Answer:

<h2> 63mm/min</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle = 1/2 * base * height

A = 1/2bh

Rate of change of area is expresssed as dA/dt = dA/db * db/bt

db/dt is the rate at which the base is increasing.

Given db/dt = 18mm/min

A = 1/2*7b

A = 7b/2

dA/db = 7/2

The rate at which the area is changing dA/dt = dA/db * db/bt

dA/dt = 7/2 * 18

dA/dt = 7*9

dA/dt = 63mm/min

<em>Hence the rate at which the area of the triangle is changing is  63mm/min </em>

Y=-1/2x +7
yarga [219]

Answer:

B; (2,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of a straight line is;

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

So from the question, when we look at the given equation, its slope is -1/2

mathematically, when two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is -1

thus;

m1 * m2 = -1

m2 * -1/2 = -1

-m2 = -2

m2 = 2

The general equation form is;

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

where (x1,y1) = (4,0)

y-0 = 2(x-4)

y = 2x - 8

So, now we look at the point that will work for this equation

For the line that will work, if we substitute its x-value, we get the y-value

Let us take a look at option B

y = 2(2) -8 = 4-8 = -4

we can see that (2,-4) works

The length of the human pregnancy is not fixed. It is known that it varies according to a distribution which is roughly normal,
fgiga [73]

Answer:

a) Figure attached

b) P(234

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(234

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-2

An we know using the graph in part a that this area correspond to 0.95 or 95%

c) P(250

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-1

An we know using the graph in part a that this area correspond to 0.95 or 34+34+13.5+2.35%=83.85%

d) P(X

And using the z score we got:

P(X

And that correspond to approximately 0.15%

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

For this case we can see the figure attached.

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Part b

Let X the random variable that represent the length of human pregnancy of a population, and for this case we know that:

Where \mu=266 and \sigma=16

We are interested on this probability

P(234

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(234

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-2

An we know using the graph in part a that this area correspond to 0.95 or 95%

Part c

P(250

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-1

An we know using the graph in part a that this area correspond to 0.95 or 34+34+13.5+2.35%=83.85%

Part d

We want this probability:

P(X

And using the z score we got:

P(X

And that correspond to approximately 0.15%
