Answer: The objects instantaneous velocity at that point

Step-by-step explanation:

On a position versus time graph, the displacement is the vertical difference between two points and the time interval is the horizontal difference.

The ratio of displacement to time interval is the the objects instantaneous velocity at that point. This ratio is also the slope of the line.

Hence, The slope at a point on a position versus time graph of an object is the objects instantaneous velocity at that point.

Write the first three terms in the following sequences. Identify them as arithmetic or geometric

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

$A(1)=9$

$A(2)=4$

$A(3)=-1$

Arithmetic sequence

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

$A(n+1)=A(n)-5 \;for\;n\geq 1$ A(1)=9

We have to find first three terms and identify the sequence is geometric or arithmetic.

Substitute n=1

Then, we get

$A(2)=A(1)-5=9-5=4$

For n=2

$A(3)=A(2)-5=4-5=-1$

For n=3

$A(4)=-1-5=-6$

$d_1=A_2-A_1=4-9=-5$

$d_2=A_3-A_2=-1-4=-5$

$d_3=A_4-A_3=-6+1=-5$

$d_1=d_2=d_3=-5$

When the difference of consecutive terms are constant then the sequence is arithmetic sequence.

Therefore, given sequence is arithmetic sequence.

Solve for x. Assume that lines which appear to be diameters are actually diameters

Dafna1 [17]

Answer: number 7. 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

7X + 1 + -5X = 15

Reorder the terms:

1 + 7X + -5X = 15

Combine like terms: 7X + -5X = 2X

1 + 2X = 15

Solving

1 + 2X = 15

Solving for variable 'X'.

Move all terms containing X to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.

1 + -1 + 2X = 15 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0

0 + 2X = 15 + -1

2X = 15 + -1

Combine like terms: 15 + -1 = 14

2X = 14

Divide each side by '2'.

X = 7

Simplifying

X = 7

In October of 2012, Apple introduced a much smaller variant of the Apple iPad, known at the iPad Mini. Weighing less than 11 oun

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

a. $f_X(x) = \dfrac{1}{3.5}8.5$

b. the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less is 0.4286 which is about 42.86%

c. the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours is 0.2857 which is about 28.57 %

d. the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be between 9.5 and 11.5 hours is 0.5714 which is about 57.14%

e. 86 should have a battery life of at least 9 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information;

Let X represent the continuous random variable with uniform distribution U (A, B) . Therefore the probability density function can now be determined as :

$f_X(x) = \dfrac{1}{B-A}A$

where A and B are the two parameters of the uniform distribution

From the question;

Assume that battery life of the iPad Mini is uniformly distributed between 8.5 and 12 hours

So; Let A = 8,5 and B = 12

Therefore; the mathematical expression for the probability density function of battery life is :

$f_X(x) = \dfrac{1}{12-8.5}8.5$

$f_X(x) = \dfrac{1}{3.5}8.5$

b. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less (to 4 decimals)?

The probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less can be calculated as:

F(x) = P(X ≤x)

$F(x) = \dfrac{x-A}{B-A}$

$F(10) = \dfrac{10-8.5}{12-8.5}$

F(10) = 0.4286

the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be 10 hours or less is 0.4286 which is about 42.86%

c. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours (to 4 decimals)?

The battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours is calculated as follows:

$P(X\geq11) = \int\limits^{12}_{11} {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} \, dx$

$P(X\geq11) = {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} (x)^{12}_{11}$

$P(X\geq11) = {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} (12-11)$

$P(X\geq11) = {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} (1)$

$P(X\geq11) = 0.2857$

the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be at least 11 hours is 0.2857 which is about 28.57 %

d. What is the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be between 9.5 and 11.5 hours (to 4 decimals)?

$P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) =\int\limits^{11.5}_{9.5} {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} \, dx$

$P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) ={\dfrac{1}{3.5}} \, (x)^{11.5}_{9.5}$

$P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) ={\dfrac{1}{3.5}} (11.5-9.5)$

$P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) ={\dfrac{1}{3.5}} (2)$

$P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) =0.2857* (2)$

$P(9.5 \leq X\leq11.5) =0.5714$

Hence; the probability that the battery life for an iPad Mini will be between 9.5 and 11.5 hours is 0.5714 which is about 57.14%

e. In a shipment of 100 iPad Minis, how many should have a battery life of at least 9 hours (to nearest whole value)?

The probability that battery life of at least 9 hours is calculated as:

$P(X \geq 9) = \int\limits^{12}_{9} {\dfrac{1}{3.5}} \, dx$

$P(X \geq 9) = {\dfrac{1}{3.5}}(x)^{12}_{9}$

$P(X \geq 9) = {\dfrac{1}{3.5}}(12-9)$

$P(X \geq 9) = {\dfrac{1}{3.5}}(3)$

$P(X \geq 9) = 0.2857*}(3)$

$P(X \geq 9) = 0.8571$

NOW; The Number of iPad that should have a battery life of at least 9 hours is calculated as:

n = 100(0.8571)

n = 85.71

n ≅ 86

Thus , 86 should have a battery life of at least 9 hours
