Engineering The equation for the cross section of a spotlight is y+5= 1/2x^2.

measured in inches. The bulb is located at the focus. How far is the bulb from the

Vertex of the cross section?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]p=1/2\ or\ 0.5\ inches[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

Equation of cross section is [tex]y+5= \frac{1}{2x^2}[/tex]

Generally the equation can be rewritten mathematically as

  [tex]y+5= \frac{1}{2}x^2[/tex]

  [tex]x^2=(y+5)2[/tex]

  [tex](x-0)^2=(y-(-5))2[/tex]

Generally the equation of a parabola with vertical axis is mathematically given by

[tex](x - h)2 = 4p(y - k)[/tex]

Therefore  comparing equations

[tex](x-0)^2=(y-(-5))2[/tex]

[tex]4p=2[/tex]

[tex]p=2/4[/tex]

The distance from the bulb to the vertex of the cross section is given by

[tex]p=1/2\ or\ 0.5\ inches[/tex]

An automobile manufacturer claims that its van has a 59.1 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contracted to test the MPG for this van since it is believed that the van has an incorrect manufacturer's MPG rating. After testing 160 vans, they found a mean MPG of 59.5. Assume the variance is known to be 2.89. A level of significance of 0.1 will be used. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

Test statistic Z = 1.8099

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given that mean of the Population (μ) = 59.1 miles/gallon

Mean of the sample (x⁻ ) = 59.5

The standard deviation of the Population = 2.89

mean of the sample (n) = 160

Step(ii):-

Test statistic

              [tex]Z = \frac{x^{-}-mean }{\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]

              [tex]Z = \frac{59.5-59.1 }{\frac{2.89}{\sqrt{160} } }[/tex]

              Z = 1.8099

Test statistic = 1.8099

Explain what is the difference between the solutions to 2x=10 and 2x > 10

Answers

Answer:

See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

Explain what is the difference between the solutions to 2x=10 and 2x > 10

Given the equations;

2x  = 10

x = 10/2

x = 5

For the equation 2x > 10

x > 10/2

x > 5

The first equation has only one solution which is 5 while the second equation has infinite number of solutions since the values of x can take any value that is greater than 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If you set both equations equal to each other and solve for x, you will get 20.

3x+32 = 5x-8        add 8 to both sides

3x+40 = 5x           subtract 3x from both sides

40 = 2x                 divide by 2 on both sides

Answer:

x = 79.799

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply trigonometric ratio formula to find x.

Thus, find the adjacent side of each triangle using 40° and 65° as reference angles respectively.

✔️Adjacent length of the triangle with reference angle 40°:

tan (40) = 110/adj

adj*tan(40) = 110

Adjacent length = 110/tan(40)

Adjacent length = 131.093 (nearest thousandth)

✔️Adjacent length of the triangle with reference angle 65°:

tan (65) = 110/adj

adj*tan(65) = 110

Adjacent length = 110/tan(65)

Adjacent length = 51.294 (nearest thousandth)

✔️Find x:

x = 131.093 - 51.294

x = 79.799

Becca has 115 students. Susana has 8 fewer students than Becca. Erika has 25 more students than Susana. How many students does Susana have? *

Answers

Answer:

Susana will have 107 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

Becca have students = 115

Susana has 8 fewer students than Becca.

We can write its as:

Becca has 115 students, so Susana will have 115-8 = 107 students

Because fewer means less than so, 8 less than 115 is 115-8

Erika has 25 more students than Susana.

We can write it as:

Susana has 107 students, so Erika will have: 107+25 = 132 students.

because more means we need to add 25 students with number of students in Susana class.

So, Susana will have 107 students.

3mi x 5280 ft/1 mi = 15,840ft + 4,701 ft = 20,541 ft

Do the subtration that the problem wants you to do:

27, 748 ft - 20,541 ft = 7,207 ft

Robero will randomly choose 1 book to read. What is the probability that he will
choose an adventure book?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

How many books are there?

6+5+4+3 = 18 books total

How many are adventure books?

3

3 out of 18 books are adventure books

Robero has a 3/18 probability of choosing an adventure book.

Your teacher might want that probability in the lowest possible form. That is because it is the easiest to use and to understand.

You can do this by dividing both numbers by the "numerator" which is the first number in the fraction, (the adventure book count).

3/3 = 1

18/3 = 6

So the fraction can be reduced to 1/6.

Robero has a 1/6 chance of choosing an adventure book.

On a windy morning, a hot air balloon starts rising and flying away from the top of a hill. The altitude, h, in feet, of the balloon x hours after starting its ascent from the hill, can be modeled by the function:
Part B: There is a positive and negative x intercept for this function. What is the positive x-intercept?
Explain what this x-intercept represents in the given situation.

h(x)=-16x2+64x+80

Answers

The X-Intercept would represent the landing point (bottom of the cliff) because all x intercepts have a y value of 0. In this case it would be 0 feet.

Solution:
h(x)= -16x^2-16x+80x+80
h(x)= -x(16x-16) +5(16x+16)
h(x)= (-x+5)(16x+16)
x intercepts = -1 and 5

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need me to explain further.

Here the positive intercept should be considered as the -1 and 5.

Calculation of the positive intercept:

Since X-Intercept shows the landing point i.e. bottom of the cliff since all x intercepts contains a y value of 0.

In this case it would be 0 feet.

So,

[tex]h(x)= -16x^2-16x+80x+80[/tex]

h(x)= -x(16x-16) +5(16x+16)

h(x)= (-x+5)(16x+16)

x intercepts = -1 and 5

A bacteria culture grows with constant relative growth rate. The bacteria count was 1296 after 2 hours and 531441 after 6 hours. Answer the following questions. 1. What is the relative growth rate

Answers

Answer:

1)k=1.50408

2)=64

3)P(t)=64e^(1.50408t)

4)=118098

5)t=6.42 hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

CHECK THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW

A bacteria culture grows with constant relative growth rate. The bacteria count was 1296 after 2 hours and 531441 after 6 hours. Answer the following questions.

1. What is the relative growth rate?

2. What was the initial size of the culture?

3. Find an expression for the number of bacteria after t hours.

4. Find the number of cells after 5 hours.

5. When will the population reach 1000000?

To find relative growth rate, expression below can be used

P(t)= Po*e^(kt)

Where k= growth rate

Po= initial amount

t= time in hours

We were given The bacteria count as 1296 after 2 hours and 531441 after 6 hours. This can be expressed below as

P(2)= P(o)e^(2k)= 1296.........eqn(1)

P(6)= P(o)e^(6k)= 531441........eqn(2)

If we find the ratio of the two eqn we have

531441/1296 =[P(o)e^(6k)]/[P(o)e^(2k)]

410.0625= e^(4k)

If we take Ln of both side

ln 410.0625=ln(e^4k)

k=1.50408

1)= k=1.50408

2)

From P(2)= Po*e^(2k)= 1296

1296=Po × e^(2×1.50408)

1296= Po × e^(3.00816)

Po=1296/e^(3.00816)

=64

3) the expression is P(t)=64e^(1.50408t)

4). P(5)=64e^(1.50408×5)

=118098

5) P(t)= 1,000,000

1000000=64e^(1.50408t)

1000000/64 = 64e^(1.50408t)

Ln(15625)=ln[e^(1.50408t)]

9.657=e^(1.50408t)

t=6.42 hrs

at 6:00 a.m., the temperature is 58°. At 2:00 p.m., temperature is 76°. Find the rate of change in degrees per hour during this time.

Answers

Answer:

The rate of change is of 2.25 degrees per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change in degrees per hour is given by by the change in temperature divided by the change in time(by number of hours).

In this question:

From 6 am to 2 pm, there are 12 - 6 + 2 - 0 = 6 + 2 = 8 hours

The change in temperature was of 76 - 58 = 18º

Rate of change:

18º/8 = 2.25º

The rate of change is of 2.25 degrees per hour.
