First, I'll make f(x) = sin(px) + cos(px) because this expression shows up quite a lot, and such a substitution makes life a bit easier for us.
Let's apply the first derivative of this f(x) function.
[tex]f(x) = \sin(px)+\cos(px)\\\\f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}[f(x)]\\\\f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}[\sin(px)+\cos(px)]\\\\f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}[\sin(px)]+\frac{d}{dx}[\cos(px)]\\\\f'(x) = p\cos(px)-p\sin(px)\\\\ f'(x) = p(\cos(px)-\sin(px))\\\\[/tex]
Now apply the derivative to that to get the second derivative
[tex]f''(x) = \frac{d}{dx}[f'(x)]\\\\f''(x) = \frac{d}{dx}[p(\cos(px)-\sin(px))]\\\\ f''(x) = p*\left(\frac{d}{dx}[\cos(px)]-\frac{d}{dx}[\sin(px)]\right)\\\\ f''(x) = p*\left(-p\sin(px)-p\cos(px)\right)\\\\ f''(x) = -p^2*\left(\sin(px)+\cos(px)\right)\\\\ f''(x) = -p^2*f(x)\\\\[/tex]
We can see that f '' (x) is just a scalar multiple of f(x). That multiple of course being -p^2.
Keep in mind that we haven't actually found dy/dx yet, or its second derivative counterpart either.
-----------------------------------
Let's compute dy/dx. We'll use f(x) as defined earlier.
[tex]y = \ln\left(\sin(px)+\cos(px)\right)\\\\y = \ln\left(f(x)\right)\\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}\left[y\right]\\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}\left[\ln\left(f(x)\right)\right]\\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{f(x)}*\frac{d}{dx}\left[f(x)\right]\\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{f'(x)}{f(x)}\\\\[/tex]
Use the chain rule here.
There's no need to plug in the expressions f(x) or f ' (x) as you'll see in the last section below.
Now use the quotient rule to find the second derivative of y
[tex]\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{d}{dx}\left[\frac{dy}{dx}\right]\\\\\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{d}{dx}\left[\frac{f'(x)}{f(x)}\right]\\\\\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{f''(x)*f(x)-f'(x)*f'(x)}{(f(x))^2}\\\\\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{f''(x)*f(x)-(f'(x))^2}{(f(x))^2}\\\\[/tex]
If you need a refresher on the quotient rule, then
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}\left[\frac{P}{Q}\right] = \frac{P'*Q - P*Q'}{Q^2}\\\\[/tex]
where P and Q are functions of x.
-----------------------------------
This then means
[tex]\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} + \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2 + p^2\\\\\frac{f''(x)*f(x)-(f'(x))^2}{(f(x))^2} + \left(\frac{f'(x)}{f(x)}\right)^2 + p^2\\\\\frac{f''(x)*f(x)-(f'(x))^2}{(f(x))^2} +\frac{(f'(x))^2}{(f(x))^2} + p^2\\\\\frac{f''(x)*f(x)-(f'(x))^2+(f'(x))^2}{(f(x))^2} + p^2\\\\\frac{f''(x)*f(x)}{(f(x))^2} + p^2\\\\[/tex]
Note the cancellation of -(f ' (x))^2 with (f ' (x))^2
------------------------------------
Let's then replace f '' (x) with -p^2*f(x)
This allows us to form ( f(x) )^2 in the numerator to cancel out with the denominator.
[tex]\frac{f''(x)*f(x)}{(f(x))^2} + p^2\\\\\frac{-p^2*f(x)*f(x)}{(f(x))^2} + p^2\\\\\frac{-p^2*(f(x))^2}{(f(x))^2} + p^2\\\\-p^2 + p^2\\\\0\\\\[/tex]
So this concludes the proof that [tex]\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} + \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2 + p^2 = 0\\\\[/tex] when [tex]y = \ln\left(\sin(px)+\cos(px)\right)\\\\[/tex]
Side note: This is an example of showing that the given y function is a solution to the given second order linear differential equation.

The regression analysis can be summarized as follows: Multiple Choice No significant relationship exists between the variables. A significant negative relationship exists between the variables. For every unit increase in x, y decreases by 12.8094. A significant positive relationship exists between the variables
Answers
Answer:
A significant negative relationship exists between the variables
Step-by-step explanation:
Base on the information given in the question which goes thus : For every unit increase in x, y decreases by 12.8094. The value 12.8094 is the slope which is the rate of change in y variable per unit change in the independent variable. The sign or nature of the slope Coefficient gives an hint about the relationship between the x and y variables. The slope Coefficient in this case is negative and thus we'll have a negative relationship between the x and y variables (an increase in x leads to a corresponding decrease in y). This is a negative association.

Suppose f(x)=x^2. What is the graph of g(x)=1/2f(x)?
Answers
9514 1404 393
Answer:
see attached
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph of g(x) is a vertically scaled version of the graph of f(x). The scale factor is 1/2, so vertical height at a given value of x is 1/2 what it is for f(x). This will make the graph appear shorter and fatter than for f(x).
The graph of g(x) is attached.
Use the functions below to complete Parts 1 and 2.
f(x)= |x| g(x)= |x+2| - 3
Part 1: Graph f(x) and g(x) on the grid below. Label each graph.
HINT: Making a table of values for each function may help you to graph them.
Part 2: describe how the graph of g(x) relates to the graph of its parent function, f(x).
HINT: Think about how f(x) was shifted to get g(x).

Find the sample size necessary to estimate the mean arrival delay time for all American Airlines flights from Dallas to Sacramento to within 6 minutes with 95% confidence. Based on a previous study, arrival delay times have a standard deviation of 39.6 minutes.
Answers
Answer:
The sample size necessary is of 168.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/tex]
Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].
That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so Z = 1.96.
Now, find the margin of error M as such
[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.
Based on a previous study, arrival delay times have a standard deviation of 39.6 minutes.
This means that [tex]\sigma = 39.6[/tex]
Find the sample size necessary to estimate the mean arrival delay time for all American Airlines flights from Dallas to Sacramento to within 6 minutes with 95% confidence.
This is n for which M = 6. So
[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]6 = 1.96\frac{39.6}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]6\sqrt{n} = 1.96*39.6[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*39.6}{6}[/tex]
[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*39.6}{6})^2[/tex]

What is the minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval? Round your answer up to the next integer.
Answers
Answer:
The minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval is 295.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/tex]
Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].
That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so Z = 1.96.
Now, find the margin of error M as such
[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.
Variance of 0.49:
This means that [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{0.49} = 0.7[/tex]
They want to construct a 95% confidence interval with an error of no more than 0.08. What is the minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval?
The minimum sample size is n for which M = 0.08. So
[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]0.08 = 1.96\frac{0.7}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]0.08\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.7[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*0.7}{0.08}[/tex]
[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*0.7}{0.08})^2[/tex]
[tex]n = 294.1[/tex]

Let f(x) = 5 + 12x − x^3. Find (a) the x- coordinate of all inflection points, (b)
the open intervals on which f is concave up, (c) the open intervals on which
f is concave down.
Answers
Answer:
A) x = 0.
B) f is concave up for (-∞, 0).
C) f is concave down for (0, ∞).
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the function:
[tex]f(x)=5+12x-x^3[/tex]
A)
We want to find the x-coordinates of all inflection points.
Recall that inflections points (may) occur when the second derivative equals zero. Hence, find the second derivative. The first derivative is given by:
[tex]f'(x) = 12-3x^2[/tex]
And the second:
[tex]f''(x) = -6x[/tex]
Set the second derivative equal to zero:
[tex]0=-6x[/tex]
And solve for x. Hence:
[tex]x=0[/tex]
We must test the solution. In order for it to be an inflection point, the second derivative must change signs before and after. Testing x = -1:
[tex]f''(-1) = 6>0[/tex]
And testing x = 1:
[tex]f''(1) = -6<0[/tex]
Since the signs change for x = 0, x = 0 is indeed an inflection point.
B)
Recall that f is concave up when f''(x) is positive, and f is concave down when f''(x) is negative.
From the testing in Part A, we know that f''(x) is positive for all values less than zero. Hence, f is concave up for all values less than zero. Our interval is:
[tex](-\infty, 0)[/tex]
C)
From Part A, we know that f''(x) is negative for all values greater than zero. So, f is concave down for that interval:
[tex](0, \infty)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:
Mid-segment Theorem of a triangle states that the Mid-segment in a triangle is half of the third side of the triangle.
Based on this theorem, we have: TV = ½(RS)
TV = 3n - 2
RS = n + 12
Substitute
3n - 2 = ½(n + 12)
Multiply both sides by 2
2(3n - 2) = (n + 12)
6n - 4 = n + 12
Collect like terms
6n - n = 4 + 12
5n = 16
Divide both sides by 5

Answers
Answer:
A sample of 18 is required.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.92}{2} = 0.04[/tex]
Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].
That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.04 = 0.96[/tex], so Z = 1.88.
Now, find the margin of error M as such
[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.
A previous study indicated that the standard deviation was 2.2 days.
This means that [tex]\sigma = 2.2[/tex]
How large a sample must be selected if the company wants to be 92% confident that the true mean differs from the sample mean by no more than 1 day?
This is n for which M = 1. So
[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]1 = 1.88\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{n} = 1.88*2.2[/tex]
[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (1.88*2.2)^2[/tex]
[tex]n = 17.1[/tex]
Rounding up:
A sample of 18 is required.

A ball is thrown from an initial height of 7 feet with an initial upward velocity of 23 ft/s. The ball's height h (in feet) after 1 seconds is given by the following.
h = 7+23t-16t^2
Find all values of 1 for which the ball's height is 15 feet.
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If we are looking for the time(s) that the ball is at a height of 15, we simply sub in a 15 for the height in the position equation and solve for t:
[tex]15=-16t^2+23t+7[/tex] and
[tex]0=-16t^2+23t-8[/tex]
Factor this however you factor a quadratic in class to get
t = .59 seconds and t = .85 seconds.
This means that .59 seconds after the ball was thrown into the air it was 15 feet off the ground. Then the ball reached its max height, gravity took over, and began pulling it back down to earth. The ball passes the height of 15 feet again on its way down after .85 seconds.

Answer:
[tex]P(-1.72<Z<1.72)=0.9146[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Population mean \mu=91
Sample Mean \=x =2.08
Standard Deviation \sigma=10
Sample size n=68
Generally the Probability that The sample mean would differ from the population mean
P(|\=x-\mu|<2.08)
From Table
[tex]P(|\=x-\mu|<2.08)=P(|z|<1.72)[/tex]
T Test
[tex]Z=\frac{\=x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]
[tex]Z=\frac{2.08}{\frac{10}{\sqrt{68} } }[/tex]
[tex]Z=1.72[/tex]
[tex]P(|\=x-\mu|<2.08)=P(|z|<1.72)[/tex]
[tex]P(-1.72<Z<1.72)[/tex]
Therefore From Table
[tex]P(-1.72<Z<1.72)=0.9146[/tex]
