Y = (1/4)x^2 - (1/2)lnx..over the interval (1, 7e) ...what is the arc length ?

xenn [34]

So, f[x] = 1/4x^2 - 1/2Ln(x)
thus f'[x] = 1/4*2x - 1/2*(1/x) = x/2 - 1/2x 
thus f'[x]^2 = (x^2)/4 - 2*(x/2)*(1/2x) + 1/(4x^2) = (x^2)/4 - 1/2 + 1/(4x^2) 
thus f'[x]^2 + 1 = (x^2)/4 + 1/2 + 1/(4x^2) = (x/2 + 1/2x)^2 
thus Sqrt[...] = (x/2 + 1/2x)

Find the distance between the points (1,8) and (9, 2).

grin007 [14]

Answer:

$distance = \sqrt{(x_{1} -x_{2})^2+(y_{1} -y_{2})^2 }\\\\$

$=\sqrt{(9-1)^2+(2-8)^2 }\\\\=\sqrt{8^2 + 6^2}\\\\=\sqrt{64 +36 }\\\\=\sqrt{100} = 10units$

When you buy an item on which sales tax is charged,the total cost is calculated by the formula T=P+s/100p where T is the total c

Gennadij [26K]

Given:

The formula for total cost is

$T=p+\dfrac{s}{100}p$

where, p is the price of item and s is the sales tax rate (as a percent).

You pay $14.77 for an item priced at $14.

To find:

The the tax rate.

Solution:

You pay $14.77 for an item priced at $14. So,

Total cost (T) = $14.77

Price of item (p) = $14

Putting T=14.77 and p=14 in given formula, we get

$14.77=14+\dfrac{s}{100}(14)$

$14.77-14=\dfrac{s}{100}(14)$

$0.77=\dfrac{s}{100}(14)$

Multiply both sides by 100.

$77=14s$

Divide both sides by 14.

$\dfrac{77}{14}=s$

$5.5=s$

Therefore, the tax rate is 5.5%.

The number of lightning strikes in a year at the top of a particular mountain has a poisson distribution with a mean of 3.8. fin

atroni [7]

Let X be the number of lightning strikes in a year at the top of particular mountain.

X follows Poisson distribution with mean μ = 3.8

We have to find here the probability that in randomly selected year the number of lightning strikes is 0

The Poisson probability is given by,

P(X=k) = $\frac{e^{-mean} mean^{x}}{x!}$

Here we have X=0, mean =3.8

Hence probability that X=0 is given by

P(X=0) = $\frac{e^{-3.8} 3.8^{0}}{0!}$

P(X=0) = $\frac{0.02237 * 1}{1}$

P(X=0) = 0.0224

The probability that in a randomly selected year, the number of lightning strikes is 0 is 0.0224

What is triangle ABC ? (line segments)

Bess [88]

Triangle ABD and ADC are righttriangles so u can use the Pythagorean theorem/triples. the triples are 3/4/5 and 5/12/13. 12 is 4x3, and 15 is 5x3, so BD is 3x3, which is 9. AC is 13, as it is part of the Pythagorean’s triples
