Answer:

Width = 18 inches

Length = 59 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of a rectangle is five more than triple the width. If the perimeter is 154 inches, what are the dimensions

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2L + 2W

The length of a rectangle is five more than triple the width.

L = Length = 5 + 3W

W = Width

If the perimeter is 154 inches, what are the dimensions

Hence,

154 = 2L + 2W

154 = 2(5 + 3W ) + 2W

154 = 10 + 6W + 2W

Collect like terms

154 - 10 = 8W

144 = 8W

W = 144/8

W = 18 inches

Length = 5 + 3W

Length = 5 + 3(18)

Length = 5 + 54

Length = 59 inches

A researcher wants to run a 2 × 3 mixed factorial design. The first factor is within-subjects. The second factor is between-subj

gogolik [260]

Answer:

the answer is option c

c)60

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given statement 2 × 3 mixed factorial design where 2 is a factor which is within the subject and

3 is the subject between the subject

then observation per cell where participants will need is 3* 20 = 60 because 3 is the factor between the subject.

I need help with part B

lys-0071 [83]

Okay, well with the information given, you can not come to an answer. Is there something that shows all of the students who were in the survey?

Edit: Okay so there are 520 students in total.

We can say that the graph is equal to 520/520

However, we are trying to find how many of the 520 people voted for james. We know that James received 15% of the votes.

Now, we can find 15% of 520 by taking 15/100 times 520. The answer is 78.

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

a) Figure attached

b) For this case we just need to see what is the value of the function when x tnd to infinity. As we can see in our original function if x goes to infinity out function tend to 1000 and thats our limiting size.

c) $p'(t) =\frac{19000 e^{-\frac{t}{5}}}{5 (1+19e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^2}$

And if we find the derivate when t=1 we got this:

$p'(t=1) =\frac{38000 e^{-\frac{1}{5}}}{(1+19e^{-\frac{1}{5}})^2}=113.506 \approx 114$

And if we replace t=10 we got:

$p'(t=10) =\frac{38000 e^{-\frac{10}{5}}}{(1+19e^{-\frac{10}{5}})^2}=403.204 \approx 404$

d) $0 = \frac{7600 e^{-\frac{t}{5}} (19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1)}{(1+19e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^3}$

And then:

$0 = 7600 e^{-\frac{t}{5}} (19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1)$

$0 =19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1$

$ln(\frac{1}{19}) = -\frac{t}{5}$

$t = -5 ln (\frac{1}{19}) =14.722$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete problem: "A lake is stocked with 500 fish, and the population increases according to the logistic curve p(t) = 10000 / 1 + 19e^-t/5 where t is measured in months. (a) Use a graphing utility to graph the function. (b) What is the limiting size of the fish population? (c) At what rates is the fish population changing at the end of 1 month and at the end of 10 months? (d) After how many months is the population increasing most rapidly?"

Solution to the problem

We have the following function

$P(t)=\frac{10000}{1 +19e^{-\frac{t}{5}}}$

(a) Use a graphing utility to graph the function.

If we use desmos we got the figure attached.

(b) What is the limiting size of the fish population?

For this case we just need to see what is the value of the function when x tnd to infinity. As we can see in our original function if x goes to infinity out function tend to 1000 and thats our limiting size.

(c) At what rates is the fish population changing at the end of 1 month and at the end of 10 months?

For this case we need to calculate the derivate of the function. And we need to use the derivate of a quotient and we got this:

$p'(t) = \frac{0 - 10000 *(-\frac{19}{5}) e^{-\frac{t}{5}}}{(1+e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^2}$

And if we simplify we got this:

$p'(t) =\frac{19000 e^{-\frac{t}{5}}}{5 (1+19e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^2}$

And if we simplify we got:

$p'(t) =\frac{38000 e^{-\frac{t}{5}}}{(1+19e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^2}$

And if we find the derivate when t=1 we got this:

$p'(t=1) =\frac{38000 e^{-\frac{1}{5}}}{(1+19e^{-\frac{1}{5}})^2}=113.506 \approx 114$

And if we replace t=10 we got:

$p'(t=10) =\frac{38000 e^{-\frac{10}{5}}}{(1+19e^{-\frac{10}{5}})^2}=403.204 \approx 404$

(d) After how many months is the population increasing most rapidly?

For this case we need to find the second derivate, set equal to 0 and then solve for t. The second derivate is given by:

$p''(t) = \frac{7600 e^{-\frac{t}{5}} (19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1)}{(1+19e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^3}$

And if we set equal to 0 we got:

$0 = \frac{7600 e^{-\frac{t}{5}} (19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1)}{(1+19e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^3}$

And then:

$0 = 7600 e^{-\frac{t}{5}} (19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1)$

$0 =19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1$

$ln(\frac{1}{19}) = -\frac{t}{5}$

$t = -5 ln (\frac{1}{19}) =14.722$
