Bill has these expenditures for his utilities: December,
$234.45; January, $281.23; February, $284.33. What is his
average monthly expense for utilities?

Answers

Answer 1

The average monthly expenses for Bill's utilities is $266.67.

It is given in the question that:-

Expenditure in December by Bill = $ 234.45

Expenditure in January by Bill = $ 281.23

Expenditure in February by Bill = $ 284.33

We have to find the average monthly expenses for Bill's utilities.

We know that,

Average monthly expense for utilities = (Expenditure in December + Expenditure in January + Expenditure in February)/3

Hence, using the data given in the question, we can write,

Average monthly expense for utilities = (234.45 + 281.23 + 284.33)/3

Average monthly expense for utilities = 800.01/3 =  $266.67

Solve for the hypotenuse and then determine the ratios below (show all work)

Answers

hypotenuse=29

[tex]\sin x=\frac{20}{29}[/tex]

[tex]\cos y=\frac{20}{29}[/tex]

Explanation

Step 1

a) hypotenuse

to find the hypotenuse we can use the Pythagorean theorem ,it statse that the sum of the squares on the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square on the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)

so

[tex]\begin{gathered} 21^2+20^2\text{= hypotenuse}^2 \\ 441+400=\text{ hypotenuse}^2 \\ 841=\text{hypotenuse}^2 \\ taking\text{ the square root in both sides} \\ \sqrt{841}=\sqrt{(hypotenuse)^2} \\ 29=hypotenuse \end{gathered}[/tex]

so

hypotenuse=29

Step 2

now, sin x

the sin of an angle is the ratio of the opposite side ( the one in front of the angel) to the hypotenuse

[tex]\sin\theta=\frac{opposite\text{ side}}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

hence, replace

[tex]\sin x=\frac{20}{29}[/tex]

Step 3

finally, cos of y

the cos of an angle is the ratio of the adjancent side( the side the makes the angle) to the hypotenuse

[tex]cos\theta=\frac{adjacent\text{ side}}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

so,replace

[tex]\cos y=\frac{20}{29}[/tex]

By what factor does the population grow every 2 years? Use rhis information to fill out the table.By what factor does the population grow every year? explain how you know, and use this information to complete the table.

Answers

From the table, we see that:

• Year 0 has a population of 10,

,

• Year 2 has a population of 20.

So after two years, the population of fish is doubled.

1) By year 4, we will have double the population of year 2, so the population will be 2*20 = 40.

2) To function that describes the growth of the population is:

[tex]P(t)=P_0\cdot r^t._{}[/tex]

Where P_0 is the initial population and r is the growth factor.

We know that after two years, the population of fish is doubled:

[tex]P(t+2)=2\cdot P(t)\text{.}[/tex]

Using the formula above evaluated in t + 2, we have:

[tex]P(t+2)=P_0\cdot r^{t+2}=(P_0\cdot r^t)\cdot r^2=P(t)\cdot r^2[/tex]

Equalling the last two equations, we have:

[tex]P(t+2)=2\cdot P(t)=P(t)\cdot r^2\text{.}[/tex]

Solving for r the last equation, we have:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2=r^2, \\ r=\sqrt[]{2}\text{.} \end{gathered}[/tex]

So the growth factor is r = √2.

Two people out of a group of 75 will win tickets to an upcoming concert. How many different groups of two are possible?

Answers

To calculate the combinations of groups of 2, since the order doesn't matter, we can use combination. In this case we have a total of 75 to choose from and will choose 2, so this is "75 choose 2".

The equation to use is (n choose k):

[tex]C(n,k)=\frac{n!}{(n-k)!k!}[/tex]

In this case, we have n = 75 and k = 2, so:

[tex]C(75,2)=\frac{75!}{73!2!}[/tex]

For the property of factorials, 75! / 73! = 75*74, because the terms less or equal 73 cancel out. so:

[tex]C(75,2)=\frac{75\cdot74}{2!}=\frac{75\cdot74}{2}=75\cdot\frac{74}{2}=75\cdot37=2775[/tex]

So, there are 2775 different groups of 2 in this case.

Another way of doing this calculation is by thinking of choosing one at a time.

At first, we can choose from 75 possible people, so we start at 75.

When we choose the second one, we already picked the first, so there are only 74 people left. So we get:

[tex]75\cdot74[/tex]

This are the two first people, but, in this way we are considering too many groups, since here we considere the order matter, to fix this we divide by k!, where k is the number of picks, which is 2 in this case (so, permutation of 2). So:

[tex]\frac{75}{2}\frac{74}{1}=\frac{75\cdot74}{2}=2775[/tex]

Find the coordinates of the stationary points of the curve and use the secondderivative to determine the type of each.

Answers

Calculate the derivative of the function, as shown below

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=3x+\frac{108}{x}=3x+108x^{-1} \\ \Rightarrow y^{\prime}=3+108((-1)x^{-1-1})=3-108x^{-2} \\ \Rightarrow y^{\prime}=3-108x^{-2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Set y'=0 and solve for x, as shown below

[tex]\begin{gathered} y^{\prime}=0 \\ \Rightarrow3-108x^{-2}=0,x\ne0 \\ \Rightarrow3=\frac{108}{x^2} \\ \Rightarrow x^2=\frac{108}{3} \\ \Rightarrow x^2=36 \\ \Rightarrow x=\pm\sqrt[]{36} \\ \Rightarrow x=\pm6 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Their corresponding y-coordinates are

[tex]\begin{gathered} x=\pm6 \\ \Rightarrow y=3(6)+\frac{108}{6}=18+18=36 \\ \Rightarrow(6,36) \\ \text{and} \\ 3(-6)+\frac{108}{-6}=-18-18=-36 \\ \Rightarrow(-6,36) \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the two stationary points are (6,36) and (-6,-36).

Using the second derivative test,

[tex]\begin{gathered} y^{\prime}=3-108x^{-2} \\ \Rightarrow y^{\doubleprime}=-108(-2x^{-2-1})=216x^{-3} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Then,

[tex]\begin{gathered} y^{\doubleprime}(6)=\frac{216}{(6)^3}=1>0\to\text{ local minimum at x=6} \\ \text{and} \\ y^{\doubleprime}(-6)=\frac{216}{(-6)^3}=-1<0\to\text{ local maximum at x=-6} \end{gathered}[/tex]

(6,36) is a local minimum and (-6,-36) is a local maximum.

And, arranging the numbers from least to greatest will give;

[tex]\frac{-9}{2},-3,\frac{1}{6},\sqrt{5},4.6[/tex]

Explanation:

We want to arrange the number given below from least to greatest;

[tex]\frac{1}{6},-3,\frac{-9}{2},\sqrt{5},4.6[/tex]

From the list of numbers, let us simplify each of them to their approximate decimal.

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{6}=0.1667 \\ -3 \\ \frac{-9}{2}=-4.5 \\ \sqrt{5}=2.236 \\ 4.6 \end{gathered}[/tex]

From the given number, the highest negative number will be the least number.

Because the higher a negative number the lower it becomes.

The highest negative is -4.5 followed by -3.

So, arranging from the least to the greatest we have;

[tex]-4.5,-3,0.1667,2.236,4.6[/tex]

Rewriting it in its initial form we have;

[tex]\frac{-9}{2},-3,\frac{1}{6},\sqrt{5},4.6[/tex]

Therefore, The number that comes first when the numbers are listed from least to greatest is;

[tex]\frac{-9}{2}[/tex]

And, arranging the numbers from least to greatest will give;

[tex]\frac{-9}{2},-3,\frac{1}{6},\sqrt{5},4.6[/tex]
