69 athletes are running a race. A gold medal is to be given to the winner, a silver medal is to be
given to the second-place finisher, and a bronze medal is to be given to the third-place finisher.
Assume that there are no ties. In how many possible ways can the 3 medals be distributed?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The order of finishing is important here, therefore you use permutations rather than combinations.  Athlete A winning a gold medal, athlete B silver, and athlete C bronze is not the same as athlete A bronze, athlete B silver and athlete C gold for instance

69P3 = 69! / (69 -3!)

1. Determine the intervals on which each function is increasing or
decreasing
(a) f(x) = x^3 - 11/2x^2 - 4x

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\text{$f(x)$ is increasing for $(-\infty, -\frac{1}{3})$ and $(4, \infty)$} \\ \text{$f(x)$ is decreasing for $(-\frac{1}{3}, 4)$}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function:

[tex]f(x)=x^3-\frac{11}{2}x^2-4x[/tex]

And we want to determine the intervals for which the function is increasing or decreasing.

We will need to first find the critical points of the function. Note that our original function is continuous across the entire x-axis.

To find the critical points, we need to find the first derivative and then solve for the x. So:

[tex]f^\prime(x)=\frac{d}{dx}[x^3-\frac{11}{2}x^2-4x][/tex]

Differentiate:

[tex]f^\prime(x)=(3x^2)-\frac{11}{2}(2x)-(4) \\ f^\prime(x)=3x^2-11x-4[/tex]

Set the derivative equal to 0 and solve for x:

[tex]0=3x^2-11x-4[/tex]

Factor:

[tex]0=3x^2-12x+x-4 \\ 0=3x(x-4)+(x-4) \\ 0=(3x+1)(x-4)[/tex]

Zero Product Property:

[tex]3x+1=0\text{ or } x-4=0 \\ x=-\frac{1}{3}\text{ or } x=4[/tex]

Therefore, our critical points are -1/3 and 4.

We can thus sketch the following number line:

<————-(-1/3)——————————————(4)—————>

Now, let’s test values for the three intervals: less than -1/3, between -1/3 and 4, and greater than 4.

For less then -1/3, we can use -1. So, substitute -1 for x for our first derivative and see which we get:

[tex]f^\prime(-1)=3(-1)^2-11(-1)-4=3+11-4=10>0[/tex]

The result is positive.

Therefore, for all numbers less than -1/3,f(x) is increasing (since its derivative is positive).

For between -1/3 and 4, we can use 0. Substitute 0 for our derivative:

[tex]f^\prime(0)=3(0)^2-11(0)-4=-4<0[/tex]

The result is negative.

Therefore, for all numbers between -1/3 and 4, f(x) is decreasing (since its derivative is negative).

And finally, for greater than 4, we can use 5:

[tex]f^\prime(5)=3(5)^2-11(5)-4=16>0[/tex]

The result is positive.

Therefore, for all numbers greater than 4, f(x) is increasing (since its derivative is positive.

Therefore:

[tex]\text{$f(x)$ is increasing for $x<-\frac{1}{3}$ and $x>4$}\\ \text{ $f(x)$ is decreasing for $-\frac{1}{3}<x<4$}[/tex]

In interval notation:

[tex]\text{$f(x)$ is increasing for $(-\infty, -\frac{1}{3})$ and $(4, \infty)$} \\ \text{$f(x)$ is decreasing for $(-\frac{1}{3}, 4)$}[/tex]

y= -2x+8
what is the value of y when 0 is the value of x?

Answers

Value of y is 8 because if x is zero than zero times anything is zero and you have 8 left over

Not sure what you mean but will be explaining about y = 0 and x =0 anyway.

So for x = 0, that means the value of x is 0.

y = -2(0)+8

y=0+8

y=8

So when x = 0, the value of y is 8 (y = 8) or we can write (0,8)

For y = 0, that means the value of y is 0.

0=-2x+8

-8=-2x

-2x=-8

x=4

So when y = 0, x = 4. We can write as (4,0)

Answers

Answer:

what is

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample proportion of the teenagers 13 to 17 years of age who use social media​ is 0.236.

What is a Sample Proportion?

Sample proportion is defined as the proportion of something from a given sample which has a particular characteristic.

The formula to calculate the sample proportion is,

p = Number of successes in a particular sample / Sample size

Given that,

a random sample of n = 330 teenagers 13 to 17 years of age was asked if they use social media.

Sample size = 330

Of those surveyed, 252 stated that they do use social media.

We have to find the proportion of teenagers 13 to 17 years of age who use social media​.

Number of failures = 252

Number of successes = 330 - 252 = 78

Sample proportion = 78 / 330 = 0.236

Hence the sample proportion is 0.236.

Michael wants to purchase a jeep. The purchase price of the Jeep is $37,000. The
dealership will allow him to pay cash or finance the Jeep with a down payment of
$5,000.00 and 60 monthly payments of $625.00. Michael chose to finance the jeep.
Answer the following questions.
a) What is the amount financed?
b) What is the total amount of monthly payments?
C} What is the amount of the finance charge?

Answers

Answer:

A) $32,000 B) $37,500 C) $5,500

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of jeep: $37,000

Michael uses $5,000 of his own money toward that total $37,000-$5,000= $32,000

Monthly payments $625.00×60months=$37,500

After paying $5,000 of his own money, & bringing theamount owed to $32,000. Michael still has to pay back $37,500. Making, the finance chardge $5,500. ($37,500-$32,000= $5,500)

Amount financed =  $32000, total amount of monthly payment = $37500 and total amount of the finance charge = $5500.

What is dealership finance ?

"Dealer financing is a type of loan that is originated by a retailer to its customers and then sold to a bank or other third-party financial institution. The bank purchases these loans at a discount and then collects principle and interest payments from the borrower. This is also called an indirect loan."

According to the question,

Given,

Price of jeep = $37000

Down payment = $5000

Total number of monthly payment = 60

Amount to be paid after down payment

= $37000 - $5000

= $32000                                                  ____( 1 )

Amount paid in Monthly payments = $625.00 × 60months

                                                          = $37500          ____( 2 )

From ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) we get,

Finance charge amount = Total monthly amount - Total amount financed

                                        = $37500 - $32000                                    

                                        = $5500

Hence, amount financed , total amount monthly payment and total amount of the finance charge is $32000 , $37500 and $5500.

Determine an expression for dy
dx given that x = sin3
(t)andy = cos3
(t)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{dy}{dx} =-\sqrt[3]{\frac{y}{x} }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that using the chain rule we can state:

[tex]\frac{dy}{dt} =\frac{dy}{dx}*\frac{dx}{dt}[/tex]

and therefore solve for dy/dx as long as dx/dt is different from zero.

Then we find dy/dt  and dx/dt,

Given that

[tex]x=sin^3(t)\\dx/dt = 3 sin^2(t)* cos(t)[/tex]

And similarly:

[tex]y=cos^3(t)\\dy/dt=-3\,cos^2(t)*sin(t)[/tex]

Therefore, dy/dx can be determined by the quotient of the expressions we just found:

[tex]\frac{dy}{dx} =\frac{dy/dt}{dx/dt} =\frac{-3\,cos^2(t)*sin(t)}{3\,sin^2(t)*cos(t)} =-\frac{cos(t)}{sin(t)}[/tex]

now notice that we can find   [tex]cos(t) = \sqrt[3]{y}[/tex]  from the expression for y,

and   [tex]sin(t) = \sqrt[3]{x}[/tex]  from its expression for x.

Therefore dy/dx can be written in terms of x and y as:

[tex]\frac{dy}{dx} =-\frac{cos(t)}{sin(t)}=-\sqrt[3]{\frac{y}{x} }[/tex]
