Step-by-step explanation:
we want to prove that A.M, G.M. and H.M between any two unequal positive numbers satisfy the following relations.
(G.M)²= (A.M)×(H.M) A.M>G.M>H.Mwell, to do so let the two unequal positive numbers be [tex]\text{$x_1$ and $x_2$}[/tex] where:

Proof of I:[tex] \displaystyle \rm AM \times HM = \frac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{2} \times \frac{2}{ \frac{1}{x_{1} } + \frac{1}{x_{2}} } [/tex]
simplify addition:
[tex] \displaystyle \frac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{2} \times \frac{2}{ \dfrac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{x_{1} x_{2}} } [/tex]
reduce fraction:
[tex] \displaystyle x_{1} + x_{2} \times \frac{1}{ \dfrac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{x_{1} x_{2}} } [/tex]
simplify complex fraction:
[tex] \displaystyle x_{1} + x_{2} \times \frac{x_{1} x_{2}}{x_{1} + x_{2}} [/tex]
reduce fraction:
[tex] \displaystyle x_{1} x_{2}[/tex]

[tex] \displaystyle (\sqrt{x_{1} x_{2}} {)}^{2} [/tex]
[tex] \displaystyle AM \times HM = (GM{)}^{2} [/tex]
hence, PROVEN
Proof of II:[tex] \displaystyle x_{1} > x_{2}[/tex]
square root both sides:
[tex] \displaystyle \sqrt{x_{1} }> \sqrt{ x_{2}}[/tex]
isolate right hand side expression to left hand side and change its sign:
[tex]\displaystyle\sqrt{x_{1} } - \sqrt{ x_{2}} > 0[/tex]
square both sides:
[tex]\displaystyle(\sqrt{x_{1} } - \sqrt{ x_{2}} {)}^{2} > 0[/tex]
expand using (a-b)²=a²-2ab+b²:
[tex]\displaystyle x_{1} -2\sqrt{x_{1} }\sqrt{ x_{2}} + x_{2} > 0[/tex]
move -2√x_1√x_2 to right hand side and change its sign:
[tex]\displaystyle x_{1} + x_{2} > 2 \sqrt{x_{1} } \sqrt{ x_{2}}[/tex]
divide both sides by 2:
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{2} > \sqrt{x_{1} x_{2}}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle \boxed{ AM>GM}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{x_{1}} - \frac{2}{\sqrt{x_{1} x_{2}} } + \frac{1}{x_{2} }> 0[/tex]
move the middle expression to right hand side and change its sign:
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{x_{1}} + \frac{1}{x_{2} }> \frac{2}{\sqrt{x_{1} x_{2}} }[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{\frac{1}{x_{1}} + \frac{1}{x_{2} }}{2}> \frac{1}{\sqrt{x_{1} x_{2}} }[/tex]

Let V be the volume of the solid obtained by rotating about the y-axis the region bounded y = sqrt(25x) and y = x^2/25. Find V by slicing & find V by cylindrical shells.
Explanation:
Let [tex]f(x) = \sqrt{25x}[/tex] and [tex]g(x) = \frac{x^2}{25}[/tex]. The differential volume dV of the cylindrical shells is given by
[tex]dV = 2\pi x[f(x) - g(x)]dx[/tex]
Integrating this expression, we get
[tex]\displaystyle V = 2\pi\int{x[f(x) - g(x)]}dx[/tex]
To determine the limits of integration, we equate the two functions to find their solutions and thus the limits:
[tex]\sqrt{25x} = \dfrac{x^2}{25}[/tex]
We can clearly see that x = 0 is one of the solutions. For the other solution/limit, let's solve for x by first taking the square of the equation above:
[tex]25x = \dfrac{x^4}{(25)^2} \Rightarrow \dfrac{x^3}{(25)^3} = 1[/tex]
or
[tex]x^3 =(25)^3 \Rightarrow x = \pm25[/tex]
Since we are rotating the functions around the y-axis, we are going to use the x = 25 solution as one of the limits. So the expression for the volume of revolution around the y-axis is
[tex]\displaystyle V = 2\pi\int_0^{25}{x\left(\sqrt{25x} - \frac{x^2}{25}\right)}dx[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle\:\:\:\:=10\pi\int_0^{25}{x^{3/2}}dx - \frac{2\pi}{25}\int_0^{25}{x^3}dx[/tex]
[tex]\:\:\:\:=\left(4\pi x^{5/2} - \dfrac{\pi}{50}x^4\right)_0^{25}[/tex]
[tex]\:\:\:\:=4\pi(3125) - \pi(7812.5) = 14726.2[/tex]

Diane must choose a number between 49 and 95 that is a multiple of 2, 3, and 9. Write all the numbers that she could choose. If
there is more than one number, separate them with commas?
The set of numbers that Diane can choose is:
{54, 60, 66, 72, 78, 84, 90}
Finding common multiples of 2, 3, and 6:
A number is a multiple of 2 if the number is even.
A number is a multiple of 3 if the sum of its digits is multiples of 3.
A number is a multiple of 6 if it is a multiple of 2 and 3.
Then we only need to look at the first two criteria.
First, let's see all the even numbers in the range (49, 95)
These are:
{50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 62, 64, 66, 68, 70, 72, 74, 76, 78, 80, 82, 84, 86, 88, 90, 92, 94}
All of these are multiples of 2.
Now we need to see which ones are multiples of 3.
To do it, we sum its digits and see if that sum is also a multiple of 3.
50: 5 + 0 = 5 this is not multiple of 3.
52: 5 + 2 = 7 this is not multiple of 3.
54: 5 + 4 = 9 this is multiple of 3, so 54 is a possible number.
And so on, we will find that the ones that are multiples of 3 are:
54: 5 + 4 = 9.
60: 6 + 0 = 6
66: 6 + 6 = 12
72: 7 + 2 = 9
78: 7 + 8 = 15
84: 8 + 4 = 12
90:9 + 0 = 9
Then the numbers that Diane could choose are:
{54, 60, 66, 72, 78, 84, 90}

The time I spend waiting for the bus on any given day has a distribution with mean 4 min- utes and variance off 0.5 minutes. What is the probability that I spend more than 2 hours and 10 minutes waiting for the bus in one month (30 days)? You may assume that waiting times on different days are independent of each other. HINT: Is there a sum of random variables somewhere in here?
Answer:
0.0049 = 0.49% probability that I spend more than 2 hours and 10 minutes waiting for the bus in one month.
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.
n instances of a normal variable:
For n instances of a normal variable, the mean is:
[tex]M = n\mu[/tex]
[tex]s = \sigma\sqrt{n}[/tex]
Mean of 4 minutes, standard deviation of 0.5 minutes:
This means that [tex]\mu = 4, \sigma = \sqrt{0.5}[/tex]
30 days:
[tex]M = 30(4) = 120[/tex]
[tex]s = \sqrt{0.5}\sqrt{30} = \sqrt{0.5*30} = \sqrt{15}[/tex]
What is the probability that I spend more than 2 hours and 10 minutes waiting for the bus in one month (30 days)?
2 hours and 10 minutes is 2*60 + 10 = 130 minutes, so this probability is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 130. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
In this context, due to the 30 instances of the normal variable:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - M}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{130 - 120}{\sqrt{15}}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 2.58[/tex]
[tex]Z = 2.58[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9951.
1 - 0.9951 = 0.0049
0.0049 = 0.49% probability that I spend more than 2 hours and 10 minutes waiting for the bus in one month.

A sample of 45 bottles of soft drink showed a variance of 1.1 in their contents. The process engineer wants to determine whether or not the standard deviation of the population is significantly different from 0.9 ounces. What is the value of the test statistic
Answer:
The value of the test statistic is 59.75.
Step-by-step explanation:
The test statistic for the population standard deviation is:
[tex]\chi^2 = \frac{n-1}{\sigma_0^2}s^2[/tex]
In which n is the sample size, [tex]\sigma_0[/tex] is the value tested and s is the sample standard deviation.
A sample of 45 bottles of soft drink showed a variance of 1.1 in their contents.
This means that [tex]n = 45, s^2 = 1.1[/tex]
The process engineer wants to determine whether or not the standard deviation of the population is significantly different from 0.9 ounces.
0.9 is the value tested, so [tex]\sigma_0 = 0.9, \sigma_0^2 = 0.81[/tex]
What is the value of the test statistic
[tex]\chi^2 = \frac{n-1}{\sigma_0^2}s^2[/tex]
[tex]\chi^2 = \frac{44}{0.81}1.1 = 59.75[/tex]
The value of the test statistic is 59.75.
If y = ax^2 + bx + c passes through the points (-3,10), (0,1) and (2,15), what is the value of a + b + c?
Hi there!
[tex]\large\boxed{a + b + c = 6}[/tex]
We can begin by using the point (0, 1).
At the graph's y-intercept, where x = 0, y = 1, so:
1 = a(0)² + b(0) + c
c = 1
We can now utilize the first point given (-3, 10):
10 = a(-3)² + b(-3) + 1
Simplify:
9 = 9a - 3b
Divide all terms by 3:
3 = 3a - b
Rearrange to solve for a variable:
b = 3a - 3
Now, use the other point:
15 = a(2)² + 2(3a - 3) + 1
14 = 4a + 6a - 6
Solve:
20 = 10a
2 = a
Plug this in to solve for b:
b = 3a - 3
b = 3(2) - 3 = 3
Add all solved variables together:
2 + 3 + 1 = 6

5≤x≤7
Step-by-step explanation:
For a given function f(x), the average rate of change in a given interval:
a ≤ x ≤ b
is given by:
[tex]r = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}[/tex]
Here we have:
f(x) = 4*log(x + 2)
And we want to see which interval has the smallest average rate of change, so we just need fo find the average rate of change for these 4 intervals.
1) 1≤x≤3
here we have:
[tex]r = \frac{f(3) - f(1)}{3 - 1} = \frac{4*log(3 + 2) - 4*log(1 + 2)}{2} = 0.44[/tex]
2) 5≤x≤7
[tex]r = \frac{f(7) - f(5)}{7 - 5} = \frac{4*log(7 + 2) - 4*log(5 + 2)}{2} = 0.22[/tex]
3) 3≤x≤5
[tex]r = \frac{f(5) - f(3)}{5 - 3} = \frac{4*log(5 + 2) - 4*log(3 + 2)}{2} = 0.29[/tex]
4) −1≤x≤1
[tex]r = \frac{f(1) - f(-1)}{1 - (-1)} = \frac{4*log(1 + 2) - 4*log(-1 + 2)}{2} = 0.95[/tex]
So we can see that the smalles average rate of change is in 5≤x≤7
How do I solve these I need a explanation too cause I’m not sure how to do it
Answer:
5/6 and 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to add and subtract fractions, you have to first find a common denominator for both fractions. So, for your first question 1/3 + 1/2, your common denominator would be 6 because it is the least common multiple. So, multiply the top and bottom of 1/3 by 2 to get 2/6 and multiply the top and bottom of 1/2 by 3 in order to get 3/6. Next add your products together 2/6 + 3/6 but only add the numerator, not the denominator. Finally you get, 2/6 + 3/6 = 5/6.
For your second equation, you basically do the same thing, but for the last part, you subtract instead. First, find the least common multiple (common denominator) for 2 and 4, which is 4. Since, 3/4 already has a denominator of 4, you don't have to change that fraction at all, just change 1/2. Next multiply the top and the bottom of 1/2 by 2 to get 2/4. Finally, subtract 3/4 - 2/4 = 1/4.

Answer:
1. 5/6
2. 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 1/3 + 1/2
Step 1. Find a common denominator for both fractions (by taking the denominator and finding their least common multiple)
Answer:
3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15,…
2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10,…
The least common multiple will be 6
So the new denominator for both fractions is 6
Step 2. Rewrite the fractions using the same denominator
Answer:
1/3 = ?/6 1/2 = ?/6
1/3 = 2/6 1/2 = 3/6
(To get the numerator of the fraction, note that to get the denominator by a number being multiplied by that number, that same number as to be multiplied to the numerator)
Step 3. Add (2/6 + 3/6)
Answer:
2/6 + 3/6 = 5/6
(Denominator stays the same when subtracting or adding)

2. 3/4 - 1/2
Step 1. Find a common denominator for both fractions (by taking the denominator and finding their least common multiple)
Answer:
2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10,…
4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20,…
The least common multiple will be 4
So the new denominator for both fractions is 4
Step 2. Rewrite the fractions using the same denominator
Answer:
3/4 = ?/4 1/2 = ?/4
3/4 = 3/4 1/2 = 2/4
(To get the numerator of the fraction, note that to get the denominator by a number being multiplied by that number, that same number as to be multiplied to the numerator)
Step 3. Subtract (3/4 - 2/4)
Answer:
3/4 - 2/4 = 1/4
(Denominator stays the same when subtracting or adding)
