Answer:

Slope = rise / run

= -12 / 1500 (It's -12 and not 12 because a drop means it's decreasing)

= -0.008

Use Simpson's Rule with n = 10 to estimate the arc length of the curve. Compare your answer with the value of the integral produ

SOVA2 [1]

$y=\ln(6+x^3)\implies y'=\dfrac{3x^2}{6+x^3}$

The arc length of the curve is

$\displaystyle\int_0^5\sqrt{1+\frac{9x^4}{(6+x^3)^2}}\,\mathrm dx$

which has a value of about 5.99086.

Let $f(x)=\sqrt{1+\frac{9x^4}{(6+x^3)^2}}$ . Split up the interval of integration into 10 subintervals,

[0, 1/2], [1/2, 1], [1, 3/2], ..., [9/2, 5]

The left and right endpoints are given respectively by the sequences,

$\ell_i=\dfrac{i-1}2$

$r_i=\dfrac i2$

with $1\le i\le10$ .

These subintervals have midpoints given by

$m_i=\dfrac{\ell_i+r_i}2=\dfrac{2i-1}4$

Over each subinterval, we approximate $f(x)$ with the quadratic polynomial

$p_i(x)=f(\ell_i)\dfrac{(x-m_i)(x-r_i)}{(\ell_i-m_i)(\ell_i-r_i)}+f(m_i)\dfrac{(x-\ell_i)(x-r_i)}{(m_i-\ell_i)(m_i-r_i)}+f(r_i)\dfrac{(x-\ell_i)(x-m_i)}{(r_i-\ell_i)(r_i-m_i)}$

so that the integral we want to find can be estimated as

$\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{10}\int_{\ell_i}^{r_i}p_i(x)\,\mathrm dx$

It turns out that

$\displaystyle\int_{\ell_i}^{r_i}p_i(x)\,\mathrm dx=\frac{f(\ell_i)+4f(m_i)+f(r_i)}6$

so that the arc length is approximately

$\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{10}\frac{f(\ell_i)+4f(m_i)+f(r_i)}6\approx5.99086$

A food truck operator has traditionally sold 75 bowls of noodle soup each day. He moves to a new location and after a week sees

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

The p-value of the test is 0.031. How should he interpret the p-value as "There is a 96.9% chance that the true mean of soup sales at the new location is greater than 75 bowls a day"

Step-by-step explanation:

P-value"In statistical hypothesis testing, the p-value or probability value is the probability of obtaining test results at least as extreme as the results actually observed during the test, assuming that the null hypothesis is correct"

A 120 watt light bulb uses about 0.1 kilowatt of electricity per hour.if electricity costs $0.20 per kilowatt hour how much does

Ksivusya [100]

A 120 watt light bulb uses about 0.1 kilowatt of electricity per hour.if electricity costs $0.20 per kilowatt hour. Let's solve how much does it cost to have a bulb on for an hour. => 120 watt = 0.1 kilowatt per hour which costs 0.20 per kilowatt per => 0.1 kilowatt per hour * 0.20 = 0.02 dollars in an hour.

The graph of f(x) = 4x3 – 13x2 + 9x + 2 is shown below. On a coordinate plane, a function is shown. The function starts from the

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 4x^3 – 13x^2 + 9x + 2

This looks complicated but all we need to find are the Roots

We are looking for when y=0

So given each part of the information, we can label how many times it happens

The function starts from the bottom of quadrant 3: Starts lower left

and goes up through the x-axis at (0, negative 0.25) : This is ONE ROOT

and then through the y-axis at (0, 2). : It's now on the 2nd quartile

It then starts to curve down at (0.5, 4): It's moving towards y=0

until it reaches (1.75, negative 0.5).: It has now passed y=o and there are TWO ROOTS

It then curves up and crosses the x-axis at (2, 0) and goes up approaching x = 3: It has passed y=0 again, so there are THREE ROOTS

This polynomial function has 3 ROOTS
