Answer:
-4.5ft per sec
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume that vertical wall has a distance of y and the horizontal floor is x (6 ft).
This forms a triangle with the ladder as the hypothenus of length 10ft
We have dy/dt = 6ft per sec
According to Pythagoras law the relationship between x and y is
(x^2) + (y^2) = (hypothenus ^2) = 10^2
When we differentiate both sides of the equation
2x(dx/dt) + 2y(dy/dt) = 0
dy/dt = (x/y) * (dx/dt)
y= √(10^2) - (6^2) = 8ft
So dy/dt = (6/8)* (6/1)= -4.5 ft per sec
It is a negative rate
The value of y varies jointly with x and z. If y = 7 when z = 196 and x = 2, find the value of y when x = 3 and z = 336. I will rate you brainliest
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
y∞ xz
y=kxz. Where k is constant
When z=196 and x= 2 then y= 7
7=(196)(2)k
7=392k
k=1/56
There fore y=(1/56)xz
When x=3 and z =336
y=(1/56)xz
y=(1/56)(336)(3)
y=18
if value of y varies jointly with x and z. If y = 7 when z = 196 and x = 2 then the value of y when x = 3 and z = 336 is 18.
What is Ratio?A ratio is an ordered pair of numbers a and b, written a / b where b does not equal 0.
Value of y varies jointly with x and z.
y ∞ xz
y=kxz.
Where k is constant
When z=196 and x= 2 then y= 7
Let us find the value of k
7=(196)(2)k
7=392k
Divide both sides by 7
k=1/56
y=(1/56)xz
When x=3 and z =336
y=(1/56)xz
y=(1/56)(336)(3)
y=18
Hence, the value of y when x = 3 and z = 336 is 18.

Can I have help with 43 and 44 I need to see how to do them thanks.
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
(43)
3[tex]x^{5}[/tex] - 75x³ ← factor out 3x³ from each term
= 3x³(x² - 25) ← this is a difference of squares and factors in general as
a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b) , thus
x² - 25 = x² - 5² = (x - 5)(x + 5)
Thus
3[tex]x^{5}[/tex] - 75x³ = 3x³(x - 5)(x + 5)
(44)
81c² + 72c + 16 ← is a perfect square of the form
(ac + b)² = a²c² + 2abc + b²
Compare coefficients of like terms
a² = 81 ⇒ a = [tex]\sqrt{81}[/tex] = 9
b² = 16 ⇒ b = [tex]\sqrt{16}[/tex] = 4
and 2ab = 2 × 9 × 4 = 72
Thus
81c² + 72c + 16 = (9c + 4)²
1. 3x^5 -75x³
=3x³(x²-25)
=3x³(x²-5²)
=3x³(x-5)(x+5)
2. 81c²+72c+16
=81c²+36c+36c+16
=9c(9c+4)+4(9c+4)
=(9c+4)(9c+4)
=(9c+4)²

Techwiz electronics makes a profit of $35 for each mp3 and $18 for each DVD last week techwiz sold a combined total of 118 mp3 and DVD players. Let x be the number of mp3 sold last week write an expression for the combined total profit (in dollars) made last week
Answer:
The total profit is [tex]p = 17x + 2124[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The profit made on each mp3 is k = $35
The profit made on each mp3 is y = $18
The total amount sold is n = 118
Now given that the amount of mp3 sold is x then the amount of DVD sold is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]n - x[/tex]
Now the profit made on the x number of mp3 sold is
[tex]x * 35 = 3x[/tex]
And the the profit made from the n-x number of DVD sold is 18 (n-x ) = 18 - 18x
So the total profit made last week from the sales of both mp3 and DVD is
[tex]p = 35x + 18n - 18x[/tex]
[tex]p = 17x + 18(118)[/tex]
[tex]p = 17x + 2124[/tex]

A museum curator is hanging 7 paintings in a row for an exhibit. There are 4 Renaissance paintings and 3 Baroque paintings. From left to right, all of the Renaissance paintings will be hung first, followed by all of the Baroque paintings. How many ways are there to hang the paintings
Answer:
144 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of paintings = 7
Renaissance = 4
Baroque = 3
We are hanging from left to right and we will first hang Renaissance painting before baroque painting.
For Renaissance we have 4! Ways of doing so. 4 x3x2x1 = 24
For baroque we have 3! Ways of doing so. 3x2x1 = 6
We have 4!ways x 3!ways
= (4x3x2x1) * (3x2x1) ways
= 144 ways
Therefore we have 144 ways to hang the painting.

The size of the left upper chamber of the heart is one measure of cardiovascular health. When the upper left chamber is enlarged, the risk of heart problems is increased. A paper described a study in which the left atrial size was measured for a large number of children ages 5 to 15 years. Based on this data, the authors conclude that for healthy children, left atrial diameter was approximately normally distributed with a mean of 26.5 mm and a standard deviation of 4.8 mm.
Required:
a. Approximately what proportion of healthy children has left atrial diameters less than 24 mm?
b. Approximately what proportion of healthy children has left atrial diameters greater than 32 mm?
c. Approximately what proportion of healthy children has left atrial diameters between 25 and 30 mm?
d. For healthy children, what is the value for which only about 20% have a larger left atrial diameter?
Answer:
a) P [ X < 24 mm ] = 0,3015 or P [ X < 24 mm ] = 30,15 %
b) P [ X > 32 mm ] = 0,1251 or P [ X > 32 mm ] = 12,51 %
c) P [ 25 < X < 30 ] = 0,4964 or P [ 25 < X < 30 ] = 49,64 %
d) z(s) = 0,84
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal Distribution N ( μ₀ ; σ ) is N ( 26,5 ; 4,8 )
a) P [ X < 24 mm ] = ( X - μ₀ ) / σ
P [ X < 24 mm ] = (24 - 26,5)/ 4,8 = - 0,5208 ≈ - 0,52
P [ X < 24 mm ] = - 0,52
And from z-table we find area for z score
P [ X < 24 mm ] = 0,3015 or P [ X < 24 mm ] = 30,15 %
b)P [ X > 32 mm ] = 1 - P [ X < 32 mm ]
P [ X < 32 mm ] = ( 32 - 26,5 ) / 4,8
P [ X < 32 mm ] = 5,5/4,8 = 1,1458 ≈ 1,15
P [ X < 32 mm ] = 1,15
And from z-table we get
P [ X < 32 mm ] = 0,8749
Then:
P [ X > 32 mm ] = 1 - 0,8749
P [ X > 32 mm ] = 0,1251 or P [ X > 32 mm ] = 12,51 %
c) P [ 25 < X < 30 ] = P [ X < 30 ] - P [ X < 25 ]
P [ X < 30 ] = 30 - 26,5 / 4,8 = 0,73
From z-table P [ X < 30 ] = 0,7673
P [ X < 25 ] = 25 - 26,5 / 4,8 = - 0,3125 ≈ - 0,31
From z-table P [ X < 25 ] = 0,2709
Then
P [ 25 < X < 30 ] = 0,7673 - 0,2709
P [ 25 < X < 30 ] = 0,4964 or P [ 25 < X < 30 ] = 49,64 %
d) If 20 %
z- score for 20% is from z-table
z(s) = 0,84
is this a function {(-2, 6), (-3, 7), (-4, 8), (-3, 10)}
No, that is not a function.
To be a function, each different input (x) needs a different output (y)
In the given function there are two -3’s as inputs and they have different y values, so it can’t be a function.
Answer: no
Step-by-step explanation: To determine if a relation is a function, take a look at the x–coordinate of each ordered pair. If the x–coordinate is different in each ordered pair, then the relation is a function.
Note that the only exception to this would be that if the x-coordinate pairs up with the same y-coordinate in a relation more than once, it's still classified ad a function.
Ask yourself, do any of the ordered pairs
in this relation have the same x-coordinate?
Well by looking at this relation, we can see that two
of the ordered pairs have the same x-coordinate.
In this case, the x-coordinate of 3 appears twice.
So no, this relation is not a function.
Compute the flux of the vector field LaTeX: \vec{F}=F → =< y + z , x + z , x + y > though the unit cubed centered at origin.
Assuming the cube is closed, you can use the divergence theorem:
[tex]\displaystyle\iint_S\vec F\cdot\mathrm dS=\iiint_T\mathrm{div}\vec F\,\mathrm dV[/tex]
where [tex]S[/tex] is the surface of the cube and [tex]T[/tex] is the region bounded by [tex]S[/tex].
We have
[tex]\mathrm{div}\vec F=\dfrac{\partial(y+z)}{\partial x}+\dfrac{\partial(x+z)}{\partial y}+\dfrac{\partial(x+y)}{\partial z}=0[/tex]
so the flux is 0.
What is the solution to 5x - 15 = 5(-4x - 3) ? Group of answer choices -12 6 0 -16
Answer:
x = 0Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 15 = 5(-4x - 3)
Multiply the terms in the bracket
5x - 15 = - 20x - 15
Group like terms
Send the constants to the right side of the line and those with variables to the left side
That's
5x + 20x = - 15 + 15
Simplify
25x = 0
Divide both sides by 25
We have the final answer as
x = 0Hope this helps you
Answer:
x=0
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 15 = 5(-4x - 3)
To find the solution to this equation, we have to get x by itself on one side of the equation.
First, distribute the 5 on the right side. Multiply each term by 5.
5x - 15= (5*-4x) + (5*-3)
5x-15 = -20x + (5*-3)
5x-15= -20x -15
Next, add 20x to both sides of the equation.
(5x+20x) -15 = (-20x+20x) -15
(5+20x) -15 = -15
25x -15=-15
Next, add 15 to both sides of the equation.
25x -15 +15 = -15+15
25x= -15+15
25x=0
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 25.
25x/25=0/25
x= 0/25
x= 0
The solution to this equation is x=0

Find all values of x on the graph of f(x) = 2x3 + 6x2 + 7 at which there is a horizontal tangent line.
Answer:
the equation is not correct, u have to write like
ax'3+bx'2+cx+d
Answer:
x=-2 and x=0
Step-by-step explanation:
So I know it isn't x=-3 and x=0. So my guess is that it is x=0 and x=-2 and heres why.
First, I find the derivative of f(x)=2x^3+6x^2+7 which is 6x^2+12x
Then, I plugged in all the values of x's I had and I found out that you get 0 for -2 and 0 when you plug them in
So, in conclusion I believe the answer to be x=-2 and x=0
A sports club was formed in the month of May last year. The function below, M(t), models the number of club members for the first 10 months, where t represents the number of months since the club was formed in May. m(t)=t^2-6t+28 What was the minimum number of members during the first 10 months the club was open? A. 19 B. 28 C. 25 D. 30
Answer:
A: 19
Step-by-step explanation:
For this, we can complete the square. We first look at the first 2 terms,
t^2 and -6t.
We know that [tex](t-3)^2[/tex] will include terms.
[tex](t-3)^2 = t^2 - 6t + 9[/tex]
But [tex](t-3)^2[/tex] will also add 9, so we can subtract 9. Putting this into the equation, we get:
[tex]m(t) = (t-3)^2 - 9 +28[/tex]
[tex]m(t) = (t-3)^2 +19[/tex]
Using the trivial inequality, which states that a square of a real number must be positive, we can say that in order to have the minimum number of members, we need to make (t-3) = 0. Luckily, 3 months is in our domain, which means that the minimum amount of members is 19.
One number is twice another. The sum of their reciprocals is 3/2 . Find the numbers.
Answer:
The two numbers are 1 and 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two numbers be a and b.
One number is twice another, so let's let b=2a.
Their reciprocals are 3/2. Thus:
[tex]\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b} =\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
Substitute and solve for a:
[tex]\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{2a} =\frac{3}{2}\\[/tex]
Combine the fractions by forming a common denominator by multiplying the left term by 2:
[tex]\frac{2}{2a} +\frac{1}{2a}=\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
Combine and cross-multiply:
[tex]3/2a=3/2\\6a=6\\a=1\\b=2(1)=2[/tex]
Thus, the two numbers are 1 and 2.

The larger metallic object is initially at rest, so the velocity is 0 when t = 0. The speed changes after t = 3 seconds.
Answer:
It would be the last one.
Step-by-step explanation:
It says the object is initially at rest, so you look for a table with 0 m/s and you find the last table had been at rest for 0 -2 seconds. The small rocky object initially had a speed of 90 m/s and then decreased to 36 m/s as its energy transferred to the metallic object. The metallic object's speed from time 4-6s with the small rocky object equals the small rocky initial speed.
Rocky Object initial speed = 90 m/s
Rocky Object new speed = 36 m/s
Large metallic object speed after collision = 64 m/s.
64 m/s + 36 m/s = 90 m/s
Large metallic object speed after collision + Rocky Object new speed
= Rocky Object initial speed
You can also test this for kinetic energy.
You meet with the financial aid office to discuss your costs for attending LSU next semester.Tuition is $113.67 per credit hour, and fees are a flat rate of $660. You have a grant of $350 and a scholarship of $400. If you are taking 15 credit hours what amount will you need go pay for your classes next semester?
Show you work
Answer:
$1615.05Step-by-step explanation:
Scholarship and grants are money given to the candidates to support his financial needs in school. It will serves as the means of revenue for the student.
Revenue generated = Grant + Scholarship amount
Revenue generated = $350 + $400
Revenue generated= $750
Total money needed to be spent in school = Tuition + fees
If tuition is $113.67 per credit hour and I used 15 credit hours, total amount of tuition paid = 15* $113.67 = $1705.05
Total fees = $660
Total money needed to be spent in school = $1705.05 + $660
Total money needed to be spent in school = $2365.05
Amount I will need to pay for classes next semester = Total money that will be spent - (grant+scholarship)
= $2365.05 - $750
= $1615.05
Hence, the amount I will need to pay for classes next semester is $1615.05
a department store regularly sells a pair of pants for $49.95. they are having a sale where clothing 30% off.
after including an 8% sales tax, how much do the pants cost on sale?
A. $30.97
B. $38.96
C. $37.76

Answer:
C. $37.76
Step-by-step explanation:
30% of $49.95
=30/100×49.95
=$14.99
selling price = 49.95 -14.99
= $34.96
8% sales tax included
=8/100×34.96
=$2.80
new price= 34.96+2.80
=$37.76
The mean number of rushing yards for one NFL team was less than 99 yards per game. If a hypothesis test is performed, how should you interpret a decision that rejects the null hypothesis?
Question options :
A. There is sufficient evidence to reject the claim
u < 99.
B. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim
u < 99.
C. There is not sufficient evidence to reject the claim
u < 99.
D. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim
u< 99.
Answer:
B. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim
u < 99.
Step-by-step explanation:
We construct the n*ll and alternative hypotheses to support our claim
The n*ll hypothesis :H0
The alternative hypothesis : Ha
N*ll hypothesis =H0: u=99
Alternative hypothesis =Ha: u<99
So if n*ll hypothesis (H0) u=99 is rejected, then we accept the alternative hypothesis that u<99
we can therefore have sufficient evidence to support our claim that u<99

A chemical company makes two brands
of antifreeze. The first brand is 30% pure
antifreeze, and the second brand i$ 80% pure
antifreeze. In order to obtain 80 gallons of a
mixture that contains 70o£ pure antifreeze, hov
mabry gallons of each band ot antifneze must
bo used?
Answer:
16 bags for the first(30% pure) and 64 bags of the second(80% pure)
Step-by-step explanation:
If they are mixed in a ratio of x bags to y bags
(0.3x+0.8y)/(x+y) = 0.7
0.3x + 0.8y = 0.7(x+y)
Multiply both sides with 10
3x + 8y = 7(x+y)
4x = y ——(1)
x + y = 80 ——(2)
Solve simultaneously
x + 4x = 80
5x = 80
x = 16 bags
y = 4x = 64 bags
A machine that produces ball bearings has initially been set so that the true average diameter of the bearings it produces is 0.500 in. A bearing is acceptable if its diameter is within 0.004 in. of this target value. Suppose, however, that the setting has changed during the course of production, so that the bearings have normally distributed diameters with a mean 0.499 in. and standard deviation 0.002 in. What percentage of bearings will now not be acceptable
Answer:
the percentage of bearings that will not be acceptable = 7.3%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Mean = 0.499
standard deviation = 0.002
if the true average diameter of the bearings it produces is 0.500 in and bearing is acceptable if its diameter is within 0.004 in.
Then the ball bearing acceptable range = (0.500 - 0.004, 0.500 + 0.004 )
= ( 0.496 , 0.504)
If x represents the diameter of the bearing , then the probability for the z value for the random variable x with a mean and standard deviation can be computed as follows:
[tex]P(0.496\leq X \leq 0.504) = (\dfrac{0.496 - \mu}{\sigma} \leq \dfrac{X -\mu}{\sigma} \leq \dfrac{0.504 - \mu}{\sigma})[/tex]
[tex]P(0.496\leq X \leq 0.504) = (\dfrac{0.496 - 0.499}{0.002} \leq \dfrac{X -0.499}{0.002} \leq \dfrac{0.504 - 0.499}{0.002})[/tex]
[tex]P(0.496\leq X \leq 0.504) = (\dfrac{-0.003}{0.002} \leq Z \leq \dfrac{0.005}{0.002})[/tex]
[tex]P(0.496\leq X \leq 0.504) = (-1.5 \leq Z \leq 2.5)[/tex]
[tex]P(0.496\leq X \leq 0.504) = P (-1.5 \leq Z \leq 2.5)[/tex]
[tex]P(0.496\leq X \leq 0.504) = P(Z \leq 2.5) - P(Z \leq -1.5)[/tex]
From the standard normal tables
[tex]P(0.496\leq X \leq 0.504) = 0.9938-0.0668[/tex]
[tex]P(0.496\leq X \leq 0.504) = 0.927[/tex]
By applying the concept of probability of a complement , the percentage of bearings will now not be acceptable
P(not be acceptable) = 1 - P(acceptable)
P(not be acceptable) = 1 - 0.927
P(not be acceptable) = 0.073
Thus, the percentage of bearings that will not be acceptable = 7.3%

The mean weight of newborn infants at a community hospital is 6.6 pounds. A sample of seven infants is randomly selected and their weights at birth are recorded as 9.0, 7.3, 6.0, 8.8, 6.8, 8.4, and 6.6 pounds. Does the sample data show a significant increase in the average birthrate at a 5% level of significance?
A. Fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the mean is 6.6 lb.
B. Reject the null hypothesis and conclude the mean is lower than 6.6 lb.
C. Reject the null hypothesis and conclude the mean is greater than 6.6 lb.
D. Cannot calculate because the population standard deviation is unknown
Answer:
The correct option is A
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population is [tex]\mu = 6.6[/tex]
The level of significance is [tex]\alpha = 5\% = 0.05[/tex]
The sample data is 9.0, 7.3, 6.0, 8.8, 6.8, 8.4, and 6.6 pounds
The Null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : \mu = 6.6[/tex]
The Alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_a : \mu > 6.6[/tex]
The critical value of the level of significance obtained from the normal distribution table is
[tex]Z_{\alpha } = Z_{0.05 } = 1.645[/tex]
Generally the sample mean is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]\=x = \frac{\sum x_i }{n}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\=x = \frac{9.0 + 7.3 + 6.0+ 8.8+ 6.8+ 8.4+6.6 }{7}[/tex]
[tex]\=x = 7.5571[/tex]
The standard deviation is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum [ x - \= x ]}{n} }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{ [ 9.0-7.5571]^2 + [7.3 -7.5571]^2 + [6.0-7.5571]^2 + [8.8- 7.5571]^2 + [6.8- 7.5571]^2 + [8.4 - 7.5571]^2+ [6.6- 7.5571]^2 }{7} }[/tex][tex]\sigma = 1.1774[/tex]
Generally the test statistic is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]t = \frac{\= x - \mu } { \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]t = \frac{7.5571 - 6.6 } { \frac{1.1774 }{\sqrt{7} } }[/tex]
[tex]t = 1.4274[/tex]
Looking at the value of t and [tex]Z_{\alpha }[/tex] we see that [tex]t < Z_{\alpha }[/tex] hence we fail to reject the null hypothesis
What this implies is that there is no sufficient evidence to state that the sample data show as significant increase in the average birth rate
The conclusion is that the mean is [tex]\mu = 6.6 \ lb[/tex]
