Find the area of the triangle with vertices (0,0,0),(−4,1,−2), and (−4,2,−3).

Answers

Answer:

0.5*sqrt33

Step-by-step explanation:

A(0,0,0) B(-4,1,-2), c(-4,2,-3)

Vector AB is (-4-0,-1-0, -2-0)= (-4,-1,-2)  The modul of AB is sqrt (4squared+

+(-1) squared+ (-2) squared)= sqrt (16+1+4)=sqrt21

Vector AC is (-4,2,-3) The modul of vector AC is equal to sqrt ((-4)squared+ 2squared+(-3)squared)= sqrt(16+4+9)= sqrt29

Vector BC is equal to (-4-(-4), 2-1, -3-(-2))= (0,1,-1)

The modul of BC is sqrt (1^2+(-1)^2)=sqrt2

Find the angle B

Ac^2= BC^2+AB^2-2*BC*AB*cosB

29= 2+21-2*sqrt2*sqrt21*cosB

29= 2+21-2*sqrt42*cosB

cosB= -3/ sqrt42

sinB= sqrt( 1-(-3/sqrt42)^2)=sqrt33/42= sqrt11/14

s=1/2* (sqrt2*sqrt21*sqrt11/14)=1/2*sqrt(42*11/14)= 0.5*sqrt33

You measure 49 turtles' weights, and find they have a mean weight of 80 ounces. Assume the population standard deviation is 6.1 ounces. Based on this, construct a 99% confidence interval for the true population mean turtle weight. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the true population mean turtle weight is between 77.76 and 82.24 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 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 - 0.99}{2} = 0.005[/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 p-value of [tex]1 - 0.005 = 0.995[/tex], so Z = 2.575.

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.

[tex]M = 2.575\frac{6.1}{\sqrt{49}} = 2.24[/tex]

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 80 - 2.24 = 77.76 ounces.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 80 + 2.24 = 82.24 ounces.

The 99% confidence interval for the true population mean turtle weight is between 77.76 and 82.24 ounces.

The​ half-life of a radioactive substance is 20 years. If you start with some amount of this​ substance, what fraction will remain in 180 years?

Answers

Answer:

1/512

Step-by-step explanation:

Let staring fraction = x

Half-life = 20 years ; this is the time taken for an element to decrease to half of its original size

Hence,

After 20 years - - - > x/2

After 40 years - - - - > x/2 ÷ 2 = x/2 * 1/2 = x /4

After 60 years - - - - > x/4 ÷ 2 = x/4 * 1/2 = x/8

After 80 years - - - - -> x/8 ÷ 2 = x/8 * 1/2 = x / 16

After 100 years - - - > x/16 * 1/2 = x/32

After 120 years - - - - > x/32 * 1/2 = x/64

After 140 years - - - - -> x / 64 * 1/2 = x / 128

After 160 years - - - - - > x / 128 * 1/2 = x/256

After 180 years - - - - > x/256 * 1/2 = x / 512

Hence, the fraction after 180 years = 1/512

Answer:

18.84 feet.  let me know if you have ay other questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The way to find the formula for circumference is kinda complicated so it is best to ust memorize the formula, which is 2πr.  or 2 times pi times the radius.  

Your problem gives you the formula, but instead of 2 and r in it you have d, which is the diameter.

The diameter of the circle is 2 times the radius, so that's why it is replaced.

the radius is the distance from the center fo the circle to one edge, and the diameter is the distance through the circle passing through its center.  so it's the center to one end plus the center to another end.  or r+r which is also 2r.

So d = 2r, so in this problem d =6 feet.

So now the formula πd = 3.14*6 feet = 18.84 feet

Factors and rewrite the expression 25x-15​

Answers

Answer:

5(5x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The common factor in this expression is 5 so divide 5 to all the values

25/5=5

-15/5= -3

Put these values into parenthesis and leave the 5 on the left side and out of the parenthesis

5(5x-3)

Answer:

5(5x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest common factor here is 5. Divide each term by 5 and simplify.

25x/5 = 5x

15/5 = 3

Therefore, the answer is 5(5x - 3).

Find the local linear approximation L(x) of the function f(x) = 5−x^2 at x = 2.
Use this to estimate f(2.1).

Answers

Answer:

L(x)=-4x+9

L(2.1)=0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

It's asking us to find the tangent line to curve f(x) = 5−x^2 at x = 2.

Theb use this to estimate f(2.1).

To find slope of tangent line, we must differentiate and then plug in 2 for x.

f'(x)=0-2x by constant and power rule.

f'(x)=-2x

So the slope of the tangent line is -2(2)=-4.

A point on this tangent line shared by the curve is at x=2. We can find it's corresponding y-value using f(x)=5-x^2.

f(2)=5-(2)^2

f(2)=5-4

f(2)=1

So let's rephrase the question a little.

What's the equation for a line with slope -4 and goes through point (2,1).

Point-slope form y-y1=m(x-x1) where m is slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line.

Plug in our information: y-1=-4(x-2).

Distribute: y-1=-4x+8

Add 1 on both sides: y=-4x+9

Let's call this equation L(x), an expression to approximate value for f near x=2.

L(x)=-4x+9

Now the appropriation at x=2.1:

L(2.1)=-4(2.1)+9

L(2.1)=-8.4+9

L(2.1)=0.6

If we did plug in 2.1 into given function we get 5-(2.1)^2=0.59 . This is pretty close to our approximation above.

Dad is twice as old as Junior. Gramps is twice as old as Dad. The sum of the three ages is 140. How old is Gramps?​

Answers

Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start of with Junior's age. Then if dad is twice as old as Junior, then we add 2 parts and get 3 parts. Then Gramps is twice as old as Dad so we add 4 parts and get 7 parts. Now we divided 140 by 7. We get 20. This is Junior's age. By looking at that, we know Dad is 40, and Gramps is 80.

Gramps is 80 years old.

Hi! I'm happy to help!

We can say that Junior is x years old. This would mean that Dad is 2x years old, and Gramps is 4x years old. All together, their age is 7x. We can write an equation to solve.

7x=140

Divide both sides by 7 to find out x.

x=20

This means that Junior is 20 years old. Dad is double that, so he is 40 years old. And Gramps is double that so he is 80 years old.

To check our answer we can add all of them together.

20+40+80

140

This means that Gramps is 80 years old.

Last week, you spoke with 800 customers in 40 hours."
Employee: "That is an average of __________ customers every 30 minutes."

Answers

Answer:

10 customers

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

Each hour has 60 minutes, so two half hour (30 minute) blocks. Thus, 1 hour = 2 half hours, so 40 hours = 80 half hours.

800 customers in 80 half hours, divide that:

800 customers / 80 half hours = 10 customers / half hour

So, your answer is 10 customers every half hour, or 10 customers every 30 minutes.

Average is [tex]10[/tex] customers per hour

Average is a single number taken as representative of a list of numbers, usually the sum of the numbers divided by how many numbers are in the list.

Total number of customers [tex]=800[/tex]

a. Fail to reject the null hypothesis
b. Reject the null hypothesis

Answers

We are testing a hypothesis. So, first we identify the null and the alternative hypothesis, then we find the test statistic, and with the test statistic, the p-value is found.

Null and alternative hypothesis:

Claim the the proportion is of 60%, thus, the null hypothesis is:

[tex]H_0: p = 0.6[/tex]

Test if the proportion is greater than 60%, thus, the alternative hypothesis is:

[tex]H_1: p > 0.6[/tex]

And the answer to the first question is given by option c.

Classification:

We are testing if the proportion is greater than a value, so it is a right-tailed test.

Test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.6 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 0.6, \sigma = \sqrt{0.4*0.6}[/tex]

Survey, conducted over a two week period, found that in a sample of 100 people, 69% of them said they are confident of meeting their goals.

This means that [tex]n = 100, X = 0.69[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{0.69 - 0.6}{\frac{\sqrt{0.4*0.6}}{\sqrt{100}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = 1.837[/tex]

The test statistic is z = 1.837.

p-value:

The p-value of the test is the probability of finding a sample proportion above 0.69, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of z = 1.837.

Looking at the z-table, z = 1.837 has a p-value of 0.9669.

1 - 0.9669 = 0.0331

The p-value is 0.0331.

Decision:

The p-value of the test is 0.0331 > 0.01, and thus:

a. Fail to reject the null hypothesis
