Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of y when x = 7 we must first find the relationship between them.

The statement

y varies directly with x is written as

y = kx

where k is the constant of proportionality

From the question

when y = - 11.7

x = - 3

We have

- 11.7 = -3k

Divide both sides by - 3

k = 3.9

So the formula for the variation is

When x = 7

y = 3.9(7)

Answer:

4i.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the flux through the square, we use the divergence theorem for the flux. So Flux of F(x,y) = ∫∫divF(x,y).dA

F(x,y) = hxy,x - yi

div(F(x,y)) = dF(x,y)/dx + dF(x,y)dy = dhxy/dx + d(x - yi)/dy = hy - i

So, ∫∫divF(x,y).dA = ∫∫(hy - i).dA

= ∫∫(hy - i).dxdy

= ∫∫hydxdy - ∫∫idxdy

Since we are integrating along the boundary of the square given by −1 ≤ x ≤ 1, −1 ≤ y ≤ 1, then

∫∫divF(x,y).dA = ∫₋₁¹∫₋₁¹hydxdy - ∫₋₁¹∫₋₁¹idxdy

= h∫₋₁¹{y²/2}¹₋₁dx - i∫₋₁¹[y]₋₁¹dx

= h∫₋₁¹{1²/2 - (-1)/2²}dx - i∫₋₁¹[1 - (-1)]dx

= h∫₋₁¹{1/2 - 1)/2}dx - i∫₋₁¹[1 + 1)]dx

= 0 - i∫₋₁¹2dx

= - 2i[x]₋₁¹

= 2i[1 - (-1)]

= 2i[1 + 1]

= 2i(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the combinations: Number of ways to choose r things out of n things = C(n,r)

Given word: "georgianna"

It is a sequence of 10 letters with 2 a's , 2 g's , 2 n's , and one of each e, o,r, i.

If we think 10 blank spaces, then in a sequence we need 2 spaces for each of g.

Number of ways = C(10,2)

Similarly,

1 space for 'e' → C(8,1)

1 space for 'o' → C(7,1)

1 space for 'r' → C(6,1)

1 space for 'i' → C(5,1)

1 space for 'a' → C(4,2)

1 space for 'n' → C(2,2)

Required number of different sequences  = C(10,2) ×C(8,1)× C(7,1)× C(6,1)×C(5,1)×C(2,2).

Hence, the correct option is E) C(10, 2)C(8, 1)C(7, 1)C(6, 1)C(5, 1)C(4, 2)C(2, 2)

Therefore, the answer is -41.52.

Answer:

Solution : [tex]-\frac{3}{4}-\frac{3}{4}i[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]-3\left[\cos \left(\frac{-\pi }{4}\right)+i\sin \left(\frac{-\pi \:}{4}\right)\right]\:\div \:2\sqrt{2}\left[\cos \left(\frac{-\pi \:\:}{2}\right)+i\sin \left(\frac{-\pi \:\:\:}{2}\right)\right][/tex]

Let's apply trivial identities here. We know that cos(-π / 4) = √2 / 2, sin(-π / 4) = - √2 / 2, cos(-π / 2) = 0, sin(-π / 2) = - 1. Let's substitute those values,

[tex]\frac{-3\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}i\right)}{2\sqrt{2}\left(0-1\right)i}[/tex]

=[tex]-3\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}i\right)[/tex] ÷ [tex]2\sqrt{2}\left(0-1\right)i[/tex]

= [tex]3\left(-\frac{\sqrt{2}i}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)[/tex] ÷ [tex]-2\sqrt{2}i[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{3\left(1-i\right)}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex]÷ [tex]2\sqrt{2}i[/tex] = [tex]-3-3i[/tex] ÷ [tex]4[/tex] = [tex]-\frac{3}{4}-\frac{3}{4}i[/tex]

Answer:

a.  k = -0.01014 s⁻¹

b.  [tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{dy}{dt} = - \dfrac{In(\dfrac{3}{2})}{40}(y-60)}[/tex]

c.  [tex]\mathbf{y(t) = 60+ \dfrac{60 \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}} \ e^{\dfrac{-In(\dfrac{3}{2})\ t}{40}}}[/tex]

d.  y(t) = 130.485°F

Step-by-step explanation:

A hot metal bar is submerged in a large reservoir of water whose temperature is 60°F. The temperature of the bar 20 s after submersion is 120°F. After 1 min submerged, the temperature has cooled to 100°F.

(Let y be measured in degrees Fahrenheit, and t be measured in seconds.)

We are to determine :

a.  Determine the cooling constant k. k = s−1

By applying the new law of cooling

[tex]\dfrac{dT}{dt} = k \Delta T[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{dT}{dt} = k(T_1-T_2)[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{dT}{dt} = k (T - 60)[/tex]

Taking the integral.

[tex]\int \dfrac{dT}{T-60} = \int kdt[/tex]

㏑ (T -60) = kt + C

T - 60 = [tex]e^{kt+C}[/tex]

[tex]T = 60+ C_1 e^{kt} ---- (1)[/tex]

After 20 seconds, the temperature of the bar submersion is 120°F

T(20) = 120

From equation (1) ,replace t = 20s and T = 120

[tex]120 = 60 + C_1 e^{20 \ k}[/tex]

[tex]120 - 60 = C_1 e^{20 \ k}[/tex]

[tex]60 = C_1 e^{20 \ k} --- (2)[/tex]

After 1 min i.e 60 sec , the temperature  = 100

T(60) = 100

From equation (1) ; replace t = 60 s and T = 100

[tex]100 = 60 + c_1 e^{60 \ t}[/tex]

[tex]100 - 60 =c_1 e^{60 \ t}[/tex]

[tex]40 =c_1 e^{60 \ t} --- (3)[/tex]

Dividing equation (2) by (3) , we have:

[tex]\dfrac{60}{40} = \dfrac{C_1e^{20 \ k } }{C_1 e^{60 \ k}}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{3}{2} = e^{-40 \ k}[/tex]

[tex]-40 \ k = In (\dfrac{3}{2})[/tex]

- 40 k = 0.4054651

[tex]k = - \dfrac{0.4054651}{ 40}[/tex]

k = -0.01014 s⁻¹

b. What is the differential equation satisfied by the temperature y(t)?

Recall that :

[tex]\dfrac{dT}{dt} = k \Delta T[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{dT}{dt} = \dfrac{- In (\dfrac{3}{2})}{40}(T-60)[/tex]

Since y is the temperature of the body , then :

[tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{dy}{dt} = - \dfrac{In(\dfrac{3}{2})}{40}(y-60)}[/tex]

(c) What is the formula for y(t)?

From equation (1) ;

where;

[tex]T = 60+ C_1 e^{kt} ---- (1)[/tex]

Let y be measured in degrees Fahrenheit

[tex]y(t) = 60 + C_1 e^{-\dfrac{In (\dfrac{3}{2})}{40}t}[/tex]

From equation (2)

[tex]C_1 = \dfrac{60}{e^{20 \times \dfrac{-In(\dfrac{3}{2})}{40}}}[/tex]

[tex]C_1 = \dfrac{60}{e^{-\dfrac{1}{2} {In(\dfrac{3}{2})}}}[/tex]

[tex]C_1 = \dfrac{60}{e^ {In(\dfrac{3}{2})^{-1/2}}}}[/tex]

[tex]C_1 = \dfrac{60}{\sqrt{\dfrac{2}{3}}}[/tex]

[tex]C_1 = \dfrac{60 \times \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{y(t) = 60+ \dfrac{60 \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}} \ e^{\dfrac{-In(\dfrac{3}{2})\ t}{40}}}[/tex]

(d) Determine the temperature of the bar at the moment it is submerged.

At the moment it is submerged t = 0

[tex]\mathbf{y(0) = 60+ \dfrac{60 \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}} \ e^{\dfrac{-In(\dfrac{3}{2})\ 0}{40}}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{y(t) = 60+ \dfrac{60 \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}} }[/tex]

y(t) = 60 + 70.485

y(t) = 130.485°F

Answer:

y = 2(x - 3)² + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Here (h, k) = (3, 5), thus

y = a(x - 3)² + 5

To find a substitute (1, 13) into the equation

13 = a(1 - 3)² + 5 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

8 = 4a ( divide both sides by 4 )

a = 2, then

y = 2(x - 3)² + 5 ← equation of parabola in vertex form

Answer:

The two numbers are 1 and 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be a and b.

One number is twice another, so let's let b=2a.

Their reciprocals are 3/2. Thus:

[tex]\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b} =\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Substitute and solve for a:

[tex]\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{2a} =\frac{3}{2}\\[/tex]

Combine the fractions by forming a common denominator by multiplying the left term by 2:

[tex]\frac{2}{2a} +\frac{1}{2a}=\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Combine and cross-multiply:

[tex]3/2a=3/2\\6a=6\\a=1\\b=2(1)=2[/tex]

Thus, the two numbers are 1 and 2.

Answer:

The Width = 28 inches

The Height = 21 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question that:

The width and height of an older 35-inch television whose screen has an aspect ratio of 4:3

Using Pythagoras Theorem

Width² + Height² = Diagonal²

Since we known that the size of a television is the length of the diagonal of its screen in inches.

Hence, for this new TV

Width² + Height² = 35²

We are given ratio: 4:3 as aspect ratio

Width = 4x

Height = 3x

(4x)² +(3x)² = 35²

= 16x² + 9x² = 35²

25x² = 1225

x² = 1225/25

x² = 49

x = √49

x = 7

Hence, for the 35 inch tv set

The Width = 4x

= 4 × 7

= 28 inches.

The Height = 3x

= 3 × 7

= 21 inches

D, 49.42

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔVFT=180-90-43=47

formula

a/sin A = b/sin B/ = c/sin C

So,

FV/sin90=53/sin47

FV=72.4684

FT=√(72.4684)^2-(53)^2

FT=49.4234

Ans:D

The length FT in the given right-angle triangle is 49.42.

So option D is the correct answer.

We are given a right-angle triangle and to find the length of any side we can use Pythagoras theorem or trigonometric identities.

In the triangle, we see that TV = 53 and ∠ FVT = 43°

We will find the length FT by using Pythagoras theorem or trigonometric identities.

What are trigonometric functions?

There are some commonly used trigonometric identities:

SinФ = Perpendicular / hypotenuse

Cos Ф = Base / hypotenuse

Tan Ф =  Perpendicular / Base

We will use Tan Ф =  Perpendicular / Base to find the length FT.

Because we need to use trigonometric identities that have TV and FT.

Tan Ф = FT / TV

Tan 43° = FT / 53

FT = Tan 43° x 53

FT = 0.932515 X 53

FT = 49.42

Thus we got FT = 49.42 using the tan function.

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.

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the two points shown:

[tex](0,0)(6,2)[/tex]

Use these to make an equation in slope-intercept form:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (where x is equal to 0).

Use the slope formula:

[tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} =\frac{rise}{run}[/tex]

Rise over run is the change in the y-axis over the change in the x-axis, otherwise known as the slope. Insert coordinate points:

[tex](0_{x1},0_{y1})\\\\(6_{x2},2_{y2})\\\\\frac{2-0}{6-0}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\frac{2-0}{6-0} =\frac{2}{6} =\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

The slope is [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]. Insert this into the equation:

[tex]y=\frac{1}{3}x+b[/tex]

Now find the y-intercept. Take one of the coordinate points and insert:

[tex](6_{x},2_{y})\\\\2=\frac{1}{3}(6)+b[/tex]

Solve for b. Simplify multiplication:

[tex]\frac{1}{3}*\frac{6}{1}=\frac{6}{3}=2\\\\ 2=2+b[/tex]

Use reverse operations to isolate the variable:

[tex]2-2=2-2+b\\\\0=b[/tex]

The y-intercept is equal to 0. Insert this into the equation:

e. y ≥ 2000

f. y = 2.5(25) + 2000

  y = 62.5 + 2000

  y = $2062.50

g. 2500 = 2.5x + 2000

   2.5x = 500

   x = 200

h. I am sorry I cannot make the graph but hopefully you can figure out how to make it using the info I have given in the above parts of the problem :)

Answer:

  a) position 22

  b) 26

  c) shuffle 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the shuffling occurs so that the bottom card of the top half of the deck (card 26) becomes the bottom card (card 52), while the top card of the bottom half (card 27) becomes the top card (card 1), the sequence of card 1 positions with successive shuffles is ...

  {2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 11, 22, 44, 35, 17, 34, 15, 30, 7, 14, 28, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 43, 33, 13, 26, 52, 51, 49, 45, 37, 21, 42, 31, 9, 18, 36, 19, 38, 23, 46, 39, 25, 50, 47, 41, 29, 5, 10, 20, 40, 27, 1}

That is, after the first shuffle, card 1 is at position 2; after the second shuffle, it is at position 4; and so on.

(a) Hence the position of card 1 after the 7th shuffle is 22.

(b) The top card is in position 52 after 26 shuffles.

__

(c) The top card is in position 26 after 25 shuffles; the bottom card is in position 27 after 25 shuffles. That is when they first touch. (They touch again after 51 shuffles.)

Explanation:

We have 4 options for the first choice and 3 options for the next. So there are 4*3 = 12 different combos possible. The tree diagram below shows 12 different paths to pick from. For instance, the right-most path has us pick the number 4 and the color yellow.
