Find two numbers whose difference is 176 and whose product is a minimum.

Mathematics

Let the two required numbers be x and y, then x - y = 176, thus y = x - 176.

Let the product of the two numbers be represented by

P = xy x(x - 176) = x^2 - 176x

For the product to be minimum, \frac{dP}{dx} =0

\frac{dP}{dx} =2x - 176=0 \\  \\ \Rightarrow2x=176 \\  \\ \Rightarrow x=88

Thus, y = 88 - 176 = -88

Therefore, the two numbers are 88 and -88.

Angles A and B are complementary. What is the value of x? 34 56 68 79
Lelu [443]

Answer: x = 34°


Explanation:


As per definition, complementary angles add up 90°.


In the figure you see angle A measures x + 22° and angle B measures x.


Therefore, according to the definition, you can set this equation:

       

             x + 22° + x = 90°


Solve for x:


  • start: x + 22 + x = 90
  • combine like terms: 2x + 22 = 90
  • subraction property: 2x = 90 - 22
  • do the operation: 2x = 68
  • division propery: x = 68/2
  • do the operation: x = 34

Answer: x = 34°

As a store manger you would like to find out the average time it takes to unload the truck which delivers the merchandise for yo
Georgia [21]

Answer:

The upper boundary of the 95% confidence interval for the average unload time is 264.97 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, but not for the population, so we use the students t-distribution to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 35 - 1 = 35

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 34 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.975([tex]t_{975}). So we have T = 2.0322

The margin of error is:

M = T*s = 2.0322*30 = 60.97

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 204 + 60.97 = 264.97

The upper boundary of the 95% confidence interval for the average unload time is 264.97 minutes

Can someone help me with this? 20 points
lawyer [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle ABC is a 45-45-90 right triangle. That means that segment BC also measures 10.

The big triangle as a whole is a 30-60-90. The side length across from the 30 degree angle is 10, so the whole length of BD is 10√3. However, since we already have the length of BC as 10, then segment CD measures

10√3 -10 which is 7.32
