The rate (in mg carbon/m3/h) at which photosynthesis takes place for a species of phytoplankton is modeled by the function P = 110I I2 + I + 4 where I is the light intensity (measured in thousands of foot-candles). For what light intensity is P a maximum? I = thousand foot-candles

Answers

Answer 1

Using the vertex of a quadratic equation, it is found that P is at a maximum for l = -0.5 thousand foot-candles.

What is the vertex of a quadratic equation?

A quadratic equation is modeled by:

[tex]y = ax^2 + bx + c[/tex]

The vertex is given by:

[tex](x_v, y_v)[/tex]

In which:

[tex]x_v = -\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]

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

Considering the coefficient a, we have that:

If a < 0, the vertex is a maximum point.If a > 0, the vertex is a minimum point.

In this problem, the function for P is given by:

[tex]P(l) = \frac{110l}{l^2 + l + 4}[/tex]

The function will be at a maximum when the denominator is at a minimum. The denominator is a quadratic function with coefficients a = 1, b = 1, c = 4, hence:

[tex]l_v = -\frac{b}{2a} = -\frac{1}{2} = -0.5[/tex]

P is at a maximum for l = -0.5 thousand foot-candles.

A square pyramid has a volume of 1024 cm3. If one edge of the square base is 16 cm, find the height.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

v = 1/3* L * w * h

1024 = 1/3 * 16 * 16 * height

1024 = 85.3333333 * height

divide both sides by 85.3 to isolate height = 12 cm

To find the answer we need to subtract three on both sides, since we are given a positive three ( + 3) instead of a negative three (- 3) If the equation was " x - 3 = 5 " we would then add three on both sides but in this case we have a positive three.

The lateral area of a cone is 9.81 in. The radius is 1.4 in. Find the slant height.

Answers

Answer:

As Per Provided Information

Lateral area of cone is 9.81 in Radius of cone is 1.4 in

We have been asked to determine the slant height of the cone .

Formula used to calculate the lateral area of a cone is

[tex] \boxed{\bf \: \purple{ Lateral \: Area _{(Cone)} \: = \pi\:rl}}[/tex]

here

l denote slant height

r denote radius

Substituting the value we obtain

Answer:

the answer is 202 square inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Ref. to the diagram I have attached.

First, we can find the area of the square.

Here the side of the square is given 4 inches.

1. So Area of the square= side * side= 4*4= 16 square inches.

Now let's find the area of the smaller rectangle. Now here,

As one side of the square is the same as the breadth of the rectangle, the breadth of the rectangle will be 4 inches, and the length is given 9 inches.

2. So, Area of the smaller rectangle= length* breadth= 9*4= 36 square inches.

Now, lastly, we will find the area of the bigger rectangle:

Here, the length will be 15 inches and the breadth will be 10 inches (as the opposite sides in a rectangle are equal and the values are already given).

3. ∴  Area of bigger rectangle= l*b= 15*10= 150 square inches.

So now,

To find the total area of the figure, we need to add all the areas:

36+ 16+ 150= 202 square in.

ANSWER IS 202 sq. in.

Sophia, a yoga instructor at Yoga for You, selected random samples of 210 students from a nearby high school and 210 students from a nearby college to compare levels of physical fitness. The mean and standard deviation of the fitness levels of the high school students were 82 and 14 respectively. The mean and standard deviation of the fitness levels of the college students were 86 and 17 respectively. She conducted a two-sided t-test with a resulting t-value of 2. 63. Lf a = 0. 05, what is an appropriate conclusion from this study?


Because the sample means only differ by four, the population means are not significantly different.


Because the second group has a larger standard deviation, their mean fitness score is significantly higher.


Because the second group has a larger standard deviation, the mean fitness score of the first group is significantly higher


Because the p-value is greater than a 0. 05, the mean fitness scores for the two groups of students are not significantly different.


Because the p-value is less than a 0. 05, the mean fitness scores for the two groups of students are significantly different

Answers

Answer:  Choice D

Because the p-value is less than 0.05, the mean fitness scores for the two groups of students are significantly different

========================================================

Explanation:

Use a T calculator to find that P(T > 2.63) = 0.00459 approximately when we have 209 degrees of freedom.

Double this to get 2*0.00459 = 0.00918 and this is the approximate p-value

Since the p-value is less than alpha = 0.05, this means we reject the null and conclude that the two population means are significantly different.

Then b + (b + 23) = 207.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the large bottles be x and small bottles be y

4x + 6y = 6.8

x = 0.5 + y

so substituting x in equation 1:

4(0.5 + y) + 6y = 6.8

[tex]\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{1375}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\rightarrow \sf 343\dfrac{3}{4} \ mi[/tex]

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

1 inch = 125 miles

To avoid confusion, let's convert 2 3/4 into decimals. To convert a fraction into decimals, multiply and divide the fraction by 100.

⇒ (2 3/4 x 100)/100 = (11/4 x 100)/100 = (1100/4)/100 = 275/100 = 2.75

Now, multiply 2.75 to both sides of the equation "1 inch = 125 miles", as we need to find the actual distance of 2.75 inches

⇒ 1 inch = 125 miles

⇒ 1 × 2.75 = 125 × 2.75

⇒ 2.75 inches = 343.75 miles

The options given are in fraction form. So, we need to reconvert 343.75 into fraction form. Once again, multiply and divide the decimal by 100.

⇒ (343.75 × 100)/100 = (34375)/100

We can clearly tell that this is a mixed fraction because 34375 is greater than 100. To convert this fraction into mixed fraction, let's write the expanded form of this fraction.

⇒ (34375)/100 = 34000/100 + 300/100 + 75/100

⇒ (343 x 100)/100 + 75/100

⇒ 343 + 75/100 = 343 + 3/4

343 3/4 miles (Option A)

Your answer will be in terms of "x", where "x" is the radius of the circles.

Answers

Answer:

[tex](2\pi -3\sqrt{3})x^2/4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides of the triangle in the middle are equal to x so tis is equilateral triangle.

Its interior angle is 60°.

Each shaded part is the area of 60° segment of circle with the radius x.

The area of each segment is the difference between 60° sector and the area of triangle.

[tex]A_{segment}=A_{sector}-A_{triangle}[/tex]

Area of sector

[tex]A_{sector} = (60/360)*\pi r^2=(1/6)\pi x^2[/tex]

Area of triangle

[tex]A_{triangle}=(\sqrt{3}/4)a^2= (\sqrt{3}/4)x^2[/tex]

The shaded area is

[tex]A = 3((1/6)\pi x^2 - (\sqrt{3} /4)x^2)=((1/2)\pi -3\sqrt{3} /4)x^2=(2\pi -3\sqrt{3})x^2/4[/tex]

Order the steps to solve the equation
log(x^2-15)= log(2x) form 1 to 5

x^2-2x-15=0
Potential solutions are -3 and 5
x^2-15=2x
x-5=0 or x+3=0
(x-5)(x+3)=0

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When the base of a logarithm is not specified, it is assumed that the base is 10. Therefore we have:

[tex]log_1_0(x^2-15)=log_1_0(2x)[/tex]

Intuitively you can see that if the two arguments inside of the logarithm equal each other, then both sides will be equal to each other. Therefore, you can say the following requirement:

[tex]x^2-15=2x[/tex]

Subtract 2x on both sides to get:

[tex]x^2-2x-15=0[/tex]

Use the quadratic formula to solve for 'x' to get:

[tex]x=(-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac} )/2a[/tex]

[tex]x=(-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} )/2a[/tex]

Beginning with the first solution:

[tex]x=(-(-2)+\sqrt{(-2)^2-4(1)(-15)} )/2(1)[/tex]

[tex]x=2+\sqrt{4+60} )/2[/tex]

[tex]x=(2+\sqrt{64}) /2[/tex]

[tex]x=(2+8)/2[/tex]

[tex]x=5[/tex]

Second solution:

[tex]x=(-(-2)-\sqrt{(-2)^2-4(1)(-15)} )/2(1)[/tex]

[tex]x=(2-\sqrt{4+60} )/2[/tex]

[tex]x=(2-8)/2[/tex]

[tex]x=-6/2[/tex]

[tex]x=-3[/tex]

Since the 'x' value inside of the logarith is squared, the -3 is a valid solution. Ordinarily, the log function cannot take on negative values.

The correct function for the given data representation will be,

y = 8x² + 10

What is Function?

A relation between a set of inputs having one output each is called a function.

Data representation is given by the scatterplot in the graph.

Now,

Take a function y = 8x² + 10

Then, Check each point on the x - axis for the value of y - axis.

So. Substitute x = 1 in the function we get;

y = 8 × 1 + 10

y = 8 + 10

y = 18

So, Point is (1, 18)

For, x = 3

y = 8 × 3² + 10

y = 72 +10

y = 82

So, Point is (3, 82)

For, x = 5

y = 8 × 5² + 20

y = 200 + 20

y = 220

So, Point is (5, 220)

Thus, All points are satisfy the given scatterplot graph.

So, The correct function for the given data representation will be,

y = 8x² + 10
