A square dinner napkin 8in. on each side is folded along its diagonal. Find the area of the folded napkin.

1 answer:

8 0

Since you need to find the area of a square napkin, you need to know what the formula for a square is. It is height multiplied by base. So a square is equal in all sides. 8×8=64
Answer: 64 in²

What kind of problem do we need to use “indefinite integral” to solve? Use a real life example to explain.

anastassius [24]

Answer:

Indefinite integration acts as a tool to solve many physical problems.

There are many type of problems that require an indefinite integral to solve.

Basically indefinite integration is required when we deal with quantities that vary spatially or temporally.

As an example consider the following example:

Suppose that we need to calculate the total force on a object placed in a non- uniform field.

As an example let us consider a rod of length L that posses an charge 'q' per meter length and suppose that we place it in a non uniform electric field which is given by

$E(x)=\frac{E_{o}}{e^{kx}}$

Now in order to find the total force on the rod we cannot use the similar procedure as we can see that the force on the rod varies with the position of the rod.

But if w consider an element 'dx' of the rod at a distance 'x' from the origin the force on this element will be given by

$dF=E(x)\times qdx\\\\dF=\frac{qE_{o}}{e^{kx}}dx$

Now to find the whole force on the rod we need to sum this quantity over the whole length of the rod requiring integration, as shown

$\int dF=\int \frac{qE_{o}}{e^{kx}}dx$

Similarly there are numerous problems considering motion of particles that require applications of indefinite integration.

Estimate the minimum and maximum ages for typical textbooks currently used in college courses, then use the range rule of thumb

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

$n=(\frac{1.64(4)}{0.25})^2 =688.537 \approx 689$

So the answer for this case would be n=689 rounded up to the nearest integer

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete question: "Suppose that the minimum and maximum ages for typical textbooks currently used in college courses are 0 and 8 years. Use the range rule of thumb to estimate the standard deviation.

Estimate the minimum and maximum ages for typical textbooks currently used in college courses, then use the range rule of thumb to estimate the standard deviation. Next, find the size of the sample required to estimate the mean age (in years) of textbooks currently used in college courses. Use a 90% confidence level and assume that the sample mean will be in error by no more than 0.25 year."

Solution for the problem

First we need ti find the estimation for the standard deviation using the Rule of thumb, with the following formula:

$s \approx \frac{R}{4}$

Where R is the range defined as :

$R = Max - Min = 8-0 = 8$

So then the deviation would be approximately:

$s \approx 4$

Important concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error (ME) is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The margin of error is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

And on this case we have that $ME =\pm 0.25$ and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (1) we got:

$n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2$ (2)

We can assume that the estimator for the population deviation from the rule of thumb is $\hat \sigma = s= 4$

The critical value for 90% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. And in excel we can use this formla to find it:"=-NORM.INV(0.05;0;1)", and we got $z_{\alpha/2}=1.64$ , replacing into formula (2) we got:

$n=(\frac{1.64(4)}{0.25})^2 =688.537 \approx 689$

So the answer for this case would be n=689 rounded up to the nearest integer

Solve each of the following equations for the given variable using proper algebraic notation. Show ALL work for full marks.

icang [17]

Answer:

3x=42

Divide 3x to both sides

14=x

56=8x

Divide 8 to both sides

7=6

6x+4=40

subtract 4 to both sides

6x=36

divide 6 to both sides

x=6

58=4x-6

add 6 to both sides

64=4x

divide 4 to both sides

16=x
