Answer:

A). The distance covered= 5.2752 cm

B). Angle swept = 36°

C). The time = 8:45 am

Step-by-step explanation:

The watch is assumed to be a circle while the minute hand is assumed to be the radius

Radius = 1.4cm

A). From 8:13 to 8:49= 36 minutes

Recall, there is 60 minutes in a round watch.

The distance covered= 2πr*36/60

The distance covered= 2*3.14*1.4*0.6

The distance covered= 5.2752 cm

B). If distance covered is 8.8 mm

8.8 mm = 0.88cm

0.88= 2*3.14*1.4*(x/360)

0.88/(8.792)=x/360

0.1= x/360

0.1= x/360

36°= x

Angle swept = 36°

C). The time it will be if the watch started from 8:39 am and moved 36°

36/360= y/60

0.1= y/60

0.1*60= y

6 minutes= y

The time with be 8:39+6 minutes

The time = 8:45 am

To make f continuous at x=2 , f(2) should be defined as what value? Justify your answer.

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

To make f continuous at $x=2$ , $f(2)$ should be defined $x = 2.$

Step-by-step explanation:

A function, let say $f(x)$ , is defined at $x = c$ is continuous at $x = c$

If the limit of $f(x)$ as $x$ approaches $c$ is equal to the value of $f(x)$ at $x = c$ .

Mathematically it is written as:

if

$\lim _{x\to c}\:f\left(x\right)=f\left(c\right)$

then

$f(x)$ is continuous at $x = c$ .

So from the above definition, we conclude that:

To make f continuous at $x=2$ , $f(2)$ should be defined $x = 2.$

i.e.

if

$\lim _{x\to 2}\:f\left(x\right)=f\left(2\right)$

then

$f(x)$ is continuous at $x = 2$ .

Question 6 The mineral content of a particular brand of supplement pills is normally distributed with mean 490 mg and variance o

AysviL [449]

Answer:

0.3085 = 30.85% probability that a randomly selected pill contains at least 500 mg of minerals

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean 490 mg and variance of 400.

This means that $\mu = 490, \sigma = \sqrt{400} = 20$

What is the probability that a randomly selected pill contains at least 500 mg of minerals?

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 500. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{500 - 490}{20}$

$Z = 0.5$

$Z = 0.5$ has a p-value of 0.6915.

1 - 0.6915 = 0.3085

0.3085 = 30.85% probability that a randomly selected pill contains at least 500 mg of minerals

A rectangular exercise mat has a perimeter of 36 feet. The length of the mat is twice the width. Write and solve an equation to

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answers are:

- Length

$length=2width=12feet$

- Width

$width=6feet$

- Area

$Area=72feet^{2}$

<h2>Why?</h2>

We are given the perimeter of a rectangular mat, and we are asked to find the area, and write an equation to determine the length, if feet, of the mat. To solve this problem we need to remember the equation of the perimeter of a rectangle, which is:

$Perimeter=2length+2width$

Using the given information we have,

$36feet=2length+2width$

Also, we know that the length is twice the width, so:

$length=2width$

Then, substituting the second equation into the first equation, we can find the width of the mat.

Substituting, we have:

$36feet=2(2width)+2width$

$36feet=4width+2width$

$36feet=6width$

$[tex]\frac{36feet}{6} =width$ \\width=\frac{36feet}{6} =6feet[/tex]

Then, substituting the width into the second equation, we can find the length of the mat,

Substituting, we have:

$length=2width$

$length=2(6feet)=12feet$

Then, finding the area, we have:

$A=length*width=12feet*6feet=72feet^{2}$

Have a nice day!
