In a certain country, a letter up to 1 ounce requires postage in the amount of $0.42, and each additional ounce (or fraction of

an ounce) has an additional cost. The function below represents the cost of mailing one letter in this country. Josiah has two letters. The first weighs 2.9 ounces, and the second weighs 4.1 ounces. What is the total amount Josiah can expect to pay for postage?

The total postage is $1.84. To explain: a letter weighing up to 1 ounce costs $0.42 to send, and there are additional charges for each extra ounce (or fraction thereof). For Josiah's two letters, the fees are calculated based on their weights.

Two of the steps in the derivation of the quadratic formula are shown below. Step 6: StartFraction b squared minus 4 a c Over 4
babunello [11306]

Explanation:

Step-by-step clarification:

Referring to step 6

(b² — 4ac) / 4a² = (x + b/2a)²

The mistake in the question is that it should be (x + b/2a)²

According to step 7

±√(b² —4ac) /2a = x + b/2a

The error in the question is that it should be divided by 2a, not 1a.

1. The transition from step 6 to step 7 involves taking the square roots of both sides

(b² — 4ac) / 4a² = (x + b/2a)²

Taking the square of both sides

√(b²—4ac) / √4a² = √(x + b/2a)²

√(b²—4ac) / 2a = x + b/2a

This forms step 7 correctly.

Next, subtracting b/2a from both sides

√(b²—4ac) / 2a - b/2a= x + b/2a -b/2a

√(b²—4ac) / 2a — b/2a = x

(√(b²—4ac)  — b)/2a = x

x = [—b ± √(b²—4ac)] / 2a

This gives the desired formula.

The discriminant is D = b²—4ac.

Leona [12105]

Answer:

Hello! Your question appears to be missing details; here is the complete version

Ix = 0   Ux = \sqrt{y-9z^2}

Iz = 0   Uz = \frac{\sqrt{y} }{3}

Iy = 5   Uy = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Ix = 0   Ux = \sqrt{y-9z^2}

Iz = 0   Uz = \frac{\sqrt{y} }{3}

Iy = 5   Uy = 10

WNAE, an all-news AM station, finds that the distribution of the lengths of time listeners are tuned to the station follows the
Inessa [12141]

Answer:

a) P(X>20)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{20-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{20-15}{3.5})=P(z>1.43)

The probability can be determined using the complement rule, with the standard normal distribution, an excel sheet, or a calculator.

P(z>1.43)=1-P(z

b) P(X

This probability can also be calculated using the normal standard distribution, an excel sheet, or a calculator.

P(z

c) P(

For this one, the probability can likewise be derived from the standard normal distribution, excel, or a calculator, with specific adjustments:

P(-1.43

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution refers to a symmetric probability distribution centered around the mean, indicating that occurrences near the mean are more common than those far from it.

The Z-score is a statistic that represents a value's relationship to the average of a set of values, expressed in terms of how many standard deviations it is away from the mean.

Part a

Let X denote the random variable representing the lengths within a population, and for our case, the distribution for X is as follows:

X \sim N(15,3.5)

Where \mu=15 and \sigma=3.5

We seek the probability:

P(X>20)

The most effective way to solve this is by leveraging the normal distribution and the corresponding Z-score:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

By applying this formula, we can find the probability:

P(X>20)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{20-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{20-15}{3.5})=P(z>1.43)

Again, this probability can be obtained either using the complement rule, the standard normal distribution, or a calculator.

P(z>1.43)=1-P(z

Part b

P(X

This probability can also be computed using either the normal standard distribution, an excel sheet, or a calculator.

P(z

Part c

P(

In this case, the probability can similarly be acquired with the help of the standard normal distribution, an excel sheet, or a calculator, with particular adjustments:

P(-1.43

Tim wants to build a rectangular fence around his yard. He has 42 feet of fencing. If he wants the length to be twice the width,
babunello [11306]

Response:

Dimensions of the rectangular fence:

x = 14 ft

w = 7 ft

A = 98 ft²

Detailed explanation:

Dimensions of the rectangular fence:

x = length, and w = width

Then x = 2*w ⇒ w = x/2

Perimeter is

p = 2*x + 2*w

p = 2*x + 2* x/2

p = 2*x + x

3*x = 42

x = 14 ft and w = 14/2  ⇒ w = 7 ft
