Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If a sequence c1,c2,c3,...has limit K then the sequence ec1,ec2,ec3,...has limit e^K. Use this fact together with l'Hopital's rule to compute the limit of the sequence given by

bn=(n)^(5.6/n).

a)

[tex]L = \lim_{n \to \infty} b_n \\\\\\L= \lim_{n \to \infty} n^{\frac{5.6}{n} }[/tex]

Log on both sides

[tex]In (L) = \lim_{n \to \infty} In (n)^{\frac{5.6}{n} }\\\\= \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{5.6}{n} In(n)[/tex]

[tex]=5.6 \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{d}{dn} In(n)/\frac{d}{dn} (n)\\\\=5.6 \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{n} /1 \\\\=5.6 \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{n} \\\\=5.6 \times 0\\\\In(L) =0\\\\L=e^0\\\\L=1[/tex]

[tex]\therefore \lim_{n \to \infty} (n)^{\frac{5.6}{n} =1[/tex]

The limit value of given sequece is 1.

To understand more, check below explanation.

The given sequence is,

                   [tex]b_{n}=n^{5.6/n}[/tex]

We have to find limit of above sequence.

           [tex]L=\lim_{n \to \infty} b_n \\\\L=\lim_{n \to \infty}n^{5.6/n} \\\\ln(L)=\lim_{n \to \infty}\frac{5.6}{n}ln(n) \\\\ln(L)=5.6\lim_{n \to \infty}\frac{ln(n)}{n} \\\\ln(L)=5.6\lim_{n \to \infty}\frac{1/n}{1} \\\\ln(L)=5.6*0=0\\\\L=e^{0}=1[/tex]

Therefore, the limit value of given sequece is 1.

Answer:

The 99.5% confidence interval for the proportion of all shrubs of this species that will resprout after fire is (0, 0.5745).

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 zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

For this problem, we have that:

[tex]n = 18, \pi = \frac{5}{18} = 0.2778[/tex]

99.5% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.005[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.005}{2} = 0.9975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 2.81[/tex].  

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2778 - 2.81\sqrt{\frac{0.2778*0.7222}{18}} = -0.01 = 0[/tex]

We cannot have a negative proportion, so we use 0.

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2778 + 2.81\sqrt{\frac{0.2778*0.7222}{18}} = 0.5745[/tex]

The 99.5% confidence interval for the proportion of all shrubs of this species that will resprout after fire is (0, 0.5745).

Answer:

a) [tex]\mathbf{4 + \dfrac{x}{1!}- \dfrac{2x^2}{2!} ...}[/tex]

b)  See Below for proper explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The objective here  is to Use the power series expansions for ex, sin x, cos x, and geometric series to find the first three nonzero terms in the power series expansion of the given function.

The function is [tex]e^x + 3 \ cos \ x[/tex]

The expansion is of  [tex]e^x[/tex] is [tex]e^x = 1 + \dfrac{x}{1!}+ \dfrac{x^2}{2!}+ \dfrac{x^3}{3!} + ...[/tex]

The expansion of cos x is [tex]cos \ x = 1 - \dfrac{x^2}{2!}+ \dfrac{x^4}{4!}- \dfrac{x^6}{6!}+ ...[/tex]

Therefore; [tex]e^x + 3 \ cos \ x = 1 + \dfrac{x}{1!}+ \dfrac{x^2}{2!}+ \dfrac{x^3}{3!} + ... 3[1 - \dfrac{x^2}{2!}+ \dfrac{x^4}{4!}- \dfrac{x^6}{6!}+ ...][/tex]

[tex]e^x + 3 \ cos \ x = 4 + \dfrac{x}{1!}- \dfrac{2x^2}{2!} + \dfrac{x^3}{3!}+ ...[/tex]

Thus, the first three terms of the above series are:

[tex]\mathbf{4 + \dfrac{x}{1!}- \dfrac{2x^2}{2!} ...}[/tex]

b)

The series for [tex]e^x + 3 \ cos \ x[/tex] is [tex]\sum \limits^{\infty}_{x=0} \dfrac{x^x}{n!} + 3 \sum \limits^{\infty}_{x=0} ( -1 )^x \dfrac{x^{2x}}{(2n)!}[/tex]

let consider the series; [tex]\sum \limits^{\infty}_{x=0} \dfrac{x^x}{n!}[/tex]

[tex]|\frac{a_x+1}{a_x}| = | \frac{x^{n+1}}{(n+1)!} * \frac{n!}{x^x}| = |\frac{x}{(n+1)}| \to 0 \ as \ n \to \infty[/tex]

Thus it converges for all value of x

Let also consider the series [tex]\sum \limits^{\infty}_{x=0}(-1)^x\dfrac{x^{2n}}{(2n)!}[/tex]

It also converges for all values of x

Answer:

d: please note I am not sure about this but look at my reasoning and maybe you can find your own answer that you are sure about.

D: i am sure about this.

Step-by-step explanation:

From what I looked up, i believe what you are talking about is deductive reasoning, which is based off of facts. It can't be a or b because that wasn't defined in the statement. Squares and rectangles are not the same thing since you can have a square that is a rectangle, but a rectangle that is not a square, so D is correct.

corresponding angles i believe since they are matching

I know that the 2 lines are parallel because 5 and 6 are alternate interior angles since they are on opposite sides.

4 and 6 are not vertical or right angles, so it must be d, also they follow what a corresponding angle is, which is them being matching.

Answer:

13. B

14. D

Step-by-step explanation:

13. Law of Detachment says that if two statements are true then we can derive a third true statement. So, for example, say the first statement is that you are a human. Say the second statement is that you breathe. You can write this as: if you are a human, you breathe. In this case, if you have a square, then you have a rectangle. You have a quadrilateral.

14. 4 and 6 are corresponding angles, since you can tell that there are two parallel lines from angle 5 = angle 6. You can also use angle addition theorem.

Answer:

The probability that all four received a raised when they asked for one is 0.370.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable X represent the number of business executives who received a pay raise when they asked for one.

The probability that a business executives received a pay raise when they asked for one is, p = 0.78.

A random sample of n = 4 executives was selected.

The events of any executive receiving a pay raise when they asked for one is independent of the others.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 4 and p = 0.78.

The probability mass function of X is:

[tex]P(X=x)={4\choose x}\ (0.78)^{x}\ (1-0.78)^{4-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...[/tex]

Compute the probability that all four received a raised when they asked for one as follows:

[tex]P(X=4)={4\choose 4}\ (0.78)^{4}\ (1-0.78)^{4-4}[/tex]

                [tex]=1\times 0.37015056\times 1\\\\=0.37015056\\\\\apporx 0.370[/tex]

Thus, the probability that all four received a raised when they asked for one is 0.370.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a test of 2 independent groups. Let μ1 be the mean dissolution time for disk-shaped ibuprofen tablets and μ2 be the mean dissolution time for oval-shaped ibuprofen tablets.

The random variable is μ1 - μ2 = difference in the mean dissolution time for disk-shaped ibuprofen tablets and the mean dissolution time for oval-shaped ibuprofen tablets.

We would set up the hypothesis.

a) The null hypothesis is

H0 : μ1 = μ2 H0 : μ1 - μ2 = 0

The alternative hypothesis is

H1 : μ1 ≠ μ2 H1 : μ1 - μ2 ≠ 0

This is a two tailed test.

For disk shaped,

Mean, x1 = (269.0 + 249.3 + 255.2 + 252.7 + 247.0 + 261.6)/6 = 255.8

Standard deviation = √(summation(x - mean)²/n

n1 = 6

Summation(x - mean)² = (269 - 255.8)^2 + (249.3 - 255.8)^2 + (255.2 - 255.8)^2+ (252.7 - 255.8)^2 + (247 - 255.8)^2 + (261.6 - 255.8)^2 = 337.54

Standard deviation, s1 = √(337.54/6) = 7.5

For oval shaped,

Mean, x2 = (268.8 + 260 + 273.5 + 253.9 + 278.5 + 289.4 + 261.6 + 280.2)/8 = 270.7375

n2 = 8

Summation(x - mean)² = (268.8 - 270.7375)^2 + (260 - 270.7375)^2 + (273.5 - 270.7375)^2+ (253.9 - 270.7375)^2 + (278.5 - 270.7375)^2 + (289.4 - 270.7375)^2 + (261.6 - 270.7375)^2 + (280.2 - 270.7375)^2 = 991.75875

Standard deviation, s2 = √(991.75875/8) = 11.1

b) Since sample standard deviation is known, we would determine the test statistic by using the t test. The formula is

(x1 - x2)/√(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2)

Therefore,

t = (255.8 - 270.7375)/√(7.5²/6 + 11.1²/8)

t = - 3

c) The formula for determining the degree of freedom is

df = [s1²/n1 + s2²/n2]²/(1/n1 - 1)(s1²/n1)² + (1/n2 - 1)(s2²/n2)²

df = [7.5²/6 + 11.1²/8]²/[(1/6 - 1)(7.5²/6)² + (1/8 - 1)(11.1²/8)²] = 613.86/51.46

df = 12

We would determine the probability value from the t test calculator. It becomes

p value = 0.011

d) Since alpha, 0.05 > than the p value, 0.011, then we would reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, we can conclude that at 5% significance level, the mean dissolve times differ between the two shapes

There is a missing content in the question.

After the statements and before the the options given; there is an omitted content which says:

Referring to Table 16-5, in testing the coefficient of X in the regression equation (0.117) the results were a t-statistic of 9.08 and an associated p-value of 0.0000. Which of the following is the best interpretation of this result?

Answer:

C. The quarterly growth rate in the number of contracts is significantly different from 0% (? = 0.05).

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given question:

The resulting regression equation can be represented as:

[tex]\hat Y = 3.37 + 0.117 X - 0.083 Q_1 + 1.28 Q_2 + 0.617Q_3[/tex]

where;

the estimated number of contracts in a quarter X is the coded quarterly value with X = 0

the first quarter of 2010 Q1 is a dummy variable equal to 1 in the first quarter of a year and 0 otherwise

Q2 is a dummy variable equal to 1 in the second quarter of a year and 0 otherwise

Q3 is a dummy variable equal to 1 in the third quarter of a year and 0 otherwise

Our null and alternative hypothesis can be stated as;

Null hypothesis :

[tex]H_0 :[/tex]  The quarterly growth rate in the number of contracts is not  significantly different from 0% (? = 0.05)

[tex]H_a:[/tex]  The quarterly growth rate in the number of contracts is significantly different from 0% (? = 0.05)

The decision rule is to reject the null hypothesis if the p-value is less than 0.05.

From the missing omitted part we added above; we can see that the   t-statistics value = 9.08 and the p-value = 0.000 .

Conclusion:

Thus; we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis. i.e

The quarterly growth rate in the number of contracts is significantly different from 0% (? = 0.05)

Answer:

[tex] z = \frac{0.11-0.14}{0.0139} = -2.156[/tex]

And we can use the normal standard distribution table and we got:

[tex] P(Z<-2.156) =0.0155[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know the following info given:

[tex] p =0.14[/tex] represent the population proportion

[tex] n = 622[/tex] represent the sample size selected

We want to find the following proportion:

[tex] P(\hat p <0.11)[/tex]

For this case we can use the normal approximation since we have the following conditions:

i) np = 622*0.14 = 87.08>10

ii) n(1-p) = 622*(1-0.14) =534.92>10

The distribution for the sample proportion would be given by:

[tex] \hat p \sim N (p ,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}) [/tex]

The mean is given by:

[tex] \mu_{\hat p}= 0.14[/tex]

And the deviation:

[tex]\sigma_{\hat p}= \sqrt{\frac{0.14*(1-0.14)}{622}}= 0.0139[/tex]

We can use the z score formula given by:

[tex] z=\frac{\hat p -\mu_{\hat p}}{\sigma_{\hat p}}[/tex]

And replacing we got:

[tex] z = \frac{0.11-0.14}{0.0139} = -2.156[/tex]

And we can use the normal standard distribution table and we got:

[tex] P(Z<-2.156) =0.0155[/tex]

We want to find the probability that a randomly selected freshman from this college does not take an introductory statistics class, so then we can use the complement rule given by:

[tex] P(A') = 1-P(A)[/tex]

Where A is the event of interest (a freshman at a certain college takes an introductory statistics class) and A' the complement (a freshman at a certain college NOT takes an introductory statistics class) and then replacing we got:

[tex] P(A')=1-0.21= 0.79[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem we know that the probability that a freshman at a certain college takes an introductory statistics class is 0.21, let's define of interest as A and we can set the probability like this:

[tex] P(A) = 0.21[/tex]

We want to find the probability that a randomly selected freshman from this college does not take an introductory statistics class, so then we can use the complement rule given by:

[tex] P(A') = 1-P(A)[/tex]

Where A is the event of interest (a freshman at a certain college takes an introductory statistics class) and A' the complement (a freshman at a certain college NOT takes an introductory statistics class) and then replacing we got:

[tex] P(A')=1-0.21= 0.79[/tex]

Answer:

The area of the rectangle increasing at the rate of 140 cm²/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangle area:

A rectangle has two dimensions, length l and width w.

It's area is:

A = l*w.

When the length is 20 cm and the width is 10 cm, how fast is the area of the rectangle increasing?

We apply implicit differentiation to solve this question:

[tex]A = l*w[/tex]

So

[tex]\frac{dA}{dt} = l\frac{dw}{dt} + w\frac{dl}{dt}[/tex]

Length is 20, so [tex]l = 20[/tex].

Width is 10, so [tex]w = 10[/tex]

The length of a rectangle is increasing at a rate of 8 cm/s and its width is increasing at a rate of 3 cm/s.

This means that [tex]\frac{dl}{dt} = 8, \frac{dw}{dt} = 3[/tex]

So

[tex]\frac{dA}{dt} = l\frac{dw}{dt} + w\frac{dl}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dA}{dt} = 20*3 + 10*8 = 140[/tex]

Area in cm².

So

The area of the rectangle increasing at the rate of 140 cm²/s

Please read the complete answer below!

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the following function:

[tex]f(x)=x^3-3x^2-9x+4[/tex]   (1)

a) To find the interval on which f is increasing or decreasing, you first calculate the critical points of f(x).

You calculate the derivative f(x) respect to x:

[tex]\frac{df}{dx}=3x^2-6x-9[/tex]    (2)

Next, you equal the derivative to zero, and then you find the roots of the polynomial by using the quadratic formula:

[tex]3x^2-6x-9=0\\\\x_{1,2}=\frac{-(-6)\pm\sqrt{(-6)^2-4(3)(-9)}}{2(3)}\\\\x_{1,2}=\frac{6\pm12}{6}\\\\x_1=-1\\\\x_2=3[/tex]

Then, the critical points are x=-1 and x=3

Next, you calculate df/dx for a values of x to the left and to the right of the critical points x1 and x2. If df/dx < 0 the function is decreasing, if df/dx > 0 the function is increasing.

for x = -1.01

[tex]\frac{df(-1.01)}{dx}=3(-1.01)^2-6(-1.01)-9=0.12[/tex]

Then, in the interval (-∞,-1), the function is increasing

for x = -0.99

[tex]\frac{df(-0.99)}{dx}=3(-0.99)^2-6(-0.99)-9=-0.11[/tex]

In the interval (-1,3) the function is decreasing

for x = 3.01

[tex]\frac{df(3.01)}{dx}=3(3.01)^2-6(3.01)-9=0.12[/tex]

In the interval (3,+∞) the function is increasing

b) To find the local minimum and maximum you use the second derivative of the function:

[tex]\frac{d^2f}{dx^2}=6x-6[/tex]     (3)

you evaluate the second derivative for the critical points x1 and x2, if the second derivative is positive, you have a local minimum. If the second derivative is negative, you have a local maximum:

for x1 = -1

[tex]6(-1)-6=-12<0[/tex]

x=-1 is a local maximum

for x2 = 3

[tex]6(3)-6=12>0[/tex]

x=3 is a local minimum

c) upward concavity: (-1,3)

downward concavity: (-∞,-1)U(3,+∞)

The inflection points are calculated with the second derivative equal to zero:

[tex]6x-6=0\\\\x=1[/tex]

For x = 1 you have an inflection point
