Answer:
The tree grows 33cm per year
Step-by-step explanation:
Here in this question, we are interested in knowing how fast the growth of the tree is.
This is easily obtainable from the equation for the height of the tree.
Mathematically, the equation is given as;
H = 210 + 33t
Interpreting this, we can have 210 as the original height of the tree when Renata moved in, while the term 33 represents the growth per year.
So we can say the tree adds a height of 33 cm each year and this translates to the yearly growth of the tree

b. The computation of Upper Control Limit (UCL) and the Lower Control Limit (LCL) for the manufacturing process is shown below:-
= 95.4 + 0.67082
= 96.07
= 95.4 - 0.67082
= 94.73
c. The explanation is shown below:-
From the above calculation we can see that the sample lies between LCL AND UCL that is (94.73 ,96.07) ,
The Process is still in control

(a)Mean Age.
(b)Standard deviation.
Answer:
The mean age is 48
The standard deviation is 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is, (a) mean age is 48.
(b) standard deviation is 4.
What is a mean age?Average age of the population calculated as the arithmetic mean.Another parameter determining the average age of the population is the median age.What does standard deviation of age mean?In general, the standard deviation tells us how far from the average the rest of the numbers tend to be, and it will have the same units as the numbers themselves. If, for example, the group {0, 6, 8, 14} is the ages of a group of four brothers in years, the average is 7 years and the standard deviation is 5 years.How do you find the mean age?To find the mean add all the ages together and divide by the total number of children.

The head of a computer science department is interested in estimating the proportion of students entering the department who will choose the new computer engineering option. Suppose there is not information about the proportion of students who might choose the option. What size sample should the department head take if he wants to be 95% confident that the estimate is within 0.10 of the true proportion
Answer:
96
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information:
At 95% Confidence interval level,Level of significance [tex]\alpha[/tex] 0.05, the value of Z from the standard normal tables = 1.96
Margin of Error = 0.10
Let assume that the estimated proportion = 0.5
therefore; the sample size n can be determined by using the formula: [tex]n =(\dfrac{Z}{E})^2 \times p\times (1-p)[/tex]
[tex]n =(\dfrac{1.96}{0.1})^2 \times 0.5\times (1-0.5)[/tex]

Sherina wrote and solved the equation. x minus 56 = 230. x minus 56 minus 56 = 230 minus 56. x = 174. What was Sherina’s error?
Answer:
subtracting 56 instead of adding (or adding wrong)
Step-by-step explanation:
She wrote ...
x - 56 = 230
x - 56 - 56 = 230 -56 . . . . correct application of the addition property*
x = 230 -56 . . . . . . . . . . . . incorrect simplification
Correctly done, the third line would be ...
x -112 = 174
This would have made Sherina realize that the error was in subtracting 56 instead of adding it. The correct solution would be ...
x - 56 + 56 = 230 + 56 . . . using the addition property of equality
x = 286 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . correct simplification on both sides
__
There were two errors:
1) incorrect strategy --- subtracting 56 instead of adding
2) incorrect simplification --- simplifying -56 -56 to zero instead of -112
We don't know whether you want to count the error in thinking as the first error, or the error in execution where the mechanics of addition were incorrectly done.
_____
* The addition property of equality requires the same number be added to both sides of the equation. Sherina did that correctly. However, the number chosen to be added was the opposite of the number that would usefully work toward a solution.
Answer:
D: Sherina should have added 56 to both sides of the equation.

Suppose we want to test the color distribution claim on the M&M’s website that a bag of plain M&M’s is made up of 10% blue, 10% orange, 10% green, 20% red, 20% yellow, and 30% brown. We select a sample of 400 plain M&M’s and found the following: Color Blue Orange Green Red Yellow Brown Frequency 30 48 55 66 70 131
Is there evidence to doubt the color distribution claimed by the website? Use =0.05
Answer:
Calculated χ² = 13.425
χ² (5,0.025) >14.45 and χ²(5,0.975) <1.24
The given data does not fall in the critical region so we accept H0 and conclude there is no evidence to doubt the color distribution claimed by the website.
Step-by-step explanation:
Color Blue Orange Green Red Yellow Brown
Frequency 30 48 55 66 70 131
Expected 40 40 40 80 80 120
H0: The bag of plain M&Ms is made up of 10% blue, 10% orange, 10% green, 20% red, 20% yellow, and 30% brown
Ha: The color distribution is not equal to the distribution stated in the null hypothesis.
Calculate chi square
χ² = (30-40)² /40 + (48-40)²/40 + (55-40)²/40 + (66-80)²/80 + (70-80)²/80 + (131-120)²/120
χ² = 2.5 + 1.6 + 5.625 + 2.45 + 1.25= 13.425
The critical region for χ² for 5 degrees of freedom with ∝= 0.05 is
χ² (5,0.025) >14.45 and χ²(5,0.975) <1.24
The given data does not fall in the critical region so we accept H0 and conclude there is no evidence to doubt the color distribution claimed by the website.
Combine like terms. What is a simpler form of each expression? 4c-4d+8c-3d
Answer:
12c-7d
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]4c-4d+8c-3d=0\\4c+8c=3d+4d\\12c=7d\\12c-7d[/tex]
===============================================
Explanation:
The terms 4c and 8c are one pair of like terms that combine to 4c+8c = 12c. We add 4 and 8 to get 12, then tack a 'c' at the end
The other pair of like terms are -4d and -3d. They combine to -7d for similar reasoning.
12c and -7d are not like terms, so we can't combine them and we stop here.
-----------
One way to think of combining like terms is consider simplifying 2c+3c. You could say that 2c represents having 2 cups while 3c is having 3 cups. Writing 2c+3c means we start with 2 cups and add on 3 more getting a total of 2+3 = 5 cups. Symbolically we would then write 5c. Therefore 2c+3c = 5c.
Decide whether the pair of ratios form a proportion 15/12=4.5/3.6
Answer: Yes they form a proportion. The given equation is a true equation.
==========================================
Explanation:
The idea is that if we have
a/b = c/d
then that it is the same as
a*d = b*c
This is known as cross multiplication. We'll use this rule to get
15/12 = 4.5/3.6
15*3.6 = 12*4.5
54 = 54
We got the same value on both sides, meaning that the last equation is true. Consequently, it means the first equation is true as well (all three equations are true).
--------
You could also use your calculator to see that
15/12 = 1.25
4.5/3.6 = 1.25
showing that 15/12 = 4.5/3.6 is a true equation and the ratios form a proportion.
Answer:
15/12=4.5/3.6 = True
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the following: Left-hand
15/12
Hint: | Reduce 15/12 to lowest terms. Start by finding the GCD of 15 and 12.
The gcd of 15 and 12 is 3, so 15/12 = (3×5)/(3×4) = 3/3×5/4 = 5/4:
Answer: 5/4
______________________________

Find the particular solution of the differential equation that satisfies the initial condition(s). (Remember to use absolute values where appropriate.) f ''(x) = 4 x2 , f '(1) = 2, f(1) = 5
Looks like either [tex]f''(x)=4x^2[/tex] or [tex]f''(x)=\frac4{x^2}[/tex]...
In the first case, integrate both sides twice to get
[tex]f''(x)=4x^2\implies f'(x)=\dfrac43x^3+C_1\implies f(x)=\dfrac13x^4+C_1x+C_2[/tex]
Then the initial conditions give
[tex]f'(1)=2\implies 2=\dfrac43\cdot1^3+C_1\implies C_1=\dfrac23[/tex]
[tex]f(1)=5\implies 5=\dfrac13\cdot1^4+C_1\cdot1+C_2\implies C_2=4[/tex]
so that the particular solution is
[tex]f(x)=\dfrac{x^4}3+\dfrac{2x}3+4[/tex]
If instead [tex]f''(x)=\frac4{x^2}[/tex], we have
[tex]f''(x)=\dfrac4{x^2}\implies f'(x)=-\dfrac4x+C_1\implies f(x)=-4\ln|x|+C_1x+C_2[/tex]
[tex]f'(1)=2\implies 2=-\dfrac41+C_1\implies C_1=6[/tex]
[tex]f(1)=5\implies 5=-4\ln|1|+C_1\cdot1+C_2\implies C_2=-1[/tex]
[tex]\implies f(x)=-4\ln|x|+6x-1[/tex]

Megan has 12 pounds of cheesecake. On Monday, she and her friends eat 4 pounds. On Tuesday, she and her friends eat another 3 pounds. On Wednesday, her friend Mark gives her some more cheesecake so that she has 3 times as much as she had at the end of Tuesday. On Thursday, some of her cheesecake goes bad, so she has the amount that she had at the end of Wednesday, but divided by 5. On Friday, she gives 3 pounds to her dog. On Saturday, her mom gives her one more pound. On Sunday, how many pounds of cheesecake does Megan have left?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First we start with 12 pounds
On Monday, she and her friends eat 4 pounds. So we have 8 now.
On Tuesday, she and her friends eat another 3 pounds. So we gave 5 now.
On Wednesday, her friend Mark gives her some more cheesecake so that she has 3 times as much as she had at the end of Tuesday. 5 * 3 = 15
On Thursday, some of her cheesecake goes bad, so she has the amount that she had at the end of Wednesday, but divided by 5. She had 15 at the end of Wednesday. 15/5 = 3.
On Friday, she gives 3 pounds to her dog. 5 - 3 = 2.
On Saturday, her mom gives her one more pound. 2 + 1 = 3.
On Sunday, she finally has 3 pounds.

Answer:
Correct options are 2, 5 and 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the given vertices of triangle are A(-3,-3), B(-3,2) and C(1,2).
Distance formula:
[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]
Using distance formula, we get
[tex]AB=\sqrt{(-3-(-3))^2+(2-(-3))^2}[/tex]
[tex]AB=\sqrt{(0)^2+(5)^2}[/tex]
[tex]AB=\sqrt{25}[/tex]
[tex]AB=5[/tex]
Similarly,
[tex]BC=\sqrt{(1-(-3))^2+(2-2)^2}=4[/tex]
[tex]AC=\sqrt{(1-(-3))^2+(2-(-3))^2}=\sqrt{16+25}=\sqrt{41}[/tex]
From the above calculation it is clear that AC>AB and AC>BC.
According to Pythagoras theorem, in a right angle triangle, the square of largest side is equal to the sum of squares of two small sides.
[tex]hypotenuse^2=base^2+perpendicular^2[/tex]
[tex]AC^2=(\sqrt{41})^2=41[/tex]
[tex]AB^2+BC^2=(5)^2+4^2=24+16=41=AC^2[/tex]
So, given triangle is a right angle triangle and AC is its hypotenuse.
Therefore, the correct options are 2, 5 and 7.

Select the function that represents a parabola with zeros at x = –2 and x = 4, and y-intercept (0,–16). A ƒ(x) = x2 + 2x – 8 B ƒ(x) = 2x2 + 4x – 16 C ƒ(x) = x2 – 2x – 8 D ƒ(x) = 2x2 – 4x – 16
Answer:
D. [tex]f(x) = 2\cdot x^{2}-4\cdot x -16[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Any parabola is modelled by a second-order polynomial, whose standard form is:
[tex]y = a\cdot x^{2}+b\cdot x + c[/tex]
Where:
[tex]x[/tex] - Independent variable, dimensionless.
[tex]y[/tex] - Dependent variable, dimensionless.
[tex]a[/tex], [tex]b[/tex], [tex]c[/tex] - Coefficients, dimensionless.
In addition, a system of three linear equations is constructed by using all known inputs:
(-2, 0)
[tex]4\cdot a -2\cdot b + c = 0[/tex] (Eq. 1)
(4, 0)
[tex]16\cdot a + 4\cdot b +c = 0[/tex] (Eq. 2)
(0,-16)
[tex]c = -16[/tex] (Eq. 3)
Then,
[tex]4\cdot a - 2\cdot b = 16[/tex] (Eq. 4)
[tex]16\cdot a + 4\cdot b = 16[/tex] (Eq. 5)
(Eq. 3 in Eqs. 1 - 2)
[tex]a - 0.5\cdot b = 4[/tex] By Eq. 4 (Eq. 4b)
[tex]a = 4 + 0.5\cdot b[/tex]
Then,
[tex]16\cdot (4+0.5\cdot b) + 4\cdot b = 16[/tex] (Eq. 4b in Eq. 5)
[tex]64 + 12\cdot b = 16[/tex]
[tex]12\cdot b = -48[/tex]
[tex]b = -4[/tex]
The remaining coeffcient is:
[tex]a = 4 + 0.5\cdot b[/tex]
[tex]a = 4 + 0.5\cdot (-4)[/tex]
[tex]a = 2[/tex]
The function that represents a parabola with zeroes at x = -2 and x = 4 and y-intercept (0,16) is [tex]f(x) = 2\cdot x^{2}-4\cdot x -16[/tex]. Thus, the right answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:
Musah stands at the centre of a rectangular field. He first takes 50 steps north, then 25 steps
west and finally 50 steps on a bearing of 3150
.
i. Sketch Musah’s movement
ii. How far west is Musah’s final point from the centre?
iii. How far north is Musah’s final point from the centre?
iv. Describe how you would guide a JHS student to find the bearing and distance of
Musah’s final point from the centre.
Answer:
ii. 75 steps
iii. 75 steps
iv. 106 steps, and [tex]315^{0}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Musah's starting point be A, his waiting point after taking 50 steps northward and 25 steps westward be B, and his stopping point be C.
ii. From the second attachment, Musah's distance due west from A to C (AD) can be determined as;
bearing at B = [tex]315^{0}[/tex], therefore <BCD = [tex]45^{0}[/tex]
To determine distance AB,
[tex]/AB/^{2}[/tex] = [tex]/50/^{2}[/tex] + [tex]/25/^{2}[/tex]
= 25000 + 625
= 3125
AB = [tex]\sqrt{3125}[/tex]
= 55.90
AB ≅ 56 steps
Thus, AC = 50 steps + 56 steps
= 106 steps
From ΔACD,
Sin [tex]45^{0}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{106}[/tex]
⇒ x = 106 × Sin [tex]45^{0}[/tex]
= 74.9533
≅ 75 steps
Musah's distance west from centre to final point is 75 steps
iii. From the secon attachment, Musah's distance north, y, can be determined by;
Cos [tex]45^{0}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{y}{106}[/tex]
⇒ y = 106 × Cos [tex]45^{0}[/tex]
= 74.9533
≅ 75 steps
Musah's distance north from centre to final point is 75 steps.
iv. Musah's distance from centre to final point is AC = AB + BC
= 50 steps + 56 steps
= 106 steps
From ΔACD,
Tan θ = [tex]\frac{75}{75}[/tex]
= 1.0
θ = [tex]Tan^{-1}[/tex] 1.0
= [tex]45^{0}[/tex]
Musah's bearing from centre to final point = [tex]45^{0}[/tex] + [tex]270^{0}[/tex]
= [tex]315^{0}[/tex]

Cancel the common factor of the numerator and the denominator and write specified expression
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello,
I hope you mean to cancel the common factor that exists in numerator and denominator,right.
so, Let's look for the common factor,
here, the expression is,
=4(x-2)/ (x+5)(x-2)
so, here we find the common factor is (x-2)
now, we have to cancel it. And after cancelling we get,
=4/(x+5)
Note:{ we cancel the common factor if the common factors are in multiply form.}
Hope it helps
Find the maximum and minimum values of the function f(x,y)=2x2+3y2−4x−5 on the domain x2+y2≤100. The maximum value of f(x,y) is:
First find the critical points of f :
[tex]f(x,y)=2x^2+3y^2-4x-5=2(x-1)^2+3y^2-7[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=2(x-1)=0\implies x=1[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=6y=0\implies y=0[/tex]
so the point (1, 0) is the only critical point, at which we have
[tex]f(1,0)=-7[/tex]
Next check for critical points along the boundary, which can be found by converting to polar coordinates:
[tex]f(x,y)=f(10\cos t,10\sin t)=g(t)=295-40\cos t-100\cos^2t[/tex]
Find the critical points of g :
[tex]\dfrac{\mathrm dg}{\mathrm dt}=40\sin t+200\sin t\cos t=40\sin t(1+5\cos t)=0[/tex]
[tex]\implies\sin t=0\text{ OR }1+5\cos t=0[/tex]
[tex]\implies t=n\pi\text{ OR }t=\cos^{-1}\left(-\dfrac15\right)+2n\pi\text{ OR }t=-\cos^{-1}\left(-\dfrac15\right)+2n\pi[/tex]
where n is any integer. We get 4 critical points in the interval [0, 2π) at
[tex]t=0\implies f(10,0)=155[/tex]
[tex]t=\cos^{-1}\left(-\dfrac15\right)\implies f(-2,4\sqrt6)=299[/tex]
[tex]t=\pi\implies f(-10,0)=235[/tex]
[tex]t=2\pi-\cos^{-1}\left(-\dfrac15\right)\implies f(-2,-4\sqrt6)=299[/tex]
So f has a minimum of -7 and a maximum of 299.

The chart shows a certain city's population by age. Assume that the selections are independent events. If 8 residents of this city are selected at random, find the probability that the first 2 are 65 or older, the next 3 are 25-44 years old, the next 2 are 24 or younger, and the last is 45-64 years old.
Answer:
0.000014
Step-by-step explanation:
The chart is not provided so i will use an example chart to explain the answer. Here is a sample chart:
City X's Population by Age
0-24 years old 33%
25-44 years old 22%
45-64 years old 21%
65 or older 24%
In order to find probability of independent events we find the probability of each event occurring separately and then multiply the calculated probabilities together in the following way:
P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B)
probability that the first 2 are 65 or older
Let A be the event that the first 2 are 65 or older
The probability of 65 or older 24% i.e. 0.24
So the probability that first 2 are 65 or older is:
0.24(select resident 1) * 0.24(select resident 2)
P(A) = 0.24 * 0.24
= 0.0576
P(A) = 0.0576
probability that the next 3 are 25-44 years old
Let B be the event that the next 3 are 25-44 years old
25-44 years old 22% i.e. 0.22
So the probability that the next 3 are 25-44 years old is:
0.22 * 0.22* 0.22
P(B) = 0.22 * 0.22 * 0.22
= 0.010648
P(B) = 0.010648
probability that next 2 are 24 or younger
Let C be the event that the next 2 are 24 or younger
0-24 years old 33% i.e. 0.33
So the probability that the next 2 are 24 or younger is:
0.33 * 0.33
P(C) = 0.33 * 0.33
= 0.1089
P(C) = 0.1089
probability that last is 45-64 years old
Let D be the event that last is 45-64 years old
45-64 years old 21% i.e. 0.21
So the probability that last is 45-64 years old is:
0.21
P(D) = 0.21
So probability of these independent events is computed as:
P(A and B and C and D) = P(A) * P(B) * P(C) * P(C)
= 0.0576 * 0.010648 * 0.1089 * 0.21
= 0.000014
