Is 2/8 more than 1/2 not really sure about that

No, 1/2 also equals 4/8 (since four is half of 8) if you had a gold bar split up into eight pieces , you'd definitely want 4 pieces and not 2.

It's a trick question. 1/2 is more than 2/8/

How do you solve twelve less than the quotient of a number and 7 is -2
Drupady [299]

Remark

One of the things you need to do is learn to read phrase by phrase.

What is the quotient of a number and 7? That meas you have a number, x, and it is divided by 7. What you do that the answer you get is the quotient.

x/7 is what you know so for. Now the first part says you take 12 away from that.

x/7 - 12 is what you have after doing that.

The result you get is - 2

x/7 - 12 = - 2 Add 12 to both sides

x/7 - 12 + 12 = - 2 + 12

x/7 = 10 Now multiply by 7

x = 10 *7

x = 70 <<< Answer the number is 70

The probability that a single radar station will detect an enemy plane is 0.65. (a) How many such stations are required to be 98
Inga [223]

Answer:

4 stations

Step-by-step explanation:

If we need to be at least 98% certain that an enemy plane flying over will be detected by at least one station, we must ensure that there is at most a 2% chance that no radar stations detect the plane.

The probability that a single radar station does not detect the plane is 0.35.

For n radar stations:

P=0.02=0.35^n\\n=\frac{log(0.02)}{log(0.35)}\\n=3.73

Rounding up to the next whole station, at least 4 stations are needed.

Consider the equation below. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.) f(x) = x3 − 6x2 − 15x + 4 (a) Find the interval on which
kozerog [31]

Answer:

a) The function, f(x) is increasing at the intervals (x < -1.45) and (x > 3.45)

Written in interval form

(-∞, -1.45) and (3.45, ∞)

- The function, f(x) is decreasing at the interval (-1.45 < x < 3.45)

(-1.45, 3.45)

b) Local minimum value of f(x) = -78.1, occurring at x = 3.45

Local maximum value of f(x) = 10.1, occurring at x = -1.45

c) Inflection point = (x, y) = (1, -16)

Interval where the function is concave up

= (x > 1), written in interval form, (1, ∞)

Interval where the function is concave down

= (x < 1), written in interval form, (-∞, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x³ - 6x² - 15x + 4

a) Find the interval on which f is increasing.

A function is said to be increasing in any interval where f'(x) > 0

f(x) = x³ - 6x² - 15x + 4

f'(x) = 3x² - 6x - 15

the function is increasing at the points where

f'(x) = 3x² - 6x - 15 > 0

x² - 2x - 5 > 0

(x - 3.45)(x + 1.45) > 0

we then do the inequality check to see which intervals where f'(x) is greater than 0

Function | x < -1.45 | -1.45 < x < 3.45 | x > 3.45

(x - 3.45) | negative | negative | positive

(x + 1.45) | negative | positive | positive

(x - 3.45)(x + 1.45) | +ve | -ve | +ve

So, the function (x - 3.45)(x + 1.45) is positive (+ve) at the intervals (x < -1.45) and (x > 3.45).

Hence, the function, f(x) is increasing at the intervals (x < -1.45) and (x > 3.45)

Find the interval on which f is decreasing.

At the interval where f(x) is decreasing, f'(x) < 0

from above,

f'(x) = 3x² - 6x - 15

the function is decreasing at the points where

f'(x) = 3x² - 6x - 15 < 0

x² - 2x - 5 < 0

(x - 3.45)(x + 1.45) < 0

With the similar inequality check for where f'(x) is less than 0

Function | x < -1.45 | -1.45 < x < 3.45 | x > 3.45

(x - 3.45) | negative | negative | positive

(x + 1.45) | negative | positive | positive

(x - 3.45)(x + 1.45) | +ve | -ve | +ve

Hence, the function, f(x) is decreasing at the intervals (-1.45 < x < 3.45)

b) Find the local minimum and maximum values of f.

For the local maximum and minimum points,

f'(x) = 0

but f"(x) < 0 for a local maximum

And f"(x) > 0 for a local minimum

From (a) above

f'(x) = 3x² - 6x - 15

f'(x) = 3x² - 6x - 15 = 0

(x - 3.45)(x + 1.45) = 0

x = 3.45 or x = -1.45

To now investigate the points that corresponds to a minimum and a maximum point, we need f"(x)

f"(x) = 6x - 6

At x = -1.45,

f"(x) = (6×-1.45) - 6 = -14.7 < 0

Hence, x = -1.45 corresponds to a maximum point

At x = 3.45

f"(x) = (6×3.45) - 6 = 14.7 > 0

Hence, x = 3.45 corresponds to a minimum point.

So, at minimum point, x = 3.45

f(x) = x³ - 6x² - 15x + 4

f(3.45) = 3.45³ - 6(3.45²) - 15(3.45) + 4

= -78.101375 = -78.1

At maximum point, x = -1.45

f(x) = x³ - 6x² - 15x + 4

f(-1.45) = (-1.45)³ - 6(-1.45)² - 15(-1.45) + 4

= 10.086375 = 10.1

c) Find the inflection point.

The inflection point is the point where the curve changes from concave up to concave down and vice versa.

This occurs at the point f"(x) = 0

f(x) = x³ - 6x² - 15x + 4

f'(x) = 3x² - 6x - 15

f"(x) = 6x - 6

At inflection point, f"(x) = 0

f"(x) = 6x - 6 = 0

6x = 6

x = 1

At this point where x = 1, f(x) will be

f(x) = x³ - 6x² - 15x + 4

f(1) = 1³ - 6(1²) - 15(1) + 4 = -16

Hence, the inflection point is at (x, y) = (1, -16)

- Find the interval on which f is concave up.

The curve is said to be concave up when on a given interval, the graph of the function always lies above its tangent lines on that interval. In other words, if you draw a tangent line at any given point, then the graph seems to curve upwards, away from the line.

At the interval where the curve is concave up, f"(x) > 0

f"(x) = 6x - 6 > 0

6x > 6

x > 1

- Find the interval on which f is concave down.

A curve/function is said to be concave down on an interval if, on that interval, the graph of the function always lies below its tangent lines on that interval. That is the graph seems to curve downwards, away from its tangent line at any given point.

At the interval where the curve is concave down, f"(x) < 0

f"(x) = 6x - 6 < 0

6x < 6

x < 1

Hope this Helps!!!
