and 2 women are indistinguishable siamese twins (also dressed alike)?

Answer: 288ways

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 5men and 5women to be arranged, since the men must seat together, they will be arranged in 5! ways. For the women, since they must also seat together but with siamese twins between them, they can be arranged in 4! ways instead of 5! ways and this is due to presence of the twins among them.

Note that Siamese twins cannot be separated as such both are taken as one making it 4!.

Since the women and men are always sitting together, they can be arranged in 2! ways i.e 2 sexes

The final seating arrangement can be done in 2!×(5!+4!) ways

= 2× (120+24)

= 2×144

= 288ways.

Note that the arrangement of the men and women are added because they can only be arranged differently to ensure different sex are not sitting together.

Answer:

a non-negative integer

Step-by-step explanation:

Powers of variables in a polynomial are whole numbers, that is, non-negative integers.

For f(x) to be a polynomial function, the value of n must be a whole number.

Identify which of the following is most appropriate: discrete random variable, continuous random variable, or not a random varia

liraira [26]

Answer:

A.) Continuous random variable ;Not a random variable ; Discrete random Variable ; Continuous random variable ; discrete random variable

Step-by-step explanation:

Identify which is most appropriate category for the sample data given below :

a. Exact weights of the next 100 babies born in the United States

This is a continuous random varibake as it could take up any value including decimals in other to specify the exact weight of an individual.

b. Responses to the survey question "Which political party do you prefer?"

Not a random variable as the outcome to this question isn't numerical.

c. Numbers of spins of roulette wheels required to get the number 7

This is a discrete random variable as the number of roulette spins would be a whole number within a specified fic range.

d. Exact foot lengths of humans

Continuous random variable

The exact foot length of human would vary greatly and in a bid to give an exact value, foot length will most definitely take up decimal values

e. Shoe sizes (such as 8 or 8½) of humans.

This is also a discrete random variable as shoe sizes are restricted to a specific range. Even with the inclusion of 1/2 in the measurement, there are no values inbetween (8 and 8 1/2) which will be the same for the remaining value range.

In a parallelogram, if the measure of y is 32 degrees what is the measure of w

alekssr [168]

Talking about a parallelogram, we know that:
opposite sides and angles are congruent
in the picture below:
∠A = ∠C
AD = BC
if one angle is right, then the rest are right as well (making it a rectangle/square)
The consecutive angles are supplementary (meaning they add up to 180)
A + D = 180°

If y and w are consecutive angles, then
w = 180 - 32
=148°
If they are opposite angles, w = 32° (congruent angles)

Please help meeeee math

Q2. By the chain rule,

$\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{dy}{dt} \cdot \dfrac{dt}{dx} = \dfrac{\frac{dy}{dt}}{\frac{dx}{dt}}$

We have

$x=2t \implies \dfrac{dx}{dt}=2$

$y=t^4+1 \implies \dfrac{dy}{dt}=4t^3$

The slope of the tangent line to the curve at $t=1$ is then

$\dfrac{dy}{dx} \bigg|_{t=1} = \dfrac{4t^3}{2} \bigg|_{t=1} = 2t^3\bigg|_{t=1} = 2$

so the slope of the normal line is $-\frac12$ . When $t=1$ , we have

$x\bigg|_{t=1} = 2t\bigg|_{t=1} = 2$

$y\bigg|_{t=1} = (t^4+1)\bigg|_{t=1} = 2$

so the curve passes through (2, 2). Using the point-slope formula for a line, the equation of the normal line is

$y - 2 = -\dfrac12 (x - 2) \implies y = -\dfrac12 x + 3$

Q3. Differentiating with the product, power, and chain rules, we have

$y = x(x+1)^{1/2} \implies \dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{3x+2}{2\sqrt{x+1}} \implies \dfrac{dy}{dx}\bigg|_{x=3} = \dfrac{11}4$

The derivative vanishes when

$\dfrac{3x+2}{2\sqrt{x+1}} = 0 \implies 3x+2=0 \implies x = -\dfrac23$

Q4. Differentiating with the product and chain rules, we have

$y = (2x+1)e^{-2x} \implies \dfrac{dy}{dx} = -4xe^{-2x}$

The stationary points occur where the derivative is zero.

$-4xe^{-2x} = 0 \implies x = 0$

at which point we have

$y = (2x+1)e^{-2x} \bigg|_{x=0} = 1$

so the stationary point has coordinates (0, 1). By its "nature", I assume the question is asking what kind of local extremum this point. Compute the second derivative and evaluate it at $x=0$ .

$\dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}\bigg|_{x=0} = (8x-4)e^{-2x}\bigg|_{x=0} = -4 < 0$

The negative sign tells us this stationary point is a local maximum.

Q5. Differentiating the volume equation implicitly with respect to $t$ , we have

$V = \dfrac{4\pi}3 r^3 \implies \dfrac{dV}{dt} = 4\pi r^2 \dfrac{dr}{dt}$

When $r=5\,\rm cm$ , and given it changes at a rate $\frac{dr}{dt}=-1.5\frac{\rm cm}{\rm s}$ , we have

$\dfrac{dV}{dt} = 4\pi (5\,\mathrm{cm})^2 \left(-1.5\dfrac{\rm cm}{\rm s}\right) = -150\pi \dfrac{\rm cm^3}{\rm s}$

Q6. Given that $V=400\pi\,\rm cm^3$ is fixed, we have

$V = \pi r^2h \implies h = \dfrac{400\pi}{\pi r^2} = \dfrac{400}{r^2}$

Substitute this into the area equation to make it dependent only on $r$ .

$A = \pi r^2 + 2\pi r \left(\dfrac{400}{r^2}\right) = \pi r^2 + \dfrac{800\pi}r$

Find the critical points of $A$ .

$\dfrac{dA}{dr} = 2\pi r - \dfrac{800\pi}{r^2} = 0 \implies r = \dfrac{400}{r^2} \implies r^3 = 400 \implies r = 2\sqrt[3]{50}$

Check the sign of the second derivative at this radius to confirm it's a local minimum (sign should be positive).

$\dfrac{d^2A}{dr^2}\bigg|_{r=2\sqrt[3]{50}} = \left(2\pi + \dfrac{1600\pi}{r^3}\right)\bigg|_{r=2\sqrt[3]{50}} = 6\pi > 0$

Hence the minimum surface area is

$A\bigg_{r=2\sqrt[3]{50}\,\rm cm} = \left(\pi r^2 + \dfrac{800\pi}r\right)\bigg|_{r=2\sqrt[3]{50}\,\rm cm} = 60\pi\sqrt[3]{20}\,\rm cm^2$

Q7. The volume of the box is

$V = 8x^2$

(note that the coefficient 8 is measured in cm) while its surface area is

$A = 2x^2 + 12x$

(there are two $x$ -by- $x$ faces and four 8-by- $x$ faces; again, the coefficient 12 has units of cm).

When $A = 210\,\rm cm^2$ , we have

$210 = 2x^2 + 12x \implies x^2 + 6x - 105 = 0 \implies x = -3 \pm\sqrt{114}$

This has to be a positive length, so we have $x=\sqrt{114}-3\,\rm cm$ .

Given that $\frac{dx}{dt}=0.05\frac{\rm cm}{\rm s}$ , differentiate the volume and surface area equations with respect to $t$ .

$\dfrac{dV}{dt} = (16\,\mathrm{cm})x \dfrac{dx}{dt} = (16\,\mathrm{cm})(\sqrt{114}-3\,\mathrm{cm})\left(0.05\dfrac{\rm cm}{\rm s}\right) = \dfrac{4(\sqrt{114}-3)}5 \dfrac{\rm cm^3}{\rm s}$

$\dfrac{dA}{dt} = 4x\dfrac{dx}{dt} + (12\,\mathrm{cm})\dfrac{dx}{dt} = \left(4(\sqrt{114}-3\,\mathrm {cm}) + 12\,\mathrm{cm}\right)\left(0.05\dfrac{\rm cm}{\rm s}\right) = \dfrac{\sqrt{114}}5 \dfrac{\rm cm^2}{\rm s}$
