If x² + y² = 1, then y = ±√(1 - x²).

Let f(x) = |x| + |±√(1 - x²)| = |x| + √(1 - x²).

If x < 0, we have |x| = -x ; otherwise, if x ≥ 0, then |x| = x.

• Case 1: suppose x < 0. Then

f(x) = -x + √(1 - x²)

f'(x) = -1 - x/√(1 - x²) = 0 → x = -1/√2 → y = ±1/√2

• Case 2: suppose x ≥ 0. Then

f(x) = x + √(1 - x²)

f'(x) = 1 - x/√(1 - x²) = 0 → x = 1/√2 → y = ±1/√2

In either case, |x| = |y| = 1/√2, so the maximum value of their sum is 2/√2 = √2.

A 50 loot ladder is leaning against a building. If the base of the ladder is 35 feet from the base of the building, how far up t

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The ladder is 35.71 feet up the building

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate how far up the building is the ladder placed

We should picture a right angled triangle with hypotenuse 50 and one of the other sides as 35

To find the height in this case, we proceed to use Pythagoras’ theorem which states that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

In this case, let the height be

50^2 = 35^2 + h^2

h^2 = 50^2-35^2

h^2 = (50+35)(50-35)

h^2 = (85)(15)

h^2 = 1275

h = square root of 1275

h = 35.71 ft

Gina and Stewart are surf-fishing on the Atlantic coast, where both bluefish and pompano are

viktelen [127]

Using the normal distribution, it is found that due to the greater z-score, Stewart caught the longer fish relative to the same specie.

<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ is given by:

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

The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.

Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.

To find who caught the longer fish relative to the same specie, we need to find out who had the higher z-score.

Stewart caught a bluefish with a length of 322 mm, hence the parameters are as follows:

$X = 322, \mu = 267, \sigma = 39$

The z-score is:

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

$Z = \frac{322 - 267}{39}$

Z = 1.41

Gina caught a pompano with a length of 176 mm, hence the parameters are as follows:

$X = 176, \mu = 155, \sigma = 28$

The z-score is:

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

$Z = \frac{176 - 155}{28}$

Z = 0.75.

Hence Stewart caught the longer fish relative to the same specie.

Find the missing side. Round to the nearest tenth. For all 4 pics

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

1st pic) 17.8

2nd pic) 16.8

3rd pic) 9.1

4th pic) 13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1st pic: $cos = \frac{adjacent}{hypothenuse}$

(write equation) Cos 27 (cos 27 = 0.89) = $\frac{x}{20}$

(new equation) 0. 89 = $\frac{x}{20}$

(multiply 20 on both sides) 0.89 x 20 = $\frac{x}{20}$ x 20

(solve) 17.8 = x

2nd pic: $tan = \frac{adjacentx}{hypothenuse}$

(write equation) tan 40 (tan 40 = 0.84) = $\frac{32}{x}$

(new equation) 0.84 = $\frac{32}{x}$

(multiply 32 on both sides) 0.84 x 20 = $\frac{32}{x}$ x 20

(solve) 16.8 = x

3rd pic: $cos = \frac{adjacent}{hypothenuse}$

(write equation) cos 55 (cos 55 = 0.57) = $\frac{16}{x}$

(new equation) 0.57 = $\frac{16}{x}$

(multiply 16 on both sides) 0.57 x 16 = $\frac{16}{x}$ x 16

(solve) 9.1 = x

4th pic: $tan = \frac{adjacentx}{hypothenuse}$

(write eqaution) tan 42 (tan 42 = 0.90) = $\frac{x}{15}$

(new equation) 0.90 = $\frac{x}{15}$

(multiply 15 on both sides) 0.90 x 15 = $\frac{x}{15}$ x 15

(solve) 13.5 = x
