Answer:

Benito's error was using the equal sign (=) instead of the congruency symbol (≅).

Explanation:

Benito's error was using the equal sign (=) instead of the congruency symbol (≅).

The congruency symbol (≅) means that the elements (segments, angles or figures in general) have the same measure, i.e. they have equal lengths for the segments or equal measure for the angles.

For instance, it is an error saying that the segment AB is equal to the segment BC because, as you clearly see in the picture, they are not same; they have the same length but they are joining different points, that makes them different in essence, although they have the same length. They would be equal only if they are the same figure.

In mathematics, you must not say that two different segments or two different angles are equal but they are congruent, which means that their lengths are equal. The use of equal is reserved for numbers and variables, not for figures like segment, points, angles, polygons.

A homemade lip balm consists of coconut oil and beeswax. Coconut oil costs $0.50 per ounce and beeswax costs $2.00 per ounce. If

Alika [10]

Let

a--------> the total cost in dollars of $6$ ounces of coconut oil

b--------> the total cost in dollars of $5$ ounces of beeswax

we know that

$a=0.50 \frac{\$}{ounce}*6=\$3$

$b=2.00 \frac{\$}{ounce}*5=\$10$

therefore

the answer is

the total cost in dollars of $6$ ounces of coconut oil is $a=\$3$

the total cost in dollars of $5$ ounces ofbeeswax is $b=\$10$

Use Stokes' Theorem to evaluate S curl F · dS. F(x, y, z) = x2 sin(z)i + y2j + xyk, S is the part of the paraboloid z = 9 − x2 −

Korolek [52]

The vector field

$\vec F(x,y,z)=x^2\sin z\,\vec\imath+y^2\,\vec\jmath+xy\,\vec k$

has curl

$\nabla\times\vec F(x,y,z)=x\,\vec\imath+(x^2\cos z-y)\,\vec\jmath$

Parameterize $S$ by

$\vec s(u,v)=x(u,v)\,\vec\imath+y(u,v)\,\vec\jmath+z(u,v)\,\vec k$

where

$\begin{cases}x(u,v)=u\cos v\\y(u,v)=u\sin v\\z(u,v)=(9-u^2)\end{cases}$

with $0\le u\le3$ and $0\le v\le2\pi$ .

Take the normal vector to $S$ to be

$\dfrac{\partial\vec s}{\partial u}\times\dfrac{\partial\vec s}{\partial v}=2u^2\cos v\,\vec\imath+2u^2\sin v\,\vec\jmath+u\,\vec k$

Then by Stokes' theorem we have

$\displaystyle\int_{\partial S}\vec F\cdot\mathrm d\vec r=\iint_S(\nabla\times\vec F)\cdot\mathrm d\vec S$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^{2\pi}\int_0^3(\nabla\times\vec F)(\vec s(u,v))\cdot\left(\dfrac{\partial\vec s}{\partial u}\times\dfrac{\partial\vec s}{\partial v}\right)\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^{2\pi}\int_0^3u^3(2u\cos^3v\sin(u^2-9)+\cos^3v\sin v+2u\sin^3v+\cos v\sin^3v)\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv$

which has a value of 0, since each component integral is 0:

$\displaystyle\int_0^{2\pi}\cos^3v\,\mathrm dv=0$

$\displaystyle\int_0^{2\pi}\sin v\cos^3v\,\mathrm dv=0$

$\displaystyle\int_0^{2\pi}\sin^3v\,\mathrm dv=0$

$\displaystyle\int_0^{2\pi}\cos v\sin^3v\,\mathrm dv=0$

Suppose that the terminal point determined by t is the point 12 13 , 5 13 on the unit circle. Find the terminal point determined

Tom [10]

Answer:

(a) (-12/13, 5/13)

(b) (12/13, -5/13)

(d) (12/13, 5/13)

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The terminal point is effectively reflected across the y-axis, so the sign of the x-coordinate changes. (-12/13, 5/13)

(b) The terminal point is effectively reflected across the x-axis, so the sign of the y-coordinate changes. (12/13, -5/13)

(c) The terminal point is effectively reflected across the origin, so the signs of both coordinates change. (-12/13, -5/13)

(d) The terminal point is mapped to itself, so its coordinates remain unchanged. (12/13, 5/13)

We're testing the hypothesis that the average boy walks at 18 months of age (H0: p = 18). We assume that the ages at which boys

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

II. This finding is significant for a two-tailed test at .01.

III. This finding is significant for a one-tailed test at .01.

d. II and III only

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

$\bar X=19.2$ represent the battery life sample mean

$\sigma=2.5$ represent the population standard deviation

$n=25$ sample size

$\mu_o =18$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

2) State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean battery life is equal to 18 or not for parta I and II:

Null hypothesis: $\mu = 18$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 18$

And for part III we have a one tailed test with the following hypothesis:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \leq 18$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu > 18$

Since we know the population deviation, is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

3) Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$z=\frac{19.2-18}{\frac{2.5}{\sqrt{25}}}=2.4$
