If f(4) = 7 and f'(4) = -2, f(3.97) = ?

Answers

Answer 1
Sounds like you're supposed to find the approximate value of [tex]f(3.97)[/tex] by using the linear approximation to [tex]f(x)[/tex]. That would be

[tex]f(3.97)\approx f(4)+f'(4)(4-3.97)=7-2(0.03)=6.94[/tex]
Answer 2

The value of function at x = 3.97 is 6.94 using linear approximation.

Linear approximation is a method that uses the derivative of a function at a given point to approximate the function's value at a nearby point.

Given:  f(4) = 7 and f'(4) = -2

The linear approximation formula is given by:

[tex]\[f(x) \approx f(a) + f'(a)(x-a)\][/tex]

where a is the known point is the known function value at a, f'(a) is the derivative of the function at a.

Substitute the known values into the formula:

[tex]\[f(3.97) = f(4) + f'(4)(3.97 - 4)\][/tex]

[tex]\[f(3.97) = 7 - 2(0.03)\][/tex]

[tex]\[f(3.97) =7 - 0.06\][/tex]

[tex]\[f(3.97) = 6.94\][/tex]

So, [tex]\(f(3.97) = 6.94\).[/tex]

a round swimming pool has a circumference of 54 ft. Carrie wants to buy a rope to put across the diameter of the pool. the rope cost $0.85 per foot, and carrie need 3 feet more then the diameter of the pool. how much will carrie pay for the rope?

Answers

48.45 bc 54 plus 3= 57x .85
Hey there!

If the diameter of the pool is 54 feet, then you add 3 since Carrie needs 3 feet more than the diameter.

54 + 3 = 57

Last, you multiply the number of feet needed for the rope times the cost per foot of the rope:

57 x 0.85 = 45.9 <-----------

Carrie will pay $45.9 for the rope.

Apply the distributive property to create an equivalent expression.
1/2 (2a-6b+8) =?

Answers

Answer:

a - 3b + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property indicates that two or more terms present in a sum or subtraction multiplied by another quantity, is equal to the sum or subtraction of the multiplication of each of the terms of the sum or subtraction by the number.

So,

1/2 (2a-6b + 8) = 1/2 (2a) + 1/2 (-6b) + 1/2 (8)

Now we multiply the factor (1/2) for each of the three terms,

1/2 (2a) + 1/2 (-6b) + 1/2 (8) = (2/2)a + (-6/2)b + (8/2) = a – 3b + 4

The solution is a - 3b + 4,

So we say that 1/2(2a - 6b + 8) is equivalent to a - 3b + 4.

The distributive property is solved to the equation and the expression is represented as A = a - 3b + 4

Given data:

To apply the distributive property to the expression 1/2(2a-6b+8), distribute the 1/2 to each term inside the parentheses.

1/2(2a-6b+8) can be rewritten as:

(1/2) * 2a + (1/2) * (-6b) + (1/2) * 8

Now, let's simplify each term:

(1/2) * 2a = a

(1/2) * (-6b) = -3b

(1/2) * 8 = 4

Putting it all together, the expression becomes:

A = a - 3b + 4

Hence, on applying the distributive property to 1/2(2a-6b+8) gives the equivalent expression as a - 3b + 4.

The length of a rectangle is 8 cm more than 3 times its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 64 cm. Show the equation that would be used to find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Answers

The equation should go something like this: 
the length (l) is 8 more than 3 times the width (w) and the length plus the width is equal to half the perimeter
so the means that L= 3W+8 and L+W= 32
so you can plug in L to get 3W+8+W=32
Finally it would be 4W+8=32

Final answer:

To find the dimensions of a rectangle with length '8 cm more than 3 times the width' and a perimeter of 64 cm, form the equation 2(3W+8) + 2W = 64. Solving for W gives the width, which can be substituted into the equation 3W+8 to give the length.

Explanation:

The subject of the question is algebra, specifically how to form equations based on word problems involving geometric shapes. The rectangle problem you've given can be solved using the formulas for the perimeter of a rectangle.

The perimeter 'P' of a rectangle is given by P=2(length) + 2(width). In the problem, the length 'L' is given as 8 cm more than 3 times the width 'W', or L=3W+8. The perimeter 'P' is stated as 64 cm, so substituting our equation for length into the perimeter equation, we get 2(3W+8) + 2W = 64. This equation will yield the width of the rectangle. To get the length, you simply substitute the width into the length equation.

In a rhombus, an altitude from the vertex of an obtuse angle bisects the opposite side. Find the measures of the angles of the rhombus.

Answers

The obtuse angles will measure 120° and the acute angles will measure 60°.  

Drawing the altitude forms a right triangle.  Let the side of the rhombus be x.  The altitude bisects the opposite side, so the base of the triangle formed would be 1/2x.  We have an expression for the side opposite this portion of the obtuse angle (cut by the altitude) and for the hypotenuse (the side length of the rhombus, x).  opposite/hypotenuse is the ratio for sine.  Our equation then looks like this:
[tex]\sin x=\frac{\frac{1}{2}x}{x} \\ \sin x=\frac{1}{2}x \div x \\ \sin x=\frac{1}{2}x \div \frac{x}{1} \\ \sin x=\frac{1x}{2} * \frac{1}{x}=\frac{1x}{2x}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Now we take the inverse sine of both sides:
sin⁻¹(sin x)=sin⁻¹(1/2)
x=30

Since this portion of the triangle is 30, and the right angle is 90, the missing angle (an acute angle of the rhombus) is 180-30-90=60°.  Since the acute angles and obtuse angles of a rhombus are supplementary, the obtuse angles must be 180-60=120°.

The angles of the rhombus determines the inclination of the sides of the

rhombus.

The correct response;The measures of the four angles of the rhombus are 60°, 60°, 120°, and 120°.

Method used to arrive at the above response;Given;

The altitude of the rhombus bisects the opposite side.

The angle of the rhombus at the vertex point of the altitude = An obtuse angle

Required:

The measure of the angles of the rhombus

Solution:

The length of the sides of a rhombus are equal.

The opposite angles of a rhombus are equal.

Let x represent the length of a side of the rhombus, we have;

The bisector from the vertex of the obtuse angle = An altitude

The angle the altitude forms with the side it bisects = 90°

Therefore;

The triangle formed by the altitude, half the bisected side and the side of the rhombus adjacent to the bisected side = A right triangle

The hypotenuse side to the right triangle = The side of the rhombus

Let θ represent the angle opposite the altitude, and between the sides of

the rhombus, in the right triangle by trigonometric ratios, we have;

[tex]\displaystyle cos(\theta) = \mathbf{\frac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse}}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle cos(\theta) = \frac{0.5 \cdot x}{x} = 0.5[/tex]

θ = arccos(0.5) = 60°

Therefore, two acute (opposite) angles of the rhombus are 60°

The two obtuse angles of the rhombus are each = (360° - 2×60°) ÷ 2 = 120°

The angles of the rhombus are 60°, 60°, 120°, 120°.

Shelley compared the number of oak trees to the number of maple trees as part of a study about hardwood trees in a woodlot. She counted 9 maple trees to every 5 oak trees. Later in the year there was a big problem and many trees died. New trees were planted to make sure there was the same number of trees as before the big problem. The new ratio of the number of maple trees to the number of oak trees is 3:11. After planting new trees, there were 132 oak trees. How many more maple trees were in the woodlot before the big problem than after the bug problem? Explain.

Answers

Prior to the major issue, the woodlot had 72 more maple trees than it had after.

To solve this problem

Assuming x is a positive constant, we can represent the initial number of oak trees as 5x and the initial number of maple trees as 9x.

Prior to the problem, the ratio of maple trees to oak trees was 9:5, which produced the following equation:

[tex](9x)/(5x) = 9/5[/tex]

Later, the new ratio changed to 3:11 after new trees were planted to replace the original amount of trees. After planting, 132 oak trees were reported to have been planted. We so established the equation:

11y = 132

Solving for y:

y = 132/11 = 12

Now, we can find the new number of maple trees:

3y = 3 * 12 = 36

There were 36 maple trees when new trees were planted.

Before the problem, there were 9x as many maple trees as there were.

9x = 9 * 12 = 108

The difference between the original and new number of maple trees is:

108 - 36 = 72

So, Prior to the major issue, the woodlot had 72 more maple trees than it had after.

Assume c and d function independently. for the system to function, either c or d must function.
a. if the probability that c fails is 0.08 and the probability that d fails is 0.12, find the probability that the system functions.
b. if both c and d have probability p of failing

Answers

For the "system" to function, we require that [tex]C\cup D[/tex] occurs (i.e. the event that either [tex]C[/tex] or [tex]D[/tex] function properly). This occurs with probability

[tex]\mathbb P(C\cup D)=\mathbb P(C)+\mathbb P(D)-\mathbb P(C\cap D)[/tex]

but since [tex]C[/tex] and [tex]D[/tex] are independent,

[tex]\mathbb P(C\cup D)=\mathbb P(C)+\mathbb P(D)-\mathbb P(C)\mathbb P(D)[/tex]

We're given that [tex]\mathbb P(C^C)=0.08[/tex] and [tex]\mathbb P(D^C)=0.12[/tex], so

[tex]\mathbb P(C\cup D)=(1-0.08)+(1-0.12)-(1-0.08)(1-0.12)=0.9904[/tex]

If [tex]\mathbb P(C^C)=\mathbb P(D^C)=p[/tex], then

[tex]\mathbb P(C\cup D)=(1-p)+(1-p)-(1-p)^2=1-p^2[/tex]
Final answer:

The probability that the system functions is 1. In part b, the probability that the system functions is 2 - 2p.

Explanation:

To find the probability that the system functions, we need to find the probability that either c or d functions. Since c and d function independently, we can use the addition rule of probability. The probability that c functions is 1 minus the probability that c fails, which is 0.08, so the probability that c functions is 1 - 0.08 = 0.92. Similarly, the probability that d functions is 1 - 0.12 = 0.88. Since either c or d must function, we can add the probabilities of c and d functioning: 0.92 + 0.88 = 1.80 (which exceeds 1 since it's not possible for both c and d to function simultaneously). Therefore, the probability that the system functions is 1.

In part b, if both c and d have a probability p of failing, then the probability that c functions is 1 - p, and the probability that d functions is also 1 - p. Again, using the addition rule of probability, the probability that the system functions is: (1 - p) + (1 - p) = 2 - 2p.

It's either one wins or not with a bet of $3.

We can then obtain the probability mass function.

Random variable X represents the amount of winnings.

- If one bets $3 and picks the right colour, the person wins $6.

X = amount of winnings = 6 - 3 = $3

probability of winning = (18/37) = 0.486

- If one bets $3 and picks the wrong colour, then the person wins $0.

X = amount of winnings = 0 - 3 = -$3

Probability of losing = (19/37) = 0.514

The probability mass function is then

X | P(X)

3 | 0.486

-3 | 0.514

E(X) = Σ xᵢpᵢ

xᵢ = each variable

pᵢ = probability of each variable

E(X) = (3×0.486) + (-3×0.514) = -$0.084

Standard deviation = √(variance)

Variance = Var(X) = Σx²p − μ²

μ = E(X) = -0.084

Σx²p = (3²×0.486) + [(-3)² × 0.514] = 9

Variance = 9 - (-0.084)² = 8.993

Standard deviation = √8.993 = 2.999 = $3

(b) Suppose you bet $1 in three different rounds. What is the expected value and standard deviation of your total winnings?

With a bet of $1,

It's either one wins or not with a bet of $1.

We can then obtain the probability mass function.

Random variable X represents the amount of winnings.

- If one bets $1 and picks the right colour, the person wins $2.

X = amount of winnings = 2 - 1 = $1

probability of winning = (18/37) = 0.486

- If one bets $1 and picks the wrong colour, then the person wins $0.

X = amount of winnings = 0 - 1 = -$1

Probability of losing = (19/37) = 0.514

The probability mass function is then

X | P(X)

1 | 0.486

-1 | 0.514

E(X) = Σ xᵢpᵢ

xᵢ = each variable

pᵢ = probability of each variable

E(X) = (1×0.486) + (-1×0.514) = -$0.028

For 3 rounds of $1, the expected amount of winnings = 3 × -0.028 = -$0.084

Variance = Var(X) = Σx²p − μ²

μ = E(X) = -0.028

Σx²p = (1²×0.486) + [(-1)² × 0.514] = 1

Variance = 1 - (-0.028)² = 0.999216

Variance for combining 3 independent distributions = Σ λᵢ²σᵢ²

Variance of 3 rounds of $1 bets = 3[1²× var(X)] = 3 × var(X) = 3 × 0.999216 = 2.997648

Standard deviation = √(variance) = √(2.997648) = $1.73

(c) How do your answers to parts (a) and (b) compare? What does this say about the riskiness of the two games?

The expected winnings for both cases is exactly the same, but the spread of the wins about the expected value/mean is low in the case (b) compared to case (a).

So, with the expected winnings using the method in (a) and (b) the same, the risk associated with betting $3 dollar per game is higher because it has a higher standard deviation. This points to higher spread of losses and wins betting $3 once than betting $1 three different times.

Hope this Helps!!!
