Answer 1

If Ahmad took 200 mg of medication and the function [tex]f(t) = 200e^{-0.4t}[/tex] can be used to determine the amount of medication, then He will have only 50 mg of medication left in his system after (c) 3.47 hours .

The Function that is used to determine the amount of medication, f(t), still in his system after t hours. is given as [tex]f(t) = 200e^{-0.4t}[/tex] ,

we have to find the after how many hours there will be only 50 mg of medication left ;

we need to substitute f(t) as 50 ;

we get ;

⇒ [tex]50 = 200e^{-0.4t}[/tex] ;

⇒ [tex]\frac{50}{200} =e^{-0.4t}[/tex] ;

⇒ [tex]\frac{1}{4} =e^{-0.4t}[/tex]

On solving further ,

we get ;

⇒ [tex]t=3.4657..[/tex] hours ;

So , t≈ 3.47 hours .

Therefore , After 3.47 hours there will be 50 mg of medication left .

Answers

The probability that 3 or more copies will be demanded in a particular day is 0.64.

What is probability?

Simply put, probability is the likelihood that something will occur. When we don't know how an event will turn out, we can discuss the likelihood or likelihood of several outcomes. Statistics is the study of events that follow a probability distribution.

The probability for 3 or more copies to be demanded is the sum of all the probability distributions for 3 or more copies demanded per day.

This can be written in an equational form -

P(x) = 0.14 + 0.12 + 0.10 + 0.08 + 0.07 + 0.06 + 0.04 +0.03

P(x) = 0.64

Therefore, the probability is 0.64.

How do you translate coordinate points on a graph?

Answers

The translation of the coordinate points on the graph by linear displacement in comparison of original points ( x , y ) get translated to     ( x + h,  y + k ) where h ∈R , k ∈R.

As given in the question,

Let us consider original coordinate point on a given graph be ( x ,y ).

Translation represents the change in the linear displacement or the location without changing the shape and size.

Shift of the point may be horizontally or vertically.

Let 'h' and 'k' be the horizontal and vertical shift.

If the horizontal shift is right then it is represented by x + h

If the horizontal shift is left then it is represented by x - h

If the vertical shift is up then it is represented by y +k

If the vertical shift is down then it is represented by y - k.

Therefore, the translation of the coordinate points on a given graph represented by original points ( x , y ) get translated to ( x + h,  y + k ) where h ∈R , k ∈R.

Two angles are equal sized;

Let the angle = x

Third angle = 12 smaller than first, x - 12

The measure of the third angle ;

Sum of angles in a triangle = 180°

First + second + third angle = 180°

x + x + (x - 12) = 180

2x + x - 12 = 180

3x = 180 - 12

3x = 168°

x = 56°

y = sin 3t. 3t is measured in radians.
The tasks are to:
a) Draw a graph of the displacement y against time t
for the time t = 0s to t = 2.s.
b)
Identify the position of any turning points and
whether they are maxima, minima or points of
inflexion.
c) Calculate the turning points of the function using
differential calculus and show which are maxima,

Compare your results from parts b and c.

Answers

The graph is attached and  the point of maximum as y"(π/6) < 0 and at point of minimum y"(π/2) > 0.

What is turning point and inflexion point?

An inflection point is where a graph's curvature changes, from concave up to concave down or vice versa. It is also known as a turning point, flex, inflection, or "point of diminishing returns."

A concave down graph resembles an upside-down U or a cap, while a concave up graph resembles the letter U (or a "cup"). The intersection of a "cup" and a "cap" marks the inflection point.

Given displacement of mass by function,

y = sin(3t), where 3t is in radians,

the graph for t = 0 and t = 2 sec.

2: The position of turning point,

differentiate the equation we get,

y' = 3cos(3t)

the turning points are t = π/6 and t = π/2

y'(π/6) = y'(π/2) = 0

3: inflexion points,

again differentiate the equation we get,

y" = -9sin(3t)

and inflection at π/3

because y"(π/3) = 0

Maximum and minimum points are π/6 and π/2 respectively,

as the point of maximum t = π/6 as y"(π/6) < 0,

and point of minimum at t = π/2 as y"(π/2) > 0.

Hence the graph is attached and maximum at t = π/6, and minimum at t = π/2, and inflection at π/3.

A drum of oil has a height of 4 feet and a radius of 1.2 feet. The oil cost $22 per cubic feet. What is the cost to fill the drum of oil

Answers

The cost of oil to fill the drum with height of 4 feet and a radius of 1.2 feet will be $397.90.

What is cubic feet?

An understanding of the different dimensions is necessary to truly understand cubic feet, how big a cubic foot is, and how to measure cubic feet. There are three known dimensions which include a foot measurement. The dimensions expand to include additional measurements with each new dimension.

The cubic foot is an imperial and US customary unit of volume, used in the United States and the United Kingdom. It is defined as the volume of a cube with sides of one foot in length. Its volume is 28.3168 L. At 60 °F, a cubic foot of water weighs 62.37 pounds. A cubic foot (abbreviated as cu ft. or cubic ft.) is an imperial unit of measurement for the volume of a space or three-dimensional object.

Given: A drum of oil has a height of 4 feet and a radius of 1.2 feet. Oil cost has been given as $22 per cubic feet.

We have to calculate the cost to fill the drum with oil.

Since formula to get the volume of the drum is V = πr²h

V = 3.14×(1.2)²×4 = 18.09 feet³

Now the cost of oil to fill the drum will be

Cost = Volume × cost = 18.09×22 = $397.90

Read chapter 1, The Prison-Door, from The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne and answer the question that follows.A throng of bearded men, in sad-colored garments and gray, steeple-crowned hats, intermixed with women, some wearing hoods, and others bareheaded, was assembled in front of a wooden edifice, the door of which was heavily timbered with oak, and studded with iron spikes.The founders of a new colony, whatever Utopia of human virtue and happiness they might originally project, have invariably recognized it among their earliest practical necessities to allot a portion of the virgin soil as a cemetery, and another portion as the site of a prison. In accordance with this rule, it may safely be assumed that the forefathers of Boston had built the first prison-house, somewhere in the vicinity of Cornhill, almost as seasonably as they marked out the first burial-ground, on Isaac Johnsons lot, and round about his grave, which subsequently became the nucleus of all the congregated sepulchres in the old church-yard of Kings Chapel. Certain it is, that, some fifteen or twenty years after the settlement of the town, the wooden jail was already marked with weather-stains and other indications of age, which gave a yet darker aspect to its beetle-browed and gloomy front. The rust on the ponderous iron-work of its oaken door looked more antique than anything else in the New World. Like all that pertains to crime, it seemed never to have known a youthful era. Before this ugly edifice, and between it and the wheel-track of the street, was a grass-plot, much overgrown with burdock, pig-weed, apple-peru, and such unsightly vegetation, which evidently found something congenial in the soil that had so early borne the black flower of civilized society, a prison. But, on one side of the portal, and rooted almost at the threshold, was a wild rose-bush, covered, in this month of June, with its delicate gems, which might be imagined to offer their fragrance and fragile beauty to the prisoner as he went in, and to the condemned criminal as he came forth to his doom, in token that the deep heart of Nature could pity and be kind to him.This rose-bush, by a strange chance, has been kept alive in history; but whether it had merely survived out of the stern old wilderness, so long after the fall of the gigantic pines and oaks that originally overshadowed it,or whether, as there is fair authority for believing, it had sprung up under the footsteps of the sainted Ann Hutchinson, as she entered the prison-door,we shall not take upon us to determine. Finding it so directly on the threshold of our narrative, which is now about to issue from that inauspicious portal, we could hardly do otherwise than pluck one of its flowers, and present it to the reader. It may serve, let us hope, to symbolize some sweet moral blossom, that may be found along the track, or relieve the darkening close of a tale of human frailty and sorrow.This opening chapter does all of the following EXCEPTA.establish the time period of the novelB.establish the geographaphical location of the novelC.establish the seasonD.introduce the novels themeE.introduce the main character Describe common qualities that consumers expect of their food.
