Doris has a fish pond 15 by 18 ft. She wants to put grass in a strip of uniform with around the pond. She has enough grass seed for 234 ft squared. How wide will the strip be? Round your answer to the nearest tenth, when appropriate
Answers
Check the picture below.
so if we simply subtract the strip area with the pond and the area of the pond only, what's leftover is the area of the strip alone, so
[tex]\stackrel{\textit{area of the grass \underline{with} pond}}{(15+2x)(18+2x)}-\stackrel{\textit{area of the pond}}{(15)(18)}=\stackrel{\textit{their difference}}{232} \\\\\\ 270+30x+16x+4x^2-270=232\implies 46x+4x^2=232 \\\\\\ 23x+2x^2=116\implies 2x^2+23x-116=0[/tex]
[tex]~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{quadratic formula} \\\\ \stackrel{\stackrel{a}{\downarrow }}{2}x^2\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{+23}x\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{-116}=0 \qquad \qquad x= \cfrac{ - b \pm \sqrt { b^2 -4 a c}}{2 a} \\\\\\ x = \cfrac{-23\pm \sqrt{23^2-4(2)(-116)}}{2(2)}\implies x = \cfrac{-23\pm \sqrt{1457}}{4}[/tex]
now, the negative root will simply yield a negative value, which is not applicable here, so we'll only use the positive root, since it's the only feasible one for the phenomena
[tex]x = \cfrac{-23+ \sqrt{1457}}{4}\implies x \approx 3.792667341996157\implies \stackrel{\textit{rounded up}}{x = 3.8}[/tex]
Answer:
3 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the width of the grass strip.
So the length of the grass strip=18+2x
Area of the grass strip =2(18+2x)(x)+2(15)(x)=2(18x+2x^2)+2(15x)=(36x+4x^2)+30x=4x^2+66x^2
But the available grass seed is enough for 234 ft squared
4x^2+66x=234
4x^2+66x-234=0
x={-66+-[(66)^2–4(4)(-234)]^1/2}/2(4)
x={-66+-[4356+3744]^1/2}/8={-66+-[8100]^1/2}/8
x={-66+-(90)}/8
Two values of x: x=(-66+90)/8=24/8=3 and the other value of x=(-66–90)/8=-19.5. Adopt the positive value of x=3 feet (answer)
So the width of the strip is 3 feet.
Check for the area of grass strip around the fish pond : Area=2(18+6)(3)+2(15)(3)=2(24)(3)+90=144+90=234 square feet
Other area check =4x^2+66x=4(3)^2+66(3)=36+198=234 square feet
Therefore the strip is 3 feet wide

Distribution of Sample Proportions
Susan really loves the lemon-flavored Fruity Tooty candies, but there always seems to be a lot of grape-flavored candies in each bag. To determine whether this is because grape candies are so popular or because each bag contains fewer lemon candies, Susan randomly picks a Fruity Tooty candy from her bag, records its flavor, and places it back in the bag. Each bag contains a mixture of cherry, grape, apple, lemon, and orange flavors. Which statement about Susan's distribution of sample proportions is true?
a) The distribution of the count of picking a cherry candy cannot be modeled as approximately normal if Susan picks candies over 200 times.
b) The distribution of apple candy can be modeled as normal if Susan picks candies over 75 times.
c) The sample proportion of drawing an orange candy is not a binomial distribution.
d) The distribution of lemon candy can be modeled as normal if Susan picks candies 10 times.
Answers
Answer:
Option B, The distribution of apple candy can be modeled as normal if Susan picks candies over 75 times
Step-by-step explanation:
The distribution of apple candies can be represented as normal curve and hence the sample proportion for this is true and can be drawn.
The rest other cases do not represent a normal distribution and hence it will not be easy to plot curve for these samples.
hence, option B is correct

Answers
Answer:
Option D, 55.45 to 70.95
Step-by-step explanation:
Alpha = 1 – confidence interval
Alpha = 1 – 0.98 = 0.02
Sample size = n = 8
t (alpha/2) ; (n-1) = t (0.02/2) ; (8-1) = t 0.01, 7 = 2.998
Mean = sum of all frequencies /total number of frequency = 505.6/8 = 63.2
s = 7.309
E = t (0.01;7) * s/sqrt n
Substituting the given values, we get –
E = 2.998 * 7.309 /sqrt (8)
E = 7.75
98% confidence interval

Answer:
7 square root 9^4
Step-by-step explanation:
The sound pressure P for a given sound is given by:
P= 10 log W/ Wo
Its units are decibels (dB). W is the size of a variable energy source (called the sound power), measured in Watts. Wo is the lowest threshold of sound that humans can typically hear. It is a constant given by:
Wo=10^-12 W/m2
a) Find the rate of change of the sound pressure P with respect to time if W=7.2 and dW/dt = 0.5 at some given time t.
b) If the variable sound power W is given by W = t2 +t +1, find the rate of change of the sound pressure P, at time t = 3s.
c) If W = cos 0.2t, find the rate of change of the sound pressure P, at time t = 15 (calculators in radians)
Answers
Answer:
a. 0.302 dB/s
b. 2.34 dB/s
c. 1.24 dB/s
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Find the rate of change of the sound pressure P with respect to time if W=7.2 and dW/dt = 0.5 at some given time t.
Since P = 10log(W/W₀), its rate of change with respect to time is
dP/dt = dP/dW × dW/dt
dP/dW = d[10logW - 10logW₀]/dt
dP/dW = d[10lnW/2.303 - 10logW₀]/dt
= 10/2.303W - 0
= 10/(2.303W)
dP/dt = dP/dW × dW/dt
dP/dt = 10/(2.303W) × dW/dt
Since dW/dt = 0.5 when W = 7.2, then
dP/dt = 10/(2.303 × 7.2) × 0.5
dP/dt = 10/16.5816 × 0.5
dP/dt = 0.603 × 0.5
dP/dt = 0.302 dB/s
b) If the variable sound power W is given by W = t² + t + 1, find the rate of change of the sound pressure P, at time t = 3s.
Since P = 10log(W/W₀), its rate of change with respect to time is
dP/dt = dP/dW × dW/dt
dP/dW = d[10logW - 10logW₀]/dt
dP/dW = d[10lnW/2.303 - 10logW₀]/dt
= 10/2.303W - 0
= 10/(2.303W)
and dW/dt = d(t² + t + 1)/dt = 2t + 1
So, dP/dt = dP/dW × dW/dt
dP/dt = 10/(2.303W) × (2t + 1)
dP/dt = 10(2t + 1)/(2.303W)
dP/dt = 10(2t + 1)/[2.303(t² + t + 1)]
we then substitute t = 3 into the equation
dP/dt = 10(2t + 1)/[2.303(t² + t + 1)]
dP/dt = 10(2(3) + 1)/[2.303((3)² + 3 + 1)]
dP/dt = 10(6 + 1)/[2.303(9 + 3 + 1)]
dP/dt = 10(7)/[2.303(13)]
dP/dt = 70/29.939
dP/dt = 2.34 dB/s
c) If W = cos 0.2t, find the rate of change of the sound pressure P, at time t = 15 (calculators in radians)
Since dP/dt = dP/dW × dW/dt and dP/dW = 10/(2.303W) and W = cos(0.2t), dW/dt = -0.2sin(0.2t)
So, dP/dt = dP/dW × dW/dt
dP/dt = 10/(2.303W) × -0.2sin(0.2t)
dP/dt = -20sin(0.2t)/(2.303W)
dP/dt = -20sin(0.2t)/(2.303cos(0.2t))
dP/dt = -20tan(0.2t)/2.303
when t = 15, we have
dP/dt = -20tan(0.2 × 15)/2.303
dP/dt = -20tan3/2.303
dP/dt = -20 × -0.1425/2.303
dP/dt = 2.8509/2.303
dP/dt = 1.238
dP/dt ≅ 1.24 dB/s

2p +3d = 18.25; 4p +2d = 27.50popcorn: $5.75; drink: $2.25Step-by-step explanation:
a) Let p and d represent the prices of a bag of popcorn and a drink, respectively.
Mohamed's purchase is ...
2p +3d = 18.25
Miguel's purchase is ...
4p +2d = 27.50
__
b) We can subtract half the second equation from the first to get an equation for the cost of a drink.
(2p +3d) -1/2(4p +2d) = (18.25) -1/2(27.50)
2d = 4.50 . . . . . . simplify
d = 2.25 . . . . . . divide by 2
4p +2(2.25) = 27.50 . . . . substitute for d in the second equation
4p = 23.00 . . . . . . . . . subtract 4.50
p = 5.75 . . . . . . . . . divide by 4
The cost of a bag of popcorn is $5.75; the cost of a drink is $2.25.
