Four new word processing software programs are to be compared by measuring the speed with which various standard tasks can be completed. Before conducting the tests, researchers note that the level of a person’s computer experience is likely to have a large influence on the test results. Discuss how you would design an experiment that fairly compares the word processing programs while simultaneously accounting for possible differences in users’ computer proficiency.

Answer:

X= -12 +6√10

X= 6.973

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the box= (36-2x)(24-2x)x

Volume of the box

=( 864 -96x -4x²)x

But 864 -96x -4x²

=216 - 24x-x²

Solving for x quadratically

X= (24+12√10)/-2

X= -12 -6√10

X= -30.97

Or

X= (24-12√10)/-2

X= -12 +6√10

X= 6.973

X will definitely be a positive number

So X= -12 +6√10

X= 6.973

Increasing or decreasing the side length of the square that gives the

maximum volume, gives a volume that is less than the maximum.

Reasons:

The given dimensions of the box = 24 in. by 36 in.

Let x represent the dimensions of the square removed from the corners, we have;

Width of box = 24 - 2·x

Length of box = 36 - 2·x

Height of the box = x

Volume of a box = Width × Length × Height

Therefore;

Volume of the box, V = (24 - 2·x)·(36 - 2·x)·x = 4·x³ - 120·x² + 864·x

At the maximum or minimum point of the volume, we have;

Which gives;

12·x² - 240·x + 864 = 0

x² - 20·x + 72 = 0

Which gives;

[tex]\displaystyle x = \dfrac{20\pm \sqrt{(-20)^{2}-4\times 1\times 72}}{2\times 1} = \mathbf{10 \pm 2\cdot \sqrt{7}}[/tex]

At x = 10 + 2·√7, we have;

[tex]\displaystyle 10 + 2 \cdot \sqrt{7} > \frac{24}{2}[/tex]

2 × (10 + 2·√7) in. > 24 in. which is the width of the cardboard

Therefore, (10 + 2·√7) is too long to be cut from the cardboard

At x = 10 - 2·√7, we have;

V = 4·(10 - 2·√7)³ - 120·(10 - 2·√7)² + 864·(10 - 2·√7) ≈ 1,828.3

Therefore;

The maximum volume corresponds with a cut out square of side length x = 10 - 2·√7 inches  ≈ 4.71 inches

Answer:

[tex]|x - 85| = 12[/tex]

[tex]x = 73 \ (smaller\ number )[/tex]

[tex]x = 97 \ (larger \ number )[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  grade is  [tex]k = 85\%[/tex]

   The  variation is  [tex]v = 12 \%[/tex]

Generally the absolute value equation is mathematically represented as

        [tex]|x - 85| = 12[/tex]

3 tests at 75% each = 3 x 75 = 225 total points

First two tests = 79 + 84 = 163

Answer:

.8L

Explanation:

Logic

The liters of water left are 0.8 liters.

An equation is a mathematical statement formed when two algebraic expressions are equated using an equal sign.

The equations are useful in the determination of unknown parameters.

The quantity of water in a water bottle is 1 liter.

The amount of water Tom drank is 200 milliliters.

Let x be the amount of water left in the bottle.

The liter has to be converted into milliliters.

1 liters = 1000 milliliters

The equation formed is,

1000 - 200 = x

x = 1000 - 200

x = 800 milliliters.

The water left in the water bottle is 800 milliliters.

1000 milliliters = 1 liters

800 milliliters = 0.8 liters

Find the required diagram to the question in the attachment.

From the diagram it can be seen that the distance of the lines projecting from the centre of the circle to the line segment is equal i,e they are both 8. This means that the length of both chords given will be equal. For the known chord length, it can be seen that the line perpendicular to the chord cuts them at the centre. and since both sides of the chord are parallel, the other sides too will be 10 making the total length to be 10+10 = 20.

Since the length of the known chord is equal to the length of the unknown chord x, hence, the value of x will also be 20

Answer:

(√2 + √6)/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the addition formula

sin (A+ B) = sinAcosB + cosAsinB

sin (7pi/12) =  sin( 3pi/12 + 4pi/12)

= sin(pi/4 + pi/3) =  sin pi/4 cos pi/3 + cos pi/4 sin pi/3

= 1/√2 * 1/2 + 1/√2 * √3/2     (using the 45-45-90 and 30-60-90 triangles)

= 1 / 2√2 + √3/2√2

=   √2/4 + √6/4

Explanation:

2/3 is the probability of passing a test, so 1/3 is the probability of failing

Note how 2/3 and 1/3 add to 3/3 = 1 to represent 100%

The probability of failing 3 tests in a row is (1/3)^3 = (1/3)*(1/3)*(1/3) = 1/27 assuming each test event is independent from one another.

-------

Side note: the probability of passing at least one test is 1-1/27 = 26/27 and the probability of passing all three tests in a row is (2/3)^3 = 8/27

Answer:         n = 3                                              n = 4                

               Upper Sum ≈ 3.41                      Upper Sum ≈ 3.25

               Lower Sum ≈ 2.15                      Lower Sum ≈ 2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

You are trying to find the area under the curve.  Area = height x width.

Height is the y-value at the given coordinate --> f(x)

Width is the distance between the x-values --> dx

n = 3

First, let's figure out dx:  the distance from -1 to +1 is 2 units. We need to divide that into 3 sections because n = 3 --> dx = 2/3

So the points we will evaluate is when x = {-1, -1/3, 1/3, 1}

For the upper sum, we find the max y-value for each interval

For the lower sum, we find the min y-value for each interval

Next, let's find the height for each of the x-values:

f(x) = 1 + x²

f(-1) = 1 + (-1)²   = 2

f(-1/3) = 1 + (-1/3)² = 1 + 1/9 --> 10/9

f(1/3) =  1 + (1/3)² = 1 + 1/9 --> 10/9

f(1) = 1 + (1)²   = 2

Interval         Max                      Min

{-1, -1/3}          f(-1) = 2                   f(-1/3) = 10/9

{-1/3, 1/3}        f(-1/3) = 10/9           f(0) = 1   (vertex lies in this interval)

{1/3, 1}             f(1) = 2                   f(1/3) = 10/9

Now, let's find the Area: A = f(x) dx:

[tex]\text{Upper Sum:}\quad A=\dfrac{2}{3}\bigg(2+\dfrac{10}{9}+2\bigg)\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad =\dfrac{2}{3}\bigg(\dfrac{46}{9}\bigg)\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad =\dfrac{92}{27}\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad =\large\boxed{3.41}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Lower Sum:}\qquad A=\dfrac{2}{3}\bigg(\dfrac{10}{9}+1+\dfrac{10}{9}\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad =\dfrac{2}{3}\bigg(\dfrac{29}{9}\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad =\dfrac{58}{27}\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad =\large\boxed{2.15}[/tex]

*****************************************************************************************

n = 4

First, let's figure out dx:  the distance from -1 to +1 is 2 units. We need to divide that into 4 sections because n = 4 --> dx = 2/4 = 1/2 (simplified)

So the points we will evaluate is when x = {-1, -1/2, 0, 1/2, 1}

For the upper sum, we find the max y-value for each interval

For the lower sum, we find the min y-value for each interval

Next, let's find the height for each of the x-values:

f(x) = 1 + x²

f(-1) = 1 + (-1)²   = 2

f(-1/2) = 1 + (-1/2)² = 1 + 1/4 --> 5/4

f(0) = 1 + (0)² = 1

f(1/2) =  1 + (1/2)² = 1 + 1/4 --> 5/4

f(1) = 1 + (1)²   = 2

Interval         Max                      Min

{-1, -1/2}          f(-1) = 2                   f(-1/2) = 5/4

{-1/2, 0}          f(-1/2) = 5/4            f(0) = 1  

{0, 1/2}           f(1/2) = 5/4             f(0) = 1

{1/2, 1}            f(1) = 2                   f(1/3) = 5/4

Now, let's find the Area: A = f(x) dx:

[tex]\text{Upper Sum:}\qquad A=\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg(2+\dfrac{5}{4}+\dfrac{5}{4}+2\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad =\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg(\dfrac{26}{4}\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad =\dfrac{13}{4}\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad =\large\boxed{3.25}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Lower Sum:}\qquad A=\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg(\dfrac{5}{4}+1+1+\dfrac{5}{4}\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad =\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg(\dfrac{18}{4}\bigg)\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad =\dfrac{9}{4}\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad =\large\boxed{2.25}[/tex]

Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x)= 5-2x and h(x) = - x^2

g(-2) + h(4)

First find g(-2)

g(-2) = 5 -2(-2) = 5 +4 = 9

Then find h(4) = - 4^2 = -16

g(-2) + h(4) = 9-16 = -7

Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute -2 into g(x) equation,

g(x) = 5 - 2x

g(-2) = [5 - 2(-2)] = 9

Substitute 4 into h(x) equation,

h(x) = -x^2

h(4) = [-(4)^2] = -16

Therefore,

g(-2) + h(4) = 9 + (-16) = -7
