The mission of the field of personality psychology are the following.

Explanation:

Personality psychology enables us to see the many qualities we share in common with others, as well as the differences among us that serve to provide us with the distinctive features of our mental lives.
An individual's personality is the combination of traits and patterns that influence their behavior, thought, motivation, and emotion. It drives individuals to consistently think, feel, and behave in specific ways; in essence, it is what makes each individual unique.
Personality concerns the most important, most noticeable, parts of an individual's psychological life. Personality concerns whether a person is happy or sad, energetic or apathetic, smart or dull. Over the years, many different definitions have been proposed for personality. Most of the definitions refer to a mental system—a collection of psychological parts including motives, emotions, and thoughts.
"Personality is the entire mental organization of a human being at any stage of his development. It embraces every phase of human character: intellect, temperament, skill, morality, and every attitude that has been built up in the course of one's life."Personality is the essence of a human being."
"An individual's pattern of psychological processes arising from motives, feelings, thoughts, and other major areas of psychological function. Personality is expressed through its influences on the body, in conscious mental life, and through the individual's social behavior."

The mission, or the need, of the field of personality psychology, is to understand what determines an individual behavior, how an individual would behave in given circumstances, and also in knowing the differences between individuals or groups.

Explanation:

The personality of a person is the combination of his behavior, thinking pattern, emotional exhibits, and his likes and dislikes.

It tries to study the individual in context to his background which includes his social-cultural influences, his childhood experiences and his environmental influences.

It also studies the differences between individuals, group’s people and their approaches to life situations.

It guides a psychologist to foresee how and why would a person or a group of people may or may not behave in a particular way towards a particular situation.

Hence, this is the mission or the importance of personality psychology.

Clint wants to keep a young tree from blow- ing over during a high wind. He decides that he should tie a rope around the tree at

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

No, the 270 cm rope Clint has is not enough to do the job.

Explanation:

The height of tree where rope has to be tied = 180 cm

The distance of the stake from the base of the tree = 200 cm

We can say that the arrangement makes a right angle triangle, with the right angle situated at the base of the tree. The figure is attached below. Consult it for better understanding.

Length of the rope can be found by using Pythagoras theorem.

(Length of rope)² = 180² + 200²

Length of rope = 269 cm

As it is stated the additional 30cm of rope is required for tying from both ends. Total length of rope required is:

Total length of rope = 269 + 30

Total length of rope = 299 cm

As length of rope required is 299cm, the 270 cm rope Clint has is not enough to do the job.

1. The rate at which people enter a movie theater on a given day is modeled by the function S defined by S(t) = 80 -12 cos 6 The

Arlecino [84]

Hi there!

To find the total amount of people that have ENTERED by t = 20, we must take the integral of the appropriate function.

$\text{Amount that entered} = \int\limits^{20}_{10} {S(t)} \, dt \\\\ = \int\limits^{20}_{10} {80 - 12cos(\frac{t}{5})} \, dt$

Evaluate using a calculator:

$= 899.97 \approx \boxed{900\text{ people}}$

To solve, we can find the total amount of people that have entered of the interval and subtract the total amount of people that have left from this value.

In other terms:
$\text{Amount of people} = \int\limits^{20}_{10} {S(t)} \, dt - \int\limits^{20}_{10} {R(t)} \, dt$

We can evaluate using a calculator (math-9 on T1-84):

$\text{\# of people} = \int\limits^{20}_{10} {80-12cos(\frac{t}{5})} \, dt - \int\limits^{20}_{10} {12e^{\frac{t}{10}}+20} \, dt$

$= 899.97 - 760.49 = 139.47 \approx \boxed{139 \text{ people}}$

If:
$P(t) = \int\limits^t_{10} {S(t) - R(t)} \, dt$

Then:

$\frac{dP}{dt} = P'(t)= \frac{d}{dt}\int\limits^t_{10} {S(t) - R(t)} \, dt = S(t) - R(t)$

Evaluate at t = 20:

$S(20) = 80 - 12cos(\frac{20}{5}) = 87.844\\\\R(20) = 12e^{\frac{20}{10}} + 20 = 108.669$

$S(20) - R(20) = 87.844 - 108.669 = -20.823$

This means that at t = 20, there is a NET DECREASE of people at the movie theater of around 20.823 (21) people per hour.

To find the maximum, we must use the first-derivative test.

Set S(t) - R(t) equal to 0:

$80 - 12cos(\frac{t}{5}) - 12e^{\frac{t}{10}} - 20 = 0\\\\60 - 12(cos(\frac{t}{5}) + e^{\frac{t}{10}})= 0$

Graph the function with a graphing calculator and set the function equal to y = 0:

According to the graph, the graph of the first derivative changes from POSITIVE to NEGATIVE at t ≈ 17.78 hours, so there is a MAXIMUM at this value.

Thus, at t = 17.78 hours, the amount of people at the movie theater is a MAXIMUM.
