Answer:
[tex]r=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}[/tex] and [tex]r=-\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
when you solve for r in the given equation, you need to apply the square root property, which gives positive and negative answers (both should therefore be considered):
[tex]r^2=\frac{3}{16} \\r=+/-\sqrt{\frac{3}{16}} \\r=+/-\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}[/tex]
then you need to include these two possible solutions:
[tex]r=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}[/tex] and [tex]r=-\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}[/tex]
Find an equation for the line tangent to the curve at the point defined by the given value of d²y/dx².
At this point. x = 2 cos t, y = 2 sin t, t=π/4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
x = 2cost,
t = (1/2)arccosx
y = 2sint
dy/dx = dy/dt . dt/dx
dy/dt = 2cost
dt/dx = -1/√(1 - x²)
dy/dx = -2cost/√(1 - x²)
Differentiate again to obtain d²y/dx²
d²y/dx² = 2sint/√(1 - x²) - 2xcost/(1 - x²)^(-3/2)
At t = π/4, we have
(√2)/√(1 - x²) - (√2)x(1 - x²)^(3/2)

Answer:
[tex] \boxed{ \sf{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{x - 2}}}}}[/tex]Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] \sf{x - 2} \: and \: { {x}^{2} + x - 6}[/tex]
To find the H.C.F of the algebraic expressions, they are to be factorised and a common factor or the product of common factors is obtained as their H.C.F
Let's solve
First expression = x - 2
Second expression = x + x - 6
Here, we have to find the two numbers which subtracts to 1 and multiplies to 6
= x + ( 3 - 2 ) x + 6
Distribute x through the parentheses
= x + 3x - 2x + 6
Factor out x from the expression
= x ( x + 3 ) - 2x + 6
Factor out -2 from the expression
= x ( x + 3 ) - 2 ( x + 3 )
Factor out x+3 from the expression
= ( x + 3 ) ( x - 2 )
Here, x - 2 is common in both expression.
Thus, H.C.F = x - 2

Answer:
x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
by factorization method
1) x - 2
2) x^2 + x - 6
by splitting method
x^2 + 3x - 2x - 6
taking separate common from the first two terms and last two terms
x(x + 3) - 2(x + 3)
now writing x+3 once and the other term to get the right answer
(x + 3)(x - 2)
in both parts just see the similar term and write it as HCF
HCF= x - 2
and the second method by which you can get this answer is division method

According to the Empirical Rule, 99.7% of scores in a normal distribution fall within 2 standard deviations of the mean.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to check the validity of the given statement. The statement is false.
Under the empirical rule, following a normal distribution, 99.7% of observed data lies within 3 standard deviations from the mean while 95% of observed data lies within 2 standard deviation from the mean and 68% of observed data lies within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
Please check attachment for diagrammatic representation of the empirical rule.
A 160-lb man carries a 5-lb can of paint up a helical staircase that encircles a silo with radius 20 ft. If the silo is 90 ft high and the man makes exactly three complete revolutions, how much work is done by the man against gravity in climbing to the top
Weight of man and paint = 160 + 5 = 165 total pounds.
Gravitational force is independent of the path taken so we can ignore the radius of the silo.
Work done = total weight x height
The problem says he climbs to the top so overall height is 90 feet
Work = 165 lbs x 90 ft = 14,850 ft-lbs
which equation represents a circle with the center at two, -8 and a radius of 11
Answer:
( x-2)^2 + ( y +8) ^2 =121
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a circle can be written as
( x-h)^2 + ( y-k) ^2 = r^2
where ( h,k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius
( x-2)^2 + ( y- -8) ^2 = 11^2
( x-2)^2 + ( y +8) ^2 =121
Answer:
(x - 2)² + (y + 8)² = 11²
Step-by-step explanation:
General equation for a circle
( x - h )² + ( y - k )² = r², where (h,k) is the center and r ,radius..
with center ( 2,-8 ) and radius 11
(x - 2)² + (y + 8)² = 11²

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x^2 + 2x + 3 and g(x) = x + 4.
f(g(x)) = (x + 4)^2 + 2(x + 4) + 3
= x^2 + 4x + 4x + 16 + 2x + 8 + 3
= x^2 + 8x + 16 + 2x + 11
= x^2 + 10x + 27.
x = 2.
f(g(2)) = 2^2 + 10 * 2 + 27
= 4 + 20 + 27
= 31 + 20
= 51.

what would be the answer for f(0) = -3x+7?
Answer: 7
Step-by-step explanation:
f(0) means that x is equal to zero and so you substitute all the x's for zeros which means -3 times 0 plus 7 is equal to 7
Answer:
[tex]x=\frac{7}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Since any number multiplied by zero equals zero, our equation is really:
0 = -3x+7
First, we'd have to subtract the 7 from both sides:
-7 = -3x
Now we need to divide the negative three from both sides to isolate the x.
7/3 = x
So, our answer is x=7/3

Salema's score on a test was 80%. If the test was worth a total of 60 points, how many points did Salema earn?
Answer:
48
Step-by-step explanation:
Do 60*.80
60 represent the total points the test was worth
.80 represents the % number
The percentage is calculated by dividing the required value by the total value and multiplying by 100.
Required percentage value = a
total value = b
Percentage = a/b x 100
100% = 60
80% = 48
The points Salema earned are 48 points.
What is a percentage?The percentage is calculated by dividing the required value by the total value and multiplying by 100.
Example:
Required percentage value = a
total value = b
Percentage = a/b x 100
Example:
50% = 50/100 = 1/2
25% = 25/100 = 1/4
20% = 20/100 = 1/5
10% = 10/100 = 1/10
We have,
Salema's score = 80%
Total score in the test = 60 points
Salema's score.
= 80% of 60 points
= 80/100 x 60
= 48

d)0.06
the probability that a randomly selected team from Littletown goes to the city and state playoffs is [tex]0.06[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability that a baseball team goes to city playoffs is 0.30.
P(baseball team goes to city playoffs)=0.30
The probability that the team goes to state playoffs given that the team goes to the city playoffs is 0.20.
P(team goes to state playoffs given that the team goes to the city playoffs)=0.20
From our knowledge of set, we know that
P(A | B)= P(A ∩ C)/P(C)
where A= city playoffs
B= state playoffs
P(State play off | city play off)=0.20
P(State play off ∩ city play off)/P(city play off,)=0.20
P(State play off ∩ city play off)/0.30 =0.20
P(State play off ∩ city play off)= 0.30 × 0.20
= 0.06
Hence,the probability that a randomly selected team from Littletown goes to the city and state playoffs is 0.06

Step-by-step explanation:
They are two way to solution.
METHOD 1:Factor the polynomial on the left side of the equation:
[tex]2x^2+4xy-48y^2=2(x^2+2xy-24y^2)=2(x^2+6xy-4xy-24y^2)\\\\=2\bigg(x(x+6y)-4y(x+6y)\bigg)=2(x+6y)(x-4y)[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]2x^2+4xy-48y^2=2(x+By)(x-4y)\\\Downarrow\\2(x+6y)(x-4y)=2(x+By)(x-4y)\to\boxed{\bold{B=6}}[/tex]
METHOD 2:Multiply everything on the right side of the equation using the distributive property and FOIL:
[tex]2(x+By)(x-4y)=\bigg((2)(x)+(2)(By)\bigg)(x-4y)\\\\=(2x+2By)(x-4y)=(2x)(x)+(2x)(-4y)+(2By)(x)+(2By)(-4y)\\\\=2x^2-8xy+2Bxy-8By^2=2x^2+(2B-8)xy-8By^2[/tex]
Compare polynomials:
[tex]2x^2+4xy-48y^2=2x^2+(2B-8)xy-8By^2[/tex]
From here we have two equations:

[tex]1)\\2B-8=4[/tex] add 8 to both sides
[tex]2B=12[/tex] divide both sides by 2

[tex]=\frac{1}{100-1}[254001-\frac{1}{100}(5026)^{2}]\\\\=\frac{1}{99}\times 1394.24\\\\=14.08323\\\\\approx 14.08[/tex]
Thus, the standard deviation of the weight of the mice is 14.08 grams.

Answer:
8 pounds of cheaper candy,
17.5 pounds of expensive candy
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's define some variables. Let's say the amount of pounds of candy that sells for $2.20/lb is x, and the $7.30 is y. Now we can write some equations!
x + y = 25.5
[tex]\frac{2.2x + 7.3y}{25.5} = 5.7[/tex]
We can start substitution. We can say that x = 25.5 - y. Plugging this into our second equation, we get:
y = 17.5
Plugging this in, we find that:
x = 8.
