To increase the mean of 4 numbers by 2. by how much would the sum of the 4 numbers have to increase?

1 answer:

Orlov [11]3 years ago

So mean also translates to average so
the mean of 4 numbers is aprox
x=average
(x+x+x+x)/4=average
to increase x by 2 you add 2
x+2=average
(x+2+x+2+x+2+x+2)=4=(4x+8)/4=x+2

you would have to increase the sum/total by 8 to make the numbers' averages' go up by 2

At the end of 8 years, Anna paid $400 interest for a loan. If the simple annual interest rate was 4%, how much did Anna borrow?

antiseptic1488 [7]

$1250

Use the formula i = prt

In this case, we don't know P or Principal amount

i = 400

r = .04 *found by diving 4/100*

n = 8

Set formula to solve for P like: P= i/r(n)

P=400/.04(8)

P= 400/.32

P = 1250

Consider the function f given by f(x)=x*(e^(-x^2)) for all real numbers x.

NISA [10]

Answer:

$\frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

You are going to integrate the following function:

$g(x)=x*f(x)=x*xe^{-x^2}=x^2e^{-x^2}$ (1)

furthermore, you know that:

$\int_0^{\infty}e^{-x^2}=\frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2}$

lets call to this integral, the integral Io.

for a general form of I you have In:

$I_n=\int_0^{\infty}x^ne^{-ax^2}dx$

furthermore you use the fact that:

$I_n=-\frac{\partial I_{n-2}}{\partial a}$

by using this last expression in an iterative way you obtain the following:

$\int_0^{\infty}x^{2s}e^{-ax^2}dx=\frac{(2s-1)!!}{2^{s+1}a^s}\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{a}}$ (2)

with n=2s a even number

for s=1 you have n=2, that is, the function g(x). By using the equation (2) (with a = 1) you finally obtain:

$\int_0^{\infty}x^2e^{-x^2}dx=\frac{(2(1)-1)!}{2^{1+1}(1^1)}\sqrt{\pi}=\frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{4}$

What is the third angle of a triangle if the other two are (3x-20)° and (4x+10)°

Karolina [17]

Answer:

The other angle is 190-7x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees.

Let A be the third angle.

A + (3x-20) + (4x+10) = 180

A = 180 - (3x - 20) - (4x + 10) = 190 - 7x
