Brut [27]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

99.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Bell shaped curve by empirical rule is that if the standard deviation from the mean (left to right) is 1 deviation then about 68% of the data is in that range if it’s 2 standard deviations away then it’s 95% and 3 deviations away is 99.7%

142-100=42=3(14)

100-58=42=3(14)

Therefore the data is three standard deviations from the mean and this there is 99.7% of the data in this range.

Find the equation of the axis of symmetry of the following parabola algebraically.
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

the equation of the axis of symmetry is x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the equation of the axis of symmetry for a parabola with vertical branches like this one, is an equation of a vertical line that passes through the very vertex of the parabola and divides it into its two symmetric branches. Such vertical line would have therefore an expression of the form: x=constant, being that constant the very x-coordinate of the vertex.

So we use for that the fact that the x position of  the vertex of a parabola of the general form: y=ax^2+bx+c, is given by:

x_{vertex}=\frac{-b}{2\,a}

which in our case becomes:

x_{vertex}=\frac{-b}{2\,a} \\x_{vertex}=\frac{48}{2\,(3)} \\x_{vertex}=\frac{48}{6} \\x_{vertex}=8

Then, the equation of the axis of symmetry for this parabola is:

x=8

A rectangular area of 36 f t2 is to be fenced off. Three sides will use fencing costing $1 per foot and the remaining side will
OLga [1]

Answer:

x = 8,49 ft

y  = 4,24  ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  x be the longer side of rectangle   and  y  the shorter

Area of rectangle     =    36 ft²     36  =  x* y   ⇒ y =36/x

Perimeter of rectangle:

P  =  2x   +   2y    for convinience we will write it as    P  = ( 2x + y ) + y

C(x,y)   =  1 * ( 2x  +  y  )  +  3* y

The cost equation as function of x is:

C(x)  =  2x  + 36/x   + 108/x

C(x)  =  2x  + 144/x

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation

C´(x)  = 2  - 144/x²

C´(x)  = 0         2  - 144/x² = 0       ⇒  2x²  -144 = 0    ⇒  x² =  72

x = 8,49 ft       y  = 36/8.49    y  = 4,24  ft    

How can we be sure that value will give us a minimun

We get second derivative

C´(x)  = 2  - 144/x²      ⇒C´´(x)  = 2x (144)/ x⁴

so C´´(x) > 0

condition for a minimum

Which statement is true? 5 6 8 27 을 ll &lt; - 3 8 4 8 6 6
Neko [114]
Fractions

We are going to be checking each statement in order to find which of them are correct:

<h2>5/6 < 6/8 - 5/6 is smaller than 6/8</h2>

We can see that in the drawing 3/8 is smaller than 5/6. Then this statement is false.

<h2>4/6 < 5/8 - 4/6 is smaller than 5/8</h2>

We can see that in the drawing 5/8 is smaller than 4/6. Then this statement is false.

<h2>2/6 = 3/8 - 2/6 is equal to 3/8</h2>

We can see that in the drawing 3/8 is bigger than 2/6. Then this statement is false.

<h2>3/6 = 4/8 - 3/6 is equal to 4/8</h2>

We can see that in the drawing 4/8 is equal to 3/6. Then this statement is true.

<h2>Answer: 3/6 = 4/8</h2>
