Answer: There are 89 left handed students in school.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number of girls = 320

Total number of boys = 250

Probability that a girl is left hand = 0.2

Probability that a boy is left handed = 0.1

We need to find the number of left handed students in school.

\dfrac{\text{Number of left handed students in school}}{\text{Total number of boys }}=0.1\\\\\dfrac{\text{Number of left handed students in school}}{250}=0.1\\\\\text{Number of left handed students in school}=0.1\times 250\\\\\text{Number of left handed students in school}=25

Similarly,

\dfrac{\text{Number of left handed students in school}}{\text{Total number of girls }}=0.2\\\\\dfrac{\text{Number of left handed students in school}}{320}=0.2\\\\\text{Number of left handed students in school}=0.2\times 320\\\\\text{Number of left handed students in school}=64

Hence, there are 25+64=89 left handed students in school.

Find the number a such that the line x = a bisects the area under the curve y = 1/x2 for 1 ≤ x ≤ 4. 8 5​ (b) find the number b s
IceJOKER [234]

a. We're looking for a such that

\displaystyle\int_1^a\frac{\mathrm dx}{x^2}=\int_a^4\frac{\mathrm dx}{x^2}

-\dfrac1x\bigg|_{x=1}^{x=a}=-\dfrac1x\bigg|_{x=a}^{x=4}

1-\dfrac1a=\dfrac1a-\dfrac14

\dfrac54=\dfrac2a\implies\boxed{a=\dfrac85}

b. Integrating with respect to y will make things easier.

y=\dfrac1{x^2}\implies x=\dfrac1{\sqrt y}

(where we take the positive square root because we know x>0)

Now we want to find b such that

\displaystyle\int_0^b\frac{\mathrm dy}{\sqrt y}=\int_b^1\frac{\mathrm dy}{\sqrt y}

2\sqrt y\bigg|_{y=0}^{y=b}=2\sqrt y\bigg|_{y=b}^{b=1}

2\sqrt b=2-2\sqrt b

4\sqrt b=2\implies\boxed{b=\dfrac14}

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

$95.78

Step-by-step explanation:

f(t) = 300t / (2t² + 8)

t = 0 corresponds to the beginning of August.  t = 1 corresponds to the end of August.  t = 2 corresponds to the end of September.  So on and so forth.  So the second semester is from t = 5 to t = 10.

$T₂ = ∫₅¹⁰ 300t / (2t² + 8) dt

$T₂ = ∫₅¹⁰ 150t / (t² + 4) dt

$T₂ = 75 ∫₅¹⁰ 2t / (t² + 4) dt

$T₂ = 75 ln(t² + 4) |₅¹⁰

$T₂ = 75 ln(104) − 75 ln(29)

$T₂ ≈ 95.78

A furnace used 40% of the fuel in its tank in the month of March and then used 25% of the remaining fuel in the month of April.
gtnhenbr [62]
March: 240 * 0.4 = 96 used
240 - 96 = 144 remains in the tank

April : 144 * 0.25 = 36 used
144 - 36 = 108 remains in tank

answer: 108 gallons left at the end of April
