16. The local hiking club went on a 7-day hiking trip to Denali National
Park. The group started with 98 pounds and returned with no food.
If the decreasing amount of food each day is modeled by a linear
function, what is the slope of the line?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope of the line is 14 pounds per day

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that The local hiking club went on a 7-day hiking trip to Denali National  Park.

The group started with 98 pounds

We are also given that the decreasing amount of food each day is modeled by a linear  function

On Day 1  amount of food = 98 pounds

Since day 7 was the last day

So, On Day 8 amount of food = 0

So,[tex](x_1,y_1)=(1,98)[/tex]

[tex](x_2,y_2)=(8,0)[/tex]

Slope = Constant Rate of change per unit

Slope = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{0-98}{8-1}[/tex]

So, Slope =[tex]\frac{-98}{7}[/tex]

Slope = - 14

Negative sign shows decreasing amount of food each day

Hence the slope of the line is 14 pounds per day

Two tanks are interconnected. Tank A contains 60 grams of salt in 50 liters of water, and Tank B contains 80 grams of salt in 40 liters of water.

A solution of 2 gram/L flows into Tank A at a rate of 5 L/min, while a solution of 3 grams/L flows into Tank B at a rate of 7 L/min. The tanks are well mixed.

The tanks are connected, so 8 L/min flows from Tank A to Tank B, while 3 L/min flows from Tank B to Tank A. An additional 12 L/min drains from Tank B.

Letting x represent the grams of salt in Tank A, and y represent the grams of salt in Tank B, set up the system of differential equations for these two tanks.

Answers

Let a(t) and b(t) denote the amounts of salt in tanks A and B, respectively.

The volume of liquid in tanks A and B after t minutes are

A: 50 L + (5 L/min + 3 L/min - 8 L/min)t = 50 L

B: 40 L + (7 L/min + 8 L/min - 3 L/min - 12 L/min)t = 40 L

so the amount of solution in the tanks stays constant.

Salt flows into tank A at a rate of

(2 g/L)*(5 L/min) + (b(t)/40 g/L)*(3 L/min) = (10 + 3/40 b(t)) g/min

and out at a rate of

(a(t)/50 g/L)*(8 L/min) = 4/25 a(t) g/min

so the net flow rate is given by the differential equation

[tex]\dfrac{\mathrm da(t)}{\mathrm dt}=10+\dfrac{3b(t)}{40}-\dfrac{4a(t)}{25}[/tex]

We do the same for tank B: salt flows in at a rate of

(3 g/L)*(7 L/min) + (a(t)/50 g/L)*(8 L/min) = (21 + 4/25 a(t)) g/min

and out at a rate of

(b(t)/40 g/L)*(3 L/min + 12 L/min) = 3/8 b(t) g/min

and hence with a net rate of

[tex]\dfrac{\mathrm db(t)}{\mathrm dt}=21+\dfrac{4a(t)}{25}-\dfrac{3b(t)}8[/tex]

Replace a(t) and b(t) with x and y. Then the system is (in matrix form)

[tex]\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dt}\begin{bmatrix}x\\y\end{bmatrix}=\dfrac1{200}\begin{bmatrix}-32&15\\32&-75\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}x\\y\end{bmatrix}+\begin{bmatrix}10\\21\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

with initial conditions x(0) = 60 g and y(0) = 80 g.

Hi guys, Can anyone help me with this tripple integral? Thank you:)

Answers

I don't usually do calculus on Brainly and I'm pretty rusty but this looked interesting.

We have to turn K into the limits of integration on our integrals.

Clearly 0 is the lower limit for all three of x, y and z.

Now we have to incorporate

x+y+z ≤ 1

Let's do the outer integral over x.  It can go the full range from 0 to 1 without violating the constraint.  So the upper limit on the outer integral is 1.

Next integral is over y.  y ≤ 1-x-z.   We haven't worried about z yet; we have to conservatively consider it zero here for the full range of y.  So the upper limit on the middle integration is 1-x, the maximum possible value of y given x.

Similarly the inner integral goes from z=0 to z=1-x-y

We've transformed our integral into the more tractable

[tex]\displaystyle \int_0^1 \int_0^{1-x} \int _0^{1-x-y} (x^2-z^2)dz \; dy \; dx[/tex]

For the inner integral we get to treat x like a constant.

[tex]\displaystyle \int _0^{1-x-y} (x^2-z^2)dz = (x^2z - z^3/3)\bigg|_{z=0}^{z= 1-x-y}=x^2(1-x-y) - (1-x-y)^3/3[/tex]

Let's expand that as a polynomial in y for the next integration,

[tex]= y^3/3 +(x-1) y^2 + (2x+1)y -(2x^3+1)/3[/tex]

The middle integration is

[tex]\displaystyle \int_0^{1-x} ( y^3/3 +(x-1) y^2 + (2x+1)y -(2x^3+1)/3)dy[/tex]

[tex]= y^4/12 + (x-1)y^3/3+ (2x+1)y^2/2- (2x^3+1)y/3 \bigg|_{y=0}^{y=1-x} [/tex]

[tex]= (1-x)^4/12 + (x-1)(1-x)^3/3+ (2x+1)(1-x)^2/2- (2x^3+1)(1-x)/3[/tex]

Expanding, that's

[tex]=\frac{1}{12}(5 x^4 + 16 x^3 - 36 x^2 + 16 x - 1)[/tex]

so our outer integral is

[tex]\displaystyle \int_0^1 \frac{1}{12}(5 x^4 + 16 x^3 - 36 x^2 + 16 x - 1) dx[/tex]

That one's easy enough that we can skip some steps; we'll integrate and plug in x=1 at the same time for our answer (the x=0 part doesn't contribute).

[tex]= (5/5 + 16/4 - 36/3 + 16/2 - 1)/12[/tex]

[tex]=0[/tex]

That's a surprise. You might want to check it.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are total of k students in a class, and m of those students are girls, the total amount of boys would be:

[tex]k-m=b[/tex]

(Where k, m, b are variables that represent the total number of students, the amount of girls and the amount of boys respectively)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the quadratic formula to find the value of t when h = 0, we have ...

  at² +bt +c = 0

  t = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a)

  t = (-72±√(72² -4(-16)(100)))/(2(-16))

Some shrubs have the useful ability to resprout from their roots after their tops are destroyed. Fire is a particular threat to shrubs in dry climates, as it can injure the roots as well as destroy the aboveground material. One study of resprouting took place in a dry area of Mexico. The investigation clipped the tops of samples of several species of shrubs. In some cases, they also applied a propane torch to the stumps to simulate a fire. Of 19 specimens of a particular species, 6 resprouted after fire. Estimate with 96% confidence the proportion of all shrubs of this species that will resprout after fire. Interval: .1884 to

Answers

The 96% confidence interval for the proportion of all shrubs of this species that will resprout after fire is approximately 0.1274 to 0.5042.

Here, we have,

To estimate the proportion of all shrubs of this species that will resprout after fire with 96% confidence, we will use the formula for a confidence interval for a proportion.

The formula for the confidence interval for a proportion (p) is given by:

CI = p ± Z * √(p * (1 - p) / n)

where:

CI is the confidence interval

p is the sample proportion (resprouted specimens / total specimens)

Z is the critical Z-score corresponding to the desired confidence level (96% confidence level corresponds to a Z-score of approximately 1.750)

n is the sample size (total number of specimens)

Given information:

Total number of specimens (n) = 19

Number of specimens that resprouted after fire = 6

Now, calculate the sample proportion (p):

p = (number of specimens that resprouted) / (total number of specimens)

p = 6 / 19 ≈ 0.3158 (rounded to four decimal places)

Now, calculate the critical Z-score for a 96% confidence level (use a Z-table or calculator):

Z ≈ 1.750

Now, calculate the margin of error (E):

E = Z * √(p * (1 - p) / n)

E = 1.750 * √(0.3158 * (1 - 0.3158) / 19)

E ≈ 0.1884 (rounded to four decimal places)

Finally, calculate the confidence interval:

CI = p ± E

CI = 0.3158 ± 0.1884

The 96% confidence interval for the proportion of all shrubs of this species that will resprout after fire is approximately 0.1274 to 0.5042.

students, and adults attended?

Answers

Answer:

The attendance was 198 children, 90 students and 99 adults.

Step-by-step explanation:

We define:

c: children attendance

s: students attendance

a: adult attendance

The equation that describes the total ticket sales is:

[tex]5c+7s+12a=2808[/tex]

We also know that the children attendance doubles the adult attendance:

[tex]c=2a[/tex]

The third equation is the seating capacity, which we assume is full:

[tex]c+s+a=387[/tex]

We start by replacing variables in two of the equations:

[tex]c=2a\\\\s=387-c-a=387-2a-a=387-3a[/tex]

Then, we solve the remaining equation for a:

[tex]5c+7s+12a=2808\\\\5(2a)+7(387-3a)+12a=2808\\\\10a+(2709-21a)+12a=2808\\\\10a+12a-21a=2808-2709\\\\a=99[/tex]

Then, we solve for the other two equations:

[tex]c=2a=2*99=198\\\\s=387-3a=387-3*99=387-297=90[/tex]

The attendance was 198 children, 90 students and 99 adults.

General High rented and filled 14 vans and 12 buses with 738 students. How many students would fill 2 buses and 3 vans?

Answers

Answer:

133 Students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of student in a van=v

Let the number of student in a bus=b

The senior class at Snellville rented and filled 12 vans and 14 buses with 796 students.

Therefore: 12v+14b=796

General High rented and filled 14 vans and 12 buses with 738 students.

Therefore: 14v+12b=738

We solve the two resulting equations simultaneously

12v+14b=796

14v+12b=738

Multiply equation 1 by 12 and equation 2 by 14 to eliminate b

144v+168b=9552

196v+168b=10332

Subtract

-52v=-780

Divide both sides by -52

v=15

We substitute v=15 to obtain b in any of the equations

12v+14b=796

12(15)+14b=796

14b=796-180

14b=616

Divide both sides by 14

b=44

Therefore a bus contains 44 Students and a Van contains 15 students.

Number of Students who would fill 2 buses and 3 vans

=2b+3v

=2(44)+3(15)

(Round your answer to 4 decimal places.) The test statistic (a-2) At the .01 level of significance, is the true mean greater than 10

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would set up the hypothesis test. This is a test of a single population mean since we are dealing with mean

For the null hypothesis,

µ ≤ 10

For the alternative hypothesis,

µ > 10

The inequality sign indicates that It is a right tailed.

Since the population standard deviation is not given, the distribution is a student's t.

Since n = 35,

Degrees of freedom, df = n - 1 = 35 - 1 = 34

t = (x - µ)/(s/√n)

Where

x = sample mean = 14.44

µ = population mean = 10

s = samples standard deviation = 4.45

t = (14.44 - 10)/(4.45/√35) = 5.9

We would determine the p value using the t test calculator. It becomes

p < 0.00001

Since alpha, 0.01 > than the p value, then we would reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, At a 1% level of significance, we can conclude that the true mean is greater than 10.
