Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The possible values of [tex]b[/tex] are -2.944 and -9.055, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

From statement we know that [tex]AB = 2\cdot BC[/tex]. By Analytical Geometry, we use the equation of a line segment, which is an application of the Pythagorean Theorem:

[tex]AB = 2\cdot BC[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{(x_{B}-x_{A})^{2}+(y_{B}-y_{A})^{2}} = 2\cdot \sqrt{(x_{C}-x_{B})^{2}+(y_{C}-y_{B})^{2}}[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]x_{A}[/tex], [tex]x_{B}[/tex], [tex]x_{C}[/tex] - x-Coordinates of points A, B and C.

[tex]y_{A}, y_{B}, y_{C}[/tex] - y-Coordinates of points A, B and C.

[tex](x_{B}-x_{A})^{2}+(y_{B}-y_{A})^{2} = 4\cdot (x_{C}-x_{B})^{2}+4\cdot (y_{C}-y_{B})^{2}[/tex]

Then, we expand and simplify the expression above:

[tex]x_{B}^{2}-2\cdot x_{A}\cdot x_{B} +x_{A}^{2} +y_{B}^{2}-2\cdot y_{A}\cdot y_{B} + y_{A}^{2} = 4\cdot (x_{C}^{2}-2\cdot x_{C}\cdot x_{B}+x_{B}^{2})+4\cdot (y_{C}^{2}-2\cdot y_{C}\cdot y_{B}+y_{B}^{2})[/tex]

[tex]x_{B}^{2}-2\cdot x_{A}\cdot x_{B} + x_{A}^{2} +y_{B}^{2}-2\cdot y_{A}\cdot y_{B} + y_{A}^{2} = 4\cdot x_{A}^{2}-8\cdot x_{C}\cdot x_{B}+4\cdot x_{B}^{2}+4\cdot y_{C}^{2}-8\cdot y_{C}\cdot y_{B}+4\cdot y_{B}^{2}[/tex]

If we know that [tex]x_{A} = 5[/tex], [tex]y_{A} = 6[/tex], [tex]x_{B} = 1[/tex], [tex]y_{B} = b[/tex], [tex]x_{C} = 1[/tex] and [tex]y_{C} = -3[/tex], then we have the following expression:

[tex]1 -10 +25 +b^{2} -12\cdot b+36 = 100 -8 +4 +36+24\cdot b +4\cdot b^{2}[/tex]

[tex]b^{2}-12\cdot b +52 = 4\cdot b^{2}+24\cdot b +132[/tex]

[tex]3\cdot b^{2}+36\cdot b +80 = 0[/tex]

This is a second order polynomial, which means the existence of two possible real solutions. By Quadratic Formula, we have the following y-coordinates for point B:

[tex]b_{1} \approx -2.944[/tex], [tex]b_{2} \approx -9.055[/tex]

In consequence, the possible values of [tex]b[/tex] are -2.944 and -9.055, respectively.

It is desired to check the calibration of a scale by weighing a standard 10-gram weight 100 times. Let μ be the population mean reading on the scale, so that the scale is in calibration if μ = 10 and out of calibration if μ ≠ 10. A test is made of the hypotheses H0 : μ = 10 versus H1 : μ ≠ 10. Which of the three conclusions is best if H0 is rejected?

Answers

Complete question :

It is desired to check the calibration of a scale by weighing a standard 10 g weight 100 times. Let µ be the population mean reading on the scale, so that the scale is in calibration if µ = 10. A test is made of the hypotheses H0:µ = 10 versus H1:µ ≠ 10. Consider three possible conclusions: (i) The scale is in calibration, (ii) The scale is out of calibration, (iii) The scale might be in calibration.

Which of the three conclusions is best ifH0 is rejected?

Answer:

The scale is out of calibration

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis ; H0

H0 : μ = 10 ; if this hold true, then the scale is in calibration

Alternative hypothesis ; H1

H1 : μ ≠ 10 ; if this holds true, then the scale is out of calibration

If the Null hypothesis, H0 is rejected, it means that, there is significant evidence to support the alternative hypothesis ; that the scale is out of calibration.

Hence, the best conclusion is that, the scale is out of calibration.

What is a square?

A square is a two-dimensional figure that has four sides and all four sides are equal.

The area of a square is given as side².

We have,

Side of the square garden = 3 inches

Scale factor.

1(1/2) inches = 4 feet

3/2 inches = 4 feet

3 inches = 8 feet

Now,

Length of one fence.

= 2(2/3) feet

= 8/3 feet

Now,

The perimeter of the square.

= 4 side

= 4 x 3 inches

= 12 inches

= 4 x 8 feet

= 32 feet

Now,

The number of fences needed to build the fence around the garden.

= 32 ÷ 8/3

= 32 x 3/8

= 12 fences

Thus,

12 fences are needed to cover the entire garden.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we are interested in bidding on a piece of land and we know one other bidder is interested. The seller announced that the highest bid in excess of $10,200 will be accepted. Assume that the competitor's bid x is a random variable that is uniformly distributed between $10,200 and $14,500.
a. Suppose you bid $12,000. What is the probability that your bid will be accepted?
b. Suppose you bid $14,000. What is the probability that your bid will be accepted?
c. What amount should you bid to maximize the probability that you get the property?
d. Suppose you know someone who is willing to pay you $16,000 for the property. Would you consider bidding less than the amount in part (c)? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer:

0.4185;

0.8835;

$14500;

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

a = 10200

b = 14500

f(y) = 1 /(b - a) = 1/(14500 - 10200) = 1/4300 = 0.0002325

A.)

P(x <12000) = ∫fydy at(12000 ; 10200) = ∫0.0002325dy at(12000 ; 10200)

P(x < 12000) = 0.0002325(12000) - 0.0002325(10200) = 0.4185

B.)

P(x <14000) = ∫fydy at(14000 ; 10200) = ∫0.0002325dy at(14000 ; 10200)

P(x < 14000) = 0.0002325(14000) - 0.0002325(10200) = 0.8835

(c.) 14500 ; because competitor's bid is at most 14500

D.) No ; Because by bidding $14500 ; getting the property is certain ; once the property is gotten, then it could be resold for $16000, to make a profit of $1500 ; by bidding less, winning the bid becomes uncertain which may means the profit might be lost in the long run.

James invests $5400 in two different accounts. The first account paid 14 %, the second account paid 6 % in interest. At the end of the first year he had earned $580 in interest. How much was in each account?

Answers

Given:

Total invested amount = $5400

Rate of interest for first account = 14%

Rate of interest for second account = 6%

Total interest after one year = $580

To find:

The amount invested in each account.

Solution:

Let the amount invested in the first account be $x, then the amount invested in the second account is $(5400-x).

Total interest = 14% of $x + 6% of $(5400-x).

[tex]580=\dfrac{14}{100}x+\dfrac{6}{100}(5400-x)[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 100.

[tex]58000=14x+6(5400-x)[/tex]

[tex]58000=14x+32400-6x[/tex]

[tex]58000-32400=8x[/tex]

[tex]25600=8x[/tex]

Divide both sides by 8.

[tex]\dfrac{25600}{8}=x[/tex]

[tex]3200=x[/tex]

Now,

[tex]5400-x=5400-3200[/tex]

[tex]5400-x=2200[/tex]

Therefore, the amount invested in first account is $3200 and the amount invested in the second account is $2200.
