A group of three undergraduate and five graduate students are available to fill certain student government posts. If four students are to be randomly selected from this group, find the probability that exactly two undergraduates will be among the four chosen.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]Pr = 0.4286[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let

[tex]U \to\\[/tex] Undergraduates

[tex]G \to[/tex] Graduates

So, we have:

[tex]U = 3; G =5[/tex] -- Total students

[tex]r = 4[/tex] --- students to select

Required

[tex]P(U =2)[/tex]

From the question, we understand that 2 undergraduates are to be selected; This means that 2 graduates are to be selected.

First, we calculate the total possible selection (using combination)

[tex]^nC_r = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Total = ^{U + G}C_r[/tex]

[tex]Total = ^{3 + 5}C_4[/tex]

[tex]Total = ^8C_4[/tex]

[tex]Total = \frac{8!}{(8-4)!4!}[/tex]

[tex]Total = \frac{8!}{4!4!}[/tex]

Using a calculator, we have:

[tex]Total = 70[/tex]

The number of ways of selecting 2 from 3 undergraduates is:

[tex]U = ^3C_2[/tex]

[tex]U = \frac{3!}{(3-2)!2!}[/tex]

[tex]U = \frac{3!}{1!2!}[/tex]

[tex]U = 3[/tex]

The number of ways of selecting 2 from 5 graduates is:

[tex]G = ^5C_2[/tex]

[tex]G = \frac{5!}{(5-2)!2!}[/tex]

[tex]G = \frac{5!}{3!2!}[/tex]

[tex]G =10[/tex]

So, the probability is:

[tex]Pr = \frac{G * U}{Total}[/tex]

[tex]Pr = \frac{10*3}{70}[/tex]

[tex]Pr = \frac{30}{70}[/tex]

[tex]Pr = 0.4286[/tex]

Una empresa que trabaja en un mercado de competencia perfecta tiene una función de costos totales CT=Q^3-45Q^2+600Q+1.200 Las funciones de oferta y demanda de este mercado son: Qo=5P-300 y Qd=2.860-8P. Recuerde que la condición para maximizar beneficios dice que la empresa habrá de producir una cantidad tal que haga igualar sus costos marginales con el precio de equilibrio de mercado.

Answers

Answer:

La cantidad producida para maximizar las ganancias es de 915 unidades

Step-by-step explanation:

Pregunta: Calcule cuánto producirá para maximizar las ganancias.

La función de costo dada se presenta de la siguiente manera;

CT = Q³ - 45 · Q² + 600 · Q + 1200

La función de suministro es Qo = 5 · P - 300

La función de demanda es Qd = 2860 - 8 · P

A precio de equilibrio, tenemos;

Qo = Qd

Por lo tanto;

5 · P - 300 = 2860 - 8 · P

13 · P = 2.860 + 300 = 3.160

P = 3160/13

Por lo tanto;

Q = 2860 - 8 × (3160/13) = 11900/13 ≈ 915,38

La cantidad producida que maximiza las ganancias es de aproximadamente 915 unidades.

El costo total CT = 915³ - 45 × 915² + 600 × 915 + 1200 = 728,935,950

find k so that x^2+2x+k is a factor of 2x^4+x^3-14x^2+5x+6. also find all the zeroes of the two polynomial​

Answers

Compute the quotient and remainder,

[tex]\dfrac{2x^4+x^3-14x^2+5x+6}{x^2+2x+k} \\\\ = 2x^2 - 3x - (8+2k) + \dfrac{(21+7k)x+(6+8k+2k^2)}{x^2+2x+k}[/tex]

The remainder upon dividing [tex]2x^4+x^3-14x^2+5x+6[/tex] by [tex]x^2+2x+k[/tex] should leave no remainder, which means

[tex]21+7k = 0 \implies 21 = -7k \implies k=-3[/tex]

and

[tex]6+8k+2k^2 = 0 \implies 2(k+3)(k+1)=0 \implies k=-3\text{ or }k=-1[/tex]

Only k = -3 makes both remainder terms vanish.

Then the previous result reduces to

[tex]\dfrac{2x^4+x^3-14x^2+5x+6}{x^2+2x-3} = 2x^2 - 3x - 2[/tex]

so that

[tex]2x^4+x^3-14x^2+5x+6 = (x^2+2x-3) (2x^2 - 3x - 2) \\\\ 2x^4+x^3-14x^2+5x+6 = (x+3)(x-1)(2x + 1)(x-2)[/tex]

and so the zeroes of the quartic polynomial are x = -3, x = 1, x = -1/2, and x = 2.

A 10-foot ladder rests against a vertical wall. Let x be the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the wall and y be the distance from the floor to the top of the ladder. If the bottom of the ladder slides away from the wall, how fast does the top of the ladder fall down the wall with respect to x

Answers

Answer:

The rate of change of the top of the ladder with respect to x is -x/y

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The length of the ladder = 10 ft.

The horizontal distance of the bottom of the ladder from the wall = x

The distance of the top of the ladder from the floor = y

By Pythagoras's theorem, we have;

10 = y² + x²

Therefore, we have;

x² = 10 - y²

d(x²)/dx = 2·x =  d(10 - y²)/dx = -2·y·dy/dx

∴ 2·x = -2·y·dy/dx

dy/dx = 2·x/(-2·y) = -x/y

Therefore, the rate of change of the top of the ladder with respect to x, dy/dx = -x/y.

determine the dimension of cube when the volume is 1.468mcube​

Answers

Answer:

1.137 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cube is given as the cube of the side. A cube is a 3 dimensional shape with equal sides and 6 faces. If the volume is V and the side is s then

V = s * s * s

Given that the volume is 1.468mcube​ then

s^3 = 1.468

Find the shortest side of a triangle whose perimeter is 64 if the ratio of two of its sides is 4:3 and the third side is 20 less than the sum if the other two

Answers

Answer:

The shortest side of the triangle is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sides the triangle be x, y and z.

From the question, the perimeter of the rectangle is 64, that is

x + y + z = 64 ...... (1)

Also, the ratio of two of its sides is 4:3, that is x:y = 4:3, then we can write that x/y = 4/3 ⇒ 3x = 4y ...... (2)

The third side, z, is 20 less than the sum of the other two, that is

z + 20 = x + y ...... (3)

Substitute equation (3) into (1)

Then,

z + 20 + z = 64

2z +20 = 64

2z = 64 - 20

2z = 44

z = 44/2 k

z = 22

From equation (3)

z + 20 = x + y

Then, k

22 + 20 = x +y

42 = x + y

x = 42 - y ...... (4)

Substitute this into equation 2

3x = 4y

3(42-y) = 4y

126 - 3y = 4y

4y + 3y = 126

7y = 126

y = 126/7

y = 18

Substitute this into equation (4)

x = 42 - y

x = 42 - 18

x = 24

∴ x = 24, y = 18 and z = 22

Hence, the shortest side of the triangle is 18.
