(urgent please help!!!!)in computing the mean of 8 numbers, a student mistakenly used 17 instead of 25 as one of the numbers and

obtained 20 as the mean. find the correct mean.

I believe the correct mean is 21!

Answer: 21

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's mean of the 8 numbers is 20; the total of the numbers will be

8 x 20 = 160

If we take out the 17 the total will be 160 - 17 = 143

If we then replace the 17 with 25 the total rises to 168.

168 divided by 8 = 21

A flat circular plate has the shape of the region x squared plus y squared less than or equals 1.The plate, including the bound

rjkz [21]

Answer:

We have the coldest value of temperature $T(\frac{3}{4},0) = -9/16$ . and the hottest value is $T(-(3/4),\frac{\sqrt{7}}{4})=\frac{5}{16}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to take the derivative with respect of x and y, and equal to zero to find the local minimums.

The temperature equation is:

$T(x,y)=x^{2}+2y^{2}-\frac{3}{2}x$

Let's take the partials derivatives.

$T_{x}(x,y)=2x-\frac{3}{2}=0$

$T_{y}(x,y)=4y=0$

So, we can find the critical point (x,y) of T(x,y).

$2x-\frac{3}{2}=0$

$x=\frac{3}{4}$

$4y=0$

$y=0$

The critical point is (3/4,0) so the temperature at this point is: $T(\frac{3}{4},0)=(\frac{3}{4})^{2}+2(0)^{2}-(\frac{3}{2})(\frac{3}{4})$

$T(\frac{3}{4},0)=-\frac{9}{16}$

Now, we need to evaluate the boundary condition.

$x^{2}+y^{2}=1$

We can solve this equation for y and evaluate this value in the temperature.

$y=\pm \sqrt{1-x^{2}}$

$T(x,\sqrt{1-x^{2}})=x^{2}+2(1-x^{2})-\frac{3}{2}x$

$T(x,\sqrt{1-x^{2}})=-x^{2}-\frac{3}{2}x+2$

Now, let's find the critical point again, as we did above.

$T_{x}(x,\sqrt{1-x^{2}})=-2x-\frac{3}{2}=0$

$x=-\frac{3}{4}$

Evaluating T(x,y) at this point, we have:

$T(-(3/4),\sqrt{1-(-3/4)^{2}})=-(-\frac{3}{4})^{2}-\frac{3}{2}(-\frac{3}{4})+2$

$T(-(3/4),\frac{\sqrt{7}}{4})=\frac{5}{16}$

Now, we can see that at point (3/4,0) we have the coldest value of temperature $T(\frac{3}{4},0) = -9/16$ . On the other hand, at the point $-(3/4),\frac{\sqrt{7}}{4})$ we have the hottest value of temperature, it is $T(-(3/4),\frac{\sqrt{7}}{4})=\frac{5}{16}$ .

I hope it helps you!

What is the domain for each function below? Choose the correct inequality symbol from the drop down menu and fill in the blank w

erik [133]

Answer:

$x \le 3$

$x \ge 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

The functions, missing from the question are:

$f(x) = \sqrt{3 - x$

$f(x) = \sqrt{3 x$

Required

Determine the domain

To get the domain, means we want to get the possible values of x.

(a)

$f(x) = \sqrt{3 - x$

Equate 3 - x to 0

$3 - x = 0$

Solve for x

$-x = -3$

$x = 3$

From the calculated value of x above;

When x exceeds 3; f(x) = undefined

So: the domain is:

$x \le 3$

(b)

$f(x) = \sqrt{3x$

Equate 3x to 0

$3x = 0$

Solve for x

$x = 0$

From the calculated value of x above;

When x falls below 0; f(x) = undefined

So: the domain is:

$x \ge 0$
