A street light is mounted at the top of a 15-ft-tall pole. A man 6 feet tall walks away from the pole with a speed of 5 ft/s along a straight path. How fast (in ft/s) is the tip of his shadow moving when he is 45 feet from the pole
Answers
Answer:
25/3 ft/s
Step-by-step explanation:
Height of pole , h=15 ft
Height of man, h'=6 ft
Let BD=x
BE=y
DE=BE-BD=y-x
All right triangles are similar
When two triangles are similar then the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal.
Therefore,
[tex]\frac{AB}{CD}=\frac{BE}{DE}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{15}{6}=\frac{y}{y-x}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5}{2}=\frac{y}{y-x}[/tex]
[tex]5y-5x=2y[/tex]
[tex]5y-2y=5x[/tex]
[tex]3y=5x[/tex]
[tex]y=\frac{5}{3}x[/tex]
Differentiate w.r.t t
[tex]\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{5}{3}\frac{dx}{dt}[/tex]
We have dx/dt=5ft/s
Using the value
[tex]\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{5}{3}(5)=\frac{25}{3}ft/s[/tex]
Hence, the tip of his shadow moving with a speed 25/3 ft/s when he is 45 feet from the pole.
Answer:
The tip pf the shadow is moving with speed 25/3 ft/s.
Step-by-step explanation:
height of pole = 15 ft
height of man = 6 ft
x = 45 ft
According to the diagram, dx/dt = 5 ft/s.
Now
[tex]\frac{y-x}{y}=\frac{6}{15}\\\\15 y - 15 x = 6 y \\\\y = \frac{5}{3} x\\\\\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{5}{3}\frac{dx}{dt}\\\\\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{5}{3}\times 5 =\frac{25}{3} ft/s[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:
5 dozen = 5 * 12 = 60 oranges

total sell = 50 * 3 = tk 150
total lose = 180 - 150 = tk 30
A quality control inspector has drawn a sample of 18 light bulbs from a recent production lot. If the number of defective bulbs is 1 or more, the lot fails inspection. Suppose 30% of the bulbs in the lot are defective.
Required:
What is the probability that the lot will pass inspection?
Answers
Answer:
0.0016 = 0.16% probability that the lot will pass inspection.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each bulb, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. The probability of a bulb being defective is independent of any other bulb, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
Sample of 18 light bulbs
This means that [tex]n = 18[/tex]
30% of the bulbs in the lot are defective.
This means that [tex]p = 0.3[/tex]
What is the probability that the lot will pass inspection?
It will pass inspection if there are no defective bulbs, that is, we have to find P(X = 0). So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{18,0}.(0.3)^{0}.(0.7)^{18} = 0.0016[/tex]
0.0016 = 0.16% probability that the lot will pass inspection.

2. The middle 95% of newborn babies weigh between and pounds.
3. What percent of newborn babies weigh less than 6.2 pounds? %
4. Approximately 50% of newborn babies weigh more than pounds.
5. What percent of newborn babies weigh between 6.9 and 9.7 pounds? %
Answers
Answer:
1. 16%
2. The middle 95% of newborn babies weigh between 6.2 and 9 pounds.
3. 2.5%
4. Approximately 50% of newborn babies weigh more than 7.6 pounds.
5. 83.85%
Step-by-step explanation:
The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:
Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.
Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.
In this problem, we have that:
Mean of 7.6 pounds, standard deviation of 0.7 pounds
1. What percent of newborn babies weigh more than 8.3 pounds?
7.6 + 0.7 = 8.3.
So more than 1 standard deviation above the mean.
The normal distribution is symmetric, which means that 50% of the measures are below the mean and 50% are above.
Of those above the mean, 100 - 68 = 32% are more than one standard deviation above the mean. So
[tex]0.32*0.5 = 0.16[/tex]
16% of newborn babies weigh more than 8.3 pounds.
2. The middle 95% of newborn babies weigh between and pounds.
Within 2 standard deviations of the mean, so:
7.6 - 2*0.7 = 6.2 pounds
7.6 + 2*0.7 = 9 pounds.
The middle 95% of newborn babies weigh between 6.2 and 9 pounds.
3. What percent of newborn babies weigh less than 6.2 pounds?
More than 2 standard deviations below the mean, which is 5% of the 50% below the mean, so:
[tex]p = 0.05*0.5 = 0.025[/tex]
2.5% of newborn babies weigh less than 6.2 pounds.
4. Approximately 50% of newborn babies weigh more than pounds.
Due to the symmetry of the normal distribution, the mean, so 7.6 pounds.
Approximately 50% of newborn babies weigh more than 7.6 pounds.
5. What percent of newborn babies weigh between 6.9 and 9.7 pounds?
6.9 = 7.6 - 0.7
9.7 = 7.6 + 3*0.7
Within 1 standard deviation below the mean(68% of the 50% below) and 3 standard deviations above the mean(99.7% of the 50% above). So
[tex]p = 0.68*0.5 + 0.997*0.5 = 0.8385[/tex]
83.85% of newborn babies weigh between 6.9 and 9.7 pounds.

[tex]\text{Part A.}\\(-\frac{1}{8},0),\\(\frac{3}{2},0)\\\\\text{Part B.}\\(\frac{11}{16},\frac{169}{16})\\\\\text{Part C.}[/tex]
Draw a parabola concave down with vertex at [tex](\frac{11}{16},\frac{169}{16})[/tex]. Since the leading coefficient of the equation is -16, the parabola should appear thinner than its parent function [tex]y=x^2[/tex]. Ensure that the parabola passes through the points [tex](\(-\frac{1}{8},0)[/tex] and [tex](\frac{3}{2},0)[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A:
The x-intercepts of a function occur at [tex]y=0[/tex]. Therefore, let [tex]y=0[/tex] and solve for all values of [tex]x[/tex]:
[tex]0=-16x^2+22x+3[/tex]
The quadratic formula states that the real and nonreal solutions to a quadratic in standard form [tex]ax^2+bx+c[/tex] is equal to [tex]x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex].
In [tex]-16x^2+22x+3[/tex], assign:
[tex]a\implies -16[/tex] [tex]b\implies 22[/tex] [tex]c\implies 3[/tex]Therefore, the solutions to this quadratic are:
[tex]x=\frac{-22\pm\sqrt{22^2-4(-16)(3)}}{2(-16)},\\x=\frac{-22\pm 26}{-32},\\\begin{cases}x=\frac{-22+26}{-32}=\frac{4}{-32}=\boxed{-\frac{1}{8}},\\x=\frac{-22-26}{-32}=\frac{-48}{-32}=\boxed{\frac{3}{2}}\end{cases}[/tex]
The x-intercepts are then [tex]\boxed{(-\frac{1}{8},0)}[/tex] and [tex]\boxed{(\frac{3}{2},0)}[/tex].
Part B:
The a-term is negative and therefore the parabola is concave down. Thus, the vertex will be the maximum of the graph. The x-coordinate of the vertex of a quadratic in standard form [tex]ax^2+bx+c[/tex] is equal to [tex]x=\frac{-b}{2a}[/tex]. Using the same variables we assigned earlier, we get:
[tex]x=\frac{-22}{2(-16)}=\frac{-22}{-32}=\frac{11}{16}[/tex]
Substitute this into the equation of the parabola to get the y-value:
[tex]f(11/16)=-16(11/16)^2+22(11/16)+3,\\f(11/16)=\frac{169}{16}[/tex]
Therefore, the vertex of the parabola is located at [tex]\boxed{(\frac{11}{16},\frac{169}{16})}[/tex]

To find the equation of the tangent line, find the deretitave of the xy equation, and subsitute x in to find the slope at that point. Next, use point slope form to find the equation at the point.

The solution of the equation is only one solution.
What is Equation?Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.
It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides. LHS = RHS is a common mathematical formula.
Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.
We have,
-41 - 2x + 6 = -24
Now, solving for x we get
-41 + 6 -2x = -24
-35 - 2x = -24
-2x = -24 + 35
-2x = 11
x = -11/2
x= -5.5
