Answer:

15 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, the illustration for the problem is a right triangle with:

hypotenuse (C)= the length of the ladder = L

horizontal side(A) = distance from bottom of the ladder to the building = L - 6

vertical side(B) = distance from the top of the ladder to the bottom of the building = L - 3

So, we can use Pythagoras formula:

A2 +B2= C2

(L – 6 )² + (L-3)² = L²

L²-12L+36+L²-6L+9 =L²

L2 -18L+45 =0

APPLYING QUADRATIC FORMULA WE OBTAIN:

L =15 OR L=3

If L=3

Vertical side = L-3 = 0 (Length can´t be 0)

So L=15

Answer:

Hello,

answer B

2

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{2}{x} -\dfrac{x}{x+5} =\dfrac{10}{x^2+5x} \\\\we\ suppose\ x\neq 0\ and\ x\neq -5\\\\\text{Reducing to the same denominator}\\\dfrac{2(x+5)-x^2}{x(x+5)} =\dfrac{10}{x^2+5x} \\\\Simplify\ by\ x^2+5x\\\\2x+10-x^2=10\\\\-x^2+2x=0\\\\-x(x-2)=0\\\\roots\ are\ 2 \ and\ 0\ (to\ be\ excluded)\\\\Root=2\\

The times to process orders at the service counter of a pharmacy are exponentially distributed with mean 1 0 minutes. If 100 cus
g100num [7]

Answer:

Therefore,  the probability that at least half of them need to wait more than 10 minutes is <em>0.0031</em>.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the probability of an exponential distribution is:

P(x < b) = 1 - e^(b/3)

Using the complement rule, we can determine the probability of a customer having to wait more than 10 minutes, by:

p = P(x > 10)

  = 1 - P(x < 10)

  = 1 - (1 - e^(-10/10) )

  = e⁻¹

  = 0.3679

The z-score is the difference in sample size and the population mean, divided by the standard deviation:

z = (p' - p) / √[p(1 - p) / n]

  = (0.5 - 0.3679) / √[0.3679(1 - 0.3679) / 100)]

  = 2.7393

Therefore, using the probability table, you find that the corresponding probability is:

P(p' ≥ 0.5) = P(z > 2.7393)

<em>P(p' ≥ 0.5) = 0.0031</em>

<em></em>

Therefore,  the probability that at least half of them need to wait more than 10 minutes is <em>0.0031</em>.

According to data from a medical​ association, the rate of change in the number of hospital outpatient​ visits, in​ millions, in
GaryK [48]

Answer:

a) f(t)=0.001155[\frac{2}{3}t(t-1980)^{3/2}-\frac{4}{15}(t-1980)^{5/2}]+264,034,000

b) f(t=2015) = 264,034,317.7

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change in the number of hospital outpatient​ visits, in​ millions, is given by:

f'(t)=0.001155t(t-1980)^{0.5}

a) To find the function f(t) you integrate f(t):

\int \frac{df(t)}{dt}dt=f(t)=\int [0.001155t(t-1980)^{0.5}]dt

To solve the integral you use:

\int udv=uv-\int vdu\\\\u=t\\\\du=dt\\\\dv=(t-1980)^{1/2}dt\\\\v=\frac{2}{3}(t-1980)^{3/2}

Next, you replace in the integral:

\int t(t-1980)^{1/2}=t(\frac{2}{3}(t-1980)^{3/2})- \frac{2}{3}\int(t-1980)^{3/2}dt\\\\= \frac{2}{3}t(t-1980)^{3/2}-\frac{4}{15}(t-1980)^{5/2}+C

Then, the function f(t) is:

f(t)=0.001155[\frac{2}{3}t(t-1980)^{3/2}-\frac{4}{15}(t-1980)^{5/2}]+C'

The value of C' is deduced by the information of the exercise. For t=0 there were 264,034,000 outpatient​ visits.

Hence C' = 264,034,000

The function is:

f(t)=0.001155[\frac{2}{3}t(t-1980)^{3/2}-\frac{4}{15}(t-1980)^{5/2}]+264,034,000

b) For t = 2015 you have:

f(t=2015)=0.001155[\frac{2}{3}(2015)(2015-1980)^{1/2}-\frac{4}{15}(2015-1980)^{5/2}]+264,034,000\\\\f(t=2015)=264,034,317.7
