Answer:

There were 550 students in the school in the year 1995

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, given the exponential equation, we are asked to calculate the number of students in a particular year.

The exponential equation expected to be used is given as;

P(t) = 550(1.12)^t

Now we are told that t is the number of years since 1995 and we are told to calculate the number of students in that same year 1995. Thus, the value of t would be 1995-1995 = 0

We substitute this value of t into the equation;

P(0) = 550(1.12)^0

Since anything raised to the power of zero is 1, then ;

P(0) = 550 * 1 = 550

A sailboat is sitting at rest near its dock. A rope attached to the bow of the boat is drawn in over a pulley that stands on a p
irina [24]

Answer:

The boat is approaching the dock at rate of 2.14 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The situation given in the question can be modeled as a triangle, please refer to the attached diagram.

A rope attached to the bow of the boat is drawn in over a pulley that stands on a post on the end of the dock that is 5 feet higher than the bow that means x = 5 ft.

The length of rope from bow to pulley is 13 feet that means y = 13 ft.

We know that Pythagorean theorem is given by

x^{2} + y^{2} = z^{2}

Differentiating the above equation with respect to time yields,

2x\frac{dx}{dt}  + 2y\frac{dy}{dt} = 2z\frac{dz}{dt}

x\frac{dx}{dt}  + y\frac{dy}{dt} = z\frac{dz}{dt}

dx/dt = 0  since dock height doesn't change

y\frac{dy}{dt} = z\frac{dz}{dt}

\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{z}{y} \frac{dz}{dt}

The rope is being pulled in at a rate of 2 feet per second that is dz/dt = 2 ft/s

First we need to find z

z² = (5)² + (13)²

z² = 194

z = √194

z = 13.93 ft

So,

\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{z}{y} \frac{dz}{dt}

\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{13.93}{13}(2)

\frac{dy}{dt} = 2.14 ft/s

Therefore, the boat is approaching the dock at rate of 2.14 ft/s

The points plotted below are on the graph of a polynomial. In what range of x-values must the polynomial have a root?
joja [24]

Actually, I think the question should be, "In what range(s) of x-values must there be a root of the POLYNOMIAL?" Unless you are working with some real strange maths, polynomials are smooth and continuous. If you drew a smooth and continuous line through the points in the graph, where would the line have to cross the x-axis?

MAVERICK [17]
The median of a set of data is obtained by arranging the data from lowest to highest. In this pop quiz scores, the arrangements is as follows:

110, 125, 138, 144, 152, 153, 162, 163, 164, 174, 174, 175, 177, 180, 183, 185, 186, 187, 194, 195, 196, 198. 

There are 22 items in the list and the median is located in the middle position. In this case, it is the average of 174 (11th) and 175 (12th). Thus, the median is 174.5.

Hypothesis Test Results

μ : Mean of variable      

H₀ : μ=2.7 miles

HA  : μ >2.7 miles

Variable     Sample Mean      Std. Err.        DF           T-Stat            P-value

Length            3.23601        0.285185      499        2.230166        0.0131

Step-by-step explanation:

From the result obtained, we have;

Null hypothesis:   H₀ : μ=2.7 miles

Alternative hypothesis:   HA  : μ >2.7 miles

Test statistics = 2.230166

P-value =  0.0131

Significant level: α = 0.05

Since the P value is less than the significance level, we can reject the null hypothesis.

There is no sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean tornado length is greater than 2.7 miles
