Answer:

(1,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following system of equations:

y = -x + 3

y = 4x - 2

And we want to solve it, with the answer in an ordered pair.

Because both systems are equal to y, we can set both of the equations equal to each other, and solve for x in that way.

This is possible due to transitivity, which states that if a=b, and b=c, then a=c.

Hence,

-x + 3 = 4x - 2 (same as y=y)

We can add x to both sides.

3 = 5x - 2

Add 2 to both sides.

5 = 5x

Divide both sides by 5.

1 = x

Now, we can use this value to find y.

Substitute 1 as x in either y = -x + 3 or y = 4x - 2

Taking y = -x + 3 for instance:

y = -1 + 3 = 2

So, we now that x=1, y=2.

As an ordered pair, that is (1,2).

f'(x) = -6x^2

f'(-5) = -150

f'(0) = 0

f'(√17) = -102

The number of functions ,

(a) that are one-to-one are 0.

(b) that assign 0 to both 1 and n are 2ⁿ⁻²,

(c) that assign "1" to exactly one of positive-integers less than n are 2.(n-1).

Part(a) : We have to find total number of "one-to-one" functions from the set {1,2,......,n} to {0,1}.

⇒ If n=1 then there are 2 possible functions depending whether 1 is mapped to "0" or "1" ,So there are 2 such functions.

⇒ If n=2 then domain is {1,2} then there are 2 choices for first element in domain.

Then, since one choice is taken there is one choice for second element in the domain. So, if n=2 we have 2×1 = 2 functions.

⇒ If value of n is greater than 2 then domain will be {1,2,....n} then only two value of this domain will be mapped to codomain {0,1} to provide a one-to-one function and

So, domain will not be used fully so there does not exist any one-to-one function.

Part(b) : Every element in the domain {1, 2, . . . , n} has two options in  codomain {0, 1},

So, there are total of "2n" functions from domain to co-domain.

Since, the function assigns 0 to both 1 and n.

There are "n-2" elements left in domain which can be assigned 0 or 1.

So, for "n-2" elements in domain and there are "2ⁿ⁻²" functions from domain to codomain.

Part(c) : The domain set has "n" elements and codomain set has "2" elements.

So, each of "n" elements from domain has 2 choices in function and thus we get "2n" total functions.

There are "n-1" elements less than "n" in domain.

Now, by the condition that exactly "1" positive-integer less than "n" maps to "1".

So, all other remaining less than n (i.e. n-2) must be map to 0.

We find this number in ⁿ⁻²C₁ ways = n-2;

So, total number of ways in which elements less than "n" can be mapped is = n-2(mapped to 0) +1(mapped to 1) = n-1

Also, "n" can be mapped to either "0" or "1" which means., nth element have two-choices.

So, there are 2.(n-1) possible functions.

Answer:

Sarah earns R6 100 in total for her work to the value of R12 000.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate Sarah's earnings, we need to break down her income into two parts: the commission she earns on income up to R5 000, and the bonus commission she earns on income above R5 000.

Commission on income up to R5 000:

Sarah's basic salary is R3 000 per month, and she earns 20% commission on income up to R5 000. So for the first R5 000 of income, Sarah's commission is:

[tex]\text{Commission on income up to} \ R5, 000 = 20\% \ \text{of} \ R5, 000 = R1 ,000[/tex]

Bonus commission on income above R5 000:

Sarah also receives a 10% bonus on top of the normal commission rate on earning above R5 000. So for the amount earned above R5 000, her commission is:

[tex]\text{Commission on income above} \ R5, 000 = (20\% + 10\%) of (R12, 000 - R5, 000) = 30\% \ \text{of} \ R7, 000 = R2 ,100[/tex]

Total earnings:

Sarah's total earnings are the sum of her basic salary and the commission she earns:

Total earnings = Basic salary + Commission on income up to R5 000 + Commission on income above R5 000

[tex]\text{Total earnings} = R3, 000 + R1 ,000 + R2 ,100[/tex]

[tex]\text{Total earnings} = 6,100[/tex]

Therefore, Sarah earns R6 100 in total for her work to the value of R12 000.

The given double integral can be rewritten as:

[tex]\iint_D 7x \, dA + \iint_D 6y \, dA[/tex]

where  [tex]D$ is the region bounded by $y=\sqrt{x}$ and $y=x^2$.[/tex]

To evaluate this integral, we first check the intersection points of the two curves:

[tex]\sqrt{x} = x^2 \quad \Right arrow \quad x = 0 \text{ or } x =1[/tex]

Therefore, the region  D is shown in the figure below:

region D

Next, we can choose to integrate with respect to [tex]x$ or $y$[/tex]. Since the lower boundary of  D is given by [tex]$y=\sqrt{x}$[/tex]which is a function of [tex]x$,[/tex] we choose to integrate with respect to x first:

[tex]\begin{aligned} \iint_D 7x \, dA &= \int_0^1\int_{\sqrt{x}}^{x^2} 7x \, dydx \\ &= \int_0^1 7x(x^2-\sqrt{x}) \, dx \\ &= \frac{56}{15} \end{aligned}[/tex]

Similarly, we can evaluate the other integral:

[tex]\begin{aligned} \iint_D 6y \, dA &= \int_0^1\int_{\sqrt{x}}^{x^2} 6y \, dydx \\ &= \int_0^1 6\left(\frac{x^4-\sqrt{x}}{2}\right) \, dx \\ &= \frac{49}{20} \end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the value of the given double integral is:

[tex]\iint_D (7x+6y) \, dA = \frac{56}{15}+\frac{49}{20} = \frac{191}{60}[/tex]

In summary, we evaluated the given double integral by splitting it into two integrals, integrating with respect to x  first and then with respect to y , over the region bounded by [tex]y=\sqrt{x}$ and $y=x^2$[/tex]. By doing so, we obtained the final value of the integral as [tex]\frac{191}{60}$,[/tex] which represents the total "volume" of [tex]$f(x,y)=7x+6y$[/tex] over the region D.

$50,000 or less is equal to 0.2218.

Annual household income in Maryland follows a normal distribution ,

Median =  $75,847

Standard deviation = $33,800

Probability of household in Maryland has an annual income of $90,000 or more.

Let X be the random variable representing the annual household income in Maryland.

Then,

find P(X ≥ $90,000).

Standardize the variable X using the formula,

Z = (X - μ) / σ

where μ is the mean (or median, in this case)

And σ is the standard deviation.

Substituting the given values, we get,

Z = (90,000 - 75,847) / 33,800

⇒ Z = 0.4187

Using a standard normal distribution table

greater than 0.4187  as 0.3377.

P(X ≥ $90,000)

= P(Z ≥ 0.4187)

= 0.3377

Probability that a household in Maryland has an annual income of $90,000 or more is 0.3377(rounded to four decimal places).

Probability that a household in Maryland has an annual income of $50,000 or less.

P(X ≤ $50,000).

Standardizing X, we get,

Z = (50,000 - 75,847) / 33,800

⇒ Z = -0.7674

Using a standard normal distribution table

Probability that a standard normal variable is less than -0.7674 as 0.2218. This implies,

P(X ≤ $50,000)

= P(Z ≤ -0.7674)

= 0.2218

Probability that a household in Maryland has an annual income of $50,000 or less is 0.2218.

Therefore, the probability with annual income of $90,000 or more and  $50,000 or less is equal to 0.3377 and 0.2218 respectively.

b) The first moment (mean) of X is 3/4.

The second moment (expected value of X^2) of X is 7/8

(a) The moment generating function (MGF) of a random variable X with probability density function f(x) is defined as M(t) = E(e^(tX)), where E(.) denotes the expected value operator. Therefore, the MGF of X is

M(t) = E(e^(tX)) = ∫[0,∞) e^(tx) f(x) dx

Substituting the given probability density function f(x), we get

M(t) = ∫[0,∞) e^(tx) (e^(-2x) + (e^-x)/2) dx

Simplifying and integrating by parts, we get

M(t) = [(1/(2-t)) e^(-2t) + (1/(2-t)) (1/(1+t))] for t<1, and

M(t) = infinity for t>=1

Therefore, the MGF of X is

M(t) =

{ (1/(2-t)) e^(-2t) + (1/(2-t)) (1/(1+t)) if t<1

{ infinity if t>=1

(b) To compute the first moment (i.e., the mean or expected value) of X, we take the first derivative of the MGF at t=0

E(X) = M'(0) = d(M(t))/dt | t=0

Differentiating the MGF and simplifying, we get

E(X) = 3/4

To compute the second moment (i.e., the expected value of X^2), we take the second derivative of the MGF at t=0

Height of type A tree = 36 + 8a

After "a" years, the height of a type B tree will be:

Height of type B tree = 18 + 10a

We must set the two types of trees' heights equal to one another and solve for "a" to determine when they will reach the same height:

36 + 8a = 18 + 10a

Subtracting 8a from both sides, we get:

Answer:

28.05$

Step-by-step explanation:

The game got a discount of 15%.
New price is   (30$) ( 0.85 )  =  25.5$   (since the discount is 15% you only pay for the 85% of the original price)

Then an increase of 10%. this is:
New price:   25.5$ (1.10) = 28.05

New price is 28$ with 5 cents

Answer:

m₆ = 9375

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence is

[tex]m,_i = -3(-5)^{i - 1}[/tex]

To find the 6th term, all you have to do is substitute i = 6 and compute

For i = 6 we get

[tex]m_6 = -3(-5)^{6 - 1}\\= -3(-5)^5\\\\= -3(-3125) \\\\= 9375[/tex]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the temperature readings are normally distributed with a mean of 0°C and a standard deviation of 1.00°C. Let X be the temperature reading of a single thermometer selected at random. Then, X ~ N(0, 1).

We need to find the probability of obtaining a reading less than -2.74°C, which can be expressed mathematically as P(X < -2.74).

Using standard normal distribution tables or a calculator, we can find that the z-score corresponding to -2.74°C is:

z = (x - μ) / σ = (-2.74 - 0) / 1 = -2.74

The probability can be calculated as:

P(X < -2.74) = P(Z < -2.74) ≈ 0.0030 (rounded to 4 decimal places)

Therefore, the probability of obtaining a reading less than -2.74°C is approximately 0.0030.

Answer:

We need to find the probability of obtaining a reading less than -2.74°C from a normal distribution with a mean of 0°C and a standard deviation of 1.00°C.

Using the standard normal distribution, we have:

z = (x - μ) / σ

where:

x = -2.74°C (the reading we want)

μ = 0°C (the mean)

σ = 1.00°C (the standard deviation)

Substituting the values, we get:

z = (-2.74 - 0) / 1.00 = -2.74

Using a standard normal distribution table or calculator, we find that the probability of obtaining a z-score less than -2.74 is approximately 0.0030.

Therefore, the probability of obtaining a reading less than -2.74°C from the batch of thermometers is approximately 0.0030.
