Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\sqrt{65}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Magnitude is solved with the following equation: [tex]\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}[/tex]
Therefore, just plug in your x and y-values and solve.
[tex]\sqrt{4^{2}+7{^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{16 + 49}[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{65}[/tex]
Because [tex]\bold{\sqrt{65}}[/tex] cannot be simplified further, this is the magnitude of the vector.
Find the principal invested if $495 interest was earned in 3 years at an interest rate of 6%.
Answer: $2750
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula to calculate interest : I = Prt , where P = Principal amount , r = rate of interest ( in decimal) , t= time.
Given: I= $495
t= 3 years
r= 6% = 0.06
Then, according to the above formula:
[tex]495 = P (0.06\times3)\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=\dfrac{495}{0.18}\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=2750[/tex]
Hence, the principal invested = $2750
What is the most precise name for quadrilateral ABCD with vertices A(–5,2), B(–3, 5),C(4, 5),and D(2, 2)?
Answer: ABCD is a parallelogram.
Step-by-step explanation:
First we plot these point on a graph as given in attachment.
From the attachment we can observe that AD || BC || x-axis .
also, AB ||CD, that will make ABCD a parallelogram , but to confirm we check the property of parallelogram "diagonals bisect each other" , i.e . "Mid point of both diagonals are equal".
Mid point of AC= [tex](\dfrac{-5+4}{2},\dfrac{2+5}{2})=(\dfrac{-1}{2},\dfrac{7}{2})[/tex]
Mid point of BD= [tex](\dfrac{-3+2}{2},\dfrac{5+2}{2})=(\dfrac{-1}{2},\dfrac{7}{2})[/tex]
Thus, Mid point of AC=Mid point of BD
i.e. diagonals bisect each other.
That means ABCD is a parallelogram.

Kenji earned the test scores below in English class.
79, 91, 93, 85, 86, and 88
What are the mean and median of his test scores?
Answer:
mean=87
median=87
Step-by-step explanation:
mean=sum of test score/number of subject
mean=79+91+93+85+86+88/6
mean=522/6
mean=87
Literal meaning of median is medium.
To find the number which lies in the medium, we must rearrange the number in ascending.
79, 91, 93, 85, 86, 88
79, 85, 86, 88, 91, 93

[tex]10[/tex] divisions between $389$ and $390$ so each division is $\frac{390-389}{10}=0.1$
A is 8 division from $389$, so, A is $389+8\times 0.1=389.8$
similarly, C is one division behind $389$ so it is $389-1\times 0.1=388.9$
and B is $390.3$
The graph of F(x), shown below in pink, has the same shape as the graph of
G(x) = x3, shown in gray. Which of the following is the equation for F(x)?
Greetings from Brasil...
In this problem we have 2 translations: 4 units horizontal to the left and 3 units vertical to the bottom.
The translations are established as follows:
→ Horizontal
F(X + k) ⇒ k units to the left
F(X - k) ⇒ k units to the right
→ Vertical
F(X) + k ⇒ k units up
F(X) - k ⇒ k units down
In our problem, the function shifted 4 units horizontal to the left and 3 units vertical to the bottom.
F(X) = X³
4 units horizontal to the left: F(X + 4)
3 units vertical to the bottom: F(X + 4) - 3
So,
F(X) = X³
F(X + 4) - 3 = (X + 4)³ - 3The transformed function is f ( x ) = ( x + 4 )³ - 3 and the graph is plotted
What happens when a function is transformed?Every modification may be a part of a function's transformation.
Typically, they can be stretched (by multiplying outputs or inputs) or moved horizontally (by converting inputs) or vertically (by altering output).
If the horizontal axis is the input axis and the vertical is for outputs, if the initial function is y = f(x), then:
Vertical shift, often known as phase shift:
Y=f(x+c) with a left shift of c units (same output, but c units earlier)
Y=f(x-c) with a right shift of c units (same output, but c units late)
Vertical movement:
Y = f(x) + d units higher, up
Y = f(x) - d units lower, d
Stretching:
Stretching vertically by a factor of k: y = k f (x)
Stretching horizontally by a factor of k: y = f(x/k)
Given data ,
Let the function be represented as g ( x )
Now , the value of g ( x ) = x³
And , the transformed function has coordinates as A ( -4 , -3 )
So , when function is shifted 4 units to the left , we get
g' ( x ) = ( x + 4 )³
And , when the function is shifted vertically by 3 units down , we get
f ( x ) = ( x + 4 )³ - 3
Hence , the transformed function is f ( x ) = ( x + 4 )³ - 3

Suppose that X; Y have constant joint density on the triangle with corners at (4; 0), (0; 4), and the origin. a) Find P(X < 3; Y < 3). b) Are X and Y independent
The triangle (call it T ) has base and height 4, so its area is 1/2*4*4 = 8. Then the joint density function is
[tex]f_{X,Y}(x,y)=\begin{cases}\frac18&\text{for }(x,y)\in T\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}[/tex]

(b) X and Y are independent if the joint distribution is equal to the product of their marginal distributions.
Get the marginal distributions of one random variable by integrating the joint density over all values of the other variable:
[tex]f_X(x)=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty f_{X,Y}(x,y)\,\mathrm dy=\int_0^{4-x}\frac{\mathrm dy}8=\begin{cases}\frac{4-x}8&\text{for }0\le x\le4\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}[/tex]

A) C1 = 0.00187 m = 0.187 cm, C2 = 0.0062 m = 0.62 cm
B) A sample of how the graph looks like is attached below ( periodic sine wave )
C) w = [tex]\sqrt[4]{3}[/tex] is when the amplitude of the forced response is maximum
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data :
mass = 5kg
length of spring = 10 cm = 0.1 m

Suppose that a sample mean is .29 with a lower bound of a confidence interval of .24. What is the upper bound of the confidence interval?
Answer:
The upper bound of the confidence interval is 0.34
Step-by-step explanation:
Here in this question, we want to calculate the upper bound of the confidence interval.
We start by calculating the margin of error.
Mathematically, the margin of error = 0.29 -0.24 = 0.05
So to get the upper bound of the confidence interval, we simply add this margin of error to the mean
That would be 0.05 + 0.29 = 0.34

IF Mean time until failure = 23100
λ = 1/ 23100 = 0.0000432900
What is the probability that a randomly selected fan will last at least 20,000 hours
x ≥ 20000
P(X ≥ 20000) = 1 - P(X ≤ 20000)
1 - P(X ≤ 20000) = [1 - (1 - e^(-λx))]
1 - P(X ≤ 20000) = [1 - (1 - e^(-0.0000432900*20000)
1 - P(X ≤ 20000) = [1 - (1 - 0.4207148)]
1 - P(X ≤ 20000) = 1 - 0.5792851
1 - P(X ≤ 20000) = 0.4207149
11) What is the probability that a randomly selected fan will last at most 30,000 hours?
x ≤ 30000
P(X ≤ 30000) = 1 - e^(-λx)
P(X ≤ 20000) = 1 - e^(-0.0000432900*30000)
= 1 - e^(−1.2987)
= 1 - 0.2728863

111) What is the probability that a randomly selected fan will last between 20,000 hours and 30,000 hours?
0.7271136 - 0.4207149 = 0.3063987
B) What is the probability that the lifetime of a fan exceeds the mean value by more than 2 standard deviations?
More than two standard deviation
X = 23100 + 2(23100) = 23100 + 46200 = 69300
Using the online exponential probability calculator :
P(X > 69300) = 0.04979
C) What is the probability that the lifetime of a fan exceeds the mean value by more than 3 standard deviations?
X = 23100 + 3(23100) = 23100 + 69300 = 92400

The length and width of the rectangle will be (2x – 3) and (x + 2). Then the correct option is D.
What is the area of the rectangle?Let W be the rectangle's width and L its length.
The area of the rectangle is the multiplication of the two different sides of the rectangle. Then the rectangle's area will be
Area of the rectangle = L × W square units
The area is 2x² + x – 6 square feet. Then the factor of the equation is given as,
A = 2x² + x – 6
A = 2x² + 4x – 3x – 6
A = 2x(x + 2) – 3(x + 2)
L × W = (2x – 3)(x + 2)
The length and width of the rectangle will be (2x – 3) and (x + 2). Then the correct option is D.

Answer:
[tex](-\infty,1/4)\cup(1/4,\infty)[/tex]
The answer is C.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the rational function:
[tex]\displaystyle f(x) = \frac{x-3}{4x-1}[/tex]
In rational functions, the domain is always all real numbers except for the values when the denominator equals zero. In other words, we need to find the zeros of the denominator:
[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned}4x -1 & = 0 \\ \\ 4x & = 1 \\ \\ x & = \frac{1}{4} \end{aligned}[/tex]
Therefore, the domain is all real number except for x = 1/4.
In interval notation, this is:
[tex](-\infty,1/4)\cup(1/4,\infty)[/tex]
The left interval represents all the values to the left of 1/4.The right interval represents all the values to the right of 1/4. The union symbol is needed to combine the two. Note that we use parentheses instead of brackets because we do not include the 1/4 nor the infinities.

What is the slope of the line shown below?
A.
B.
C.
-
D.
3
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Option D is correct. Slope of the line shown in the graph is 3.
The slope of the line is the ratio of the rise to the run, or rise divided by the run.
It describes the steepness of line in the coordinate plane.
The slope intercept form of a line is y=mx+b, where m is slope and b is the y intercept.
The slope of line passing through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is
m=(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)
The line is passing through point (2, 2) and (4, 8).
Lets find the corresponding point values y₂= 8, y₁ = 2, x₂= 4 and x₁ =2.

The mean salary of federal government employees on the General Schedule is $59,593. The average salary of 30 state employees who do similar work is $58,800 with \sigmaσσ= $1500. At the 0.01 level of significance, can it be concluded that state employees earn on average less than federal employees? What is the critical value? Round your answer to the nearest hundredths.
Answer:
Yes it can be concluded that state employees earn on average less than federal employees
The critical value is [tex]Z_{\alpha } = - 2.33[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean is [tex]\mu = \$ 59593[/tex]
The sample size is n = 30
The sample mean is [tex]\= x = \$ 58800[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = \$ 1500[/tex]
The significance level is [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]
The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : \mu = \$ 59593[/tex]
The alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_a : \mu < \$ 59593[/tex]
The critical value of [tex]\alpha[/tex] from the normal distribution table is [tex]Z_{\alpha } = - 2.33[/tex]
Generally the test statistics is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]t = \frac{\= x - \mu}{ \frac{ \sigma }{ \sqrt{n} } }[/tex]
=> [tex]t = \frac{ 58800 - 59593 }{ \frac{ 1500 }{ \sqrt{30} } }[/tex]
=> [tex]t = -2.896[/tex]
The p-value is obtained from the z-table
[tex]p-value = P(t < -2.896) = 0.0018898[/tex]
Since [tex]p-value < \alpha[/tex] , we reject the null hypothesis, hence it can be concluded that state employees earn on average less than federal employees
