The average. Which is the all of the data added up divided by however much data there is. For example, 22 56 73 46 and 90. You add up those numbers which is 287, then you divide that by 5 since there are 5 numbers which is 57.4. So the average (AKA Mean) is 57.4.

Mean weight means average weight of the lightest males so take the wait of the lightest male then divide it by the number of males

What is the solution for this inequality? 5x ≤ 45

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

$x\leq 9$

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the inequality:

$5x\leq 45$

Divide both sides by 5:

$x\leq 9$

And, we're done!

This means that the solution of the inequality is all values less than or equal to 9.

I hope this helps!

An artist creates a right prism whose base are regular pentagons. He wants to paints the lateral surfaces of the prism. One can

Usimov [2.4K]

He needs 13 cans of paint.

The lateral area is given by the area of 5 rectangles, whose dimensions are 15 by 5:
5(15)(5) = 375

Divide this by 30:
375/30 = 12.5 ≈ 13

To demonstrate a method for computing the limit itself, let's pick a small value of n. If n = 3, then our limit is

$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 0 } \frac{1 - \prod \limits_{k = 2}^{3} \sqrt[k]{\cos(kx)} }{ {x}^{2} }$

Let a = 1 and b the cosine product, and write them as

$\dfrac{a - b}{x^2}$

with

$b = \sqrt{\cos(2x)} \sqrt[3]{\cos(3x)} = \sqrt[6]{\cos^3(2x)} \sqrt[6]{\cos^2(3x)} = \left(\cos^3(2x) \cos^2(3x)\right)^{\frac16}$

Now we use the identity

$a^n-b^n = (a-b)\left(a^{n-1}+a^{n-2}b+a^{n-3}b^2+\cdots a^2b^{n-3}+ab^{n-2}+b^{n-1}\right)$

to rationalize the numerator. This gives

$\displaystyle \frac{a^6-b^6}{x^2 \left(a^5+a^4b+a^3b^2+a^2b^3+ab^4+b^5\right)}$

As x approaches 0, both a and b approach 1, so the polynomial in a and b in the denominator approaches 6, and our original limit reduces to

$\displaystyle \frac16 \lim_{x\to0} \frac{1-\cos^3(2x)\cos^2(3x)}{x^2}$

For the remaining limit, use the Taylor expansion for cos(x) :

$\cos(x) = 1 - \dfrac{x^2}2 + \mathcal{O}(x^4)$

where $\mathcal{O}(x^4)$ essentially means that all the other terms in the expansion grow as quickly as or faster than x⁴; in other words, the expansion behaves asymptotically like x⁴. As x approaches 0, all these terms go to 0 as well.

Then

$\displaystyle \cos^3(2x) \cos^2(3x) = \left(1 - 2x^2\right)^3 \left(1 - \frac{9x^2}2\right)^2$

$\displaystyle \cos^3(2x) \cos^2(3x) = \left(1 - 6x^2 + 12x^4 - 8x^6\right) \left(1 - 9x^2 + \frac{81x^4}4\right)$

$\displaystyle \cos^3(2x) \cos^2(3x) = 1 - 15x^2 + \mathcal{O}(x^4)$

so in our limit, the constant terms cancel, and the asymptotic terms go to 0, and we end up with

$\displaystyle \frac16 \lim_{x\to0} \frac{15x^2}{x^2} = \frac{15}6 = \frac52$

Unfortunately, this doesn't agree with the limit we want, so n ≠ 3. But you can try applying this method for larger n, or computing a more general result.

Edit: some scratch work suggests the limit is 10 for n = 6.
