The value of B and C for barium(Ba) is 146 and 56 respectively .

Given,

239/94 Pu + 1/0 n ⇒ B/C Ba + 91/38 Sr + 3 1/0 n

Sum of mass number in reactant side is 239+1=240

Sum of atomic number in reactant side is 94+0=94

so the product side sum of mass number should also be 240 and that of atomic number should be 94 .

So to calculate the mass number of barium,

B + 91 + 3*1 = 240

B = 146

Next to calculate the atomic number,

C + 38 + 3*0 = 94

C = 56

Thus the value of atomic number (C) and mass  number (B) is 56 and 146 respectively .

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

y = 3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

here slope m = 3 , then

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute (3, 7 ) into the partial equation

7 = 3(3) + c = 9 + c ( subtract 9 from both sides )

- 2 = c

y = 3x - 2 ← equation of line

The number of k-ary trees on n vertices is k^(n-1), as stated earlier.

To count the number of k-ary trees on n vertices, we can use the recursive formula:

[tex]T(n) = k^{(n-1)} for n > 0, and T(0) = 1.[/tex]

The reasoning behind this formula is that if we start with a single vertex, we can add k-1 branches coming out of it to create a tree with 2 vertices. Then, for each subsequent vertex we add, we can attach k branches to it, and there are n-1 vertices left to add branches to.

The total number of k-ary trees on n vertices is the product of [tex]k^{(n-1)}[/tex] for each vertex added.

If k = 2 and n = 3, we can build the following trees:

To minimize the cost of the container, we need to find the dimensions that will give us the smallest surface area, since the cost is based on the surface area of the container.

Let's start by using the formula for the volume of a rectangular box:
V = lwh
We know that the volume should be 10 m³, and that the length of the base is twice the width, so we can write:
10 = 2w * w * h
Simplifying:
10 = 2w²h
w²h = 5
Now we need to find an expression for the surface area of the container. Since it has an open top, we don't need to include the cost of any material for the top of the box. The surface area is just the sum of the areas of the four sides and the base:
A = 2lw + 2lh + wh
Substituting l = 2w and h = 5/w² from the volume equation:
A = 4w² + 20/w
To find the minimum cost, we need to take the derivative of this expression and set it equal to zero:
A' = 8w - 20/w² = 0
Multiplying both sides by w²:
8w³ - 20 = 0
w³ = 2.5
w ≈ 1.4 m
Using the volume equation to find the height:
h = 5/w² ≈ 1.8 m
And the length:
l = 2w ≈ 2.8 m
So the dimensions of the container that will minimize cost are:
base length ≈ 2.8 m
base width ≈ 1.4 m
height ≈ 1.8 m
To find the minimum cost, we can substitute these values into the surface area expression:
A = 4w² + 20/w ≈ 25.6 m²
The cost of the base material is $12 per m², so the cost of the base is:
$12 * 2.8m * 1.4m ≈ $47
The cost of the side material is $1.6 per m², so the cost of the sides is:
$1.6 * 25.6m² ≈ $41
The total cost is:
$47 + $41 ≈ $88
So the minimum cost of the container is approximately $88.

This value is approximately equal to -0.726. To use the sequence of partial sums to prove convergence, we need to find the limit of the sequence of partial sums. The partial sum for the first n terms of the series is:

Sn = Ση=4n 5/n2-31

We want to show that this sequence of partial sums converges to some limit L. To do this, we can use the fact that the series is absolutely convergent. This means that the series of absolute values converges, which implies that the series itself converges. We can see that the series of absolute values is:

Ση=4n |5/n2-31|

Since all terms are positive, we can drop the absolute value signs:

Ση=4n 5/n2-31

Now, we can use the comparison test to show that this series converges. We know that:

5/n2-31 < 5/n2

Therefore, we can compare our series to the series:

Ση=1∞ 5/n2

which we know converges by the p-test. Since the terms of our series are smaller than the terms of the convergent series, our series must also converge.

Now that we have shown that the series converges, we can find its limit L by taking the limit of the sequence of partial sums. That is:

lim n→∞ Ση=4n 5/n2-31 = L

We can use the fact that the series is absolutely convergent to rearrange the terms of the series:

Ση=4n 5/n2-31 = Ση=1n 5/η2-31 - Ση=1∞ 5/η2-31

The second series on the right-hand side is a convergent series, so it must have a finite sum. Therefore, as n approaches infinity, the sum of the first series on the right-hand side approaches the sum of the entire series:

lim n→∞ Ση=1n 5/η2-31 = L + Ση=1∞ 5/η2-31

Solving for L, we get:

L = lim n→∞ Ση=1n 5/η2-31 - Ση=1∞ 5/η2-31

Since we know that the second series on the right-hand side has a finite sum, we can evaluate it:

Ση=1∞ 5/η2-31 = 5/1-31 + 5/4-31 + 5/9-31 + ...

This is a convergent p-series with p=2, so we can evaluate it using the formula:

Ση=1∞ 1/η2 = π2/6

Substituting this value into our expression for L, we get:

L = lim n→∞ Ση=1n 5/η2-31 - π2/6

We can evaluate the limit using the integral test:

∫1∞ 5/x2-31 dx = lim n→∞ Ση=1n 5/η2-31

This integral evaluates to:

lim t→∞ 5/sqrt(31)(arctan(sqrt(31)/t) - arctan(sqrt(31)))

= 5/sqrt(31) * π/2

Therefore, our final answer is:

L = 5/sqrt(31) * π/2 - π2/6

- ΣX = 324
- ΣY = 393
- ΣX² = 15210
- ΣY² = 17150
- ΣXY = 2599

Now, let's find the correlation coefficient (r) using the formula:

r = (n * ΣXY - ΣX * ΣY) / sqrt((n * ΣX² - (ΣX)²) * (n * ΣY² - (ΣY)²))

Where n is the number of households (10 in this case).

Plugging the given values into the formula:

r = (10 * 2599 - 324 * 393) / sqrt((10 * 15210 - 324²) * (10 * 17150 - 393²))

After calculating, we get:

To find the possible value(s) of the constant k that give the function y = x^4 – 2kx^3 - 10x^2 + k^2x a local extrema at x = 1, we need to take the derivative of the function and set it equal to 0:

y' = 4x^3 - 6kx^2 - 20x + k^2

At x = 1, this becomes:

4 - 6k - 20 + k^2 = 0

Simplifying:

k^2 - 6k - 16 = 0

Using the quadratic formula, we get:

k = 3 ± √25

So the possible values of k are k = 8 and k = -2.

To check that these values give a local extrema at x = 1, we can use the second derivative test. Taking the second derivative of the function:

y'' = 12x^2 - 12kx - 20

At x = 1, this becomes:

12 - 12k - 20 = -12k - 8

For k = 8, we have y''(1) = -104, which is negative, so x = 1 is a local maximum. For k = -2, we have y''(1) = 8, which is positive, so x = 1 is a local minimum.

Using a significance level of 0.05 and degrees of freedom of 107, the critical value for a two-tailed test is ±1.984. Since the calculated t-value (-1.387) does not exceed the critical value, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

As n approaches infinity, -72n^2 also approaches infinity. The natural logarithm of infinity is also infinity. Therefore, the limit of the sequence diverges: lim(n→∞) c_n = ∞ Your answer: DIV

To determine the limit or divergence of the sequence c_n = ln(4n - 7)/(6n + 4), we can use the limit laws and theorems of calculus.

First, we can simplify the expression inside the natural logarithm by factoring out 4n from the numerator and denominator:

c_n = ln(4n(1 - 7/(4n)))/(2(3n + 2))
c_n = ln(4n) + ln(1 - 7/(4n)) - ln(2) - ln(3n + 2)

Next, we can use the fact that ln(x) is a continuous function to take the limit inside the natural logarithm:

lim n→∞ ln(4n) = ln(lim n→∞ 4n) = ln(infinity) = infinity

lim n→∞ ln(2) = ln(2)

Using the theorem that the limit of a sum is the sum of the limits, we can add the last two terms together and simplify:

lim n→∞ c_n = infinity - ln(2) - lim n→∞ ln(3n + 2)/(6n + 4)

Finally, we can use L'Hopital's Rule to evaluate the limit of the natural logarithm fraction:

lim n→∞ ln(3n + 2)/(6n + 4) = lim n→∞ (1/(3n + 2))/(6/(6n + 4))
= lim n→∞ (2/(18n + 12)) = 0

Therefore, the limit of c_n as n approaches infinity is:

lim n→∞ c_n = infinity - ln(2) - 0 = infinity

Since the limit of the sequence is infinity, the sequence diverges. Therefore, the answer is DIV.
Let's determine the limit of the sequence or show that it diverges using the appropriate Limit Laws or theorems.

Given sequence: c_n = ln(4n - 76n + 4)

We need to find: lim(n→∞) c_n

Step 1: Rewrite the sequence
c_n = ln(4n - 76n + 4)

Step 2: Factor out the highest power of n in the argument of the natural logarithm
c_n = ln(n^2 (4/n - 76 + 4/n^2))

Step 3: Calculate the limits of each term in the parentheses as n→∞
lim(n→∞) 4/n = 0
lim(n→∞) 4/n^2 = 0

Step 4: Replace the terms with their limits
c_n = ln(n^2 (4 - 76 + 0))

Step 5: Simplify the expression
c_n = ln(-72n^2)

As n approaches infinity, -72n^2 also approaches infinity. The natural logarithm of infinity is also infinity. Therefore, the limit of the sequence diverges:

lim(n→∞) c_n = ∞

Your answer: DIV

The limit of the sequence cn as n approaches infinity is ln(2/3).

We can use the limit laws to determine the limit of the sequence cn = ln(4n -7)/(6n + 4) as n approaches infinity.

First, we can simplify the expression inside the natural logarithm by dividing both the numerator and denominator by n:

cn = ln((4n/n) - (7/n))/((6n/n) + (4/n))

cn = ln(4 - 7/n)/(6 + 4/n)

As n approaches infinity, both 7/n and 4/n approach zero, so we have:

cn = ln(4 - 0)/(6 + 0)

cn = ln(4/6)

cn = ln(2/3)

Therefore, the limit of the sequence cn as n approaches infinity is ln(2/3).

The problem statement as written does not have a solution.

Let the total number of incoming freshmen be [tex]$n$[/tex]. When they are lined up in columns of 23, we know that [tex]$n$[/tex] is one less than a multiple of 23 since there are 22 people in the last column. Therefore, we can write:

[tex]$$n=23 a-1$$[/tex]

for some integer a Similarly, when they are lined up in columns of 21 , we know that n is two less than a multiple of 21 since there are 14 people in the last column. Therefore, we can write:

[tex]$$n=21 b-2$$[/tex]

for some integer b.

We want to solve for n. One approach is to use modular arithmetic. We can rewrite the first equation as:

[tex]$$n+1 \equiv 0(\bmod 23)$$[/tex]

which means that [tex]$n+1$[/tex] is a multiple of 23. Similarly, we can rewrite the second equation as:

[tex]$n+2 \equiv 0(\bmod 21)$[/tex]

which means that n+2 is a multiple of 21 .

We can use these congruences to eliminate n and solve for the unknown integers a and b. Subtracting the second congruence from the first, we get:

[tex]$$n+1-(n+2) \equiv 0(\bmod 23)-(\bmod 21)$$[/tex]

which simplifies to:

[tex]$$-1 \equiv 2(\bmod 23)-(\bmod 21)$$[/tex]

or equivalently:

[tex]$$-1 \equiv 2(\bmod 2)$$[/tex]

This is a contradiction, so there is no solution in integers. Therefore, something must be wrong with the problem statement.

One possibility is that there is a typo and the number of people in the last column of the lineup of 23 should be 21 instead of 22. In that case, we would have:

[tex]$$n=23 a-2$$[/tex]

and

[tex]$$n=21 b-7$$[/tex]

Using modular arithmetic as before, we get:

[tex]$$n+2 \equiv 0(\bmod 23)$$[/tex]

and

[tex]$$n+7 \equiv 0(\bmod 21)$$[/tex]

Subtracting the second congruence from the first, we get:

[tex]$$n+2-(n+7) \equiv 0(\bmod 23)-(\bmod 21)$$[/tex]

which simplifies to:

[tex]$$-5 \equiv 2(\bmod 2)$$[/tex]

This is another contradiction, so this possibility is also not valid.

Therefore, the problem statement as written does not have a solution.

The answer is indeterminate.

To determine whether an instrument with 8 questions (or variables) is internally consistent, we typically use a measure of internal consistency called Cronbach's alpha. Cronbach's alpha is a measure of how closely related a set of variables are as a group. It measures the extent to which the variables in a scale are related or correlated to each other.

Cronbach's alpha ranges between 0 and 1. A value of 1 indicates perfect internal consistency (all variables are highly correlated), while a value of 0 indicates no internal consistency (all variables are independent of each other).

The value of Cronbach's alpha is typically interpreted as follows:

0.9 or higher: excellent internal consistency

0.8-0.9: good internal consistency

0.7-0.8: acceptable internal consistency

0.6-0.7: questionable internal consistency

0.5-0.6: poor internal consistency

0.5 or lower: unacceptable internal consistency

Without knowing the value of Cronbach's alpha for the 8-item instrument, we cannot determine whether the scale is internally consistent or not. Therefore, the answer is indeterminate.

The given conditions justify testing a claim about a population mean μ, and the formula for the test statistic is the z-test formula, Z = (x - μ) / (σ / √n).

To determine whether the given conditions justify testing a claim about a population mean μ, we need to consider the sample size, standard deviation, and the distribution of the original population.

In this case, the sample size is n = 25, the standard deviation (σ) is 5.93, and the original population is normally distributed. Given these conditions, we can proceed with the hypothesis test for the population mean μ.

Since the population standard deviation (σ) is known and the original population is normally distributed, we can use the z-test formula for the test statistic. The formula for the z-test statistic is:

Z = (x - μ) / (σ / √n)

Where:
- Z is the test statistic
- x is the sample mean
- μ is the population mean
- σ is the population standard deviation

Answer 2: The correct answer is: "The median is the best measure of center, and it equals 19."

Answer 6: The correct answer is: "Circle graph."

Answer 9: The correct answer is: "The college will have about 1,440 students who prefer ice cream."

What is median?

Median is a measure of central tendency that represents the middle value in a dataset when the values are arranged in order of magnitude

Answer 2:

Based on the given box plot, the appropriate measure of center for the data is the median, as it is less sensitive to extreme values. The median can be estimated by finding the middle value of the data, which corresponds to the vertical line in the box. In this case, the line in the box is at 19, so the median is 19. Therefore, the correct answer is: "The median is the best measure of center, and it equals 19."

Answer 5:

Since there were 900 people in attendance and 80 of them were in the exhibit room, the fraction of the attendees in the exhibit room is 80/900. If we assume that this fraction is representative of the entire conference, we can estimate the number of principals in attendance by multiplying the total number of attendees by this fraction and then multiplying by the fraction of principals in the exhibit room.

Thus, the estimated number of principals in attendance is: 900 * (80/900) * (15/80) = 15. Therefore, the correct answer is: "There were about 15 principals in attendance."

Answer 6:

The best graphical representation for the data on the subject preferences of 100 students in a particular school would be a bar graph or a pie chart. These graphs are suitable for displaying categorical data, where each category (in this case, the different subjects) is represented by a bar or a sector of the pie, and the frequency or percentage of the category is shown on the y-axis or as labels on the pie. Stem-and-leaf plots and histograms are more suitable for displaying quantitative data. Therefore, the correct answer is: "Circle graph."

Answer 7:

The best graph to display this categorical data is a bar graph. Each category of sport can be represented by a bar, with the height of the bar corresponding to the number of students who prefer that sport. Therefore, the correct answer is: "bar graph with the title favorite sport and the x axis labeled sport and the y axis labeled number of students, with the first bar labeled basketball going to a value of 17, the second bar labeled baseball going to a value of 12, the third bar labeled soccer going to a value of 27, and the fourth bar labeled tennis going to a value of 44."

Answer 8:

The best graph to represent this data is a circle graph or a pie chart, as it shows the proportion of visitors who used each type of transportation. The size of each sector in the pie corresponds to the percentage of visitors who used that type of transportation. Therefore, the correct answer is: "circle graph titled New York City visitor's transportation, with five sections labeled walk 40 percent, bicycle 8 percent, car service 15 percent, bus 10 percent, and subway 27 percent."

Answer 9:

To estimate the number of students who prefer ice cream, we can use the proportion of students in the sample who prefer ice cream and assume that it is representative of the entire population of 4,000 students. The proportion of students who prefer ice cream in the sample is 81/225, or 0.36.

Therefore, the estimated number of students who prefer ice cream is: 0.36 * 4,000 = 1,440. Thus, the correct answer is: "The college will have about 1,440 students who prefer ice cream."

The given statement "Every continuous function has local maximum. (b) If f"(c) 0, then (€ f(c))is an inflection point IC f(4) then critical point: (d) Ifv = 4 then / IF $"() then f() is an local maximum" is true because their veracity by analyzing the behavior of the function at critical points and inflection points.

Firstly, a function is a mathematical rule that maps every input value to a unique output value. In simpler terms, a function takes in a number, performs some operations on it, and gives out another number.

Moving on to the second statement, it states that if f"(c) = 0, then (€ f(c)) is an inflection point. This statement is false. An inflection point is a point on the function where the curvature changes from concave up to concave down or vice versa. However, having f"(c) = 0 only means that the function's curvature is neither concave up nor concave down at that specific point. It doesn't necessarily mean that the function has an inflection point.

The third statement states that if f'(x) = 0 and f''(x) < 0, then f(x) is a local maximum. This statement is true. If a function has a critical point (where f'(x) = 0) and f''(x) < 0 at that point, it means that the function is concave down at that point. This concavity indicates that the point is a local maximum.

Lastly, the fourth statement states that if v = 4 and f"(x) < 0, then f(x) is a local maximum. This statement is false. The variable v is not relevant to the statement since it is not a part of the function.

Furthermore, having f"(x) < 0 only means that the function is concave down, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it has a local maximum. The function may have a local minimum or no local extrema at all.

Step-by-step explanation:

So notice that  X(4,-5) turns into X'(4,5)

On the coordinate plane, (x,-y) is in Q.IV and (x,y) is in Q.(I)

So it is a reflection in the x-axis.

The point estimate of the mean of the population is 18.0.

The point estimate of the mean of a population is the sample mean, which is calculated by adding up the values in the sample and dividing by the sample size.

In this case, the sample consists of six values: 16, 19, 18, 17, 20, and 18. To find the sample mean, we add up these values and divide by 6, giving:

Sample mean = [tex](16 + 19 + 18 + 17 + 20 + 18) / 6 = 18[/tex]

Therefore, the point estimate of the mean of the population is 18.0. This means that based on this sample, we estimate that the true population mean is 18.0.

However, we must be careful not to generalize this estimate beyond the population that was sampled.
