Let's call the number we're looking for "x".

The problem tells us that "if the sum of a number and eight is doubled, the result is seven less than the number", which can be translated into an equation:

2(x+8) = x-7

Now let's solve for x:

2x + 16 = x - 7

2x - x = -7 - 16

x = -23

Therefore, the number we're looking for is -23.

Inequality refers to a situation in which there is a difference or disparity between two or more things, usually in terms of value, opportunity, or outcome. Inequality can take many forms, including social, economic, and political inequality.

Inequalities are mathematical expressions that compare two values using the symbols < (less than), > (greater than), ≤ (less than or equal to), or ≥ (greater than or equal to). To solve an inequality, you need to isolate the variable (the unknown quantity) on one side of the inequality symbol and determine the range of values for which the inequality holds true.

Here are some general steps to solve an inequality:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the limit of (n!)^(1/n) as n approaches infinity, we can use the Stirling's approximation for n!, which is:

n! ≈ (n/e)^n √(2πn)

where e is the mathematical constant e ≈ 2.71828, and π is the mathematical constant pi ≈ 3.14159.

Using this approximation, we can rewrite (n!)^(1/n) as:

(n!)^(1/n) = [(n/e)^n √(2πn)]^(1/n) = (n/e)^(n/n) [√(2πn)]^(1/n)

Taking the limit as n approaches infinity, we have:

lim (n!)^(1/n) = lim (n/e)^(n/n) [√(2πn)]^(1/n)

Using the fact that lim a^(1/n) = 1 as n approaches infinity for any constant a > 0, we can simplify the second term as:

lim [√(2πn)]^(1/n) = 1

For the first term, we can rewrite (n/e)^(n/n) as [1/(e^(1/n))]^n and use the fact that lim a^n = 1 as n approaches infinity for any constant 0 < a < 1. Thus, we have:

lim (n/e)^(n/n) = lim [1/(e^(1/n))]^n = 1

Therefore, combining the two terms, we have:

lim (n!)^(1/n) = lim (n/e)^(n/n) [√(2πn)]^(1/n) = 1 x 1 = 1

Hence, the limit of (n!)^(1/n) as n approaches infinity is 1.

"The rate at which the bottom of the ladder moving along the ground at the point in time when the bottom of the ladder is 4 feet from the wall is calculated to be 3.464 ft/s."

At a pace of 2 feet per second, the lower end of the ladder is being pulled away from the wall.

At a specific moment, when the lower end of the ladder is 4 feet from the wall, we should determine the rate at which the bottom of the ladder is lowering.

From the point t, the bottom of the ladder is x m, the top of the ladder is y m from the wall.

x² + y² = 64

Differentiating the given relationship with regard to t,

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

x dx/dt + y dy/dt = 0

We need to find out dx/dt at x = 4.

dy/dt = -2

At x = 4, we have,

x² + y² = 64

16 + y² = 64

y² = 48

y = 4√3

Put in the known values to find out dx/dt,

x dx/dt + y dy/dt = 0

4 dx/dt + 4√3 (-2) = 0

4 dx/dt = 8√3

dx/dt = 2√3 = 3.464

Thus, the bottom of the ladder is calculated to be moving at the rate 3.464 ft/s.

Area is a mathematical concept that describes the size of a two-dimensional surface. It is a measure of the amount of space inside a closed shape, such as a rectangle, circle, or triangle, and is typically expressed in square units, such as square feet or square meters. The area of a shape is calculated by multiplying the length of one side or dimension by the length of another side or dimension. For example, the area of a rectangle can be found by multiplying its length by its width.

Here,

To find the radius of the circle, we can use the formula for the area of a sector:

Area of sector = (θ/360) x π x r²

where θ is the central angle of the sector in degrees, r is the radius of the circle, and π is approximately 3.14.

We're given that the area of sector COD is 50.24 square units and the central angle of the sector is 90°. So we can plug in these values and solve for r:

50.24 = (90/360) x 3.14 x r²

50.24 = 0.25 x 3.14 x r²

r² = 50.24 / (0.25 x 3.14)

r² = 201.28

r = √201.28

r ≈ 14.2

Therefore, the radius of the circle is approximately 14.2 units.

Next, we need to find the length of segment AB. Since AB is a chord of the circle, we can use the formula:

AB = 2 x r x sin(θ/2)

where θ is the central angle of the sector in degrees, r is the radius of the circle, and sin() is the sine function.

We're given that the central angle of sector COD is 30°. So we can plug in this value and the radius we found earlier to solve for AB:

AB = 2 x 14.2 x sin(30/2)

AB = 2 x 14.2 x sin(15)

AB ≈ 7.4

Answer:

Let's assume the original price of the stock was x.

When the company announced it overestimated demand, the stock price fell by 40%.

So, the new price of the stock after the first decline was:

x - 0.4x = 0.6x

A few weeks later, when the seats were recalled, the stock price fell again by 60% from the new lower price of 0.6x.

So, the new price of the stock after the second decline was:

0.6x - 0.6(0.6x) = 0.24x

Given that the current stock price is $2.40, we can set up the equation:

0.24x = 2.40

Solving for x, we get:

x = 10

Therefore, the stock was originally selling for $10.

The symmetric equations of the line passing through a point and parallel to a vector are -(x - 4) = y + 1/4 = -(z - 9)/2. The line intersects the xy-, xz-, and yz-planes at (5, -9/4, 0), (15/4, 0, 23/2), and (0, -17/4, 11/2), respectively.

To find the symmetric equations of the line, we first need to find the direction vector of the line. Since the line is parallel to the vector <4, -1, 9>, any scalar multiple of this vector will be a direction vector of the line. So, let's choose the parameter t and write the vector equation of the line:

r = <4, -1, 9> + t<-1, 4, -2>

Expanding this vector equation component-wise, we get:

x = 4 - t

y = -1 + 4t

z = 9 - 2t

These equations can be rearranged to get the symmetric equations of the line:

-(x - 4) = y + 1/4 = -(z - 9)/2

To find the points in which the line intersects the coordinate planes, we substitute the corresponding variables with 0 in the equations for the line.

For the xy-plane, we set z = 0 and solve for x and y:

-(x - 4) = y + 1/4 = -(-9)/2

x = 5, y = -9/4

So, the line intersects the xy-plane at the point (5, -9/4, 0).

For the xz-plane, we set y = 0 and solve for x and z:

-(x - 4) = 0 + 1/4 = -(z - 9)/2

x = 15/4, z = 23/2

So, the line intersects the xz-plane at the point (15/4, 0, 23/2).

For the yz-plane, we set x = 0 and solve for y and z:

-(-4) = y + 1/4 = -(z - 9)/2

y = -17/4, z = 11/2

So, the line intersects the yz-plane at the point (0, -17/4, 11/2).

The ROC of a given signal's Z-transform can be determined without actually computing the Z-transform by identifying the maximum and minimum magnitude of the signal and checking for any poles of the Z-transform within the resulting annular region.

Let's take a signal as an example, suppose x[n] = {1, -2, 3, -4, 5}. In order to determine the ROC of its Z-transform, we are firstly required to first look for any regions in the complex plane where the sum of the absolute values of the Z-transform is found finite. It can be done by looking for the maximum and minimum magnitude of x[n] and denote them as R1 and R2 respectively. Then, the ROC of the Z-transform will be the annular region between R1 and R2, excluding any poles of the Z-transform that lie within this annular region.

In this case, the maximum absolute value of x[n] is 5 and the minimum is found being 1. So, the ROC of the Z-transform will be the annular region between |z| = 1 and |z| = 5. We can denote this as 1 < |z| < 5. We also need to check if there are any poles of the Z-transform within this annular region. Since we haven't actually computed the Z-transform, we cannot determine the exact location of any poles.

However, we can check for any values of z that would make the Z-transform infinite. For example, if x[n] is a causal signal (i.e., x[n] = 0 for n < 0), then the ROC cannot include any values of z for which |z| < 1, since this would make the Z-transform infinite.

So, the ROC of the Z-transform for the given signal x[n] can be written as 1 < |z| < 5, assuming that x[n] is a causal signal.

The likelihood function can be factored using Theorem 9.4 as L(p) = L(X₁, X₂, ..., Xn | p) = g(Σⁿᵢ=1Xᵢ, p) * h(X₁, X₂, ..., Xn), where g(Σⁿᵢ=1Xᵢ, p) = p^Σⁿᵢ=1Xᵢ (1-p)^(n-Σⁿᵢ=1Xᵢ) and h(X₁, X₂, ..., Xn) = 1. This satisfies the factorization criterion, and thus, Σⁿᵢ=1Xᵢ is a sufficient statistic for p.

To show that Σⁿᵢ=1Xᵢ is sufficient for p, we need to show that the likelihood function can be factored using Theorem 9.4 as:

L(p) = L(X₁, X₂, ..., Xn | p) = g(Σⁿᵢ=1Xᵢ, p) * h(X₁, X₂, ..., Xn)

where g(Σⁿᵢ=1Xᵢ, p) is a function only of Σⁿᵢ=1Xᵢ and p, and h(X₁, X₂, ..., Xn) is not a function of p.

First, we can write the joint probability mass function of X₁, X₂, ..., Xn as:

P(X₁ = x₁, X₂ = x₂, ..., Xn = x_n) = p^Σⁿᵢ=1xᵢ (1-p)^Σⁿᵢ=1(1-xᵢ)

Taking the product of these probabilities for all i, we get:

L(p) = L(X₁, X₂, ..., Xn | p) = Πⁿᵢ=1P(Xᵢ = xᵢ) = p^Σⁿᵢ=1Xᵢ (1-p)^Σⁿᵢ=1(1-Xᵢ)

Using the factorization criterion given in Theorem 9.4, we need to find functions g(u, p) and h(X₁, X₂, ..., Xn) such that:

L(p) = L(X₁, X₂, ..., Xn | p) = g(Σⁿᵢ=1Xᵢ, p) * h(X₁, X₂, ..., Xn)

Let's take g(u, p) = pᵘ(1-p)⁽ⁿ⁻ᵘ⁾, which only depends on u and p. Then:

L(p) = L(X₁, X₂, ..., Xn | p) = g(Σⁿᵢ=1Xᵢ, p) * h(X₁, X₂, ..., Xn)

= p^Σⁿᵢ=1Xᵢ (1-p)^Σⁿᵢ=1(1-Xᵢ) * h(X₁, X₂, ..., Xn)

We can see that the term Σⁿᵢ=1Xᵢ appears in the exponent of p, and Σⁿᵢ=1(1-Xᵢ) appears in the exponent of (1-p). Therefore, we can write:

L(p) = L(X₁, X₂, ..., Xn | p) = [p^Σⁿᵢ=1Xᵢ (1-p)^Σⁿᵢ=1(1-Xᵢ)] * [1]

where the second factor is a constant function of p. This satisfies the factorization criterion, with g(u, p) = pᵘ(1-p⁽ⁿ⁻ᵘ⁾ and h(X₁, X₂, ..., Xn) = 1.

Therefore, we have shown that Σⁿᵢ=1Xᵢ is a sufficient statistic for p.

In mathematics, an inequality is a statement that compares two values, indicating that they are not equal, and specifies the relationship between them. In other words, an inequality expresses a relative difference between two values or quantities, rather than an exact equality.

There are different types of inequalities, but the most common ones involve comparisons between numerical values or algebraic expressions using inequality symbols, such as:

Greater than: x > y (read as "x is greater than y")

Less than: x < y (read as "x is less than y")

Greater than or equal to: x ≥ y (read as "x is greater than or equal to y")

Less than or equal to: x ≤ y (read as "x is less than or equal to y")

Inequalities can also involve multiple variables and can be used to describe ranges of values or conditions that must be satisfied. For example, x + y > 5 is an inequality that describes a region of the xy-plane where the sum of x and y is greater than 5.

Inequalities are used extensively in many areas of mathematics, including algebra, calculus, and optimization, and also have applications in other fields such as economics, physics, and engineering.

28x=80-43.07=36.93 pounds of $3.45 tea

Let a= the pounds of the more expensive tea needed

Let b= the pounds of the less expensive tea needed

(1) a+%2B+b+=+80

(2) 345a+%2B+215b+=+80%2A275 (in cents)

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

In words, (2) says.

(lbs of 'a' tea x price/lb) + (lbs of 'b' tea x price/lb) =

(lbs of mixture x price/lb of mixture)

-------

Multiply both sides of (1) by 215 and then.

subtract from (2)

345a+%2B+215b+=+80%2A275

-215a+-+215b+=+-80%2A215

130a+=+80%2A60

130a+=+4800

a+=+36.92

and, from (1)

(1) a+%2B+b+=+80

36.92+%2B+b+=+80

b+=+80+-+36.92

b+=+43.08

36.92 lbs. of the $3.45 tea and 43.08 lbs. of the $2.15 tea are needed.

The mixture contains 34 pounds of black tea and 46 pounds of Earl Gray tea.

What is an algebraic expression?

An algebraic expression is a mathematical phrase that contains variables, constants, and mathematical operations.

Let's denote the amount of black tea in pounds by "x" and the amount of Earl Gray tea in pounds by "y".

Since the total amount of mixture is 80 lb, we have:

x + y = 80 ----(1)

We also know that the mixture sells for $2.75 a pound, so the total revenue from selling 80 lb of mixture is:

80 x $2.75 = $220

On the other hand, the cost of the mixture is the sum of the costs of the black tea and the Earl Gray tea, which is:

3.45x + 2.15y

Since the company wants to make a profit, the revenue must be greater than the cost, so we have:

3.45x + 2.15y < $220

We can simplify this inequality by dividing both sides by 0.1:

34.5x + 21.5y < 2200 ----(2)

Now we have two equations with two unknowns (equations (1) and (2)), which we can solve using substitution or elimination.

Substitution method:

From equation (1), we have:

y = 80 - x

Substituting this into equation (2), we get:

34.5x + 21.5(80 - x) < 2200

Simplifying and solving for x, we get:

x < 34.5

Rounding x to the nearest pound, we get x = 34.

Substituting this value into y = 80 - x, we get y = 46.

Therefore, the mixture contains 34 pounds of black tea and 46 pounds of Earl Gray tea.
