Answer:

1. 115 chocolates were added

2. 861 visitors in September

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

Initially:

m=number of mints

60% of 230 sweets were mints  =>

m = 230*0.6 = 138 mints

initial number of chocolates, c1  =  230 - 138 = 92

Now chocolates were added

138 mints represented 40% of the total number of sweets, so

total number of sweets  = 138 / 0.4 = 345

Number of chocolates added = 345 - 230 = 115

2.

In August 36% were locals, 64% were from elsewhere.

In suptember,

locals decreassed by 25% to 36*0.75=27% (of August total)

foreigner increased by 50% to 64*1.5=96% (of August total)

Total Inrease = 96+27-100 = 23% of August total  = 161 visitors

August total = 161/0.23 = 700 visitors

September total = 700 + 161 = 861 visitors

[tex]\large \boxed{\sf 15 \ \ and \ \ 24 \ \ }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

We can write the following, x being the second number.

[tex](2x-6)^2+x^2=801\\\\6^2-2\cdot 6 \cdot 2x + (2x)^2+x^2=801\\\\36-24x+4x^2+x^2=801\\\\5x^2-24x+36-801=0\\\\5x^2-24x-765=0\\\\[/tex]

Let's use the discriminant.

[tex]\Delta=b^4-4ac=24^2+4*5*765=15876=126^2[/tex]

There are two solutions and the positive one is

[tex]\dfrac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\dfrac{24+126}{10}=\dfrac{150}{10}=15[/tex]

So the solutions are 15 and 15*2-6 = 30-6 = 24

Hope this helps.

Answer:

1 , - ( 3x^2/2), + (25x^4/24).

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

y = (e^-x^2)cosx.

STEP ONE: Write out the power series out(either by deriving it or otherwise).

If you check the power series table, you will get the power series for the two functions that is cos x and e^-x^2.

e^-x^2 = 1 - (x^2) + ( x^4/2! ) - (x^6/3!) +...

Cos x = 1 - (x^2/2!) + x^4/4!) + (x^6/6!) -...

STEP TWO: Multiply both the power series of e^-x^2 and Cos x together because we are to determine or find the first three nonzero terms in the maclaurin series for the given function.

1 - (x^2) + ( x^4/2! ) - (x^6/3!) +... - 1 - (x^2/2!) + x^4/4!) + (x^6/6!) -...

= 1 - ( 3x^2/2) + (25x^4/24).

= 1, - ( 3x^2/2) , + (25x^4/24) => comma- separated list.

This is using Pythagorean theorem

Answer:

dI/dt = 0.0001(2000 - I)I

I(0) = 20

[tex]I(t)=\frac{2000}{1+99e^{-0.2t}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given in the question that the rate of spread of the disease is proportional to the product of the non infected and the infected population.

Also given I(t) is the number of the infected individual at a time t.

[tex]\frac{dI}{dt}\propto \textup{ the product of the infected and the non infected populations}[/tex]

Given total population is 2000. So the non infected population = 2000 - I.

[tex]\frac{dI}{dt}\propto (2000-I)I\\\frac{dI}{dt}=k (2000-I)I, \ \textup{ k is proportionality constant.}\\\textup{Since}\ k = 0.0001\\ \therefore \frac{dI}{dt}=0.0001 (2000-I)I[/tex]

Now, I(0) is the number of infected persons at time t = 0.

So, I(0) = 1% of 2000

            = 20

Now, we have dI/dt = 0.0001(2000 - I)I  and  I(0) = 20

[tex]\frac{dI}{dt}=0.0001(2000-I)I\\\frac{dI}{(2000-I)I}=0.0001 dt\\\left ( \frac{1}{2000I}-\frac{1}{2000(I-2000)} \right )dI=0.0001dt\\\frac{dI}{2000I}-\frac{dI}{2000(I-2000)}=0.0001dt\\\textup{Integrating we get},\\\frac{lnI}{2000}-\frac{ln(I-2000)}{2000}=0.0001t+k \ \ \ (k \text{ is constant})\\ln\left ( \frac{I}{I-222} \right )=0.2t+2000k[/tex]

[tex]\frac{I}{I-2000}=Ae^{0.2t}\\\frac{I-2000}{I}=Be^{-0.2t}\\\frac{2000}{I}=1-Be^{-0.2t}\\I(t)=\frac{2000}{1-Be^{-0.2t}}\textup{Now we have}, I(0)=20\\\frac{2000}{1-B}=20\\\frac{100}{1-B}=1\\B=-99\\ \therefore I(t)=\frac{2000}{1+99e^{-0.2t}}[/tex]

The required expressions are presented below:

[tex]\frac{dI}{dt} = 0.0001\cdot I\cdot (2000-I)[/tex] [tex]\blacksquare[/tex]

[tex]I(0) = \frac{1}{100}[/tex] [tex]\blacksquare[/tex]

[tex]I(t) = \frac{20\cdot e^{\frac{t}{5} }}{1+20\cdot e^{\frac{t}{5} }}[/tex] [tex]\blacksquare[/tex]

After reading the statement, we obtain the following differential equation:

[tex]\frac{dI}{dt} = k\cdot I\cdot (n-I)[/tex] (1)

Where:

Then, we solve the expression by variable separation and partial fraction integration:

[tex]\frac{1}{k} \int {\frac{dI}{I\cdot (n-I)} } = \int {dt}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{k\cdot n} \int {\frac{dl}{l} } + \frac{1}{kn}\int {\frac{dI}{n-I} } = \int {dt}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{k\cdot n} \cdot \ln |I| -\frac{1}{k\cdot n}\cdot \ln|n-I| = t + C[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{k\cdot n}\cdot \ln \left|\frac{I}{n-I} \right| = C\cdot e^{k\cdot n \cdot t}[/tex]

[tex]I(t) = \frac{n\cdot C\cdot e^{k\cdot n\cdot t}}{1+C\cdot e^{k\cdot n \cdot t}}[/tex], where [tex]C = \frac{I_{o}}{n}[/tex] (2, 3)

Note - Please notice that [tex]I_{o}[/tex] is the initial infected population.

If we know that [tex]n = 2000[/tex], [tex]k = 0.0001[/tex] and [tex]I_{o} = 20[/tex], then we have the following set of expressions:

[tex]\frac{dI}{dt} = 0.0001\cdot I\cdot (2000-I)[/tex] [tex]\blacksquare[/tex]

[tex]I(0) = \frac{1}{100}[/tex] [tex]\blacksquare[/tex]

[tex]I(t) = \frac{20\cdot e^{\frac{t}{5} }}{1+20\cdot e^{\frac{t}{5} }}[/tex] [tex]\blacksquare[/tex]

Answer:

350 pairs

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of Athletics, Boots, and Dress shoes is 5 to 2 to 3, it means that for every 2 pairs of Boots they have 5 pairs of Athletics shoes and 3 pairs of dress shoes.

So, if they have 70 pairs of boots, we can calculate the number of Athletics as:

[tex]\frac{5*70}{2} =175[/tex]

And if they have 70 pairs of boots, the number of dress shoes are:

[tex]\frac{3*70}{2}=105[/tex]

Finally, they have 70 pairs of boots, 175 pairs of athletics, and 105 pairs of dress shoes. It means that they have 350 pairs in total.

70 + 175 + 105 = 350

=====================================================

Work Shown:

A = mass, in kg, of 1 apple

B = mass, in kg, of 1 empty basket

10A = mass of 10 apples

10A+B = mass of 10 apples and basket = 0.5

35A = mass of 35 apples

35A + B = mass of 35 apples and basket = 1.05

The system of equations we have is

[tex]\begin{cases}10A+B = 0.5\\35A+B = 1.05\end{cases}[/tex]

There are a number of ways to solve. As the top left corner of your paper indicates, we can use a matrix to solve. Either using row reduction or matrix inverse math.

We could also use elimination which I find easiest in this case. I'll use that method. Subtract the equations straight down. Note how the B terms become B-B = 0B = 0 which go away. The A terms become 10A-35A = -25A, and the terms on the right hand side become 0.5-1.05 = -0.55

--------

We're left with the equation

-25A = -0.55

Divide both sides by -25 to isolate A

A = -0.55/(-25)

A = 0.022

The mass of one apple is 0.022 kg

--------

Use this value of A to find B

10A + B = 0.5

10*0.022 + B = 0.5

0.22 + B = 0.5

B = 0.5 - 0.22

B = 0.28

Or we could use the other equation to solve for B

35A + B = 1.05

35(0.022) + B = 1.05

0.77 + B = 1.05

B = 1.05 - 0.77

B = 0.28

Either way, the empty basket's mass is 0.28 kg

Answer:

The answer to your question is x = 4d/t - S1

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

total time = t = 2.75 hours

Initial speed = S1 = 55 mi/h

Final speed = x

distance = d = 60 mi

Formula

speed = distance / time

Average speed = (Initial speed + final speed)/2  or

                          = (S1 + x)/2

Substitution

                             (S1 + x)/2 = 2(d) / t

Solve for x

                             x = (2d/t)2 - S1

Simplification and result

                              x = 4d/t - S1

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Because two sides are congruent, the triangle in the diagram is isosceles which means that angle c = angle e because of the Base Angles Theorem. We know that angle c = 63 degrees because we see that it's vertical to a 63 degree angle, and vertical angles. Since angle c = angle e, angle e = 63 degrees. Since angles e and b form a linear pair, they are supplementary, meaning that they add up to 180 degrees which means that angle b = 180 - 63 = 117 degrees. To find angle d, we notice that d and c are alternate interior angles, and since these angles are congruent in parallel lines, angle d = 63 degrees as well. To find angle a, we know that the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees so angle a = 180 - 63 - 63 = 54 degrees.

The perimeter of rectangle is 28 inches

The formula used to calculate the perimeter of a rectangle is, perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + w), where 'l' is the length and 'w' is the width of the rectangle.

For example

The length of a bedsheet is 120 inches and the width is 85 inches. How much lace will be needed to put around its border?

Given, length = 120 inches; width = 85 inches.

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + w).

On substituting the values of length and width in this formula, we get,

Perimeter = 2(l + w) = 2(120 + 85)= 2 × 205 = 410 inches.

Let he breadth be x

length= x+ 2

Area= Perimeter + 20

x² + 2x =  4x+ 4 + 20

x² - 2x -24  =  0

x² - 2x -24  =  0

(x- 6) (x+ 4)=0

x= 6, -4

So, length= 8 inches and breadth = 6 inches.

Hence, the Perimeter of rectangle= 2( 8 +6)= 2*14= 28 inches

Answer:

[tex]n = \frac{3}{5}[/tex]. Which means that Frank has been travelling out of the town 3 days for each five days.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction ([tex]n[/tex]) is obtained by dividing the number of days that Frank has been out of town (18 days) in the given period (30 days). That is to say:

[tex]n = \frac{t}{T}[/tex]

[tex]t[/tex] - Out-of-the-town period, measured in days.

[tex]T[/tex] - Given period, measured in days.

If [tex]t = 18\,days[/tex] and [tex]T = 30\,days[/tex], then:

[tex]n = \frac{18\,days}{30\,days}[/tex]

[tex]n = \frac{3}{5}[/tex]

Answer:

A 98% confidence interval estimate for the difference in mean speed of the films is [-0.042, 0.222].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Eight samples of each film thickness are manufactured in a pilot production process, and the film speed (in microjoules per square inch) is measured.

For the 25-mil film, the sample data result is: Mean Standard deviation 1.15 0.11 and For the 20-mil film the data yield: Mean Standard deviation 1.06 0.09.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for finding the confidence interval for the difference in population mean is given by;

                     P.Q.  =  [tex]\frac{(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2)-(\mu_1- \mu_2)}{s_p \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2} } }[/tex]  ~  [tex]t__n_1_+_n_2_-_2[/tex]

where, [tex]\bar X_1[/tex] = sample mean speed for the 25-mil film = 1.15

[tex]\bar X_1[/tex] = sample mean speed for the 20-mil film = 1.06

[tex]s_1[/tex] = sample standard deviation for the 25-mil film = 0.11

[tex]s_2[/tex] = sample standard deviation for the 20-mil film = 0.09

[tex]n_1[/tex] = sample of 25-mil film = 8

[tex]n_2[/tex] = sample of 20-mil film = 8

[tex]\mu_1[/tex] = population mean speed for the 25-mil film

[tex]\mu_2[/tex] = population mean speed for the 20-mil film

Also,  [tex]s_p =\sqrt{\frac{(n_1-1)s_1^{2}+ (n_2-1)s_2^{2}}{n_1+n_2-2} }[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{(8-1)\times 0.11^{2}+ (8-1)\times 0.09^{2}}{8+8-2} }[/tex] = 0.1005

Here for constructing a 98% confidence interval we have used a Two-sample t-test statistics because we don't know about population standard deviations.

So, 98% confidence interval for the difference in population means, ([tex]\mu_1-\mu_2[/tex]) is;

P(-2.624 < [tex]t_1_4[/tex] < 2.624) = 0.98  {As the critical value of t at 14 degrees of

                                             freedom are -2.624 & 2.624 with P = 1%}  

P(-2.624 < [tex]\frac{(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2)-(\mu_1- \mu_2)}{s_p \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2} } }[/tex] < 2.624) = 0.98

P( [tex]-2.624 \times {s_p \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2} } }[/tex] < [tex]2.624 \times {s_p \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2} } }[/tex] <  ) = 0.98

 = [-0.042, 0.222]

Therefore, a 98% confidence interval estimate for the difference in mean speed of the films is [-0.042, 0.222].

Since the above interval contains 0; this means that decreasing the thickness of the film doesn't increase the speed of the film.

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a graph which represents f(x).

Interval:[-4,-1]

We have to find the average rate of   change of the function f(x).

From the graph we can see that

f(-4)=-3

f(-1)=3

We know that the average rate of change of the function

Average rate =[tex]\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex]

Using the formula

Average rate of change of f=[tex]\frac{3-(-3)}{-1-(-4)}[/tex]

Average rate of change of f=[tex]\frac{6}{3}=2[/tex]

Answer:

123 Square Feet. Of Paint. Probably gonna take a little more than a sample-size quart, let me know how it turns out.

Step-by-step explanation:

You would need 11*15=165 square feet of paint. BUT

You need 42 less square feet, because there are 2, 7*3=21 square-foot windows.

165-42

The solution to the equation above using three iterations of successive approximation is x = 25/16

The solution of an equation is the true values of the equation

The equation is given as:

[tex]5^{-x} + 7 =2x + 4[/tex]

Equate to 0

[tex]5^{-x} + 7 -2x - 4 = 0[/tex]

Write the equation as a function

[tex]f(x) = 5^{-x} + 7 -2x - 4[/tex]

The equation has a solution only when the function f(x) equals 0.

From the graph, we have:

x = 1.5

So, we have:

[tex]f(1.5) = 5^{-1.5} + 7 -2*1.5 - 4[/tex]

Evaluate

f(1.5) = 0.089

Set x to 1.52 to determine a closer value of f(x) to 0.

[tex]f(1.52) = 5^{-1.52} + 7 -2*1.52 - 4[/tex]

Evaluate

f(1.52) = 0.047

Set x to 1.54 to determine a closer value of f(x) to 0.

[tex]f(1.54) = 5^{-1.54} + 7 -2*1.54 - 4[/tex]

Evaluate

f(1.54) = 0.004

Notice that 0.004 is closer to 0 than 0.047 and 0.089

The closest value to 1.54 is 25/16 in the given options

Hence, the solution to the equation above using three iterations of successive approximation is x = 25/16
