Since f(x) is continuous, so is h(x).

Also, since f (3) = 4 and f (5) = 2, we have

h (3) = f (3) + 2•3 = 4 + 6 = 10

h (5) = f (5) + 2•5 = 2 + 10 = 12

It follows from the intermediate value theorem that there is some t between 3 and 5 such that h(t) is between 10 and 12, and namely there is some t for which h(t) = 11.

What are the equivalent fractions for 2 1/5 and 1 5/6 using 30 as the common denominator

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

2 6/30 and 1 25/30

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to find 30÷5 and 30÷6. You do this because you need to know the multiplier when you create an equivalent fraction. 30÷5 is 6 and 30÷6 is 5. 2 1/5. You need to multiply the 1 and 5 by 6, that is 2 6/30. 1 5/6. 5 and 6 multiplied by 5 is 25 and 30. 1 5/6=1 25/30

A statistics professor plans classes so carefully that the lengths of her classes are uniformly distributed between 48.0 and 58.

Yanka [14]

Answer: 0.025

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A statistics professor plans classes so carefully that the lengths of her classes are uniformly distributed between the interval [48.0 minutes, 58.0 minutes].

The probability density function :-

$f(x)=\dfrac{1}{58-48}=\dfrac{1}{10}$

Now, the probability that a given class period runs between 50.25 and 50.5 minutes is given by :-

$\int^{50.5}_{50.25}\ f(x)\ dx\\\\=\int^{50.5}_{50.25}\ \dfrac{1}{10}\ dx\\\\=\dfrac{1}{10}|x|^{50.5}_{50.25}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{10}\ [50.5-50.25]=\dfrac{1}{10}\times(0.25)=0.025$
