A cube has an edge of 2 feet. The edge is increasing at the rate of 5 feet per minute. Express the volume of the cube as a funct

Answer:

$V(m) = (2 + 5m)^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Solid Shape = Cube

Edge = 2 feet

Increment = 5 feet per minute

Required

Determine volume as a function of minute

From the question, we have that the edge of the cube increases in a minute by 5 feet

<em>This implies that,the edge will increase by 5m feet in m minutes;</em>

Hence,

$New\ Edge = 2 + 5m$

Volume of a cube is calculated as thus;

$Volume = Edge^3$

Substitute 2 + 5m for Edge

$Volume = (2 + 5m)^3$

Represent Volume as a function of m

$V(m) = (2 + 5m)^3$

A sample of 1714 cultures from individuals in Florida diagnosed with a strep infection was tested for resistance to the antibiot

Damm [24]

Answer:

a) $p$ represent the real population proportion of people who showed partial or complete resistance to the antibiotic

b) $\hat p=\frac{973}{1714}=0.568$ represent the estimated proportion of people who showed partial or complete resistance to the antibiotic

c) We are confident (95%) that the true proportion of individuals in Florida diagnosed with a strep infection was tested for resistance to the antibiotic penicillin present partial or complete resistance to the antibiotic is between 54.5% to 59.1%.

Step-by-step explanation:

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Part a

Description in words of the parameter p

$p$ represent the real population proportion of people who showed partial or complete resistance to the antibiotic

$\hat p$ represent the estimated proportion of people who showed partial or complete resistance to the antibiotic

n=1714 is the sample size required

$z_{\alpha/2}$ represent the critical value for the margin of error

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

Part b

Numerical estimate for p

In order to estimate a proportion we use this formula:

$\hat p =\frac{X}{n}$ where X represent the number of people with a characteristic and n the total sample size selected.

$\hat p=\frac{973}{1714}=0.568$ represent the estimated proportion of people who showed partial or complete resistance to the antibiotic

Part c

The confidence interval for a proportion is given by this formula

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

For the 95% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2=0.025$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

$0.568 - 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.568(1-0.568)}{1714}}=0.545$

$0.568 + 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.56(1-0.56)}{1714}}=0.591$

And the 95% confidence interval would be given (0.545;0.591).

We are confident that about 54.5% to 59.1% of individuals in Florida diagnosed with a strep infection was tested for resistance to the antibiotic penicillin present partial or complete resistance to the antibiotic.

Milton spilled some ink on his homework paper. He can't read the coefficient of $x$, but he knows that the equation has two dist

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

$Sum = -81$

Step-by-step explanation:

See the comment for complete question.

Given

$c = 36$ ----- Constant

No coefficient of x^2

Required:

Determine the sum of all distinct positive integers of the coefficient of x

Reading through the complete question, we can see that the question has 3 terms which are:

x^2 ---- with no coefficient

x ---- with an unknown coefficient

36 ---- constant

So, the equation can be represented as:

$x^2 + ax + 36 = 0$

Where a is the unknown coefficient

From the question, we understand that the equation has two negative integer solution. This can be represented as:

$x = -\alpha$ and $x = -\beta$

Using the above roots, the equation can be represented as:

$(x + \alpha)(x + \beta) = 0$

Open brackets

$x^2 + (\alpha + \beta)x + \alpha \beta = 0$

To compare the above equation to $x^2 + ax + 36 = 0$ , we have:

$a = \alpha + \beta$

$\alpha \beta = 36$

Where: $\alpha, \beta$ and $\alpha \ne \beta$

The values of $\alpha$ and $\beta$ that satisfy $\alpha \beta = 36$ are:

$\alpha = -1$ and $\beta = -36$

$\alpha = -2$ and $\beta = -18$

$\alpha = -3$ and $\beta = -12$

$\alpha = -4$ and $\beta = -9$

So, the possible values of a are:

$a = \alpha + \beta$

When $\alpha = -1$ and $\beta = -36$

$a = -1 - 36 = -37$

When $\alpha = -2$ and $\beta = -18$

$a = -2 - 18 = -20$

When $\alpha = -3$ and $\beta = -12$

$a = -3 - 12 = -15$

When $\alpha = -4$ and $\beta = -9$

$a = -4 - 9 = -13$

At this point, we have established that the possible values of a are: -37, -20, -15 and -9.

The required sum is:

$Sum = -37 -20 -15 - 9$

$Sum = -81$

What is a21 of the arithmetic sequence for which a7=−19 and a10=−28? A. -35 B. 35 C. -58 D. -61

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

a21 = -61

Step-by-step explanation:

$a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)d$

$-19=a_{1}+(7-1)d$

$-28=a_{1}+(10-1)d$ (subtract to eliminate a₁)

9 = -3d

d = -3

-19 = a₁ + (6)(-3)

-1 = a

a21 = -1 + (21 - 1)(-3)

= -61
