Find the positive numbers such that the sum of and its reciprocal is as small as possible.Does this problem require optimization over an open interval or a closed interval

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes and closed interval

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

For the sum and the reciprocal as small as the possible equation is as follows

[tex]\(\frac{d}{dx}\left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right)=0.\)[/tex]

Now take out the derivates,

So,

[tex]\(1-\frac{1}{x^2}=0,\)[/tex]

or we can say that

[tex]\(x^2-1=0\rightarrow x=\pm1.\)[/tex]

As the only positive number is to be determined i.e

x = 1

So this problem needed the optimization over a closed interval and the same is to be considered.

Joey participated in a standardized reading test. He scored in the middle of the third stanine in a normal distribution. All of the following are incorrect except:_________. a. His score was the median for the group that participated in the test.b. His t-score is 40.c. His score fell at +2 standard deviationd. His score fell at a z-score of -3.

Answers

Answer:

b. His t-score is 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

The middle of the third stanine in a normal distribution means that the standard of nine that is applied has the middle of the third count.

It means that if we divide the normal distribution with the standard of nine we will find the score to be  the middle of the  third division.

So it will be (1/3*9=3) more than 3.

Which in normal distribution will be more than 30.

The t distribution is approximately normal when the number of degrees of freedom is greater than 30 .

So the best answer is that His t-score is 40  ( choice b).

Write the rule that transforms p(x) into q(x), where q(x)=2p(x+3)−6

Answers

Answer:

The graph of p(x) stretch vertically by factor 2 and shifts 3 units left and 6 units down to get q(x).

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that p(x) and q(x) are two functions such that

[tex]q(x)=2p(x+3)-6[/tex]    ...(1)

The translation is defined as

[tex]q(x)=kp(x+a)+b[/tex]              .... (2)

Where, k is stretch factor, a is horizontal shift and b is vertical shift.

If 0<k<1, then the graph compressed vertically by factor k and if k>1, then the graph stretch vertically by factor k.

If a>0, then the graph shifts a units left and if a<0, then the graph shifts a units right.

If b>0, then the graph shifts b units up and if b<0, then the graph shifts b units down.

On comparing (1) and (2) we get

k=2>1, so the graph of p(x) stretch vertically by factor 2.

a=3>0, so the graph of p(x) shifts 3 units left.

b=-6<0, so the graph of p(x) shifts 6 units down.

Therefore, the graph of p(x) stretch vertically by factor 2 and shifts 3 units left and 6 units down to get q(x).

An arithmetic progression has the 3rd term of 13 and the last term of 148. If the common difference is 5, find the number of terms of the progression.

Answers

Answer:

30 terms

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of an AP is

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here d = 5 and a₃ = 13, thus

a₁ + 2d = 13

a₁ + 2(5) = 13

a₁ + 10 = 13 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

a₁ = 3

Thus

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = 3 + 5(n - 1) = 148 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

5(n - 1) = 145 ( divide both sides by 5 )

n - 1 = 29 ( add 1 to both sides )

n = 30

The progression has 30 terms

A rational number is such that when you multiply it by 5/2 and add 2/3 to the product, you get 7/12. What is the number?

Answers

Answer:A rational number is such that when you multiply it by 5/2 and add 2/3 to the product you get -7/12 . What is the number.

Step-by-step explanation:Let p/q (q ≠ 0) denote the rational number. Multiplying it by 5/2 gives (p/q)(5/2). Add 2/3 to the product and we get (p/q)(5/2) + 2/3 . The result is given to be -7/12.

∴ (p/q)(5/2) + 2/3 = -7/12 …………………………..……………………………………..(1)

Transposing 2/3 to right-hand-side and changing the sign to negative,

(p/q)(5/2) = -2/3 -7/12 = -(2/3 + 7/12) =- (2 x 4 + 7)/12 (Taking L.C.M.)

Or, (p/q)(5/2) = -(8+7)/12 = - 15/12

Multiplying both sides by 2/5,

(p/q)(5/2) x (2/5) = -15/12 . 2/5 = -(3x5)/(3x4) . 2/5 =- 5/4 .2/5

Since 2/5 is the multiplicative inverse of 5/2, 5/2 x 2/5 = 1 and we obtain

(p/q).1 = -1/4 . 2/1 = -1/2

⇒ p/q = -1/2 which is a negative rational number in which p = 1 and q = 2 ≠ 0 .

∴ the rational number = -1/2

Two trains leave stations 468 miles apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One train travels at 85 miles per hour while the other travels at 95 miles per hour. How long will it take for the two trains to meet?

Answers

Answer:

2.6 hours

2 hours 36 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time be x hours

we know

distance = speed*time

speed of one train = 85 miles/hour

time = x hours

distance traveled by one train = 85*x = 85x miles

speed of one train = 95 miles/hour

time = x hours

distance traveled by other  train = 95*x = 95x miles

__________________________________________________

Given that

Two trains leave stations 468 miles apart at the same time and travel toward each other

Thus, together cover 468 miles.

distance traveled by one train + distance traveled by other train = 468

85x+95x = 468

=> 180x = 468

=> x = 468/180 = 2.6

Thus, it will take 2.6 hours to meet each other

we know 1 hour = 60 minutes

0.6 hour = 60*0.6 minutes = 36 minutes

Thus, we can also say that it took 2 hours 36 minutes to meet each other.

4. Each small square in the graph paper represents 1 square unit. Find the area of each
figure. Explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer: A = 6.5

B = 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, remember that when we have a triangle of height H and base B, the area of the triangle is:

Area = B*H/2.

A:

First, count the complete squares:

We have 6 complete squares.

Now the diagonal part:

The diagonal connects a section of 1 by 3 squares, and the shaded area is a right triangle

Then the shaded area will be half of 1 by 3.

this is 1.5 squares.

The total area of A is:

6 + 1.5 = 7.5 squares.

B:

This is more complicated.

At the beginning, we have 4 completed squares in the top right.

At the left, we have a 2 by 4 = 8 square region, where the shaded part is only a triangle rectangle.

Then the area of this triangle is half of 8 squares:

8/2 = 4 squares.

Last, at the bottom, we have two times a 2 by 1 = 2 square region, where the shaded part is a triangle rectangle.

Then the area of each triangle is 2/2 = 1 square.

And we have two of them, so there are 2 squares here.

Then the total area is:

A = 4 + 4 + 1 + 1 = 10 squares.

Each small square In the graph paper represents 1 square unit

While making desserts for Fun Day, Methuki used 5/6 of a scoop of brown sugar as well as 1/2 of a scoop of white sugar. How much more brown sugar did she use?

Answers

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We want to find how much more 5/6 is than 1/2. To do this, we simply subtract 1/2 from 5/6. This will show us how much more 5/6 is.

First, we multiply 1/2 by 3/3 so that the denominator is 6.

1/2×3/3=3/6

Now, we subtract this from 5/6.

5/6-3/6=2/6

We can simplify this to 1/3.

Therefore, Methuki used 1/3 scoop more of brown sugar than white sugar while making desserts for Fun Day.

23h Sam will be going shopping on Dec 26. He currently has $150. He wants to buy pants for $90 and
t-shirts for $12.50 each. He expects to get at most $150 for Christmas. How many t-shirts can he expect to
purchase?

Answers

Answer:

4 t shirts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that money available with Sam = $150

Price for pants = $90

Price of each t shirt = $12.50

To find:

How many t shirts can he expect to purchase?

Solution:

Price for 2 pants = $180 which is more than $150.

Therefore, he can not buy more than 1 pants.

The remaining amount after buying pants = $150 - $90 = $60

This amount will be used for buying t-shirts.

Number of t-shirts that can be bought:

[tex]\dfrac{60}{12.5} \approx 4.8[/tex]

But answer in decimal points for number of t shirts is not possible and he does not have more money.

It means, he can buy at most 4 t-shirts.

which is the equation of a circle centered at (1, -3) with radius 4, and thus with area 16π.

The area of the region enclosed in the graph x²+y² =2x-6y+6 is 50.26 square units.

What is the area of the circle?

The area of the circle can be calculated by the product of π times square of the radius or the product of π/4 times square of diameter.

Area of the circle= A= πr²= πd²/4

where r is radius of the circle and d is diameter of the circle.

Here given that

the equation of circle is given by

x²+y² =2x-6y+6

⇒ x²+y² -2x-6y = 6

⇒ x²-2x+y²-6y = 6

Adding 1 on both sides

⇒ x²-2x+1+y²-6y = 6+1

Adding 9 on both sides

⇒ x²-2x+1+ y²-6y+9 = 6+1+9

⇒x²-2x+1+ y²-6y+9 = 16

⇒ (x-1)² + (y-3)²= 4²

which is similar to equation of the circle

(x-a)² + (y-b)²= r²

This is the equation of the circle in center and radius form where (a,b) is the center of the circle and r is the radius of the circle.

here in the equation of the circle the center of the circle is (1,3)

radius is 4 units.

b. [tex]m\widehat{WZ}[/tex] = 118

c.  m∠W = 62

d. [tex]m\widehat{WX}[/tex] = 122°

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The given parameters are;

m∠X = 118

[tex]\overline {WZ} \cong \overline {YZ}[/tex]

m∠Y = 120

m∠X + m∠Z = 180  Angles in opposite segment are supplementary

m∠Z = 180 - m∠X  = 180 - 118 = 62

m∠Z =  62

b. Given [tex]\overline {WZ} \cong \overline {YZ}[/tex] line drawn from W to Y forms isosceles triangles WZY, with base angles ∠WYZ and ∠YWZ equal (Base angles of an isosceles triangle)

Therefore

∠WYZ + ∠YWZ + m∠Z = 180 (Angle sum theorem)

∠WYZ = ∠YWZ (Substitution property of equality)

∠WYZ + ∠YWZ + m∠Z = ∠WYZ + ∠WYZ + m∠Z =180

2×∠WYZ + 62 =180

2×∠WYZ = 180 -62 = 118°

∠WYZ =  118°/2 =59

∠WYZ = ∠YWZ = 59

[tex]m\widehat{WZ}[/tex] subtends chord WZ at the center  =  ∠WYZ  subtends chord WZ at the circumference

∴ 2×∠WYZ = [tex]m\widehat{WZ}[/tex]

[tex]m\widehat{WZ}[/tex]  = 2×59 = 118

[tex]m\widehat{WZ}[/tex] = 118

c.  m∠X + m∠Y + m∠Z + m∠W = 360 (Sum of angles in a quadrilateral)

m∠W = 360 - (m∠X + m∠Y + m∠Z) = 360 - (118 + 120 + 60) = 62

m∠W = 62

d. [tex]m\widehat{WZ}[/tex] + [tex]m\widehat{WX}[/tex] = [tex]m\widehat{XWZ}[/tex]  (Angle addition postulate)

[tex]m\widehat{XWZ}[/tex] = 2 × ∠Y (Angle subtended at the center = 2 × Angle subtended at the circumference

∴ [tex]m\widehat{XWZ}[/tex] = 2 × 120 = 240

[tex]m\widehat{WX}[/tex] = [tex]m\widehat{XWZ}[/tex] - [tex]m\widehat{WZ}[/tex]

[tex]m\widehat{WX}[/tex] = 240 - 118 = 122°

Is x(x-6)=20 a quadratic equation

Answers

Answer: Yes, it is a quadratic equation

We can distribute the outer x to each term inside

x(x-6) = x^2-6x

So the original equation turns into

x^2-6x = 20

Then you could subtract 20 from both sides to get everything to the same side

x^2-6x-20 = 20-20

x^2-6x-20 = 0

This quadratic equation is in the form ax^2+bx+c = 0 with a = 1, b = -6, c = -20.

The presence of the x^2 term, and having it be the largest exponent, is what makes this a quadratic.
