Hello,

Let 's a the width,
b the heigth

2a+b=80==>b=80-2a

Area=A(a,b)=a*b=a*(80-2a)
=-2a²+80a
=-2(a²-2*20a+20²-20²)
=-2(a-20)² +800
Area is maxi if a=20 and area max=800

Model Exponential Growth Question :A sample of bacteria is growing at a continuously compounding rate. The sample triples in 10

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The number of bacteria $B$ after $d$ days is given by

$B = B_0 (3)^{\frac{1}{10} d}$

where $B_0$ is the initial number of bacteria.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of bacteria $B$ in the sample triples every 10 days, this means after the first 10th day, the number of bacteria is

$B = B_0 *3,$

where $B_0$ is the initial number of bacteria in the sample.

After the 2nd 10th days, the number of bacteria is

$B = (B_0 *3)*3$

after the 3rd day,

$B =( B_0 *3*3)*3$

and so on.

Thus, the formula we get for the number of bacteria after the <em>n</em>th 10-days is

$B = B_0 (3)^n$

where $n$ is is the <em>n</em>th 10-days.

Since, $n$ is 10 days, we have

$d =10n$

or

$n =\dfrac{1}{10}$

Substituting that into $B = B_0 (3)^n$ , we get:

$\boxed{ B = B_0 (3)^{\frac{1}{10} d}}$

In the roof truss, line BG bisects ∠ABC and ∠DEF, m∠ABC= 112°, and ∠ABC≅∠DEF.

Dennis_Churaev [7]

In the given diagram, line BG bisects ∠ABC and ∠DEF, m∠ABC= 112°, and ∠ABC≅∠DEF. So the measure of angles are :

1. m∠DEF= 112° because ∠ABC≅∠DEF

2. m∠ABG= 56° because a straight line BG is bisecting ∠ABC in two equal parts. So, $\frac{112}{2} = 56$

3. m∠CBG= 56° because ∠ABG and ∠CBG are equal.

4. m∠DEG= 56° because ∠ABG ≅ ∠DEG

Answer:

(C) The slope of the regression equation is not significantly different from zero

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's suppose that we have the following linear model:

$y= \beta_o +\beta_1 X$

Where Y is the dependent variable and X the independent variable. $\beta_0$ represent the intercept and $\beta_1$ the slope.

In order to estimate the coefficients $\beta_0 ,\beta_1$ we can use least squares estimation.

If we are interested in analyze if we have a significant relationship between the dependent and the independent variable we can use the following system of hypothesis:

Null Hypothesis: $\beta_1 = 0$

Alternative hypothesis: $\beta_1 \neq 0$

Or in other wouds we want to check is our slope is significant.

In order to conduct this test we are assuming the following conditions:

a) We have linear relationship between Y and X

b) We have the same probability distribution for the variable Y with the same deviation for each value of the independent variable

c) We assume that the Y values are independent and the distribution of Y is normal

The significance level is provided and on this case is $\alpha=0.05$

The standard error for the slope is given by this formula:

$SE_{\beta_1}=\frac{\sqrt{\frac{\sum (y_i -\hat y_i)^2}{n-2}}}{\sqrt{\sum (X_i -\bar X)^2}}$

Th degrees of freedom for a linear regression is given by $df=n-2$ since we need to estimate the value for the slope and the intercept.

In order to test the hypothesis the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\hat \beta_1}{SE_{\beta_1}}$

The confidence interval for the slope would be given by this formula:

$\hat \beta_1 + t_{n-2, \alpha/2} \frac{\sqrt{\frac{\sum (y_i -\hat y_i)^2}{n-2}}}{\sqrt{\sum (X_i -\bar X)^2}}$

And using the last formula we got that the confidence interval for the slope coefficient is given by:

$-0.88 < \beta_1$

IF we analyze the confidence interval contains the value 0. So we can conclude that we don't have a significant effect of the slope on this case at 5% of significance. And the best option would be:

(C) The slope of the regression equation is not significantly different from zero
