Answer:

The answer to your question: World's energy = 4.15 x 10 ¹⁶ BTU

Step-by-step explanation:

USA energy = 23.5%

BTU = 97.6 quatrillion = 97600000000000000

World's energy consumption = ?

1 quatrillion = 1 000 000 000 000 000

9760000000000000 --------------- 23.5%

x --------------- 100%

x = 100 x 9760000000000000 / 23.5

X = 4.15 x 10 ¹⁶ BTU

Write each expression as an algebraic (nontrigonometric) expression in u, u > 0.

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \sin\left(2\sec^{-1}\left(\frac{u}{10}\right)\right)=\frac{20\sqrt{u^2-100}}{u^2}\text{ where } u>0$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write the trignometric expression:

$\displaystyle \sin\left(2\sec^{-1}\left(\frac{u}{10}\right)\right)\text{ where } u>0$

As an algebraic equation.

First, we can focus on the inner expression. Let θ equal the expression:

$\displaystyle \theta=\sec^{-1}\left(\frac{u}{10}\right)$

Take the secant of both sides:

$\displaystyle \sec(\theta)=\frac{u}{10}$

Since secant is the ratio of the hypotenuse side to the adjacent side, this means that the opposite side is:

$\displaystyle o=\sqrt{u^2-10^2}=\sqrt{u^2-100}$

By substitutition:

$\displaystyle= \sin(2\theta)$

Using an double-angle identity:

$=2\sin(\theta)\cos(\theta)$

We know that the opposite side is √(u² -100), the adjacent side is 10, and the hypotenuse is u. Therefore:

$\displaystyle =2\left(\frac{\sqrt{u^2-100}}{u}\right)\left(\frac{10}{u}\right)$

Simplify. Therefore:

$\displaystyle \sin\left(2\sec^{-1}\left(\frac{u}{10}\right)\right)=\frac{20\sqrt{u^2-100}}{u^2}\text{ where } u>0$

It is C, if it falls 14 ft. and it travels back up 7 ft. and then falls another 7 ft, and stops at the ground now you add it all up 14+7+7=28. hope that helps you.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that of persons who usually work full-time, the average number of hours worked per w

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The standard deviation of number of hours worked per week for these workers is 3.91.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem we have that:

The average number of hours worked per week is 43.4, so $\mu = 43.4$ .

Suppose 12% of these workers work more than 48 hours. Based on this percentage, what is the standard deviation of number of hours worked per week for these workers.

This means that the Z score of $X = 48$ has a pvalue of 0.88. This is Z between 1.17 and 1.18. So we use $Z = 1.175$ .
