Using the mean concept, it is found that we will need 15 more points to bring up his average up to 90%.

The mean of a data-set is the <u>sum of all observations divided by the number of observations</u>.

In this problem:

  • In the first 5 observations, total of 21 out of 25 points, hence the mean for these observations is \frac{21}{25} = 0.84.
  • In the next n observations, mean of 1.

Hence, the mean is:

M = \frac{0.84(5) + n}{5 + n} = \frac{4.2 + n}{5 + n}

We want the mean to be of 0.9, thus:

M = 0.9

\frac{4.2 + n}{5 + n} = 0.9

4.2 + n = 0.9n + 4.5

0.1n = 0.3

n = \frac{0.3}{0.1}

n = 3

3 more testes are need, each worth 5 points, hence, 15 more points are needed to bring up his average up to 90%.

The equation of motion for a weight suspended from a particular spring is given by p(t)=2sint3+5cost3p(t)=2sin⁡t3+5cos⁡t3, where
daser333 [38]
The given displacement at time, t, is
p(t) = 2 sin(t³) + 5 cos(t³)

The initial equilibrium position is
p(0) = 5

To determine future equilibrium postions, define
f(t) = p(t) - 5 = 2 sin(t³) + 5 cos(t³ - 5
The derivative of f(t) is
f'(t) = (3t²)[2 cos(t³) - 5sin(t³)]

Equilibrium is established when f(t) = 0.
To solve this equation numerically, we shall use the Newton-Raphson method, given by.
t(n+1) = t(n) - f[t(n)]/f'[(t(n)], n=0,1,2, ...,

As a guess, let (0) = 1.
The iterative solution for t is shown below.

  n         t(n)
 ---   -----------
   0   1.0000
   1    0.9344
   2   0.9147
   3   0.9130
   4   0.9130

The solution converges rapidly to t = 0.913 s.
The graphical solution (shown below) confirms the numerical solution.

Answer:
The weight first reaches the equilibrium position in 0.913 sec.

<h3>Answer:   Ellipse</h3>

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

Explanation:

Imagine that this plane was a saw blade, or a laser, that cut the cone. We would have two pieces and each piece would have a shape of an ellipse on them. The cutting plane would also have the same ellipse shape.

Or you think of the cutting plane as a flat piece of cloth. If we cut everything around the cone, then we would have an ellipse shaped hole as a result.

The reason why we get an ellipse and not a circle is because the plane is angled like that. It needs to be perfectly parallel to the circular base in order to get a circular cross section.
