the product of the ages of a father and his son is 576.if the father is 18 years younger than 5 times his son .how old is each?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]F = 45.4[/tex]

[tex]S = 12.68[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent the sons age with S and the father's age with F

[tex]S * F = 576[/tex]

[tex]F = 5S - 18[/tex]

Required

Determine F and S

Substitute 5S - 18 for F in the first equation

[tex]S * (5S - 18) = 576[/tex]

Open Bracket

[tex]5S\² - 18S = 576[/tex]

Equate to 0

[tex]5S\² - 18S - 576 = 0[/tex]

Solve using quadratic formula:

[tex]S = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

Where

[tex]a = 5[/tex]

[tex]b = -18[/tex]

[tex]c = -576[/tex]

[tex]S = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

[tex]S = \frac{-(-18)\±\sqrt{(-18)^2 - 4*5*-576}}{2 * 5}[/tex]

[tex]S = \frac{18\±\sqrt{324 + 11520}}{10}[/tex]

[tex]S = \frac{18\±\sqrt{11844}}{10}[/tex]

[tex]S = \frac{18\±\108.8}{10}[/tex]

[tex]S = \frac{18+108.8}{10}[/tex] or [tex]S = \frac{18-108.8}{10}[/tex]

[tex]S = \frac{126.8}{10}[/tex]  or [tex]S = \frac{-90.8}{10}[/tex]

[tex]S = 12.68[/tex] or [tex]S = -9.08[/tex]

Since, age can't be negative.

We have that:

[tex]S = 12.68[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]F = 5S - 18[/tex]

[tex]F = 5 * 12.68 - 18[/tex]

[tex]F = 45.4[/tex]

Hence:

The father is 45 years old and the son is 13 years old (Approximated)

The capacities (in ampere-hours) were measured for a sample of 120 batteries. The average was 178 and the standard deviation was 12. Find a 95% lower confidence bound for the mean capacity of this type of battery. Round the answer to two decimal places. The lower confidence bound is .

Answers

Answer: A 95% lower confidence bound for the mean capacity of this type of battery = 175.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The capacities were measured for a sample : n= 120 batteries.

[tex]\overline{x}=178[/tex] and  [tex]\sigma=12[/tex]

lower confidence bound= [tex]\overline{x}-z^c\times\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

Critical z value for 9%% confidence = 1.96

So,  a 95% lower confidence bound for the mean capacity of this type of battery will be :

[tex]178-(1.96)\dfrac{12}{\sqrt{120}}\\\\=178-(1.96)(1.0954451)\\\\=(1.96)(1.0954451)\approx175.85[/tex]

Hence, a 95% lower confidence bound for the mean capacity of this type of battery = 175.85

The amount dispensed by a soft-drink dispensing machine has a normal distribution with mean μ and standard deviation 0.155 ounce. The mean amount dispensed, μ , can be controlled. At what value should μ be set so that a 16 ounce cup will overflow with probability 0.01? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answers

Answer: [tex]\mu=15.64[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be a random variable that represent the amount dispensed by a soft-drink dispensing machine which has a normal distribution with mean μ and standard deviation [tex]\sigma=[/tex] 0.155 ounce.

To find : μ such that P(X>16)=0.01

Consider  P(X>16)=0.01

[tex]P(\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\dfrac{16-\mu}{0.155})=0.01[/tex]

Since, [tex]Z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

Also, z-table , one -tailed z-value for p-value of 0.01= 2.326

Then, [tex]\dfrac{16-\mu}{0.155}=2.326[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow {16-\mu}=0.155\times2.326\\\\\Rightarrow {16-\mu}=0.36053\\\\\Rightarrow\ \mu=16-0.36053=15.63947\approx15.64\\\\\Rightarrow\ \mu=15.64[/tex]

Find the divergence of each of the following vector fields at all points where they are defined. (a) div(x(x2 y2 z2)1.5i y(x2 y2 z2)1.5j z(x2 y2 z2)1.5k)

Answers

Answer: the divergence of the vector fields at all points its defined is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

div ( [x / (x²+ y² + z²)^1.5]i  +  [y / (x² + y² + z²)^1.5]j  +  [z / (x² + y² + z²)^1.5]k )

= d/dx [x / (x²+ y² + z²)^1.5]  +  d/dx [y / (x² + y² + z²)^1.5] +  d/dx [z / (x² + y² + z²)^1.5]

= [1 / (x²+ y² + z²)^1.5] - [3x² / (x²+ y² + z²)^2.5] + [1 / (x²+ y² + z²)^1.5] - [3y² / (x²+ y² + z²)^2.5] + [1 / (x²+ y² + z²)^1.5] - [3z² / (x²+ y² + z²)^2.5]

= [3 / (x²+ y² + z²)^1.5]  -  [(3x² + 3y² +3z²) / (x²+ y² + z²)^2.5]

= [2 / (x²+ y² + z²)^1.5]   -   [3 / (x²+ y² + z²)^1.5]  = 0

therefore the divergence of the vector fields at all points its defined is 0

g The probability of rolling a single die and obtaining a two is one-sixth. The probability of rolling a single die and obtaining a five is one-sixth. What is the probability of rolling a single die and obtaining either a two or a five

Answers

Answer:

33.33% or [tex]\frac{2}{6}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A single die has a total of six different possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Since the numbers two and five are only two of the six possible outcomes that means that the possibility of getting one of these two numbers on a single roll is [tex]\frac{2}{6}[/tex] . If we divide this fraction and multiply the result by 100 (0.333 * 100 = 33.33) we see that there is a 33.33% chance of you rolling either a two or a five.

A manufacture has been selling 1300 television sets a week at $390 each. A market survey indicates that for each $25 rebate offered to a buyer, the number of sets sold will increase by 250 per week. a) Find the demand function p ( x ) , where x is the number of the television sets sold per week.

Answers

Answer:

P = - 0.1x+520

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the demand function p ( x ) , where x is the number of the television sets sold per week.

each $25 rebate offered to the buyer, the number of sets sold will increase by 250 , hence slope = -25/250 = -1/10 Equation will be

P-390/x-1300 = -25/250

Cross multiplying

250(P-390) = -25(x-1300)

250p-97500 = -25x+32500

250p = -25x+32500+97500

250p = -25x + 130000

Divide both sides by 250

250p/250 = (25x + 130000)/250

P = - 0.1x+520

Hence, the demand function p(x) is

= - 0.1x+520

The area of a shape is the amount of space on the shape.

The best approximation for the area of the figure is [tex]14 + 16.25\pi[/tex]

How to determine the area of the figure

Start by calculating the diameter of the semicircle using the following distance formula:

[tex]d = \sqrt{(x_2 -x_1)^2 +(y_2 -y_1)^2}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]d = \sqrt{(-4 -3)^2 +(-2 -2)^2}[/tex]

[tex]d = \sqrt{65}[/tex]

Divide by 2, to calculate the radius

[tex]r = \frac{\sqrt{65}}{2}[/tex]

So, the area of the semicircle is:

[tex]A = \frac{\pi r^2}{2}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]A = \pi (\frac{\sqrt{65}}{2})^2[/tex]

[tex]A = \frac{65}{4}\pi[/tex]

[tex]A = 16.25\pi[/tex]

Next, we calculate the area of the triangle using:

[tex]A = 0.5 * B * H[/tex]

Where:

[tex]B = 3 -(-4)[/tex]

[tex]B = 7[/tex]

[tex]H= 2 - (-2)[/tex]

[tex]H = 4[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]A = 0.5 * 7 * 4[/tex]

[tex]A = 14[/tex]

The area of the figure is then calculated as:

[tex]A = 14 + 16.25\pi[/tex]

Hence, the best approximation for the area of the figure is [tex]14 + 16.25\pi[/tex]
