Answer:

The measure of each angle:

152.8°   and     27.2°

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles sum 180°

then:

a + b = 180°

a - b = 125.6°

then:

a = 180 - b

a = 125.6 + b

180 - b = 125.6 + b

180 - 125.6 = b + b

54.4 = 2b

b = 54.4/2

b = 27.2°

a = 180 - b

a = 180 - 27.2

a = 152.8°

Check:

152.8 + 27.2 = 180°

Answers:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the measures of each angle.

x + y = 180°

x - y = 125.6°

180 - 125.6 = 54.4

Now we divide 54.4 evenly to get y.

y = 27.2°

To get x, we substitute y into the equation.

x = 27.2 + 125.6

x = 152.8°

To check, we plug these in to see if they equal 180°.

27.2 + 152.8 = 180° ✅

Answer: 6 / √26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that f(x, y, z) = xe^y + ye^z + ze^x

so first we compute the gradient vector at (0, 0, 0)

Δf ( x, y, z ) = [ e^y + ze^x,  xe^y + e^z,  ye^z + e^x ]

Δf ( 0, 0, 0 ) = [ e⁰ + 0(e)⁰, 0(e)⁰ + e⁰, 0(e)⁰ + e⁰ ] = [ 1+0 , 0+1, 0+1 ] = [ 1, 1, 1 ]

Now we were also given that  V = < 4, 3, -1 >

so ║v║ = √ ( 4² + 3² + (-1)² )

║v║ = √ ( 16 + 9 + 1 )

║v║ = √ 26

It must be noted that "v"  is not a unit vector but since ║v║ = √ 26, the unit vector in the direction of "V" is ⊆ = ( V / ║v║)

so

⊆ =  ( V / ║v║) = [ 4/√26, 3/√26, -1/√26 ]

therefore by equation   D⊆f ( x, y, z ) = Δf ( x, y, z ) × ⊆

D⊆f ( x, y, z ) = Δf ( 0, 0, 0 ) × ⊆ = [ 1, 1, 1 ] × [ 4/√26, 3/√26, -1/√26 ]

= ( 1×4 + 1×3 -1×1 ) / √26

= (4 + 3 - 1) / √26

= 6 / √26

Answer:

√3/2

Explanation:

The directional derivative at the given point is gotten using the formula;

∇f(x,y)•u where u is the unit vector in that direction.

∇f(x,y) = f/x i + f/y j

Given the function f(x, y) = y cos(xy),

f/x = -y²sin(xy) and

f/y = -xysin(xy)+cos(xy)

∇f(x,y) = -y²sin(xy) i + (cos(xy)-xysin(xy)) j

∇f(x,y) at (0,1) will give;

∇f(0,1) = -0sin0 i + cos0j

∇f(0,1) = 0i+j

The unit vector in the direction of angle θ is given as u = cosθ i + sinθ j

u = cos(π/3)i+ sin(π/3)j

u = 1/2 i + √3/2 j

Taking the dot product of both vectors;

∇f(x,y)•u = (0i+j)•(1/2 i + √3/2 j)

Note that i.i = j.j = 1 and i.j = 0

∇f(x,y)•u = 0 + √3/2

∇f(x,y)•u = √3/2

The directional derivative of [tex]f[/tex] at the given point in the direction indicated is [tex]\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}[/tex].

The directional derivative is represented by the following formula:

[tex]\nabla f (x_{o}, y_{o}) = \left[\begin{array}{cc}0\\1\end{array}\right][/tex]

If we know that [tex]\vec v = \cos \frac{\pi}{3}\,\hat{i} + \sin \frac{\pi}{3} \,\hat{j}[/tex], then the directional derivative is:

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

A sugar refinery has three processing plants, all receiving raw sugar in bulk. The amount of raw sugar (in tons) that one plant can process in one day can be modelled using an exponential distribution with mean of 4 tons for each of three plants. If each plant operates independently,a.Find the probability that any given plant processes more than 5 tons of raw sugar on a given day.b.Find the probability that exactly two of the three plants process more than 5 tons of raw sugar on a given day.c.How much raw sugar should be stocked for the plant each day so that the chance of running out of the raw sugar is only 0.05?

Answer: The mean (μ) of the plants is 4 tons. The probability density function of an exponential distribution is given by:

[tex]f(x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x}\\But\ \lambda= 1/\mu=1/4 = 0.25\\Therefore:\\f(x)=0.25e^{-0.25x}\\[/tex]

a) P(x > 5) = [tex]\int\limits^\infty_5 {f(x)} \, dx =\int\limits^\infty_5 {0.25e^{-0.25x}} \, dx =-e^{-0.25x}|^\infty_5=e^{-1.25}=0.2865[/tex]

b) Probability that exactly two of the three plants process more than 5 tons of raw sugar on a given day can be solved when considered as a binomial.

That is P(2 of the three plant use more than five tons) = C(3,2) × [P(x > 5)]² × (1-P(x > 5)) = 3(0.2865²)(1-0.2865) = 0.1757

c) Let b be the amount of raw sugar should be stocked for the plant each day.

P(x > a) = [tex]\int\limits^\infty_a {f(x)} \, dx =\int\limits^\infty_a {0.25e^{-0.25x}} \, dx =-e^{-0.25x}|^\infty_a=e^{-0.25a}[/tex]

But P(x > a) = 0.05

Therefore:

[tex]e^{-0.25a}=0.05\\ln[e^{-0.25a}]=ln(0.05)\\-0.25a=-2.9957\\a=11.98[/tex]

Hence, slope of line passing through  (-2,2) (3,-3) is [tex]-\dfrac{5}{6}[/tex] .

2. (-5,1) (4,-2)

Slope [tex]=\dfrac{-2-1}{4-(-5)}[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{-3}{4+5}\\\\=\dfrac{-3}{9}\\\\=-\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]

Hence, slope of line passing through  (-2,2) and (3,-3) is [tex]-\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex] .

3. (-1,5) (2,-4)

Slope [tex]=\dfrac{-4-5}{2-(-1)}[/tex]

a=6, b=5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

By looking at the sides of the triangles it can easily be seen that some of the sides match up. Side b is similar to the side of 11 and same with side a and the side of 3. Since one side is 16 and the other side on the smaller triangle is 8, the bigger triangle is twice as large than the smaller one. So 3 x 2 = 6 and 11 / 2 = 5.5

Answer:

The answer is 5th angle = [tex]\bold{42^\circ}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that pizza is divided into six unequal slices.

Largest slice has an angle of [tex]90^\circ[/tex].

He eats the pizza from largest to smallest.

Let the difference in angles in each slice = [tex]d^\circ[/tex]

1st angle = [tex]90^\circ[/tex]

2nd angle = 90-d

3rd angle = 90-d-d = 90 - 2d

4th angle = 90-2d-d = 90 - 3d

5th angle = 90-3d-d = 90 - 4d

6th angle = 90-4d -d = 90 - 5d

We know that the sum of all the angles will be equal to [tex]360^\circ[/tex] (The sum of all the angles subtended at the center).

i.e.

[tex]90+90-d+90-2d+90-3d+90-4d+90-5d=360\\\Rightarrow 540 - 15d = 360\\\Rightarrow 15d = 540 -360\\\Rightarrow 15d = 180\\\Rightarrow d = 12^\circ[/tex]

So, the angles will be:

1st angle = [tex]90^\circ[/tex]

2nd angle = 90- 12 = 78

3rd angle = 78-12 = 66

4th angle = 66-12 = 54

5th angle = 54-12 = 42

6th angle = 42 -12 = 30

So, the answer is 5th angle = [tex]\bold{42^\circ}[/tex]

Answer:

= [tex]\frac{1}{4} +\frac{1}{8} / 1/ 2/ 27[/tex]

= 1/4 + (1/8) / 1 * (27 / 2)

= 1/4 + (27 / 8) / 2

= 1/4 + (27 / 8) * (1 / 2)

= 1/4 + (27 / 16)

= 4 / 16 + 27 / 16

= 31 / 16

Answer:

49.923 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that the car traveled 133 miles in h hours at an average speed of x mph.

That is, xh = 133.

We can also write this in terms of hours driven: h = 133/x.

If x was 30 mph faster, then h would be one hour less.

That is, (x + 30)(h - 1) = 133, or h - 1 = 133/(x + 30).

We can rewrite the latter equation as h = 133/(x + 30) + 1

We can then make a system of equations using the formulas in terms of h to find x:

h = 133/x = 133/(x + 30) + 1

133/x = 133/(x + 30) + (x + 30)/(x + 30)

133/x = (133 + x + 30)/(x + 30)

133 = x*(133 + x + 30)/(x + 30)

133*(x + 30) =  x*(133 + x + 30)

133x + 3990 = 133x + x^2 + 30x

3990 = x^2 + 30x

x^2 + 30x - 3990 = 0

Using the quadratic formula:

x = [-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)]/2a  

= [-30 ± √(30^2 - 4*1*(-3990))]/2(1)  

= [-30 ± √(900 + 15,960)]/2

= [-30 ± √(16,860)]/2

= [-30 ± 129.846]/2

= 99.846/2  -----------  x is miles per hour, and a negative value of x is neglected, so we'll use the positive value only)

= 49.923

Check if the answer is correct:

h = 133/49.923 = 2.664, so the car took 2.664 hours to drive 133 miles at an average speed of 49.923 mph.

If the car went 30 mph faster on average, then h = 133/(49.923 + 30) = 133/79.923 = 1.664, and 2.664 - 1 = 1.664.

Thus, we have confirmed that a car driving 133 miles at about 49.923 mph would have arrive precisely one hour earlier by going 30 mph faster

We need to solve a proportion test ( one tail-test ) left test

Normal distribution

p₀ = 63 %

proportion size  p = 51 %

sample size  n = 114

At 5% level of significance   α = 0,05, and with this value we find in z- table z score of z(c) = 1,64  ( critical value )

Test of proportion:

H₀     Null Hypothesis                        p = p₀

Hₐ    Alternate Hypothesis                p < p₀

We now compute z(s) as:

z(s) =  ( p - p₀ ) / √ p₀q₀/n

z(s) =( 0,51 - 0,63) / √0,63*0,37/114

z(s) =  - 0,12 / 0,045

z(s) = - 2,66

We compare z(s) and z(c)

z(s) < z(c)      - 2,66 < -1,64

Therefore as z(s) < z(c)  z(s) is in the rejection zone we reject the null hypothesis

0.39  is the value of n for the video games on their smartphones. Thus option A is correct.

The mathematical discipline known as probability specializes in determining the possibility of an event occurring. Probability, which expresses the probability of a risk, is calculated by dividing the total possible combinations by the frequency of favorable events. Composite reliabilities vary from 0 to 1, with 1 representing certainty and 0 representing hesitation.

In a binomial distribution, p stands for the success probability. It refers to the likelihood that a certain number of experiments will result in favorable results. For all binomial attempts, the probability of winning stays constant.

This suggests that there will be a distribution of 39/100. The result after the calculation will be 0.39. Therefore, option A is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the sides with lengths 48 and 52 units, we would use Pythagoras theorem to find the third side. Let that side be t

52² = 48² + t²

t² = 52² - 48²

= 2704 - 2304

= 400

t = √400

= 20

Considering the next triangle with sides t (20 units) and 12 units, again using the theorem

20² = 12² + y²

where y is the third side

400 = 144 + y²

y² = 400 - 144

= 256

y = √256

= 16 units

Considering the triangle with two sides given as 5 and 13 units, the third side (which is part of the 16 units calculated earlier)

13² = 5² + u²

where u is the 3rd side

169 = 25 + u²

u² = 169 - 25

u² = 144

u = √144

u = 12

The other part of the side of that triangle

= 16 - 12

= 4

Considering the smallest triangle whose sides are x, 5 and 4,

x² = 5² + 4²

= 25 + 16

Solve for slope first.

The slope can be found through 2 points.

[tex]slope=\frac{change \: in \: y}{change \: in \: x}[/tex]

[tex]slope=\frac{7-9}{4-6}[/tex]

[tex]slope=\frac{-2}{-2}[/tex]

[tex]slope=1[/tex]

Using slope-intercept form.

[tex]y=mx+b\\m=slope\\b=y \: intercept[/tex]

[tex]y=1x+b[/tex]

Let x = 6 and y = 9.

[tex]9=1(6)+b[/tex]

[tex]9-6=b[/tex]

[tex]3=b[/tex]

[tex]y=1x+3[/tex]

Answer:

A sample of at least 541 is needed if we wish to be 98% confident that our sample mean will be within 4 hours of the true mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an electrical firm manufactures light bulbs that have a length of life that is approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 40 hours.

We have to find a sample such that we are 98% confident that our sample mean will be within 4 hours of the true mean.

As we know that the Margin of error formula is given by;

The margin of error =  [tex]Z_(_\frac{\alpha}{2}_) \times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

where, [tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = 40 hours

            n = sample size

            [tex]\alpha[/tex] = level of significance = 1 - 0.98 = 0.02 or 2%

Now, the critical value of z at ([tex]\frac{0.02}{2}[/tex] = 1%) level of significance n the z table is given as 2.3263.

So, the margin of error =  [tex]Z_(_\frac{\alpha}{2}_) \times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

                 [tex]4=2.3263 \times \frac{40}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

                 [tex]\sqrt{n}= \frac{40 \times 2.3263}{ 4}[/tex]

                  [tex]\sqrt{n}=23.26[/tex]

                   n = [tex]23.26^{2}[/tex] = 541.03 ≈ 541

Hence, a sample of at least 541 is needed if we wish to be 98% confident that our sample mean will be within 4 hours of the true mean.

Answer:

b = 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

In an exponential equation:

f(x) = a (b)ˣ

Evaluated at x+1:

f(x+1) = a (b)ˣ⁺¹

The ratio between them is:

f(x+1) / f(x)

= (a (b)ˣ⁺¹) / (a (b)ˣ)

= b

So the decay factor b can be found by dividing the consecutive y values.

b = 16 / 12

b = 4/3

Answer: 14

Step-by-step explanation:

12/4 times 3 +5

= 3 times 3 + 5

= 9 + 5

= 14
