Step-by-step explanation: When did the calendar change from 13 months?

The 1752 Calendar Change

Today, Americans are used to a calendar with a "year" based the earth's rotation around the sun, with "months" having no relationship to the cycles of the moon and New Years Day falling on January 1. However, that system was not adopted in England and its colonies until 1752.

Shawn's monthly income is $3120.

Given that, Shawn biweekly income is $1560,

Since he earns $1560 in 2 weeks,

so, in 4 weeks = 1560 / 2 × 4 = $3120

Hence, his monthly income is $3120.

Now,

Spending on rent =

30% of $3120 = $936

On Food =

20% of $3120 = $624

On saving =

10% of $3120 = $312

On clothes =

5% of $3120 = $156

On transportation =

11% of $3120 = $343.2

A particular point where f'(x) = 0 in the interval (-2k, 0) is x = -k.

To find the derivative of f(x), we need to use the power rule and get f'(x) = 3x² + 2kx - 2k². To find the critical points where f'(x) = 0, we set f'(x) equal to 0 and solve for x:

3x² + 2kx - 2k² = 0

We can then use the quadratic formula to solve for x:

x = (-2k ± √(4k² - 4(3)(-2k²))) / (2(3))

x = (-2k ± 2k) / 6

Simplifying the expression, we get two solutions: x = -k and x = 2k/3. Since we are looking for a solution in the interval (-2k, 0), the only solution that satisfies this condition is x = -k. Therefore, a particular point where f'(x) = 0 in the interval (-2k, 0) is x = -k.

In any planar triangulation, there are always fewer edges than three times the number of vertices, so the average degree of a vertex must be less than 6.

Let V stand for the triangulation's collection of vertices and E for its set of edges. As each edge adds two degrees to the total degree count, the triangulation's total degree count is equal to twice the number of edges. Thus,

Σdeg(v) = 2|E| where deg(v) is the degree of vertex v and |E| is the number of edges in the triangulation.

|E| = (3/2) |T|, number of triangles in the triangulation is |T| .

Furthermore, we know that the sum of the degrees of the vertices is equal to 3 times the number of triangles, since each triangle contributes 3 to the total degree count:

Σdeg(v) = 3|T|

Putting these equations together, we have:

Σdeg(v) = 3|T| = (3/2) * 2|E| = 3|E|

Dividing both sides by the number of vertices, n, we obtain:

(1/n) Σdeg(v) = 3/ n * |E|

Thus, the average degree of a vertex in the triangulation is strictly less than 6, since the average degree of a vertex in the corresponding graph is at most 2 (since each triangle is incident to at most 3 other triangles).

An explanation of how isohyets relate to Tropical Storm Claudette in 1979 and the formation of a watery surface in region R.

In 1979, Tropical Storm Claudette produced torrential rains when it hit Texas, with the highest one-day total reported in Alvin, Texas, where a record-breaking 42 inches of rain fell in a single day. This remains the 24-hour record for any location in the United States.

On a National Weather Service isohyet map, a rectangular region R has been subdivided into grid areas, each measuring 5 miles by 5 miles. The isohyets show levels of rainfall in inches within the 3-day period of July 24-27, 1979.

If the accumulated rainwater somehow didn't flow away and formed a watery surface in region R, the isohyets would be the level sets of that surface. Isohyets are contour lines that connect points of equal precipitation, and they help visualize the distribution of rainfall over a specific area. In this case, the isohyets would represent the depth of the watery surface at different points within region R, with each contour line connecting points with the same depth of accumulated rainfall.

The coach has 56 options for selecting and ordering one starter and one reserve player for the position.

Probability is a field of mathematics that calculates the likelihood of an experiment occurring. We can know everything from the chance of getting heads or tails in a coin to the possibility of inaccuracy in study by using probability.

The soccer coach wants to choose one starter and one reserve player from a group of 8 players.

First, the coach can choose the starter from the 8 players in 8 ways.

After the starter has been chosen, there are 7 players left to choose from for the reserve position. Thus, the reserve player can be chosen in 7 ways.

Since the order in which the players are chosen matters, there are 8 x 7 = 56 ways to choose and order one starter and one reserve player from a group of 8 players.

Therefore, the coach has 56 possible ways to choose and order one starter and one reserve player for the position.

Answer: 43

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial value of the given problems are [tex]y = 3e^{(-2x)}, y = e^{(x^{2/2)}}, y(x) = ln|e^x - 1| and y(x) = (2/3)(x^{(3/2)} + 7)^{2/3}.[/tex]
The given differential equation is dy/dx = -2y; y = 3 when x = 0.

Here,
dy/dx = -2y
dy/y = -2dx
Integrating both sides
ln|y| = -2x + C
here C is the constant of integration.

Now to solve for C,  the initial condition y = 3 when x = 0:
ln|3| = -2(0) + C
C = ln|3|

Then, the solution to the differential equation
ln|y| = -2x + ln|3|
ln|y/3| = -2x
[tex]y/3 = e^{(-2x)}[/tex]
[tex]y = 3e^{(-2x)}[/tex]
The given differential equation is dy/dx = xy; y = 1 when x = 0.

Similarly the other questions can be done by the same method,
dy/y = x dx
Integrating both sides
[tex]ln|y| = (x^2)/2 + C[/tex]
here C is the constant of integration.
To solve for C,  the initial condition y = 1 when x = 0:
[tex]ln|1| = (0^2)/2 + C[/tex]
C = 0

The n, the solution to the differential equation
[tex]ln|y| = (x^2)/2[/tex]
[tex]|y| = e^(x^2/2)[/tex]
[tex]y = ±e^{(x^2/2)}[/tex]
Since y(0) = 1, we have:
[tex]y = e^{(x^{2/2})}[/tex]
For the next question
[tex]dy/dx = e^{(x+y)}[/tex]; y = 0 when x = 0
[tex]dy/e^{y} = e^x dx[/tex]
Integrating both sides
[tex]ln|e^y| + C_1= e^x + C_2[/tex]
here C_1 and C_2 are constants of integration.
[tex]y(x) = ln|C_3e^x - 1|[/tex]
Here C_3 is a constant of integration.
Utilizing the initial condition y(0) = 0:
[tex]y(x) = ln|e^x - 1|[/tex]
Now,
[tex]dy/dx = \sqrt{(y/x')};[/tex] y(1) = 1
[tex]sqrt{(y)} dy= sqrt{(x')} dxdxdxdx[/tex]

Integrating both sides gives:

[tex](2/3)y^{(3/2)} + C_4= (2/3)x^{(3/2)} + C_5[/tex]

here C_4 and C_5 are constants of integration.
[tex]y(x) = (2/3)(x^{(3/2)} + C_6)^{2/3}[/tex]
here C_6 is a constant of integration.

The probability that a randomly selected Atlantic cod has a length of 39.08 cm or more is 0.9981. The probability that a randomly selected Atlantic cod has a length of 59.08 cm or less is 0.9935. The probability that a randomly selected Atlantic cod has a length between 39.08 and 59.08 cm is  0.9914. The probability of a randomly selected Atlantic cod having a length that is at least 62.99 cm is 0.0002. 48% of all Atlantic cod have a length of more than 50.25 cm.

a) The random variable is the length of a sample of Atlantic cod, denoted by X.

b) The probability that a randomly selected Atlantic cod has a length of 39.08 cm or more can be found using the standard normal distribution table or a calculator. We first standardize the value of 39.08 using the formula

z = (x - μ) / σ, where μ is the mean length and σ is the standard deviation.

Therefore, z = [tex](\frac{39.08- 49.9}{ 3.74 } )[/tex]= -2.89.

From the standard normal distribution table, the probability of a z-score less than or equal to -2.89 is 0.0021.

Thus, the probability of a randomly selected Atlantic cod having a length of 39.08 cm or more is 1 - 0.0021 = 0.9981.

c) The probability that a randomly selected Atlantic cod has a length of 59.08 cm or less can be found using the same method as in part (b).

Standardizing the value of 59.08, we get z = [tex](\frac{59.08- 49.9}{ 3.74 } )[/tex]= 2.45.

Using the standard normal distribution table, the probability of a z-score less than or equal to 2.45 is 0.9935. Thus, the probability of a randomly selected Atlantic cod having a length of 59.08 cm or less is 0.9935.

d) The probability that a randomly selected Atlantic cod has a length between 39.08 and 59.08 cm can be found by subtracting the probability in part (b) from the probability in part (c).

Thus, P(39.08 < X < 59.08) = P(X ≤ 59.08) - P(X ≤ 39.08) = 0.9935 - 0.0021 = 0.9914.

e) The probability that a randomly selected Atlantic cod has a length that is at least 62.99 cm can be found using the same method as in parts (b) and (c).

Standardizing the value of 62.99, we get z = [tex](\frac{62.99- 49.9}{ 3.74 } )[/tex] = 3.49.

Using the standard normal distribution table, the probability of a z-score less than or equal to 3.49 is 0.9998.

Thus, the probability of a randomly selected Atlantic cod having a length that is at least 62.99 cm is 1 - 0.9998 = 0.0002.

f) Yes, a length of 62.99 cm is unusually high for a randomly selected Atlantic cod because the probability of having a value of length at least that high is less than or equal to 0.05.

g) To find the length that 48% of all Atlantic cod have more than, we need to find the z-score that corresponds to a cumulative probability of 0.52 (1 - 0.48).

Using the standard normal distribution table, we find that the z-score is approximately 0.10.

Then, we use the formula z = (x - μ) / σ to solve for x, where μ = 49.9 and σ = 3.74.

Thus, x = μ + σz = 49.9 + 3.74(0.10) = 50.25 cm.

Therefore, 48% of all Atlantic cod have a length of more than 50.25 cm. The units for length are in centimeters.

one solution of the equation is approximately 1.8925469 radians.

The equation is:

tan(x) + 3 = 0

Subtracting 3 from both sides, we get:

tan(x) = -3

Taking the inverse tangent of both sides, we get:

x = arctan(-3)

However, the tangent function is periodic with period π, which means that there are infinitely many solutions to this equation. In general, the solutions are given by:

x = arctan(-3) + nπ, where n is an arbitrary integer.

Using a calculator to approximate arctan(-3), we get:

arctan(-3) ≈ -1.2490458

Therefore, the general solution to the equation is:

x ≈ -1.2490458 + nπ, where n is an arbitrary integer.

If we substitute n = 1, we get:

x ≈ -1.2490458 + π

Using a calculator to approximate this value, we get:

x ≈ 1.8925469

So one solution of the equation is approximately 1.8925469 radians.

The equation rearranged so that m is the independent variable is n = (9/11)m

To rearrange the equation -2m - 5n = 7m - 3n so that m is the independent variable, we need to isolate the term that contains m on one side of the equation. We can do this by adding 2m to both sides and then subtracting 3n from both sides. This gives us:

-2m - 5n + 2m = 7m - 3n + 2m - 3n

-5n = 9m - 6n

Now, we can further isolate the term containing m by subtracting 6n from both sides and then dividing both sides by 9:

-5n - 6n = 9m - 6n - 6n

-11n = 9m - 12n

-11n + 12n = 9m

n = (9/11)m

Therefore, the equation rearranged so that m is the independent variable is:

n = (9/11)m

This equation expresses n in terms of m, where m is the independent variable, and n depends on m. We can use this equation to determine the value of n for a given value of m.

2. In reality, each dollar coin is worth exactly $1. This means that a kilogram of dollar coins would be worth $1000, which is much less than a million dollars.

3. If Rena's estimate were true, then a single dollar coin would be worth more than $1000, which is clearly not the case.

Therefore, Rena's estimate is not reasonable.

Step-by-step explanation:

For part (c)(ii), we need to explain why the theorem in (b) does not apply to g(z).

The theorem in (b) states that for any polynomial with real coefficients, if zo € C is a root, then zo is also a root. However, g(z) = z^2 - 2z does not have real coefficients, as the coefficient of the z term is -2, which is not a real number.

Therefore, we cannot apply the theorem in (b) to g(z) since it does not satisfy the condition of having real coefficients. However, we can still find the roots of g(z) and show that they satisfy the conclusion of the theorem in (b) if we consider g(z) as a polynomial with complex coefficients.

To find the roots of g(z), we set g(z) equal to zero and solve for z:

z^2 - 2z = 0

z(z - 2) = 0

So the roots of g(z) are z = 0 and z = 2.

If we consider g(z) as a polynomial with complex coefficients, then we can apply the theorem in (b) and conclude that if z = 0 or z = 2 is a root of g(z), then it is also a root of g(z) with real coefficients. However, we cannot apply the theorem in (b) to g(z) directly since it does not have real coefficients.

Monthly payment: $1,941.65 (calculated using a loan amortization calculator)

Total interest paid over 10 years: $33,698.03

Option 2: 1 point

Loan amount: $200,000

APR: 3.5% (3.625% - 0.125%)

Cost of 1 point: $2,000 (1% of the loan amount)

Total loan amount: $202,000 ($200,000 + $2,000)

Monthly payment: $1,903.03 (calculated using a loan amortization calculator)

Total interest paid over 10 years: $30,363.06

Comparing the two options, we can see that purchasing 1 point would result in a lower APR and lower monthly payments, which would save Zach money over the life of the loan. However, he would need to pay $2,000 upfront for the cost of the point.

To determine whether the cost of the point is worth the savings in interest, we need to calculate the break-even point. The break-even point is the point at which the savings in interest equal the cost of the point.

Break-even point:

Savings in interest: $33,698.03 - $30,363.06 = $3,334.97

Cost of 1 point: $2,000

Break-even point: $2,000 ÷ $3,334.97 = 0.6

The break-even point is approximately 0.6 years, or 7.2 months. This means that if Zach plans to keep the loan for at least 7.2 months, purchasing 1 point would be worth it as he would save more in interest than he paid for the point. If he plans to pay off the loan earlier than 7.2 months, then he should not purchase the point as he would not have enough time to recoup the cost.

If f(x) can be expressed as a rational function, you can differentiate f(x) to find f'(x), and then express f'(x) as a rational function within the given interval.

To find the first four nonzero terms of the Maclaurin series for f', the derivative of f, you need to follow these steps:

1. Find the Maclaurin series for the original function, f(x).
2. Differentiate the Maclaurin series for f(x) term-by-term to obtain the series for f'(x).
3. Identify the first four nonzero terms of the series for f'(x).

Let's assume you already have the Maclaurin series for f(x) in the form:

f(x) = a₀ + a₁x + a₂x² + a₃x³ + ...

Now, differentiate f(x) with respect to x to obtain f'(x):

f'(x) = a₁ + 2a₂x + 3a₃x² + ...

Here, we have the first four nonzero terms of the Maclaurin series for f'(x).

For the second part of your question, to express f'(x) as a rational function for |x| < r, it's necessary to know the specific function f(x). However, if f(x) can be expressed as a rational function, you can differentiate f(x) to find f'(x), and then express f'(x) as a rational function within the given interval.
