Answer:
d. Ad hominem
Step-by-step explanation:
A fallacy can be defined as a mistaken or false belief that are based on illogical arguments or reasoning.
However, a lot of people might actually think it to be true but it isn't. There are various types of fallacy, these include;
I. Black or white.
II. Non sequitur.
III. Appeal to moderation.
IV. Bandwagon.
V. Appeal to authority.
VI. Straw man.
VII. Oversimplification or hasty generalization.
VIII. Appeal to ignorance.
IX. Appeal to pity.
X. Ad hominem.
Ad hominem can be defined as a type of fallacy in which the motive, character, or some other aspect of a person is attacked rather than his or her position.
This ultimately implies that, Ad hominem is typically based on prejudices, emotions, or feelings rather than appealing to reason, intellect or substance.
In this scenario, John Bardeen's research work at the Advanced Institute for Physics has progressed so slowly that even his colleagues call him a plodder. As a result, the speaker concluded that it's prudent at present not to take seriously his current theory on how strings constitute the smallest of subatomic particles. Thus, the logical fallacy described above is an ad hominem because John's slowness in his research work is bone of contention for the speaker rather than analyzing and concentrating on his theory about strings.

A person is standing close to the edge on a 56 foot building and throws the ball vertically upward. The quadratic function h(t)=-16^2+104t+56 models the balls height above the ground,h(t),in feet, T seconds after it was thrown
what is the maximum height of ball.=
How many seconds did it take to hit the ground=
Please help!
Answer:
Part 1)
225 feet.
Part 2)
7 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
The height h(t) of the ball above the ground after t seconds is modeled by the function:
[tex]h(t)=-16t^2+104t+56[/tex]
Part 1)
We want to determine the maximum height of the ball.
Notice that the function is a quadratic with a negative leading coefficient, so its maximum will be at its vertex point.
The vertex of a parabola is given by:
[tex]\displaystyle \text{Vertex} = \left(-\frac{b}{2a}, f\left(-\frac{b}{2a}\right)\right)[/tex]
In this case, a = -16, b = 104, and c = 56.
Find the x- (or rather t-) coordinate of the vertex. So:
[tex]\displaystyle t=-\frac{(104)}{2(-16)}=\frac{104}{32}=\frac{13}{4}=3.25\text{ seconds}[/tex]
In other words, the ball reaches its maximum height after 3.25 seconds.
To find the maximum height, substitute this value back into the function. Hence:
[tex]\displaystyle h(3.25)=-16(3.25)^2+104(3.25)+56=225\text{ feet}[/tex]
The maximum height of the ball is 225 feet in the air.
Part 2)
We want to find the amount of time it took for the ball to hit the ground.
When the ball hit the ground, its height above the ground is zero. Therefore, we can set h(t) to 0 and solve for t:
[tex]0=-16t^2+104t+56[/tex]
We can simplify a bit. Divide both sides by -8:
[tex]0=2t^2-13t-7[/tex]
We can factor. Find two numbers that multiply to 2(-7) = -14 and add to -13.
-14 and 1 works! Therefore, split the second term into -14 and 1:
[tex]\displaystyle 0=2t^2-14t+t-7[/tex]
Factor out a 2t from the first two terms and group the last two terms:
[tex]0=2t(t-7)+(t-7)[/tex]
Factor by grouping:
[tex]0=(2t+1)(t-7)[/tex]
Zero Product Property:
[tex]2t+1=0\text{ or } t-7=0[/tex]
Solve for each case:
[tex]\displaystyle t=-0.5\text{ or } t=7[/tex]
Since time cannot be negative, we can ignore the first case.
Therefore, it takes seven seconds for the ball to hit the ground.

At what x value does the function given below have a hole?
f(x)=x+3/x2−9
Answer:
hole at x=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
The hole is the discontinuity that exists after the fraction reduces. (Still doesn't exist for original of course)
The discontinuities for this expression is when the bottom is 0. x^2-9=0 when x=3 or x=-3 since squaring either and then subtracting 9 would lead to 0.
So anyways we have (x+3)/(x^2-9)
= (x+3)/((x-3)(x+3))
Now this equals 1/(x-3) with a hole at x=-3 since the x+3 factor was "cancelled" from the denominator.

Use reduction of order to find a second linearly independent solution
(2x+5)y′′−4(x+3)y′+4y=0,x>−52,y1=e2x
Given that exp(2x) is a solution, we assume another solution of the form
y(x) = v(x) exp(2x) = v exp(2x)
with derivatives
y' = v' exp(2x) + 2v exp(2x)
y'' = v'' exp(2x) + 4v' exp(2x) + 4v exp(2x)
Substitute these into the equation:
(2x + 5) (v'' exp(2x) + 4v' exp(2x) + 4v exp(2x)) - 4 (x + 3) (v' exp(2x) + 2v exp(2x)) + 4v exp(2x) = 0
Each term contains a factor of exp(2x) that can be divided out:
(2x + 5) (v'' + 4v' + 4v) - 4 (x + 3) (v' + 2v) + 4v = 0
Expanding and simplifying eliminates the v term:
(2x + 5) v'' + (4x + 8) v' = 0
Substitute w(x) = v'(x) to reduce the order of the equation, and you're left with a linear ODE:
(2x + 5) w' + (4x + 8) w = 0
w' + (4x + 8)/(2x + 5) w = 0
I'll use the integrating factor method. The IF is
µ(x) = exp( ∫ (4x + 8)/(2x + 5) dx ) = exp(2x - log|2x + 5|) = exp(2x)/(2x + 5)
Multiply through the ODE in w by µ :
µw' + µ (4x + 8)/(2x + 5) w = 0
The left side is the derivative of a product:
[µw]' = 0
Integrate both sides:
∫ [µw]' dx = ∫ 0 dx
µw = C
Replace w with v', then integrate to solve for v :
exp(2x)/(2x + 5) v' = C
v' = C (2x + 5) exp(-2x)
∫ v' dx = ∫ C (2x + 5) exp(-2x) dx
v = C₁ (x + 3) exp(-2x) + C₂
Replace v with y exp(-2x) and solve for y :
y exp(-2x) = C₁ (x + 3) exp(-2x) + C₂
y = C₁ (x + 3) + C₂ exp(2x)
It follows that the second fundamental solution is y = x + 3. (The exp(2x) here is already accounted for as the first solution.)
Peter is 8 years younger than Alex. In 9 years time, the sum of their ages will be 76 . How old is Alex now?
Answer:
Peter is a-8 in 9 years, (a-8)+ 9+ a+ 9= 76
Answer:
P = 25
A = 33
Step-by-step explanation:
P + 8 = A
P + 9 + A + 9 = 76
P + A = 58
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
P = 58 - A
P = 58 - P - 8
2 P = 50
P = 25
A = 33
Suppose the sales (1000s of $) of a fast food restaurant are a linear function of the number of competing outlets within a 5 mile radius and the population (1000s of people) within a 1 mile radius. The regression equation quantifying this relation is (sales)
Answer:
[tex]Sales = 86.749[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Sales = 0.845*(competitors) + 5.79*(population) + 13.889[/tex]
[tex]Competitors = 4[/tex]
[tex]Population = 12000[/tex]
See comment for complete question
Required
The sales
We have:
[tex]Sales = 0.845*(competitors) + 5.79*(population) + 13.889[/tex]
Substitute values for competitors and population
[tex]Sales = 0.845*4 + 5.79*12 + 13.889[/tex]
[tex]Sales = 3.38 + 69.48 + 13.889[/tex]
[tex]Sales = 86.749[/tex]
Matthew participates in a study that is looking at how confident students at SUNY Albany are. The mean score on the scale is 50. The distribution has a standard deviation of 10 and is normally distributed. Matthew scores a 65. What percentage of people could be expected to score the same as Matthew or higher on this scale?
a) 93.32%
b) 6.68%
c) 0.07%
d) 43.32%
Answer:
b) 6.68%
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.
The mean score on the scale is 50. The distribution has a standard deviation of 10.
This means that [tex]\mu = 50, \sigma = 10[/tex]
Matthew scores a 65. What percentage of people could be expected to score the same as Matthew or higher on this scale?
The proportion is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 65. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{65 - 50}{10}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.5[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.5[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9332.
1 - 0.9332 = 0.0668
0.0668*100% = 6.68%
So the correct answer is given by option b.

Describe how the graph of y = |x - 2| - 5 is a transformation of the graph of y = |x|. Use terms such as "shifted", "reflected", "stretched", or "compressed".
Answer:
The original graph was shifted 2 units to the left and 5 units down.
Step-by-step explanation:
y = |x|
From this, we go to: y = |x - 2|.
When we want to shift a function f(x) a units to the left, we find f(x - a). So first, the graph was shifted 2 units to the left.
y = |x - 2|.
From this, we go to: y = |x - 2| - 5.
Shifting a function f(x) down b units is the same as finding f(x) - b, so the second transformation was shifting the graph 5 units down.
Answer the following.
(a) Find an angle between and that is coterminal with .
(b) Find an angle between and that is coterminal with . Give exact values for your answers.
I believe this is your question:
A.) find an angle between 0 degrees and 360 degrees that is coterminal with 570 degrees.
Answer:
210 degrees
Explanation:
Coterminal angles begin on the same initial side and end or terminate on the same side as an angle. Example 45 degrees and 405 degrees are coterminal angles because they both begin and end on the same side.
To find an angle between 0 and 360 that is coterminal with 570 degrees, w simply subtract 360 degrees from 570, hence:
570-360=210 degrees
570 degrees is coterminal with 210 degrees
16. Risa wants to order business cards. A print-
ing company determines the cost (C) to
the customer using the following function,
where b the number of boxes of cards and
n= the number of ink colors.
C= $25.60b + $14.00b(n - 1)
If Risa orders 4 boxes of cards printed in 3
colors, how much will the cards cost?
OA. $214.40
OB. $168.00
C. $144.40
OD. $102.40
Answer:
A - $214.40
Step-by-step explanation:
Since b is the number of boxes of cards and n is the number of ink colors, and we're given the number of boxes of cards, and number of ink colors, we plug in:
4= b
and
3 = n
into the given equation to solve for C.
Using the order of operations we start inside our parentheses and work from there:
C= $25.60*4 + $14.00*4(3 - 1)
C= $25.60*4 + $14.00*4(2)
C= $102.40 + $112
C= $214.40

Answer:
"Add equations A and B to eliminate [tex]y[/tex]. Add equations A and C to eliminate [tex]y[/tex]".
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be the following system of linear equations:
[tex]4\cdot x + 4\cdot y + z = 24[/tex] (1)
[tex]2\cdot x - 4\cdot y +z = 0[/tex] (2)
[tex]5\cdot x - 4\cdot y - 5\cdot z = 12[/tex] (3)
1) We eliminate [tex]y[/tex] by adding (1) and (2):
[tex](4\cdot x + 2\cdot x) +(4\cdot y - 4\cdot y) + (z + z) = 24 + 0[/tex]
[tex]6\cdot x +2\cdot z = 24[/tex] (4)
2) We eliminate [tex]y[/tex] by adding (1) and (3):
[tex](4\cdot x + 5\cdot x) +(4\cdot y - 4\cdot y) +(z -5\cdot z) = (24 + 12)[/tex]
[tex]9\cdot x -4\cdot z = 36[/tex] (5)
Hence, the correct answer is "Add equations A and B to eliminate [tex]y[/tex]. Add equations A and C to eliminate [tex]y[/tex]".
If interest is 8% and it is compounded semiannually, and after one year, the total value is $10,816, what was the original investment?
How long will it take 500 dollars to double if it is invested at 7% interest compounded semi-annually
Answer:
11 half years
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for compound interest is
A = P(1+r/n)^(nt), with r representing the interest rate, n being the number of times interest is applied over the time period, and t being the amount of time periods.
If we make the time period a half year (so interest is compounded once per time period), n=2. Then, our interest rate is 7%, or 0.07 (to convert from percent to decimal, simply divide by 100). Our starting amount is 500, and we want it to double, making it 1000. Our formula is thus
1000 = 500 (1+0.07)^(t)
divide both sides by 500
2 = (1+0.07)^(t)
2 = (1.07)^(t)
Using logarithms, we can say that
[tex]log_{1.07} 2 = t[/tex]
and using a calculator, we get
10.24 = t
Since interest is only compounded once per time period, though, we have to round up to make sure it doubles, so t = 11
