When data consist of percentages, ratios, compounded growth rates, or other rates of change, the geometric mean is a useful meas

ure of central tendency. For n data values, the geometric mean, assuming all data values are positive, is as follows. To find the average growth factor over 5 years of an investment in a mutual fund with growth rates of 10.5% the first year, 12.1% the second year, 13.5% the third year, 3.5% the fourth year, and 7.3% the fifth year, take the geometric mean of 1.105, 1.121, 1.135, 1.035, and 1.073. Find the average growth factor of this investment. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answer: 1.09

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Year__growth rate ___growth factor

1 ______10.5% _____ 100%+10.5%

2______12.1%______ 100%+12. 1%

3______13.5%______ 100%+13.5%

4______3.5%_______ 100%+3.5%

5______7.3%_______ 100%+7.3%

The geometric mean:

(Product of the n data values)^(1/n)

Where n = number of data values

For the data above, the average growth factor :

n = 5

(1.105×1.121×1.135×1.035×1.073)^(1/5)

= (1.561362785497125)^(1/5)

= 1.0932028

= 1.09

Hence, average growth factor = 1.09

WILL MAKE BRAINLIEST!!! A Ferris wheel has a diameter of 220 feet and the center of the wheel is 125 feet above the ground. The
daser333 [38]
Since the radius of a circle is half its diameter, the radius of our Ferris wheel is r= \frac{220}{2} =110ft

Next, we are going to convert from revolutions per minute to degrees per second.
We know that t<span>he wheel makes a complete turn every 2 minutes, so it makes a complete turn in 120 seconds. Since there are 360° in a complete turn, we can set up our conversion factor:
</span>\frac{1*360}{120}=3 degrees per second 
<span>
Now, lets find the height:
</span>We know that <span>the passenger is at the lowest point on the wheel when t=0; since the wheel is 125 feet above the ground, at t=0 h=125. To find t at the top, we are going to take advantage of the fact that the wheel will turn 180° from the lowest point to the top and that it turns 3° every second:
</span>t= \frac{180}{3}
t=60
Notice that the height at the top is the diameter of the wheel plus the height above the ground, so h=220+125=345.

To model the situation we are going to use the cosine function, but notice that cos (\alpha) is 1 when \alpha =0 and -1 wen \alpha =180. Since we want the opposite, we are going to use negative cosine.
Notice that we want \alpha =180 when t=60, so we are going to use -cos(3t). Next, we are going to multiply our cosine by the radius of our wheel: -110cos(3t), and last but not least we are going to add the sum of the radius of the wheel plus the height above the ground:
h=110+125-110cos(3t)
h=225-110cos(3t)

Now that we have our height function lets check if everything is working:
<span>the passenger is at the lowest point at t=0; we also know that the lowest point is 125 feet above the ground, so lets evaluate our function at t=0:
</span>h=225-110cos(3t)
h=225-110cos(3*0)
h=125 feet 
So far so good. 
We also know that at t=60, our passenger is 345 feet above the ground, so lets evaluate our function at t=60 and check if coincides:
h=225-110cos(3t)
h=225-110cos(3*60)
h=225-110cos(180)
h=345feet 

We can conclude that cosine function that express the height h (in feet) of a passenger on the wheel as a function of time t (in minutes) ) is: h=225-110cos(3t)

Is -6.175 is an irrational number?
kipiarov [429]
No.

Any number you can write completely is a rational number.
Any number with a repeating decimal fraction is also a rational number.
___
Any number that goes on forever without repeating is an irrational number. These are usually represented symbolically (because they cannot be written "exactly" any other way). These include such numbers as √2, π, e, ∛(-4), and an infinite number of others.
