Rewrite the square root of X as X^ 1/2. Then take the derivative. Since 1/3 is a constant with respect to X you can pull that out. So, you should have
1/3 d/dx [ (2x^2-x^5)/3x^1/2].

Then factor x^2 out of 2x^2-x^5.

Then by using the negative exponent rule you should have

1/3 d/dx [ x^2(2-x^3)x^-1/2 ]

Then multiply x^2 by x ^-1/2 by adding the exponents.

1/3 d/dx [ x^3/2 (2-x^3)]

Then differentiate.

You should get x^1/2 - (3x^7/2)/2.

I hope that helps.

Determine whether the normal sampling distribution can be used. The claim is p < 0.015 and the sample size is n

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Complete Question

Determine whether the normal sampling distribution can be used. The claim is p < 0.015 and the sample size is n=150

Answer:

Normal sampling distribution can not be used

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The null hypothesis is $H_o : p = 0.015$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_a : p < 0.015$

The sample size is n= 150

Generally in order to use normal sampling distribution

The value $np \ge 5$

$np = 0.015 * 150$

$np = 2.25$

Given that $np < 5$ normal sampling distribution can not be used

Find the coordinates of the intersection of the diagonals of the parallelogram with the vertices W(−2, 5), X(2, 5), Y(4, 0),

emmasim [6.3K]

Using the midpoint formula, the coordinates of the intersection of the diagonals of the parallelogram is: (1, 2.5).

<h3>What are Diagonals of a Parallelogram?</h3>

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, therefore, the coordinates of their intersection can be determined using the midpoint formula, which is: $M(\frac{x_2 + x_1}{2}, \frac{y_2 + y_1}{2})$ .
