Kim ran 9/10 of a mile. Adrian ran 3/5 of a mile Adrian claims that Kim ran 1 3/10 times farther than him Kim says that she actually ran 1/2 times farther than Adrian who is correct

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  Kim

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of Kim's distance to Adrian's distance is ...

  (9/10)/(3/5) = (9/10)/(6/10) = 9/6 = 3/2 = 1.5

__

You need to be very careful with the wording here. Kim ran 1 1/2 times as far as Adrian. That is, she ran Adrian's distance plus 1/2 Adrian's distance.

If we take the wording "1/2 times farther" to mean that 1/2 of Adrian's distance is added to Adrian's distance, then Kim is correct.

_____

In many Algebra problems, you will see the wording "k times farther" to mean the distance is multiplied by k. If that interpretation is used here, neither claim is correct, as Kim's distance is 1 1/2 times farther than Adrian's.

On the other hand, if the value of "k" is expressed as a percentage, the interpretation usually intended is that that percentage of the original distance is added to the original distance. Using this interpretation, Kim's distance is 50% farther than Adrian's. (Note the word "times" is missing here.)

__

Since Adrian ran 1 5/10 the distance Kim ran, Adrian's claim is incorrect regardless of the interpretation. If you require one of the two to be correct, then Kim is.

Use reduction of order to find a second linearly independent solution
(2x+5)y′′−4(x+3)y′+4y=0,x>−52,y1=e2x

Answers

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.)

There are four different colored balls in a bag. There is equal probability of selecting the red, black, green, or blue ball.What is the expected value of getting a green ball out of 20 experiments with replacement?

Answers

Answer:

The expected value is of 5 green balls.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each experiment, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is a green ball, or it is not. Since there is replacement, the probability of a green ball being taken in an experiment is independent of any other experiments, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

20 experiments

This means that [tex]n = 20[/tex]

There is equal probability of selecting the red, black, green, or blue ball.

This means that 1 in 4 are green, so [tex]p = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25[/tex]

What is the expected value of getting a green ball out of 20 experiments with replacement?

[tex]E(X) = np = 20*0.25 = 5[/tex]

The expected value is of 5 green balls.

The expected value of getting a green ball out of 20 experiments with replacement is 5.

What is a binomial distribution?

The binomial probability distribution of the number of successes in a sequence of n independent experiments is the binomial distribution with parameters n and p.

As it is given that the probability of all the balls coming out of the bag is equal. Therefore, the probability of a green ball coming can be written as,

[tex]\text{Probability of Green Ball} = 0.25[/tex]

Also, we can write the probability of not getting a green ball can also be written as,

[tex]\rm Probability(\text{Not coming Green Ball}) = P(Red\ ball)+P(Black\ ball)+P(Blue\ ball)[/tex]

                                                         [tex]=0.25+0.25+0.25\\\\=0.75[/tex]

Now, as there are only two outcomes possible, therefore, the distribution of the probability is a binomial distribution. And we know that the expected value of a binomial distribution is given as,

[tex]\rm Expected\ Value, E(x) = np[/tex]

where n is the number of trials while p represents the probability.

Now, substituting the values, we will get the expected value,

[tex]\rm Expected\ Value, E(Green\ ball) = 20 \times 0.25 = 5[/tex]

Hence, the expected value of getting a green ball out of 20 experiments with replacement is 5.

(b) Find an angle between and that is coterminal with . Give exact values for your answers.

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

Exercise 2.2.3: The cardinality of a power set. (a) What is the cardinality of P({1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6})

Answers

Answer:

Cardinality of the power set of the given set = [tex]2^6=64[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Power set is the set of all the possible subsets that can be formed from the given set including the null set and the set itself.

Example set:

{1,2,3}

All the possible subsets of this set:

{}; {1}; {2}; {3}; {1,2,3}; {1,2}; {1,3}; {2,3}

The power set of the above set is written as:

P({ {}, {1}, {2}, {3}, {1,2}, {1,3}, {2,3}, {1,2,3} })

Since the no. of elements in the above power set in this example is 8 therefore its cardinality is 8.

Cardinality of the power set of a given set is expressed by a formula: [tex]2^n[/tex]

where n is the cardinality (no. of elements) of the given set whose power set is to be formed for determining cardinality of the power set.

OA. $214.40
OB. $168.00
C. $144.40
OD. $102.40

Answers

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

The sum

Using arithmetic progression, we have:

[tex]S_n = \frac{n}{2}(T_1 + T_n)[/tex]

At what x value does the function given below have a hole?

f(x)=x+3/x2−9

Answers

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.

Let f(X) be "y".

y = (10/9) X + 11

Interchange "X" and "y".

x = (10/9) y + 11

Answers

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.
