a rock is launched from a canon. it's height, h(x), can be represented by a quadratic function in terms of time, x, in seconds.

After 1 second, the Rock is 58 ft in the air; after 2 seconds, it is 112 feet in the air. find the height, in feet, of the rock after 10 seconds in the air.

This is the quadratic function:
h(x)=ax²+bx+c

We have two points:
(1,58)
(2,112)

Now, we calculate this quadratic funtion.

we assume that h(0)=0
Therefore:
a(0)²+b(0)+c=0
c=0

(1,58)
a(1)²+b(1)=58
a+b=58  (1)

(2,112)
a(2)²+b(2)=112
4a+2b=112
2a+b=56  (1)

With the equations (1) and (2) we make a system of equations:
a+b=58
2a+b=56
we can solve this system of equations by reduction method.
-(a+b=58)
2a+b=56
---------------------
a=-2

-2(a+b=58)
 2a+b=56
-------------------
       -b=-60  ⇒  b=60

The function is:
h(x)=ax²+bx+c
h(x)=-2x²+60x

Now find the height, in feet, of the rock after 10 seconds in the air.

h(10)=-2(10)²+60(10)
h(10)=-200+600=400

Answer:

(a) E(X) =  0.383

The expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site is 0.383.

(b) P(x = 4) = 0.000169

There is a 0.000169 probability that 4 of the 10 selected facilities treat hazardous waste on-site.

Step-by-step explanation:

Professional Geographer (Feb. 2000) reported the hazardous waste generation and disposal characteristics of 209 facilities.

N = 209

Only eight of these facilities treated hazardous waste on-site.

r = 8

a. In a random sample of 10 of the 209 facilities, what is the expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site?

n = 10

The expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site is given by

$ E(X) =  \frac{n \times r}{N} $

$ E(X) =  \frac{10 \times 8}{209} $

$ E(X) =  \frac{80}{209} $

E(X) =  0.383

Therefore, the expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site is 0.383.

b. Find the probability that 4 of the 10 selected facilities treat hazardous waste on-site

The probability is given by

$ P(x = 4) =  \frac{\binom{r}{x} \binom{N - r}{n - x}}{\binom{N}{n}} $

For the given case, we have

N = 209

n = 10

r = 8

x = 4

$ P(x = 4) =  \frac{\binom{8}{4} \binom{209 - 8}{10 - 4}}{\binom{209}{10}} $

$ P(x = 4) =  \frac{\binom{8}{4} \binom{201}{6}}{\binom{209}{10}} $

$ P(x = 4) =  \frac{70 \times 84944276340}{35216131179263320}

P(x = 4) = 0.000169

Therefore, there is a 0.000169 probability that 4 of the 10 selected facilities treat hazardous waste on-site.

In order to make a service for four 1 3/4 cups of chopped vegetables are needed. Based on this information, determine the amount
Mila [183]

For this case we propose a rule of three according to the data of the statement. To do this, we convert the mixed number into an improper fraction:

1 \frac {3} {4} = \frac {4 * 1 + 3} {4} = \frac {7} {4}cups

4 ----------> \frac {7} {4}

10 ----------> x

Where the variable "x" represents the amount of chopped of vegetables needed for 10 people.

x = \frac {10 * \frac {7} {4}} {4}\\x = \frac {\frac {70} {4}} {4}\\x = \frac {70} {16}\\x = \frac {35} {8}

This is equivalent to 4 \frac {3} {8}cups.

Answer:

4 \frac {3} {8} cups
