On a snow day, Mason created two snowmen in his backyard. Snowman A was built to a height of 51 inches and Snowman B was built t

o a height of 29 inches. The next day, the temperature increased and both snowmen began to melt. At sunrise, Snowman A's height decrease by 4 inches per hour and Snowman B's height decreased by 2 inches per hour. Let A(t) represent the height of Snowman A tt hours after sunrise and let B(t)B(t) represent the he ight of Snowman B tt hours after sunrise. Write the equation for each function and determine the interval of time, t,t, when Snowman A is taller than Snowman B.

Answer:

A ( t ) = -4t + 51

B ( t ) = -2t + 29

t < 11 hours ... [ 0 , 11 ]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- The height of snowman A, Ao = 51 in

- The height of snowman B, Bo = 29 in

Solution:-

- The day Mason made two snowmans ( A and B ) with their respective heights ( A(t) and B(t) ) will be considered as the initial value of the following ordinary differential equation.

- To construct two first order Linear ODEs we will consider the rate of change in heights of each snowman from the following day.

- The rate of change of snowman A's height  ( A ) is:

                           \frac{d h_a}{dt} = -4

- The rate of change of snowman B's height ( B ) is:

                           \frac{d h_b}{dt} = -2

Where,

                   t: The time in hours from the start of melting process.

- We will separate the variables and integrate both of the ODEs as follows:

                            \int {} \, dA=  -4 * \int {} \, dt + c\\\\A ( t ) = -4t + c

                            \int {} \, dB=  -2 * \int {} \, dt + c\\\\B ( t ) = -2t + c

- Evaluate the constant of integration ( c ) for each solution to ODE using the initial values given: A ( 0 ) = Ao = 51 in and B ( 0 ) = Bo = 29 in:

                            A ( 0 ) = -4(0) + c = 51\\\\c = 51

                           B ( 0 ) = -2(0) + c = 29\\\\c = 29

- The solution to the differential equations are as follows:

                          A ( t ) = -4t + 51

                          B ( t ) = -2t + 29

- To determine the time domain over which the snowman A height A ( t ) is greater than snowman B height B ( t ). We will set up an inequality as follows:

 

                              A ( t ) > B ( t )

                          -4t + 51 > -2t + 29

                                  2t < 22

                               t < 11 hours

- The time domain over which snowman A' height is greater than snowman B' height is given by the following notation:

konstantin123 [22]

Answer: 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Add them all up

18+21+20+14+17=90

Divide by 5 since that is how many numbers there are

90/5=18

Describe how a statistical question yields an answer with variability. Give a example.
solniwko [45]
Statistics is not an exact science, meaning that with any answer, there will be variance. This is because the sample size used to obtain values is always smaller than the population being studied.

A farmer needs to ship 71 pumpkins to a grocery store if each crates can hold 19 pumpkins how many crates Will the farmer need ?
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

The farmer will need 7 crates.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>It is given that there are 71 pumpkins in total.</em>

<em>And each crate holds 19 pumpkins.</em>

Let the number of crates required be<em> "n".</em>

The total number of pumpkins can be calculated by multiplying number of pumpkins in each crate with total number of crates.

Thus, the equation is

19(n) = 71

n = \frac{71}{19} = 7

Thus, the farmer needs 7 crates to hold total of 71 pumpkins.
