Answer: Laura cannot find the number, as explained below.
Explanation:
1) The question is aimed to determine the number that Laura is trying to come up with.
Such question is solved by stating an algebraic equation from the word statement, which is done step by step.
2) Using the name x for the unknown, the expression "three less than 8 times the number" is translated to: 8x - 3
3) The expression "half of 16 times the number after it was increased by 1" is translated to: (1/2) (16x + 1)
4) Finally, since they are equal, you can set the equation:
8x - 3 = (1/2) (16x + 1)
5) And solve for x in this way:
i) Distributive property:
8x - 3 = 8x + 1/2
ii) At this stage you can see that the both 8x terms (on the left and on the right) cancel each other, which leads to the impossibility to determine the value of the unknown:
-3 = 1/2 which is alwasy false, meaning that the equation has no solution.
The rate of change of the risk of down syndrome (in percentage of births per year) is
r(x) = 0.004641x² - 0.3012x + 4.9, 20≤ x ≤ 45
where
x = maternal age at delivery.
The function giving risk as a percentage of births when maternal age is x is the integral of r(x). That is,
f(x) = 0.001547x³ - 0.1506x² +4.9x + c
When x = 30, f = 0.14%. Therefore
0.001547(30³) - 0.1506(30²) + 4.9(30) + c = 0.14
41.769 - 135.54 + 147 + c = 0.14
c = -53.089
Answer:
f(x) = 0.001547x³ - 0.1506x² + 4.9x - 53.089, 20 ≤ x ≤ 45
The function is graphed as shown below.
Answer:97 rods
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of steel rods for 95% confidence level


E=3

Substituting values


Thus 97 rods is tested
Brett makes $510
First you’ll have to multiply $500 by 0.020 (you have to convert 20%) and you’ll get 10. You then add the 10 to 500 to get $510
Answer:
(a) 4.98x10⁻⁵
(b) 7.89x10⁻⁶
(c) 1.89x10⁻⁴
(d) 0.5
(e) 2.9x10⁻²
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability (P) to find the particle is given by:
(1)
The solution of the intregral of equation (1) is:
(a) The probability to find the particle between x = 4.95 nm and 5.05 nm is:
(b) The probability to find the particle between x = 1.95 nm and 2.05 nm is:
(c) The probability to find the particle between x = 9.90 nm and 10.00 nm is:
(d) The probability to find the particle in the right half of the box, that is to say, between x = 0 nm and 50 nm is:
![P=\frac{2}{100} [\frac{X}{2} - \frac{Sin(2\pi x/100)}{4\pi /100}]|_{0}^{50.00} = 0.5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20P%3D%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B100%7D%20%5B%5Cfrac%7BX%7D%7B2%7D%20-%20%5Cfrac%7BSin%282%5Cpi%20x%2F100%29%7D%7B4%5Cpi%20%2F100%7D%5D%7C_%7B0%7D%5E%7B50.00%7D%20%3D%200.5%20)
(e) The probability to find the particle in the central third of the box, that is to say, between x = 0 nm and 100/6 nm is:
