Answer:

This is a classical problem which has delighted calculus students down through the ages.

We first express the volume of the box as a function of x, the side of the square which is cut out of each corner.

The resulting box will have a base which is a square which all of whose sides will have length 12 - 2x. The height of the box will be x. Therefore, the volume will be

V = (12 - 2x)2x

= 144x - 48x2 + 4x3

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability experiment is conducted in which the sample space of the experiment is upper s equals startset 4 comma 5 comma 6 c
olchik [2.2K]
The correct question statement is:

A probability experiment is conducted in which the sample space of the experiment is S = {4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15}. Let event E={7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15}. Assume each outcome is equally likely. List the outcomes in E^{c}. Find P(E^{c}).

Solution:

Part 1:

E^{c} means compliment of the set E. A compliment of a set can be obtained by finding the difference of the set from the universal set. The universal set is the set which contains all the possible outcomes of the events which is S in this case.

So, compliment of E will be equal to S - E. S - E will result in all those elements of S which are not present in E. So, we can write:

E^{c}=S-E \\  \\ 
E^{c}=(4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15)-(7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15) \\  \\ 
E^{c}=(4,5,6)

Thus the set compliment of E will contain the elements {4,5,6}.So

E^{c} = {4,5,6}

Part 2)

P(E^{c}) means probability that if we select any number from the Sample Space S, it will belong the set E compliment.

P(E^{c}) = (Number of Elements in E^{c})/Number of elements in S

Number of elements in set S = n(S) = 12
Number of elements in set E^{c} = n(E^{c})=3

So, 

P(E^{c})= \frac{n(E^{c}) }{n(S)} \\  \\ 
P(E^{c})= \frac{3}{12} \\  \\ 
P(E^{c})= \frac{1}{4}

Carlos is using the quadratic formula to find the solutions of y=3x^2-5x-2. Which of the following will simplify to the correct
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Fx=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{25+24} }{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation in one variable given by the general expression:

ax^2+bx+c

Where:

a\neq 0

The roots of this equation can be found using the quadratic formula, which is given by:

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

So:

y(x)=3x^2-5x-2=0

As you can see, in this case:

a=3\\b=-5\\c=-2

Using the quadratic formula:

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}=\frac{-(-5)\pm\sqrt{(-5)^2-4(3)(-2)} }{2(3)}=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{25+24} }{6}

Therefore, the answer is:

Fx=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{25+24} }{6}

A neighbor farmer had some chickens. She had 24 feet of wire fencing to
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

A rectangle is defined by its length = L, and its width = W.

So the perimeter of the of the rectangle can be written as:

Perimeter = 2*L + 2*W.

In this case, we want to leave the perimeter fixed, so we have:

24ft = 2*L + 2*W.

Now, we do not have any other restrictions, so to know the different dimensions now we can write this as a function, by isolating one of the variables.

2*L = 24ft - 2*W

L = 12ft - W.

or:

L(W) = 12ft - W.

Such that:

W must be greater than zero (because we can not have negative or zero width).

And W must be smaller than 12ft (because in that case we would have zero or negative length)

Then the possible different dimensions are given by:

L(W) = 12ft - W

0ft < W < 12ft.
