Answer:

24.8 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll begin by generating a table indicating the time mark (mid time) for the 50 people.

This is illustrated below

Time > timemark > frequency

0 – 10 > 10/2 = 5 > 5

10 – 20 > (10+20)/2 = 15 > 15

20 – 30 > (20+30)/2 = 25 > 13

30 – 40 > (30+40)/2 = 35 > 10

40 – 50 > (40+50)/2 = 45 > 7

The mean time for the 50 people is given by:

Mean = summation (mid time x frequency) / total frequency

Mean = [5x5 + 15x15 + 25x13 + 35x10 + 45x7] / 50

Mean = [25 + 225 + 325 + 350 + 315] / 50

Mean = 1240 / 50

Mean = 24.8 mins

$r\approx 1.084\ feet$

$h\approx 1.084\ feet$

$\displaystyle A=11.07\ ft^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Optimizing With Derivatives </u>

The procedure to optimize a function (find its maximum or minimum) consists in :

Produce a function which depends on only one variable
Compute the first derivative and set it equal to 0
Find the values for the variable, called critical points
Compute the second derivative
Evaluate the second derivative in the critical points. If it results positive, the critical point is a minimum, if it's negative, the critical point is a maximum

We know a cylinder has a volume of 4 $ft^3$ . The volume of a cylinder is given by

$\displaystyle V=\pi r^2h$

Equating it to 4

$\displaystyle \pi r^2h=4$

Let's solve for h

$\displaystyle h=\frac{4}{\pi r^2}$

A cylinder with an open-top has only one circle as the shape of the lid and has a lateral area computed as a rectangle of height h and base equal to the length of a circle. Thus, the total area of the material to make the cylinder is

$\displaystyle A=\pi r^2+2\pi rh$

Replacing the formula of h

$\displaystyle A=\pi r^2+2\pi r \left (\frac{4}{\pi r^2}\right )$

Simplifying

$\displaystyle A=\pi r^2+\frac{8}{r}$

We have the function of the area in terms of one variable. Now we compute the first derivative and equal it to zero

$\displaystyle A'=2\pi r-\frac{8}{r^2}=0$

Rearranging

$\displaystyle 2\pi r=\frac{8}{r^2}$

Solving for r

$\displaystyle r^3=\frac{4}{\pi }$

$\displaystyle r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{4}{\pi }}\approx 1.084\ feet$

Computing h

$\displaystyle h=\frac{4}{\pi \ r^2}\approx 1.084\ feet$

We can see the height and the radius are of the same size. We check if the critical point is a maximum or a minimum by computing the second derivative

$\displaystyle A''=2\pi+\frac{16}{r^3}$

We can see it will be always positive regardless of the value of r (assumed positive too), so the critical point is a minimum.

The minimum area is

$\displaystyle A=\pi(1.084)^2+\frac{8}{1.084}$

$\boxed{ A=11.07\ ft^2}$

Josiah invests $360 into an account that accrues 3% interest annually. Assuming no deposits or withdrawals are made, which equat

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

y = 360(1.03)x

Step-by-step explanation:

$F = P x (1 + i)^n$

F is the future worth, P is the present worth, I will be the interest rate, and n is the number of years. $F = ($360)(1.03)^x$

The principal amount of the money = $360

Annual rate of interest = 3%

Thus, the amount after x years which is increased by 3%.

Since, this amount represented by y,

The required equation that represents the amount of money in Josiah’s account, y, after x years is, $= 360(1+\frac{3}{100} )^x\\ = 360(1+0.03 )^x\\ = 360(1.03 )^x$
