Answer: -9 ≤ f(6) - f(3) ≤ 15
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to use the Mean Value Theorem, it must be continuous and differentiable. Both of these conditions are satisfied so we can continue.
Find f(6) - f(3) using the following formula:
[tex]f'(c)=\dfrac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex]
Consider: a = 3, b = 6
[tex]\text{Then}\ f'(c)=\dfrac{f(6)-f(3)}{6-3}\\\\\\\rightarrow \quad 3f'(c)=f(6) - f(3)[/tex]
Given: -3 ≤ f'(x) ≤ 5
-9 ≤ 3f'(c) ≤ 15 Multiplied each side by 3
→ -9 ≤ f(6) - f(3) ≤ 15 Substituted 3f'(c) with f(6) - f(3)
A sociologist recently conducted a survey of citizens over 60 years of age who have net worths too high to qualify for Medicaid but have no private health insurance. The ages of the 25 uninsured senior citizens were as follows:
68 73 66 76 86 74 61 89 65 90 69 92 76
62 81 63 68 81 70 73 60 87 75 64 82
Find the upper quartile of the data.
a) 65.5
b) 92
c) 81.5
d) 073

Solve 2x - 11 = k for x.
what is the value of x?
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
52 = y since they are the base angles of an isosceles triangle and the base angles are equal
The sum of the angles of a triangle are 180
52+y+14x+6 =180
Substitute for y
52+52+14x+6 = 180
Combine like terms
110 + 14x = 180
Subtract 110 from each side
110+14x-110 = 180-110
14x =70
Divide by 14
14x/14 = 70/14
x =5

√(16 - x^2) is defined only for -4 ≤ x ≤ 4, and is continuous over this domain, so
[tex]\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-4^+}\sqrt{16-x^2}=\sqrt{16-(-4)^2}=0[/tex]
From the other side, the limit does not exist, because all x < -4 do not belong to the domain.
Taken together, the two-sided limit also does not exist.
Brian invests £6300 into his bank account.
He receives 4.9% per year compound interest.
How much will Brian have after 2 years?
Give your answer to the nearest penny where appropriate.
Answer:
Amount that Brian has after 2 years = £6932.53
Step-by-step explanation:
To find, the amount that Brian will have after 2 years:
Formula for amount where compound interest is applicable:
[tex]A = P \times (1+\dfrac{R}{100})^t[/tex]
Where A is the amount after t years time
P is the principal.
R is the rate of interest.
In the question, we are given the following details:
Principal amount,P = £6300
Rate of interest,R = 4.9%
Time,t = 2 years
Putting the values in formula:
[tex]A = 6300 \times (1+\dfrac{4.9}{100})^2\\\Rightarrow 6300 \times (\dfrac{104.9}{100})^2\\\Rightarrow 6932.53[/tex]
Hence, Amount that Brian has after 2 years = £6932.53

One vertex of a triangle is located at (0, 5) on a coordinate grid. After a transformation, the vertex is located at (5, 0). Which transformations could have taken place? Select two options. R0, 90° R0, 180° R0, 270° R0, –90° R0, –180°
Answer:
The Transformations are R(O , -90°) & R(O , 270)
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets revise the rotation of a point
- If point (x , y) rotated about the origin by angle 90° anti-clock wise
∴ Its image is (-y , x)
- If point (x , y) rotated about the origin by angle 90° clock wise
(270° anti-clockwise or -90°)
∴ Its image is (y , -x)
- If point (x , y) rotated about the origin by angle 180°
∴ Its image is (-x , -y)
* There is no difference between rotating 180° clockwise (-180°) or
anti-clockwise (180°) around the origin
* Lets solve the problem
∵ One vertex of a triangle is located at (0, 5) on a coordinate grid
∵ The image of the point after the transformation is (5 , 0)
- The coordinates are switched with each other
∴ There is no rotation with 180° or -180° because in the rotation with
180° and -180° around the origin we change only the signs of the
coordinates without switch them
∴ There is a rotation with 90° are 270° or -90°
- The zero has no sign
- When we rotate the point (0 , 5) by -90° or 270° around the origin
we will change the sign of x-coordinate and switch the two
coordinates
∴ The image of the point is (y , -x)
∵ x = 0 and y = 5
- There is no sign for zero, so we switch the coordinates only
∴ The vertex is located at (5, 0)
∴ The Transformations are R(O , -90°) & R(O , 270)
Answer:
R(O , -90°) & R(O , 270)
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the x-intercept(s) and the coordinates of the vertex for the parabola.
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
y = x² - 2x - 8
To find the x- intercepts let y = 0 , that is
x² - 2x - 8 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 4)(x + 2) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4
x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
x- intercepts : x = - 2, x = 4
The x- coordinate of the vertex is mid way between the x- intercepts, that is
[tex]x_{vertex}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-2+4}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{2}[/tex] = 1
Substitute x = 1 into the equation for corresponding y- coordinate
y = 1² - 2(1) - 8 = 1 - 2 - 8 = - 9
vertex = (1, - 9 )

A = (5,2), B = (2,4), C = (6,7) and D = (9,5) What is the length of the shorter diagonal of parallelogram ABCD?
Answer:
[tex] AC = \sqrt(26) \approx 5.1 [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagonals are AC and BD.
Now we find the lengths of the diagonals using the distance formula.
[tex] d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} [/tex]
AC:
[tex] AC = \sqrt{(6 - 5)^2 + (7 - 2)^2} [/tex]
[tex] AC = \sqrt{(1)^2 + (5)^2} [/tex]
[tex] AC = \sqrt{1 + 25} [/tex]
[tex] AC = \sqrt{26} [/tex]
BD:
[tex] BD = \sqrt{(9 - 2)^2 + (5 - 4)^2} [/tex]
[tex] BD = \sqrt{(7)^2 + (1)^2} [/tex]
[tex] BD = \sqrt{49 + 1} [/tex]
[tex] BD = \sqrt{50} [/tex]
Since sqrt(26) < sqrt(50), then the shorter diagonal is AC.
Answer: AC = sqrt(26) or approximately 5.1
Answer:
A = (5.2)
Step-by-step explanation:
c2= (6-5)^2 + (7-2)^2
To find AC we calculate within parenthesis (6-5) : 1
c2= 1 + (7-2)^2
calculate within parenthesis (7-2) : 5
c2 = 1^2 + 5^2
then calculate exponents 1^2:1
c^2 = 1+5^2
add and subtract left to right
c^2 = 1+25
c^2 =26
Sr of 26 = 5.09901951359
Which means the closest answer is A = 5.2
To find BD we calculate within parenthesis (9-2):7
c2= (9-2)^2 + (5 - 4)^2
calculate within parenthesis (5-4) : 1
c2 = (7)^2 + (1)^2
calculate exponents 1 ^2 : 1
c2 = 49 +1
add and subtract left to right
c2 = 50
Sr of 50 = 7.07106781187
A scale drawing of a rectangular painting has a scale factor of 1:4 which statements are true
Answer:
object have been reduced by a factor of 4 on paper or the drawing have been increased by a factor of 4 on land .
Step-by-step explanation:
What a scale factor of 1:4 means.
Simply it means that the reals size of the object on land have been reduced in the drawing in the paper.
Now for scale factor of 1:4 in particular it means that the object have been reduced by a factor of 4 on paper or the drawing have been increased by a factor of 4 on land .

Answer:
I do questions like these everyday so I have too much experience. Let me explain step by step for you.
Brainliest?
First lets set 2 variables x and y
Lets make 2 equations.
x=3+2*y
Thats because it says 'x' is 3 more (+) than 2 times(*) 'y'
Now lets set second, we know both of them add up to 27.
x+y = 27
Since we know what x is equal to (look above equation)
We can replace it.
x is replaced with 3+2*y
3+2y+y = 27
3+4y = 27
Simplify 27-3 = 24
24/4 = 6
Now lets plug in for x
3+2*6 = 15
15 - x
6 - y

Among 21- to 25-year-olds, 29% say they have driven while under the influence of alcohol. Suppose that three 21- to 25-year-olds are selected at random. a)What is the probability that all three have driven while under the influence of alcohol
Answer:
P(3) = 0.0244
P(3) = 2.44%
the probability that all three selected have driven while under the influence of alcohol is 2.44% or 0.0244
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
The probability that they have driven while under the influence of alcohol is;
P = 29% = 0.29
the probability that all three selected have driven while under the influence of alcohol is;
P(3) = P × P × P
P(3) = 0.29 × 0.29 × 0.29
P(3) = 0.024389
P(3) = 0.0244
P(3) = 2.44%
the probability that all three selected have driven while under the influence of alcohol is 2.44% or 0.0244
Using the data in the table, use the exponential smoothing method with alpha=0.5 and a February forecast of 500 to forecast
sales for May
Month Demand
January 480
February 520
March 535
April 550
May 590
June 630
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula to calculate the forecast could be determine by using the exponential smoothing method :
[tex]Ft = F(t-1) + \alpha [A(t-1) - F(t-1)][/tex]
Where ,Ft is the Forecast for period t
F(t-1) is the Forecast for the period previous to t
A(t-1) is the Actual demand for the period previous to t
[tex]\alpha[/tex] = Smoothing constant
To get the forecast for may and june the above formula with [tex]\alpha =0.5[/tex] and april forecast of 500 will be used
For march
[tex]=500+0.5(520-500)\\\\=500+0.5\times20\\\\=500+10\\\\=510[/tex]
For April
[tex]=510+0.5(535-510)\\\\=510+0.5\times25\\\\=510+12.5\\\\=522.5[/tex]
For May
[tex]=522.5+0.5(550-5225)\\\\=522.5+0.5\times27.5\\\\=522.5+13.75\\\\=536.25[/tex]
So forecast for May = 536.25

At Central High School, 55% of students play a school sport. Also, 24% of the student population is in ninth grade. To ninth graders are allowed to play school sports. If two students are selected at random to receive a gift card, what is the probability that one will go to a student athlete and one will go to a freshman? Write the answer as a percent rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent.
Answer:
Probability that one of the giftcards will go to a student athlete and one will go to a freshman = 26.4%
Step-by-step explanation:
At Central High School, 55% of students play a school sport. Also, 24% of the student population is in ninth grade. No ninth graders are allowed to play school sports. If two students are selected at random to receive a gift card, what is the probability that one will go to a student athlete and one will go to a freshman? Write the answer as a percent rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent.
Solution
Probability that a student plays a school sport, that is, probability that a student is a student athlete = P(S) = 55% = 0.55
Probability that a student is in the ninth grade, that is, probability that a student is a freshman = P(F) = 24% = 0.24
It was given that no freshman is allowed to play sports, hence, it translates that the event that a student is a student athlete and the event that a student is a freshman are mutually exclusive.
P(S n F) = 0
If two students are then picked at random to receive a gift card, we require the probability that one will go to a student athlete and one will go to a freshman.
Probability that the first one goes to a student athlete = P(S) = 0.55
Probability that the second one goes to a freshman ≈ 0.24
Probability that the first one goes to a freshman = P(F) = 0.24
Probability that the second one goes to a student athlete ≈ 0.55
Probability that one will go to a student athlete and one will go to a freshman
= (0.55 × 24) + (0.24 × 0.55)
= 0.132 + 0.132
= 0.264
= 26.4% in percent to the nearest tenth.

The mean of 6 numbers is 32.If one of the numbers is excluded, the mean reduces by 2.Find the excluded number.
Answer:
42
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean = Sum of numbers/ Total numbers
Sum of 6 numbers = 32 x 6
= 192
If one number is excluded the mean reduce by 2 . so it becomes 30
Sum of 5 Numbers = 5 x 30
=150
Therefore the excluded number is
= 192 - 150
= 42.
Let $A_1 A_2 A_3 A_4$ be a regular tetrahedron. Let $P_1$ be the center of face $A_2 A_3 A_4,$ and define vertices $P_2,$ $P_3,$ and $P_4$ the same way. Find the ratio of the volume of tetrahedron $A_1 A_2 A_3 A_4$ to the volume of tetrahedron $P_1 P_2 P_3 P_4.$
Answer:
27 : 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The faces of a regular tetrahedron are equilateral triangles. The incenter, circumcenter, and centroid are all the same point, located 1/3 of the distance from the edge to the opposite vertex of the face. The vertical height of the point that is 1/3 the slant height from the base is 1/3 of the height of the tetrahedron.
Then the "inscribed" tetrahedron has 1/3 the height of the original. The ratio of volumes is the cube of the ratio of linear dimensions, so the ratio of the larger volume to the smaller is ...

Use the Divergence Theorem to calculate the surface integral S F · dS; that is, calculate the flux of F across S. F(x, y, z) = x2yi + xy2j + 3xyzk, S is the surface of the tetrahedron bounded by the planes x = 0, y = 0, z = 0, and x + 2y + z = 2.
Answer:
-14 / 3
Step-by-step explanation:
- Divergence theorem, expresses an explicit way to determine the flux of a force field ( F ) through a surface ( S ) with the help of "del" operator ( D ) which is the sum of spatial partial derivatives of the force field ( F ).
- The given force field as such:
[tex]F = (x^2y) i + (xy^2) j + (3xyz) k[/tex]
Where,
i, j, k are unit vectors along the x, y and z coordinate axes, respectively.
- The surface ( S ) is described as a tetrahedron bounded by the planes:
[tex]x = 0 \\y = 0\\x + 2y + z = 2[/tex]
[tex]z = 0\\[/tex]
- The divergence theorem gives us the following formulation:
[tex]_S\int\int {F} \,. dS = _V\int\int\int {D [F]} \,. dV[/tex]
- We will first apply the del operator on the force field as follows:
[tex]D [ F ] = 2xy + 2xy + 3xy = 7xy[/tex]
- Now, we will define the boundaries of the solid surface ( Tetrahedron ).
- The surface ( S ) is bounded in the z - direction by plane z = 0 and the plane [ z = 2 - x - 2y ]. The limits of integration for " dz " are as follows:
dz: [ z = 0 - > 2 - x - 2y ]
- Now we will project the surface ( S ) onto the ( x-y ) plane. The projection is a triangle bounded by the axes x = y = 0 and the line: x = 2 - 2y. We will set up our limits in the x- direction bounded by x = 0 and x = 2 - 2y. The limits of integration for " dx " are as follows:
dx: [ x = 0 - > 2 - 2y ]
- The limits of "dy" are constants defined by the axis y = 0 and y = -2 / -2 = 1. Hence,
dy: [ y = 0 - > 1 ]
- Next we will evaluate the triple integral as follows:
[tex]\int\int\int ({D [ F ] }) \, dz.dx.dy = \int\int\int (7xy) \, dz.dx.dy\\\\\int\int (7xyz) \, | \limits_0^2^-^x^-^2^ydx.dy\\\\\int\int (7xy[ 2 - x - 2y ] ) dx.dy = \int\int (14xy -7x^2y -14 xy^2 ) dx.dy\\\\\int (7x^2y -\frac{7}{3} x^3y -7 x^2y^2 )| \limits_0^2^-^2^y.dy \\\\\int (7(2-2y)^2y -\frac{7}{3} (2-2y)^3y -7 (2-2y)^2y^2 ).dy \\\\[/tex]
[tex]7 (-\frac{(2-2y)^3}{6} + (2-2y)^2 ) -\frac{7}{3} ( -\frac{(2-2y)^4}{8} + (2-2y)^3) -7 ( -\frac{(2-2y)^3}{6}y^2 + 2y.(2-2y)^2 )| \limits^1_0\\\\ 0 - [ 7 (-\frac{8}{6} + 4 ) -\frac{7}{3} ( -\frac{16}{8} + 8 ) -7 ( 0 ) ] \\\\- [ \frac{56}{3} - 14 ] \\\\\int\int {F} \, dS = -\frac{14}{3}[/tex]

To inspect manufacturing processes, companies typically examine samples of parts for deficiencies. One company that manufactures ballpoint pens selected samples of pens on each of days. The company recorded, for each sample of , the number of defective pens in the sample. Here are their data:
1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 9, 11, 14, 15, 18
Required:
a. Which measures of central tendency do not exist for this data set?
b. Which measures of central tendency would be affected by the change?
c. Which of the following best describes the distribution of the original data?
d. Suppose that, starting with the original data set, the largest measurement were removed. Which measures of central tendency would be changed from those of the original data set?
Answer:
a. All measures exist
b. The Mean and the mode
c. Positively skewed
d. The mean and the median
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The frequencies of the data are;
1 2
2 4
3 1
5 2
6 3
9 1
11 1
14 1
15 1
18 1
The formula for mode is given as follows;
The mean = 108/17 = 6.35
The median of 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 5 5 6 6 6 9 11 14 15 18 = (n + 1)/2th term = 9th term
∴ The median = 5
The mode = 3×Median - 2 × Mean = 15 - 2 × 6.35 = 2.29
Hence all exist
The answer is none theses measures
b. Whereby 18 is replaced by 39 the mean will be then be
(108 + 39 - 18)/17 = 7.59
The median, which is the 9th term remain the same;
Hence only the mean and mode will be affected
c. Since more values are concentrated on the left side of the data distribution, the distribution is positively skewed
d. The largest measurement = 18 the 17th term
Removal will give
Mean = (108 - 18)/16 = 5.625 Mean changes
Median = (16 + 1)/2 th term = 8.5th term = 5 The median remains the same
The mode = 3(Mean - Median) changes
Therefore, the mean and the median will be changed.
You need to haul a load of patio bricks to a job site. Each brick weighs 4 pounds 14 ounces. Truck can carry a 3/4 - ton load. How many bricks can the truck carry in a full load?
Answer:
339 bricks.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the weight of each brick and what the truck can support. Therefore what we must do is pass all to the same unit of measurement to calculate the quantity of bricks.
In this case we will pass everything to pounds.
We have that a 1 pound is 16 ounces, therefore 14 would be:
14 ounces * 1 pound / 16 ounces = 0.875 pounds
In addition we have that 1 ton is 2204.62 pounds, therefore 3/4 would be:
3/4 ton * 2204.62 pounds / 1 ton = 1653.467 pounds
Therefore, in total the brick weighs 4,875 pounds (4 + 0.875) and the truck can support 1653,467 pounds, the number of bricks would be:
1653.467 / 4.875 = 339.17
In other words, it can support about 339 bricks.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
An option to buy a stock is priced at $150. If the stock closes above 30 next Thursday, the option will be worth $1000. If it closes below 20, the option will be worth nothing, and if it closes between 20 and 30, the option will be worth $200. A trader thinks there is a 50% chance that the stock will close in the 20-30 range, a 20% chance that it will close above 30, and a 30% chance that it will fall below 20.
a) Let X represent the price of the option
x P(X=x)
$1000 20/100 = 0.2
$200 50/100 = 0.5
$0 30/100 = 0.3
b) Expected option price
[tex]= \sum x.P(X=x)\\\\ = 1000 * 0.2 + 200 * 0.5 + 0 = \$ 300[/tex]
Therefore expected gain = $300 - $150 = $150
c) The trader should buy the stock. Since there is an positive expected gain($150) in trading that stock option.
