Answer:

The number of hamburgers sold was 139 and the number of cheeseburgers sold was 278.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the numbers of hamburgers sold on Thursday

y -----> the numbers of cheeseburgers sold on Thursday

we know that

$x+y=417$ ----> equation A

$y=2x$ ----> equation B

Substitute the equation B in equation A and solve for x

$x+2x=417$

$3x=417$

$x=139$

Find the value of y

$y=2(139)=278$

therefore

The number of hamburgers sold was 139 and the number of cheeseburgers sold was 278.

Xelga [282]

In this problem, since we are trying to find Sam's monthly net income, we just need to multiply his weekly net income (which is after all the deductions come out) by how many times he gets paid! Because he gets paid 4 times, we just need to multiply $654.48 by 4! The you should get an answer of $2617.92, which is Sam's monthly net income!

Tom [10]

Answer:

a) p=0.2

b) probability of passing is 0.01696

.

c) The expected value of correct questions is 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Since each question has 5 options, all of them equally likely, and only one correct answer, then the probability of having a correct answer is 1/5 = 0.2.

b) Let X be the number of correct answers. We will model this situation by considering X as a binomial random variable with a success probability of p=0.2 and having n=6 samples. We have the following for k=0,1,2,3,4,5,6

$P(X=k) = \binom{n}{k}p^{k}(1-p)^{n-k} = \binom{6}{k}0.2^{k}(0.8)^{6-k}$ .

Recall that $\binom{n}{k}= \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$ In this case, the student passes if X is at least four correct questions, then

$P(X\geq 4) = P(X=4)+P(X=5)+P(X=6)=\binom{6}{4}0.2^{4}(0.8)^{6-4}+\binom{6}{5}0.2^{5}(0.8)^{6-5}+\binom{6}{6}0.2^{6}(0.8)^{6-6}= 0.01696$

c)The expected value of a binomial random variable with parameters n and p is $E[X] = np$ . IN our case, n=6 and p =0.2. Then the expected value of correct answers is $6\cdot 0.2 = 1.2$

Need help with Calculus 1 inverse trig functions

Answer:

$\displaystyle y'=3\frac{1+\frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}}{2+2x^2+2x\sqrt{1+x^2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The Derivative of a Function</u>

The derivative of f, also known as the instantaneous rate of change, or the slope of the tangent line to the graph of f, can be computed by the definition formula

$\displaystyle f'(x)=\lim\limits_{\Delta x \rightarrow 0}\frac{f(x+\Delta x)-f(x)}{\Delta x}$

There are tables where the derivative of all known functions are provided for an easy calculation of specific functions.

The derivative of the inverse tangent is given as

$\displaystyle (tan^{-1}u)'=\frac{u'}{1+u^2}$

Where u is a function of x as provided:

$y=3tan^{-1}(x+\sqrt{1+x^2})$

If we set

$u=(x+\sqrt{1+x^2})$

Then

$\displaystyle u'=1+\frac{2x}{2\sqrt{1+x^2}}$

$\displaystyle u'=1+\frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}$

Taking the derivative of y

$y'=3[tan^{-1}(x+\sqrt{1+x^2})]'$

Using the change of variables

$\displaystyle y'=3[tan^{-1}u]'=3\frac{u'}{1+u^2}$

$\displaystyle y'=3\frac{u'}{1+u^2}=3\frac{1+\frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}}{1+(x+\sqrt{1+x^2})^2}$

Operating

$\displaystyle y'=3\frac{1+\frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}}{1+x^2+2x\sqrt{1+x^2}+1+x^2}$

$\boxed{\displaystyle y'=3\frac{1+\frac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}}{2+2x^2+2x\sqrt{1+x^2}}}$
