a. To construct a histogram corresponding to the frequency distribution, we will plot the number of papers on the x-axis and the corresponding frequency on the y-axis. Here is the histogram:

Number of Papers   |   Frequency

--------------------------------

1                  |   708

2                  |   204

3                  |   127

4                  |   50

5                  |   33

6                  |   28

7                  |   19

8                  |   19

9                  |   6

10                 |   7

11                 |   6

12                 |   7

13                 |   4

14                 |   4

15                 |   5

16                 |   3

17                 |   3

b. To find the proportion of authors who published at least five papers, we need to sum the frequencies for the corresponding categories.

For at least five papers: 33 + 28 + 19 + 19 + 6 + 7 + 6 + 7 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 3 + 3 = 144

So, 144 out of the total number of authors is the proportion who published at least five papers.

For at least ten papers: 6 + 7 + 6 + 7 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 3 + 3 = 45

So, 45 out of the total number of authors is the proportion who published at least ten papers.

For more than ten papers: 4 + 4 + 5 + 3 + 3 = 19

So, 19 out of the total number of authors is the proportion who published more than ten papers.

c. If the categories 15, 16, and 17 were lumped into a single category displayed as "≤15," we would still be able to draw a histogram. The "≤15" category would have a frequency of 14 + 5 + 3 = 22. The histogram would have a bar representing the category "≤15" with a frequency of 22.

d. If the values 15, 16, and 17 were combined into a 15-17 category with a frequency of 11, we would still be able to draw a histogram. The 15-17 category would have a frequency of 11. The histogram would have a bar representing the category 15-17 with a frequency of 11.

We can find the marginal densities as follows: f_X(x) = integral from 0 to 1 of f(x,y) dy = integral from 0 to 1 of (2/3)(x + y) dy

To find the value of C, we need to use the fact that the total probability over the region must be 1. That is,

integral from 0 to 1 of (integral from 0 to 1 of C(x + y) dy) dx = 1

We can simplify this integral as follows:

integral from 0 to 1 of (integral from 0 to 1 of C(x + y) dy) dx = integral from 0 to 1 of [Cx + C/2] dx

= (C/2)x^2 + Cx evaluated from 0 to 1 = (3C/2)

Setting this equal to 1 and solving for C, we get:

C = 2/3

To compute the covariance, we need to first find the means of X and Y:

E(X) = integral from 0 to 1 of (integral from 0 to 1 of x f(x,y) dy) dx = integral from 0 to 1 of [(x/2) + (1/4)] dx = 5/8

E(Y) = integral from 0 to 1 of (integral from 0 to 1 of y f(x,y) dx) dy = integral from 0 to 1 of [(y/2) + (1/4)] dy = 5/8

Now, we can use the definition of covariance to find Cov(X,Y):

Cov(X,Y) = E(XY) - E(X)E(Y)

To find E(XY), we need to compute the following integral:

E(XY) = integral from 0 to 1 of (integral from 0 to 1 of xy f(x,y) dy) dx = integral from 0 to 1 of [(x/2 + 1/4)y^2] from 0 to 1 dx

= integral from 0 to 1 of [(x/2 + 1/4)] dx = 7/24

Therefore, Cov(X,Y) = E(XY) - E(X)E(Y) = 7/24 - (5/8)(5/8) = -1/192

To compute the correlation, we need to first find the standard deviations of X and Y:

Var(X) = E(X^2) - [E(X)]^2

E(X^2) = integral from 0 to 1 of (integral from 0 to 1 of x^2 f(x,y) dy) dx = integral from 0 to 1 of [(x/3) + (1/6)] dx = 7/18

Var(X) = 7/18 - (5/8)^2 = 31/144

Similarly, we can find Var(Y) = 31/144

Now, we can use the definition of correlation to find p(X,Y):

p(X,Y) = Cov(X,Y) / [sqrt(Var(X)) sqrt(Var(Y))]

= (-1/192) / [sqrt(31/144) sqrt(31/144)]

= -1/31

Finally, to determine if X and Y are independent, we need to check if their joint distribution can be expressed as the product of their marginal distributions. That is, we need to check if:

f(x,y) = f_X(x) f_Y(y)

where f_X(x) and f_Y(y) are the marginal probability densities of X and Y, respectively.

(b) At most three 1's: 299

(c) At least three 1's: 4017

(d) An equal number of 0's and 1's: 924.

(a) To count the number of bit strings of length 12 with exactly three 1's, we need to choose 3 positions out of 12 for the 1's, and the rest of the positions must be filled with 0's.

Thus, the number of such bit strings is given by the binomial coefficient:

[tex]$${12 \choose 3} = \frac{12!}{3!9!} = 220$$[/tex]

(b) To count the number of bit strings of length 12 with at most three 1's, we can count the number of bit strings with exactly zero, one, two, or three 1's and add them up.

From part (a), we know that there are [tex]${12 \choose 3} = 220$[/tex]bit strings with exactly three 1's.

To count the bit strings with zero, one, or two 1's, we can use the same formula:

[tex]$${12 \choose 0} + {12 \choose 1} + {12 \choose 2} = 1 + 12 + 66 = 79$$[/tex]

We can use the formula for the power series expansion of the function f(x) = (1 - x)^{-2}:

f(x) = ∑_{n=1}^∞ n x^{n-1}

Multiplying both sides by 243 and substituting x = 4, we have:

243(1 - 4)^{-2} = 243f(4) = 243 ∑_{n=1}^∞ n 4^{n-1}

Simplifying the left-hand side, we have:

243(1 - 4)^{-2} = 243(-3)^{-2} = -27/4

So we have:

-27/4 = 243 ∑_{n=1}^∞ n 4^{n-1}

Dividing both sides by 4, we get:

-27/16 = 243/4 ∑_{n=1}^∞ n (4/16)^{n-1}

Simplifying the right-hand side, we have:

-27/16 = 243/4 ∑_{n=1}^∞ n (1/4)^{n-1}

= 243/4 ∑_{n=0}^∞ (n+1) (1/4)^n

= 243/4 ∑_{n=0}^∞ n (1/4)^n + 243/4 ∑_{n=0}^∞ (1/4)^n

= 243/4 ∑_{n=1}^∞ n (1/4)^{n-1} + 243/4 ∑_{n=0}^∞ (1/4)^n

= 243 ∑_{n=1}^∞ n (1/4)^n + 81/4

Therefore, the power series for ()=243(1−4)2 is:

∑_{n=1}^∞ n (1/4)^n = 1/4 + 2/16 + 3/64 + ... = (1/4) ∑_{n=1}^∞ n (1/4)^{n-1} = (1/4) (1/(1-(1/4))^2) = 4/9

So we have:

-27/16 = 243(4/9) + 81/4

The average of the function (sin(wt) cos(wt)) over a complete period is equal to zero.

We can find the average of the function (sin(wt) cos(wt)) over a complete period by integrating the function over one period and dividing by the period. Let T be the period of the function, then we have:

[tex]$\frac{1}{T} \int_0^T sin(wt) cos(wt) dt$[/tex]

Using the identity sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x), we can write the integrand as:

[tex]$\frac{1}{2T} \int_0^T sin(2wt) dt$[/tex]

Since sin(2wt) has a period of T/2, the integral over one period is zero. Therefore, the average of the function over a complete period is equal to zero. Hence, (sin(wt) cos(wt)) = 0 when the average is over a complete period.

To find the coefficients A and B in the inverse Laplace transform of F(s), we need to use partial fraction decomposition and the properties of Laplace transforms. Here's how we do it:

First, we factor the denominator of F(s) as (s-1)(s+6). Then we write F(s) as a sum of two fractions with unknown coefficients A and B:

[tex]F(s) = \frac{7s}{(s-1)(s+6)} = \frac{A}{s-1} +\frac{B}{s+6}[/tex]

To find A, we multiply both sides by (s-1) and then take the inverse Laplace transform:

[tex]L^{-1} [F(s)] = L^{-1}[\frac{A}{s-1} ] +L^{-1}[\frac{B}{s+6} ][/tex]
[tex]f(t) = A e^t + B e^{-6t}[/tex]

Since we know that the inverse Laplace transform of F(s) has the form of f(t) = A e^t + B e^(-6t), we can use this expression to solve for A and B. We just need to evaluate f(t) at two different values of t and then solve the resulting system of equations.

Let's start with t=0:

[tex]f(0) = A e^0 + B e^{0}  = A + B[/tex]

Now let's take the derivative of f(t) and evaluate it at t=0:

[tex]f'(t) = A e^{t} - 6B e^{-6t}[/tex]
f'(0) = A - 6B

We can now solve the system of equations:

A + B = f(0) = 0   (since F(s) is proper, i.e., has no DC component)
A - 6B = f'(0) = 7

Solving for A and B, we get:

A = 21/7 = 3
B = -21/7 = -3

A business loan differs from a personal loan in terms of documentation, collateral, and repayment sources.

To distinguish between a business and a personal loan, several factors come into play.

The loan's purpose is key; if it finances business-related expenses, it is likely a business loan, while personal loans serve personal needs.

Documentation requirements, collateral, and repayment sources also offer clues. Business loans demand business-related documentation, may require business assets as collateral, and rely on business revenue for repayment.

Personal loans, however, focus on personal identification, income verification, personal assets, and personal income for repayment. Loan terms, including duration and loan amount, can also help differentiate between the two types.

Answer: 29

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface will be zero at the planes x=-3, x=3, y=0, and y=3, and will increase as we move away from the minimum in either direction along the y-axis.

The given function is Z = 4x^2(y-2)^2. To graph this function, we can first consider the planes z=1, x=-3, x=3, y=0, and y=3. These planes will create a rectangular prism in the xyz-plane. Next, we can look at the behavior of the function within this rectangular prism. When y=2, the function will have a minimum at z=0. This minimum will be located at x=0. For values of y greater than 2 or less than 0, the function will increase as we move away from the minimum at (0,2,0). Therefore, the graph of the function Z = 4x^2(y-2)^2 will be a three-dimensional surface that is symmetric about the plane y=2 and has a minimum at (0,2,0). The surface will be zero at the planes x=-3, x=3, y=0, and y=3, and will increase as we move away from the minimum in either direction along the y-axis.

To design a Turing machine to decide this language, we can use a two-tape TM.

The language {0 i ∗ 0 j = 0ij} is the language of all strings consisting of a sequence of 0's followed by a sequence of 0's, such that the total number of 0's before and after the equals sign is equal to the number of 0's between the equals sign. For example, the string "000=00" is in this language, since there are three 0's before the equals sign and two 0's after the equals sign, and the product of 3 and 2 is 6, which is the number of 0's between the equals sign.

To design a Turing machine to decide this language, we can use a two-tape TM. The first tape is used to read in the input string, and the second tape is used to store the intermediate calculations. The TM can start by moving the head of the first tape to the right until it reads a 0, and then it can copy this 0 onto the second tape. It can continue to read 0's from the first tape, copying them onto the second tape, until it reaches the equals sign.

Once the equals sign is reached, the TM can start counting the number of 0's on each side of the equals sign by marking the copied 0's on the second tape with a different symbol (e.g., X). It can then compare the two counts by scanning the second tape from left to right and from right to left simultaneously, using a different head for each direction.

If the counts are equal, the TM can mark the final 0 on the second tape with a different symbol (e.g., Y) and then move both heads to the right, checking that there are no more 0's on either side of the equals sign. If there are no more 0's, the TM can accept the input. If there are more 0's, the TM can reject the input.

If the counts are not equal, the TM can reject the input immediately. In this way, the TM will decide the language {0 i ∗ 0 j = 0ij}.

Answer:

The relationship between altitude and atmospheric pressure is exponential, as shown by the function f(x) in this problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. To find the pressure at sea level, we need to evaluate f(x) at x=0:
f(0) = 1038(1.000134)^0 = 1038 millibars.

Therefore, the pressure at sea level is approximately 1038 millibars.

b. To find the atmospheric pressure at an altitude of 2000 meters, we need to evaluate f(x) at x=2000:
f(2000) = 1038(1.000134)^(-2000) ≈ 808.5 millibars.

Therefore, the approximate atmospheric pressure at the McDonald Observatory in Texas is 808.5 millibars.

c. As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure decreases. This is because the atmosphere becomes less dense at higher altitudes, so there are fewer air molecules exerting pressure.

Madan Bahadur would be 41.25 years old and Hari Bahadur would be 60 years old in 2080 B.S.

To solve this problem, we need to use some basic algebraic equations. Let M be the age of Madan Bahadur and H be the age of Hari Bahadur in 2050 B.S. Then we have:

M + H = 40 (Equation 1)

In 2065 B.S., their ages are M+15 and H+15, respectively. We are given that the ratio of their ages was 3:4, so we can write:

(M+15)/(H+15) = 3/4 (Equation 2)

We can simplify Equation 2 by cross-multiplying:

4(M+15) = 3(H+15)

Expanding the brackets, we get:

4M + 60 = 3H + 45

Rearranging the terms, we have:

4M - 3H = 45 - 60

4M - 3H = -15 (Equation 3)

Now we have three equations (Equations 1, 2, and 3) with three unknowns (M, H, and their ages in 2080 B.S.). We can solve for M and H first, and then use their ages in 2065 B.S. to find their ages in 2080 B.S.

From Equation 1, we can write:

H = 40 - M

Substituting this into Equation 3, we get:

4M - 3(40 - M) = -15

Expanding the brackets, we get:

7M - 120 = -15

Adding 120 to both sides, we get:

7M = 105

Dividing both sides by 7, we get:

M = 15

Substituting this value into Equation 1, we get:

H = 40 - M = 25

Therefore, Madan Bahadur was 15 years old and Hari Bahadur was 25 years old in 2050 B.S. Now we can use their ages in 2065 B.S. to find their ages in 2080 B.S.

In 2065 B.S., their ages were M+15 = 30 and H+15 = 40, respectively. We are given that the ratio of their ages was 3:4, so we can write:

30x = 3y (Equation 4)

40x = 4y (Equation 5)

where x and y are positive integers.

We can simplify Equation 4 by dividing both sides by 3:

10x = y

Substituting this into Equation 5, we get:

40x = 4(10x)

Dividing both sides by 4x, we get:

10 = 1/x

Therefore, x = 1/10. Substituting this into Equation 4, we get:

y = 10x = 1

So their ages in 2065 B.S. were 30 and 40 years, respectively.

Finally, we can use the same ratio of 3:4 to find their ages in 2080 B.S.:

Madan Bahadur's age in 2080 B.S. = 30 + 15(3/4) = 41.25 years

Hari Bahadur's age in 2080 B.S. = 40 + 15(4/3) = 60 years

P(1 or fewer) = P(X ≤ 1) =  0.0391 (rounded to four decimal places). The mean is 4 (rounded to two decimal places). The standard deviation is approximately 1.41 (rounded to three decimal places).

Part 1:

To find the probability P(1 or fewer) for a binomial experiment with n = 8 trials and success probability p = 0.5, we can use the binomial probability formula:

P(1 or fewer) = P(X ≤ 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

where X is a binomial random variable with parameters n and p.

Using the formula for the probability of a binomial distribution, we get:

[tex]P(X = 0) = (8 choose 0) * (0.5)^0 * (0.5)^(8-0) = 0.0039P(X = 1) = (8 choose 1) * (0.5)^1 * (0.5)^(8-1) = 0.0352[/tex]

Therefore, P(1 or fewer) = P(X ≤ 1) = 0.0039 + 0.0352 = 0.0391 (rounded to four decimal places).

Part 2:

The mean of a binomial distribution is given by the formula:

μ = np

where n is the number of trials and p is the probability of success.

Substituting n = 8 and p = 0.5, we get:

μ = 8 * 0.5 = 4

Therefore, the mean is 4 (rounded to two decimal places).

Part 3:

The variance of a binomial distribution is given by the formula:

[tex]σ^2 = np(1 - p)[/tex]

Using the values of n and p, we get:

[tex]σ^2 = 8 * 0.5 * (1 - 0.5) = 2[/tex]

Therefore, the variance is 2 (rounded to two decimal places).

The standard deviation of a binomial distribution is the square root of the variance, so:

σ = sqrt(2) ≈ 1.41

Therefore, the standard deviation is approximately 1.41 (rounded to three decimal places).

The total variance of the portfolio is 0.12.

To calculate the total variance of a portfolio with two assets, we need to consider the individual variances of each asset, their weights in the portfolio, and the correlation between them.

The formula for the total variance of a two-asset portfolio is:

Var(P) = w1^2 * Var(A) + w2^2 * Var(B) + 2 * w1 * w2 * Cov(A, B)

Where:

Var(P) is the total variance of the portfolio,

w1 and w2 are the weights of assets A and B respectively (given as 1 and 2 in this case),

Var(A) and Var(B) are the variances of assets A and B respectively,

Cov(A, B) is the covariance between assets A and B.

Given the following information:

Asset A: E(r) = 0.2, σ = 0.5

Asset B: E(r) = 0.4, σ = 0.7

Correlation: -0.8

The variances of assets A and B are σ^2(A) = 0.5^2 = 0.25 and σ^2(B) = 0.7^2 = 0.49.

The covariance between assets A and B can be calculated using the correlation coefficient:

Cov(A, B) = ρ(A, B) * σ(A) * σ(B) = -0.8 * 0.5 * 0.7 = -0.28

Plugging the values into the formula, we have:

Var(P) = 1^2 * 0.25 + 2^2 * 0.49 + 2 * 1 * (-0.28) = 0.25 + 1.96 - 0.56 = 1.65

Therefore, the total variance of the portfolio is 1.65, which is not among the provided answer choices.

The minimum number of scooters that can be produced for a cost of 6 thousand dollars is 4.

We are given that the cost of producing x number of scooters is represented by the quadratic equation x² - 10x + 27, where x is the number of scooters produced.

To find the minimum number of scooters that can be produced for a cost of 6 thousand dollars, we need to solve the equation:

x² - 10x + 27 = 6

x² - 10x + 21 = 0

To solve this quadratic equation, we can use the quadratic formula x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a

where a, b, and c are the coefficients of the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0. In this case, a = 1, b = -10, and c = 21.

Plugging these values into the quadratic formula, we get:

x = (-(-10) ± √((-10)² - 4(1)(21))) / 2(1)

Simplifying this expression, we get:

x = (10 ± √4) / 2

x = 5 ± 1

Therefore, the solutions of the quadratic equation are x = 6 and x = 4. To find the minimum number of scooters that can be produced for a cost of 6 thousand dollars, we choose the smaller value, which is x = 4.

Therefore, the answer is 4.

To prove that 2a+1 and 4a^2+1 are relatively prime, we can use the Euclidean algorithm. Let's assume that there exists a common factor d > 1 that divides both 2a+1 and 4a^2+1. Then we can write:

2a+1 = dm

4a^2+1 = dn

where m and n are integers. Rearranging the second equation, we get:

4a^2 = dn - 1

Since dn - 1 is odd, we can write it as dn - 1 = 2k + 1, where k is an integer. Substituting this into the above equation, we get:

4a^2 = 2k + 1

2a^2 = k + (1/2)

Since k is an integer, (1/2) must be an integer, which is a contradiction. Therefore, our assumption that there exists a common factor d > 1 that divides both 2a+1 and 4a^2+1 is false. Hence, 2a+1 and 4a^2+1 are relatively prime.

If someone increases their lean muscle mass by 1 pound every two months, they will achieve a weight gain of approximately 6 pounds in a year.

Increasing lean muscle mass is a gradual process that requires consistent training and proper nutrition. On average, a person can aim to gain about 0.5-1 pound of lean muscle per month with a well-designed strength training plan.

Therefore, if someone is able to consistently increase their lean muscle mass by 1 pound every two months, they would gain approximately 6 pounds in a year.

It's important to note that the rate of muscle gain can vary depending on several factors, including genetics, training intensity, diet, and individual response to exercise. Some individuals may experience faster muscle growth, while others may progress at a slower pace.

Additionally, as someone gains muscle mass, their metabolic rate may increase, which can further influence their overall body weight.

While gaining muscle is often a desirable goal for many individuals, it's crucial to focus on overall health and body composition rather than just the number on the scale. Strength training not only helps increase muscle mass but also improves strength, bone density, and overall physical performance.

It's recommended to consult with a fitness professional or a certified trainer to develop a personalized strength training plan that suits individual goals and abilities.

A 3rd-degree polynomial whose roots are 1 and -1 only is :

P(x) = x^3 - rx^2 - x + r, where r is any real number.

To find a 3rd-degree polynomial whose roots are 1 and -1 only, we will first create a polynomial with these roots and then add a third root to satisfy the degree requirement.

Since 1 and -1 are the roots, we know that the polynomial can be expressed as:

P(x) = (x - 1)(x + 1)

Expanding this expression gives:

P(x) = x^2 - 1

Now, we need to create a 3rd-degree polynomial. To do this, we can simply multiply P(x) by another linear factor, such as (x - r), where r is any real number:

P(x) = (x^2 - 1)(x - r)

Expanding the expression:

P(x) = x^3 - rx^2 - x + r

So, a 3rd-degree polynomial whose roots are 1 and -1 only can be written as P(x) = x^3 - rx^2 - x + r, where r is any real number.

Solving for a using a numerical method, we get: a ≈ 0.886. The value of a is approximately 0.886.The Mean Value Theorem states that there exists a value c in the closed interval [a, b] such that f'(c) = (f(b) - f(a))/(b - a). In this case, f(x) = x^3 + 2 and the closed interval is 0 < a £ c £ 2, with c = 1.720.

To find the value of a, we first need to find f'(x). Taking the derivative of f(x), we get f'(x) = 3x^2.
Using the Mean Value Theorem, we have:
f'(c) = (f(2) - f(a))/(2 - a)
Substituting the values given, we get:
3c^2 = (2^3 + 2 - a^3 - 2)/(2 - a)
Simplifying the right-hand side, we get:
3c^2 = (a^3 - 6)/(2 - a)
Multiplying both sides by (2 - a), we get:
3c^2(2 - a) = a^3 - 6
Expanding the left-hand side and rearranging, we get:
6c^2 - 3ac^2 - a^3 + 6 = 0
Substituting c = 1.720, we get:
6(1.720)^2 - 3a(1.720)^2 - a^3 + 6 = 0
Solving for a using a numerical method, we get:
a ≈ 0.886

Therefore, the line integral is:

∫c xy^4 ds = 125∫[0,pi] cos(t)sin^4(t) dt = 125(48/5) = 1200

The right half of the circle x^2 + y^2 = 25 can be parameterized as c(t) = (5cos(t), 5sin(t)) for t in [0, pi], where the orientation is counterclockwise.

The line integral of xy^4 along c is given by:

∫c xy^4 ds = ∫[0,pi] xy^4 ||c'(t)|| dt

where ||c'(t)|| is the magnitude of the derivative of c with respect to t.

We have:

c'(t) = (-5sin(t), 5cos(t))

||c'(t)|| = sqrt[(-5sin(t))^2 + (5cos(t))^2] = 5sqrt(sin^2(t) + cos^2(t)) = 5

So the line integral becomes:

∫c xy^4 ds = ∫[0,pi] xy^4 ||c'(t)|| dt

= 5∫[0,pi] 25cos(t)sin^4(t) dt

= 125∫[0,pi] cos(t)sin^4(t) dt

To evaluate this integral, we can use integration by substitution. Let u = sin(t), then du/dt = cos(t) and dt = du/cos(t). So we have:

∫cos(t)sin^4(t) dt = ∫u^4 du/cos(t) = ∫u^4 sec(t) du

We can evaluate this integral as follows:

∫u^4 sec(t) du = sec(t)u^5/5 - 2/5 ∫u^2 sec(t) du

= sec(t)u^5/5 - 2/5 tan(t)u^3/3 + 4/15 ∫u^2 du

= sec(t)u^5/5 - 2/5 tan(t)u^3/3 + 2/5 u^3 + C

where C is the constant of integration.

Substituting back u = sin(t) and integrating over [0,pi], we obtain:

∫[0,pi] cos(t)sin^4(t) dt

= [sec(t)u^5/5 - 2/5 tan(t)u^3/3 + 2/5 u^3]_0^pi

The unit sales of lawnmowers, approximated by the equation U = 79.50 - 41.75 cos(t/6), where t represents the time in months, exceed 100,000 units in certain months.

To find the months in which unit sales exceed 100,000, we need to identify the values of t that make U greater than 100. Plugging in the equation U = 100,000, we can solve for t:

100,000 = 79.50 - 41.75 cos(t/6)

Rearranging the equation, we get:

41.75 cos(t/6) = 79.50 - 100,000

cos(t/6) = (79.50 - 100,000) / 41.75

Using the inverse cosine function, we can find the value of t/6 that satisfies the equation. However, since the cosine function is periodic, we need to consider multiple values of t that yield unit sales exceeding 100,000.

By evaluating the inverse cosine function for different values of (79.50 - 100,000) / 41.75, we can determine the corresponding values of t. These values represent the months in which unit sales exceed 100,000.
