Answer:
a) True
b) True
c) False
d) True
Step-by-step explanation:
A discrete variable is the one where the values taken by it are possible to count (usually the values are natural numbers)
On the other side, a continuous variable is the one that has an uncountable number of values. (usually the values are real numbers)
Considering these definitions we get:
a)The batting average of Joe’s favorite player is a continuous variable: True, this average can take any number among the real numbers.
b) The number of hot dogs that Joe bought is a discrete variable: True, Joe can only buy 1, 2, 3, 4... hot dogs, this set is countable and therefore is a discrete variable.
c) The number of strikeouts in the game is a continuous variable: False, the strikeouts are natural numbers (1, 2, 3, 4...) and therefore are countable and they are a discrete variable.
d) The Quakes standings in the league is a discrete variable: True. The standing of a team in a league is a discrete variable since it can be 1st place, 2nd place... and therefore it's countable.
24.5 you take 3.5 and times it by 7 do get the distance.
What you don't want is the value of r(t) becoming negative. Surely that would represent water escaping the reservoir.
How big can (t) get before water actually starts escaping the reservoir?
Essentially, to figure this out r(t) would have to be equal to 0.
700 - 40t = 0
40t=700
t=700/40=17.5
So the first answer is 17.5 seconds. After this amount of time has elapsed the reservoir will start to lose water as r(t) would become negative.
---------------
The reservoir had the least amount of water in it before it was being filled. That was when t=0. The volume of water in the reservoir wasn't negatively impacted as not enough water had escaped it during the 17.5 to 30 second period.
Answer:
'∂' -- means a partial differential
'Δ' -- means a change in some variable.
'σ' --means 'sum' and 'deviation'.
The text says something about the world turning so maybe the equation has something to do with that? Maybe it is the equation for the earth's rotation. Sorry I can't find anything else, but I hope this helps a bit!
