Sum and Product of Two Numbers Find two numbers whose sum is 20 and whose product is the maximum possible value. (Hint: Let x be one number. Then 20 - x is the other number. Form a quadratic function by multiplying them, and then find the maximum value of the function.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The numbers are 10 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

As described in the hint:

the numbers are x and 20 - x, their product is maximum possible value.

The product is:

x(20 - x) = - x² + 20x

This is a quadratic expression ax² + bx + c with the leading coefficient of a = - 1, b = 20 and c = 0.

It has a maximum and no minimum value since a < 0.

The x-coordinate of the maximum is the vertex which is x = - b/2a.

The x- coordinate of the vertex is:

x = - 20/-2 = 10

The maximum value itself is:

- 10² + 20*10 = - 100 + 200 =100

Answer 2

Answer:

10 and 10.

[tex]f(x)=-x^2+20x[/tex]

Maximum value of the function is 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two numbers whose sum is a positive integer, and whose product is the maximum possible value have to be two positive integers.

Pairs of positive integers whose sum is 20:

1 and 192 and 183 and 174 and 165 and 156 and 147 and 138 and 129 and 1110 and 10

The pair of numbers whose product is the maximum possible value is the pair of numbers that are closest to each other.  

Therefore the pair of numbers is 10 and 10:

[tex]\implies x = 10[/tex]

[tex]\implies 20 - x = 10[/tex]

Form a quadratic function by multiplying:

[tex]\implies f(x)=x(20-x)[/tex]

[tex]\implies f(x)=20x-x^2[/tex]

[tex]\implies f(x)=-x^2+20x[/tex]

The maximum value of the function is the y-value of its vertex.

[tex]\boxed{\begin{minipage}{5.6 cm}\underline{Vertex form of a quadratic equation}\\\\$y=a(x-h)^2+k$\\\\where:\\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $(h,k)$ is the vertex. \\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $a$ is some constant.\\\end{minipage}}[/tex]

To convert the function to vertex form, complete the square.

Factor out negative 1:

[tex]\implies f(x)=-(x^2-20x)[/tex]

Add and subtract the square of half the coefficient of the term in x:

[tex]\implies f(x)=-\left(x^2-20x+\left(\dfrac{-20}{2}\right)^2-\left(\dfrac{-20}{2}\right)^2\right)[/tex]

[tex]\implies f(x)=-(x^2-20x+100-100)[/tex]

[tex]\implies f(x)=-(x^2-20x+100)+100[/tex]

Factor the perfect square trinomial:

[tex]\implies f(x)=-(x-10)^2+100[/tex]

Therefore, the vertex of the function is (10, 100), and so the maximum value of the function is 100.

5. A sprinter runs at 12m/s. Convert this to km/h.

a) 2 km/h b) 12 km/h C) 3.6 km/h d) 43.2 km/h​

Answers

Answer:

43.2km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

1km = 1000m

1h = 3600s

1km/h to m/s

= 1 × 1000/3600

= 1000/3600

1m/s to km/h

= 1 ÷ 1000/3600

= 1 × 3600/1000

Hence, 12m/s = 12 × 3600/1000

= 43.2km/h

Find the length of each line segment

RS With R ( 6,5) and S (6,-4)

Answers

The Length of the line segment RS is 9 units

Line segment:

In geometry, the line that is bounded by two distinct points is known as a Line segment. In simple words, we can say that a line segment is part of a straight line that connects two distinct points.

To find the length of the line segment we can use the distance formula

               d = √ [ (x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]  

Where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are endpoints of Line segments  

Here we have

R ( 6,5) and S (6,-4)    

And we need to find the length of the line segment RS

Length of Line segment RS = distance between two points

= √ [ (6 - 6)² + (-4 - 5)²]  

= √ [ (-9)²]  

= 9 units

The Length of the line segment RS is 9 units

Sadie and Cora each want to run for president of their school's student body council. In order to do so, they must collect a certain number of signatures and get a nomination. So far, Sadie has 10 signatures, and Cora has 20. Sadie is collecting signatures at an average rate of 3 per day, whereas Cora is averaging 2 signatures every day. Assuming that their rate of collection stays the same, eventually the two will have collected the same number of signatures. How many signatures will they both have?

Answers

The number of signatures that Sadie and Cora have is 40 signatures.

How many signature they have?

Sadie has 10 and she is collecting signatures at an average rate of 3 per day. This will be:

10 + 3d

Cora has 20 and is averaging 2 signatures every day. This will be:

= 20 + 2d

The equation will be:

10 + 3d = 20 + 2d

Collect like terms

3d - 2d = 20 - 10

d = 10

Therefore, the number of signature will be:

= 10 + 3d

= 10 + 3(10)

= 10 + 30

a study of elephants is conducted to determine the average weight of a certain subspecies of elephants. the standard deviation for the population is 1500 pounds. at a 99% level, how many elephants need to be weighed so the average weight will be accurate to within 200 pounds?

Answers

The birth weight of elephants at the 99% confidence level is 3820 pounds

What is the standard deviation?

Standard deviation is defined as the amount of variation or the deviation of the numbers from each other.

The average birth weight of elephants is 200 pounds     = 200

The deviation of 60 pounds.                                               = 1500

The birth weight of elephants is at the 85th percentile.      z = 99%= 1.645

Now from the formula of z-score:-

[tex]z=\sqrt{\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} }[/tex]

[tex]1.64 =\sqrt{\frac{x-200}{1500} }\\[/tex]

[tex]1.645^{2} =\frac{x-200}{1500}[/tex]

2.68 = (x-200)/1500

2.68×1500=x-200

On solving the 3 variable equation you will get the answer x=6, y=1, and z=2. It is solved by elimination method.

What is elimination method?

The elimination method involves removing a variable from a system of linear equations by employing addition or subtraction along with multiplication or division of the variable coefficients.

Now, consider the first two equations.
-3x + 3y +2z = -11
3x + 5y - 5z = 13

Multiply the upper eqation with 5 and lower eqation with 2 to make coefficient of z equal.

-15x + 15y + 10z = -55
6x + 10y - 10z = 26

Add these two equations to eliminate z.

-9x + 25y = -29                   ... (1)

Now, consider second and third eqation from the the eqation given in the question.
3x + 5y - 5z = 13
5x - 6y - z = 22

Multiply the upper equation with 5 to make coefficient of z equal in both the equations.

3x + 5y - 5z = 13
25x - 30y - 5z = 110

Now, subtract the lower equation from the upper equation.
3x + 5y - 5z = 13
-25x + 30y + 5z = -110

To get the following equation:
-22x + 35y = -97                   ... (2)

Now, consider equation (1) and (2).
-9x + 25y = -29
-22x + 35y = -97

Multiply the upper equation with 35 and lower equation with 25.

-315x + 875y = -1015
-550x + 875y = -2425

Now, subtract these two equations to get the following equation:

235x = 1410
x = 6

Substitute the value of x in equation (1).

-9x + 25y = -29
-9 (6) + 25y = -29
25y = 25
y = 1

Now, substitute the value of x and y in following eqation:

-3x + 3y + 2z = -11
-3(6) + 3(1) + 2z = -11
-15 + 2z = -11
2z = 4
z =2

Hence, on solving the 3 variables equation, you will get the answer x=6, y=1, and z=2.

4. What is the expected number of classes a student will take in a given semester? (show your work on this one, and a screenshot of how you worked it out on the calculator or excel).

Answers

The probability to take 5 classes is 0.1, while the probability to take at least one class is 0.6, the probability to take 2 or 3 classes is 0.23 and the expectation of the distribution is 1.37.

1.

We know that in a probability distribution,  the sum of all the probabilities is always equal to 1.

Let the probability of X = 5 be a

Hence,

0.4 + 0.25 + 0.15 + 0.08 + 0.02 + a = 1

or, 0.9 + a = 1

or, a = 1 - 0.9

or, a = 0.1

Hence the probability to take 5 classes is 0.1.

2.

We need to find P(X ≥ 1)

= 1 - P(X = 0)

we already know from the table that P(X = 0) is 0.4

Hence, P(X ≥ 1)

= 1 - 0.4

= 0.6

Hence, the probability to take at least one class is 0.6

3.

The probability to take 2 or 3 classes in a semester = P( X = 2)  +  P(X = 3)

= 0.15  +  0.08

= 0.23

4.

We know that the expectation of any distribution

= ∑xp(x)

where,

x is the random variable

p(x) is the probability of the random variable

Therefore,

E(X) = 0 X 0.4  +  1 X 0.25  +  2 X 0.15  +  3 X 0.08  +  4 X 0.02  +  5 X 0.1

= 0  +  0.25  +  0.30+  0.24  +  0.08  +  0.50

= 1.37

Therefore the expectation of the given distribution is 1.37

2.3, 2.8, 3.3, 3.8, ...

We need to write a formula for the given sequence.

Let us find the common difference;

d = 2.8 - 2.3 = 0.5

a = 2.3

substitute the values in the above formula;

a_n = 2.3 + (n - 1) * 0.5

a_n = 2.3 + 0.5 n - 0.5

a_n = 1.8 + 0.5 n

So, the formula for the given sequence is a_n = 1.8 + 0.5 n.

Thus, a formula for the sequence 2.3, 2.8, 3.3, 3.8, ... is a_n = 1.8 + 0.5 n.

4.2 = 16.7 - 5y solve for y

Answers

Answer:

y = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To double check this, you can do 5 times (2.5), then do 16.7 minus that answer so you do, 16.7- 12.5 which does indeed equal 4.2

Answer:

y = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]4.2 =16.7-5y[/tex]

Subtract 16.7 from both sides of the equation you get:

The length of a rectangular window is 5 feet more than its width. The area of the
window is 36 square feet. What are the dimensions of the window? Could a moving
company use that window to bring a standard upright piano into an apartment?

Answers

The dimensions of the window: Length = 9ft , width = 4ft

What are dimensions?

In mathematics, a dimension is the length or width of an area, region, or space in one direction.

The homes we live in and the items we use on a daily basis all have three dimensions: height, length, and width.

Here, we have

l = w + 5

Area = length × width

The linear equation of the given dimension is:

36 = (w + 5)w

w² + 5w - 36 = 0

(w + 9)(w - 4) = 0

w + 9 = 0

w = -9

We only measure positive numbers so, we disregard this value.

we take,

w - 4 = 0

w = 4

l = 4 + 5

l = 9

The length of the window is 9 ft and the width of the window is 4 ft.

Hence, the dimensions of the window: Length = 9ft , width = 4ft
