Answer: |10 - (-8)|

The absolute value is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two numbers is a subtraction equation.

10 - (-8) Subtracting a negative is like adding a positive

10 + 8 = 18

If you look at it as the first negative sign means -1 multiplied by the next negative number, "Remember that a negative times a negative is a positive!"

Answer:

|-10 - (-8)|

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance from 10 to 0: 10
Distance from 0 to -8: 8
Put them together (with absolute value): |-10 - (-8)|

I hope this helps!

How would I go about solving this problem???

So.. if you take a peek at the picture below

the trunk is really just a half-cylinder on top of a square, with a depth of 2 meters

what's the volume? well, easy enough, take the volume of the cylinder, then half it
take the volume of the rectangular prism, and then add them both

$\bf \textit{volume of a cylinder}\\\\

\begin{array}{llll}
C=\pi r^2 h\\\\
\textit{half that}\\\\
\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{2}
\end{array}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
h=height\\
-------\\
r=\frac{1}{2}\\
h=2
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{C}{2}=\cfrac{\pi \left( \frac{1}{2}\right)^2 2}{2}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\textit{volume of a square}\\\\
V=lwh\qquad 
\begin{cases}
l=length\\
w=width\\
h=height
----------\\
l=1\\
w=1\\
h=2
\end{cases}\implies V=2$

now.. for the surface area... $\bf \textit{surface area of a cylinder}\\\\
\begin{array}{llll}
S=2\pi r(h+r)\\\\
\textit{half that}\\\\
\cfrac{2\pi r(h+r)}{2}
\end{array}\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
h=height\\
-------\\
r=\frac{1}{2}\\
h=2
\end{cases}$

now.. for the surface area of the prism... well

is really just 6 rectangles stacked up to each other at the edges

so... get the area of the lateral rectangles, and the one at the bottom, skip the rectangle atop, because is the one overlapping the cylinder, and is not outside, and thus is not surface area then

for the lateral ones, you have a front of 1x1, a back of 1x1 and a left of 1x2 and a right of 1x2, and then the one at the bottom, which is a 1x2

then add both surface areas, and that's the surface area of the trunk

A programmer plans to develop a new software system. In planning for the operating system that he will use, he needs to estimat

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Using the z-distribution, we have that:

a) A sample of 601 is needed.

b) A sample of 93 is needed.

c) A. Yes, using the additional survey information from part (b) dramatically reduces the sample size.

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which z is the z-score that has a p-value of $\frac{1+\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

95% confidence level, hence $\alpha = 0.95$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $\frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975$ , so $z = 1.96$ .

For this problem, we consider that we want it to be within 4%.

Item a:

The sample size is <u>n for which M = 0.04.</u>

There is no estimate, hence $\pi = 0.5$

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.04 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5(0.5)}{n}}$

$0.04\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}}{0.04}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}}{0.04}\right)^2$

$n = 600.25$

Rounding up:

A sample of 601 is needed.

Item b:

The estimate is $\pi = 0.96$ , hence:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.04 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.96(0.04)}{n}}$

$0.04\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.96(0.04)}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.96(0.04)}}{0.04}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.96(0.04)}}{0.04}\right)^2$

$n = 92.2$

Rounding up:

A sample of 93 is needed.

Item c:

The closer the estimate is to $\pi = 0.5$ , the larger the sample size needed, hence, the correct option is A.

I need to find the derivative. I’m not very good at this so I am answer asap would be sosososo helpful

Bingel [31]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, notice that this is a composition of functions. For instance, let's let $f(x)=\sqrt{x}$ and $g(x)=7x^2+4x+1$ . Then, the given equation is essentially $f(g(x))=\sqrt{7x^2+4x+1}$ . Thus, we can use the chain rule.

Recall the chain rule: $\frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))]=f'(g(x))\cdot g'(x)$ . So, let's find the derivative of each function:

$f(x)=\sqrt{x}=x^\frac{1}{2}$

We can use the Power Rule here:

$f'(x)=(x^\frac{1}{2})'=\frac{1}{2}(x^{-\frac{1}{2} })=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}$

Now:

$g(x)=7x^2+4x+1$

Again, use the Power Rule and Sum Rule

$g'(x)=(7x^2+4x+1)'=(7x^2)'+(4x)'+(1)'=14x+4$

Now, we can put them together:

$y'=f'(g(x))\cdot g'(x)=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{g(x)}} \cdot (14x+4)$

$y'=\frac{14x+4}{2\sqrt{7x^2+4x+1} } =\frac{7x+2}{\sqrt{7x^2+4x+1} }$

How can you tell whether the parabola had a vertical or horizontal shift?

Schach [20]

If the x is squared, the parabola is vertical (opens up or down). If the y is squared, it is horizontal (opens left or right). If a is positive, the parabola opens up or to the right. If it is negative, it opens down or to the left.
