Answer:Amount = Rs 13891.50Compound interest = Rs 1891.50

Step-by-step explanation:

C = Amount (A) - Principal (P)

Where

C is the compound interest

To find the amount we use the formula

[tex]A = P ({1 + \frac{r}{100} })^{n} [/tex]

where

P is the principal

r is the rate

n is the period / time

From the question

P = Rs 12, 000

r = 5%

n = 3 years

Substitute the values into the above formula

That's

[tex]A = 12000 ({1 + \frac{5}{100} })^{3} \\ A = 12000(1 + 0.05)^{3} \\ A = 12000 ({1.05})^{3} [/tex]

We have the answer as

Amount = Rs 13891.50

Compound interest = 13891.50 - 12000

Compound interest = Rs 1891.50

Question:
In exercises 1 through 4, find the one-sided limits lim x->2(left) f(x) and limx-> 2(right) from the given graph of f and determine whether lim x->2 f(x) exists.​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

For a left-hand limit, we start at the left side and move right, and see where the function goes as we get close to the x value.

For a right-hand limit, we start at the right side and move left, and see where the function goes as we get close to the x value.

If the two limits are equal, then the limit exists.  Otherwise, it doesn't.

1.  As we approach x = 2 from the left, f(x) approaches -2.

lim(x→2⁻) f(x) = -2

As we approach x = 2 from the right, f(x) approaches 1.

lim(x→2⁺) f(x) = 1

The limits are not the same, so the limit does not exist.

lim(x→2) f(x) = DNE

2. As we approach x = 2 from the left, f(x) approaches 4.

lim(x→2⁻) f(x) = 4

As we approach x = 2 from the right, f(x) approaches 2.

lim(x→2⁺) f(x) = 2

The limits are not the same, so the limit does not exist.

lim(x→2) f(x) = DNE

3. As we approach x = 2 from the left, f(x) approaches 2.

lim(x→2⁻) f(x) = 2

As we approach x = 2 from the right, f(x) approaches 2.

lim(x→2⁺) f(x) = 2

The limits are equal, so the limit exists.

lim(x→2) f(x) = 2

4. As we approach x = 2 from the left, f(x) approaches 2.

lim(x→2⁻) f(x) = 2

As we approach x = 2 from the right, f(x) approaches infinity.

lim(x→2⁺) f(x) = ∞

The limits are not the same, so the limit does not exist.

lim(x→2) f(x) = DNE

A librarian needs to package up all of the children's books and move them to a different location in the library. There are 625 books, and she can fit 25 books in one box. How many boxes does she need in order to move all of the books? 5 B. 25 C. 125 D. 600 E. 650

Answers

Answer: B. 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total books = 625

Number of books can fit in one box = 25

Now, the number of boxes she need to move all of the books = (Total books) ÷ (Number of books can fit in one box )

= 625÷25

= 25

hence, she requires 25 boxes in order to move all of the books.

So, correct option is B. 25.

f(x)=3x2+10x-25 g(x)=9x2-25 Find (f/g)(x).

Answers

Answer:

[tex](f/g)(x) = \frac{x + 5}{3x + 5} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3x² + 10x - 25

g(x) = 9x² - 25

To find (f/g)(x) divide f(x) by g(x)

That's

[tex](f/g)(x) = \frac{3 {x}^{2} + 10x - 25 }{9 {x}^{2} - 25 } [/tex]

Factorize both the numerator and the denominator

For the numerator

3x² + 10x - 25

3x² + 15x - 5x - 25

3x ( x + 5) - 5( x + 5)

(3x - 5 ) ( x + 5)

For the denominator

9x² - 25

(3x)² - 5²

Using the formula

a² - b² = ( a + b)(a - b)

(3x)² - 5² = (3x + 5)(3x - 5)

So we have

[tex](f/g)(x) = \frac{(3x - 5)(x + 5)}{(3x + 5)(3x - 5)} [/tex]

Simplify

We have the final answer as

[tex](f/g)(x) = \frac{x + 5}{3x + 5} [/tex]

Ever since Renata moved to her new home, she's been keeping track of the height of the tree outside her window. H represents the height of the tree (in centimeters), t years since Renata moved in. H = 210 + 33t How fast does the tree grow? ANSWER centimeters per year.

Answers

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

Type an integer or a​ fraction.) ​(B) Find the probability that at least 1 ball was​ red, given that the first ball was not replaced before the second draw.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The box contains 5 red and 4 white balls.

A) The probability that at least 1 ball was​ red = P(both are red) + P(first is red and second is white) + P(first is white second is red)

Given that the first ball was (Upper A )Replaced before the second draw:

P(both are red) = P(red) × P(red) = 5/9 × 5/9 = 25/81

P(first is red and second is white) = P(red) × P(white) = 5/9 × 4/9 = 20/81

P(first is white and second is red) = P(white) × P(red) = 4/9 × 5/9 = 20/81

The probability that at least 1 ball was​ red = 25/81 + 20/81 + 20/81 = 65/81

B) The probability that at least 1 ball was​ red = P(both are red) + P(first is red and second is white) + P(first is white second is red)

Given that the first ball was not Replaced before the second draw:

P(both are red) = P(red) × P(red) = 5/9 × 4/8 = 20/72 (since it was not replaced after the first draw the number of red ball remaining would be 4 and the total ball remaining would be 8)

P(first is red second is white) = P(red) × P(white) = 5/9 × 4/8 = 20/72

P(first is white and second is red) = P(white) × P(red) = 4/9 × 5/8 = 20/72

The probability that at least 1 ball was​ red = 20/72 + 20/72 + 20/72 = 60/72

Find the sum of the first 12 terms of the sequence 512, 256, 128, …

Answers

Answer: 1023.75 (a)

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence is a Geometric progression with the common ratio of ¹/₂ and first term of 512.

a = 512, r = ¹/₂. To determine the ratio, just divide the second term by the first term.

Now to calculate the sum, we consider two formula here and select the one that is most appropriate,

(1)  a( rⁿ - 1 )/r - 1, when r is greater than 1

(2) a( 1 - rⁿ )/1 - rⁿ, when r is less than 1.

In this question, formula 2 shall be appropriate because r is less than 1.

so,

S₁₂      =  512( 1 - 0.5¹² )/1 - 0.5

             512( 1 - 2.44 ₓ 10⁻⁴ )/0.5

          = 512( 0,9998 )/0.5

          = 511.875/0.5

A car dealer recommends that transmissions be serviced at 30,000 miles. To see whether her customers are adhering to this recommendation, the dealer selects a random sample of 40 customers and finds that the average mileage of the automobiles serviced is 30,456. The standard deviation of the population is 1684 miles. By finding the P-­value, determine whether the owners are having their transmissions serviced at 30,000 miles. Use α = 0.10. Are the owners having their transmissions serviced at 30,000 miles?

Answers

Answer:

No, the owners are not having their transmissions serviced at 30,000 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a car dealer recommends that transmissions be serviced at 30,000 miles.

The car dealer selects a random sample of 40 customers and finds that the average mileage of the automobiles serviced is 30,456. The standard deviation of the population is 1684 miles.

Let [tex]\mu[/tex] = true average mileage of the automobiles serviced.

So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] = 30,000 miles      {means that the owners are having their transmissions serviced at 30,000 miles}

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu\neq[/tex] 30,000 miles      {means that the owners are having their transmissions serviced at different than 30,000 miles}

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample z-test statistics because we know about population standard deviation;

                             T.S.  =  [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]  ~  N(0,1)

where, [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample average mileage serviced = 30,456 miles  

            [tex]\sigma[/tex] = population standard deviation = 1684 miles

            n = sample of customers = 40

So, the test statistics =  [tex]\frac{30,456-30,000}{\frac{1684}{\sqrt{40} } }[/tex]  

                                     =  1.71

The value of z-statistics is 1.71.

Also, the P-value of the test statistics is given by;

                    P-value = P(Z > 1.71) = 1 - P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 1.71)

                                  = 1 - 0.9564 = 0.0436

For the two-tailed test, the P-value is calculated as = 2 [tex]\times[/tex] 0.0436 = 0.0872.

Since the P-value of our test statistics is less than the level of significance as 0.0872 < 0.10, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as the test statistics will fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we conclude that the owners are having their transmissions serviced at different than 30,000 miles.

(Do not include units in your answer, and round to the nearest hundredth.)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information;

let the hypotenuse be a , the opposite which is the north direction be b and the west direction which is the adjacent be c

SO, using the Pythagoras theorem

a² = c² + 177²

By taking the differentiation of both sides with respect to time t , we have

[tex]2a \dfrac{da}{dt} = 2c \dfrac{dc}{dt} + 0[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{da}{dt} = \dfrac{c}{a} \dfrac{dc}{dt}[/tex]

At c = 71 miles,[tex]a = \sqrt{ (71)^2 +(177)^2}[/tex]

[tex]a = \sqrt{ 5041+31329}[/tex]

[tex]a = \sqrt{ 36370}[/tex]

a = 190.71

SImilarly, [tex]\dfrac{dc}{dt} = \ 31 miles \ / hr[/tex]

Thus, the rate of change of the distance between Morristown and the van when the van has been travelling for 71 miles can be calculate as:

[tex]\dfrac{da}{dt} = \dfrac{c}{a} \dfrac{dc}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{da}{dt} = \dfrac{71}{190.71} \times 31[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{da}{dt} = 0.37229 \times 31[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{da}{dt} = 11.54}[/tex]  to the nearest hundredth.

Of the three properties, reflexive, symmetric, and transitive that define the relation "is equal to," which one could also apply to "is less than" and "is greater than?" transitive reflexive symmetric

Answers

Answer: Transitive property.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, for the equality we have:

Reflexive:

  For all real numbers x, x = x.

Symmetric:  

 For all real numbers x, y

 if x= y, then y = x.

Transitive:

 For reals x, y and z.

 if x = y, and y = z, then x = z.

Now, let's talk about inequalities.

first, the reflexive property will say that:

x > x.

This has no sense, so this property does not work for inequalities.

Now, the reflexive.

If x > y, then y > x.

Again, this has no sense, if x is larger than y, then we can never have that y is larger than x. This property does not work for inequalities.

Not, the transitive property.

if x > y, and y > z, then x > z.

This is true.

x is bigger than y, and y is bigger than z, then x should also be bigger than z.

x > y > z.

And this also works for the inverse case:

x < y and y < z, then x < z.

So the correct option is transitive property.

Given a sample of 35, what is the sample standard deviation of a pair of jeans if the 90% confidence interval is [37.14, 42.86]

Answers

Answer:

10.295

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the value for calculating the confidence interval as given;

CI = xbar + Z*σ/√n

xbar  is the mean = 37.14+42.86/2

xbar= 80/2

xbar = 40

Z is the z-score at the 90% confidence = 1.645

σ is the standard deviation

n is the sample size = 35

Given the confidence interval CI as [37.14, 42.86]

Using  the maximum value of the confidence interval to get the value of the standard deviation, we will have;

42.86 =  xbar + Z*σ/√n

42.86 = 40 + 1.645* σ/√35

42.86-40 = 1.645*σ/√35

2.86 = 1.645*σ/√35

2.86/1.645 = σ/√35

1.739 = σ/√35

1.739 = σ/5.92

σ= 1.739*5.92

σ = 10.295

Hence, the sample standard deviation of a pair of jeans is 10.295

Explain in context the conclusion of the test if H0 is rejected.

Answers

Answer:

For the null hypothesis to be rejected , then the conclusion of the test is that the absolute values of the z-statistic and/or the t-test statistic is greater than the critical value

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to explain the conclusion of the test given that the null hypothesis is rejected.

Mathematically, the null hypothesis is as expressed as below;

H0: μ = 1,200

The alternative hypothesis H1 would be;

H1: μ > 1,200

Now, before we can reject or accept the null hypothesis, we will need a sample size and thus calculate the test statistics and the z statistics

For us to reject the null hypothesis, one of two things, or two things must have occurred.

The absolute value of the z statistic |z| or the test statistic |t| must be greater than the critical value.

If this happens, then we can make a rejection of the null hypothesis

An economist is interested in studying the income of consumers in a particular region. The population standard deviation is known to be $1,000. A random sample of 50 individuals resulted in an average income of $15,000. What is the width of the 90% confidence interval

Answers

Answer:

The width is  [tex]w = 282.8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The sample size is n =  50

  The  population standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = \$ 1000[/tex]

   The sample size is  [tex]\= x = \$ 15,000[/tex]

Given that the confidence level is  90%  then the level of significance can be mathematically represented as

             [tex]\alpha = 100 - 90[/tex]  

             [tex]\alpha = 10 \%[/tex]  

              [tex]\alpha = 0.10[/tex]

Next we obtain the critical value of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the  normal distribution table, the value is  

             [tex]Z_{\frac{0.10 }{2} } = 1.645[/tex]

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

               [tex]E = Z_{\frac{0.10}{2} } * \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

substituting values

                 [tex]E = 1.645 * \frac{1000 }{\sqrt{50 }}[/tex]

=>                [tex]E = 141.42[/tex]

  The width of the 90%  confidence level is mathematically represented as

                      [tex]w = 2 * E[/tex]

substituting values

                       [tex]w = 2 * 141.42[/tex]

                       [tex]w = 282.8[/tex]

 

Researchers recorded that a certain bacteria population declined from 450,000 to 900 in 30 hours at this rate of decay how many bacteria will there be in 13 hours

Answers

Answer:

30,455

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential decay

y = a(1 - b)^x

y = final amount

a = initial amount

b = rate of decay

x = time

We are looking for the rate of decay, b.

900 = 450000(1 - b)^30

1 = 500(1 - b)^30

(1 - b)^30 = 0.002

1 - b = 0.002^(1/30)

1 - b = 0.81289

b = 0.1871

The equation for our case is

y = 450000(1 - 0.1871)^x

We are looking for the amount in 13 hours, so x = 13.

y = 450000(1 - 0.1871)^13

y = 30,455
