Between 0 degrees Celsius and 30 degrees Celsius, the volume V (in cubic centimeters) of 1 kg of water at a temperature T is giv

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

T = 3.967 C

Step-by-step explanation:

Density = mass / volume

Use the mass = 1kg and volume as the equation given V, we will come up with the following equation

D = 1 / 999.87−0.06426T+0.0085043T^2−0.0000679T^3

= (999.87−0.06426T+0.0085043T^2−0.0000679T^3)^-1

Find the first derivative of D with respect to temperature T

dD/dT = $\dfrac{70000000\left(291T^2-24298T+91800\right)}{\left(679T^3-85043T^2+642600T-9998700000\right)^2}$

Let dD/dT = 0 to find the critical value we will get

$\dfrac{70000000\left(291T^2-24298T+91800\right)}$ = 0

Using formula of quadratic, we get the roots:

T = 79.53 and T = 3.967

Since the temperature is only between 0 and 30, pick T = 3.967

Find 2nd derivative to check whether the equation will have maximum value:

$-\dfrac{140000000\left(395178T^4-65993368T^3+3286558821T^2+2886200857800T-121415215620000\right)}{\left(679T^3-85043T^2+642600T-9998700000\right)^3}$

Substituting the value with T=3.967,

d2D/dT2 = -1.54 x 10^(-8) a negative value. Hence It is a maximum value

Substitute T =3.967 into equation V, we get V = 0.001 i.e. the volume when the the density is the highest is at 0.001 m3 with density of

D = 1/0.001 = 1000 kg/m3

Therefore T = 3.967 C

Jackson goes to the gym 0, 2, or 3 days per week, depending on work demands. The expected value of the number of days per week t

valina [46]

For a probability distribution the expected value is the summation of product of probabilities with their respective data values. Let x be the probability that Jackson goes gym for 2 days and y be the probability that he goes gym for 3 days.

For the given case we have following values and their probabilities:

0 : 0.1

2 : x

3 : y

So the expected value will be = 0(0.1) + 2(x) + 3(y)

Expected value is given to be 2.05. So we can write the equation as:

2x + 3y = 2.05 (Equation 1)

Also for a probability distribution, the sum of probabilities must always equal to 1. So we can set up the second equation as:

0.1 + x + y = 1

x + y = 0.9 (Equation 2)

From Equation 2 we can write the value of x to be x = 0.9 - y. Using this value in equation 1, we get:

2(0.9 - y) + 3y = 2.05

1.8 - 2y + 3y = 2.05

1.8 + y = 2.05

y = 0.25

Using the value of y in equation 2 we get value of x to be 0.65

Therefore we can conclude that:

The probability that Jackson goes to gym for 2 days is 0.65 and the probability that he goes to gym for 3 days is 0.25

Noor brought 212121 sheets of stickers. She gave \dfrac{1}{3} 3 1 start fraction, 1, divided by, 3, end fraction of a sheet to

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

12 teachers will get 1/2 sheets each

Step-by-step explanation:

Noor bought 21 sheets of stickers

She gave 1/3 sheets to each 45 students

She wants to give teachers 1/2 of sheets

The question should be: how many teachers will she give

Total sheets=21

Students gets= 1/3 × 45

=45/3

=15 sheets

Remaining sheet= total sheets - students sheets

=21-15

=6 sheets

There are 6 sheets remaining for teachers

She wants to give 1/2 to each teacher

Then,

The number of teachers that will get =Remaining sheets ÷ each teacher's share

=6 ÷1/2

=6 × 2/1

=12 teachers

12 teachers will get 1/2 sheets each
