We know:

$LCM(a,\ b)=\dfrac{ab}{GCF(a,\ b)}$

We have

$GCF(a,\ b)=2,\ LCM(a,\ b)=20,\ a\leq12,\ b\leq12$

Substitute:

$20=\dfrac{ab}{2}\qquad|\cdot2\\\\ab=40$

$40=1\cdot40=2\cdot20=4\cdot10=5\cdot8$

Only 4 and 10 meet the requirements of the question.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

40 and 1 NOT, because 40 > 12

20 and 2 NOT, because 20 > 12

5 and 8 NOT because GCF(5, 8) = 1

A certain town never has two sunny days in a row. Each day is classified as being either sunny, cloudy (but dry), or rainy. If i

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

the proportion of days that are Sunny is 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Using markov chain;

3 states; Sunny(1), Cloudy(2) and Rainy(3)

Now, based on given conditions, the transition matrix can be obtained in the following way;

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&0.5&0.5\\0.25&0.5&0.25\\0.25&0.25&0.5\end{array}\right]$

so let the proportion of sunny, cloudy and rainy days be S, C and R respectively.

such that, from column 1

S = 0.25C + 0.25R -------------let this be equation 1

from column 2

0.5C = 0.5S + 0.25R

divided through by 0.5

C = S + 0.5R ---------------------- let this be equation 2

now putting equation 2 into equation;

S = 0.25(S + 0.5R) + 0.25R

S = 0.25S + 0.125R + 0.25R

S - 0.25S = 0.375R

0.75S = 0.375R

S = 0.375R / 0.75

S = 0.5R

Therefore,

from equation 2; C = S + 0.5R

input S = 0.5R

C = 0.5R + 0.5R

C = R

Now, we know that, the sum of the three proportion should be equal to one;

S + C + R = 1

since C = R and S = 0.5R

we substitute

0.5R + R + R = 1

2.5R = 1

R = 1/2.5

R = 0.4

Hence, the proportion of days that are Rainy is 0.4

C = R

C = 0.4

Hence, the proportion of days that are Cloudy is 0.4

S = 0.5R

S = 0.5(0.4)

S = 0.2

Hence, the proportion of days that are Sunny is 0.2

Quadrilateral ABCD is similar to quadrilateral EFGH. Find the measure of side EF

garri49 [273]

Answer:

EF = 6.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ABCD is similar to EFGH, then EH is similar to AD. So, we can solve by first dividing 12 by 2 (EH by AD). The quotient of this is 6. This tells us that quadrilateral EFGH is 6 times larger than quadrilateral ABCD, since they are similar. So, with this and the measurement of AB (which is similar to EF), we can now solve for EF. We simply multiply 1.1 (the measurement of AB) by 6 (how many times larger EFGH is compared to ABCD). The product of this is 6.6, our final answer.

Use the fundamental theorem of calculus to find the area of the region between the graph of the function x^5 + 8x^4 + 2x^2 + 5x

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The area of the region is 25,351 $units^2$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: if $f$ is a continuous function on $[a,b]$ , then

$\int_{a}^{b} f(x)dx = F(b) - F(a) = F(x) | {_a^b}$

where $F$ is an antiderivative of $f$ .

A function $F$ is an antiderivative of the function $f$ if

$F^{'}(x)=f(x)$

The theorem relates differential and integral calculus, and tells us how we can find the area under a curve using antidifferentiation.

To find the area of the region between the graph of the function $x^5 + 8x^4 + 2x^2 + 5x + 15$ and the x-axis on the interval [-6, 6] you must:

Apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

$\int _{-6}^6(x^5+8x^4+2x^2+5x+15)dx$

$\mathrm{Apply\:the\:Sum\:Rule}:\quad \int f\left(x\right)\pm g\left(x\right)dx=\int f\left(x\right)dx\pm \int g\left(x\right)dx\\\\\int _{-6}^6x^5dx+\int _{-6}^68x^4dx+\int _{-6}^62x^2dx+\int _{-6}^65xdx+\int _{-6}^615dx$

$\int _{-6}^6x^5dx=0\\\\\int _{-6}^68x^4dx=\frac{124416}{5}\\\\\int _{-6}^62x^2dx=288\\\\\int _{-6}^65xdx=0\\\\\int _{-6}^615dx=180\\\\0+\frac{124416}{5}+288+0+18\\\\\frac{126756}{5}\approx 25351.2$
