Answer:

1: 233 m

2: 466 m

3: 241.87 m

4: 483.72

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2, in which c is the hypotenuse (in this case, PQ and RS).

1: 105^2 + 208^2 = 54289, square root of 54289 = 233

2: Since the area of the triangle makes up half of the rectangle, multiply the area by 2 to get 466

3: 120^2 + 210^2 = 58500, square root of 58500 is 241.87

4: Multiply by 2 to get 483.72

There are 2,000 eligible voters in a precinct. A total of 500 voters are randomly selected and asked whether they plan to vote f

Ann [662]

Answer:

$0.7 - 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{500}}=0.647$

$0.7 + 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{500}}=0.753$

And the 99% confidence interval would be given (0.647;0.753).

So the correct answer would be:

a. 0.647 and 0.753

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

Solution to the problem

The estimated population proportion for this case is:

$\hat p = \frac{350}{500}=0.7$

The confidence interval would be given by this formula

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

For the 99% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.99=0.01$ and $\alpha/2=0.005$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=2.58$

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

$0.7 - 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{500}}=0.647$

$0.7 + 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{500}}=0.753$

And the 99% confidence interval would be given (0.647;0.753).

So the correct answer would be:

a. 0.647 and 0.753

Limit definition for slope of the graph, equation of tangent line point for<br> f(x)=2x^2 at x=(-1)

Tems11 [23]

The slope of the tangent line to $f$ at $x=-1$ is given by the derivative of $f$ at that point:

$f'(-1)=\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-1}\frac{f(x)-f(-1)}{x-(-1)}=\lim_{x\to-1}\frac{2x^2-2}{x+1}$

Factorize the numerator:

$2x^2-2=2(x^2-1)=2(x-1)(x+1)$

We have $x$ approaching -1; in particular, this means $x\neq-1$ , so that

$\dfrac{2x^2-2}{x+1}=\dfrac{2(x-1)(x+1)}{x+1}=2(x-1)$

Then

$f'(-1)=\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-1}\frac{2x^2-2}{x+1}=\lim_{x\to-1}2(x-1)=2(-1-1)=-4$

and the tangent line's equation is

$y-f(-1)=f'(-1)(x-(-1))\implies y-4x-2$

When the solutions are going to be complex, which methods can be used to solve quadratic equations?

yKpoI14uk [10]

You could complete the square to state the vertex.
You could use the quadratic equation to find the roots (which are complex).

Try an example that will require both.

y = x^2 + 2x + 5

Step One
Get the graph. That's included below.

Step Two
Provide the steps for completing the square.
Note: we should get (-1,4)

y= (x^2 +2x ) + 5
y = (x^2 +2x + 1) + 5 - 1
y = (x +1)^2 + 4

The vertex is at (-1,4)

Step Three
Find the roots. Use the quadratic equation. Note that the graph shows us that the equation never crosses or touches the x axis. The roots are complex.

$\text{x = }\dfrac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}$

a = 1
b = 2
c = 5

$\text{x = }\dfrac{ -2 \pm \sqrt{2^{2} - 4*1*5 } }{2}$
$\text{x = }\dfrac{ -2 \pm \sqrt{4 - 20 } }{2}$
$\text{x = }\dfrac{ -2 \pm \sqrt{-16 } }{2}$
$\text{x = }\dfrac{ -2 \pm 4i }{2}$
x = -1 +/- 2i

x1 = -1 + 2i
x2 = -1 - 2i And we are done.
