Answer:

7 hours 30min

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one :

Given data

We are told that Erica can paint 1 room in 5hours

Her work rate is 1/5 room per hour

And also with the assistance of her friend they can paint 1 room in 3 hours

Hence their combined work rate is 1/3 room per hour

Step two

The combined work expression is

1/A+1/B=1/T

Where A=Erica's work rate

B=Rachael's work rate

T=combined work

1/5+1/B=1/3

1/B=1/3-1/5

1/B=5-3/15

1/B=2/15

B=15/2

B=7.5 hours

It will take Rachel 7 hours 30min to paint the room

The scheduled arrival time for a daily flight from Boston to New York is 9:30 am. Historical data show that the arrival time fol

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be a random variable representing the flight arrival time from Boston to New York.

For a uniform probability distribution, the notation is

X U(a, b) where a is the lowest value of x and b is the lowest value of x

The probability density function, f(x) = 1/(b - a)

Mean, µ = (a + b)/2

Standard deviation, σ = √(b - a)²/12

From the information given, the time difference in minutes is 9:57 - 9:07 = 50 minutes. Therefore,

a = 0

b = 50

µ = (0 + 50)/2 = 25

σ = √(50 - 0)²/12 = 14.43

b) converting to minutes, it is 9:30 - 9:07 = 23 minutes

the probability that a flight arrives late(later than 9:30 am) is expressed as P(x > 23)

f(x) = 1/(50) = 0.02

P(x > 23) = (50 - 23)0.02 = 0.54

Implicit Differentiation

The derivative of a constant is equal to 0

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Product Rule: $\frac{d}{dx} [f(x)g(x)]=f'(x)g(x) + g'(x)f(x)$

Chain Rule: $\frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)$

Quotient Rule: $\frac{d}{dx} [\frac{f(x)}{g(x)} ]=\frac{g(x)f'(x)-g'(x)f(x)}{g^2(x)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

-y - 2x³ = y²

Rate of change of tangent line at point (-1, -2)

<u>Step 2: Differentiate Pt. 1</u>

<em>Find 1st Derivative</em>

Implicit Differentiation [Basic Power Rule]: $-y'-6x^2=2yy'$
[Algebra] Isolate <em>y'</em> terms: $-6x^2=2yy'+y'$
[Algebra] Factor <em>y'</em>: $-6x^2=y'(2y+1)$
[Algebra] Isolate <em>y'</em>: $\frac{-6x^2}{(2y+1)}=y'$
[Algebra] Rewrite: $y' = \frac{-6x^2}{(2y+1)}$

<u>Step 3: Differentiate Pt. 2</u>

<em>Find 2nd Derivative</em>

Differentiate [Quotient Rule/Basic Power Rule]: $y'' = \frac{-12x(2y+1)+6x^2(2y')}{(2y+1)^2}$
[Derivative] Simplify: $y'' = \frac{-24xy-12x+12x^2y'}{(2y+1)^2}$
[Derivative] Back-Substitute <em>y'</em>: $y'' = \frac{-24xy-12x+12x^2(\frac{-6x^2}{2y+1} )}{(2y+1)^2}$
[Derivative] Simplify: $y'' = \frac{-24xy-12x-\frac{72x^4}{2y+1} }{(2y+1)^2}$

<u>Step 4: Find Slope at Given Point</u>

[Algebra] Substitute in <em>x</em> and <em>y</em>: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-24(-1)(-2)-12(-1)-\frac{72(-1)^4}{2(-2)+1} }{(2(-2)+1)^2}$
[Pre-Algebra] Exponents: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-24(-1)(-2)-12(-1)-\frac{72(1)}{2(-2)+1} }{(2(-2)+1)^2}$
[Pre-Algebra] Multiply: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-48+12-\frac{72}{-4+1} }{(-4+1)^2}$
[Pre-Algebra] Add: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-36-\frac{72}{-3} }{(-3)^2}$
[Pre-Algebra] Exponents: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-36-\frac{72}{-3} }{9}$
[Pre-Algebra] Divide: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-36+24 }{9}$
[Pre-Algebra] Add: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-12}{9}$
[Pre-Algebra] Simplify: $y''(-1,-2) = \frac{-4}{3}$
