During which time period does Landon's elevation change the fastest? Explain how you know?
bogdanovich [222]
<h3>1. How many inches per minute does London's elevation change between 4 minutes and 8 minutes. </h3>

The question actually asks for the slope of the line that stands for the points (4,3) \ and \ (8,6) why? because the questions tells us that London's elevation changes between 4 minutes and 8 minutes here. Hence, to find the slope of this line we have to use the following formula:

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\ \\ But: \\ \\ P(x_{1},y_{1})=P(4,3) \\ P(x_{2},y_{2})=P(8,6)

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\ \\ But: \\ \\ P(x_{1},y_{1})=P(4,3) \\ P(x_{2},y_{2})=P(8,6) \\ \\ So: \\ \\ m=\frac{6-3}{8-4}=0.75in/min

<em>So London's elevation changes 0.75 inches per minute</em>

<em></em>

<h3>2. During which time period does London's elevation change the fastest?</h3>

The greater the absolute value of the slope of the line the faster London's elevation changes. Since this is a Piecewise function, we must analyze each period.

  • FIRST:

→ Between 0 minutes and 4 minutes the function is constant, so there is no any change here.

→ Between 10 minutes and 14 minutes the function is constant, so there is no any change here.

→ Between 18 minutes and 22 minutes the function is constant, so there is no any change here.

So the solution is not in these parts of the function.

  • SECOND:

→ Between 4 minutes and 10 minutes the function has a positive slope, so there is change here.

In the previous item we calculated the slope between 4 and 8 minutes that is the same slope between 4 and 8 minutes and equals 0.75.

→ Between 14 minutes and 18 minutes the function has a positive slope, so there is change here.

Let's take two points here, say, (16,5) \ and \ (18,3)

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\ \\ But: \\ \\ P(x_{1},y_{1})=P(16,5) \\ P(x_{2},y_{2})=P(18,3) \\ \\ So: \\ \\ m=\frac{3-5}{18-16}=-1 in/min

As you can see, the absolute value here is 1 that is greater than 0.75.

<em>In conclusion, London's elevation changes the fastest between 14 and 18 minutes</em>

A professor pays 25 cents for each blackboard error made in lecture to the student who pointsout the error. In a career ofnyears
marta [7]

Answer:

(a) The probability that <em>Y</em>₂₀ exceeds 1000  is 3.91 × 10⁻⁶.

(b) <em>n</em> = 28.09

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>Y</em>ₙ is defined as the total numbers of dollars paid in <em>n</em> years.

It is provided that <em>Y</em>ₙ can be approximated by a Gaussian distribution, also known as Normal distribution.

The mean and standard deviation of <em>Y</em>ₙ are:

\mu_{Y_{n}}=40n\\\sigma_{Y_{n}}=\sqrt{100n}

(a)

For <em>n</em> = 20 the mean and standard deviation of <em>Y</em>₂₀ are:

\mu_{Y_{n}}=40n=40\times20=800\\\sigma_{Y_{n}}=\sqrt{100n}=\sqrt{100\times20}=44.72\\

Compute the probability that <em>Y</em>₂₀ exceeds 1000 as follows:

P(Y_{n}>1000)=P(\frac{Y_{n}-\mu_{Y_{n}}}{\sigma_{Y_{n}}}>\frac{1000-800}{44.72})\\=P(Z>  4.47)\\=1-P(Z

**Use a <em>z </em>table for probability.

Thus, the probability that <em>Y</em>₂₀ exceeds 1000  is 3.91 × 10⁻⁶.

(b)

It is provided that P (<em>Y</em>ₙ > 1000) > 0.99.

P(Y_{n}>1000)=0.99\\1-P(Y_{n}

The value of <em>z</em> for which P (Z < z) = 0.01 is 2.33.

Compute the value of <em>n</em> as follows:

z=\frac{Y_{n}-\mu_{Y_{n}}}{\sigma_{Y_{n}}}\\2.33=\frac{1000-40n}{\sqrt{100n}}\\2.33=\frac{100}{\sqrt{n}}-4\sqrt{n}  \\2.33=\frac{100-4n}{\sqrt{n}} \\5.4289=\frac{(100-4n)^{2}}{n}\\5.4289=\frac{10000+16n^{2}-800n}{n}\\5.4289n=10000+16n^{2}-800n\\16n^{2}-805.4289n+10000=0

The last equation is a quadratic equation.

The roots of a quadratic equation are:

n=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

a = 16

b = -805.4289

c = 10000

On solving the last equation the value of <em>n</em> = 28.09.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 16.6km, and its area is 13.42km2. Find its length and width. length : km width : km
Otrada [13]

Answer:

l=5.12 & w=2.62

Step by step explanation:

A=l×w

13.42=lw

w=13.42/l

p = 2(l + w) \\ 16.6 = 2(l +  \frac{13.42}{l} ) \\ 16.6 = 2( \frac{ {l}^{2}  + 13.42}{l}) \\ 16.6 = 2(l + 13.42) \\ 16.6 = 2l + 26.84 \\ 2l = 26.84 - 16.6 \\ 2l = 10.24 \\ l =  \frac{10.24}{2}  \\ l = 5.12km

Since you have found the value of the length you can find the value.of the width.

w =  \frac{13.42}{l}  \\ w =  \frac{13.42}{5.12}  \\ w = 2.62km
