Pam has 90 m of fencing to enclose an area in a petting zoo with two dividers to separate three types of young animals. The thre

e pens are to have the same area. Express the area function for the three pens in terms of x. Determine the domain and range for the area function

Answer:

The area function is

A=\frac{135}{2}x-\frac{9}{2}x^2.

The domain and range of A is (0,15m) and (0, 253.125 m^2].

Step-by-step explanation:

The given length of fencing is 90 m.

Let the length and width of each pen be x and y respectively as shown in the figure.

As there are 3 pens, so, the total area,

A= 3 xy \;\cdots (i)

From the figure the total length of fencing is 6x+4y.

Here, for a significant area for the animals, x>0 as well as y>0 as x and y are the sides of ben.

From the given value:

6x+4y=90\;\cdots (ii)

\Rightarrow  y=\frac {45}{2}-\frac{3x}{2}

Now, from equation (i)

A=3x\left(\frac {45}{2}-\frac{3x}{2}\right)

\Rightarrow A=\frac{135}{2}x-\frac{9}{2}x^2\;\cdots (iii)

This is the required area function in the terms of variable x.

For the domain of area function, from equation (ii)

x=15-\frac{2y}{3}

\Rightarrow x [as y>0]

So, the domain of area function is (0,15m).

For the range of area function:

As x \rightarrow 0 or y\rightarrow 0, then A\rightarrow 0 [from equation (i)]

\Rightarrow A>0

Now, differentiate the area function with respect to x .

\frac {dA}{dx}=\frac{135}{2}-9x

Equate \frac {dA}{dx}  to zero to get the extremum point.

\frac {dA}{dx}=0

\Rightarrow \frac{135}{2}-9x=0

\Rightarrow x=\frac{15}{2}

Check this point by double differentiation

\frac {d^2A}{dx^2}=-9

As,  \frac {d^2A}{dx^2}, so, point x=\frac{15}{2} is corresponding to maxima.

Put this value back to equation (iii) to get the maximum value of area function. We have

A=\frac{135}{2}\times \frac {15}{2}-\frac{9}{2}\times \left(\frac {15}{2}\right)^2

\Rightarrow A=253.125 m^2

Hence, the range of area function is (0, 253.125 m^2].

Two researchers conducted a study in which two groups of students were asked to answer 42 trivia questions from a board game. Th
denpristay [2]

Answer:

(1) Correct option is B.

(2) Correct option is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The information provided is:

n_{1}=200,\ \bar x_{1}=22.7,\ s_{1} = 4.5\\n_{2}=200,\ \bar x_{2}=19.7,\ s_{2} = 4.3

The (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for the difference between two mean is:

CI=\bar x_{1}-\bar x_{2}\pm t_{\alpha/2, (n_{1}+n_[2}-2}\sqrt{\frac{s_{1}^{2}}{n_{1}}+\frac{s_{2}^{2}}{n_{2}} }

The critical value of <em>t</em> is:

\alpha /2=0.05/2=0.025

degrees of freedom =n_{1}+n_{2}-2=200+200-2=398

t_{\alpha/2, n_{1}+n_{2}-2}=t_{0.025, 398}=1.96

Compute the 95% confidence interval for the difference between two mean as follows:

CI=22.7-19.7\pm 1.96\sqrt{\frac{4.5^{2}}{200}+\frac{4.3^{2}}{200} }\\=3\pm0.8624\\=(2.1376, 3.8624)\\\approx(2.14, 3.86)

Thus, the 95% confidence interval, (2.14, 3.86) implies that the true mean difference value is contained in this interval with probability 0.95.

Correct option is B.

The null value of the difference between means is 0.

As the value 0 is not in the interval this implies that there is a difference between the two means, concluding that priming does have an effect on scores.

Correct option is C.

Jorge gives an equal number of marbles to 6 friends. Which could be the total number of marbles he gave to his friends? (Answer
ladessa [460]

Answer:

D. 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the question stated that the number of marbles given out to his 6 friends were equal, we are certain that the total number of marbles is a factor or multiple of 6.

The only other assumption here is the number of marbles given has to be whole number. This means we just have to go through the answer choices and pick the one that is a multiple of 6.

A. 15 - This is wrong as 15 is not a multiple of 6.

B. 33 - This is wrong as 33 is not a multiple of 6.

C. 56 - This is wrong as 56 is not a multiple of 6.

D. 60 - This is CORRECT as 60 is a multiple of 6.

If Jorge gives each of his friends 10 marbles each, it would bring the total number of marbles to be 60.
