The grades on a language midterm at Oak Academy are roughly symmetric with = 67 and 0 = 2.5. Ishaan scored 70 on the exam. Find

the z-score for Ishaan's exam grade. Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer: 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X denotes the grades on a language midterm at Oak Academy.

As per given ,

X follows normal distribution ( because it has symmetric graph)

$\mu=67,\ \ \ \ \sigma= 2.5$

Formula for z : $z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$

For X = 70, we have

$z=\dfrac{70-67}{2.5}=\dfrac{3}{2.5}=1.2$

Hence, the z-score for Ishaan's exam grade = 1.2

Find the critical points of the function f(x, y) = 8y2x − 8yx2 + 9xy. Determine whether they are local minima, local maxima, or

NARA [144]

Answer:

Saddle point: $(0,0)$

Local minimum: $(\frac{3}{8}, -\frac{3}{8})$

Local maxima: $(0,-\frac{9}{8})$ , $(\frac{9}{8},0)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is:

$f(x,y) = 8\cdot y^{2}\cdot x -8\cdot y\cdot x^{2} + 9\cdot x \cdot y$

The partial derivatives of the function are included below:

$\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = 8\cdot y^{2}-16\cdot y\cdot x+9\cdot y$

$\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = y \cdot (8\cdot y -16\cdot x + 9)$

$\frac{\partial f}{\partial y} = 16\cdot y \cdot x - 8 \cdot x^{2} + 9\cdot x$

$\frac{\partial f}{\partial y} = x \cdot (16\cdot y - 8\cdot x + 9)$

Local minima, local maxima and saddle points are determined by equalizing both partial derivatives to zero.

$y \cdot (8\cdot y -16\cdot x + 9) = 0$

$x \cdot (16\cdot y - 8\cdot x + 9) = 0$

It is quite evident that one point is (0,0). Another point is found by solving the following system of linear equations:

$\left \{ {{-16\cdot x + 8\cdot y=-9} \atop {-8\cdot x + 16\cdot y=-9}} \right.$

The solution of the system is (3/8, -3/8).

Let assume that y = 0, the nonlinear system is reduced to a sole expression:

$x\cdot (-8\cdot x + 9) = 0$

Another solution is (9/8,0).

Now, let consider that x = 0, the nonlinear system is now reduced to this:

$y\cdot (8\cdot y+9) = 0$

Another solution is (0, -9/8).

The next step is to determine whether point is a local maximum, a local minimum or a saddle point. The second derivative test:

$H = \frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial x^{2}} \cdot \frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial y^{2}} - \frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial x \partial y}$

The second derivatives of the function are:

$\frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial x^{2}} = 0$

$\frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial y^{2}} = 0$

$\frac{\partial^{2} f}{\partial x \partial y} = 16\cdot y -16\cdot x + 9$

Then, the expression is simplified to this and each point is tested:

$H = -16\cdot y +16\cdot x -9$

S1: (0,0)

$H = -9$ (Saddle Point)

S2: (3/8,-3/8)

$H = 3$ (Local maximum or minimum)

S3: (9/8, 0)

$H = 9$ (Local maximum or minimum)

S4: (0, - 9/8)

$H = 9$ (Local maximum or minimum)

Unfortunately, the second derivative test associated with the function does offer an effective method to distinguish between local maximum and local minimums. A more direct approach is used to make a fair classification:

S2: (3/8,-3/8)

$f(\frac{3}{8} ,-\frac{3}{8} ) = - \frac{27}{64}$ (Local minimum)

S3: (9/8, 0)

$f(\frac{9}{8},0) = 0$ (Local maximum)

S4: (0, - 9/8)

$f(0,-\frac{9}{8} ) = 0$ (Local maximum)

Saddle point: $(0,0)$

Local minimum: $(\frac{3}{8}, -\frac{3}{8})$

Local maxima: $(0,-\frac{9}{8})$ , $(\frac{9}{8},0)$

Two figures are similar, and the scale factor is 2/3

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

The answer is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor between the figures is 2/3, this means that the ratio of the smaller figure to the larger figure is 2/3:

$\frac{smaller\:figure}{larger\:figure}=\frac{2}{3}$ .

So when a side of the the larger figure is 12 then:

$\frac{smaller\:figure\: side}{12}=\frac{2}{3}$

Therefore

$smaller\:figure\:side=\frac{2}{3}*12=8$ .

Thus the length of the corresponding smaller side is 8.
