Answer:

The probability of drawing an odd numbered ticket is 60%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Odd numbered tickets:

Probability of one is 1/5 plus half of 1/5.

$P(X = 1) = \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{10} = \frac{3}{10}$

Probability of 3 is half of 1/5.

$P(X = 3) = \frac{1}{10}$

Probability of 5 is 1/5. So

$P(X = 5) = \frac{1}{5}$

Probability of drawing an odd numbered ticket:

$p = P(X = 1) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 5) = \frac{3}{10} + \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{4}{10} + \frac{2}{10} = \frac{6}{10} = 0.6$

0.6*100% = 60%

The probability of drawing an odd numbered ticket is 60%.

The concentration C of certain drug in a patient's bloodstream t hours after injection is given by

frozen [14]

Answer:

a) The horizontal asymptote of $C(t)$ is $c = 0$ .

b) When t increases, both the numerator and denominator increases, but given that the grade of the polynomial of the denominator is greater than the grade of the polynomial of the numerator, then the concentration of the drug converges to zero when time diverges to the infinity. There is a monotonous decrease behavior.

c) The time at which the concentration is highest is approximately 1.291 hours after injection.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The horizontal asymptote of $C(t)$ is the horizontal line, to which the function converges when $t$ diverges to the infinity. That is:

$c = \lim _{t\to +\infty} \frac{t}{3\cdot t^{2}+5}$ (1)

$c = \lim_{t\to +\infty}\left(\frac{t}{3\cdot t^{2}+5} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{t^{2}}{t^{2}} \right)$

$c = \lim_{t\to +\infty}\frac{\frac{t}{t^{2}} }{\frac{3\cdot t^{2}+5}{t^{2}} }$

$c = \lim_{t\to +\infty} \frac{\frac{1}{t} }{3+\frac{5}{t^{2}} }$

$c = \frac{\lim_{t\to +\infty}\frac{1}{t} }{\lim_{t\to +\infty}3+\lim_{t\to +\infty}\frac{5}{t^{2}} }$

$c = \frac{0}{3+0}$

$c = 0$

The horizontal asymptote of $C(t)$ is $c = 0$ .

b) When t increases, both the numerator and denominator increases, but given that the grade of the polynomial of the denominator is greater than the grade of the polynomial of the numerator, then the concentration of the drug converges to zero when time diverges to the infinity. There is a monotonous decrease behavior.

c) From Calculus we understand that maximum concentration can be found by means of the First and Second Derivative Tests.

First Derivative Test

The first derivative of the function is:

$C'(t) = \frac{(3\cdot t^{2}+5)-t\cdot (6\cdot t)}{(3\cdot t^{2}+5)^{2}}$

$C'(t) = \frac{1}{3\cdot t^{2}+5}-\frac{6\cdot t^{2}}{(3\cdot t^{2}+5)^{2}}$

$C'(t) = \frac{1}{3\cdot t^{2}+5}\cdot \left(1-\frac{6\cdot t^{2}}{3\cdot t^{2}+5} \right)$

Now we equalize the expression to zero:

$\frac{1}{3\cdot t^{2}+5}\cdot \left(1-\frac{6\cdot t^{2}}{3\cdot t^{2}+5} \right) = 0$

$1-\frac{6\cdot t^{2}}{3\cdot t^{2}+5} = 0$

$\frac{3\cdot t^{2}+5-6\cdot t^{2}}{3\cdot t^{2}+5} = 0$

$5-3\cdot t^{2} = 0$

$t = \sqrt{\frac{5}{3} }\,h$

$t \approx 1.291\,h$

The critical point occurs approximately at 1.291 hours after injection.

Second Derivative Test

The second derivative of the function is:

$C''(t) = -\frac{6\cdot t}{(3\cdot t^{2}+5)^{2}}-\frac{(12\cdot t)\cdot (3\cdot t^{2}+5)^{2}-2\cdot (3\cdot t^{2}+5)\cdot (6\cdot t)\cdot (6\cdot t^{2})}{(3\cdot t^{2}+5)^{4}}$

$C''(t) = -\frac{6\cdot t}{(3\cdot t^{2}+5)^{2}}- \frac{12\cdot t}{(3\cdot t^{2}+5)^{2}}+\frac{72\cdot t^{3}}{(3\cdot t^{2}+5)^{3}}$

$C''(t) = -\frac{18\cdot t}{(3\cdot t^{2}+5)^{2}}+\frac{72\cdot t^{3}}{(3\cdot t^{2}+5)^{3}}$

If we know that $t \approx 1.291\,h$ , then the value of the second derivative is:

$C''(1.291\,h) = -0.077$

Which means that the critical point is an absolute maximum.

The time at which the concentration is highest is approximately 1.291 hours after injection.

Courtney constructed this figure using a compass with its width set equal to PR, the radius of the circle. She claims triangle P

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

It helps if you have the figure included. However, since it is not, we can assume that she has gone around the circle with all six sides of the hexagon is set to PR.

That makes the hexagon with 6 equal sides. It also makes each triangle using one of the sides equal to PR. The radii are all equal. There are 6 triangles making up the hexagon.

Both statements she makes are true and that makes B the answer.
