Answer:

$x = 9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$WX = x + 5$

$XY = 3x - 13,$

Required

Find x

To do this, I will assume $WX = XY$ .

So, we have:

$x + 5 = 3x - 13$

Collect Like Terms

$x - 3x = -5 - 13$

$-2x = -18$

Divide by -2

$x = 9$

Jobisdone [24]

Parameterize $S$ by the vector function

$\vec r(x,y)=x\,\vec\imath+y\,\vec\jmath+f(x,y)\,\vec k$

so that the normal vector to $S$ is given by

$\dfrac{\partial\vec r}{\partial x}\times\dfrac{\partial\vec r}{\partial y}=\left(\vec\imath+\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}\,\vec k\right)\times\left(\vec\jmath+\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}\,\vec k\right)=-\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}\vec\imath-\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}\vec\jmath+\vec k$

with magnitude

$\left\|\dfrac{\partial\vec r}{\partial x}\times\dfrac{\partial\vec r}{\partial y}\right\|=\sqrt{\left(\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}\right)^2+\left(\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}\right)^2+1}$

In this case, the normal vector is

$\dfrac{\partial\vec r}{\partial x}\times\dfrac{\partial\vec r}{\partial y}=-\dfrac{\partial(8-x-2y)}{\partial x}\,\vec\imath-\dfrac{\partial(8-x-2y)}{\partial y}\,\vec\jmath+\vec k=\vec\imath+2\,\vec\jmath+\vec k$

with magnitude $\sqrt{1^2+2^2+1^2}=\sqrt6$ . The integral of $f(x,y,z)=e^z$ over $S$ is then

$\displaystyle\iint_Se^z\,\mathrm d\Sigma=\sqrt6\iint_Te^{8-x-2y}\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx$

where $T$ is the region in the $x,y$ plane over which $S$ is defined. In this case, it's the triangle in the plane $z=0$ which we can capture with $0\le x\le8$ and $0\le y\le\frac{8-x}2$ , so that we have

$\displaystyle\sqrt6\iint_Te^{8-x-2y}\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=\sqrt6\int_0^8\int_0^{(8-x)/2}e^{8-x-2y}\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx=\boxed{\sqrt{\frac32}(e^8-9)}$

The mean of a set of data is 148.87 and its standard deviation is 68.29. Find the z score for a value of 490.19.

Ksivusya [100]

<span>The mean of a set of data is 148.87 and its standard deviation is 68.29. Find the z score for a value of 490.19
the z-score is given by:
z=(x-</span>μ<span>)/</span>σ
plugging in the values in the expression we get:
z=(490.19-149.87)/68.29
z=340.32/68.29
