Answer: the cubic equation is

L^3 - 52L +144 =0

Lenght= 4inches

Width = 2inches

Height = 3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the lenght= L

Let the width = W

Let the height = H

Volume of the box = 24 cubic inch

Total surface area of the box = 52 sq. Inches

W = L/2

W, = 0.5L

Volume = L * B * H

Insert W = 0.5L

L * 0.5L * H = 24

0.5L^2 * H = 24

H = 24/0.5L^2

= 48/L^2

Surface area equation

2(L*W) + 2(L+H) + 2(W+H)= 52

Divide through by 2

(L*W) + (L+H) + (W*H) = 26

Insert W= 0.5L

(L*0.5L) + (L*H) + (0.5L*H) = 26

0.5L^2 + LH + 0.5LH = 26

0.5L^2 + 1.5LH = 26

Insert H = 48/L^2

0.5L^2 + 1.5*48/L = 26

0.5L^2 + 72/L = 26

Multiply through by L to get rid of the denominator

0.5L^3 + 72 - 26L = 0

0.5L^3 - 26L + 72 = 0

Multiply through by 2, we have

L^3 - 52L +144 =0

Try L= 4

4*3 -52(4)+ 144 =0

0= 0

(L - 4) is a factor of cubic equation

Therefore Length (L) = 4 inch

Recall that W= L/2

W= 4/2

W= 2 inches

H= 48/L*2

= 48/4*2

= 48/16

= 3 inches

Logan can read at a rate of 2/3 page per minute. At that rate, how many pages can he read in 2 hours?
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

240- 360

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to find out how many minutes in an hour which is 60. Then multiply it by 2 for 2 hours to get 120. Then you multiply 2x120 to get 240. Then you multiply 3x120 to get 360.

I'm not sure if this is correct but this is how I would go about it. :)

The 3rd degree Taylor polynomial for cos(x) centered at a = π 2 is given by, cos(x) = − (x − π/2) + 1/6 (x − π/2)3 + R3(x). Usin
Otrada [13]

Answer:

The cosine of 86º is approximately 0.06976.

Step-by-step explanation:

The third degree Taylor polynomial for the cosine function centered at a = \frac{\pi}{2} is:

\cos x \approx -\left(x-\frac{\pi}{2} \right)+\frac{1}{6}\cdot \left(x-\frac{\pi}{2} \right)^{3}

The value of 86º in radians is:

86^{\circ} = \frac{86^{\circ}}{180^{\circ}}\times \pi

86^{\circ} = \frac{43}{90}\pi\,rad

Then, the cosine of 86º is:

\cos 86^{\circ} \approx -\left(\frac{43}{90}\pi-\frac{\pi}{2}\right)+\frac{1}{6}\cdot \left(\frac{43}{90}\pi-\frac{\pi}{2}\right)^{3}

\cos 86^{\circ} \approx 0.06976

The cosine of 86º is approximately 0.06976.

3 x 1/6 in simplest form
Travka [436]
Im not sure but i thing its 0.5 or 1/2
cause if you take (3/1)*(1/6) that's what you will get
also you had to make 3 as a fraction so you would put the denominator as 1 so if you divide 1 and 3 you would still get the whole number as 3

The mean hourly wage for employees in goods-producing industries is currently $24.57 (Bureau of Labor Statistics website, April,
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

a. H_{0}: μ = $24.57

H_{a}: μ ≠ $24.57

b. 0.12

c. we fail to reject the null hypothesis since p ≈0.12 > 0.05

d. we fail to reject the null hypothesis since z ≈-1.6 > -1.96

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

H_{0}: μ = $24.57

H_{a}: μ ≠ $24.57

b)

To compute p value, we need to calculate z-score of $23.89 per hour. in the distribution assumed under null hypothesis

z-score can be calculated as follows:

\frac{X-M}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{N} } } where

  • X= $23.89
  • M is the mean value under null hypothesis ( $24.57)
  • s is the sample standard deviation ($2.40)
  • N is the sample size (30)

Putting the numbers in the formula we get

\frac{23.89-24.57}{\frac{2.40}{\sqrt{30} } } ≈ −1,5518

The corresponding p-value is <em>two tailed </em>and  ≈ 0.12

c)

since p ≈0.12 > 0.05 <em>we fail to reject the null hypothesis.</em>

d)

Critical value for the 0.05 significance level in two tailed test is :

c(z)=-1.96 Since z≈ −1,6 >-1.96, it is not in the critcal region, therefore <em>we fail to reject the null hypothesis. </em>
