The stream of water from a fountain follows a parabolic path. The stream reaches a maximum height of 7 feet, represented by a ve

xenn [34]

First of all, I'm going to assume that we have a concave down parabola, because the stream of water is subjected to gravity.

If we need the vertex to be at $x=4$ , the equation will contain a $(x-4)^2$ term.

If we start with $y=-(x-4)^2$ we have a parabola, concave down, with vertex at $x=4$ and a maximum of 0.

So, if we add 7, we will translate the function vertically up 7 units, so that the new maximum will be $(4, 7)$

We have

$y = -(x-4)+7$

Now we only have to fix the fact that this parabola doesn't land at $(8,0)$ , because our parabola is too "narrow". We can work on that by multiplying the squared parenthesis by a certain coefficient: we want

$y = a(x-4)^2+7$

such that:

$a$
when we plug $x=8$ , we have $y=0$

Plugging these values gets us

$0 = a(8-4)^2+7 \iff 16a+7=0 \iff a = -\dfrac{7}{16}$

As you can see in the attached figure, the parabola we get satisfies all the requests.

Doctor's order: Infuse 50mg of Amphotericin B in 250ml NS over 4 hr 15 min; Drop factor : 12gtt/ml. What flow rate ( ml/hr) will

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

59 ml/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of solution = 250 ml

Flow rate = 250 ÷ 4.25 hrs = 58.82352941176 ml/hr

since answer is required in ml/hr and not gtt/hr,

Therefore answer = 59 ml/hr to the nearest flow rate.

Monitors manufactured by TSI Electronics have life spans that have a normal distribution with a variance of 4,000,000 and a mean

In-s [12.5K]

Using the normal distribution, it is found that there is a 0.2776 = 27.76% probability that the life span of the monitor will be more than 20,179 hours.

<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ is given by:

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

The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.

Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.

The mean and the standard deviation are given, respectively, by:

$\mu = 19000, \sigma = \sqrt{4000000} = 2000$

The probability that the life span of the monitor will be more than 20,179 hours is <u>one subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 20179</u>, hence:

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

$Z = \frac{20179 - 19000}{2000}$

Z = 0.59.

Z = 0.59 has a p-value of 0.7224.

1 - 0.7224 = 0.2776.

0.2776 = 27.76% probability that the life span of the monitor will be more than 20,179 hours.

how many liters is 70% alcohol solution must be added to 50 L of 40% alcohol solution to produce a 50% alcohol solution

Anettt [7]

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved by C1V1 + C2V2 ÷ V1 + V2 = final concentration

Let x = volume of 70% solution

let's express the concentrations as decimals, so 70% = 0.7, 50% = 0.5, and 40% = 0.4

then 0.7X + 50L.4 ÷ X + 50L = 0.5

this equation becomes 0.5(X + 50) = 0.7X + 20

which yields 0.5X + 25 = 0.7X +20

combining, we get 5 = 0.2X, and 25 = X

when we mix the two volumes, we get 50L x 40% + 25L x 70%,

which yields 20L of 100% alcohol, and 17.5L of 100% alcohol, for a total of 37.5L of alcohol in 75L of solution

which is a final concentration of 50%
