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

A value of two standard deviation from the mean is more likely to occur than a value three standard deviations from the mean

Anvisha [2.4K]

This is true. The closer to the mean that a value is, the more likely it is to occur.

In this case, two and three standard deviations away are both fairly unlikely, however, two is still more likely to occur than three.

What is the solution of the system? Use elimination.

sweet [91]

Answer:

The solutions to the system of the equations by the elimination method will be:

$x=2,\:z=-1,\:y=2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of the equations

$2x\:+\:2y\:+z\:=\:7$

$-x-\:y\:+z\:=\:-5$

$x+3y-4z=12$

solving the system of the equations by the elimination method

$\begin{bmatrix}2x+2y+z=7\\ -x-y+z=-5\\ x+3y-4z=12\end{bmatrix}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:}-x-y+z=-5\mathrm{\:by\:}2\:\mathrm{:}\:\quad \:-2x-2y+2z=-10$

$\begin{bmatrix}2x+2y+z=7\\ -2x-2y+2z=-10\\ x+3y-4z=12\end{bmatrix}$

$-2x-2y+2z=-10$

$+$

$\underline{2x+2y+z=7}$

$3z=-3$

$\begin{bmatrix}2x+2y+z=7\\ 3z=-3\\ x+3y-4z=12\end{bmatrix}$

$2x+6y-8z=24$

$-$

$\underline{2x+2y+z=7}$

$4y-9z=17$

$\begin{bmatrix}2x+2y+z=7\\ 3z=-3\\ 4y-9z=17\end{bmatrix}$

Rearranging the equations

$\begin{bmatrix}2x+2y+z=7\\ 4y-9z=17\\ 3z=-3\end{bmatrix}$

solve $3z=-3$ for z:

$z=-1$

$\mathrm{For\:}4y-9z=17\mathrm{\:plug\:in\:}z=-1$

solve $4y-9\left(-1\right)=17$ for y:

$4y-9\left(-1\right)=17$

$4y+9=17$

$4y=8$

$y=2$

$\mathrm{For\:}2x+2y+z=7\mathrm{\:plug\:in\:}z=-1,\:y=2$

solve $2x+2\cdot \:2-1=7$ for x:

$2x+2\cdot \:2-1=7$

$2x+3=7$

$2x=4$

$x=2$

Therefore, the solutions to the system of the equations by the elimination method will be:

$x=2,\:z=-1,\:y=2$

F(x)=x^2 is vertically stretched by a factor of 2 and translated by 3 units left to create g(x). What does g(x)= ?

gavmur [86]

g(x)=-2(x+3)^2

The -2 in front is the vertical stretch.

Also, because it is going 3 units to the left, you have to put the 3 on the inside and because it is left you do the opposite and it is +3.
