Answer:

The light bulb will reach the ground 1.25 seconds after it is dropped.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that for an object that is in the air, the only force acting on it will be the gravitational force (where we are ignoring the air resistance)

Then the acceleration of the object is the gravitational acceleration, 32.17 ft/s^2

Then the acceleration of the light bulb is:

A(t) = (-32.17 ft/s^2)

Where the negative sign is because the acceleration is downwards.

Now, to get the velocity equation, we need to integrate the acceleration over time, we will get:

V(t) = (-32.17 ft/s^2)*t + V0

Where V0 is the initial velocity of the light bulb. Because it is dropped, the initial velocity will be zero, then V0 = 0m/s, then the velocity equation is:

V(t) =  (-32.17 ft/s^2)*t

Finally, to get the position equation we need to integrate again, we will get:

P(t) = (1/2)*(-32.17 ft/s^2)*t^2 + P0

Where P0 is the initial height of the object, and in this case, we know that it is equal to 25 ft.

Then the position equation is:

P(t) = (1/2)*(-32.17 ft/s^2)*t^2 + 25ft

The object will hit the ground when P(t) = 0 ft, then we need to solve that equation for t:

P(t) =  (1/2)*(-32.17 ft/s^2)*t^2 + 25ft = 0 ft

          25 ft =  (1/2)*(32.17 ft/s^2)*t^2

         2*25ft = (32.17 ft/s^2)*t^2

           50ft =  (32.17 ft/s^2)*t^2

         √( 50ft/(32.17 ft/s^2)) = t = 1.25 s

The light bulb will reach the ground 1.25 seconds after it is dropped.

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

95.44% probability the resulting sample proportion is within .04 of the true proportion.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For the sampling distribution of the sample proportion in sample of size n, the mean is \mu = p and the standard deviation is s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

In this question:

p = 0.2, n = 400

So

\mu = 0.2, s = \sqrt{\frac{0.2*0.8}{400}} = 0.02

How likely is the resulting sample proportion to be within .04 of the true proportion (i.e., between .16 and .24)?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 0.24 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.16.

X = 0.24

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{0.24 - 0.2}{0.02}

Z = 2

Z = 2 has a pvalue of 0.9772.

X = 0.16

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{0.16 - 0.2}{0.02}

Z = -2

Z = -2 has a pvalue of 0.0228.

0.9772 - 0.0228 = 0.9544

95.44% probability the resulting sample proportion is within .04 of the true proportion.

find the zeros of 2x^2 - 16x + 27 using the quadratic formula. be sure to simplify the expression. Can someone please show me ho
____ [38]
For a quadratic of the form f(x)=ax^2+bx+c, we have the quadratic formula 
x=\dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4ac}  }{2a},
where a is the coefficient (number before the variable) of the squared term, b is the coefficient of the linear term, and c is the constant term.

So, given 2x^2-16x+27=0, we can get that a=2, \ b=-16, and c=27. We substitute these numbers into the quadratic formula above.

x=\dfrac{-(-16) \pm \sqrt{(-16)^2 -4(2)(27)} }{2(2)}

x=\dfrac{16 \pm \sqrt{(256 -216)} }{4}

x=\dfrac{16 \pm \sqrt{40} }{4}

x=\dfrac{16 \pm 2\sqrt{10} }{4}

x=4+ \frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}, \ x=4- \frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}

This is our final answer.

If you've never seen the quadratic formula, you can derive it by completing the square for the general form of a quadratic. Note that the \pm symbol (read: plus or minus) represents the two possible distinct solutions, except for zero under the radical, which gives only one solution.

Can y’all help me with the question in the picture please? I don’t understand it and I’ve been stuck on it for a while
il63 [147K]

Answer:

The scale factor is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the vertical sides of the 2 triangles.

Their length is 3 and 6 so the scale factor is 6/3 = 2.

Also we see than the horizontal lines are in the same ratio 4 : 2  = 2:1.
