Answer:

Base = 8 * 17

Step-by-step explanation:

(Not sure what the "8" is, assuming an accidental input.)

Base area = 3536/26 = 136

136 = Lw

L = 136/w

L = w + 9

136/w = w + 9

136 = w(w + 9)

136 = w² + 9w

w² + 9w - 136

(w + 17)(w - 8)

Only use the positive result. w = 8

L = 8 + 9 = 17

Edit: Maybe 8 is the answer accidentally included in the question?...

Sedaia [141]

It looks like you're given

<em>F'(x)</em> = 3<em>x</em>² + 7

and

<em>F</em> (0) = 5

and you're asked to find <em>F(b)</em> for the values of <em>b</em> in the list {0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 2.0}.

The first is done for you, <em>F</em> (0) = 5.

For the remaining <em>b</em>, you can solve for <em>F(x)</em> exactly by using the fundamental theorem of calculus:

F(x)=F(0)+\displaystyle\int_0^x F'(t)\,\mathrm dt

F(x)=5+\displaystyle\int_0^x(3t^2+7)\,\mathrm dt

F(x)=5+(t^3+7t)\bigg|_0^x

F(x)=5+x^3+7x

Then <em>F</em> (0.1) = 5.701, <em>F</em> (0.2) = 6.408, <em>F</em> (0.5) = 8.625, and <em>F</em> (2.0) = 27.

On the other hand, if you're expected to <em>approximate</em> <em>F</em> at the given <em>b</em>, you can use the linear approximation to <em>F(x)</em> around <em>x</em> = 0, which is

<em>F(x)</em> ≈ <em>L(x)</em> = <em>F</em> (0) + <em>F'</em> (0) (<em>x</em> - 0) = 5 + 7<em>x</em>

Then <em>F</em> (0) = 5, <em>F</em> (0.1) ≈ 5.7, <em>F</em> (0.2) ≈ 6.4, <em>F</em> (0.5) ≈ 8.5, and <em>F</em> (2.0) ≈ 19. Notice how the error gets larger the further away <em>b </em>gets from 0.

A <em>better</em> numerical method would be Euler's method. Given <em>F'(x)</em>, we iteratively use the linear approximation at successive points to get closer approximations to the actual values of <em>F(x)</em>.

Let <em>y(x)</em> = <em>F(x)</em>. Starting with <em>x</em>₀ = 0 and <em>y</em>₀ = <em>F(x</em>₀<em>)</em> = 5, we have

<em>x</em>₁ = <em>x</em>₀ + 0.1 = 0.1

<em>y</em>₁ = <em>y</em>₀ + <em>F'(x</em>₀<em>)</em> (<em>x</em>₁ - <em>x</em>₀) = 5 + 7 (0.1 - 0)   →   <em>F</em> (0.1) ≈ 5.7

<em>x</em>₂ = <em>x</em>₁ + 0.1 = 0.2

<em>y</em>₂ = <em>y</em>₁ + <em>F'(x</em>₁<em>)</em> (<em>x</em>₂ - <em>x</em>₁) = 5.7 + 7.03 (0.2 - 0.1)   →   <em>F</em> (0.2) ≈ 6.403

<em>x</em>₃ = <em>x</em>₂ + 0.3 = 0.5

<em>y</em>₃ = <em>y</em>₂ + <em>F'(x</em>₂<em>)</em> (<em>x</em>₃ - <em>x</em>₂) = 6.403 + 7.12 (0.5 - 0.2)   →   <em>F</em> (0.5) ≈ 8.539

<em>x</em>₄ = <em>x</em>₃ + 1.5 = 2.0

<em>y</em>₄ = <em>y</em>₃ + <em>F'(x</em>₃<em>)</em> (<em>x</em>₄ - <em>x</em>₃) = 8.539 + 7.75 (2.0 - 0.5)   →   <em>F</em> (2.0) ≈ 20.164

Shop only had 2 types of stamps left using
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

  {3¢, 28¢} or {4¢, 19¢} or {7¢, 10¢}

Step-by-step explanation:

54 = 1×54 = 2×27 = 3×18 = 6×9

Possible values of the stamps are 1 more than the values of a pair of factors. Of course, a 2¢ and 55¢ stamp will not permit paying 54¢ in postage, so that combination won't work. However, other pairs that will work are ...

  • 3¢ and 28¢
  • 4¢ and 19¢
  • 7¢ and 10¢

Most evenings after dinner Duarte spends 30 minutes playing chess with his dad.
olasank [31]
T= total played
e= # evenings played
m= # minutes played

Total equals number of evenings played multiplied by number of minutes plated per evening.

EQUATION:
t=e * m

EQUATION (if 30 minutes per evening):
t=30e

Example:
3 nights, 30 minutes played

t= 3 * 30
t=90 minutes total played

Hope this helps!  :)

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

A certain company makes 12-volt car batteries. After many years of product testing, the company knows that the average life of a battery is normally distributed, with a mean of 50 months and a standard deviation of 9 months. If the company does not want to make refunds for more than 10% of its batteries under the full-refund guarantee policy, for how long should the company guarantee the batteries?

The company should guarantee the batteries for 38 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using standard normal table,

P(Z < z) = 10%

=(Z < z) = 0.10

= P(Z <- 1.28 ) = 0.10

z = -1.28

Using z-score formula  

x = zσ  + μ

x = -1.28 *9+50

x = 38

Therefore, the company should guarantee the batteries for 38 months.
