Answer:

8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first find how many inches the candle would have burned in 1 hour.

6 in:12 hours

x: 1 hour

We can divide 12 by 12 to get 1. This means we need to divide 6 by 12 to get x

x=1/2 inches

1/2 inches:1 hour

4 inches: x hours

We divide 4 by 1/2 to get 8. 1/2*8=4. This means...

x=1 hour*8=8 hours

lord [1]

Answer:

a) 17.5

b) 15.6

c) 13.3

d) 21.51

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is equal to:

f(x)=kx^2

where

$\int\limits^y_0 {kx^{2} } \, =1$

where y=23

Clearing k=0.00025

a) $Ex=\int\limits^y_0 {xf(x)} \, dx =\int\limits^y_0 {x*0.00025x^{2} } \, dx =17.5$

b) $Vx=Ex^{2} -(Ex)^{2} =\int\limits^y_0 {x^{2}f(x) } \, dx-17.5^{2} =\int\limits^y_0 {x^{2} *0.00025x^{2} } \, dx -17.5^{2} =321.82-306.25=15.6$

c) The function is equal to:

f(x)=k(1+2x)

$\int\limits^y_0 {k(1+2x)} \, =1$

where y=20

k=0.0024

$Ex=\int\limits^y_0 {xf(x)} \, dx =\int\limits^y_0 {x*0.0024(1+2x)} \, dx =13.3$

d) $Vx=Ex^{2} -(Ex)^{2} =\int\limits^y_0 {x^{2} f(x)} \, dx -13.3^{2}=\int\limits^y_0 {x^{2} *0.0024(1+2x)} \, dx-13.3^{2} =198.4-176.89=21.51$
