Which of the following illustrates the truth value of the given conditional statement?

1 answer:

5 0

Test the nature of the roots by evaluating the discriminant b^2 - 4ac:

Discriminant = 1^2 - 4 * 1 * 1 = -3

This is negative so there are no real roots of this equation

Square root of 3 is irrational

So its F T --> F

A piece of paper is to display ~128~ 128 space, 128, space square inches of text. If there are to be one-inch margins on both si

Grace [21]

Answer:

The dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

$Area = 128$

Let the dimension of the paper be x and y;

Such that:

$Length = x$

$Width = y$

So:

$Area = x * y$

Substitute 128 for Area

$128 = x * y$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{128}{y}$

When 1 inch margin is at top and bottom

The length becomes:

$Length = x + 1 + 1$

$Length = x + 2$

When 2 inch margin is at both sides

The width becomes:

$Width = y + 2 + 2$

$Width = y + 4$

The New Area (A) is then calculated as:

$A = (x + 2) * (y + 4)$

Substitute $\frac{128}{y}$ for x

$A = (\frac{128}{y} + 2) * (y + 4)$

Open Brackets

$A = 128 + \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8$

Collect Like Terms

$A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 8+128$

$A = \frac{512}{y} + 2y + 136$

$A= 512y^{-1} + 2y + 136$

To calculate the smallest possible value of y, we have to apply calculus.

Different A with respect to y

$A' = -512y^{-2} + 2$

Set

$A' = 0$

This gives:

$0 = -512y^{-2} + 2$

Collect Like Terms

$512y^{-2} = 2$

Multiply through by $y^2$

$y^2 * 512y^{-2} = 2 * y^2$

$512 = 2y^2$

Divide through by 2

$256=y^2$

Take square roots of both sides

$\sqrt{256=y^2$

$16=y$

$y = 16$

Recall that:

$x = \frac{128}{y}$

$x = \frac{128}{16}$

$x = 8$

Recall that the new dimensions are:

$Length = x + 2$

$Width = y + 4$

So:

$Length = 8 + 2$

$Length = 10$

$Width = 16 + 4$

$Width = 20$

To double-check;

Differentiate A'

$A' = -512y^{-2} + 2$

$A" = -2 * -512y^{-3}$

$A" = 1024y^{-3}$

$A" = \frac{1024}{y^3}$

The above value is:

$A" = \frac{1024}{y^3} > 0$

This means that the calculated values are at minimum.

<em>Hence, the dimensions of the smallest piece that can be used are: 10 by 20 and the area is 200 square inches</em>

In the group of hundred students68 likes football 60 likes volleyball how many likes only football

diamong [38]

Answer:

18 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount is 100

Take 68 and add to 60 to get 128.

Subtract from both numbers until you get to 50.

68 needs 18 subtracted to get to 50.

60 needs 10 to get to 50.

18 plus 10 is 28, which is the excess.

Here, 18 people like only football.

Michelle draws a card from a standard deck of 52 cards. She replaces the card and draws a second card. What is the probability t

erma4kov [3.2K]

To draw a heart, one would be choosing 1 card of 13 possible hearts, and 0 from the remaining 39 non-hearts. With respect to the entire deck, one would be choosing 1 card from 52 total cards. So the probability of drawing a heart is

$\dfrac{\dbinom{13}1\cdot\dbinom{39}0}{\dbinom{52}1}=\dfrac{13\cdot1}{52}=\dfrac14$

When Michelle replaces the card, the deck returns the normal, so the probability of drawing any card from a given suit is the same, $\dfrac14$ . In other words, drawing a spade is independent of having drawn the heart first.

So the probability of drawing a heart, replacing it, then drawing a spade is $\dfrac14\cdot\dfrac14=\dfrac1{16}$ .
