Official unemployment rates for the U.S. population are reported on a monthly basis by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. For the period October, 2011, through January, 2012, the official unemployment rates were 8.9% (Oct.), 8.7% (Nov.), 8.5% (Dec.), and 8.3% (Jan.). (Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov.) If the unemployment rates were to continue to decrease following a linear model, (a) predict the unemployment rate on January, 2013. (b) predict when the United States would reach a zero unemployment rate.

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Clearly, there is a common difference between the monthly employment rates:

8.7% - 8.9% = -0.2%

8.5% - 8.7% = -0.2%

8.3% - 8.5% = -0.2%

a) So, for every month x, the percentage will go down 0.2%, starting at 8.9%. So, we can make this equation:

y = -0.2x + 9.1, where x = 1 would be October 2011.

January 2013 is 16 months after October 2011, so:

y = -0.2(16) + 9.1

y = 5.9%

b) To find when the unemployment rate will be zero, we set the equation equal to zero:

0 = -0.2x + 9.1

-0.2x = -9.1

x = 45.5 months

So, rounding up, the U.S. would reach a zero unemployment rate in 46 months or around September 2014? Not completely sure.

Step-by-step explanation:

Not sure if this is exactly correct, but let's say we start with 1 unit. If it increased by 25%, we get:

1 × 1.25 = 1.25 units.

Now, to get back to 1 unit, we need to find:

1.25 × ?  = 1

? = [tex]\frac{1}{1.25}[/tex] = 0.80

So, 100% - 80 % = 20%

A fish tank is initially filled with 400 liters of water containing 1 g/liter of dissolved oxygen. At noon, oxygenated water containing 10g/liter of oxygen flows in at a rate of 5 liters per minute and the well-mixed water is pumped out at a rate of 7 liters per minute.Let A(t) represent the amount of dissolved oxygen in the tank at time t. a) Write the differential equation that represents the problem.b) Solve the differential equation. c) At 1 p.m., what is the amount of dissolve oxygen in the fish tank

Answers

Answer:

a. [tex]dA(t)/dt = 50 - \frac{7A(t)}{400} where A(0) = 400[/tex]

b. [tex]A(t) = \frac{20000}{7} + \frac{17200}{7}e^{-7t/400}[/tex]

c. 3.717 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Write the differential equation that represents the problem.

Let A(t) be the amount of dissolved oxygen in the tank at any time, t.

The net flow rate dA(t)/dt = mass flow in - mass flow out

Since 10 g/l of oxygen flows in at a rate of 5 l/min, the mass flow in is 10 g/l × 5 l/min = 50 g/min

Since A(t) is the amount of oxygen present in the tank at time, t, and the volume of the tank is 400 liters. The concentration of oxygen in the tank is thus A(t)/400 g/l.

Also, water is being pumped out at a rate of 7 l/min. So, the mass flow out is thus concentration × flow rate out = A(t)/400 g/l × 7 l/min = 7A(t)/400 g/min

So, dA(t)/dt = mass flow in - mass flow out

dA(t)/dt = 50 - 7A(t)/400 with A(0) = 400 l × 1 g/l = 400 g since the tank initially contains 1 g/l of dissolved oxygen and has a volume of 400 l

So, the differential equation is

dA(t)/dt = 50 - 7A(t)/400  where A(0) = 400 g

[tex]dA(t)/dt = 50 - \frac{7A(t)}{400} where A(0) = 400[/tex]

b) Solve the differential equation

To solve the equation, we use separation of variables, so

dA(t)/dt = 50 - 7A(t)/400  where A(0) = 400 g

dA(t)/(50 - 7A(t)/400) = dt

Integrating both sides, we have

∫dA(t)/(50 - 7A(t)/400) = ∫dt

-7/400 ÷ -7/400∫dA(t)/(50 - 7A(t)/400) = ∫dt

1/ (-7/400)∫-7/400dA(t)/(50 - 7A(t)/400) = ∫dt

(-400/7)㏑(50 - 7A(t)/400) = t + C

㏑(50 - 7A(t)/400) = -7t/400 + (-7/400)C

㏑(50 - 7A(t)/400) = -7t/400 + C'     (C' = (-7/400)C)

taking exponents of both sides, we have

50 - 7A(t)/400 = exp[(-7t/400) + C']

50 - 7A(t)/400 = exp(-7t/400)expC'

[tex]50 - \frac{7A(t)}{400} = e^{-7t/400}e^{C'} \\50 - \frac{7A(t)}{400} = Ae^{-7t/400} A = e^{C'}\\ \frac{7A(t)}{400} = 50 - Ae^{-7t/400} \\A(t) = \frac{400}{7} X 50 - \frac{400}{7} Ae^{-7t/400} \\A(t) = \frac{20000}{7} - \frac{400}{7} Ae^{-7t/400}[/tex]

when t = 0 , A(0) = 400. So,

[tex]A(t) = \frac{20000}{7} - \frac{400}{7} Ae^{-7t/400} \\A(0) = \frac{20000}{7} - \frac{400}{7} Ae^{-7(0)/400}\\A(0) = \frac{20000}{7} - \frac{400}{7} Ae^{0/400}\\A(0) = \frac{20000}{7} - \frac{400}{7} Ae^{0}\\A(0) = \frac{20000}{7} - \frac{400}{7} A\\400 = \frac{20000}{7} - \frac{400}{7} A\\\frac{400}{7} A = 400 - \frac{20000}{7}\\\frac{400}{7} A = \frac{2800}{7} - \frac{20000}{7}\\\frac{400}{7} A = -\frac{17200}{7}\\\\A = -\frac{17200}{7} X \frac{7}{400} \\A = -43[/tex]

So,

[tex]A(t) = \frac{20000}{7} - \frac{400}{7} X -43e^{-7t/400} \\A(t) = \frac{20000}{7} + \frac{17200}{7}e^{-7t/400}[/tex]

c) At 1 p.m., what is the amount of dissolve oxygen in the fish tank.

At 1 p.m, t = 60 min

So, the amount of dissolved oxygen in the fish tank is A(60)

So,

[tex]A(t) = \frac{20000}{7} + \frac{17200}{7}e^{-7t/400}\\A(60) = \frac{20000}{7} + \frac{17200}{7}e^{-7X60/400}\\A(60) = \frac{20000}{7} + \frac{17200}{7}e^{-420/400}\\A(60) = \frac{20000}{7} + \frac{17200}{7}e^{-1.05}\\A(60) = \frac{20000}{7} + \frac{17200}{7} X 0.3499\\A(60) = \frac{20000}{7} + \frac{6018.93}{7} \\A(60) = \frac{26018.93}{7} \\A(60) = 3716.99 g[/tex]

A(60) ≅ 3717 g

find the component equation of the plane which is normal to the vector -2i+5j+k and which contains the point (-10;7;5).​

Answers

Given:

A plane is normal to the vector = -2i+5j+k

It contains the point (-10,7,5).​

To find:

The component equation of the plane.

Solution:

The equation of plane is

[tex]a(x-x_0)+b(y-y_0)+c(z-z_0)=0[/tex]

Where, [tex](x_0,y_0,z_0)[/tex] is the point on the plane and [tex]\left< a,b,c\right>[/tex] is normal vector.

Normal vector is -2i+5j+k and plane passes through (-10,7,5). So, the equation of the plane is

[tex]-2(x-(-10))+5(y-7)+1(z-5)=0[/tex]

[tex]-2(x+10)+5y-35+z-5=0[/tex]

[tex]-2x-20+5y-35+z-5=0[/tex]

[tex]-2x+5y+z-60=0[/tex]

[tex]-2x+5y+z=60[/tex]

Therefore, the equation of the plane is [tex]-2x+5y+z=60[/tex].

There are 9 movies ranked on the summer's "must see movie list." What is the probability that you guess the summer's top two must see movies if you randomly guess?

Answers

Answer:

1/36 = 0.0278 = 2.78% probability that you guess the summer's top two must see movies if you randomly guess

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this question, the order in which the movies are chosen is not important, which means that we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

Desired outcomes:

Top two movies, so only one outcome, which means that [tex]D = 1[/tex]

Total outcomes:

Two movies from a set of 1. So

[tex]T = C_{9,2} = \frac{9!}{2!(9-2)!} = 36[/tex]

Probability:

[tex]p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{1}{36} = 0.0278[/tex]

1/36 = 0.0278 = 2.78% probability that you guess the summer's top two must see movies if you randomly guess

Answer:

1.39%

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a permutation problem because order matters.

There are 9! ways to rank the summer's must-see movies.

There are (9−2)!=7! ways to choose two movies as the top two must-see movies.

P = 7!/9! = 1/72 = 0.0139

To express our answer as a percent, we multiply by 100:

0.0139 x 100 = 1.39%

Nancy borrowed $150 from her parents to buy a video game system. She has agreed to pay them back $25 each week Which equation represents the amount of money

Nancy still owes her parents, P. after w weeks?

Answers

Answer:

P = 150 - 25w

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount borrowed = $150

Repayment amount = $25 each week

P = amount Nancy owes

w = number of weeks

Amount Nancy owes = amount borrowed - repayment plan per week

P = 150 - 25w

During the first week of repayment: when w = 1

P = 150 - 25w

P = 150 - 25(1)

= 150 - 25

= 125

P = $125
