Answer:

(i) The length of AC is 32 units, (ii) The length of BC is 51 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) Let suppose that AB and BC are collinear to each other, that is, that both segments are contained in the same line. Algebraically, it can be translated into this identity:

$AC = AB + BC$

If we know that $AB = 8$ and $BC = 24$ , then:

$AC = 8 + 24$

$AC = 32$

The length of AC is 32 units.

(ii) Let suppose that AB and AC are collinear to each other, that is, that both segments are contained in the same line. Algebraically, it can be translated into this identity:

$AC = AB + BC$

$BC = AC - AB$

If we know that $AC = 68$ and $AB = 17$ , then:

$BC = 68-17$

$BC = 51$

The length of BC is 51 units.

2x^2+3x-2, a=0 How do I find the derivative?

Ghella [55]

You can use the definition:

$\displaystyle f'(x) = \lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}h$

Then if

$f(x) = 2x^2+3x-2$

we have

$f(x+h) = 2(x+h)^2+3(x+h) - 2 = 2x^2 + 4xh+2h^2+3x+3h-2$

Then the derivative is

$\displaystyle f'(x) = \lim_{h\to0}\frac{(2x^2+4xh+2h^2+3x+3h-2)-(2x^2+3x-2)}h \\\\ f'(x) = \lim_{h\to0}\frac{4xh+2h^2+3h}h \\\\ f'(x) = \lim_{h\to0}(4x+2h+3) = \boxed{4x+3}$

I'm guessing the second part of the question asks you to find the tangent line to f(x) at the point a = 0. The slope of the tangent line to this point is

$f'(0) = 4(0) + 3 = 3$

and when a = 0, we have f(a) = f (0) = -2, so the graph of f(x) passes through the point (0, -2).

Use the point-slope formula to get the equation of the tangent line:

y - (-2) = 3 (x - 0)

y + 2 = 3x

y = 3x - 2

According to one pollster, 43 % of people are afraid of flying. Suppose that a sample of size 26 is drawn. Find the value of sta

VikaD [51]

Answer: 0.0971

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size : $n=26$

The percent of people are afraid of flying $=43\%$

Thus the proportion of people are afraid of flying $P=0.43$

We know that the formula to find the standard deviation of the distribution of sample proportions is given by :-

$\text{S.E.}=\sqrt{\dfrac{P(1-P)}{n}}\\\\\Rightarrow\text{S.E.}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.43(1-0.43)}{26}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{S.E.}=0.0970923430396\approx0.0971$

Hence, the standard deviation of the distribution of sample proportions = 0.0971
