Answer:

Answer:

a) k = 0.1875 m

b) r2 = 0.46875 m

c) q = -1.125*10^-8 C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The total Length of rod L = 1.5 m

- The total charge of the rod Q = -9 * 10^8 C

- Total section of a rod n = 8

Find:

1. What is the length of one of these pieces?

2. What is the location of the center of piece number 2?

3. How much charge is on piece number 2?

Solution:

- The entire rod is divided into 8 pieces, so the length of each piece would be k:

                                     k = L / n

                                     k = 1.5 / 8

                                     k = 0.1875 m

- The distance from center of entire rod and center of section 2 is 2.5 times the section length

                                     r2 = 2.5*k

                                     r2 = 2.5*(0.1875)

                                     r2 = 0.46875 m

- Assuming the charge on the rod is uniformly distributed. The the charge for each section of rod is given by q:

                                     q = Q / n

                                     q = -9 * 10^8 / 8

                                     q = -1.125*10^-8 C

The length of one of the eight pieces of the rod is 0.1875 m. The center of piece number 2 is at <0.28125, 0, 0> m. The charge on piece number 2 is -1.125e-08 Coulombs.

Answer:

O(n2)

Step-by-step explanation:

the first iteration algorithm of the i-for loop (the outer loop), the j-for loop (the inner loop) will run 2 to

n times which is represented as

(n − 1 times).

the second iteration algorithm of the i-for loop, the j-for loop will run 3 to n times represented as

(n − 2 times).

the third to the last iteration algorithm of the i-for loop, the j-for loop will run n − 1 to n times (2 times).

And the second to the last iteration of the i-for loop, the j-for loop will run from n to n times (1 time)

For the last iteration of the i-for loop, the j-for loop will run 0 times because i + 1 > n.

Now we know that the number of times the loops are run is

1 + 2 + 3 + . . . + (n − 2) + (n − 1) = n(n − 1)/2

So we can express the number of total iterations as n(n − 1)/2.

Since we have two operations per loop (one comparison and one multiplication), we have

2 ·n(n−1)/2 = n

2 − n operations.

So f(n) = n2 − n

f(n) ≤ n2

for n > 1.

Therefore, the algorithm is O(n2) with

C = 1 and k = 1.

Answer:

(a) V(0) = 50 gal, V(20) = 0 gal

(b)At t= 0 the tank is full.

At t=0 the tank is empty

(c)

Time       volume

 0               50 gal

 15             12.5 gal

20                0 gal

(d)

Net change of volume = 50 gal

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the capacity of the tank is 50 gal.

Torricelli's Law gives the volume of water remaining in the tank after t minutes as

[tex]V(t)=50(1-\frac{t}{20})^2[/tex]

(a)

To find V(0), we put t = 0 in the above equation

[tex]V(0)=50(1-\frac{0}{20})^2[/tex]

        [tex]=50(1-0)^2[/tex]

        = 50 gal

To find V(20), we put t =2 0 in the above equation

[tex]V(20)=50(1-\frac{20}{20})^2[/tex]

        [tex]=50(1-1)^2[/tex]

        = 0 gal

(b)

At t= 0 the tank is full.

At t=0 the tank is empty.

(c)

  0                                  [tex]50(1-\frac{0}{20})^2=50 \ gal[/tex]

  5                                  [tex]50(1-\frac{5}{20})^2=37.5 \ gal[/tex]

 10                                  [tex]50(1-\frac{10}{20})^2=25 \ gal[/tex]

 15                                 [tex]50(1-\frac{15}{20})^2=12.5 \ gal[/tex]

 20                                [tex]50(1-\frac{20}{20})^2=0[/tex]

(d)

Net change of volume = V(0) -V(20)

                                     =(50-0) gal

                                    = 50 gal

The volume V(t) of water remaining in the tank after t minutes is given by V(t) = 50(1−t/20). V(0) represents the initial volume of water in the tank, which is 50 gallons. V(20) represents the volume of water remaining in the tank after 20 minutes, which is 0 gallons.

(a) To find V(0), substitute t = 0 into the equation V(t) = 50(1−t/20).

V(0) = 50(1−0/20) = 50(1−0) = 50(1) = 50

Similarly, to find V(20), substitute t = 20 into the equation V(t) = 50(1−t/20).

V(20) = 50(1−20/20) = 50(1−1) = 50(0) = 0

(b) V(0) represents the initial volume of water in the tank, which is 50 gallons. V(20) represents the volume of water remaining in the tank after 20 minutes, which is 0 gallons.

(c) Creating a table of values of V(t) for t = 0, 5, 10, 15, 20:

t | V(t)

--------------------

0 | 50

5 | 37.5

10 | 25

15 | 12.5

20 | 0

(d) The net change in volume V as t changes from 0 min to 20 min is V(20) - V(0).

V(20) - V(0) = 0 - 50 = -50 gallons

Answer:

She makes 7.8% portion of sales collectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume she makes total of 100 calls.

The percentage of calls which are busy or unanswered = 22 %

So, now calculating 22% of 100 , we get:

[tex]\frac{22}{100} \times 100 = 22[/tex]

So, 22 of her calls are UNANSWERED.

Now, let us find out the number of calls successfully made by telemarketer.

Total successful calls = Total Calls made - Number of unanswered calls

                                    = 100 - 22  = 78

So, she makes a total of 78 calls successfully.

Now, he sells subscriptions to 10% of the 78 calls made successfully.

So, now calculating 10% of 78 , we get:

[tex]\frac{10}{100} \times 78 = 7.8[/tex]

So, she sold 7.8 subscriptions in total out of 100 attempts.

Also, as we know 7.8 out of 100  = 7.8% of 100.

Hence, she makes 7.8% portion of sales collectively.

Answer: the lengths are 20 feet, 23 feet and 37 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the shorter side of the triangular deck.

The second side of a triangular deck is 3 feet longer than the shortest​ side. This means that the length of the second side is (x + 3) feet.

The third side is 3 feet shorter than twice the length of the shortest side. This means that the length of the third of the triangle is (2x - 3) feet.

If the perimeter of the deck is 80 ​feet, it means that

x + x + 3 + 2x - 3 = 80

4x = 80

x = 80/4

x = 20

The length of the second side is

20 + 3 = 23 feet

The length of the third side is

20 × 2 - 3 = 40 - 3 = 37 feet

Let the number of dimes be '2x-10'.

Total amount = $2.75

According to question, we get that

[tex]0.1(2x-10)+0.05x=2.75\\\\0.2x-1+0.05x=2.75\\\\0.25x=2.75+1\\\\0.25x=3.75\\\\x=\dfrac{3.75}{0.25}\\\\x=15[/tex]

Hence, there are 15 nickles and [tex]2x-10=2(15)-10=30-10=20[/tex] dimes.

Therefore, there are 15 nickles and 20 dimes.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the info given as (x, y) coordinates with the number of hours as x and the number of miles as y.  The first coordinate then is (2, 22) and the second is (5, 55).  The rate at which the bee flies is the same as the slope of the coordinates.

[tex]\frac{55-22}{5-2}=11[/tex]

This means that the bee flies 11 miles per hour.  Use either one of the coordinates now to find the equation for the line.  I pick (2, 22) and point-slope form:

y - 22 = 11(x - 2) and

y - 22 = 11x - 22 so

y = 11x

That's the equation.  If we want to use it as a model, we can find how many miles it will fly in a given time, or how long it will take to fly a given number of miles.  We are asked to find how far it can fly in 4 hours.  So we will use our equation and replace x with 4:

y = 11(4) so

y = 44 miles

Here, given:

Let us assume the number on Tens place  = M

The number in Units place  = N

So, the actual value of the number   = 10 M + N

The number can be written as MN.

So, M  = 1, 2 , 3 or 4  ( 0 not included)

Also, The value of N(Unit digit)  is greater than 7.

So, N  = 8, 9 or 0  ( 0  included)

Answer:   [tex]\bold{(a)\quad \dfrac{32}{3}\qquad (b)\quad \dfrac{32}{3}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) First, find the x-coordinates where the two equations cross

                            y = -1    and   y = 3 - x²

  -1 = 3 - x²

 -4 =     -x²

  4 =       x²

± 2 =       x       → These are the upper and lower limits of your integral

Then subtract the two equations and integrate with upper bound of x = 2 and lower bound of x = -2

[tex]\int_{-2}^{+2}[(3-x^2)-(-1)]dx\\\\\\=\int_{-2}^2(4-x^2)dx\\\\\\=4x-\dfrac{x^3}{3}\bigg|_{-2}^{+2}\\\\\\=\bigg(8-\dfrac{8}{3}\bigg)-\bigg(-8+\dfrac{8}{3}\bigg)\\\\\\=\large\boxed{\dfrac{32}{3}}[/tex]

(b) We know the upper and lower bounds of the y-axis as y = 3 and y = -1

Next, find the equation that we need to integrate by solving for x.

      y = 3 - x²

x² + y = 3

x²       = 3 - y

x         [tex]=\pm\sqrt{3-y}\\[/tex]

Modular division is used to find remainders in mathematics, but it is not used for dividing polynomials or dividing by zero. It's also not useful for dividing vectors in physics.

Modular division is a mathematical method used to find the remainder of a division problem, but it is not necessarily applicable in all contexts. For example, dividing a polynomial by a polynomial generally does not result in a polynomial, indicating that other methods must be used in this situation. Furthermore, it's important to note that modular division cannot be used to divide by zero, since this is undefined in mathematics. Additionally, within the discipline of physics, modular division is not applicable for operations such as dividing a vector by another vector component by component, as there are no useful physics applications for this type of operation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Below is an attachment containing the solution.

Paulina and Aliya's equations, 4x+2y=6 and 12x+6y=18, are multiples of each other. This means they represent the same line and indicate an infinite number of solutions rather than a single intersection point typically sought after in a system of distinct linear equations.

Paulina and Aliya have created linear equations to solve a mathematical problem. Paulina has the equation 4x+2y=6 and Aliya has 12x+6y=18. At a glance, these equations may look different, but upon closer inspection, Aliya's equation is actually just Paulina's equation multiplied by 3. This realization is pertinent because it suggests both equations represent the same line. Therefore, these two equations should have the same solution set.

To analytically solve simultaneous equations, one could use methods such as substitution, elimination, or matrix and determinant-based approaches. Using elimination or substitution, we aim to isolate one variable and solve for it. For example, because Aliya's equation is a multiple of Paulina's, if they were meant to be a system of separate lines, one way to solve them would be to simplify Aliya's equation by dividing by 3, revealing it to be identical to Paulina's, which indicates that this system has an infinite number of solutions (all points on the line represented by the equation).

If a system has two distinct equations, elimination involves adding or subtracting equations from one another to eliminate one of the variables, and substitution involves solving for one variable in terms of the other and then substituting this expression into the other equation. When equations are actually multiples of each other, this indicates either an infinite number of solutions or no solutions dependant if the equations are consistent or inconsistent respectively.

Answer:

general admission tickets  1170

courtside tickets  985

tickets bench seats.  130

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the problem, it is necessary to generate a system of equations with the information provided by the statement.

First be

x = # general admission tickets

y = # courtside tickets

z = # tickets bench seats.

The first equation would be that they sold nine times more general admission tickets than bench seats tickets.

That is: x = 9 * z (1)

And the second equation is that the number of general admission tickets sold was 55 more than the sum of the number of courtside tickets and bench seats tickets.

That is: x = 55 + y + z (2)

Now the third equation would be the money raised.

28 * x + 43 * y + 173 * z = 97605 (3)

Now if I replace I rearrange (1):

z = x / 9 (4) and replacement in 2, I have:

x = 55 + y + x / 9, rearranging:

y = (8/9) * x - 55 (5)

Now replacing (4) and (5) in 3, we have:

28 * x + 43 * ((8/9) * x - 55) + 173 * (x / 9) = 97605

Solving the above:

x = 1170, therefore

y = (8/9) * 1170 55 = 985

z = 1170/9 = 130

We can confirm this with equation (3)

28 * x + 43 * y + 173 * z = 97605

28 * 1170 + 43 * 985 + 173 * 130 = 97605

450 general admission tickets, 171 courtside tickets, and 50 bench tickets were sold for the Harlem Globetrotter show.

Let's assign variables to represent the number of tickets sold for each category:

Lets  x  = number of general admission tickets sold

Lets  y   = number of courtside tickets sold

Lets  z  = number of bench tickets sold

According to the given information:

The cost of the general admission ticket = $28

The cost of the courtside ticket = $43

The cost of the bench ticket = $173

There were 9 times as many general admission tickets sold as bench tickets: x = 9z

The number of general admission tickets sold was 55 more than the sum of the courtside and bench tickets: x = y + z + 55

The total sales for all three types of tickets was $97,605: 28x + 43y + 173z = 97605

Now, we have a system of three equations with three variables:

x = 9z

x = y + z + 55

28x + 43y + 173z = 97605

We can use substitution or elimination method to solve this system of equations. Solving this system, we find that x = 450, y = 171, and z = 50. Therefore, 450 general admission tickets, 171 courtside tickets, and 50 bench tickets were sold for the Harlem Globetrotter show.

The decay factor of the exponential function represented by the provided table is 1/3 as the ratio of the consecutive y-values of the function is consistently 1/3.

The decay factor of an exponential function can be found by comparing the ratio of the y-values of the function.

In the given question, a table of x/f(x) values is provided.

A decay happens if the ratios of the consecutive y-values (outputs) are consistently less than 1.

Let's find the ratio between successive y-values. Between 18 and 6, the ratio is 6/18 = 1/3. Going from 6 to 2, the ratio is 2/6 = 1/3. Lastly, transitioning from 2 to 2/3, the ratio is (2/3)/2 = 1/3.

Since we find the ratio of successive outputs (y-values) to consistently be 1/3, it is safe to say that 1/3 is the decay factor for the exponential function represented by the given table.

Answer:

  12.37 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the dartboard can be figured from the diameter as ...

   A = (π/4)d² = (π/4)(17.75 in)² ≈ 247.4495 in²

There are 20 sectors, all the same size, so the area of one of them is ...

  sector area = (1/2)(247.4495 in²) ≈ 12.37 in²

From the given info (and the linked question) we find

[tex]\cos\alpha=-\dfrac5{13}[/tex]

[tex]\sin\alpha=\dfrac{12}{13}[/tex]

[tex]\sin\beta=-\dfrac45[/tex]

Then using the angle-sum identity for cosine, we have

[tex]\cos(\alpha-\beta)=\cos\alpha\cos\beta+\sin\alpha\sin\beta[/tex]

[tex]\cos(\alpha-\beta)=\left(-\dfrac5{13}\right)\dfrac35+\dfrac{12}{13}\left(-\dfrac45\right)=-\dfrac{63}{65}[/tex]

Final answer:

To find the exact value of cos(α-β), we use the cosine sum and difference identity and the respective sine and cosine values calculated from the given tangent and cosine values for angles α and β. Using this approach, we find that cos(α-β) equals 63/65.

Explanation:

The exact value of cos(α-β) can be found by using the sum and difference identities for cosine. Since tanα = -12/5, in quadrant II, we can find the corresponding sine and cosine values for α using the Pythagorean identity sin²α + cos²α = 1. For cosβ = 3/5, in quadrant IV, we do a similar procedure to find the sine of β. With both sine and cosine for α and β, we use the identity cos(A-B) = cosA cosB + sinA sinB to find cos(α-β).

To find the sine and cosine for α, given that tanα = -12/5, we know that the opposite side is -12, and the adjacent side is 5, so the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean theorem is √(12² + 5²) = √(144+25) = √169 = 13. Thus sinα = -12/13 (negative because α lies in the second quadrant where sine is negative) and cosα = 5/13 (positive because cosine in the second quadrant is positive).

For β, we already have cosβ = 3/5. The sine can be found using the Pythagorean identity 1 - cos²β = sin²β, which gives sinβ = -√(1 - (3/5)�) = -√(1 - 9/25) = -√(16/25) = -4/5 (negative because β is in the fourth quadrant where sine is negative).

Now, we can find the exact value of cos(α-β) by plugging in the values:

cos(α-β) = cosα cosβ + sinα sinβ = (5/13)*(3/5) + (-12/13)*(-4/5)
= 15/65 + 48/65 = 63/65.

Therefore, the exact value of cos(α-β) is 63/65.

Final answer:

The antique purchased by Juan increases in value by 10% each year. The value of the antique after 2 years can be found by calculating the expression $200a, where a is a constant. The value of [tex]\( a \) is \( 1.21 \).[/tex]

Explanation:

To find the value of a, we need to represent the annual increase of 10% in terms of multiplication.

After the first year, the value of the antique increases by [tex]\( 10\% \) of its previous value, which is \( 0.10 \times 200 \) dollars.[/tex]

After the second year, the value of the antique increases by [tex]\( 10\% \) of its value at the end of the first year, which is \( 0.10 \times (200 + 0.10 \times 200) \) dollars.[/tex]

Generally, after \( n \) years, the value of the antique will be [tex]\( 200 \times (1 + 0.10)^n \) dollars.[/tex]

The expression given for the value of the antique 2  years after purchase is 200a , where a is a constant. This represents the value of the antique after 2  years.

Equating the expression to the value of the antique after 2 years, we have:

[tex]\[ 200a = 200 \times (1 + 0.10)^2 \][/tex]

Now, let's solve for \( a \):

[tex]\[ 200a = 200 \times (1.10)^2 \][/tex]

200a = 200 \times 1.21

200a = 242

Dividing both sides by 200:

[tex]\[ a = \frac{242}{200} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ a = 1.21 \][/tex]

Therefore, the value of [tex]\( a \) is \( 1.21 \).[/tex]
