Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
in the question given, the goal is to rationalize the denominator, or in other words get rid of any square roots.
recall this formula :
(a-b)(a+b) = a^2 - b^2
in this case, to rationalize the denominator of 3 - [tex]\sqrt{6x}[/tex] , we will multiply it and the numerator by its conjugate. the conjugate of 3 -
after multiplying the denominator by its conjugate, we get:
(3 - [tex]\sqrt{6x}[/tex]) (3 +
at this point there is no need to solve the numerator as there is only one answer with this denominator.
hope this helps :)

A biologist was interested in determining whether sunflower seedlings treated with and an extract from Vinca minor roots resulted in a lower average height of sunflower seedlings that the standard height of 15.7 cm. The biologist treated a random sample of 33 seedlings with the extract and subsequently measured the height of those seedlings. At the 0.01 significance level, is there evidence that the true average height of the seedlings treated with an extract from Vinca minor roots is less than 15.7 cm?

c. Using the p-value, do you reject the null hypothesis or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Explain your decision.
d. Based on your decision in part (c), write a conclusion within the context of the problem.
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
H0 : μ = 15.7
H1 : μ < 15.7
This is a one sample t test :
Test statistic = (xbar - μ) ÷ (s/√(n))
n = sample size = 33
Using calculator :
The sample mean, xbar = 15.41
The sample standard deviation, s = 0.419
Test statistic = (15.41 - 15.70) ÷ (0.419/√(33))
Test statistic = - 3.976
Using the Pvalue calculator :
Degree of freedom, df = n - 1 ; 33 - 1 = 32
Pvalue(-3.976, 32) = 0.000187
Decison region :
Reject H0 if Pvalue < α
Since Pvalue < α ; we reject H0
There is significant evidence to conclude that the true average height of the seedlings treated with an extract from Vinca minor roots is less than 15.7 cm.
Lynbrook West, an apartment complex, has 100 two-bedroom units. The monthly profit (in dollars) realized from renting out x apartments is given by the following function. p(x)=-12x^2+2160x-59000 To maximize the monthly rental profit, how many units should be rented out? units What is the maximum monthly profit realizable?
Answer:
To maximize the monthly rental profit, 90 units should be rented out.
The maximum monthly profit realizable is $38,200.
Step-by-step explanation:
Vertex of a quadratic function:
Suppose we have a quadratic function in the following format:
[tex]f(x) = ax^{2} + bx + c[/tex]
It's vertex is the point [tex](x_{v}, y_{v})[/tex]
In which
[tex]x_{v} = -\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]
[tex]y_{v} = -\frac{\Delta}{4a}[/tex]
Where
[tex]\Delta = b^2-4ac[/tex]
If a<0, the vertex is a maximum point, that is, the maximum value happens at [tex]x_{v}[/tex], and it's value is [tex]y_{v}[/tex].
In this question:
Quadratic equation with [tex]a = -12, b = 2160, c = -59000[/tex]
To maximize the monthly rental profit, how many units should be rented out?
This is the x-value of the vertex, so:
[tex]x_{v} = -\frac{b}{2a} = -\frac{2160}{2(-12)} = \frac{2160}{24} = 90[/tex]
To maximize the monthly rental profit, 90 units should be rented out.
What is the maximum monthly profit realizable?
This is p(90). So
[tex]p(90) = -12(90)^2 + 2160(90) - 59000 = 38200[/tex]
The maximum monthly profit realizable is $38,200.

evaporation. So, the greater the area of the surface of the pool, the greater
the heat loss. For a given perimeter, which surface shape would be more
efficient at retaining heat: a circle or a rectangle? Justify your answer.
Answer:
rectangle
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of 20 feet
rectangle (square is technically a rectangle):
sides 5 and 5
5*5 = 25ft²

An office manager has received a report from a consultant that includes a section on equipment replacement. The report indicates that scanners have a service life that is normally distributed with a mean of 41 months and a standard deviation of 4 months. On the basis of this information, determine the proportion of scanners that can be expected to fail within plus or minus 6 months of the mean. (Enter your answer as a percentage without the percent sign; keep 2 decimal places)
Answer:
The answer is "36.14%"
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is given in the attached file please find it.
[tex]\mu =41\\\\\sigma= 4\\\\P(42<\bar{x}<48)= p(\bar{x}<48)-p(\bar{x}<42)\\\\Z =\frac{(42-41)}{4} = \frac{1}{4} =0.25\\\\Z =\frac{(48-41)}{4} = \frac{7}{4} = 1.75\\\\[/tex]
Using z-table to find the value.
[tex]\to P(41<\bar{x}<48) = 0.9599- 0.5987 = 0.3614\times 100= 36.14\%[/tex]
This means that between 42 and 48 months, 36.14 % of scanners could be predicted will break down.

On the first day of travel, a driver was going at a speed of 40 mph. The next day, he increased the speed to 60 mph. If he drove 2 more hours on the first day and traveled 20 more miles, find the total distance traveled in the two days.
The Total mileage is "400" and the further solution can be defined as follows:
Let t become the time he spent commuting on the first day of his vacation.
It is then calculated as [tex]t + 2[/tex].
[tex]\to 40\times(t+2) = 60(t) + 20 \\\\\to 40t+80 = 60t + 20 \\\\\to 80-20 = 60t + 40t \\\\\to 60 = 20t \\\\\to t=\frac{60}{20} \\\\\to t=\frac{6}{2} \\\\\to t= 3\\\\[/tex]
It traveled [tex]40\times (3 + 2) + 20 = 40\times 5 + 20 = 200+20=220[/tex] miles on its first day of operation.
The car traveled [tex]180\ miles[/tex] on the second day, which was [tex]60 \ miles \times 3[/tex].
So,
Total mileage= first day traveled + second day traveled [tex]= 220+ 180= 400 \miles[/tex]

Rope pieces of lengths 45 cm, 75 cm and 81 cm have to be cut into same size pieces. What is the smallest piece length possible?
Answer:
2025 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the length of pieces - 45 cm, 75 cm and 81 cm
To find the length of the rope we have to find the L.C.M. of 45, 75 and 81 :
3 | 45, 75, 81
| ________________
3 | 15, 25, 27
|________________
3 | 5, 25, 9
|________________
3 | 5, 25, 3
|________________
5 | 5, 25, 1
|________________
5 | 1, 5, 1
|________________
| 1, 1, 1
L.C.M. = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5
= 2025 cm
So, the least length of the rope should be 2025 cm which can be cut into a whole number of pieces of length 45 cm, 75 cm and 81 cm.
Using a profit P1 of $5,000, a profit P2 of $4,500, and a profit P3 of $4,000, calculate a 95% confidence interval for the mean profit per customer that SoftBus can expect to obtain. (Round your answers to one decimal place.) Lower Limit Upper Limit
Answer:
Confidence Interval
Lower Limit = $4,233.3
Upper Limit = $4,766.7
With 95% confidence, the mean profit per customer that SoftBus can expect to obtain is between $4,233.30 and $4,766.7 based on the given sample data.
Step-by-step explanation:
The z-score of 95% = 1.96
Profit Mean Square Root
Difference of MD
P1 $5,000 $500 $250,000
P2 4,500 0 0
P3 4,000 -500 $250,000
Total $13,500 $500,000
Mean $4,500 ($13,500/3) $166,667 ($500,000/3)
Standard Deviation = Square root of $166,667 = 408.2
Margin of error = (z-score * standard deviation)/n
= (1.96 * 408.2)/3
= 266.7
= $266.7
Confidence Interval = Sample mean +/- Margin of error
= $4,500 +/- 266.7
Lower Limit = $4,233.3 ($4,500 - $266.7)
Upper Limit = $4,766.7 ($4,500 + $266.7)

Nancy left a bin outside in her garden to collect rain water. She notices the 1/2 gallon fills 2/3 of the bin. Write and solve an equation to find the amount of water that will fill the entire bin. Show your work. Explain your answer in words.
Here we want to solve a question involving fractions, we will find that:
3/4 gallon fils the complete bin.
Ok, so we know that 1/2 gallon of water, fills 2/3 of the bin.
We want to find the total amount of water that would fill the entire bin.
So we could write an equation like:
amount of water = amount of the bin that it fills.
Then, using the above information, we have:
1/2 gal = 2/3 of a bin
Now we want to get at 1 on the right side, this would mean "1 bin"
Then we multiply both sides by (3/2)
(3/2)*(1/2) gal = (3/2)*(2/3) of a bin
3/4 gal = 1 bin
From this, we can conclude that (3/4) gallons of water would fill the complete bin.
If you want to learn more about algebra, you can read:

x = 0,75 gallons or x = 3/4 gallons The volume of the bin
The volume of the bin is: In terms of a fraction
1 = 3/3 or any unitary fraction 5/5 7/7 9/9
We will take 3/3 since we have the information that 2/3 of the volume of the bin was filled with 2/3 of a gallon
If 2/3 of the volume of the bin was filled with 1/2 gallon then we make a rule of three according to:
If 0,5 gal. fill 2/3 of the volume of the bin then
x gal fill 3/3 ( the volume of the bin)
solving
0,5 (gal) * 3/3 = (2/3)*x ( The equation)
0,5*3 = 2*x
x = (0,5*3)/2
x = 0,75 gallons or x = 3/4 gallons
You are offered two stocks. The beta of A is 1.4 while the beta of B is 0.8. The growth rates of earnings and dividends are 10% and 5%, respectively. The dividend yields are 5% and 7%, respectively.
Since A offers higher potential growth, should it be purchased?
Investments- Individual Work 2 Page 3
Since B offers a higher dividend yield, should it be purchased?
If the risk-free rate of return were 7% and the return on the market is expected to be 14%, which of these stocks should be bought?
Answer:
a) Yes , Cause The Expected Returns of stock A is Higher than that of B
b) No, Cause The Expected Returns of stock B is Lower than that of A
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Beta A \beta A=1.4
Beta B \beta B=0.8
Stock 1 Growth rates of earnings and dividends G_1=10\%
Stock 2 Growth rates of earnings and dividends G_2=5\%
Stock 1 Dividend yields D_1=5\%
Stock 2 Dividend yields D_2=7\%
Generally the equation for Expected Returns is mathematically given by
Expected Returns =Growth rates+Dividend yields
For Stock 1
Expected\ Returns =G_1+D_1
Expected\ Returns =5%+10%
Expected\ Returns =15%
For Stock 2
Expected\ Returns =G_2+D_2
Expected\ Returns =7%+5%
Expected\ Returns =12%
Therefore
a) Yes , Cause The Expected Returns of stock A is Higher than that of B
b) No, Cause The Expected Returns of stock B is Lower than that of A
use undetermined coefficient to determine the solution of:y"-3y'+2y=2x+ex+2xex+4e3x
First check the characteristic solution: the characteristic equation for this DE is
r ² - 3r + 2 = (r - 2) (r - 1) = 0
with roots r = 2 and r = 1, so the characteristic solution is
y (char.) = C₁ exp(2x) + C₂ exp(x)
For the ansatz particular solution, we might first try
y (part.) = (ax + b) + (cx + d) exp(x) + e exp(3x)
where ax + b corresponds to the 2x term on the right side, (cx + d) exp(x) corresponds to (1 + 2x) exp(x), and e exp(3x) corresponds to 4 exp(3x).
However, exp(x) is already accounted for in the characteristic solution, we multiply the second group by x :
y (part.) = (ax + b) + (cx ² + dx) exp(x) + e exp(3x)
Now take the derivatives of y (part.), substitute them into the DE, and solve for the coefficients.
y' (part.) = a + (2cx + d) exp(x) + (cx ² + dx) exp(x) + 3e exp(3x)
… = a + (cx ² + (2c + d)x + d) exp(x) + 3e exp(3x)
y'' (part.) = (2cx + 2c + d) exp(x) + (cx ² + (2c + d)x + d) exp(x) + 9e exp(3x)
… = (cx ² + (4c + d)x + 2c + 2d) exp(x) + 9e exp(3x)
Substituting every relevant expression and simplifying reduces the equation to
(cx ² + (4c + d)x + 2c + 2d) exp(x) + 9e exp(3x)
… - 3 [a + (cx ² + (2c + d)x + d) exp(x) + 3e exp(3x)]
… +2 [(ax + b) + (cx ² + dx) exp(x) + e exp(3x)]
= 2x + (1 + 2x) exp(x) + 4 exp(3x)
… … …
2ax - 3a + 2b + (-2cx + 2c - d) exp(x) + 2e exp(3x)
= 2x + (1 + 2x) exp(x) + 4 exp(3x)
Then, equating coefficients of corresponding terms on both sides, we have the system of equations,
x : 2a = 2
1 : -3a + 2b = 0
exp(x) : 2c - d = 1
x exp(x) : -2c = 2
exp(3x) : 2e = 4
Solving the system gives
a = 1, b = 3/2, c = -1, d = -3, e = 2
Then the general solution to the DE is
y(x) = C₁ exp(2x) + C₂ exp(x) + x + 3/2 - (x ² + 3x) exp(x) + 2 exp(3x)
A store is having a sale on chocolate chips and walnuts. For 8 pounds of chocolate chips and 3 pounds of walnuts, the total cost is $34. For 2 pounds of chocolate chips and 5 pounds of walnuts, the total cost is $17. Find the cost for each pound of chocolate chips and each pound of walnuts.
Answer:
chocolate chips are $2.00 per pound.
nd walnuts must be $3.50 per pound.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the price of walnuts and y the price of chocolate chips.
2x + 5y = 17 (i)
8x + 3y = 34 (ii)
Multiply (i) by 4 to get
8x + 20y = 68
Subtract (ii) to get
17y = 34
Dividing by 17, we see that chocolate chips are $2.00 per pound.
Substituting y=2 in (i) or (ii), walnuts must be $3.50 per pound.

A rocket is launched at t = 0 seconds. Its height, in meters above sea-level, is given by the equation
h = -4.9t2 + 112t + 395.
At what time does the rocket hit the ground? The rocket hits the ground after how many seconds
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find out how long it takes for the rocket to hit the ground, we only need set that position equation equal to 0 (that's how high something is off the ground when it is sitting ON the ground) and factor to solve for t:
[tex]0=-4.9t^2+112t+395[/tex]
Factor that however you are factoring in class to get
t = -3.1 seconds and t = 25.9 seconds.
Since time can NEVER be negative, it takes the rocket approximately 26 seconds to hit the ground.

Dogsled drivers, known as mushers, use several different breeds of dogs to pull their sleds. One proponent of Siberian Huskies believes that sleds pulled by Siberian Huskies are faster than sleds pulled by other breeds. He times 47 teams of Siberian Huskies on a particular short course, and they have a mean time of 5.2 minutes. The mean time on the same course for 39 teams of other breeds of sled dogs is 5.5 minutes. Assume that the times on this course have a population standard deviation of 1.4 minutes for teams of Siberian Huskies and 1.1 minutes for teams of other breeds of sled dogs. Let Population 1 be sleds pulled by Siberian Huskies and let Population 2 be sleds pulled by other breeds. Step 1 of 2 : Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true difference between the mean times on this course for teams of Siberian Huskies and teams of other breeds of sled dogs

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
Subtraction between normal variables:
When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.
Siberian Huskies:
Sample of 47, mean of 5.2 minutes, standard deviation of 1.4. So
[tex]\mu_1 = 5.2[/tex]
[tex]s_1 = \frac{1.4}{\sqrt{47}} = 0.2042[/tex]
Others:
Sample of 39, mean of 5.5 minutes, standard deviation of 1.1. So
[tex]\mu_2 = 5.5[/tex]
[tex]s_2 = \frac{1.1}{\sqrt{39}} = 0.1761[/tex]
Distribution of the difference:
[tex]\mu = \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 5.2 - 5.5 = -0.3[/tex]
[tex]s = \sqrt{s_1^2+s_2^2} = \sqrt{0.2042^2+0.1761^2} = 0.2692[/tex]
Confidence interval:
We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/tex]
Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].
That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so Z = 1.96.
Now, find the margin of error M as such
[tex]M = zs[/tex]
In which s is the standard error. So
[tex]M = 1.96(0.2692) = 0.5276[/tex]
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is -0.3 - 0.5276 = -0.8276.
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is -0.3 + 0.5276 = 0.2276
The 95% confidence interval for the true difference between the mean times on this course for teams of Siberian Huskies and teams of other breeds of sled dogs is (-0.8276, 0.2276).
