A)  1.8
B)  4.2
C)  2.8
D)  3.2​

Answers

Answer:

correct option is C)  2.8

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

string vibrates form =  8 loops

in water loop formed =  10 loops

solution

we consider  mass of stone = m

string length = l

frequency of tuning = f

volume = v

density of stone = [tex]\rho[/tex]

case (1)  

when 8 loop form with 2 adjacent node is [tex]\frac{\lambda }{2}[/tex]

so here

[tex]l = \frac{8 \lambda _1}{2}[/tex]      ..............1

[tex]l = 4 \lambda_1\\\\\lambda_1 = \frac{l}{4}[/tex]

and we know velocity is express as

velocity = frequency × wavelength   .....................2

[tex]\sqrt{\frac{Tension}{mass\ per\ unit \length }}[/tex]   =   f × [tex]\lambda_1[/tex]

here tension = mg

so

[tex]\sqrt{\frac{mg}{\mu}}[/tex]   =   f × [tex]\lambda_1[/tex]     ..........................3

and

case (2)  

when 8 loop form with 2 adjacent node is [tex]\frac{\lambda }{2}[/tex]

[tex]l = \frac{10 \lambda _1}{2}[/tex]      ..............4

[tex]l = 5 \lambda_1\\\\\lambda_1 = \frac{l}{5}[/tex]

when block is immersed

equilibrium  eq will be

Tenion + force of buoyancy = mg

T + v × [tex]\rho[/tex] × g = mg

and

T = v × [tex]\rho[/tex] - v × [tex]\rho[/tex] × g    

from equation 2

f × [tex]\lambda_2[/tex] = f  × [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]  

[tex]\sqrt{\frac{v\rho _{stone} g - v\rho _{water} g}{\mu}} = f \times \frac{1}{5}[/tex]     .......................5

now we divide eq 5 by the eq 3

[tex]\sqrt{\frac{vg (\rho _{stone} - \rho _{water})}{\mu vg \times \rho _{stone}}} = \frac{fl}{5} \times \frac{4}{fl}[/tex]

solve irt we get

[tex]1 - \frac{\rho _{stone}}{\rho _{water}} = \frac{16}{25}[/tex]

so

relative density [tex]\frac{\rho _{stone}}{\rho _{water}} = \frac{25}{9}[/tex]

relative density = 2.78 ≈ 2.8

so correct option is C)  2.8

A movie theater is having a special. If a group of four pays $7.25 each for tickets, each person can get popcorn and a drink for $5.75. Use the expression 4(5.75 + 7.25) to find the total cost for 4 friends.

Answers

Answer:

The price for 4 people is 52 dollars.

4 × (5.75 + 7.25) = 52

The total cost including drink and popcorn is $52 according to a given condition.

How to form an equation?

Determine the known quantities and designate the unknown quantity as a variable while trying to set up or construct a linear equation to fit a real-world application.

In other words, an equation is a set of variables that are constrained through a situation or case.

Cost of movie ticket =  $7.25/person

Cost of popcorn and drink =  $5.75/person

Total cost per person = 5.75 + 7.25 = $13

Now,

Number of people = 4

So,

4(5.75 + 7.25) = 4(13) = $52

Hence "The total cost including drink and popcorn is $52 according to a given condition".

[tex]\dfrac{\overline {DE}}{ \overline {BC}}= \dfrac{\overline{AD}}{ \overline{AC}}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{x}{ 45}= \dfrac{225-220}{225}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{x}{ 45}= \dfrac{25}{225}[/tex]

By cross multiply

225x = 45 × 25

[tex]x = \dfrac{45 \times 25}{225}[/tex]

Which is one of the transformations applied to the graph of f(x) = X^2 to change it into the graph of g(x) = -x^2 +16x - 44

Answers

Answer: First a horizontal shift of 8 units, then a reflection over the x-axis, and then a vertical shift of 20 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's construct g(x) in baby steps.

Ok, we start with f(x) = x^2

The first thing we have is a horizontal translation of A units (where A is not known)

A vertical translation of N units to the right, is written as:

g(x) = f(x - N)

Then we have:

g(x) = (x - A)^2 = x^2 - 2*A*x + A^2

Now, you can see that actually g(x) has a negative leading coefficient, which means that we also have an inversion over the x-axis.

Remember that if we have a point (x, y), a reflection over the x-axis transforms our point into (x, -y)

Then if we apply also a reflection over the x-axis, we have:

g(x) = -f(x - A) = -x^2 + 2*A*x - A^2 = -x^2 + 16*x - 44

Then:

2*A = 16

A*A = 44.

The first equation says that A = 16/2 = 8

But 8^2 is not equal to 44.

Then we need another constant coefficient, which is related to a vertical translation.

If we have a relation y = f(x), a vertical translation of N units up, will be

y = f(x) + N.

Then:

g(x) = -f(x - A) + B

-x^2 + 2*A*x - A^2 + B = x^2 + 16*x - 44

Now we have:

2*A = 16

-A^2 + B = - 44

From the first equation we have A = 8, now we replace it in the second equation and get:

-8^2 + B = -44

B = -44 + 64 = 20

Then we have:

The transformation is:

First an horizontal shift of 8 units, then a reflection over the x-axis, and then a vertical shift of 20 units.

There are 8 books needing re-shelving in a library where 65% of the library's collection consists of reference books. Let X be the number of reference books a student helper re-shelves out of the 8 on her cart. a) What is the probability that all 8 of them are reference books

Answers

Answer:

0.0319

Step-by-step explanation:

To approximate this probability, we shall be using the Bernoulli approximation of the Binomial distribution.

Let p = probability of selecting a reference book = 65% = 0.65

Let q = probability of selecting other books= 1-p = 1-0.65 = 0.35

Now, we want to find the probability that all of these 8 books to be re-shelved are reference book.

We set up the probability as follows;

P(X = 8) = 8C8 •p^8•q^0

P(X = 8) = 1 * (0.65)^8 * (0.35)^0

P(X = 8) = 0.031864481289 which is 0.0319 to 4 decimal places

There are [tex]10[/tex] divisions between $3.2$ and $3.3$

so that means each division is $\frac{3.3-3.2}{10}=0.01$

A is the 3rd division after $3.2$, So A is $3.2+3\times0.01=3.23$

similarly, C is 3 division behind $3.2$ so it will be $3.17$

and B is $3.34$

A represents the decimal 3.23

B represents the decimal 3.34

C represents the decimal 3.17

Calculating the decimal values:

We can see that there are 10 divisions between 3.2 and 3.3.

The difference between the two points for 10 divisions is 3.3 -3.2 = 0.1 unit.

Therefore, one division will be equal to 0.1/10 = 0.01 unit

So, point A is 3 divisions after 3.2, thus

A = 3.2 + 0.01×3

A = 3.23

Similarly,

B = 3.3 + 0.01×4

B = 3.34

Find the distance between (8,4) and (8,8).

Answers

Answer:

From the given points above, the distance between them is 4 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the distance between the two points, we must know the distance formula.

[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

Now, we plug in our numbers from the coordinate points that we are given to their respectful places.

[tex]d=\sqrt{(8-8)^2+(8-4)^2}[/tex]

Now, we solve. First, simplify the terms in parentheses. So, subtract 8 from 8 and subtract 4 from 8.

[tex]d=\sqrt{(0)^2+(4)^2}[/tex]

From her purchased bags, Rory counted 110 red candies out of 550 total candies. Using a 90% confidence interval for the population proportion, what are the lower and upper limit of the interval? Answer choices are rounded to the thousandths place.

Answers

Answer:

The Confidence Interval = (0.172, 0.228)

Where:

The lower limit = 0.172

The upper limit = 0.228

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to be applied or used to solve this question is :

Confidence Interval formula for proportion.

The formula is given as :

p ± z × √[p(1 - p)/n]

n = Total number of red candies = 550 red candles

p = proportion = Number of red candies counted/ Total number of red candies

= 110/550 = 1/5 = 0.2

z = z score for the given confidence interval.

We are given a confidence interval of 90%. Therefore, the z score = 1.6449

Confidence Interval = p ± z × √[p(1 - p)/n]

Confidence Interval = 0.2 ± 1.6449 × √[0.2(1 - 0.2)/550]

= 0.2 ± 1.6449 √0.2 × 0.8/550

= 0.2 ± 1.6449 × 0.0170560573

= 0.2 ± 0.0280555087

Hence, the Confidence Interval = 0.2 ± 0.0280555087

0.2 - 0.0280555087 = 0.1719444913

Approximately = 0.172

0.2 + 0.0280555087 = 0.2280555087

Approximately = 0.228

Therefore, the Confidence Interval = (0.172, 0.228)

In other words, we have to find the value of [tex]x[/tex] after which the [tex]f(x) = 0[/tex]

(Because when the ball hits the ground, the height becomes 0).

Let us put [tex]f(x) = 0[/tex] and solve for [tex]x[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = -x^2 + x + 2 =0\\\Rightarrow -x^2 + x + 2 =0\\\Rightarrow x^2 - x - 2 =0\\\Rightarrow x^2 - 2x+x - 2 =0\\\Rightarrow x(x - 2)+1(x - 2) =0\\\Rightarrow (x+1)(x - 2) =0\\\Rightarrow x =-1, 2[/tex]

[tex]x=-1[/tex] sec is not a valid answer because time can not be negative.

So, the answer is after 2 seconds, the ball hits the ground.

(a) Find the standard error of the mean for each sampling situation (assuming a normal population). (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) (a) σ = 18, n = 9 (b) σ = 18, n = 36 (c) σ = 18, n = 144

Answers

Answer:

a) 6.00

b) 3.00

c) 1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample error of the mean is expressed mathematically using the formula;

SE = σ /√n where;

σ  is the standard deviation and n is the sample size.

a) Given σ = 18, n = 9

Standard error of the mean = σ /√n

Standard error of the mean = 18/√9

Standard error of the mean = 18/3

Standard error of the mean = 6.00

b) Given σ = 18, n = 36

Standard error of the mean = σ /√n

Standard error of the mean = 18/√36

Standard error of the mean = 18/6

Standard error of the mean = 3.00

c) Given σ = 18, n = 144

Standard error of the mean = σ /√n

Standard error of the mean = 18/√144

Standard error of the mean = 18/12

Standard error of the mean = 3/2

Standard error of the mean = 1.50

A ladder 10 ft long leans against a vertical wall. If the lower end is being moved away from the wall at the rate of 6 ​ft/sec, how fast is the height of the top changing​ (this will be a negative​ rate) when the lower end is 6 feet from the​ wall?

Answers

Answer:

-4.5ft per sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that vertical wall has a distance of y and the horizontal floor is x (6 ft).

This forms a triangle with the ladder as the hypothenus of length 10ft

We have dy/dt = 6ft per sec

According to Pythagoras law the relationship between x and y is

(x^2) + (y^2) = (hypothenus ^2) = 10^2

When we differentiate both sides of the equation

2x(dx/dt) + 2y(dy/dt) = 0

dy/dt = (x/y) * (dx/dt)

y= √(10^2) - (6^2) = 8ft

So dy/dt = (6/8)* (6/1)= -4.5 ft per sec

It is a negative rate
