ad-work [718]

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, the units are just the number of boxes/grid-squares. So count how many boxes they have to walk between each step. You start at the top left location, and go around to all of them counting the boxes they pass.

they should all add up to 28 boxes, or 28 units!

A box is being created out of a 15 inch by 10 inch sheet of metal. Equal-sized squares are cutout of the corners, then the sides

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Therefore the dimensions of the square should be 0.1528 inch by 0.1528 inch so, the box has largest volume.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A box is being created out of a 15 inches by 10 inches sheet of metal.

The length of the one side of the squares which are cut out of the each corners of the metal sheet be x.

The length of the metal box be = (15-2x) inches.

The width of the metal box be =(10-2x) inches

The height of the metal box be =x inches

Then, the volume of the metal box= length×width×height

=(15-2x)(10-2x)x cubic inches

=(150x-50x²+4x³) cubic inches

∴ V= 4x³-50x²+15x

Differentiating with respect to x

V'=12x²-100x+15

Again differentiating with respect to x

V''=24x-100

For maximum or minimum value, V'=0

12x²-100x+15=0

Apply quadratic formula $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ , here a=12, b= -100 and c=15

$x=\frac{-(-100)\pm\sqrt{(-100)^2-4.12.15}}{2.12}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{100\pm\sqrt{9280}}{2.12}$

$\Rightarrow x=0.1528,8.18$

For x= 8.18, The value of (15-2x) and (10-2x) will negative.

∴x=0.1528 .

Now, $V''|_{x=0.1528}=24(0.1528)-100$

∴At x=0.1528 inch, the volume of the metal box will be maximum.

Therefore the dimensions of the square should be 0.1528 inch by 0.1528 inch so, the box has largest volume.

The average amount of time that students use computers at a university computer center is 36 minutes with a standard deviation o

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

2119 students use the computer for more than 40 minutes. This number is higher than the threshold estabilished of 2000, so yes, the computer center should purchase the new computers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 36, \sigma = 5$

The first step to solve this question is finding the proportion of students which use the computer more than 40 minutes, which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 40. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{40 - 36}{5}$

$Z = 0.8$

$Z = 0.8$ has a pvalue of 0.7881.

1 - 0.7881 = 0.2119

So 21.19% of the students use the computer for longer than 40 minutes.

Out of 10000

0.2119*10000 = 2119

2119 students use the computer for more than 40 minutes. This number is higher than the threshold estabilished of 2000, so yes, the computer center should purchase the new computers.

Linear equations assignment:

Daniel [21]

Answer:

20 laps

Step-by-step explanation:

2 times = +1 dollars for Paula, +0.50 dollars for Jacki

Try multiplying it the least amount of times to Paula can have more and so 20 times and Paula will have 20 dollar sand Jacki will have 19.75, therefore she needs to do 20 laps.

True or false?is the point(16,4) included in this function: Y=2x or Y=x2 or y= x+12 or y=x-12

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

It is true because the graph of $y=x-12$ passes through the point $(16,4)$

x = 16

y = 4

Substitute

4 = 16 - 12

4 = 4

Therefore, the answer is true.
