Question: "If y > 3, what is the value of n ?"

Mathematics
1 answer:
iris [78.8K]2 years ago

Answer:

y-3

Problem:

What is the remainder when the dividend is xy-3, the divisor is y, and the quotient is x-1. ?

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividend=quotient×divisor+remainder

So we have

xy-3=(x-1)×(y)+remainder

xy-3=(xy-y)+remainder *distributive property

Now we just need to figure out what polynomial goes in for the remainder so this will be a true identity.

We need to get rid of minus y so we need plus y in the remainder.

We also need minus 3 in the remainder.

So the remainder is y-3.

Let's try it out:

xy-3=(xy-y)+remainder

xy-3=(xy-y)+(y-3)

xy-3=xy-3 is what we wanted so we are done here.

A rectangular box without a lid is to be made from 48 m2 of cardboard. Find the maximum volume of such a box. SOLUTION We let x,
tatiyna

Answer:

The maximum volume of such box is 32m^3

V = x×y×z = 32 m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Total surface area S = 48m^2

Volume of a rectangular box V = length×width×height

V = xyz ......1

Total surface area of a rectangular box without a lid is

S = xy + 2xz + 2yz = 48 .....2

To be able to maximize the volume, we need to reduce the number of variables.

Let assume the rectangular box has a square base,that means; length = width

x = y

Substituting y with x in equation 1 and 2;

V = x^2(z) ....3

x^2 + 4xz = 48 .....4

Making z the subject of formula in equation 4

4xz = 48 - x^2

z = (48 - x^2)/4x .......5

To be able to maximize V, we need to reduce the number of variables to 1, by substituting equation 5 into equation 3

V = x^2 × (48 - x^2)/4x

V = (48x - x^3)/4

differentiating V with respect to x;

V' = (48 - 3x^2)/4

At the maximum point V' = 0

V' = (48 - 3x^2)/4 = 0

Solving for x;

3x^2 = 48

x = √(48/3)

x = √(16)

x = 4

Since x = y

y = 4

From equation 5;

z = (48 - x^2)/4x

z = (48 - 4^2)/4(4)

z = 32/16

z = 2

The maximum volume can be derived by substituting x,y,z into equation 1;

V = xyz = 4×4×2 = 32 m^3

A data set lists weights​ (lb) of plastic discarded by households. The highest weight is 5.31 ​lb, the mean of all of the weight
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

a) The difference is of 3.222 lbs.

b) 1.64 standard deviations.

c) Z = 1.64

d) Not significant, as the z-score of 1.64 is between -2 and 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The mean of all of the weights is x=2.088 ​lb, and the standard deviation of the weights is s=1.968 lb.

This means that \mu = 2.088, \sigma = 1.968

a. What is the difference between the weight of 5.31 lb and the mean of the​ weights?

This is X - \mu = 5.31 - 2.088 = 3.222

The difference is of 3.222 lbs.

b. How many standard deviations is that​ [the difference found in part​ (a)]?

This is the z-score. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{5.31 - 2.088}{1.968}

Z = 1.64

1.64 standard deviations.

c. Convert the weight of 5.31 lb to a z score.

Z = 1.64, as found above.

d. If we consider weights that convert to z scores between −2 and 2 to be neither significantly low nor significantly​ high, is the weight of 5.31 lb​ significant?

Not significant, as the z-score of 1.64 is between -2 and 2.
