Answer:

j(x) = [ (3/10) cookie/student ]x

Step-by-step explanation:

The "unit rate" here is

3 jumbo cookies

------------------------- = (3/10) cookie/student

10 students

Then the number of cookies needed to feed x students is

j(x) = [ (3/10) cookie/student ]x

Now, lets evaluate the same integral using power series. first, find the power series for the function f(x = \frac{32}{x^2+4}. t

BlackZzzverrR [31]

No idea what the previous part of the problem is, but you have

$f(x)=\dfrac{32}{x^2+4}=\dfrac8{1-\left(-\frac{x^2}4\right)}=\displaystyle8\sum_{n\ge0}\left(-\frac{x^2}4\right)^n$
$f(x)=\displaystyle8\sum_{n\ge0}\left(-\dfrac14\right)^nx^{2n}$

which is valid for $\left|-\dfrac{x^2}4\right|$ , or $|x|$ . So the integral from 0 to 2 is

$\displaystyle\int_0^2f(x)\,\mathrm dx=\int_0^28\sum_{n\ge0}\left(-\frac14\right)^nx^{2n}\,\mathrm dx$
$=\displaystyle8\sum_{n\ge0}\left(-\frac14\right)^n\int_0^2x^{2n}\,\mathrm dx$

Note that since the power series only converges on the interval if $x$ is strictly less than 2, which means we have to treat this as an improper integral.

$=\displaystyle8\sum_{n\ge0}\left(-\frac14\right)^n\lim_{t\to2^-}\int_0^tx^{2n}\,\mathrm dx$ [/tex]
$=\displaystyle8\sum_{n\ge0}\left(-\frac14\right)^n\lim_{t\to2^-}\frac{x^{2n+1}}{2n+1}\bigg|_{x=0}^{x=t}$
$=\displaystyle8\sum_{n\ge0}\frac{(-1)^n}{2^{2n}(2n+1)}\lim_{t\to2^-}t^{2n+1}$
$=\displaystyle16\sum_{n\ge0}\frac{(-1)^n}{2n+1}$
$=16-\dfrac{16}3+\dfrac{16}5-\dfrac{16}7+\dfrac{16}9+\cdots$

PLEASE HELP!!!! WILL GIVE BARAINLYIST!!!!

Experimental probability = 1/5

Theoretical probability = 1/4

note: 1/5 = 0.2 and 1/4 = 0.25

=============================================

How I got those values:

We have 12 hearts out of 60 cards total in our simulation or experiment. So 12/60 = (12*1)/(12*5) = 1/5 is the experimental probability. In the simulation, 1 in 5 cards were a heart.

Theoretically it should be 1 in 4, or 1/4, since we have 13 hearts out of 52 total leading to 13/52 = (13*1)/(13*4) = 1/4. This makes sense because there are four suits and each suit is equally likely.

The experimental probability and theoretical probability values are not likely to line up perfectly. However they should be fairly close assuming that you're working with a fair standard deck. The more simulations you perform, the closer the experimental probability is likely to approach the theoretical one.

For example, let's say you flip a coin 20 times and get 8 heads. We see that 8/20 = 0.40 is close to 0.50 which is the theoretical probability of getting heads. If you flip that same coin 100 times and get 46 heads, then 46/100 = 0.46 is the experimental probability which is close to 0.50, and that probability is likely to get closer if you flipped it say 1000 times or 10000 times.

In short, the experimental probability is what you observe when you do the experiment (or simulation). So it's actually pulling the cards out and writing down your results. Contrast with a theoretical probability is where you guess beforehand what the result might be based on assumptions. One such assumption being each card is equally likely.

(5,12) with a slope m=10 the equation of the line is

motikmotik

Answer:

y= 10x-38

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is usually written in the form of y=mx+c, where m is its gradient and c is its y-intercept.

Given that m=10,

y= 10x +c

Now substitute the coordinates into the equation.

When y=12, x=5,

12= 10(5) +c

12= 50 +c

c= 12 -50

c= -38

Thus the equation of the line is y= 10x -38
