if f(x)=ln(sin(2x)), f''(π/4) is equal to
Use the chain rule to compute the second derivative:
[tex]f(x)=\ln(\sin(2x))[/tex]
The first derivative is
[tex]f'(x)=(\ln(\sin(2x)))'=\dfrac{(\sin(2x))'}{\sin(2x)}=\dfrac{\cos(2x)(2x)'}{\sin(2x)}=\dfrac{2\cos(2x)}{\sin(2x)}[/tex]
[tex]f'(x)=2\cot(2x)[/tex]
Then the second derivative is
[tex]f''(x)=(2\cot(2x))'=-2\csc^2(2x)(2x)'[/tex]
[tex]f''(x)=-4\csc^2(2x)[/tex]
Then plug in π/4 for x :
[tex]f''\left(\dfrac\pi4\right)=-4\csc^2\left(\dfrac{2\pi}4\right)=-4[/tex]

Consider the following dice game, as played at a certain gambling casino: players 1 and 2 roll a pair of dice in turn. the bank then rolls the dice to determine the outcome according to the following rule: player i,i=1,2, wins if his roll is strictly
Ii={1 if i wins, 0 otherwise}
and show that I1 and I2 are positively correlated. Explain why this result was to be expected.
Answer:
they are positively correlated.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can calculate the individal expectations first. FIrst player will win if that player's roll is greater than the bank's roll. There are (6 possible rolls of player 1 * 6 possible rolls of bank =) 36 total possible rolls, out of which player 1 will win in 15 cases.
[tex]\therefore E(I_i) = 1\cdot \frac{15}{36} + 0 \cdot \frac{21}{36} = \frac{5}{12} \approx 0.4167[/tex]
For the joint expectation, there are (6 possible rolls of player 1 * 6 possible rolls of player 2 * 6 possible rolls of bank =) 216 total possible rolls.
Cases where both players win: Expectation = $2.
If bank rolls 1, both players will win in 5*5 = 25 cases. P1 is one of {2,3,4,5,6}, P2 is one of {2,3,4,5,6}
If bank rolls 2, both players will win in 4*4 = 16 cases.
If bank rolls 3, both players will win in 3*3 = 9 cases.
If bank rolls 4, both players will win in 2*2 = 4 cases.
If bank rolls 5, both players will win in 1*1 = 1 cases.
If bank rolls 6, both players will win in 0*0 = 0 cases.
Total cases = 25+16+9+4+1+0 = 55 cases.
Cases where player 1 wins $1 and player 2 loses: Expectation = $1.
If bank rolls 1, player 1 will win and player 2 will lose in 5*1 = 5 cases. P1 is one of {2,3,4,5,6}, P2 is {1}
If bank rolls 2, player 1 will win and player 2 will lose in 4*2 = 8 cases.
If bank rolls 3, player 1 will win and player 2 will lose in 3*3 = 9 cases.
If bank rolls 4, player 1 will win and player 2 will lose in 2*4 = 8 cases.
If bank rolls 5, player 1 will win and player 2 will lose in 1*5 = 5 cases.
If bank rolls 6, player 1 will win and player 2 will lose in 0*6 = 0 cases.
Total cases = 5+8+9+8+5+0 = 35
Cases where player 2 wins $1 and player 1 loses: Expectation = $1.
This is the same as above with player 1 and 2 exchanged.
Total cases = 35
Cases where both players lose: Expectation = $0.
If bank rolls 1, both players will lose in 1*1 = 1 cases. P1 is {1}, P2 is {1}
If bank rolls 2, both players will lose in 2*2 = 4 cases.
If bank rolls 3, both players will lose in 3*3 = 9 cases.
If bank rolls 4, both players will lose in 4*4 = 16 cases.
If bank rolls 5, both players will lose in 5*5 = 25 cases.
If bank rolls 6, both players will lose in 6*6 = 36 cases.
Total cases = 1+4+9+16+25+36 = 91 cases.
Total of all cases (we expect this to be 216 as mentioned above) = 55+35+35+91=216
So, joint expectation is:
[tex]E(I_1I_2) = \frac{2\cdot 55 +1\cdot 35+1\cdot 35+0\cdot 91}{216} = \frac{180}{216}= \frac{5}{6} \approx 0.8333[/tex]
So, the covariance is given by:
[tex]\texttt{Cov}(I_1I_2) =E(I_1I_2) -E(I_1)\cdot E(I_2)= \frac{5}{6}-\frac{5}{12}\cdot\frac{5}{12}=\frac{95}{144} \approx 0.6597[/tex]
As this is greater than 0 and closer to 1, they are positively correlated.
The reason why this result is expected is because the same bank roll is being used for both players. So, it is very likely that both players will win if the bank roll is 1 or even 2. Also, it is very likely that both players will lose if the bank roll is 6, 5, or even 4. This shows positive correlation between the events.
Assume that military aircraft use ejection seats designed for men weighing between 133.8 lb and 208.0 lb. If women’s weights are normally distributed with a mean of 172.6 lb and a standard deviation of 42.4 lb, what percentage of women have weights between the ejection seat’s weight limits (that is, 133.8 to 208.0 lb)? Enter your answer as a percent rounded to one decimal place (do not add a "%"); add a trailing zeros as needed. The percentage of women with weights between 133.8 and 208.0 lb is [EjectPct] percent.
Answer:
61.8
Step-by-step explanation:
When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this question, we have that:
[tex]\mu = 172.6, \sigma = 42.4[/tex]
What percentage of women have weights between the ejection seat’s weight limits (that is, 133.8 to 208.0 lb)?
We have to find the pvalue of Z when X = 208 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 133.8 for the proportion. Then we multiply by 100 to find the percentage.
X = 208
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{208 - 172.6}{42.4}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.835[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.835[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.798
X = 133.8
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{133.8 - 172.6}{42.4}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.915[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.915[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.180
0.798 - 0.18 = 0.618
0.618*100 = 61.8%
Without the %, the answer is 61.8.

Dennis is making a container for tomato plant. The container will be in the shape of a cuboid.
missing length ? 40cm by 55cm.
The capacity of the container will be 180 litres.
1 Litre =1000cm cuboid.
Answer:
Length of the container = 82 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Breadth of the container is 40 cm and height of the container is 55 cm
Volume of the container is 180 litres
To find: length of the container
Solution:
A container is in the shape of the cuboid.
Volume of cuboid = length × breadth × height
Put breadth = 40 cm , height = 55 cm and volume = 180 litres = 180000 [tex]cm^3[/tex]
(as 1 litre = 1000 [tex]cm^3[/tex] )
Therefore,
[tex]180000=length\,\times \,40\times 55\\length = \frac{180000}{40\times 55}=81.82\approx 82\,\,cm[/tex]

5. Lana pays a semiannual premium of $300 for automobile insurance, a monthly premium of $100 for health insurance, and an annual premium of $700 for life insurance.
Find her monthly expense.
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
We want to find out how much Lana pays per month. Let's dissect each payment we are given so we can find our monthly expense.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE
$300 for automobile insurance semiannually
The prefix semi- means half. Annual means year. So, she is paying $300 every half year, or six months. So, we can divide 300 by 6 to find how much she pays in one month!
300/6=50
Therefore, she pays $50 a month for automobile insurance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
HEALTH INSURANCE
We are told here that she pays $100 every month for health insurance. We don't need do anything else here!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
LIFE INSURANCE
We see that Lana pays $700 per year on life insurance. We can divide this by 12 to find out how much there is in 1 month!
700/12≈58.33
Therefore, she pays $58.33 every month on life insurance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SOLUTION
Now, we just add all of these monthly totals up to find Lana's monthly expense.
50+100+58.33=208.33
Therefore, Lana's monthly expense is $208.33.
I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!

Bytecoin is a new cryptocurrency that is currently valued at $243 per coin. You want to make an investment and purchase 1 Bytecoin and cash out when its value reaches $1,000. Over the last 12 months, you ve seen the value of the Bytecoin grow exponentially at a rate of 15% per month! You want all of your friends and family to invest with you, but you need to make predictions about how long it will take for your $243 investment to earn $1,000. Write an exponential equation in the form y = a * b ^ x and explain what a and b represent
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The growth rate of the coin is exponential. We would apply the formula for exponential growth which is expressed as
y = ab^x
y = b(1 + r)^ t
Where
y represents the value of the coin after x months.
x represents the number of months.
a represents the initial value of the coin.
b represents rate of growth.
From the information given,
a = 243
b = 1 + 15/100 = 1 + 0.15 = 1.15
Therefore, the exponential expression to determine the number of months, x it will take for the coin to attain a certain value, y is expressed as
y = 243(1.15)^x
If y = 1000, it means that
1000 = 243(1.15)^x
1000/243 = 1.15^x
4.115 = 1.15^x
Taking log of both sides, it becomes
log 4.115 = xlog1.15
0.614 = 0.061x
x = 0.614/0.061
x = 10 months
It will take 10 months
7. How much alcohol must be added to 480 grams of hand sanitizer that is 24% alcohol to
make it a hand sanitizer that is 40% alcohol? Correct your answer to the nearest whole
number
Answer:
the amount of alcohol to be added is 128 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
The initial mass of the hand sanitizer = 480 grams
The initial strength of the hand sanitizer = 24 %
The new strength of the hand sanitizer = 40%
The objective here is to determine the final amount of alcohol that is to be added to get the new strength of the alcohol
First; let's find the mass of alcohol in the initial hand sanitizer;
SO;
= 24 % of 480
[tex]=\dfrac{24}{100}*480[/tex]
= 115.2 grams
If y should represent the mass of the alcohol added to have 40%; we have
The new amount of the alcohol to be[tex](115.2 + y) \ grams[/tex]
The new amount of the hand sanitizer will be[tex](480 + y) grams[/tex]
∴
For the new strength of sanitizer:
40 % of (480 + y) = (115.2 + y)
[tex]0.4 *(480 + y) = (115.2 + y) \\ \\ 192 + 0.4 y = 115.2 + y \\ \\ y (1 - 0.4) = 192 - 115.2 \\ \\ y= \dfrac{76.8}{0.6} \\ \\ y = 128 \ grams[/tex]
Thus ; we can conclude that the amount of alcohol to be added is 128 grams
A study was conducted to determine if the salaries of librarians from two neighboring cities were equal. A sample of 15 librarians from each city was randomly selected. The mean from the first city was $28,900 with a standard deviation of $2300. The mean from the second city was $30,300 with a standard deviation of $2100. Construct a 95% confidence interval for u1 -u2.
a) (-4081, 597)
b) (-2054, 238)
c) (-2871, 567)
d) (-3125, 325)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for determining the confidence interval for the difference of two population means is expressed as
Confidence interval = (x1 - x2) ± z√(s²/n1 + s2²/n2)
Where
x1 = sample mean salary of city 1 librarians
x2 = sample mean salary of city 2 librarians
s1 = sample standard deviation for city 1
s2 = sample standard deviation for city 2
n1 = number of soles for city 1
n1 = number of soles for city 2
For a 95% confidence interval, we would determine the z score from the t distribution table because the number of samples are small
Degree of freedom =
(n1 - 1) + (n2 - 1) = (15 - 1) + (15 - 1) = 28
z = 2.048
x1 - x2 = 28,900 - 30,300 = - 1400
Margin of error = 2.048√(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2) = 2.036√(2300²/15 + 2100²/15)
= 1647
The upper boundary for the confidence interval is
- 1400 + 1647 = 247
The lower boundary for the confidence interval is
- 1400 - 1647 = - 3047

Define a function sinc(x) (pronounced "sink of x") by: text(sinc)(x)={(sin(x)/x text(if)\ x != 0, 1 text(if)\ x = 0.) (This function is used frequently in electrical engineering and signal processing.) Use this list of Basic Taylor Series to find the Taylor Series for f(x) = sinc(x) based at 0. Give your answer using summation notation and give the largest open interval on which the series converges. (If you need to enter [infinity] , use the [infinity] button in CalcPad or type "infinity" in all lower-case.)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the Taylor series of sinc(x) we will use the taylor series of sin(x). We have that
[tex]\sin(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^n x^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!}[/tex]
which is the taylor series expansion based at 0. Then for [tex]x\neq 0[/tex], by dividing both sidex by x, we have that
[tex]\text{sinc}(x) = \frac{\sin(x)}{x}= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^n x^{2n}}{(2n+1)!}[/tex]
which is the taylor series expansion for the sinc function. Since the series of sine converges for every value of x. Then the taylor series of sinc converges for every value of x, but 0.

Write a linear function f with f(−2)=6 and f(0)=−4 .
Answer:
y = -5(x) - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the equation of a line and substitution.
Information given:
point 1: (-2,6)
x1 = -2 and y1 = 6
point 2: (0,4)
x2 = 0 and y2 = 4
Equation of a line: y = m(x) + b
m = slope
To find slope, you do the equation of a linear slope, which is:
m = [tex]\frac{rise}{run}[/tex] in other words m = [tex]\frac{Y2 - Y1}{X2-X1}[/tex]
plug in your values
[tex]\frac{6-(-4)}{-2-0}[/tex]
= -5
Great, we've found slope, now to find b
plug in the slope you found: y = -5(x) + b
Plug in and solve for each point given, aka (x,y) into the linear equation for both points.
FIRST POINT:
6 = -5(-2) + b
6 = 10 + b
6 - 10 = b
b = -4
SECOND POINT:
-4 = -5(0) + b
-4 = 0 + b
-4 - 0 = b
b = -4
We got -4 for both, meaning that this equation is correct, so if you add in b, your final equation will be y = -5(x) - 4.
Plug this into desmos.com/calculator, and you'll see this linear equation runs through both points given in the problem.
Answer:
f(x)=-5x-4
Step-by-step explanation:
You are given two points (-2, 6) and (0, -4)
Find the slope: m=(-4-6)/[(0-(-2)]=-5
So you have y=-5x+b
next, find the y intercept b.
the y intercept is when x=0. in this case, the y intercept is -4
so the linear function is f(x)=-5x-4
