Find the exact length of the curve. x=et+e−t, y=5−2t, 0≤t≤2 For a curve given by parametric equations x=f(t) and y=g(t), arc length is given by
The length of a curve C parameterized by a vector function r(t) = x(t) i + y(t) j over an interval a ≤ t ≤ b is
[tex]\displaystyle\int_C\mathrm ds = \int_a^b \sqrt{\left(\frac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}\right)^2+\left(\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}\right)^2} \,\mathrm dt[/tex]
In this case, we have
x(t) = exp(t ) + exp(-t ) ==> dx/dt = exp(t ) - exp(-t )
y(t) = 5 - 2t ==> dy/dt = -2
and [a, b] = [0, 2]. The length of the curve is then
[tex]\displaystyle\int_0^2 \sqrt{\left(e^t-e^{-t}\right)^2+(-2)^2} \,\mathrm dt = \int_0^2 \sqrt{e^{2t}-2+e^{-2t}+4}\,\mathrm dt[/tex]
[tex]=\displaystyle\int_0^2 \sqrt{e^{2t}+2+e^{-2t}} \,\mathrm dt[/tex]
[tex]=\displaystyle\int_0^2\sqrt{\left(e^t+e^{-t}\right)^2} \,\mathrm dt[/tex]
[tex]=\displaystyle\int_0^2\left(e^t+e^{-t}\right)\,\mathrm dt[/tex]
[tex]=\left(e^t-e^{-t}\right)\bigg|_0^2 = \left(e^2-e^{-2}\right)-\left(e^0-e^{-0}\right) = \boxed{e^2-\frac1{e^2}}[/tex]
The exact length of the curve when the parametric equations are x = f(t) and y = g(t) is given below.
[tex]e^2 -\dfrac{1}{e^2 }[/tex]
What is integration?It is the reverse of differentiation.
The parametric equations are given below.
[tex]\rm x=e^t+e^{-t}, \ \ 0\leq t\leq 2\\\\y=5-2t, \ \ \ \ \ 0\leq t\leq 2[/tex]
Then the arc length of the curve will be given as
[tex]\int _0^2 \sqrt{(\dfrac{dx}{dt})^2+(\dfrac{dy}{dx})^2}[/tex]
Then we have
[tex]\rm \dfrac{dx}{dt} = e^t-e^{-t}\\\\ \dfrac{dy}{dt} = -2[/tex]
Then
[tex]\rightarrow \int _0^2 \sqrt{(\dfrac{dx}{dt})^2+(\dfrac{dy}{dx})^2}\ \ dt\\\\\rightarrow \int _0^2 \sqrt{(e^t-e^{-t})^2 + (-2)^2} \ dt\\\\\rightarrow \int _0^2 \sqrt{(e^t+e^{-t})^2} \ dt\\\\\rightarrow \int _0^2 (e^t+e^{-t}) \ dt\\\\\rightarrow (e^2-e^{-2}) \\\\\rightarrow e^2 - \dfrac{1}{e^2}[/tex]

Consider the equation 2x-8=10-x. Why can't you determine whether this equation is true or false?
Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
If we consider x=1 then
2*1-8 = 10-1
2-8 =9
6 = 9 (which is impossible)
so false
We can determine that the original equation 2x - 8 = 10 - x is true when x = 6.
We have,
Simplify the equation:
2x - 8 = 10 - x
Combining like terms by adding x to both sides:
3x - 8 = 10
Now, to isolate the variable x, add 8 to both sides:
3x = 18
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 3:
x = 6
By solving the equation, x = 6.
Therefore,
We can determine that the original equation 2x - 8 = 10 - x is true when x = 6.

What is the ratio of the area of the inner square to the area of the outer square?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If we are looking for the ratio of the area of the inner square to the area of the outer square, that means that we need the areas of each of these squares, and we need to find the areas without any numbers. But that's ok; the answer they want is not a number answer. The answer will have a's and b's in it instead of numbers.
First the area of the inner square. Here we go:
Look at the triangle in the lower left corner of this coordinate plane. It is a right triangle. The height of it is b. That's because the height is a "y" thing and the y-coordinates of each of those sets of coordinates is b and 0. The height is then b - 0 = b.
The length of the base is a - b. That's because the length is an "x" thing and the x-coordinates of each of those sets of coordinates is (a - b) and 0. The length is then a - b - 0 = a - b.
Now we need the length of the hypotenuse which also serves as one of the sides of the inner square. Using Pythagorean's Theorem, we can find the length of the hypotenuse, which I will label as "?":
[tex]?^2=b^2+(a-b)^2[/tex] and
[tex]?^2=b^2+a^2-2ab+b^2[/tex] and
[tex]?^2=a^2-2ab+2b^2[/tex] so
?, the length of the hypotenuse, is
[tex]?=\sqrt{a^2-2ab+2b^2}[/tex] and now we can use that to find the area of the inner square. The formula for a square's area is
[tex]A=s^2[/tex] so
[tex]A=(\sqrt{a^_2}-2ab+2b^2})^2[/tex] which gives us finally:
[tex]A=a^2-2ab+2b^2[/tex] **
Now for the outer square. Those blue triangles you see are all congruent. We can use the side lengths for the triangles we found above to find the length of a side of the outer square. One side of the outer square is made up of one base length of these triangles and one height. We found the base length to be (a - b) and the height to be b; therefore, the length of one side of the outer square is b + (a - b) which is just "a". That's is, just a length of "a". The area is found by multiplying this side length by itself, so the area of the outer square is
A = a²
The ratio of the area of the inner to the outer is:
[tex]\frac{A_i}{A_o}:\frac{a^2-2ab+2b^2}{a^2}[/tex] and that does not reduce.

Josue leans a 26-foot ladder against a wall so that it forms an
angle of 80° with the ground. How high up the wall does the
ladder reach? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a
foot if necessary.
Answer:
25.61 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we can draw a picture (see attached picture). With the wall representing the rightmost line, and the ground representing the bottom line, the ladder (the hypotenuse) forms a 80 degree angle with the ground and the wall and ground form a 90 degree angle.
Without solving for other angles, we know one angle and the hypotenuse, and want to find the opposite side of the angle.
One formula that encompasses this is sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse, with x being 80 degrees and the hypotenuse being 26 feet. We thus have
sin(80°) = opposite / 26 feet
multiply both sides by 26 feet
sin(80°) * 26 feet = opposite
= 25.61 feet as the height of the wall the ladder reaches
The height of the wall does the ladder reach to the nearest hundredth of the foot is 25.61 feet.
What is a right-angle triangle?It is a type of triangle in which one angle is 90 degrees and it follows the Pythagoras theorem and we can use the trigonometry function. The Pythagoras is the sum of the square of two sides is equal to the square of the longest side.
Josue leans a 26 feet ladder against a wall so that it forms an angle of 80° with the ground.
The condition is shown in the diagram.
Then the height of the wall will be
[tex]\rm \dfrac{h }{26 } = sin 80 \\\\h \ \ = 26 \times sin 80\\\\h \ \ = 25.61 \ ft[/tex]

Solve the equation below through elimination. -3x-3y=3 -5x+2y=19
HOW TO SOLVE SYSTEMS OF EQUATIONS BY ELIMINATION
To solve systems of equations by elimination, we want to eliminate one of the variables. To do this, we want to cancel out a certain variable in both equations. For example, if you had 8x in one equation and -8 x in another, you could combine the two equations and the x would be gone!
THE SOLUTION
In our case, though, we don't have anything we can combine to cancel out the variables. But, what we can do is multiply the first equation by three. If we do this, now we have a 9x in the top and a -9x in the bottom. Then, we can solve for y!
SOLVING FOR Y
Multiply first equation by three
9x+6y=57
Combine top and bottom equations
14y=28
We divide both sides by 14.
y=2
SOLVING FOR X
Now, we can simply plug our y-value into one of the original equations and then solve for x.
3x+4=19
We subtract 28 from both sides.
3x=15
We divide both sides by 3.
x=5
Therefore, our solution is (5,2) or x=5 and y=2.

Find the area of the irregular figure. Round to the nearest hundredth.
Answer:
44.5 units squared
Step-by-step explanation:
First, separate the figure into two different shapes. You should get a rectangle and a triangle after doing this. Next, we'll work on the rectangle. Multiply 2 by 10, and you'll get the area of the rectangle, which would be 20 units squared. We can't multiply 3 by 2, as that would cause the triangle to have 4 sides rather than 3. A triangle can ONLY have 3 sides anyway, so always remember that. Next, we'll work on the triangle. Subtract 10 by 3, and you'll get 7. This will be the triangle's height, so the equation would be 7 X 7 divided by 2, which would be 24.5 units squared. Finally, add 24.5 and 20. You should get 44.5 units squared as your final answer.
So, the final answer for this problem would be 44.5 units squared.

Miller's Steakhouse offers 8 side dishes, 5 types of steak, and 4 toppings. How many different smothered steak dinners can be made if a smothered steak dinner consists of the customer's choice of steak served with 3 different toppings and 3 different side dishes?
Answer:
1120
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the possible number of steak dinners, you would multiply the number of choices for each part of the dinner. You would used combinations instead of permutations since the order of the toppings chosen or side dishes chosen do not matter. There are 5 choose 1 choices for types of steak, which is just 5. There are 8 choose 3 choices for side dishes, which is 56. There are 4 choose 3 choices for toppings, which is 4. 5*56*4 is 1120, so there are 1120 possible steak dinners.

A set of quiz scores has a mean of 78 and a standard
deviation of 9. Using a common grading scale where 60
and above is a passing score, what percentage of the
students passed this test?
Explain your answer in terms of the 68-95-99.7 rule.
Answer:
The answer is "There are [tex]97.5\%[/tex] of the students pass in the test ".
Step-by-step explanation:
Since a normally distributed random variable, the practical rule states:
About 68% of the metrics are in the 1 default deviation
About 95% of metrics correspond to 2 standard deviations from the average.
About 3 standard deviations of the average represent 99.7% of the measurement.
We have the following in this problem:
Average of 78, the average 9 default.
Calculating the percentage of students that passed the test.
[tex]Above 60\\\\60 = 78 - 2\times 9[/tex]
Therefore 60 is under the average for two standard deviations.
Its normality test is symmetric, so 50% of such observations are below mean and 50% below mean.
Everything was cleared of the 50 percent above.
Of the 50% below, 95% (within 2 known mean deviations) succeeded.
therefore
[tex]p=0.5+0.5 \times 0.95=0.975[/tex]

The surface area of a melting snowball decreases at a rate of3.8cm2/min. Find the rate at which its diameter decreases when the diameter is13cm. (Round your answer to three decimal places if required)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a pretty basic related rates problem. I'm going to go through this just like I do in class when I'm teaching it to my students.
We see we have a snowball, which is a sphere. We are talking about the surface area of this sphere which has a formula of
[tex]S=4\pi r^2[/tex]
In the problem we are given diameter, not radius. What we know about the relationship between a radius and a diameter is that
d = 2r so
[tex]\frac{d}{2}=r[/tex] Now we can have the equation in terms of diameter instead of radius. Rewriting:
[tex]S=4\pi(\frac{d}{2})^2[/tex] which simplifies to
[tex]S=4\pi(\frac{d^2}{4})[/tex] and a bit more to
[tex]S=\pi d^2[/tex] (the 4's cancel out by division). Now that is a simple equation for which we have to find the derivative with respect to time.
[tex]\frac{dS}{dt}=\pi*2d\frac{dD}{dt}[/tex] Now let's look at the problem and see what we are given as far as information.
The rate at which the surface area changes is -3.8, and we are looking for [tex]\frac{dD}{dt}[/tex], the rate at which the diameter is changing, when the diameter is 13. Filling in:
[tex]-3.8=\pi(2)(13)\frac{dD}{dt}[/tex] and solving for the rate at which the diameter is changing:
[tex]-\frac{3.8}{26\pi}=\frac{dD}{dt}[/tex] and divide to get
[tex]\frac{dD}{dt}=-.459\frac{cm}{min}[/tex] Obviously, the negative means that the diameter is decreasing.
Purpose: The purpose of this learning activity is to demonstrate the understanding of correlation and regression and how they could be important in your future practice. Instructions: Submit 1 paragraph answering the following questions: • What are the differences between results that demonstrate a correlation between two variables and results where a regression is run using two variables? • Think about your future clinical role and provide a clinical example of variables that you may want a correlation analysis run and explain. • Think about your future clinical role and provide a clinical example of variables that you may want a regression analysis run and explain.
Answer:
A correlation shows strength and regression tells the pattern.
Step-by-step explanation:
• The differences between the results that demonstrate a correlation between two variables and results where a regression is run using two variables are as follows
1) the correlation is the measure of degree to which any two variables may vary together.
2) if both variables tend to increase or decrease together the correlation is said to be direct or positive.
3) the correlation gives the strength of relationship between two quantities
4) The regression gives the relationship in the form of an equation.
5) The regression investigates the dependence of the dependent variable on the independent variable.
6) it shows the relationship whether it is linear or curved or parabolic etc.
• I may record the ages and the blood pressure of the patients and run a correlation analysis which may not be positive as blood pressure does not always increase with age
• I may record the ages and the blood pressure of the patients and may want to run a regression analysis which will show the relationship of the patients suffering from high blood pressure and their ages whether it follows a similar pattern or not.

The travel time on a section of a Long Island Expressway (LIE) is normally distributed with a mean of 80 seconds and a standard deviation of 6 seconds. What travel time separates the top 2.5% of the travel times from the rest
Answer:
The travel time that separates the top 2.5% of the travel times from the rest is of 91.76 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal Probability Distribution
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Mean of 80 seconds and a standard deviation of 6 seconds.
This means that [tex]\mu = 80, \sigma = 6[/tex]
What travel time separates the top 2.5% of the travel times from the rest?
This is the 100 - 2.5 = 97.5th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.975, so X when Z = 1.96.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]1.96 = \frac{X - 80}{6}[/tex]
[tex]X - 80 = 6*1.96[/tex]
[tex]X = 91.76[/tex]
The travel time that separates the top 2.5% of the travel times from the rest is of 91.76 seconds.
a soft drink vendor at a popular beach analyzes his sales recods and finds that if he sells x cans of soda pop in one day, his profit (in dollars) is given by
Complete Question:
A soft-drink vendor at a popular beach analyzes his sales records, and finds that if he sells x cans of soda pop in one day, his profit (in dollars) is given by P(x) = -0.001x² + 3x - 1800.
a. What is his maximum profit per day?
b. How many cans must be sold in order to obtain the maximum profit?
Answer:
a. $450
b. 1500 cans
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following quadratic function;
P(x) = -0.001x² + 3x - 1800 ......equation 1
a. To find his maximum profit per day;
Since P(x) is a quadratic equation, P(x) would be maximum when [tex] x = \frac {-b}{2a} [/tex]
Note : the standard form of a quadratic equation is ax² + bx + c = 0 ......equation 2
Comparing eqn 1 and eqn 2, we have;
a = -0.001, b = 3 and c = -1800
Now, we determine the maximum profit;
[tex] x = \frac {-b}{2a} [/tex]
Substituting the values, we have;
[tex] x = \frac {-3}{2*(-0.001)} [/tex]
Cancelling out the negative signs, we have;
[tex] x = \frac {3}{2*0.001} [/tex]
[tex] x = \frac {3}{0.002} [/tex]
x at maximum = 1500
Substituting the value of "x" into equation 1;
P(1500) = -0.001 * 1500² + 3(1500) - 1800
P(1500) = -0.001 * 2250000 + 4500 - 1800
P(1500) = -2250 + 2700
P(1500) = $450
b. Therefore, the soft-drink vendor must sell 1500 cans in order to obtain the maximum profit.
