Part (a)

Answer: ad = bc

-------------------------

Explanation:

In the equation a/b = c/d, we have b and d in the denominator.

If we multiply both sides by bd, then the denominators will cancel. The expression bd is the same as bd/1.

As a similar example, consider the equation

a/b = 12

if we multiply both sides by b, then we clear out the denominator to end up with a = 12b

As another example, let's consider

a/b = c

Multiplying both sides by b leads to

a = bc

The same idea applies with the denominator d as well.

When going from a/b = c/d to ad = bc, your textbook may refer to this process as "cross multiplication".

=================================================

Part (b)

Answer: bd is the product of the denominators

-------------------------

Explanation:

Often in math, writing two variables next to each other represents multiplication.

bd is the same as b*d which means "b times d". The term "product" is the result of multiplying two or more values.

b and d are both in the denominator of each fraction, so bd represents the product of the denominators.

The average production cost for major movies is 57 million dollars and the standard deviation is 22 million dollars. Assume the

Degger [83]

Using the normal distribution, we have that:

The distribution of X is $X \approx (57,22)$ .

The distribution of $\mathbf{\bar{X}}$ is $\bar{X} \approx (57, 5.3358)$ .

0.0597 = 5.97% probability that a single movie production cost is between 55 and 58 million dollars.

0.2233 = 22.33% probability that the average production cost of 17 movies is between 55 and 58 million dollars. Since the sample size is less than 30, assumption of normality is necessary.

<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.

By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of sample means of size n has standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

In this problem, the parameters are given as follows:

$\mu = 57, \sigma = 22, n = 17, s = \frac{22}{\sqrt{17}} = 5.3358$

Hence:

The distribution of X is $X \approx (57,22)$ .

The distribution of $\mathbf{\bar{X}}$ is $\bar{X} \approx (57, 5.3358)$ .

The probabilities are the <u>p-value of Z when X = 58 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 55</u>, hence, for a single movie:

X = 58:

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

$Z = \frac{58 - 57}{22}$

Z = 0.05.

Z = 0.05 has a p-value of 0.5199.

X = 55:

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

$Z = \frac{55 - 57}{22}$

Z = -0.1.

Z = -0.1 has a p-value of 0.4602.

0.5199 - 0.4602 = 0.0597 = 5.97% probability that a single movie production cost is between 55 and 58 million dollars.

For the sample of 17 movies, we have that:

X = 58:

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

$Z = \frac{58 - 57}{5.3358}$

Z = 0.19.

Z = 0.19 has a p-value of 0.5753.

X = 55:

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

$Z = \frac{55 - 57}{5.3358}$

Z = -0.38.

Z = -0.38 has a p-value of 0.3520.

0.5753 - 0.3520 = 0.2233 = 22.33% probability that the average production cost of 17 movies is between 55 and 58 million dollars. Since the sample size is less than 30, assumption of normality is necessary.

A football is thrown from the top of the stands, 50 feet above the ground at an initial velocity of 62 ft/sec and at an angle of

Anvisha [2.4K]

a. i. The parametric equation for the horizontal movement is x = 43.84t

ii. The parametric equation for the vertical movement is y = 50 + 43.84t

b. the location of the football at its maximum height relative to the starting point is (60.1 ft, 60.1 ft)

<h2>a. Parametric equations</h2>

A parametric equation is an equation that defines a set of quantities a functions of one or more independent variables called parameters.

<h3>i. Parametric equation for the horizontal movement</h3>

The parametric equation for the horizontal movement is x = 43.84t

Since

the angle of elevation is Ф = 45° and
the initial velocity, v = 62 ft/s,

the horizontal component of the velocity is v' = vcosФ.

So, the horizontal distance the football moves in time, t is x = vcosФt

= vtcosФ

= 62tcos45°

= 62t × 0.7071

= 43.84t

So, the parametric equation for the horizontal movement is x = 43.84t

<h3>ii Parametric equation for the vertical movement</h3>

The parametric equation for the vertical movement is y = 50 + 43.84t

Also, since

the angle of elevation is Ф = 45° and
the initial velocity, v = 62 ft/s,

the vertical component of the velocity is v" = vsinФ.

Since the football is initially at a height of h = 50 feet, the vertical distance the football moves in time, t relative to the ground is y = 50 + vsinФt

= 50 + vtcosФ

= 50 + 62tsin45°

= 50 + 62t × 0.7071

= 50 + 43.84t

<h3>b. Location of football at maximum height relative to starting point</h3>

The location of the football at its maximum height relative to the starting point is (60.1 ft, 60.1 ft)

Since the football reaches maximum height at t = 1.37 s

The x coordinate of its location at maximum height is gotten by substituting t = 1.37 into x = 48.84t

So, x = 43.84t

x = 43.84 × 1.37

x = 60.0608

x ≅ 60.1 ft

The y coordinate of the football's location at maximum height relative to the ground is y = 50 + 48.84t

The y coordinate of the football's location at maximum height relative to the starting point is y - 50 = 48.84t

So, y - 50 = 48.84t

y - 50 = 43.84 × 1.37

y - 50 = 60.0608

y - 50 ≅ 60.1 ft

So, the location of the football at its maximum height relative to the starting point is (60.1 ft, 60.1 ft)
