Answer:

Part A) Circumference

Part B) $C=\pi D$

Part C) The distance traveled in one rotation is 628.32 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) we know that

The distance around the circle is equal to the circumference.

The Ferris Wheel have a circular shape

To find out the distance around the Ferris Wheel you should use the circumference

Part B) What is the formula needed to solve this problem?

we know that

The circumference is equal to multiply the number π by the diameter of the circle

$C=\pi D$

Part C) What is the distance traveled in one rotation?

we know that

One rotation subtends a central angle of 360 degrees

The distance traveled in one rotation is the same that the circumference of the Ferris wheel

we have

$D=200\ ft$ ----> diameter of the Ferris wheel

substitute in the formula of circumference

$C=\pi (200)\\C=200\pi\ ft$

assume

$\pi=3.1416$

$C=200(3.1416)=628.32\ ft$

therefore

The distance traveled in one rotation is 628.32 feet

According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, the average starting salary for new college graduates in health

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

a) The probability that a new college graduate in business will earn a starting salary of at least $65,000 is P=0.22965 or 23%.

b) The probability that a new college graduate in health sciences will earn a starting salary of at least $65,000 is P=0.11123 or 11%.

c) The probability that a new college graduate in health sciences will earn a starting salary of less than $40,000 is P=0.14686 or 15%.

d) A new college graduate in business have to earn at least $77,133 in order to have a starting salary higher than 99% of all starting salaries of new college graduates in the health sciences.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. What is the probability that a new college graduate in business will earn a starting salary of at least $65,000?

For college graduates in business, the salary distributes normally with mean salary of $53,901 and standard deviation of $15,000.

To calculate the probability of earning at least $65,000, we can calculate the z-value:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} =\frac{65000-53901}{15000} =0.74$

The probability is then

$P(X>65,000)=P(z>0.74)=0.22965$

The probability that a new college graduate in business will earn a starting salary of at least $65,000 is P=0.22965 or 23%.

b. What is the probability that a new college graduate in health sciences will earn a starting salary of at least $65,000?

For college graduates in health sciences, the salary distributes normally with mean salary of $51,541 and standard deviation of $11,000.

To calculate the probability of earning at least $65,000, we can calculate the z-value:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} =\frac{65000-51541}{11000} =1.22$

The probability is then

$P(X>65,000)=P(z>1.22)=0.11123$

The probability that a new college graduate in health sciences will earn a starting salary of at least $65,000 is P=0.11123 or 11%.

c. What is the probability that a new college graduate in health sciences will earn a starting salary less than $40,000?

To calculate the probability of earning less than $40,000, we can calculate the z-value:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} =\frac{40000-51541}{11000} =-1.05$

The probability is then

$P(X$

The probability that a new college graduate in health sciences will earn a starting salary of less than $40,000 is P=0.14686 or 15%.

d. How much would a new college graduate in business have to earn in order to have a starting salary higher than 99% of all starting salaries of new college graduates in the health sciences?

The z-value for the 1% higher salaries (P>0.99) is z=2.3265.

The cut-off salary for this z-value can be calculated as:

$X=\mu+z*\sigma=51,541+2.3265*11,000=51,541+25,592=77,133$

A new college graduate in business have to earn at least $77,133 in order to have a starting salary higher than 99% of all starting salaries of new college graduates in the health sciences.

The profits of mr cash’s company is represented by the equation p(t)=-3t^2+18t-4, where p(t) is the amount of profit in hundreds

eduard

We have that

p(t)=-3t^2+18t-4

using a graphing tool, we can see the maximum of the graph
(see the attached figure)

A) In what year of operation does Mr. Cash’s business show maximum profit?

Mr. Cash’s business show maximum profit at year 3 (maximum in the parabole)

B) What is the maximum profit?

23 (hundred of thousand of dollars) = 2.300.000 dollars

c) What time will it be two late?

(This is the time when the graph crosses zero and the profits turn into losses )

5.77 years, or an estimate of about 69 months.

4 Tan A/1-Tan^4=Tan2A + Sin2A

Eva8 [605]

tan(2A) + sin(2A) = sin(2A)/cos(2A) + sin(2A)

• rewrite tan = sin/cos

… = 1/cos(2A) (sin(2A) + sin(2A) cos(2A))

• expand the functions of 2A using the double angle identities

… = 2/(2 cos²(A) - 1) (sin(A) cos(A) + sin(A) cos(A) (cos²(A) - sin²(A)))

• factor out sin(A) cos(A)

… = 2 sin(A) cos(A)/(2 cos²(A) - 1) (1 + cos²(A) - sin²(A))

• simplify the last factor using the Pythagorean identity, 1 - sin²(A) = cos²(A)

… = 2 sin(A) cos(A)/(2 cos²(A) - 1) (2 cos²(A))

• rearrange terms in the product

… = 2 sin(A) cos(A) (2 cos²(A))/(2 cos²(A) - 1)

• combine the factors of 2 in the numerator to get 4, and divide through the rightmost product by cos²(A)

… = 4 sin(A) cos(A) / (2 - 1/cos²(A))

• rewrite cos = 1/sec, i.e. sec = 1/cos

… = 4 sin(A) cos(A) / (2 - sec²(A))

• divide through again by cos²(A)

… = (4 sin(A)/cos(A)) / (2/cos²(A) - sec²(A)/cos²(A))

• rewrite sin/cos = tan and 1/cos = sec

… = 4 tan(A) / (2 sec²(A) - sec⁴(A))

• factor out sec²(A) in the denominator

… = 4 tan(A) / (sec²(A) (2 - sec²(A)))

• rewrite using the Pythagorean identity, sec²(A) = 1 + tan²(A)

… = 4 tan(A) / ((1 + tan²(A)) (2 - (1 + tan²(A))))

• simplify

… = 4 tan(A) / ((1 + tan²(A)) (1 - tan²(A)))

• condense the denominator as the difference of squares

… = 4 tan(A) / (1 - tan⁴(A))

(Note that some of these steps are optional or can be done simultaneously)
