Step-by-step explanation:

If a continuous random variable X is normally distributed with mean μ and variance σ², it is written as:

[tex]\boxed{X \sim\text{N}(\mu,\sigma^2)}[/tex]

Given:

Therefore, if the lifespans of an item are normally distributed:

[tex]\boxed{X \sim\text{N}(6.7,1.7^2)}[/tex]

where X is the lifespan of the item.

Converting to the Z distribution

[tex]\boxed{\textsf{If }\: X \sim\textsf{N}(\mu,\sigma^2)\:\textsf{ then }\: \dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}=Z, \quad \textsf{where }\: Z \sim \textsf{N}(0,1)}[/tex]

To find the number of years that 7% of the items with the shortest lifespan will last less than, we need to find the value of a for which P(X < a) = 7%:

[tex]\implies \text{P}(X < a) =0.07[/tex]

Transform X to Z:

[tex]\text{P}(X < a) = \text{P}\left(Z < \dfrac{a-6.7}{1.7}\right)=0.07[/tex]

According to the z-tables, when p = 0.07, z = -1.47579106...

[tex]\implies \dfrac{a-6.7}{1.7}= -1.47579106...[/tex]

An equation is an expression that contains numbers and variables linked together by mathematical operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and exponents. An equation can either  be linear, quadratic, cubic, depending of the degree of the variable.

Trigonometric ratio is used to show the relationship between the sides and angles of a right triangle.

Let h represent the height of the mountain. Let d represent the distance from the plain to the mountain base

Using trigonometric ratio:

tan(32) = h/d

h = d * tan(32)

Also:

tan(36) = h / (d - 1000)

h = (d - 1000) * tan(36)

Equating:

d * tan(32) = (d - 1000) * tan(36)

d = 7145.9 feet

h = d * tan(32) = 7145.9 * tan(32) = 4465.2 feet

Therefore, we will need volume approximately 694.4 cubic feet of sand to fill the pit to a depth of 30 inches.

The volume of a three-dimensional item, which is measured in cubic units, describes how much room it occupies. Two instances of cubic units are cm3 and in3. To the contrary hand, a measurement of a thing's mass indicates how much material it includes. Typically, the weight of an item is measured in mass units the same as pounds or kilograms.

Here,

a.

Length: 30 feet 2 inches

Width: 9 feet 2 inches

Height: 30 inches (since the sand needs to be 30 inches deep)

To calculate the amount of wood required, we need to find the perimeter and area of the base of the frame.

Perimeter = 2(Length + Width) = 2(30 ft 2 in + 9 ft 2 in) = 2(39 ft 4 in) = 78 ft 8 in

Area of the base = Length × Width = (30 ft 2 in) × (9 ft 2 in) = 275 ft²

The amount of wood needed to surround the pit can then be calculated by finding the total surface area of the wooden frame.

Total surface area = 2(L × H) + 2(W × H) + Area of the base

= 2(30 ft 2 in × 30 in) + 2(9 ft 2 in × 30 in) + 275 ft²

≈ 240.5 square feet

Therefore, we will need approximately 240.5 square feet of wood to surround the pit.

b.

Length: 30 ft 2 in = (30 × 12) + 2 = 362 inches

Width: 9 ft 2 in = (9 × 12) + 2 = 110 inches

Depth: 30 inches

The volume of sand needed to fill the pit can be calculated using the formula:

Volume = Length × Width × Depth

Substituting the values, we get:

Volume = 362 in × 110 in × 30 in

= 1,198,800 cubic inches

To convert cubic inches to cubic feet, we divide by 12^3 (since there are 12 inches in a foot, and we need to cube this conversion factor):

Volume = 1,198,800 in³ ÷ (12³ in³/ft³)

= 694.4 ft³ (rounded to one decimal place)

Therefore, we will need approximately 694.4 cubic feet of sand to fill the pit to a depth of 30 inches.

The expression that is equivalent to (1 + cos(x))2Tangent (StartFraction x Over 2 EndFraction) ) is option D. (1 + cos(x))(sin (x))

The expression (1 + cos(x))2Tangent (StartFraction x Over 2 EndFraction) is equivalent to (1 + cos(x))(sin (x)) because of the double angle identity for tangent.

here, we have,

The double angle identity states that tangent of 2 times an angle is equal to 2 times the tangent of that angle divided by 1 minus the square of the tangent of that angle. In other words,

tan(2θ) = 2tan(θ)/(1 - tan2(θ))

In this expression, we have tangent of x/2,

so substituting θ = x/2 gives us:

tan(x) = 2tan(x/2)/(1 - tan2(x/2))

Since cos(x) = 1 - 2sin2(x/2),

we can simplify the expression to:

(1 + cos(x))2tan(x/2) = (1 + 1 - 2sin2(x/2))2tan(x/2)

                               = (2 - 2sin2(x/2))(2sin(x/2)/(1 - sin2(x/2)))

Expanding the product of the two factors gives us the final result:

(1 + cos(x))2tan(x/2) = (2 - 2sin2(x/2))(sin(x)) = (1 + cos(x))(sin(x))

Answer: In a triangle, the medians divide the triangle into six smaller triangles with equal area. This can be proven using the fact that the medians of a triangle are concurrent, meaning they all intersect at a single point called the centroid.

Let's assume that AD = 2BE, then the area of △ADG is equal to four times the area of △BEG. This can be expressed as follows:

Area(△ADG) = 4 * Area(△BEG)

Since GD is one of the medians, it must be equal to one-third of AD. So, we can write:

GD = AD/3

Since the area of △ADG is equal to four times the area of △BEG, we can write:

Area(△ADG) = 4 * Area(△BEG)

(2BE)^2/2 * GD / 2 = 4 * BE^2/2 * EG / 2

Expanding and simplifying the above equation gives us:

BE^2 * GD / 2 = 4 * BE^2/2 * EG / 2

And, finally, dividing both sides of the equation by BE^2/2, we get:

GD = 1/3 * AD

This result holds true regardless of the relative lengths of AD and BE. Hence, the conclusion that GD = 1/3 AD is always true for any triangle △ABC where AD and BE are medians.

The assumption must be false, which means that either x < 8 or y < 8 must hold true.

What is the Proof by Contradiction?

A proof by contradiction is a method of proof in which we assume the opposite of what we want to prove, and then show that this assumption leads to a contradiction. The contradiction then serves as evidence that the assumption must be false, and therefore the original statement must be true.

In this case, we want to prove that for any positive real numbers x and y, if x · y ≤ 50, then either x < 8 or y < 8.

Suppose for the sake of contradiction that x and y are positive real numbers such that x · y ≤ 50 and x ≥ 8 and y ≥ 8. Then, since x and y are positive, we have x · y = xy ≥ 64, which contradicts the assumption that x · y ≤ 50.

Therefore, we have shown that the assumption that x and y are positive real numbers such that x · y ≤ 50 and x ≥ 8 and y ≥ 8 leads to a contradiction.

Hence, the assumption must be false, which means that either x < 8 or y < 8 must hold true.

An integer is a whole number that can be positive, negative, or zero. It is a number without any fractional or decimal component. Integers include the counting numbers (1, 2, 3, ...) and their negatives (-1, -2, -3, ...), as well as 0. Examples of integers are -5, -3, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, and so on. Integers are used in a variety of mathematical operations, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and they play a key role in many areas of mathematics, including number theory, algebra, and discrete mathematics.

(a) Suppose that gcd(a, b) is not equal to 1. Then, there exists a positive integer k such that k divides both a and b. Let a = ka' and b = kb', where a' and b' are relatively prime.

Since there are integers u and v satisfying au + bv = 1, it follows that ka'u + kb'v = k(a'u + b'v) = k. But this means that k divides 1, which is a contradiction. Hence, gcd(a, b) must equal 1.

(b) No, it is not necessarily true that gcd(a, b) = 6 just because au + bv = 6. Consider the counter example a = 4 and b = 2. In this case, we have 2u + 4v = 6, but gcd(a, b) = 2, not 6.

In general, if there are integers u and v satisfying au + bv = k, then gcd(a, b) divides k. However, the converse is not necessarily true; that is, just because gcd(a, b) divides k does not mean there are integers u and v satisfying au + bv = k.

Where x is a value from the initial normal distribution, μ is the mean of the initial normal distribution, and σ is the standard deviation of the initial normal distribution. The standard normal distribution is periodically called the z distribution.

Here,
The methods to assess whether the x distribution is normal are:

a) Look at a normal quantile plot to check for a straight line.

b) Use a histogram or boxplot to check for symmetry and outliers.

Answer:

4π

Step-by-step explanation:

The Period, as measured from crest-to-crest (or from trough-to-trough), is 4π, as read directly from the graph

Answer:  a. To find f(-2), substitute -2 for x in the function f(x):

f(-2) = 3(-2)² - 2(-2) + 4 = 3(4) - 2(-2) + 4 = 12 - (-4) + 4 = 16

So, f(-2) = 16.

b. To find f(k+1), substitute (k+1) for x in the function f(x):

f(k+1) = 3(k+1)² - 2(k+1) + 4 = 3k² + 6k + 3 - 2k - 2 + 4 = 3k² + 4k + 5

So, f(k+1) = 3k² + 4k + 5.
