Estimate the area under the curve f(x) = x2 + 1 from x = 0 to x = 6 by using three circumscribed (over the curve) rectangles. An

BaLLatris [955]

1) split the range in three identical invervals of size [6 - 0] / 3 = 2

2) form three rectangles

2a) First rectangle: base 2, height f(2) = 2^2 + 1 = 5

   area 1 = base * height = 2 * 5 = 10

2b) second rectangle: base 2, height f(2+2) = 4^2 + 1 = 17

   area 2 = 2 * 17 = 34

2c) third rectangle: base 2 height f(4+2) = 6^2 + 1 = 37

   area 3 = 2*37 = 74

3) total area = area 1 + area 2 + area 3 = 10 + 34 + 74 = 118

2. Flying to Kampala with a tailwind a plane averaged 158 km/h . On the return trip the plane only averaged 112 km/h while flyin

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Speed of plane in still air = 135 km/h

Speed of wind = 23 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Speed of plane with the wind = 158km/h

Speed of plane against the wind = 112km/h

Let,

x be the speed of plane

y be the speed of wind

According to given statement;

x+y = 158 Eqn 1

x-y = 112 Eqn 2

Adding Eqn 1 and 2

$x+y+x-y=158+112\\2x = 170\\\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{270}{2}\\x=135$

Putting x = 135 in Eqn 1

135+y = 158

y = 158-135

y = 23

Hence,

Speed of plane in still air = 135 km/h

Speed of wind = 23 km/h

Anita's, a fast-food chain specializing in hot dogs and garlic fries, keeps track of the proportion of its customers who decide

damaskus [11]

Answer:

0.2700

Step-by-step explanation:

-Notice that this is a binomial distribution with p=0.52, n=4 and x=3.

-The formula for the binomial probabilities is given as:

$P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

The probability than in 4, exactly 3 order their food on the go is:

$P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^x(1-p)^{n-x}\\\\P(X=3)={4\choose3}0.52^3(1-0.52)^1\\\\=0.2700$

Hence, the probability that exactly 3 order their food on the go is 0.2700
