Jenny bought scrapbooking supplies for $156.50. She paid $10.17 in sales tax. What was the sales tax rate on the supplies? If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

6.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

sales price x sales tax rate = sales tax

156.50 x sales tax rate = 10.17

sales tax rate = 10.17/156.50

sales tax rate = .065 or 6.5%

One mathematical idea I've always been curious about is "integration and derivation".

Integration is about assimilating different variables. Derivation is a mathematical process whereby a result is gotten from some initial assumptions.

Integration is used everyday in different aspects of our lives. For example, if a person is travelling from let's say point A to point B, the speed used by the person might vary but through integration, one can easily get the accurate speed.

Through the division of equations into smaller bits, once can use integration to get the answer that one seeks. Architect can use integration in building the right structures at the exact places where the structures fits.

4 football is kicked with a speed of 18.0 m/s at an angle of 36.9to the horizontal. 8. How long is the football in the air? Neglect air resistance. A ) 1.1 s B C ) 2.2 D) 3.3 E) 4.0

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  C)  2.2 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial vertical speed of the football is ...

  v = (18.0 m/s)sin(36.9°) ≈ 10.807 m/s

Since the ball starts and ends at ground level, its speed when it hits the ground is the same as its launch speed. That is, the acceleration due to gravity causes the velocity to change from +v to -v. The time required to do that is ...

  t = 2v/g = 2(10.807 m/s)/(9.8 m/s^2) = 21.614/9.8 s ≈ 2.206 s

The football is in the air about 2.2 seconds.

The equation written above could be interpreted as :

The product of 3 and the difference of -4 and the quotient of a number, n and -2 is less than 5

This means that the only error in Maddison's representation is the inequality sign, the inequality sign used by Maddison is wrong.

The equation should be used with a ≤ sign and expressed thus :

Five students sit at a circular table. Their chairs are number in order 1 through 5. Abby sits next to both Ben and Colin. Dalia sits next to both Ben and Sarah. The numbers on Abbys and Colins chairs add up to 6. Who is in chair number 3?

Answers

Ok I’ll take a shot at this. Im pretty sure the person sitting at seat number 3 would be Dalia (D). The reason is because the sum between Abby’s Chair and Colin’s chair must equal 6. There are only two number combinations that when added will equal 6 using numbers 1 to 5, and they are either (1,5) or (2,4). We know the sitting order Is Abby, Ben, Dalia, Sarah, and then Colin, so the possibility for Abby or Colin to be sitting in seat 2 or 4 is not possible because they are suppose to be seated together. So we now know Colin and Abby are in seats 5 and 1, now just follow the seating order and you will find the answer, Ben next to Abby, Dalia next to Ben, and Sarah between Dalia and Colin. Seat number 3 belongs to Dalia. I’ve included an image if it makes it better.

Assume a random variable representing the amount of time it takes for a customer service representative to pick up has a uniform distribution between 15 and 20 minutes. What is the probability that a randomly selected application from this distribution took less than 18 minutes

Answers

Answer:

0.6 = 60% probability that a randomly selected application from this distribution took less than 18 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Uniform probability distribution:

An uniform distribution has two bounds, a and b.  

The probability of finding a value of at lower than x is:

[tex]P(X < x) = \frac{x - a}{b - a}[/tex]

The probability of finding a value between c and d is:

[tex]P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}[/tex]

The probability of finding a value above x is:

[tex]P(X > x) = \frac{b - x}{b - a}[/tex]

Uniform distribution between 15 and 20 minutes.

This means that [tex]a = 15, b = 20[/tex]

What is the probability that a randomly selected application from this distribution took less than 18 minutes?

[tex]P(X < 18) = \frac{18 - 15}{20 - 15} = 0.6[/tex]

0.6 = 60% probability that a randomly selected application from this distribution took less than 18 minutes.

If a and b are positive numbers, find the maximum value of f(x) = x^a(2 − x)^b on the interval 0 ≤ x ≤ 2.

Answers

Answer:

The maximum value of f(x) occurs at:

[tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{2a}{a+b}[/tex]

And is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle f_{\text{max}}(x) = \left(\frac{2a}{a+b}\right)^a\left(\frac{2b}{a+b}\right)^b[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

[tex]\displaystyle f(x) = x^a (2-x)^b \text{ where } a, b >0[/tex]

And we want to find the maximum value of f(x) on the interval [0, 2].

First, let's evaluate the endpoints of the interval:

[tex]\displaystyle f(0) = (0)^a(2-(0))^b = 0[/tex]

And:

[tex]\displaystyle f(2) = (2)^a(2-(2))^b = 0[/tex]

Recall that extrema occurs at a function's critical points. The critical points of a function at the points where its derivative is either zero or undefined. Thus, find the derivative of the function:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx} \left[ x^a\left(2-x\right)^b\right][/tex]

By the Product Rule:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} f'(x) &= \frac{d}{dx}\left[x^a\right] (2-x)^b + x^a\frac{d}{dx}\left[(2-x)^b\right]\\ \\ &=\left(ax^{a-1}\right)\left(2-x\right)^b + x^a\left(b(2-x)^{b-1}\cdot -1\right) \\ \\ &= x^a\left(2-x\right)^b \left[\frac{a}{x} - \frac{b}{2-x}\right] \end{aligned}[/tex]

Set the derivative equal to zero and solve for x:

[tex]\displaystyle 0= x^a\left(2-x\right)^b \left[\frac{a}{x} - \frac{b}{2-x}\right][/tex]

By the Zero Product Property:

[tex]\displaystyle x^a (2-x)^b = 0\text{ or } \frac{a}{x} - \frac{b}{2-x} = 0[/tex]

The solutions to the first equation are x = 0 and x = 2.

First, for the second equation, note that it is undefined when x = 0 and x = 2.

To solve for x, we can multiply both sides by the denominators.

[tex]\displaystyle\left( \frac{a}{x} - \frac{b}{2-x} \right)\left((x(2-x)\right) = 0(x(2-x))[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle a(2-x) - b(x) = 0[/tex]

And solve for x:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} 2a-ax-bx &= 0 \\ 2a &= ax+bx \\ 2a&= x(a+b) \\ \frac{2a}{a+b} &= x \end{aligned}[/tex]

So, our critical points are:

[tex]\displaystyle x = 0 , 2 , \text{ and } \frac{2a}{a+b}[/tex]

We already know that f(0) = f(2) = 0.

For the third point, we can see that:

[tex]\displaystyle f\left(\frac{2a}{a+b}\right) = \left(\frac{2a}{a+b}\right)^a\left(2- \frac{2a}{a+b}\right)^b[/tex]

This can be simplified to:

[tex]\displaystyle f\left(\frac{2a}{a+b}\right) = \left(\frac{2a}{a+b}\right)^a\left(\frac{2b}{a+b}\right)^b[/tex]

Since a and b > 0, both factors must be positive. Thus, f(2a / (a + b)) > 0. So, this must be the maximum value.

To confirm that this is indeed a maximum, we can select values to test. Let a = 2 and b = 3. Then:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(x) = x^2(2-x)^3\left(\frac{2}{x} - \frac{3}{2-x}\right)[/tex]

The critical point will be at:

[tex]\displaystyle x= \frac{2(2)}{(2)+(3)} = \frac{4}{5}=0.8[/tex]

Testing x = 0.5 and x = 1 yields that:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(0.5) >0\text{ and } f'(1) <0[/tex]

Since the derivative is positive and then negative, we can conclude that the point is indeed a maximum.

Therefore, the maximum value of f(x) occurs at:

[tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{2a}{a+b}[/tex]

And is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle f_{\text{max}}(x) = \left(\frac{2a}{a+b}\right)^a\left(\frac{2b}{a+b}\right)^b[/tex]

The question is somewhat poorly posed because the equation doesn't involve θ at all. I assume the author meant to use x.

By definition of secant and cosecant,

1/cos(x) = 1/sin(x)

Multiply both sides by sin(x) :

sin(x)/cos(x) = sin(x)/sin(x)

As long as sin(x) ≠ 0, this reduces to

sin(x)/cos(x) = 1

An article reported that, in a study of a particular wafer inspection process, 356 dies were examined by an inspection probe and 244 of these passed the probe. Assuming a stable process, calculate a 95% (two-sided) confidence interval for the proportion of all dies that pass the probe. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all dies that pass the probe is (0.637, 0.733).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

356 dies were examined by an inspection probe and 244 of these passed the probe.

This means that [tex]n = 356, \pi = \frac{244}{356} = 0.685[/tex]

95% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].  

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.685 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.685*0.315}{356}} = 0.637[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.685 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.685*0.315}{356}} = 0.733[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all dies that pass the probe is (0.637, 0.733).
