Answer 1

Answer:

  19.9 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount remaining after d days is ...

  a = (1/2)^(d/7)

We want to find d when a = 0.14

  log(a) = (d/7)log(1/2)

  d = 7·log(0.14)/log(1/2) ≈ 19.855 ≈ 19.9

The farmers need to wait about 19.9 days for it to be safe.

One variable in a study measures how many serious motor vehicle accidents a subject has had in the past year. Explain why the mean would likely be more useful than the median for summarizing the responses of the 60 subjects.

Answers

Answer:

The mean is more useful in this case because it would give an average value of the accidents for example 3 accidents per year but the median would give the middle value which may be 5  or greater or much lesser than the average. It would not give an approximate value of occurrences.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean is the averaage of all the values.

Median is the value of the data which gives an estimate of the middle value. Middle values can be different than the average values.

The mean is

1) rigorously defined by a mathematical formula.

2) based on all the observations of the data

3) affected by extreme values

The meadian is

1) computed for open end classes like income etc.

2) not rigorously defined

3) is located when the values are not capable of quantitative measurment.

4) is not affected by extreme values.

The mean is more useful in this case because it would give an average value of the accidents for example 3 accidents per year but the median would give the middle value which may be 5  or greater or much lesser than the average. It would not give an approximate value of occurrences.

Find the first four terms of the sequence given a1=31 and an+1=an−3

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the formula

a(n+1)=an−3

The first term a(1) = 31

For the second term

a(2)

We have

a( 1 + 1) = a(1) - 3

a(2) = 31 - 3

a(2) = 28

For the third term

a(3)

We have

a(2+1) = a(2) - 3

a(3) = 28 - 3

a(3) = 25

For the fourth term

a(4)

That's

a(3+1) = a(3) - 3

a(4) = 25 - 3

a(4) = 22

Find the solution(s) of the quadratic equation 2x2 – 3x – 35 = 0

Answers

Answer: x = 5, x = -7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² - 3x - 35 = 0

Step 1: Find two values whose product = 2(-35) and sum = -3:  -10 & 7

Step 2: Replace the b-value of -3x with  -10x + 7x:

2x² - 10x   + 7x - 35 = 0

Step 3: Factor the first two terms and the second two terms:

2x(x - 5)  +7(x - 5) = 0

Step 4: Write the factored form:

Notice that the parenthesis are identical.  This is one of the factors. The outside values are the other factor:

Parenthesis: (x - 5)

Outside: (2x + 7)

Factored form: (x - 5)(2x + 7) = 0

Step 5: Set each factor each to zero and solve for x:

x - 5 = 0             2x + 7 = 0

   x - 5                      [tex]x=-\dfrac{7}{2}[/tex]

The solutions of the quadratic equation given as 2x² - 3x - 35 = 0 are x=5 and x =-3.5.

Given that:

2x² - 3x - 35 = 0

This is a quadratic equation.

It is required to find the solutions of this equation.

The solution of the quadratic equation of the form ax² + bx + c = 0 can be found using the quadratic formula:

[tex]x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

From the given equation:

a = 2

b = -3

c = -35

Substitute to the quadratic formula.

[tex]x=\frac{-(-3)\pm \sqrt{(-3)^2-4(2)(-35)}}{2(2)}[/tex]

  [tex]=\frac{3\pm \sqrt{9+280}}{4}[/tex]

  [tex]=\frac{3\pm \sqrt{289}}{4}[/tex]

  [tex]=\frac{3\pm 17}{4}[/tex]

So, the solutions are:

[tex]x=\frac{3+ 17}{4}=5[/tex], and [tex]x=\frac{3-17}{4}=-3.5[/tex]

Hence, the solutions are x =5, -3.5.

This function to calculate the area of a rectangle is not very readable. Can you refactor it, and then call the function to calculate the area with base of 5 and height of 6? Tip: a function that calculates the area of a rectangle should probably be called rectangle_area, and if it's receiving base and height, that's what the parameters should be called.

Answers

Answer:

Here is the refactored function:

def rectangle_area(base, height):

   area = base * height

   return area    

print("The area is ", rectangle_area(5,6))

Step-by-step explanation:

The above program has a function rectangle_area that takes two variables base and height as parameters. The function then computes the area of rectangle by multiplying the values of base and height. The result of the multiplication is assigned to the variable area. Then the function returns the resultant area.

print("The area is ", rectangle_area(5,6)) statement calls rectangle_area() method by passing values of base and height i.e. 5 and 6 to compute the area. The output of this program is:

The area is 30

Note that the use of rectangle_area function name describes what the function does i.e. it computes the area of rectangle. By naming the parameters as base and height that clearly depicts that in order to compute rectangle are we need the base and height of rectangle. So this makes the code readable.

We need to get a common denominator of 24

5/12 *2/2  - 7/8 *3/3

10/24 - 21/24

-11/24

Answer:

12*2 = 24 5*2 = 10

10/24

8*3 = 24 7*3 = 21

21/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1:

The pair of <JKL and <LKM can be referred to as linear pairs. They are two adjacent angles that are formed from the intersecting of two lines.

Question 2:

Given that <KLM = x°

<KML = 50°

<JKL = (2x - 15)°

According to the exterior angle theorem, exterior ∠ JKL = <KLM + KML.

2x - 15 = x + 50

x = 65

Therefore, <KLM = 65°

Answers

Answer:

We can see that for this case the vertex is [tex] V= (0,0)[/tex]

The values for a and b are:

[tex] a = \sqrt{169}=13, b= \sqrt{25}=1[/tex]

Then the ellipse have the major axis on x.

In order to find the two foci we need to use the following formula:

[tex] c =\sqrt{a^2 -b^2}[/tex]

And replacing we got:

[tex] c =\sqrt{169-25}= \pm 12[/tex]

And then the two foci are (12,0) and (-12,0)

And the covertex are on this case (-13,0) (13,0) and (0,5) (0,-5) on the y axis

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem we have the following equation given:

[tex]\frac{x^2}{169} + \frac{y^2}{25}= 1[/tex]

If we compare this with the general expression of an ellipse given by:

[tex] \frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}+\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}= 1[/tex]

We can see that for this case the vertex is [tex] V= (0,0)[/tex]

The values for a and b are:

[tex] a = \sqrt{169}=13, b= \sqrt{25}=1[/tex]

Then the ellipse have the major axis on x.

In order to find the two foci we need to use the following formula:
