Answer:

Mean weight = 19 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

17, 11, 21, 24, 22

Number of data (n) = 5

Mean weight =?

The mean of a set of data is the value obtained by adding all the data together and dividing the result obtained by the total number of data. Thus, the mean can be obtained as follow:

Summation of data = 17+ 11 + 21 + 24 + 22

= 95

Number of data = 5

Mean = Summation of data / Number of data

Mean = 95 / 5

Mean weight = 19 pounds

Therefore, the mean weight of the data is 19 pounds

You would is this case use the perfect square rule. So your would squareroot 9r^2 and 25 to get 3r+5 then you would square this equation to get (3r+5)^2

The Ratio of boys to girls at a middle school is 3:2. If the school has 400 people how many will be boys?

Mekhanik [1.2K]

You have to divide 400 by 5. That will equal 80. Since the ratio is 3:2 Just multiply 3 by 80 then 2 by 80! :-)

You can check it by simplifying it again.

3. The curve C with equation y=f(x) is such that, dy/dx = 3x^2 + 4x +k

Andreas93 [3]

a. Given that y = f(x) and f(0) = -2, by the fundamental theorem of calculus we have

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = 3x^2 + 4x + k \implies y = f(0) + \int_0^x (3t^2+4t+k) \, dt$

Evaluate the integral to solve for y :

$\displaystyle y = -2 + \int_0^x (3t^2+4t+k) \, dt$

$\displaystyle y = -2 + (t^3+2t^2+kt)\bigg|_0^x$

$\displaystyle y = x^3+2x^2+kx - 2$

Use the other known value, f(2) = 18, to solve for k :

$18 = 2^3 + 2\times2^2+2k - 2 \implies \boxed{k = 2}$

Then the curve C has equation

$\boxed{y = x^3 + 2x^2 + 2x - 2}$

b. Any tangent to the curve C at a point (a, f(a)) has slope equal to the derivative of y at that point:

$\dfrac{dy}{dx}\bigg|_{x=a} = 3a^2 + 4a + 2$

The slope of the given tangent line $y=x-2$ is 1. Solve for a :

$3a^2 + 4a + 2 = 1 \implies 3a^2 + 4a + 1 = (3a+1)(a+1)=0 \implies a = -\dfrac13 \text{ or }a = -1$

so we know there exists a tangent to C with slope 1. When x = -1/3, we have y = f(-1/3) = -67/27; when x = -1, we have y = f(-1) = -3. This means the tangent line must meet C at either (-1/3, -67/27) or (-1, -3).

Decide which of these points is correct:

$x - 2 = x^3 + 2x^2 + 2x - 2 \implies x^3 + 2x^2 + x = x(x+1)^2=0 \implies x=0 \text{ or } x = -1$

So, the point of contact between the tangent line and C is (-1, -3).
