Answer:

456.2 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the square base is ...

base area = w² = (10 units)² = 100 units²

The lateral area is 4 times the area of one rectangular face:

lateral area = 4wx = 4(10 units)(5 units) = 200 units²

The area of one triangular face is half the product of its base length (w) and its slant height (h). The latter is found using the Pythagorean theorem:

h² = y² +(w/2)² = (6 units)² +((10 units)/2)² = 61 units²

h = √61 units

So, the area of 4 triangles is ...

area of triangular faces = 4(1/2)wh = 2(10 units)(√61 units) ≈ 156.2 units²

Now we have the areas of the parts, so we can add them together to get the total surface area:

surface area = base area + lateral area + area of triangular faces

= 100 units² + 200 units² + 156.2 units²

surface area = 456.2 units²

Answer:

Part A)

The x-intercepts are (-1/4, 0) and (4, 0).

Part B)

The vertex is a maximum because the leading coefficient is negative.

The vertex is (1.875, 72.25).

Part C)

We can plot the zeros and the vertex, and connect them with a curve.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function given is:

$f(x)=-16x^2+60x+16$

Part A)

To find the x-intercepts of the function, set the function equal to 0 and solve for x:

$0=-16x^2+60x+16$

We can divide both sides by negative four:

$0=4x^2-15x-4$

Factor:

$0=(4x+1)(x-4)$

Zero Product Property:

$x-4=0\text{ or } 4x+1=0$

Solve for each case:

$\displaystyle x=-\frac{1}{4}\text{ or }x=4$

Hence, our zeros are:

$\displaystyle \left(-\frac{1}{4}, 0\right)\text{ and } \left(4, 0\right)$

Part B)

Note that the leading coefficient of our function is negative.

So, our function will be concave down.

Hence, our vertex will be the maximum.

The vertex is given by:

$\displaystyle \left(-\frac{b}{2a}, f\left(-\frac{b}{2a}\right)\right)$

In this case, a = -16, b = 60, and c = 16.

Find the x-coordinate of the vertex:

$\displaystyle x=-\frac{(60)}{2(-16)}=\frac{15}{8}=1.875$

Substitute this back into the function to find the y-coordinate:

$f(1.875)=-16(1.875)^2+60(1.875)+16=72.25$

Hence, our vertex is:

$(1.875, 72.25)$

Part C)

Since we already determined the zeros and the vertex, we can plot the two zeros and the vertex and draw a curve between the three points.

The graph is shown below. Again, to do this by hand, simply plot the three points and connect them with a parabola. If necessary, we can also find the y-intercept.

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

A data set consists of 2,2,3,4,5,5 and 7. Then, 20 is added to the data set. The new value will have the little effect on the median, but it will raise the mean significantly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, we all know that the measures of central tendency are:

Arithmetic Mean
Median
Mode
Geometric Mean
Harmonic Mean

Let us define Arithmetic Mean and Median.

Arithmetic mean is the sum of observations divided by the total number of observations. It is denoted by (x bar).

On the other hand, median of a distribution is that value of the variable which divides it into two equal parts.

For Arithmetic Mean:

According to the question, when data set consists 2,2,3,4,5,5 and 7, the arithmetic mean for the given data = 4

After adding 20 the given data set, the mean will be = 6

For median:

When data set consists of 2,2,3,4,5,5 and 7, the median value will be the middle value of the distribution i.e. = 4

After adding 20 to the given data set, the median will be = 4.5

Here we can say that 20 is an outlier for the given data set.

Since mean has the significant effect of the outlier because it is based on all values but the median has lesser effects of the outlier as it is based only on middle values. So whatever outlier is added to median, it will not show particular changes.

Thus , a data set consists of 2,2,3,4,5,5 and 7. Then, 20 is added to the data set. The new value will have little effect on median, but it will raise the mean significantly.
