To approximate the integral of sin(x^2) dx from 0 to 5 using the Midpoint Rule with n=5, first calculate Δx = 1. Next, perform calculations with x values 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, and 4.5. Finally, use the Midpoint Rule formula to calculate the approximated integral.

To solve this problem, you'll need to use the Midpoint Rule, which is a numerical method used to approximate definite integrals. In this case, we want to approximate ∫ from 0 to 5 of sin(x^2) dx with an n value of 5.

The Midpoint Rule can be represented as: Mn = Δx[f(x1) + f(x2) + ... + f(xn)], where Δx = (b-a)/n and each xi = a + (Δx/2) + (i-1)Δx.

Here, we'll first find our Δx = (5-0)/5 = 1, then calculate each xi and plug those into our function. Our xi values will be 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, and 4.5. Finally, we plug into our formula and solve to find our approximated integral value.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem is given as

a² +b² = c²

a² = c² - b²

a² = 252 – 202

a² = 625 – 400

a² = 225

a = √225

a = 15

Length of the missing side is 15

To find the value of the six trigonometric function

1) sin x = a/c

        = 15/25

     sin x   = 0.6,    x = sin⁻¹ 0.6 = 36.86

2) cos x = b/c

         = 20/25

       cos x  = 0.8,     x = cos⁻¹ 0.8 = 36.86

3) tan x = a/b

         = 15/20

     tan x   = 0.75,     x = tan⁻¹ 0.75 = 36.86

∴ Θ = 36.86°

4) csc x = c/a

         = 25/15

    csc x    = 1.67     x = csc⁻¹ 1.67

5) sec x = c/b

         = 25/20

      sec x   = 1.25     x = sec⁻¹ 1.25

6) cot x = b/a

        = 20/15

   cot x  = 1.33        x = cot⁻¹ 1.33

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c

Where c = y intercept

Slope, m =change in value of y on the vertical axis / change in value of x on the horizontal axis

If two lines are perpendicular, it means that the slope of one line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the other line. The equation of the given line is

y=2x-4

Slope = 2

Therefore, the slope of the perpendicular line is -1/2

It passes through point (4,4)

We would determine the intercept, by substituting m = -1/2 , y = 4 and x = 4 into the slope intercept equation

y = mx + c

4 = -1/2 ×4 + c

4 = -2 + c

c = 4 + 2 = 6

The equation becomes

y = -x/2 + 6

Answer:

40% or 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The optimal capital structure (OCS) of a firm is defined as "the proportion of debt and equity that results in the lowest weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for the firm"

The brief explanation of this is that OCS is the factor used by a company in maximising their stock price, and this generally calls for a Debt-to-capital or "Debit-to-equity" ratio.

From the table above, the company's stock ratio is highest or maximised at 37.75 (under Projected Stock Price Column)

This can be traced to 40% under Debt/Capital ratio column

Hence, the Debt/Capital Ratio of 40%,

Because it must equate to 100%, we say that the firm's optimal capital structure is 40% debt and 60% equity.

This is also the debt to capital ratio, where the firms WACC is minimized.

The optimal capital structure for Terrell Trucking Company is a 40% debt-to-capital ratio, indicating a mix of 40% debt and 60% equity. Assuming the WACC is minimized at the optimal capital structure, the company's WACC would also be minimized at a 40% debt-to-capital ratio.

In order to determine Terrell's optimal capital structure, we need to identify at what debt-to-capital ratio both the Earnings Per Share (EPS) and the stock price are highest. Based on the provided projections, the EPS and stock price are highest at a 40% debt-to-capital ratio. Therefore, the optimal debt-to-capital ratio for the company is 40%. This would indicate that Terrell's optimal capital structure is 40% debt and 60% equity.

Typically, the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is minimized at the optimal capital structure. Assuming this holds true for Terrell Trucking Company, the company's WACC would also be minimized at a 40% debt-to-capital ratio.

Answer:The rate per week =

20.48/8 = 2.56 kilometers per week

Step-by-step explanation:

A construction crew has just built a new road. It took them 8 weeks to build 20.48 kilometers of road. To determine the rate at which the road was built, we would divide the total length of road that was built by the construction company by the number of weeks or days or even hours used in the construction.

The rate per week =

20.48/8 = 2.56 kilometers per week

If we want to find the rate per day,

1 week = 7 days

8 weeks will be 8×7 = 56 days

So the rate per day =

20.48/56 = 0.366 kilometers per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

To turn the word problem into an equation, when we read:

"I am thinking of a number" we write "x"

"when I double my number" we write "2x"

"and then subtract the result from 5" we write "5 - 2x"

"I get negative one" we write "-1 = 5 - 2x"

Now we solve for the number, which is x.

Equation: -1 = 5 - 2x

-1 = 5 - 2x

subtract 5 from both sides

-6 = -2x

divide both sides by -2

3 = x

The mathematical expression of the given phrase is 5 - 2x = -1 thus the number will be 3.

A mixture of variables, numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are called expressions.

An expression is a mathematical proof of the equality of two mathematical expressions.

Let's say that number is x.

Double 2x

Subtract from 5

5 - 2x = -1

-2x = - 1 - 5

-2x = -6

x = 3

Answer:

Average rowing velocity of boat in still water is 4 miles per hour and average velocity of the current is 1 mile per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Let x be the average rowing velocity of boat in still water and y be the the average velocity of the current.

[tex]\text{Speed} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Distance}}{\texr{Time}}[/tex]

The boat rowed 7.5 miles​ downstream, with the​ current, in 1.5 hours.

Velocity with the current =

[tex]=\text{average rowing velocity of boat in still water} + \text{ average velocity of the current} = x + y[/tex]

Thus, we can write the equation:

[tex]7.5 = (x+y)1.5\\x+y = 5[/tex]

The return trip​ upstream, against the​ current, covered the same​ distance, but took 2.5 hours.

Velocity against the current =

[tex]=\text{average rowing velocity of boat in still water} - \text{ average velocity of the current} = x - y[/tex]

Thus, we can write the equation:

[tex]7.5 = (x-y)2.5\\x-y = 3[/tex]

Solving, the two equations:

[tex]2x = 8\\x = 4, y = 1[/tex]

Thus, average rowing velocity of boat in still water is 4 miles per hour and average velocity of the current is 1 mile per hour.

The statement is false. Multiple planes can be perpendicular to the same line through a given point.

The statement is False. If a line is perpendicular to a plane, it does not mean that it is the only plane perpendicular to the line.

There can be multiple planes perpendicular to the same line through a given point. For example, consider a line s passing through point Q and a plane M perpendicular to s at point Q. Now, we can also have another plane N perpendicular to line s at point Q, which is different from plane M. Therefore, the statement is false.

Answer:

a) 100000

b) 90000

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the possibility of 10 digits

(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)

If there are no restrictions on the digit, there are 10 possibilities for each of the five digits

We then have;

10*10*10*10*10

= 10^5

= 100000

This means 100000 zip codes are possible if there are no restrictions.

b) If the first digit cannot be 3, there are 9 possibilities. This is because the possibility of the first digit being 3 is 1 out of 10. Therefore the possibility of not being 3 is 9 out of 10

The other four digits have 10 possibilities each.

So we have

9*10*10*10*10

= 90000

This means there are 90000 zip codes if the first digit does not start with 3

Answer:

A rotation, then a dilation

Step-by-step explanation:

When two triangles are congruent, the three sides and angles will be the same.

A dilation is a type of transformation that works with scale factors and enlarges or reduces a figure, to create a new figure.

Now, the composition of transformations that will create a pair of similar but not congruent triangles are - a rotation, then a dilation.

A composition of a rotation followed by a dilation will create a pair of similar, but not congruent, triangles, option D.

The question asks which composition of transformations will create a pair of similar, but not congruent, triangles. In the realm of Euclidean geometry, certain transformations maintain the shape and size of geometric figures, while others maintain only the shape but not the size.

Among the choices given, a rotation followed by a reflection, a translation followed by a rotation, and a reflection followed by a translation will all produce congruent triangles, as they are types of isometries which preserve shape and size.

However, a rotation followed by a dilation is the correct composition that will result in triangles that are similar but not congruent. This is because rotation preserves the shape and size, but when followed by dilation, the size is changed while the shape remains the same, satisfying the condition of the question. Option D is correct.

Hence, a 95% confidence interval for the average amount its credit card customers spent on their first visit to the chain's new store in the mall. : (39.424, 61.576)

The 95% confidence interval for the average amount its credit card customers spent on their first visit to the chain's new store in the mall is calculated using the sample mean ($50.50), sample size (15), sample standard deviation (20), and Z-value for a 95% confidence interval (1.96). The calculated interval is (-$1.11, $102.11).

To construct a 95% confidence interval for the average amount that the department store's credit card customers spent on their first visit to their new store, we would use the formula for a confidence interval:

CI = X-bar ± (Z-value * (s/√n)),

where X-bar is the sample mean = $50.50, n is the sample size = 15, s is the sample standard deviation = √400 = 20, and Z-value is the critical value from the Z-table which, for a 95% confidence interval, equals 1.96.

Plug these values into the formula,

CI = 50.5 ± (1.96 * (20/√15))

Using a calculator, the confidence interval comes out to (-$1.11, $102.11).

So, we are 95% confident that the average amount its credit card customers spent on their first visit to the chain's new store in the mall lies between $-1.11 and $102.11.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we take this equation at face value, the expected utility bill is ...

  23.40 +0.4×2300

  = 23.40 +920

  = 943.40 ≠ 92.00

The equation does NOT predict a bill of $92.00.

The statement is false. Using the provided regression model (23.40 + 0.4x), the expected utility bill for a house of 2,300 square feet is $923.40, not $92.00.

The subject of this question lies within the field of Mathematics, specifically within statistics and regression analysis. In the given example, we have a study of 30 customers focusing on their utility bills. The regression model for this study is 23.40 + 0.4x, where 'x' denotes the number of square feet in a house. This model shows the relationship between the size of the house (in square feet) and the monthly utility bill.

To address the student's question, we use this model to calculate the expected utility bill for a customer who has a 2,300 square feet house by substituting 'x' with 2300. The calculation becomes: 23.40 + 0.4*2300 = 923.40, not $92.00. Therefore, the expected utility bill is approximately $923.40, not $92.00. So, the statement in the question is False.

To find the difference between the number of tetras and minnows, set up a system of equations using the given ratios. Solve the system to find the number of tetras, guppies, and minnows. Finally, subtract the number of minnows from the number of tetras to find the difference.

To determine the difference between the number of tetras and minnows in the fish tank, we need to first find the number of each type of fish. We can do this by setting up a system of equations using the given ratios. Let T represent the number of tetras, G represent the number of guppies, and M represent the number of minnows.

From the first ratio, we have T/G = 4/2. Simplifying this equation, we get T = 2G.

From the second ratio, we have M/G = 1/3. Simplifying this equation, we get M = (1/3)G.

Since we know there are a total of 60 fish in the tank, we can create the equation T + G + M = 60. Substituting the previous equations into this equation, we get 2G + G + (1/3)G = 60. Solving for G, we find G = 9. Plugging this value into the equations for T and M, we get T = 2(9) = 18 and M = (1/3)(9) = 3.

Therefore, there are 18 tetras and 3 minnows in the fish tank. The difference between the number of tetras and minnows is 18 - 3 = 15.

Answer: c

Step-by-step explanation:

The minimum sample size does not depend on the size of the population

The size of the population, N, is NOT required to determine the minimum sample size for estimating a population mean, contrasting with the required elements like the desired confidence level, margin of error, and population standard deviation.

The question asks which factor is NOT required to determine the minimum sample size needed to estimate a population mean. The options are:

The correct answer is C. The size of the​ population, N. When estimating a population mean, the key factors required include the desired confidence level, the desired margin of error, and the value of the population standard deviation (sigma), but not necessarily the size of the population. This is especially true in cases where the population is very large or infinite, and the sample size needed for a specific confidence level and margin of error can be calculated without this information.
