Answer:

The point C is 12.68 km away from the point A on a bearing of S23.23°W.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that AB is 50 km and BC is 40 km as shown in the figure.

From the figure, the length of x-component of AC = |AB sin 80° - BC cos 20°|

=|50 sin 80° - 40 cos 20°|=11.65 km

The length of y-component of AC = |AB cos 80° - BC sin 20°|

=|50 cos 80° - 40 sin 20°|= 5 km

tan\theta= 5/11.65

\theta=23.23°

AC= \sqrt{5^2+11.65^2}=12.68 km

Hence, the point C is 12.68 km away from the point A on a bearing of S23.23°W.

Listed below are prices in dollars for one night at different hotels in a certain region. Find the​ range, variance, and standar
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Range = 115$

Standard Deviation = 43.76$

Variance = 1915.142$

Option  A) The measures of variation are not very useful because when searching for a​ room, low​ prices, location, and good accommodations are more important than the amount of variation in the area.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the data for  prices in dollars for one night at different hotels in a certain region.

234, 160, 119, 131, 218, 207, 146, 141        

Range:

Sorted data: 119, 131, 141, 146, 160, 207, 218, 234

\text{Range} = 234-119 = 115\$

Standard Deviation:

\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}  

where x_i are data points, \bar{x} is the mean and n is the number of observations.  

Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}

Mean =\displaystyle\frac{1356}{8} = 169.5

Sum of squares of differences = 4160.25 + 90.25 + 2550.25 + 1482.25 +  2352.25 + 1406.25 + 552.25 + 812.25 = 13406

\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{13406}{7}} = 43.76\$

Variance =

\sigma^2 = 1915.142\$

Measure of variance for someone searching for room:

Option  A) The measures of variation are not very useful because when searching for a​ room, low​ prices, location, and good accommodations are more important than the amount of variation in the area.

A family has two cars. The first car has a fuel efficiency of 15 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of
professor190 [17]

The fuel consumption of each of the cars during the week are as follows;

  • The first car consumes <u>20 gallons of fuel</u>.
  • The second car consumes <u>30 gallons of fuel</u>.

Reasons:

Fuel efficiency of the first car = 15 miles per  gallon

Fuel efficiency of the second car = 35 miles per gallon

Combined distance traveled by the two cars in a week = 1,350 miles

The total gas consumption during the week = 50 gallons

Let <em>x</em> represent the number of gallons consumed by the first car, and let <em>y</em>

represent the number of gallons consumed by the second car, we get the

following system of simultaneous equations;

  • 15·x + 35·y = 1,350...(1)
  • x + y = 50...(2)

Therefore;

y = 50 - x

Which gives;

15·x + 35 × (50 - x) = 1,350

15·x + 1,750 - 35·x = 1,350

1,750 - 1,350 = 35·x - 15·x = 20·x

400 = 20·x

x = 400 ÷ 20 = 20

  • The number of gallons consumed by the first car, x = <u>20 gallons</u>

From equation (2), we have;

x + y = 50

y = 50 - x

Therefore;

y = 50 - 20 = 30

  • The number of gallons consumed by the second car, y = <u>30 gallons</u>

When an electric current passes through two resistors with resistance r1 and r2, connected in parallel, the combined resistance,
kondaur [170]

Answer:

a)

The combined resistance of a circuit consisting of two resistors in parallel is given by:

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{r_1}+\frac{1}{r_2}

where

R is the combined resistance

r_1, r_2 are the two resistors

We can re-write the expression as follows:

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{r_1+r_2}{r_1r_2}

Or

R=\frac{r_1 r_2}{r_1+r_2}

In order to see if the function is increasing in r1, we calculate the derivative with respect to r1: if the derivative if > 0, then the function is increasing.

The derivative of R with respect to r1 is:

\frac{dR}{dr_1}=\frac{r_2(r_1+r_2)-1(r_1r_2)}{(r_1+r_2)^2}=\frac{r_2^2}{(r_1+r_2)^2}

We notice that the derivative is a fraction of two squared terms: therefore, both factors are positive, so the derivative is always positive, and this means that R is an increasing function of r1.

b)

To solve this part, we use again the expression for R written in part a:

R=\frac{r_1 r_2}{r_1+r_2}

We start by noticing that there is a limit on the allowed values for r1: in fact, r1 must be strictly positive,

r_1>0

So the interval of allowed values for r1 is

0

From part a), we also said that the function is increasing versus r1 over the whole domain. This means that if we consider a certain interval

a ≤ r1 ≤ b

The maximum of the function (R) will occur at the maximum value of r1 in this interval: so, at

r_1=b
