He rounded 336 to 340 and 287 to 290. Then he subtracted 290 from 340, that's how he got 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of muffins Diana sold at the bake sale = 336

Number of muffins Bob sold at the bake sale = 287

Now, here we are using the method of estimation i.e. rounding the integers to nearest ones.

By estimation, we get

Number of muffins Diana sold at the bake sale = 340

Number of muffins Bob sold at the bake sale = 290

So,

Difference between them is given by

$340-290\\=50$

Hence, Bob sold 50 fewer muffins than Diana.

Consider the incomplete paragraph proof. Given: Isosceles right triangle XYZ (45°–45°–90° triangle) Prove: In a 45°–45°–90° tria

Answer:

(C)Determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Isosceles right triangle XYZ (45°–45°–90° triangle)

To Prove: In a 45°–45°–90° triangle, the hypotenuse is $\sqrt{2}$ times the length of each leg.

Proof:

$\angle XYZ$ is 90^\circ$ and the other 2 angles are 45^\circ. \\\overline{XY} = a, \overline{YZ}= a, \overline{XZ}= c.\\$

Because triangle XYZ is a right triangle, the side lengths must satisfy the Pythagorean theorem, $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$

Since a=b in an isosceles triangle:

$a^2 + a^2 = c^2\\$Combining like terms\\2a^2 = c^2\\$Determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation.\\\sqrt{c^2}=\sqrt{2a^2} \\\\c=a\sqrt{2} \\$

Therefore, the next step is to Determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation.

A product is composed of four parts. In order for the product to function properly in a given situation, each of the parts must

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

P(working product) = .99*.99*.96*.96 = .0.903

Step-by-step explanation:

For the product to work, all four probabilities must come to pass, so that

P(Part-1)*P(Part-2)*P(Part-3)*P(Part-4)

where

P(Part-1) = 0.96

P(Part-2) = 0.96

P(Part-3) = 0.99

P(Part-4) = 0.99

As all parts are independent, so the formula is P(A∩B) = P(A)*P(B)

P (Working Product) = P(Part-1)*P(Part-2)*P(Part-3)*P(Part-4)

P (Working Product) = 0.96*0.96*0.96*0.99*0.99

P(Working Product) = 0.903

A flat circular plate has the shape of the region x squared plus y squared less than or equals 1x2+y2≤1. the plate, including t

vredina [299]

You're looking for the extreme values of $x^2+3y^2+13x$ subject to the constraint $x^2+y^2\le1$ .

The target function has partial derivatives (set equal to 0)

$\dfrac{\partial(x^2+3y^2+13x)}{\partial x}=2x+13=0\implies x=-\dfrac{13}2$

$\dfrac{\partial(x^2+3y^2+13x)}{\partial y}=6y=0\implies y=0$

so there is only one critical point at $\left(-\dfrac{13}2,0\right)$ . But this point does not fall in the region $x^2+y^2\le1$ . There are no extreme values in the region of interest, so we check the boundary.

Parameterize the boundary of $x^2+y^2\le1$ by

$x=\cos u$

$y=\sin u$

with $0\le u$ . Then $t(x,y)$ can be considered a function of $u$ alone:

$t(x,y)=t(\cos u,\sin u)=T(u)$

$T(u)=\cos^2u+3\sin^2u+13\cos u$

$T(u)=3+13\cos u-2\cos^2u$

$T(u)$ has critical points where $T'(u)=0$ :

$T'(u)=-13\sin u+4\sin u\cos u=\sin u(4\cos u-13)=0$

$(1)\quad\sin u=0\implies u=0,u=\pi$

$(2)\quad4\cos u-13=0\implies\cos u=\dfrac{13}4$

but $|\cos u|\le1$ for all $u$ , so this case yields nothing important.

At these critical points, we have temperatures of

$T(0)=14$

$T(\pi)=-12$

so the plate is hottest at (1, 0) with a temperature of 14 (degrees?) and coldest at (-1, 0) with a temp of -12.
