Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are two methods for finding the answer.

Method A.

In 1 foot, there are 4 1/4-foot pieces.

In 12 feet, there are 12 times as many as in 1 foot.

12 * 4 = 48

Method B.

Divide 12 ft by 1/4 ft.

12/(1/4) = 12 * 4/1 = 12 * 4 = 48

Answer: 48

The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is A=2πr(r+h).Find h if A=80π and r=5.

lesya [120]

A=2πr(r+h)
80π=2π(5)(5+h)
80π=10π(5+h)
80π=50π + 10πh
30π=10πh

A chemist examines 15 geological samples for potassium chloride concentration. The mean potassium chloride concentration for the

NikAS [45]

Answer:

$0.376-2.145\frac{0.0012}{\sqrt{15}}=0.375$

$0.376+2.145\frac{0.0012}{\sqrt{15}}=0.377$

And we are 95% confident that the true mean of chloride concentration is between 0.375 and 0.377 cc/ cubic meter

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided

$\bar X=0.376$ represent the sample mean for the chloride concentration

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s=0.0012 represent the sample standard deviation

n=15 represent the sample size

Confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

Since we need to find the critical value first we need to begin finding the degreed of freedom

$df=n-1=15-1=14$

The Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the significance would be $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and the critical value for this case with a t distribution with 14 degrees of freedom is $t_{\alpha/2}=2.145$

And the confidence interval is:

$0.376-2.145\frac{0.0012}{\sqrt{15}}=0.375$

$0.376+2.145\frac{0.0012}{\sqrt{15}}=0.377$

And we are 95% confident that the true mean of chloride concentration is between 0.375 and 0.377 cc/ cubic meter

Moby sold half his toy car collection, and then bought 12 more cars the next day. He now has 48 toy cars. How many cars did he h

castortr0y [4]

Answer: 72 cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the number of toys that Moby had to start with.

According to the information given in the exercise, Moby sold half his toy car collection. This can be represented with the following expression:

$\frac{1}{2}x$

Then he bought 12 more cars, giving a total amount of 48 toy cars.

Therefore, the equation that represents this situation is the equation shown below:

$x-\frac{1}{2}x+12=48$

Now you must solve for "x" in order to find its value.

You get that this is:

$\frac{1}{2}x+12=48\\\\\frac{1}{2}x=48-12\\\\\frac{1}{2}x=36\\\\x=(36)(2)\\\\x=72$

Finding Derivatives Implicity In Exercise,Find dy/dx implicity. x2e - x + 2y2 - xy = 0

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

the question is incomplete, the complete question is

"Finding Derivatives Implicity In Exercise,Find dy/dx implicity . $x^{2}e^{-x}+2y^{2}-xy$ "

Answer : $\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{y-(2-x)xe^{-x}}{(4y-x)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the expression $x^{2}e^{-x}+2y^{2}-xy$ " y is define as an implicit function of x, hence we differentiate each term of the equation with respect to x.

we arrive at

$\frac{d}{dx}(x^{2}e^{-x )+\frac{d}{dx} (2y^{2})-\frac{d}{dx}xy=0\\$

for the expression $\frac{d}{dx}(x^{2}e^{-x})$ we differentiate using the product rule, also since y^2 is a function of y which itself is a function of x, we have

$(2xe^{-x}-x^{2}e^{-x})+4y\frac{dy}{dx}-x\frac{dy}{dx} -y=0\\\\(2-x)xe^{-x}+(4y-x)\frac{dy}{dx}-y=0 \\$ .

if we make dy/dx subject of formula we arrive at

$(4y-x)\frac{dy}{dx}=y-(2-x)xe^{-x}\\\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{y-(2-x)xe^{-x}}{(4y-x)}$
