Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number can be expressed in the form

$\frac{a}{b}$ , where a and b are integers

2.85 = 2 $\frac{85}{100}$ = $\frac{285}{100}$ ← a rational number

Suppose an airline policy states that all baggage must be box shaped with a sum of length, width, and height not exceeding 174 i

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The square-based box with the greatest volume under the condition that the sum of length, width, and heigth does not exceed 174 in is a cube with each edge of 58 in and a volume of $195112 in^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem we have two constraints, that are as follows:

1) Sum of length, width, and heigth not exceeding 174 in

2) Lenght and width have the same measure (square-based box)

We know that volume is equal to the product of all three edges, and with the two conditions into account we have the next function:

$V=(w^{2})(174-2w)\\V=174w^{2}-2w^{3}$

The interval of interest of the objective function is [0, 87]

This problem requieres that we maximize the function that defines the volume. We start calculating the derivative of the function, wich is:

$V'=348w-6w^{2} \\V'=(348-6w)(w)$

We need to remember that the derivative of a function represents the slope of said function at a given point. The maximum value of the function will have a slope equal to zero.

So we find the value in wich the derivative equals zero:

$0=(348-6w)(w)\\w_1=0\\w_2=348/6=58$

The first value ( $w=0$ ) will leave us with a 'height-only box', so the answer must be $w=58 in$

The value is between the interval of interest.

And, once we solve for the constraints, we have that:

Lenght = Width = Heigth = 58 in

Volume = $195112 in^{2}$

If the inspection division of a county weights and measures department wants to estimate the mean amount of

Amanda [17]

If inspection department wants to estimate the mean amount with 95% confidence level with standard deviation 0.05 then it needed a sample size of 97.

Given 95% confidence level, standard deviation=0.05.

We know that margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

We assume that the values follow normal distribution. Normal distribution is a probability that is symmetric about the mean showing the data near the mean are more frequent in occurence than data far from mean.

We know that margin of error for a confidence interval is given by:

Me= $z/2* ST/\sqrt{N}$

α=1-0.95=0.05

α/2=0.025

z with α/2=1.96 (using normal distribution table)

Solving for n using formula of margin of error.

$n=(z/2ST/Me)^{2}$

n= $(1.96*0.05)^{2} /(0.01)^{2}$

=96.4

By rounding off we will get 97.

Hence the sample size required will be 97.

Find the constant proportionality (r) using the value for r, enter an equation in the form of. C=rg that represents the relation

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

3.333

C = 3.3333g

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the relation : C = rg

C = Total cost of gasoline

g = Number of gallons of gasoline used

r = constant of proportionality

Picking any point on the graph :

At cost, c = $30

Number of gallons of gasoline used, g = 9

Putting the values into our equation :

C = rg

$30 = r * 9

30 = 9r

Divide both sides by 9

30/9 = 9r / 9

3.333 = r

Hence, constant of proportionality, r = 3.333
