Answer:

The width which gives the greatest area is 7.5 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an application of differential calculus. Given the area as a function of the width, we simply need to differentiate the function with respect to x and equate to zero which yields; 15-2x=0 since the slope of the graph is zero at the turning points. Solving for x yields, x=7.5 which indeed maximizes the area of the pen

Given a mean of 24.5 and a standard deviation of 1.7 what is the z score of the value 24 rounded to the nearest tenth?
Softa [21]
The correct answer is B) -0.3

Z-scores are found using the formula

z = (X-μ)/σ

For this problem, we have

z = (24-24.5)/1.7 = -0.5/1.7 = -0.3

ind the present value that will grow to ​$4000 if the annual interest rate is ​8.5% compounded quarterly for 9 yr.
frozen [14]

Answer:

  $1876.31

Step-by-step explanation:

The present value can be found using the compound interest formula.

<h3>Present value</h3>

The formula for the future value of an investment of P earning annual interest rate r compounded n times per year for t years is ...

  FV = P(1 +r/n)^(nt)

Filling in the known values gives ...

  4000 = P(1 +0.085/4)^(4·9) = P(1.02125^36)

Then the amount to be invested is ...

  P = 4000/1.02125^36 ≈ 1876.31

The present value is $1876.31.
