For the function y = -2+5sin(pi/12(x-2)), what is the maximum value?

1 answer:

8 0

To get the function y = <span>-2+5sin(pi/12(x-2)), the maximum value can be determined by differentiating the function and equating it to zero. The value of x will give the maximum value of the function.
dy/dx = 5 cos (pi/12 (x-2)) (pi/12)
dy/dx = 5 pi/12 cos(pi/12 (x-2))

Equate to zero</span>:
<span>5 pi/12 cos(pi/12 (x-2)) =0
pi/12 (x-2) = 3pi/2
x = 8

Substituting,
y= -2 + 5sin( pi/12 (8-2)
y = -1.86

It takes Evan 6 3/4 hours to mow 3 lawns. it takes him 2 1/3 hours to mow Mr. Smiths yard and 1 3/4 hours to mow Ms. Lee's yard.

Ratling [72]

Answer: $2\frac{2}{3}\ hours$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The total time taken by Evan to mow the 3 lawns = $6\frac{3}{4}=\frac{27}{4}\ \text{hours}$

Time taken by Evan to mow the first lawn = $2\frac{1}{3}=\frac{7}{3}\ \text{hours}$

Time taken by Evan to mow the second lawn = $1\frac{3}{4}=\frac{7}{4}\ \text{hours}$

Now,Time taken by Evan to mow the third lawn = $\frac{27}{4}-\frac{7}{3}-\frac{7}{4}$

⇒Time taken by Evan to mow the third lawn = $\frac{81-28-21}{12}$

⇒Time taken by Evan to mow the third lawn = $\frac{32}{12}=\frac{8}{3}=2\frac{2}{3}\ hours$

Hence, the time taken by Evan to mow the third lawn = $2\frac{2}{3}\ hours$

A manufacturer reported a sample mean = 22.0 g and a sample standard deviation = 2.5 g based on a sample of 20 of their products

tester [92]

Answer:

$n=(\frac{1.640(2.5)}{2})^2 =4.2 \approx 5$

So the answer for this case would be n=5 rounded up to the nearest integer

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X=22$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s=2.5 represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size

ME = 2 represent the margin of error accepted

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

The margin of error is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (2)

And on this case we have that ME =2 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (2) we got:

$n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} s}{ME})^2$ (3)

We can use as estimator for the population deviation the sample deviation $\hat \sigma = s$

The critical value for 90% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. And in excel we can use this formla to find it:"=-NORM.INV(0.05;0;1)", and we got $z_{\alpha/2}=1.640$ , replacing into formula (3) we got:

$n=(\frac{1.640(2.5)}{2})^2 =4.2 \approx 5$

So the answer for this case would be n=5 rounded up to the nearest integer

3. i) Determine the volume of the cylinder above to the nearest cubic centimetre. (3 points)

klemol [59]

Answer:

1480cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The Equation for the Volume of a Cylinder is V=Bh, where B is the area of the circle (A= πr²).

We are given all of the things we need, we just have to plug them into the equation.

First let's find B using the radius(r) which is given to be 6.4cm, so B=πr²

B=π(6.4cm)²

Plug that into a calculator to get 128.6796351cm²

Now we can plug that into the original equation, V=Bh.

V=(128.6796351cm²)h

h is also given to be 11.5cm, so lets plug that in.

V=(128.6796351cm²)(11.5cm)

You will get V=1479.815804cm³, but since we are rounding to the nearest cubic centimeter, we would round up to 1480cm³.
