2.63 According to Consumer Digest (July/August 1996), the probable location of personal computers (PC) in the home is as follows

: Adult bedroom: 0.03 Child bedroom: 0.15 Other bedroom: 0.14 Office or den: 0.40 Other rooms: 0.28 (a) What is the probability that a PC is in a bedroom? (b) What is the probability that it is not in a bedroom? (c) Suppose a household is selected at random from households with a PC; in what room would you expect to find a PC?

Answer:

a) 0.32

b) 0.68

c) office or den

Step-by-step explanation:

Locations             Probabilities

Adult bedroom    0.03

Child bedroom    0.15

Other bedroom   0.14

Office or den       0.40

Other rooms        0.28

a)

P(PC in bedroom)= P(PC in adult bedroom)+ P(PC in child bedroom)+ P(PC in other bedroom)

P(PC in bedroom)= 0.03+0.15+ 0.14

P(PC in bedroom)= 0.32.

Thus, the probability that a PC is in a bedroom is 0.32.

b)

P(PC is not in bedroom)= P(PC in Office or den)+ P(PC in Other rooms)

P(PC is not in bedroom)= 0.40+0.28

P(PC is not in bedroom)= 0.68.

Thus, the probability that a PC is not in a bedroom is 0.68.

c)

When a household is selected at random from households with a PC we would expect to find a PC in a room which has a greater probability of having PC.

The greater probability of room having a PC is of Office or den room with probability 0.40. So, when a household is selected at random from households with a PC we would expect to find a PC in a Office or den room.

1) Let f(x)=6x+6/x. Find the open intervals on which f is increasing (decreasing). Then determine the x-coordinates of all relat
brilliants [131]

Answer:

1) increasing on (-∞,-1] ∪ [1,∞), decreasing on [-1,0) ∪ (0,1]

x = -1 is local maximum, x = 1 is local minimum

2) increasing on [1,∞), decreasing on (-∞,0) ∪ (0,1]

x = 1 is absolute minimum

3) increasing on (-∞,0] ∪ [8,∞), decreasing on [0,4) ∪ (4,8]

x = 0 is local maximum, x = 8 is local minimum

4) increasing on [2,∞), decreasing on (-∞,2]

x = 2 is absolute minimum

5) increasing on the interval (0,4/9], decreasing on the interval [4/9,∞)

x = 0 is local minimum, x = 4/9 is absolute maximum

Step-by-step explanation:

To find minima and maxima the of the function, we must take the derivative and equalize it to zero to find the roots.

1) f(x) = 6x + 6/x

f\prime(x) = 6 - 6/x^2 = 0 and x \neq 0

So, the roots are x = -1 and x = 1

The function is increasing on the interval (-∞,-1] ∪ [1,∞)

The function is decreasing on the interval [-1,0) ∪ (0,1]

x = -1 is local maximum, x = 1 is local minimum.

2) f(x)=6-4/x+2/x^2

f\prime(x)=4/x^2-4/x^3=0 and x \neq 0

So the root is x = 1

The function is increasing on the interval [1,∞)

The function is decreasing on the interval (-∞,0) ∪ (0,1]

x = 1 is absolute minimum.

3) f(x) = 8x^2/(x-4)

f\prime(x) = (8x^2-64x)/(x-4)^2=0 and x \neq 4

So the roots are x = 0 and x = 8

The function is increasing on the interval (-∞,0] ∪ [8,∞)

The function is decreasing on the interval [0,4) ∪ (4,8]

x = 0 is local maximum, x = 8 is local minimum.

4) f(x)=6(x-2)^{2/3} +4=0

f\prime(x) = 4/(x-2)^{1/3} has no solution and x = 2 is crtitical point.

The function is increasing on the interval [2,∞)

The function is decreasing on the interval (-∞,2]

x = 2 is absolute minimum.

5) f(x)=8\sqrt x - 6x for x>0

f\prime(x) = (4/\sqrt x)-6 = 0

So the root is x = 4/9

The function is increasing on the interval (0,4/9]

The function is decreasing on the interval [4/9,∞)

x = 0 is local minimum, x = 4/9 is absolute maximum.

Answer:

C - On the number line, move 3 units to the left. End at -7. The dolphin was 7 feet below sea level.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dolphin's starting point was -4 (4 feet below sea level). If the dolphin if diving down by 3 feet, you add -3 to its starting point.

-4 + -3 = -7.

How do you find the constant of variation when y=-(2/3) and x=3
Katyanochek1 [597]
You can't. If you think about the straight line on a graph, those numbers
describe a single point that the line goes through, and they don't tell you
anything about the slope of the line, or where it crosses the x-axis or the
y-axis.  So I don't think you can tell the constant of variation from one point.
