Answer 1

Really hard to make it out, especially the upper limit of the sum, but I think it reads

[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^n5k-42[/tex]

(not sure what [tex]n[/tex] is, but that's not very important)

Expand the sum as

[tex]\displaystyle5\sum_{k=1}^nk-42\sum_{k=1}^n1[/tex]

Recall that

[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^n1=1+1+\cdots+1=n[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^nk=1+2+\cdots+n=\dfrac{n(n+1)}2[/tex]

so that

[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^n5k-42=\dfrac{5n(n+1)}2-42n[/tex]

Then just plug in whatever [tex]n[/tex] happens to be.

a carpenter agrees to work under the condition that she is to be paid $55 every day she works and she must pay $66 every day she does not work. at the end of 30 days, she finds she has earned 77$. how many days did she work?

Answers

Answer:

17 days

Step-by-step explanation:

For each day she works, she earns +55 and each day she DOES NOT work she earns -66. Total 30 days.

Let number of days she works be x

thus, number of days she DOES NOT work is 30 - x

We can setup an equation as:

55(x) + -66(30-x) = 77

This means, she works x days for 55 each and 30 - x days getting -66 each, totalling 77.

We can solve for x to find number of days she worked. Work shown below:

[tex]55(x) + -66(30-x) = 77\\55x-66(30)+66x=77\\121x -1980 = 77\\121x = 77+1980\\121x = 2057\\x=\frac{2057}{121}\\x=17[/tex]

Thus, she worked 17 days

Answers

Answer: Last option.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of concrete in the ramp ([tex]V_t[/tex]) will be the sum of the volume of the  rectangular prism ([tex]V_{rp}[/tex]) and the volume of the triangular prism ([tex]V_{tp}[/tex])

[tex]V_t=V_{rp}+V_{tp}[/tex]

Where "l" is the lenght, "w" is the width and "h" is the height.

 [tex]V_{tp}=\frac{bhl}{2}[/tex]

Where "l" is the lenght, "b" is the base and "h" is the height.

Substituting, we get:

Answer:

i think it should be tan2x = 24/7, i hope i am not wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

If sin x = -3/5 and x is in quadrant 3, then tan 2x = 24/7.

How to estimate the value of tan 2x?

Given:

[tex]$Sin x = \frac{-3}{5}[/tex]

To estimate cos x by identity

[tex]$Cos^{2} x=1-Sin^{2} x[/tex]

[tex]$Cos^{2} x =1-\frac{9}{25}[/tex]

[tex]$=\frac{16}{25}[/tex]

cos x = ±(4/5)

Since x exists in Quadrant III, then cos x exists negative.

tan x = Sin x/Cos x

= (−35)/(−54) = 3/4

By using the trigonometric identity, we get

tan 2x = 2 tan x / [tex]$1-tan^{2} x[/tex]

tan 2x = (6/4) / (1−9/16)

= (6/4)(16/7)

= 24/7

Therefore, tan 2x = 24/7.

Which graph shows the correct solution for y=-3 x-y=8

Answers

Answer:

"Third graph" in the attached picture.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct graph would be the "intersection" of the lines:

y = -3, and

x - y = 8

We know, y = -3 is a horizontal line at y = -3 and the next is a line. By looking at the first equation, we can eliminate 2 graphs and thus find the correct graph.

y = -3 is a horizontal line at y = -3, the first graph has the line y = 3, so we can eliminate this even without looking at the graph of 2nd equation.

The second graph has a vertical line, no horizontal, so we can eliminate this choice as well.

The third graph has y = -3 (horizontal line at y = -3) and thus this is the correct choice. Also, x - y = 8 means y = x -8, which is the other graph shown.

correct answer is the "third graph".

Answer: last option.

Step-by-step explanation:

 The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Where m is the slope and b the intersection with the y-axis.

The line [tex]y=-3[/tex] is a line with slope 0 that cut the y-axis at (0,-3)

Solve for y from the second equation:

[tex]x-y=8\\x-8=y[/tex]

The line [tex]y=x-8[/tex] is a line with slope 1 that cut the y-axis at (0,-8)

You can identify these lines in the last graph, where the point of intersection between them is the solution of the system of equations.

A density curve for all the possible ages between 0 years 50 years is in the shape of a triangle,what is the height of the triangle

Answers

Answer: The answer is 0.04

Step-by-step explanation:

Final answer:

To determine the height of a triangle-shaped density curve spanning from 0 to 50 years, we use the fact that the area under the density curve must equal 1. The equation (50 * height) / 2 = 1 allows us to solve for the height, which is 0.04 on the probability density scale.

Explanation:

To determine the height of the triangle representing a density curve for possible ages, we need some information about the properties of that triangle and density curves in general. A density curve shows how the proportion of a particular measurement (in this case, ages) is spread out over a range. The area under a density curve must equal 1 (or 100%) since it represents the total probability distribution.

In this scenario, we have a triangle as a density curve stretching from 0 to 50 years, which suggests that 0 and 50 are the bounds of our variable (age). The base of the triangle spans these 50 years. If we assume a right-angled triangle for simplicity's sake (which isn't specified in the question but is a common assumption), then the area of the triangle, which represents the probability, would be (base * height) / 2.

To ensure that the total area under the curve equals 1, we set up the following equation: (50 * height) / 2 = 1. Solving this equation for height gives us height = 2 / 50, which simplifies to height = 0.04. Therefore, the height of the density triangle is 0.04 on whatever scale is being used for probability density (e.g., per year).

2h+2f=10.50

4h+3f=19.50

Step-by-step explanation:

2h+2f=10.50

4h+3f=19.50

• To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation.

{2h2f=10.5,4h3f=19.5}

• Choose one of the equations and solve it for h by isolating h on the left hand side of the equal sign.

2h+2f=10.5

• Subtract 2f from both sides of the equation.

2h=−2f+10.5

• Divide both sides by 2.

h=1/2 (−2f+10.5)

• Multiply 1/2  times −2f+10.5.

h=−f+21/4

• Substitute −f+21/4  for h in the other equation, 4h+3f=19.5.

4(−f+21/4)+3f=19.5

• Multiply 4 times −f+21/4.

−4f+21+3f=19.5

• Add −4f to 3f.

−f+21=19.5

• Subtract 21 from both sides of the equation.

−f=−1.5

• Divide both sides by −1.

f=1.5

• Substitute 1.5 for f in h=−f+21/4. Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for h directly.

h=−1.5+21/4

• Add 21/4  to −1.5 by finding a common denominator and adding the numerators. Then reduce the fraction to lowest terms if possible.

h=15/4  

A machine is set up to cut metal strips of varying lengths and widths based on the time (t) in minutes.

A. `a(t) = t^4 + 2t` B. `a(t) = t^4 + 2t + 3t^(5/2)` C. `a(t) = t^4 - 3t^(5/2) + 2t` D. `a(t) = t^4 + 2t - 2t^(1/2) + sqrt(t)`

Answers

Answer:

The change of area A(t) = t^4 - 3t^(5/2) + 2t ⇒ answer C

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study the problem

- The metal strip is in a shape of rectangle

- The change in length l(t) = t² - √t

- The change is the width w(t) = t² - 2t^1/2

* We must find function gives the change of area

∵ The area of the rectangle = length × width

∴ The change of rate of area A(t) = l(t) × w(t)

- We can write the √t in exponential form t^1/2

∴ l(t) = t² - t^1/2

∵ w(t) = t² - 2t^1/2

∵ A = l × w

∴ A(t) = l(t) × w(t)

∴ [tex]A(t)=(t^{2}-t^{\frac{1}{2}})(t^{2}-2t^{\frac{1}{2}})[/tex]⇒use the foil method

∴ [tex]A(t)=(t^{2})(t^{2})+(t^{2})(-2t^{\frac{1}{2}})+(-t^{\frac{1}{2}})(t^{2})+(-t^{\frac{1}{2}})(-2t^{\frac{1}{2}})[/tex]

- If we multiply two same numbers have exponents, then we add

 the power of them

∴ [tex]A(t)=(t^{2+2})-2t^{2+\frac{1}{2}}-t^{\frac{1}{2}+2}+2t^{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}}[/tex]

∴ [tex]A(t)=t^{4}-2t^{\frac{5}{2}}-t^{\frac{5}{2}}+2t[/tex]

* Now lets add the like terms

∴ [tex]A(t)=t^{4}-3t^{\frac{5}{2}}+2t[/tex]

* The change of area A(t) = t^4 - 3t^(5/2) + 2t

Answers

Answer: Option B.  Ellipse

[tex]\frac{(x-\frac{1}{4})^2}{\frac{129}{16}}+\frac{(y-0)^2}{\frac{129}{32}}=1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To know what type of conic section the function is

[tex]2x ^ 2-9x + 4y ^ 2 + 8x = 16[/tex] we must simplify it.

[tex]2x ^ 2-9x + 4y ^ 2 + 8x = 16\\\\2x^2 -x +4y^2 =16[/tex]

complete the square of the expression:

[tex]2x ^ 2 -x\\\\\\2(x^2 -\frac{1}{2}x)\\\\2(x^2-\frac{1}{2}x +\frac{1}{16})-2\frac{1}{16}\\\\2(x-\frac{1}{4})^2 -\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

So we have

[tex]2(x-\frac{1}{4})^2 -\frac{1}{8}+4y^2 =16\\\\2(x-\frac{1}{4})^2+4y^2 =\frac{129}{8}\\\\\frac{8}{129}[2(x-\frac{1}{4})^2] +\frac{8}{129}[4y^2] =1\\\\\frac{16(x-\frac{1}{4})^2}{129}+\frac{32(y-0)^2}{129}=1[/tex]

[tex]\frac{(x-\frac{1}{4})^2}{\frac{129}{16}}+\frac{(y-0)^2}{\frac{129}{32}}=1[/tex]

We know that the general equation of an ellipse has the form

[tex]\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2} +\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1[/tex]

Then the equation

[tex]\frac{(x-\frac{1}{4})^2}{\frac{129}{16}}+\frac{(y-0)^2}{\frac{129}{32}}=1[/tex]

is an ellipse with center [tex](\frac{1}{4}, 0)[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

A)

62/3 = 20.67 hours

B)

60.00 hours

C)

2074.29 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume the earth is a perfect circle, then in a complete rotation the earth covers 360 degrees or 2π radians.

A)

In 24 hours the earth rotates through an angle of 360 degrees. We are required to determine the duration it takes to rotate through 310 degrees. Let x be the duration it takes the earth to rotate through 310 degrees, then the following proportions hold;

(24/360) = (x/310)

solving for x;

x = (24/360) * 310 = 62/3 = 20.67 hours

B)

In 24 hours the earth rotates through an angle of 2π radians. We are required to determine the duration it takes to rotate through 5π radians. Let x be the duration it takes the earth to rotate through 5π radians, then the following proportions hold;

(24/2π radians) = (x/5π radians)

Solving for x;

x = (24/2π radians)*5π radians = 60 hours

C)

If the diameter of the earth is 7920 miles, then in 24 hours a point on the equator will rotate through a distance equal to the circumference of the Earth. Using the formula for the circumference of a circle we have;

circumference = 2*π*R = π*D

                         = 7920π miles

Therefore, the speed of the earth is approximately;

(7920π miles)/(24 hours) = 330π miles/hr

The distance covered by a point in 2 hours will thus be;

330π * 2 = 660π miles = 2074.29 miles

Answer:

66

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the second angle

3x is the first angle

x+70 is the third angle

x+3x+x+70=180

5x = 110

x= 22

first angle: 3x = 3*22 = 66

Answer:

Second angle: 22°

And the other angles are:

First angle: 66°

Third angle: 92°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be:

[tex]x[/tex] the measure of the second angle.

[tex]3x[/tex] the measure of the first angle.

[tex](x+70)[/tex]: the measure of the third angle.

Then, knowing that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees, you can write this expression and solve for "x",to calculate the measure of the second angle:

[tex]x+3x+(x+70)=180\\5x+70=180\\5x=180-70\\\\x=\frac{110}{5}\\\\x=22\°[/tex]

You can also know that:

First angle:

[tex]3x=2(22\°)=66\°[/tex]

Third angle:

[tex]x+70\°=22\°+70\°=92\°[/tex]

You are given the system of equations to solve by the elimination method, which is an INCORRECT step that will NOT produce a system with the same solution?

3x + 6y = 8
4x + 2y = 10
A) subtract 6 times the second equation from 2 times the first equation
B) add 3 times the first equation and −9 times the second equation
C) multiply the first equation by 1/3
and subtract the second equation
D) multiply 6y by 1/3 in the first equation and subtract the second equation

Assignment 01.11 Estimating
Step 1- Read the passage Who was Leonardo da Vinci?


Who was Leonardo da Vinci?
Leonardo da Vinci trained as a painter during the Renaissance and became a true master of the craft. His amazing powers of observation and skill as an illustrator enabled him to notice and recreate the effects he saw in nature, and added a special liveliness to all of his portraits. Curious as well as observant, he constantly tried to explain what he saw, and described many experiments to test his ideas. Because he wrote down and sketched so many of his observations in his notebooks, we know that he was among the very first to take a scientific approach towards understanding how our world works and how we see it. He had a keen eye and quick mind that led him to make important scientific discoveries, yet he never published his ideas. He was a gentle vegetarian who loved animals and despised war, yet he worked as a military engineer to invent advanced and deadly weapons. He was one of the greatest painters of the Italian Renaissance, yet he left only a handful of completed paintings.

Step 2- In the paragraph above, estimate the number of words by using the following three methods, and answer the the four questions that follow. You must show all work. Even if you have the right answer you will not get full credit without work.

Method 1 - Count the number of words in one sentence
and then multiply that number by the number of sentences in the paragraph.
Method 2 - Count the number of words in one line
and then multiply that number by the number of lines in the paragraph.
Method 3 - Find the number of words in three lines
and then divide by three to find out the average number of words in these lines.
Then multiply this by the number of lines in the paragraph.

Question 1
What is estimate of the total number of words with method 1? What sentence did you use?
Question 2
What is estimate of the total number of words with method 2? What line did you use?
Question 3
What is estimate of the total number of words with method 3?
Question 4
Which estimation method is the closest to the actual number of words?

Answers

Answer:

Q1. 168 words from sixth sentence.

Q2. 171 words from line 3.

Q3. 177 words from the first three sentences.

Q4. Method 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1.

The paragraph has seven sentences.

I chose the sixth sentence ("gentle vegetarian"). It contains 24 words.

7 sentences × (24 words/1 sentence) = 168 words

Question 2.

The passage contains 19 lines.

I chose line 3 ("amazing powers"). It contains nine words.

19 lines × (9 words/1 line) = 171 words.

Question 3.

I chose the first three lines. They contain 28 words.

Words per line = 28 words/3 lines = 9.33 words per line

Total words = 19 lines × (9.33 words/1 line) = 177 words

Question 4

The passage contains 176 words. Method 3 comes closest to the actual number of words.

4Σn=! n/n!
I understand what the denominator, n! is by definition. I just don't understand what to put for the numerator when n = !

Can anyone help me figure this out?

Answers

I think the sum is supposed to be

[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^4\frac n{n!}=\sum_{n=1}^4\frac1{(n-1)!}[/tex]

since [tex]n!=n\cdot(n-1)![/tex]. Then

[tex]\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^4\frac1{(n-1)!}=\frac1{0!}+\frac1{1!}+\frac1{2!}+\frac1{3!}[/tex]

and [tex]0!=1[/tex] by definition so that the sum has a value of [tex]\dfrac83[/tex].

Use a special triangle on the unit circle to determine the value of tan π/6.

Answers

Answer:

  D)  √3/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the point at the angle π/6 are shown as (√3/2, 1/2). The tangent of the angle is the ratio of the y-coordinate to the x-coordinate:

  tan(π/6) = (1/2)/((√3)/2) = 1/√3 = (√3)/3 . . . . matches choice D
