One number is one less than five times another ....
Let one number be x
The other number is 5x - 1

Their sum ...
x + 5x - 1 = 6x - 1

Their sum is decreased by 3
6x - 1 - 3 = 6x - 4

The result is eight
6x - 4 = 8
6x = 8 + 4
6x = 12
x = 2

x = 2
5x - 1 = 5(2) - 1 = 9
One number is 2 and the other is 9.

Evaluate the line integral, where c is the given curve. (x + 9y) dx + x2 dy, c c consists of line segments from (0, 0) to (9, 1)

viktelen [127]

$\displaystyle\int_C(x+9y)\,\mathrm dx+x^2\,\mathrm dy=\int_C\langle x+9y,x^2\rangle\cdot\underbrace{\langle\mathrm dx,\mathrm dy\rangle}_{\mathrm d\mathbf r}$

The first line segment can be parameterized by $\mathbf r_1(t)=\langle0,0\rangle(1-t)+\langle9,1\rangle t=\langle9t,t\rangle$ with $0\le t\le1$ . Denote this first segment by $C_1$ . Then

$\displaystyle\int_{C_1}\langle x+9y,x^2\rangle\cdot\mathbf dr_1=\int_{t=0}^{t=1}\langle9t+9t,81t^2\rangle\cdot\langle9,1\rangle\,\mathrm dt$
$=\displaystyle\int_0^1(162t+81t^2)\,\mathrm dt$
$=108$

The second line segment ( $C_2$ ) can be described by $\mathbf r_2(t)=\langle9,1\rangle(1-t)+\langle10,0\rangle t=\langle9+t,1-t\rangle$ , again with $0\le t\le1$ . Then

$\displaystyle\int_{C_2}\langle x+9y,x^2\rangle\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf r_2=\int_{t=0}^{t=1}\langle9+t+9-9t,(9+t)^2\rangle\cdot\langle1,-1\rangle\,\mathrm dt$
$=\displaystyle\int_0^1(18-8t-(9+t)^2)\,\mathrm dt$
$=-\dfrac{229}3$

Finally,

$\displaystyle\int_C(x+9y)\,\mathrm dx+x^2\,\mathrm dy=108-\dfrac{229}3=\dfrac{95}3$

Select Parameter or Statistic to classify each statement.

REY [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A parameter describes a population, and a statistic describes a sample.

The first one is a statistic. A sample was surveyed.

The second one is a parameter. It describes the entire soccer team.

The third one is a statistic. A sample was surveyed.

The fourth one is a parameter. It describes the entire golf team.
