An object was carefully weighed five times on a multiple-beam balance. The balance was zeroed each time. The masses were: 11.36

g 11.37 g 11.40 g 11.38 g and 11.39 g

Answer:

11.38 g

0.014142

Step-by-step explanation:

part a

Mean = Sum of all results / No. of results

Mean = (11.36 + 11.37 + 11.40 + 11.38 + 11.39) / 5

Mean = 11.38 g = E (X)

part b

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

S.d = sqrt (Var (X))

Compute E (X^2):

E (X^2) = (11.36^2 + 11.37^2 + 11.40^2 + 11.38^2 + 11.39^2) / 5

E (X^2) = 129.5046

(E(X))^2 = 11.38^2 = 129.5044

Var (X) = 129.5046 - 129.5044 = 0.0002

s.d = sqrt (0.0002) = 0.014142

evaluate f(6) and f(6.1) and use the results to approximate f '(6). (round your answer to one decimal place.) f(x) = x(5 − x)
mote1985 [20]
F(6) = 6(5 - 6) = 6(-1) = -6
f(6.1) = 6.1(5 - 6.1) = 6.1(-1.1) = -6.71

f'(6) ≈ (-6.71 - (-6))/(6.1 - 6) = -0.71/0.1 = -7.1

Triangle MNO is an equilateral triangle with sides measuring 16 StartRoot 3 EndRoot units. Triangle M N O is an equilateral tria
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

The correct option is second one i.e 24 units.

Therefore the height of the triangle is

NR=24\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

An equilateral triangle has all sides equal.

ΔMNO is an Equilateral Triangle with sides measuring,

NM = MO = ON =16\sqrt{3}

NR is perpendicular bisector to MO such that

MR=RO=\dfrac{MO}{2}=\dfrac{16\sqrt{3}}{2}=8\sqrt{3} .NR ⊥ Bisector.

To Find:

Height of the triangle = NR = ?

Solution :

Now we have a right angled triangle NRM at ∠R =90°,

So by applying Pythagoras theorem we get

(\textrm{Hypotenuse})^{2} = (\textrm{Shorter leg})^{2}+(\textrm{Longer leg})^{2}

Substituting the values we get

(MN)^{2} = (MR)^{2}+(NR)^{2}\\\\(16\sqrt{3})^{2}=(8\sqrt{3})^{2}+(NR)^{2}\\\\(NR)^{2}=768-192=576\\Square\ rooting\ we\ get\\NR=\sqrt{576}=24\ units

Therefore the height of the triangle is

NR=24\ units

The population of a small town is decreasing exponentially at a rate of 14.3% each year. The current population is 9,400 people.
levacccp [35]

Answer:

After 2.9 years the town's tax status will change

The towns tax status change within the next 3 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The question below is

Will the towns tax status change within the next 3 years ?

Let

y -----> the population of a small town

t ----> the number of years

we have a exponential function of the form

y=a(b)^{t}

where

a is the initial value

b is the base

In this problem

a=9,400\ people

b=100\%-14.3\%=85.7\%=85.7/100=0.857

substitute

y=9,400(0.857)^{t}

Remember that

The town's tax status will change once the population is below 6,000 people

so

The inequality that represent this situation is

9,400(0.857)^{t}< 6,000    

Solve for t

(0.857)^{t}< 6,000/9,400

Apply log both sides

(t)log(0.857)< log(6,000/9,400)

-0.067t< -0.1950

Multiply by -1 both sides

0.067t > 0.1950

t > 2.9\ years

so

After 2.9 years the town's tax status will change

therefore

The answer is

Yes, the towns tax status change within the next 3 years
