\frac{x-1}{(x+1)^2}+2

Solve for x:

x(x+1)=(x-1)+2(x+1)^2

x^2+x=x-1+2x^2+4x+2

x^2+4x+1

x\frac{-4±\sqrt{4^2-4(1)(1)} }{2(1)}

x=-2 ± \sqrt{3}

x=-2 ± \sqrt{3}<em> </em>and x=-2-\sqrt{3}

There are 2 tangent lines.

y=\frac{1}{(-1+\sqrt{3)^2} } (x-1)+2

and

y=\frac{1}{(-1-\sqrt{3)^2} } (x-1)+2

8. You recorded the time in seconds it took for 8 participants to solve a puzzle. The times were: 15.2, 18.8, 19.3, 19.7, 20.2,
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Xbar = 20.813

Median = 19.95

5 - number summary :

Minimum = 15.2

Q1 = 19.05; Q2 = 19.95 ; Q3 = 21.95 ; maximum = 29.4

Standard deviation, s = 4.068

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

X : 15.2, 18.8, 19.3, 19.7, 20.2, 21.8, 22.1, 29.4

Ordered data:

15.2, 18.8, 19.3, 19.7, 20.2, 21.8, 22.1, 29.4

The mean (xbar) :

Xbar = Σx / n ; n = sample size = 8

Xbar = 166.8 / 8 = 20.8125

Xbar = 20.813

The median :

1/2 *(n+1)th term

1/2(9) = 4.5

(4 + 5)th term / 2

(19.7 + 20.2) / 2 = 19.95

The five number summary :

Minimum = 15.2

Lower quartile (Q1) = 1/4(9) = 2.25 ; (2nd + 3rd) term / 2

(18.8 + 19.3) / 2 = 19.05

Median (Q2) = 19.95

Upper quartile (Q3) :

3/4(9) = 6.75 = (6th + 7th) / 2

(21.8 + 22.1) / 2 = 21.95

Maximum = 29.4

The standard deviation, s = sqrt[(x - xbar)²/ (n-1)]

Using calculator ;

s = 4.068
