Answer:

W_s \approx5.3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

Height H=3.5ft

Weight W= 6ft

Depth  D=0.95ft

Generally the equation for ellipses is given as

\frac{x^2}{a^2} +\frac{y^2}{b^2} =1

Where

b=H/2\\b=3.5/2\\Therefore\\b=1.75\\a=W/2\\a=6/2\\Therefore\\a=3\\

\frac{x^2}{3^2} +\frac{y^2}{1.75^2} =1

Generally to find y in the equation \frac{x^2}{a^2} +\frac{y^2}{b^2} =1

y=-b+d

y=-1.75+0.95

y=-0.8

Therefore

\frac{x^2}{3^2} +\frac{(0.8)^2}{1.75^2} =1

\frac{x^2}{3^2} =1-\frac{(0.8)^2}{1.75^2}

\frac{x^2}{3^2} =1-0.2089795918

X^2 =3^2(1-0.2089795918)

X^2 =7.119183674

X =\sqrt{7.119183674}

X =2.66817984

Therefore the width of the given stream is

W_s=2.66817984*2

W_s=5.33635968

W_s \approx5.3

Find the annual rate of growth (interest rate) on an account that was worth $200 in 1975 and $415.79 in 1990
kodGreya [7K]

The percent change from one period to another is calculated from the formula:

<span><span> Where:<span>PR = Percent Rate
VPresent = Present or Future Value
VPast = Past or Present Value</span></span><span>The annual percentage growth rate is simply the percent growth divided by N, the number of years.</span>
(415.79-200)/200*100=107.89
The annual<span> percentage growth rate is simply the percent growth divided by N, the number of years.</span>
<span>
</span><span>107.89/15=7.193</span>

prohojiy [21]

I'll solve for y xy+(4(20))>x-5y(2+9-7) 

xy+4(20)>x-5y(2+9-7) 

xy+4(20)>x-5y(4) 

xy+4(20)>x-20y 

xy+80>x-20y 

xy+20y+80>x 

y(x+20)>-80+x 

y>(-80+x)/(x+20)

Mr. Malloy wants to make sure Amo and Javier get the best possible grade after five tests and can either give a grade based on t
joja [24]
The data has been properly arranged in tabular form and is shown below in the image.

First we need to find the mean and median of scores of both students.

1) For Amo:
Mean = \frac{97+92+89+55+90}{5}=84.6
Median = Middle Value when data is arranged in ascending order = 90

2) For Javier:
Mean =\frac{68+97+65+92+95}{5}=83.4
Median = Middle Value when data is arranged in ascending order = 92

For both the students, value of Median is larger then the mean. So in order to give the best possible grade Mr. Malloy should use the median score for both students.
