A cube has an edge of 2 feet. The edge is increasing at the rate of 5 feet per minute. Express the volume of the cube as a function of m, the number of minutes elapsed.
Answer:
[tex]V(m) = (2 + 5m)^3[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Solid Shape = Cube
Edge = 2 feet
Increment = 5 feet per minute
Required
Determine volume as a function of minute
From the question, we have that the edge of the cube increases in a minute by 5 feet
This implies that,the edge will increase by 5m feet in m minutes;
Hence,
[tex]New\ Edge = 2 + 5m[/tex]
Volume of a cube is calculated as thus;
[tex]Volume = Edge^3[/tex]
Substitute 2 + 5m for Edge
[tex]Volume = (2 + 5m)^3[/tex]
Represent Volume as a function of m
[tex]V(m) = (2 + 5m)^3[/tex]

A ship leaves the port of Miami with a bearing of S80°E and a speed of 15 knots. After 1 hour, the ship turns 90° toward the south. After 2 hours, maintain the same speed. What is the bearing to the ship from port?
Answer:
The bearing is N 55.62° W
Step-by-step explanation:
ship leaves the port of Miami with a bearing of S80°E and a speed of 15 knots.
It then turns 90° towards the south after one hour.
Still maintain the same speed and direction for two hours.
The bearing is just the angle difference from the ship current location to where it started.
Let the speed be km/h
Distance covered in the first round
= 15*1
= 15km
Distance covered in the second round
=15*2
= 30 km
Angle at C = (90-80)+90
Angle at C = 10+90= 100
Let the distance between the port and the ship be c
C²= a² + b² -2abcos
C²= 15²+30²-2(15)(30)cos 100
C²= 225+900+156.28
C²= 1281.28
C= 35.8 km
Using sine formula
30/sin x= 35.8/sin 100
30/35.8 * sin 100 = sinx
0.838*0.9848= sin x
0.8253= sin x
Sin ^-1 0.8253 = x
55.62° = x
The bearing is N 55.62° W
Which property of equality was used to solve this equation? x − 5 = -14 x − 5 + 5 = -14 + 5 x = -9 A. addition property of equality B. subtraction property of equality C. multiplication property of equality D. division property of equality
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
In the second step, they added 5 to both sides to get rid of the -5 on the left side. Since the same thing was done to both sides (addition), the answer is the addition property of equality.
Answer:
Addition property of equality
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is like:
=> x - 5 = -14
=> x - 5 + 5 = -14 + 5
=> x = -9
Since, we add 5 to both sides to solve for "x", the answer is "Addition Property of Equality".
Hope this helps.
Two charged particles, Q1, and Q2, are a distance r apart with Q2 = 5Q1 Compare the forces they exert on one another when F1 is the force Q2 exerts on Q1and F2 is the force Q1 exerts on Q2.
a) F2 = 5F1.
b) F2 =-5F1.
c) F2 = F1.
d) F2 = -F1.
e) 5F2 = F1.
Answer:
d) F2 = -F1.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to Coulomb's law of forces on electrostatic charges, the force of attraction is proportional to the product of their charges, and inversely proportional to the square of their distance apart.
What this law means is that both particles will experience an equal amount of force on them, due to the presence of the other particle. This force is not just as a result of their individual charges, but as a result of the product of their charges. Also, the force is a vector quantity that must have a direction alongside its magnitude, and the force on the two particles will always act in opposite direction, be it repulsive or attractive.
What is the value of x to the nearest tenth?
Answer:
x=9.6
Step-by-step explanation:
The dot in the middle represents the center of the circle, so therefore, the line that is represented by 16 is the radius. Since that is the radius, the side that is the hypotenuse of the small triangle is also 16, since they have the same distance.
The line represented by 25.6 with x as its bisector shows that when we divide it by 2, the other side of the triangle besides the hypotenuse is 12.8.
Now that we have the two sides of the triangle, we can find the last side (represented by x). Use pythagorean theorem:
[tex]a^2 +b^2=c^2\\x^2+(12.8)^2=16^2\\x^2+163.84=256\\x^2=92.16\\x=9.6[/tex]
You are an assistant director of the alumni association at a local university. You attend a presentation given by the university’s research director and one of the topics discussed is what undergraduates do after they matriculate. More specifically, you learn that in the year 2018, a random sample of 216 undergraduates was surveyed and 54 of them (25%) decided to continue school to pursue another degree, and that was up two percentage points from the prior year. The Dean of the College of Business asks the research director if that is a statistically significant increase. The research director says she isn’t sure, but she will have her analyst follow up. You notice in the footnotes of the presentation the sample size in the year of 2017 was 200 undergraduates, and that 46 of them continued their education to pursue another degree.
There is a short break in the meeting. Take this opportunity to answer the dean’s question using a confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of students who continued their education in 2018 and 2017. (Use 95% confidence level and note that the university has about 10,000 undergraduate students).
Answer:
(0.102, -0.062)
Step-by-step explanation:
sample size in 2018 = n1 = 216
sample size in 2017 = n2 = 200
number of people who went for another degree in 2018 = x1 = 54
number of people who went for another degree in 2017 = x2 = 46
p1 = x1/n1 = 0.25
p2 = x2/n2 = 0.23
At 95% confidence level, z critical = 1.96
now we have to solve for the confidence interval =
[tex]p1 -p2 ± z*\sqrt{((1-p1)*p1)/n1 + ((1-p2)*p2/n2}[/tex][tex]0.25 -0.23 ± 1.96*\sqrt{((1 - 0.25) * 0.25)/216 + ((1 - 0.23) *0.23/200}[/tex]
= 0.02 ± 1.96 * 0.042
= 0.02 + 0.082 = 0.102
= 0.02 - 0.082 = -0.062
There is 95% confidence that there is a difference that lies between - 0.062 and 0.102 on the proportion of students who continued their education in the years, 2017 and 2018.
There is no significant difference between the two.
A normal distribution has a mean of 30 and a variance of 5.Find N such that the probability that the mean of N observations exceeds 30.5 is 1%.
Answer:
109
Step-by-step explanation:
Use a chart or calculator to find the z-score corresponding to a probability of 1%.
P(Z > z) = 0.01
P(Z < z) = 0.99
z = 2.33
Now find the sample standard deviation.
z = (x − μ) / s
2.33 = (30.5 − 30) / s
s = 0.215
Now find the sample size.
s = σ / √n
s² = σ² / n
0.215² = 5 / n
n = 109

Find the area of the surface generated by revolving x=t + sqrt 2, y= (t^2)/2 + sqrt 2t+1, -sqrt 2 <= t <= sqrt about the y axis
The area is given by the integral
[tex]\displaystyle A=2\pi\int_Cx(t)\,\mathrm ds[/tex]
where C is the curve and [tex]dS[/tex] is the line element,
[tex]\mathrm ds=\sqrt{\left(\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}\right)^2+\left(\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}\right)^2}\,\mathrm dt[/tex]
We have
[tex]x(t)=t+\sqrt 2\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}=1[/tex]
[tex]y(t)=\dfrac{t^2}2+\sqrt 2\,t+1\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}=t+\sqrt 2[/tex]
[tex]\implies\mathrm ds=\sqrt{1^2+(t+\sqrt2)^2}\,\mathrm dt=\sqrt{t^2+2\sqrt2\,t+3}\,\mathrm dt[/tex]
So the area is
[tex]\displaystyle A=2\pi\int_{-\sqrt2}^{\sqrt2}(t+\sqrt 2)\sqrt{t^2+2\sqrt 2\,t+3}\,\mathrm dt[/tex]
Substitute [tex]u=t^2+2\sqrt2\,t+3[/tex] and [tex]\mathrm du=(2t+2\sqrt 2)\,\mathrm dt[/tex]:
[tex]\displaystyle A=\pi\int_1^9\sqrt u\,\mathrm du=\frac{2\pi}3u^{3/2}\bigg|_1^9=\frac{52\pi}3[/tex]

Answer:
Points : ( 8, - 2π/3 ), ( - 8, π/3 ), ( - 8, - 5π/3 )
Step-by-step explanation:
For the first two cases, ( r, θ ) r would be > 0, where r is the directed distance from the pole, and theta is the directed angle from the positive x - axis.
So when r is positive, we can tell that this point is 8 units from the pole, so r is going to be 8 in either case,
( 8, 240° ) - because r is positive, theta would have to be an angle with which it's terminal side passes through this point. As you can see that would be 2 / 3rd of 90 degrees more than a 180 degree angle,or 60 + 180 = 240 degrees.
( 8, - 120° ) - now theta will be the negative side of 360 - 240, or in other words - 120
Now let's consider the second two cases, where r is < 0. Of course the point will still be 8 units from the pole. Again for r < 0 the point will lay on the ray pointing in the opposite direction of the terminal side of theta.
( - 8, 60° ) - theta will now be 2 / 3rd of 90 degrees, or 60 degrees, for - r. Respectively the remaining degrees will be negative, 360 - 60 = 300, - 300. Thus our second point for - r will be ( - 8, - 300° )
_________________________________
So we have the points ( 8, 240° ), ( 8, - 120° ), ( - 8, 60° ), and ( - 8, - 300° ). However we only want 3 cases, so we have points ( 8, - 120° ), ( - 8, 60° ), and ( - 8, - 300° ). Let's convert the degrees into radians,
Points : ( 8, - 2π/3 ), ( - 8, π/3 ), ( - 8, - 5π/3 )
Money is invested into an account earning 4.25% interest compounded annually. If the accumulated value after 18 years
will be $25,000, approximately how much money is presently in the account?
a $5,875
b. $11,820
c. $19,125
d. $23,960
Answer:
b. $11,820
Step-by-step explanation:
The 'rule of 72' tells you the doubling time of this account is about ...
(72 years)/(4.25) = 16.9 years
So, in 18 years, the amount will be slightly more than double the present value. That is, the present value is slightly less than half the future amount.
$25,000/2 = $12,500
The closest answer choice is ...
$11,820
__
The present value of that future amount is ...
PV = FV×(1 +r)^-t = $25,000×1.0425^-18 ≈ $11,818.73
The present value is about $11,820.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
In 2018, the population of a district was 25,000. With a continuous annual growth rate of approximately 4%, what will the
population be in 2033 according to the exponential growth function?
Round the answer to the nearest whole number.
Answer:
40,000 populationsStep-by-step explanation:
Initial population in 2018 = 25,000
Annual growth rate (in %) = 4%
Yearly Increment in population = 4% of 25000
= 4/100 * 25000
= 250*4
= 1000
This means that the population increases by 1000 on yearly basis.
To determine what the population will be in 2033, we need to first know the amount of years we have between 2018 and 2033.
Amount of years we have between 2018 and 2033 = 2033-2018
= 15 years
After 15 years, the population will have increased by 15*1000 i.e 15,000 more than the initial population.
Hence the population in 2033 will be Initial population + Increment after 15years = 25,000+15000 = 40,000 population.

A quadrilateral has vertices A(3, 5), B(2, 0), C(7, 0), and D(8, 5). Which statement about the quadrilateral is true? A. ABCD is a parallelogram with non-perpendicular adjacent sides. B. ABCD is a trapezoid with only one pair of parallel sides. C. ABCD is a rectangle with non-congruent adjacent sides. D. ABCD is a rhombus with non-perpendicular adjacent sides.
Hey There!!
The answer to this is: A quadrilateral has vertices A(3, 5), B(2, 0), C(7, 0), and D(8, 5). Which statement about the quadrilateral is true?" Line BC is parallel to line AD because their slopes is equal i.e. (0 - 0) / (7 - 2) = (5 - 5) / (8 - 3) which gives 0 / 5 = 0 / 5 giving that 0 = 0. We check whether line AB is parallel to line CD. Slope of line AB is given by (0 - 5) / (2 - 3) = -5 / -1 = 5. Slope of line CD is given by (5 - 0) / (8 - 7) = 5 / 1 = 5 We have been able to prove that the opposite sides of the quadrilateral are parallel which means that the quadrilateral is not a trapezoid. Next we check whether the length of the sides are equal. Length of line AB is given by sqrt[(0 - 5)^2 + (2 - 3)^2] = sqrt[(-5)^2 + (-1)^2] = sqrt(25 + 1) = sqrt(26) Length of line BC is given by sqrt[(0 - 0)^2 + (7 - 2)^2] = sqrt[0^2 + 5^2] = sqrt(25) = 5 Length of line CD is given by sqrt[(5 - 0)^2 + (8 - 7)^2] = sqrt[5^2 + 1^2] = sqrt(25 + 1) = sqrt(26) Length of line DA is given by sqrt[(5 - 5)^2 + (8 - 3)^2] = sqrt[0^2 + 5^2] = sqrt(25) = 5 Thus, the length of the sides of the quadrilateral are not equal but opposite sides are equal which means that the quadrilateral is not a rhombus. Finally, we check whether adjacent lines are perpendicular. Recall the for perpendicular lines, the product of their slopes is equal to -1. Slope of line AB = 5 while slope of line BC = 0. The product of their slopes = 5 x 0 = 0 which is not -1, thus the adjacent sides of the quadrilateral are not perpendicular which means that the quadrilateral is not a rectangle. Therefore, ABCD is a parallelogram with non-perpendicular adjacent sides. Thus, For (option A).

Step-by-step explanation:
The radius of a right circular cylinder is increasing at the rate of 7 in./sec, while the height is decreasing at the rate of 6 in./sec. At what rate is the volume of the cylinder changing when the radius is 20 in. and the height is 16 in.
Answer:
[tex]\approx \bold{6544\ in^3/sec}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Rate of change of radius of cylinder:
[tex]\dfrac{dr}{dt} = +7\ in/sec[/tex]
(This is increasing rate so positive)
Rate of change of height of cylinder:
[tex]\dfrac{dh}{dt} = -6\ in/sec[/tex]
(This is decreasing rate so negative)
To find:
Rate of change of volume when r = 20 inches and h = 16 inches.
Solution:
First of all, let us have a look at the formula for Volume:
[tex]V = \pi r^2h[/tex]
Differentiating it w.r.to 't':
[tex]\dfrac{dV}{dt} = \dfrac{d}{dt}(\pi r^2h)[/tex]
Let us have a look at the formula:
[tex]1.\ \dfrac{d}{dx} (C.f(x)) = C\dfrac{d(f(x))}{dx} \ \ \ (\text{C is a constant})\\2.\ \dfrac{d}{dx} (f(x).g(x)) = f(x)\dfrac{d}{dx} (g(x))+g(x)\dfrac{d}{dx} (f(x))[/tex]
[tex]3.\ \dfrac{dx^n}{dx} = nx^{n-1}[/tex]
Applying the two formula for the above differentiation:
[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = \pi\dfrac{d}{dt}( r^2h)\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = \pi h\dfrac{d }{dt}( r^2)+\pi r^2\dfrac{dh }{dt}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = \pi h\times 2r \dfrac{dr }{dt}+\pi r^2\dfrac{dh }{dt}[/tex]
Now, putting the values:
[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = \pi \times 16\times 2\times 20 \times 7+\pi\times 20^2\times (-6)\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = 22 \times 16\times 2\times 20 +3.14\times 400\times (-6)\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} = 14080 -7536\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dV}{dt} \approx \bold{6544\ in^3/sec}[/tex]
So, the answer is: [tex]\approx \bold{6544\ in^3/sec}[/tex]

0 = -12 + 4y - 3x whats the slope
Answer:
3/4 is the slope
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to put this in slope intercept form
y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
0 = -12 + 4y - 3x
Subtract 4y from each side
-4y = -3x-12
Divide each side by -4
-4y/-4 = -3x/-4 -12/-4
y = 3/4 x +3
Answer:
Slope=3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
0=-12+4y-3x (Add 12 on the other side)
12=4y-3x (Add 3x on the other side)
3x+12=4y (Divide by 4)
y=3/4+3

Answer:
18 - 8 * n = -6 * n
The number is 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n equal the number
Look for key words such as is which means equals
minus is subtract
18 - 8 * n = -6 * n
18 -8n = -6n
Add 8n to each side
18-8n +8n = -6n+8n
18 =2n
Divide each side by 2
18/2 = 2n/2
9 =n
The number is 9

▹ Answer
n = 9
▹ Step-by-Step Explanation
18 - 8 * n = -6 * n
Simple numerical terms are written last:
-8n + 18 = -6n
Group all variable terms on one side and all constant terms on the other side:
(-8n + 18) + 8n = -6n + 8n
n = 9

The distribution of baby weights at birth is left-skewed because of premies (premature babies) who have particularly low birth weights. However, within a close range of gestation times, birth weights are approximately Normally distributed. For babies born at full term (37 to 39 completed weeks of gestation), for instance, the distribution of birth weight (in grams) is approximately N(3350,440).N(3350, 440).10 Low-birth-weight babies (weighing less than 2500 grams, or about 5 pounds 8 ounces) are at an increased risk of serious health problems. Among those, very-low-birth-weight babies (weighing less than 1500 grams, or about 3 pounds 4 ounces) have the highest risk of experiencing health problems.
A. What proportion of babies born full term are low-birth-weight babies?
B. What proportion of babies born full term are very-low-birth-weight babies?
Answer:
a
[tex]P(X < 2500) = 0.02668[/tex]
b
[tex]P(X < 1500) = 0.00001[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean is [tex]\mu = 3350[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 440[/tex]
We also told in the question that the birth weight is approximately Normally distributed
i.e [tex]X \ \~ \ N(\mu , \sigma )[/tex]
Given that Low-birth-weight babies weighing less than 2500 grams,then the proportion of babies born full term are low-birth-weight babies is mathematically represented as
[tex]P(X < 2500) = P(\frac{ X - \mu }{\sigma } < \frac{2500 - \mu}{\sigma } )[/tex]
Generally
[tex]\frac{X - \mu}{ \sigma } = Z (The \ standardized \ value \ of \ X )[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X < 2500) = P(Z < \frac{2500 - \mu}{\sigma } )[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]P(X < 2500) = P(Z < \frac{2500 - 3350}{440 } )[/tex]
[tex]P(X < 2500) = P(Z <-1.932 )[/tex]
Now from the standardized normal distribution table(These value can also be obtained from Calculator dot com) the value of
[tex]P(Z <-1.932 ) = 0.02668[/tex]
=> [tex]P(X < 2500) = 0.02668[/tex]
Given that very-low-birth-weight babies (weighing less than 1500 grams,then the proportion of babies born full term are very-low-birth-weight babies is mathematically represented as
[tex]P(X < 1500) = P(\frac{ X - \mu }{\sigma } < \frac{1500 - \mu}{\sigma } )[/tex]
[tex]P(X < 1500) = P(Z < \frac{1500 - \mu}{\sigma } )[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]P(X < 1500) = P(Z < \frac{1500 - 3350}{440 } )[/tex]
[tex]P(X < 1500) = P(Z <-4.205 )[/tex]
Now from the standardized normal distribution table(These value can also be obtained from calculator dot com) the value of
[tex]P(Z <-1.932 ) = 0.00001[/tex]
[tex]P(X < 1500) = 0.00001[/tex]
A manufacturer claims that the calling range (in feet) of its 900-MHz cordless telephone is greater than that of its leading competitor. A sample of 19 phones from the manufacturer had a mean range of 1160 feet with a standard deviation of 32 feet. A sample of 11 similar phones from its competitor had a mean range of 1130 feet with a standard deviation of 30 feet.
Required:
Do the results support the manufacturer's claim?
Complete question is;
A manufacturer claims that the calling range (in feet) of its 900-MHz cordless telephone is greater than that of its leading competitor. A sample of 19 phones from the manufacturer had a mean range of 1160 feet with a standard deviation of 32 feet. A sample of 11 similar phones from its competitor had a mean range of 1130 feet with a standard deviation of 30 feet. Required:
Do the results support the manufacturer's claim?
Let μ1 be the true mean range of the manufacturer's cordless telephone and μ2 be the true mean range of the competitor's cordless telephone. Use a significance level of α = 0.01 for the test. Assume that the population variances are equal and that the two populations are normally distributed
Answer:
We will fail to reject the null hypothesis as there is no sufficient evidence to support the manufacturers claim.
Step-by-step explanation:
For the first sample, we have;
Mean; x'1 = 1160 ft
standard deviation; σ1 = 32 feet
Sample size; n1 = 19
For the second sample, we have;
Mean; x'2 = 1130 ft
Standard deviation; σ2 = 30 ft
Sample size; n2 = 11
The hypotheses are;
Null Hypothesis; H0; μ1 = μ2
Alternative hypothesis; Ha; μ1 > μ2
The test statistic formula for this is;
z = (x'1 - x'2)/√[(σ1)²/n1) + (σ2)²/n2)]
Plugging in the relevant values, we have;
z = (1160 - 1130)/√[(32)²/19) + (30)²/11)]
z = 2.58
From the z-table attached, we have a p-value = 0.99506
This p-value is more than the significance value of 0.01,thus,we will fail to reject the null hypothesis as there is no sufficient evidence to support the manufacturers claim.
If vectors i+j+2k, i+pj+5k and 5i+3j+4k are linearly dependent, the value of p is what?
Answer:
[tex]p = 2[/tex] if given vectors must be linearly independent.
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear combination is linearly dependent if and only if there is at least one coefficient equal to zero. If [tex]\vec u = (1,1,2)[/tex], [tex]\vec v = (1,p,5)[/tex] and [tex]\vec w = (5,3,4)[/tex], the linear combination is:
[tex]\alpha_{1}\cdot (1,1,2)+\alpha_{2}\cdot (1,p,5)+\alpha_{3}\cdot (5,3,4) =(0,0,0)[/tex]
In other words, the following system of equations must be satisfied:
[tex]\alpha_{1}+\alpha_{2}+5\cdot \alpha_{3}=0[/tex] (Eq. 1)
[tex]\alpha_{1}+p\cdot \alpha_{2}+3\cdot \alpha_{3}=0[/tex] (Eq. 2)
[tex]2\cdot \alpha_{1}+5\cdot \alpha_{2}+4\cdot \alpha_{3}=0[/tex] (Eq. 3)
By Eq. 1:
[tex]\alpha_{1} = -\alpha_{2}-5\cdot \alpha_{3}[/tex]
Eq. 1 in Eqs. 2-3:
[tex]-\alpha_{2}-5\cdot \alpha_{3}+p\cdot \alpha_{2}+3\cdot \alpha_{3}=0[/tex]
[tex]-2\cdot \alpha_{2}-10\cdot \alpha_{3}+5\cdot \alpha_{2}+4\cdot \alpha_{3}=0[/tex]
[tex](p-1)\cdot \alpha_{2}-2\cdot \alpha_{3}=0[/tex] (Eq. 2b)
[tex]3\cdot \alpha_{2}-6\cdot \alpha_{3} = 0[/tex] (Eq. 3b)
By Eq. 3b:
[tex]\alpha_{3} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \alpha_{2}[/tex]
Eq. 3b in Eq. 2b:
[tex](p-2)\cdot \alpha_{2} = 0[/tex]
If [tex]p = 2[/tex] if given vectors must be linearly independent.
