Answer:

1 2/3 ounces in each bowl

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to convert 5 cups to ounces

1 cup = 8 ounces

5 cups = 5*8 = 40 ounces

We divide the 40 ounces into 24 bowls

40 ounces / 24 bowl

5/3 ounces per bowl

1 2/3 ounces in each bowl

Answer:

each bowl can contain 5/3 oz. of soup.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 cup = 8 oz.

                   8 oz.

5 cups x --------------  =  40 oz.

                    1 cup

to get the measurement of each bowl,

40 oz. divided into 24 bowls.

therefore, each bowl can contain 5/3 oz. of soup.

Answer: S₁₉ = 855

Step-by-step explanation:

T₄ = a + ( n - 1 )d  = 5 , from the statement above , but n = 4

       a + 3d  = 5 -------------------------1

S₆ = ⁿ/₂[(2a + ( n - 1 )d]  =  10, where n = 6

    = ⁶/₂( 2a + 5d )         = 10

    = 3( 2a + 5d ) = 10

    = 6a + 15d      = 10 -----------------2

Now solve the two equation together simultaneously to get the values of a and d

   a + 3d     = 5

   6a + 15d = 10

from 1,

a = 5 - 3d -------------------------------3

Now put (3) in equation 2 and open the brackets

6( 5 - 3d )  + 15d = 10

30 - 18d + 15d      = 10

30 - 3d                 = 10

            3d            = 30 - 10

             3d           = 20

                         d = ²⁰/₃.

Now substitute for d to get a in equation 3

           a = 5 - 3( ²⁰/₃)

           a = 5 - 3 ₓ ²⁰/₃

              = 5 - 20

          a  = -15.

Now to find the sum of the first 19 terms,

we use the formula

S₁₉ = ⁿ/₂( 2a + ( n - 1 )d )

     = ¹⁹/₂( 2 x -15 + 18 x ²⁰/₃ )

     = ¹⁹/₂( -30 + 6 x 20 )

     = ¹⁹/₂( -30 + 120 )

     = ¹⁹/₂( 90 )

     = ¹⁹/₂ x 90

     = 19 x 45

     = 855

Therefore,

S₁₉ = 855

Answer:

The calculated Z= 10/4.61 = 2.169

The P value is 0.975 .

Since the calculated value of z= 2.169 falls in the rejection region we therefore reject the null hypothesis at 5 % significance level . On the basis of this we conclude that the students at University A do not spend more on textbooks then the students at University B.

Step-by-step explanation:

We set up our hypotheses as

H0 : x 1= x2 and Ha: x1 ≠ x2

We specify significance level ∝= 0.05

The test statistic if H0: x1= x2 is true is

Z =  [tex]\frac{x_1-x_2}\sqrt\frac{s_1^2}{n_1}+ \frac{s_2^2}{n_2}[/tex]

Z = 260-250/ √400/50 + 529/40

Z= 10 / √8+ 13.225

Z= 10/4.61 = 2.169

The critical value for two tailed test at alpha=0.05 is ± 1.96

The P value is 0.975 .

It is calculated by dividing alpha by 2 for a two sided test and subtracting from 1. When we subtract   0.025 ( 0.05/2)from 1 we get 0.975

Since the calculated value of z= 2.169 falls in the rejection region we therefore reject the null hypothesis at 5 % significance level . On the basis of this we conclude that the students at University A do not spend more on textbooks then the students at University B.

Answer:

a). BLUE color

b). 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

a). "Which color was chosen by approximately one fourth of the students?"

  Since one fourth of the students will be represented by one fourth area of the circle given.

That means color of choice represented by the quarter of the circle will be the color liked by one fourth students.

In the figure attached, BLUE color is the choice of one fourth students in the class.

b). Area represented by purple, green and other colors is a quarter of the circle.

If we divide this quarter into five equal sections, then the total of purple and green will be  [tex]4\times \frac{1}{5}[/tex] of the the quarter of the circle.

Measure of the angle defined by purple or green sections = [tex]\frac{4}{5}\times 90[/tex]

                                                                                                     = 72°

Percentage of the students who preferred purple or green = [tex]\frac{72}{360}\times 100[/tex]

                                                                                                     = 20%

Answer:

[tex]\sin \left(\theta \right)-\frac{1}{2}\cos \left(2\theta \rightt)+C[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the graph of r = cos( θ ) + sin( 2θ ) so that we are being asked to determine the integral. Remember that [tex]\:r=cos\left(\theta \right)+sin\left(2\theta \right)[/tex] can also be rewritten as [tex]\int \cos \left(\theta \right)+\sin \left(2\theta \right)d\theta \right[/tex].

Let's apply the functional rule [tex]\int f\left(x\right)\pm g\left(x\right)dx=\int f\left(x\right)dx\pm \int g\left(x\right)dx[/tex],

[tex]\int \cos \left(\theta \right)+\sin \left(2\theta \right)d\theta \right[/tex] = [tex]\int \cos \left(\theta \right)d\theta \right+\int \sin \left(2\theta \right)d\theta \right[/tex]

At the same time [tex]\int \cos \left(\theta \right)d\theta \right=\sin \left(\theta \right)[/tex] = [tex]sin( \theta \right ))[/tex], and [tex]\int \sin \left(2\theta \right)d\theta \right[/tex] = [tex]-\frac{1}{2}\cos \left(2\theta \right)[/tex]. Let's substitute,

[tex]\int \cos \left(\theta \right)d\theta \right+\int \sin \left(2\theta \right)d\theta \right[/tex] = [tex]\sin \left(\theta \right)-\frac{1}{2}\cos \left(2\theta \right)[/tex]

Answer:

Area = 18 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the triangle, let's go through the following steps:

(i) Let the vertices be;

A = (7, -3)

B = (4, -3)

C = (4, 9)

(ii) The sides of the triangle are therefore,

AB, BC and CA

(iii) Using the distance formula, calculate the lengths of AB, BC and CA

[tex]AB = \sqrt{(7-4)^2 + ( -3 - (-3))^2}[/tex]

[tex]AB = \sqrt{3^2 + (0)^2}\\[/tex]

[tex]AB = \sqrt{9}[/tex]

[tex]AB = 3[/tex]

[tex]BC = \sqrt{(4-4)^2 + ( -3 - 9)^2}[/tex]

[tex]BC = \sqrt{0^2 + (-12)^2}[/tex]

[tex]BC = \sqrt{144}[/tex]

[tex]BC = 12[/tex]

[tex]CA = \sqrt{(4-7)^2 + ( 9 - (-3))^2}[/tex]

[tex]CA = \sqrt{(-3)^2 + (12)^2}[/tex]

[tex]CA = \sqrt{9 + 144}[/tex]

[tex]CA = \sqrt{153}[/tex]

[tex]CA = 12.4[/tex]

(iv) Now that we have all the sides, let's calculate the area of the triangle using the Heron's formula.

Area = [tex]\sqrt{p(p-a)(p-b)(p-c)}[/tex]

Where;

p = [tex]\frac{a + b + c}{2}[/tex]

a, b and c are the sides of the triangle.

In our case,

let

a = AB = 3

b = BC = 12

c = CA = 12.4

∴ p = [tex]\frac{3 + 12 + 12.4}{2}[/tex]

p = 13.7

Area = [tex]\sqrt{p(p-a)(p-b)(p-c)}[/tex]

Area = [tex]\sqrt{13.7(13.7-3)(13.7-12)(13.7-12.4)}[/tex]

Area =  [tex]\sqrt{13.7(10.7)(1.7)(1.3)}[/tex]

Area =  [tex]\sqrt{323.9639}[/tex]

Area  = 17.999

Area = 18 square units

OR

To get the area of the triangle, we can use a much simpler approach.

Since the triangle is a right triangle,

(i) the hypotenuse, which is the longest side is CA = 12.4

(ii) the other two sides are AB and BC. These two sides will form the right angle.

Therefore, we can use the relation:

Area = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x base x height

Where;

the base or height can either be AB or BC

Area = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x 3 x 12

Area = 18 square units

PS: In a right triangle, the other two sides apart from the hypotenuse form the right angle.

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.

Using derivatives, it is found that the x-values in which the slope belong to the interval (-1,1) are in the following interval is (-15,-10).

It is given by the derivative at x = x_0, that is:

m = f'(x_0)

In this problem, the function is:

f(x) = 0.2x^2 + 5x − 12

Hence the derivative is:

f'(x) = 0.4x + 5

For a slope of -1, we have that,

0.4x + 5 = -1

0.4x = -6

x = -15.

For a slope of 1, we have that,

0.4x + 5 = 1.

0.4x = -4

x = -10

Hence it is found that the x-values in which the slope belong to the interval (-1,1) are in the following interval is (-15,-10).

The outputs of the functions are 3 and 5

The inputs of the function are 1 and 2.

We have,

f(x) = [tex]2^{x}[/tex]

g(x) = 4x + 12

x = number of months

Now,

x = 3,

f(3) = 2³ = 8

g(3) = 4 x 3 + 12 = 12 + 12 = 24

x = 4,

f(4) = [tex]2^4[/tex] = 16

g(4) = 4 x 4 + 12 = 16 + 12 = 28

x = 5,

f(5) = [tex]2^5\\[/tex] = 32

g(5) = 4 x 5 + 12 = 20 + 12 = 32

x = 6,

f(6) = [tex]2^6[/tex] = 64

g(6) = 4 x 6 + 12 = 24 + 12 = 36

We see that,

At x = 6,

f(5) = 64

g(5) = 36

Thus,

At month 6 the funds in the f(x) bank account exceed those in the g(x) bank account.

An apple orchard has an average yield of 32 bushels of apples per tree if tree density is 26 trees per acre. For each unit increase in tree density, the yield decreases by 2 bushels per tree. How many trees per acre should be planted to maximize the yield?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Let assume that  26+x trees per acre  are planted

then the  yield per acre will be (26+x)(32-2x)

However;

As x = 0 (i.e. planting 26 per acre), we have;

= (26+0) (32 - 2 (0))

= 26 × 32

= 832

As x = 1 (i.e planting 19 per acre), we have:

= (26+1) (32-2(1)

= 27 × 30

= 810

As x = 2 (i.e. planting 20 per acre), we have:

= (26 +2 ) ( 32 - 2(2)

= 28 × 28

= 784

The series continues in a downward direction for the yield per acre.

Thus,  for maximum plant 19 per acre, it can achieved by method of calculus given that the differentiation of the maximum point of x = 1

Finally, due to integer solution, it is not advisable to use calculus as such other methods should be applied.
