The mosquito population is a function of rainfall, and can be approximated by the formula N(x)=−x3+45x2+1000 where x is the numb

er of inches of rainfall. Find the values of x (if any) so that the population will be a maximum? Note that x is non-negative.

Answer:

Therefore the population will be maximum when x=30 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, the mosquito population is a function of rainfall and can be approximated by the formula

N(x)= -x^3+45x^2+1000

where x is the number of inches of rainfall.

N(x)= -x^3+45x^2+1000

Differentiating with respect to x

N'(x)= -3x^2+90x

Again differentiating with respect to x

N''(x)=-6x+90

Now we set N'(x)=0

-3x^2+90x=0

\Rightarrow -3x(x-30)=0

\Rightarrow x=0,30

N''(0)=-6.0+90=90>0

N''(30)=-6.30+90=-90

Since at x=30, N''(x)<0, So at x=30, N(x) has maximum value.

Therefore the population will be maximum when x=30 inches.

The amount of time needed for a certain machine to process a job is a random variable with mean EXi = 10 minutes and Var(Xi)=2 m
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

0.98732

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean = 10 minutes

Variance = 2 minutes

For less than equal 40 jobs

Mean (m) = 40 * 10 = 400 minutes

Variance = 2 * 40 = 80 minutes

Standard deviation (s) = √variance = √80

Converting hours to minutes

X = 60 * 7 = 420 minutes

P(X≤ 420) :

Z = (x - m) / s

P(X≤ 420) :

Z = (420 - 400) / √80

Z = 20 / √80 = 20 / 8.9442 = 2.236

P(Z ≤ 2.236) = 0.98732

Wendy wants to put a wallpaper border around her bedroom. The room has two walls that each measure 10 feet 5
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

11 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The room has two sides both measuring 10 feet 5 inches. This gives a total of 20 feet 10 inches. It also has the other two sides both measuring 6 feet 1 inch and that too gives a total of 12 feet 2 inches. Adding them all together results in 32 feet 12 inches. Better still, the perimeter of the room is derived as;

Perimeter = 2 (L + W)

Perimeter = 2 (10'5" + 6'1")

Perimeter = 2(16'6")

Perimeter = 32'12"

Having in mind our conversion rate of 12 inches equals 1 foot, the results can be properly expressed as 32 feet plus 1 foot which gives us 33 feet.

If the perimeter of Wendy's room is now given as 33 feet, the conversion rate between feet and yards can now be applied. Having been given that

3 feet = 1 yard

Then 1 yard = 3 feet/3, that is

y = 3/3

Hence,

y = 33/3

y = 11

The results show that Wendy would needs to buy a total of 11 yards of wallpaper border.
