Answer: A, because the equation of a circle is [tex](x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2[/tex]. So, if the point of the center is [tex](5,7)[/tex] and the radius [tex]2[/tex] , then on the equation should be changed as negative and the radius should be multiplied as [tex]4[/tex], which is [tex](x-5)^2+(y-7)^2=4[/tex]

Find the value of 5w-1 given that 3w-4=8
Simplify your answer as much as possible

Answers

Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the value of w.

3w - 4 = 8

Isolate the variable, w. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, add 4 to both sides:

3w - 4 (+4) = 8 (+4)

3w = 8 + 4

3w = 12

Divide 3 from both sides to fully isolate the variable, w:

(3w)/3 = (12)/3

w = 12/3

w = 4

Plug in 4 for w in the first expression & solve:

5w - 1

5(4) - 1

20 - 1

Answer:

A bakery sold 101 cupcakes in one day. The head baker predicted he would sell 81 cupcakes that day. What was the percent error of the baker's prediction? *

Answers

Answer:

19.8% is the percent error of the baker's prediction.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Total number of cupcakes sold in 1 day = 101

Predicted number of cupcakes sold = 81

We have to find the percent error of the baker's prediction.

Percentage error =

[tex]=\dfrac{\text{Actual value - Predicted value}}{\text{Actual values}}\times 100\%[/tex]

Putting values, we get

[tex]=\dfrac{101-81}{101}\times 100\%\\\\=19.8\%[/tex]

Thus, 19.8% is the percent error of the baker's prediction.

The soot produced by a garbage incinerator spreads out in a circular pattern. The depth, H(r), in millimeters, of the soot deposited each month at a distance r kilometers from the incinerator is given by H(r)=0.116eâ2.3r.Write a definite integral (with independent variable r) giving the total volume of soot deposited within 5 kilometers of the incinerator each month.

Answers

Answer:

V = integral of [ 0.116e^(-2.3r) * 2πr (10^3) ] dr with upper limit of 5 and lower limit of 0. Unit in m^3.

Step-by-step explanation:

H(r) = 0.116e^(-2.3r)

H(r) = millimeters

r = kilometers

We'll use Riemann's sum to approximate the total area underneath the region of the integral.

Using Riemann's sum, we break the region into rings of radius r and width ∆r.

Area of rings = πr^2

Area of the rings with radius r and width ∆r, then becomes=

π(r+ ∆r)^2 - πr^2

On expanding:

Area = π[ r^2 + 2r∆r + (∆r)^2] - πr^2

= πr^2 + 2πr∆r + π(∆r)^2 - πr^2

= 2πr∆r + π(∆r)^2

Area = ∆r(2πr + π∆r)

Area/∆r = 2πr + π∆r

At lim ∆r tends to zero

Area/∆r = 2πr + 0 = 2πr

Area = 2πr∆r

Volume = Area * depth

= Area * H(r)

∆V approximately equal to:

2πr∆r * H(r)

Sum of the contribution for all the rings for the volume (total volume):

V approximately sum of [H(r) *2πr∆r]

V ≈ ∑H(r)· 2πr∆r.

Taking the limit as ∆r tends to zero,

V = integral of [ 0.116e^(-2.3r) * 2πr ] dr with upper limit of 5 and lower limit of 0.

The term H(r) and Area are not in the same unit. We would convert both to meters.

H(r) = mm = 10^(-3)m

Area = km^2 = km*km

= (10^3)m * (10^3)m = (10^6)m^2

V = integral of [(10^-3m) *  0.116e^(-2.3r) *2πr (10^6m^2) dr] with upper limit of 5 and lower limit of 0.

V = integral of [ 0.116e^(-2.3r) * 2πr (10^3) dr ] with upper limit of 5 and lower limit of 0. Unit in m^3.

Leslie has a rectangular patio. She measures it and finds out it is 2135 feet long by 1115 feet wide. She wants to know how many square feet of tile she will need to completely cover the patio. Draw the patio, and label the measurements. How much tile will Leslie need to cover the patio? If each square foot of tile costs 75 cents, how much will she have to pay to cover her patio?

Answers

Answer: (1) Leslie will need 2,380,525 square tiles (1 foot by 1 foot each)

(2) She will have to spend $1,785,393.75 to cover her patio.

Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the picture attached.

The rectangular patio has been designed and as shown in the diagram has on side measuring 2135 ft and the other side measuring 1115 ft. This means, in order to cover the entire patio, she would have to cover an entire area defined as 2,135 feet into 1,115 feet. If one tile measures 1 foot long by 1 foot wide, the total number of tiles to cover the patio can simply be derived as;

Area = L x W

Where the length is 2135 and the width is 1115,

Area = 2135 x 1115

Area = 2380525

**Having in mind that one tile measures 1 ft by 1 ft, the area of each tile is given as

Area = L x W

Area = 1 x 1

Area = 1 square foot**

(1) The above calculation shows that Leslie would be using up a total of 2,380,525 square tiles to completely cover her patio.

(2) Having been told that each square foot of tile costs 75 cents ($0.75), the total amount spent to cover her patio would be calculated as follows;

Cost = Area x cost per tile

Cost = 2380525 x 0.75

Cost = 1785393.75

The total cost therefore is $1,785,393.75

Leslie needs [tex]\( 2380025 \)[/tex] square feet of tile, and it will cost her [tex]\( \$1785018.75 \)[/tex] to cover her patio.

1. Calculate the area of the patio:

  [tex]\[ \text{Area} = 2135 \times 1115 = 2380025 \text{ square feet} \][/tex]

2. Calculate the total cost of tiles:

[tex]\[ \text{Total cost} = 2380025 \text{ square feet} \times \$0.75/\text{sq ft} = \$1785018.75 \][/tex]

Therefore, Leslie needs [tex]\( 2380025 \)[/tex] square feet of tile, and it will cost her [tex]\( \$1785018.75 \)[/tex] to cover her patio.

The life in hours of a biomedical device under development in the laboratory is known to be approximately normally distributed. A random sample of 15 devices is selected and found to have an average life of 5617.8 hours and a sample standard deviation of 234.5 hours.

a) Test the hypothesis that the true mean life of a biomedical device is greater than 500 using the P - value approach.

b) Construct a 95% lower confidence bound on the mean.

c) Use the confidence bound found in part (b) to test the hypothesis.

Answers

Answer:

a) The evidence suggest the true mean life of a biomedical device > 5500

b) (5487.94, +∞)

c) There is evidence to support that the mean is equal to 5500

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have

(a) To test the hypothesis we have the claim that the mean life of biomedical devices > 5500

Therefore, we put the null Hypothesis which is the proposition that a difference does not exist. That is

H₀:  μ = 5500

Therefore, the alternative hypothesis will be

Hₐ:  μ > 5500

The test statistic is then found by;

[tex]t=\frac{\bar{x}-\mu }{\frac{s }{\sqrt{n}}} =\frac{5617.8-5500 }{\frac{234.5 }{\sqrt{15}}} \approx 1.95[/tex]

The P value from the T table at df = n - 1 = 15 - 1 = 14 is

0.025 < P < 0.05

The P value is given as 0.036 from the T distribution at 14 derees of freedom df

Therefore, since P < α or 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis. That is we fail to reject Hₐ:  μ > 5500. The evidence suggest the true mean life of a biomedical device > 5500

(b) The 95% confidence interval is given as

[tex]CI=\bar{x}\pm t_\alpha \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

Which gives    t[tex]_\alpha[/tex] =  [tex]\pm[/tex]2.145

[tex]CI=5617.8\pm 2.145 \times \frac{234.5}{\sqrt{15}}[/tex]

The confidence interval of the lower bound on the mean is then

(5487.94, +∞)

c) From the above result, we find that the mean of 5500 is contained in the range of the lower confidence on the mean. We can therefore, accept the null hypothesis. That is there is evidence to support that the mean is equal to 5500.

Patricia needs 10 yards of fabric to make curtains for her bedroom she also needs 3 yards of fabric to make a cover for her storage bench Patricia has 15 feet of fabric how many more feet of fabric does she need

Answers

Answer:

24 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question, Patricia needs 10 yards of fabric to make curtains for her bedroom she also needs 3 yards of fabric to make a cover for her storage bench

So, she needs 13 yards

converting into feet

1 yard = 3 feet

13 yards x 3 = 39 feet

Now, she already has  15 feet of fabric.

Finding out the difference : 39 - 15= 24 feet

Therefore, she needs 24 feet more of fabric

Answer:

She needs an additional 24 feet of fabric.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we first need to calculate how many yards of fabric Patricia needs. This will be given by the sum of the fabric needed for the curtains and the fabric required to cover the storage bench. As seen bellow:

required fabric = 10 + 3 = 13 yards

We need to convert this value to feets, so the units are the same. To do that we multiply by 3.

required fabric = 13*3 = 39 feet

To know how many more fabric she needs we have to subtract the required fabric for the task by the total she already has. This is shown bellow:

needed fabric = 39 - 15 = 24 feet

She needs an additional 24 feet of fabric.

The radius of the base of a cone is decreasing at a rate of 2 22 centimeters per minute. The height of the cone is fixed at 9 99 centimeters. At a certain instant, the radius is 13 1313 centimeters. What is the rate of change of the volume of the cone at that instant (in cubic centimeters per minute)?

Answers

Answer:

The Volume is decreasing at a rate of [tex]156\pi[/tex] [tex]cm^3[/tex] per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a cone of radius r and perpendicular height h

Volume of the cone, [tex]V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h[/tex]

Since the height of the cone is fixed, the rate of change of the volume of the Cone, [tex]\frac{dV}{dt}[/tex] is given as:

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h \\\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{h\pi}{3} \frac{d}{dt} r^2\\\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{2rh\pi}{3} \frac{dr}{dt}[/tex]

We are to determine the rate of change of the Volume, V when:

The radius is decreasing at a rate of 2 cm per minute,  [tex]\frac{dr}{dt} = -2 cm/min[/tex]

Height, h=9 cm

Radius = 13cm

[tex]\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{2rh\pi}{3} \frac{dr}{dt}\\=\frac{2*13*9\pi}{3}* ( -2)\\\frac{dV}{dt}=-156\pi \:cm^3/min[/tex]

The Volume is decreasing at a rate of [tex]156\pi[/tex] [tex]cm^3[/tex]  per minute.
