Answer:

1:5

Step-by-step explanation:

First We Add The Number Of Students.

7+9+4+5=25

the students were divided into 5 kind of sports so it will be 5/25

5/25 means 1/5 and

1/5 means 1:5

Answer:

Total number of students= 7+ 9+4+5= 25

Tennis: total= 5:25= 1:5 (simplify by dividing both sides by 5

Evaluate the following limit:

Makovka662 [10]

If we evaluate the function at infinity, we can immediately see that:

$\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{\displaystyle L = \lim_{x \to \infty}{\frac{(x^2 + 1)^2 - 3x^2 + 3}{x^3 - 5}} = \frac{\infty}{\infty}} \end{gathered}$}$

Therefore, we must perform an algebraic manipulation in order to get rid of the indeterminacy.

We can solve this limit in two ways.

<h3>Way 1:</h3>

By comparison of infinities:

We first expand the binomial squared, so we get

$\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \displaystyle L = \lim_{x \to \infty}{\frac{x^4 - x^2 + 4}{x^3 - 5}} = \infty \end{gathered}$}$

Note that in the numerator we get x⁴ while in the denominator we get x³ as the highest degree terms. Therefore, the degree of the numerator is greater and the limit will be \infty. Recall that when the degree of the numerator is greater, then the limit is \infty if the terms of greater degree have the same sign.

<h3>Way 2</h3>

Dividing numerator and denominator by the term of highest degree:

$\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf L = \lim_{x \to \infty}\frac{x^{4}-x^{2} +4 }{x^{3}-5 } \end{gathered}$}\\$

$\ \ = \lim_{x \to \infty\frac{\frac{x^{4} }{x^{4} }-\frac{x^{2} }{x^{4}}+\frac{4}{x^{4} } }{\frac{x^{3} }{x^{4}}-\frac{5}{x^{4}} } }$

$\large\displaystyle\text{$\begin{gathered}\sf \bf{=\lim_{x \to \infty}\frac{1-\frac{1}{x^{2} } +\frac{4}{x^{4} } }{\frac{1}{x}-\frac{5}{x^{4} } } \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ =\frac{1}{0}=\infty } \end{gathered}$}$

Note that, in general, 1/0 is an indeterminate form. However, we are computing a limit when x →∞, and both the numerator and denominator are positive as x grows, so we can conclude that the limit will be ∞.

5. photo album: $25.50, 10% markup

sasho [114]

Answer:

$28.05

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to find how much the photo album is after the markup, you first have to find 10% of the original price. 10% of $25.50 is $2.55, so you add $2.55 and $25.50 to find the price after the markup.

Hope this helps!

How to get x when x^3-x^2+x-1=0?

Art [367]

Answer:

x = 1 or x = ± i

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the sum of the coefficients

1 - 1 + 1 - 1 = 0

This indicates that x = 1 is a root, thus (x - 1) is a factor

Using long division or synthetic division, then

x³ - x² + x - 1 = (x - 1)(x² + 1), thus

(x - 1)(x² + 1) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

x² + 1 = 0 ⇒ x² = - 1 ⇒ x = ± $\sqrt{-1}$ = ± i

Two streams flow into a reservoir. Let X and Y be two continuous random variables representing the flow of each stream with join

zlopas [31]

Answer:

c = 0.165

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x, y) = cx y(1 + y) for 0 ≤ x ≤ 3 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 3,

f(x, y) = 0 otherwise.

Required:

The value of c

To find the value of c, we make use of the property of a joint probability distribution function which states that

$\int\limits^a_b \int\limits^a_b {f(x,y)} \, dy \, dx = 1$

where a and b represent -infinity to +infinity (in other words, the bound of the distribution)

By substituting cx y(1 + y) for f(x, y) and replacing a and b with their respective values, we have

$\int\limits^3_0 \int\limits^3_0 {cxy(1+y)} \, dy \, dx = 1$

Since c is a constant, we can bring it out of the integral sign; to give us

$c\int\limits^3_0 \int\limits^3_0 {xy(1+y)} \, dy \, dx = 1$

Open the bracket

$c\int\limits^3_0 \int\limits^3_0 {xy+xy^{2} } \, dy \, dx = 1$

Integrate with respect to y

$c\int\limits^3_0 {\frac{xy^{2}}{2} +\frac{xy^{3}}{3} } \, dx (0,3}) = 1$

Substitute 0 and 3 for y

$c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{x* 3^{2}}{2} +\frac{x * 3^{3}}{3} ) - (\frac{x* 0^{2}}{2} +\frac{x * 0^{3}}{3})} \, dx = 1$

$c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{x* 9}{2} +\frac{x * 27}{3} ) - (0 +0) \, dx = 1$

$c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{9x}{2} +\frac{27x}{3} ) \, dx = 1$

Add fraction

$c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{27x + 54x}{6}) \, dx = 1$

$c\int\limits^3_0 {\frac{81x}{6} \, dx = 1$

Rewrite;

$c\int\limits^3_0 (81x * \frac{1}{6}) \, dx = 1$

The $\frac{1}{6}$ is a constant, so it can be removed from the integral sign to give

$c * \frac{1}{6}\int\limits^3_0 (81x ) \, dx = 1$

$\frac{c}{6}\int\limits^3_0 (81x ) \, dx = 1$

Integrate with respect to x

$\frac{c}{6} * \frac{81x^{2}}{2} (0,3) = 1$

Substitute 0 and 3 for x

$\frac{c}{6} * \frac{81 * 3^{2} - 81 * 0^{2}}{2} = 1$

$\frac{c}{6} * \frac{81 * 9 - 0}{2} = 1$

$\frac{c}{6} * \frac{729}{2} = 1$

$\frac{729c}{12} = 1$

Multiply both sides by $\frac{12}{729}$

$c = \frac{12}{729}$

$c = 0.0165 (Approximately)$
