A watt is a unit of power, which measures energy used per unit time. A kilowatt hour means 1 kilowatt of electricity used contin

uously for 1 hr. The electric utility company in Laura's town charges $0.06001 for each
kilowatt hour used. Laura heats her house with three electric heaters that each use 1200 watts. How much does it cost to heat a house in one day? How many hours what a 75 watt lightbulb have to stay on to result in one dollar for electricity charges?

Answer:

It costs Laura $ 5,184.86 to heat her house one day.

A 75 watt lightbulb should be around 222 hours to consume a dollar in electricity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a kilowatt hour means 1 kilowatt of electricity used continuously for 1 hr, and the electric utility company in Laura's town charges $ 0.06001 for each kilowatt hour used, and Laura heats her house with three electric heaters that each use 1200 watts, to determine how much does it cost to heat a house in one day and how many hours would a 75 watt lightbulb have to stay on to result in one dollar for electricity charges the following calculations must be performed:

(3 x 1200 x 24) x 0.06001 = X

(3600 x 24) x 0.06001 = X

86400 x 0.06001 = X

5,184.86 = X

Therefore, it costs Laura $ 5,184.86 to heat her house one day.

1 watt = 0.001 kilowatt

75 watt = 0.075 kilowatt

1 / 0.075 = 13.333

1 / 0.06001 = 16,663

13,333 x 16,663 = 222.18

Therefore, a 75 watt lightbulb should be around 222 hours to consume a dollar in electricity.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!! Find the length of DF
Leto [7]

Answer:

190.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{2 y - 3 x - 8 = 3 y + 4 x - 1 | (AB=DE)

4 y + 10 x + 3 = -2 y - 17 x + 9 | (BC=EF)

x = -16/5, y = 77/5

DF=AC=-27x+5y+27=190.4

Please help!! Which of the following is equal to the rational expression when x ≠ 2 or -4? 5(x-2)/(x-2)(x+4)
Stels [109]

Answer:

5 / (x+4)      x ≠2 x≠-4

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x-2)/(x-2)(x+4)

The denominator cannot be zero so x ≠2 x≠-4

Cancel like terms in the numerator and denominator

5 / (x+4)      x ≠2 x≠-4

Which of the following statements are not true in developing a confidence interval for the population mean?
frutty [35]

Answer:

b) The width of the confidence interval becomes narrower when the sample mean increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval can be calculated as:

\bar{x} \pm \text{Test Statistic}\displaystyle\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

a) The width of the confidence interval becomes wider as the confidence level increases.

The above statement is true as the confidence level increases the width increases as the absolute value of test statistic increases.

b) The width of the confidence interval becomes narrower when the sample mean increases.

The above statement is false. As the sample mean increases the width of the confidence interval increases.

c) The width of the confidence interval becomes narrower when the sample size n increases.

The above statement is true as the sample size increases the standard error decreases and the confidence interval become narrower.

PLEASE HELP, GOOD ANSWERS GET BRAINLIEST. +40 POINTS WRONG ANSWERS GET REPORTED
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
1. Ans:(A) 123

Given function: f(x) = 8x^2 + 11x
The derivative would be:
\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(8x^2 + 11x)
=> \frac{d}{dx} f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(8x^2) + \frac{d}{dx}(11x)
=> \frac{d}{dx} f(x) = 2*8(x^{2-1}) + 11
=> \frac{d}{dx} f(x) = 16x + 11

Now at x = 7:
\frac{d}{dx} f(7) = 16(7) + 11

=> \frac{d}{dx} f(7) = 123

2. Ans:(B) 3

Given function: f(x) =3x + 8
The derivative would be:
\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(3x + 8)
=> \frac{d}{dx} f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(3x) + \frac{d}{dx}(8)
=> \frac{d}{dx} f(x) = 3*1 + 0
=> \frac{d}{dx} f(x) = 3

Now at x = 4:
\frac{d}{dx} f(4) = 3 (as constant)

=>Ans:  \frac{d}{dx} f(4) = 3

3. Ans:(D) -5

Given function: f(x) = \frac{5}{x}
The derivative would be:
\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(\frac{5}{x})
or 
\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(5x^{-1})
=> \frac{d}{dx} f(x) = 5*(-1)*(x^{-1-1})
=> \frac{d}{dx} f(x) = -5x^{-2}

Now at x = -1:
\frac{d}{dx} f(-1) = -5(-1)^{-2}

=> \frac{d}{dx} f(-1) = -5 *\frac{1}{(-1)^{2}}
=> Ans: \frac{d}{dx} f(-1) = -5

4. Ans:(C) 7 divided by 9

Given function: f(x) = \frac{-7}{x}
The derivative would be:
\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(\frac{-7}{x})
or 
\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(-7x^{-1})
=> \frac{d}{dx} f(x) = -7*(-1)*(x^{-1-1})
=> \frac{d}{dx} f(x) = 7x^{-2}

Now at x = -3:
\frac{d}{dx} f(-3) = 7(-3)^{-2}

=> \frac{d}{dx} f(-3) = 7 *\frac{1}{(-3)^{2}}
=> Ans: \frac{d}{dx} f(-3) = \frac{7}{9}

5. Ans:(C) -8

Given function: 
f(x) = x^2 - 8

Now if we apply limit:
\lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = \lim_{x \to 0} (x^2 - 8)

=> \lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = (0)^2 - 8
=> Ans: \lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = - 8

6. Ans:(C) 9

Given function: 
f(x) = x^2 + 3x - 1

Now if we apply limit:
\lim_{x \to 2} f(x) = \lim_{x \to 2} (x^2 + 3x - 1)

=> \lim_{x \to 2} f(x) = (2)^2 + 3(2) - 1
=> Ans: \lim_{x \to 2} f(x) = 4 + 6 - 1 = 9

7. Ans:(D) doesn't exist.

Given function: f(x) = -6 + \frac{x}{x^4}
In this case, even if we try to simplify it algebraically, there would ALWAYS be x power something (positive) in the denominator. And when we apply the limit approaches to 0, it would always be either + infinity or -infinity. Hence, Limit doesn't exist.

Check:
f(x) = -6 + \frac{x}{x^4} \\ f(x) = -6 + \frac{1}{x^3} \\ f(x) = \frac{-6x^3 + 1}{x^3} \\ Rationalize: \\ f(x) = \frac{-6x^3 + 1}{x^3} * \frac{x^{-3}}{x^{-3}} \\ f(x) = \frac{-6x^{3-3} + x^{-3}}{x^0} \\ f(x) = -6 + \frac{1}{x^3} \\ Same

If you apply the limit, answer would be infinity.

8. Ans:(A) Doesn't Exist.

Given function: f(x) = 9 + \frac{x}{x^3}
Same as Question 7
If we try to simplify it algebraically, there would ALWAYS be x power something (positive) in the denominator. And when we apply the limit approaches to 0, it would always be either + infinity or -infinity. Hence, Limit doesn't exist.

9, 10.
Please attach the graphs. I shall amend the answer. :)

11. Ans:(A) Doesn't exist.

First We need to find out: \lim_{x \to 9} f(x) where,
f(x) = \left \{ {{x+9, ~~~~~x \textless 9} \atop {9- x,~~~~~x \geq 9}} \right.

If both sides are equal on applying limit then limit does exist.

Let check:
If x \textless 9: answer would be 9+9 = 18
If x \geq 9: answer would be 9-9 = 0

Since both are not equal, as 18 \neq 0, hence limit doesn't exist.


12. Ans:(B) Limit doesn't exist.

Find out: \lim_{x \to 1} f(x) where,

f(x) = \left \{ {{1-x, ~~~~~x \textless 1} \atop {x+7,~~~~~x \textgreater 1} } \right. \\ and \\ f(x) = 8, ~~~~~ x=1

If all of above three are equal upon applying limit, then limit exists.

When x < 1 -> 1-1 = 0
When x = 1 -> 8
When x > 1 -> 7 + 1 = 8

ALL of the THREE must be equal. As they are not equal. 0 \neq 8; hence, limit doesn't exist.

13. Ans:(D) -∞; x = 9

f(x) = 1/(x-9).

Table:

x                      f(x)=1/(x-9)       

----------------------------------------

8.9                       -10

8.99                     -100

8.999                   -1000

8.9999                 -10000

9.0                        -∞


Below the graph is attached! As you can see in the graph that at x=9, the curve approaches but NEVER exactly touches the x=9 line. Also the curve is in downward direction when you approach from the left. Hence, -∞,  x =9 (correct)

 14. Ans: -6

s(t) = -2 - 6t

Inst. velocity = \frac{ds(t)}{dt}

Therefore,

\frac{ds(t)}{dt} = \frac{ds(t)}{dt}(-2-6t) \\ \frac{ds(t)}{dt} = 0 - 6 = -6

At t=2,

Inst. velocity = -6


15. Ans: +∞,  x =7 

f(x) = 1/(x-7)^2.

Table:

x              f(x)= 1/(x-7)^2     

--------------------------

6.9             +100

6.99           +10000

6.999         +1000000

6.9999       +100000000

7.0              +∞

Below the graph is attached! As you can see in the graph that at x=7, the curve approaches but NEVER exactly touches the x=7 line. The curve is in upward direction if approached from left or right. Hence, +∞,  x =7 (correct)
