What is the constant of variation, k,

2 answers:

6 0

The K-constant variation is the factor of the increase-decrease relationship between the x-variable and y-variable which can be stated as y=k*x or x=y/k. For example, if y variable equal 5 and the x variable equal 2 then the k-constant variation equal 2 (calculation y=k*x --> 5=2*2.5). This constant shows the relationship between the variables.

Given two variable which are either directly proportional to each other or inversely proportional to each other, the constant of variation k is the number that relates these two variables

Joe owns a stock which has probability .5 of going up. This morning, he bought a ticket in a lottery game which gives him a prob

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The probability that Joe's stock will go up and he will win in the lottery is 0.00005.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the events be denoted as:

X = the stock goes up

Y = Joe wins the lottery

Given:

P (X) = 0.50

P (Y) = 0.0001

The events of the stock going up is not dependent on the the event of Joe winning the lottery.

So the events X and Y are independent of each other.

Independent events are those events that can occur together at the same time.

The joint probability of two independent events A and B is,

$P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)$

Compute the value of P (X ∩ Y) as follows:

$P(X\cap Y)=P(X)\times P(Y)=0.50\times 0.0001=0.00005$

Thus, the probability that Joe's stock will go up and he will win in the lottery is 0.00005.

You buy a package of 12 pencils for $2.64 write this rate as a unit rate?

iogann1982 [59]

Unit rate means how much does it cost for 1 unit

2.64 for 12 pencils
find 1 pencil
divide both sides by 12
0.22 for 1 pencil

0.22 per pencil

Apply Gaussian quadrature with n = 4 to approximate integrate sin x^2dx from 1 to 5

maks197457 [2]

First, recall that Gaussian quadrature is based around integrating a function over the interval [-1,1], so transform the function argument accordingly to change the integral over [1,5] to an equivalent one over [-1,1].

$x=2t+3\iff t=\dfrac x2-\dfrac32\implies2\mathrm dt=\mathrm dx$
$x=1\implies t=\dfrac{2-6}4=-1$
$x=5\implies t=\dfrac{10-6}4=1$

So,

$\displaystyle\int_{x=1}^{x=5}\sin x^2\,\mathrm dx=\displaystyle2\int_{t=-1}^{t=1}\sin(2t+3)^2\,\mathrm dt$

Let $f(t)=2\sin(2t+3)^2$ . With $n=4$ , we're looking for coefficients $c_i$ and nodes $x_i$ , with $1\le i\le4$ , such that

$\displaystyle\int_{-1}^1f(t)\,\mathrm dt\approx c_1f(x_1)+\cdots+c_4f(x_4)$

You can either try solving for each with the help of a calculator, or look up the values of the weights and nodes (they're extensively tabulated, and I'll include a link to one such reference).

Using the quadrature, we then have

$\displaystyle\int_{-1}^1f(t)\,\mathrm dt\approx0.3749f(-0.8611)+0.6521f(-0.3400)+0.6521f(0.3400)+0.3749f-0.8611)$
$\displaystyle\int_{-1}^1f(t)\,\mathrm dt\approx0.5790$
