To construct a confidence interval for the population proportion of Americans over 40 who smoke, we can use the formula:

Confidence Interval = Sample Proportion ± (Critical Value) x Standard Error

where the sample proportion is the number of individuals who don't smoke divided by the total sample size (806/1089), the critical value can be found using a normal distribution table or calculator with the given confidence level (85%), and the standard error can be calculated using the formula:

Standard Error = √[ (Sample Proportion x (1 - Sample Proportion)) / Sample Size ]

Plugging in the given values, we get:

Sample Proportion = 806/1089 = 0.740
Sample Size = 1089
Standard Error = √[(0.740 x 0.260) / 1089] = 0.016
Critical Value (using a normal distribution table or calculator) = 1.440

Therefore, the 85% confidence interval for the population proportion of Americans over 40 who smoke is:

0.740 ± (1.440 x 0.016) = 0.740 ± 0.023

Rounding to three decimal places, the confidence interval is (0.717, 0.763). This means that we can be 85% confident that the true proportion of Americans over 40 who smoke falls between 71.7% and 76.3%.

The average rate of change of the function g(x)=6x from x=-1 to x=3 is found to be 6.

The function g(x) = 6x describes a relationship between x and the value of 6 times x. We want to find the average rate of change of this function from x = -1 to x = 3. The average rate of change tells us the average amount by which the function changes per unit of change in x over this interval.

In this case, by using the function g(x) = 6x and evaluating it for x = 3 and x = -1, a difference of 18 - (-6) = 24 is found. The difference in x's values is equal to 3 - (-1) = 4. We divide these to get an average rate of change of 6.

The plumber worked for 4.5 hours and charged $138.70 for their services

To find out how many hours the plumber worked, we first need to subtract the initial charge of $14.95 from the total bill of $138.70.

$138.70 - $14.95 = $123.75

This gives us the amount that the plumber charged for the hours worked. Now, we can divide this amount by the hourly rate to find the number of hours:

$123.75 ÷ $27.50 per hour = 4.5 hours

However, we need to convert the decimal part (0.5) into minutes. We can do this by multiplying it by 60:

0.5 x 60 = 30 minutes

But we need to add the initial charge of $14.95 to get the final answer.

4 hours and 30 minutes is equivalent to 4.5 hours.

4.5 hours x $27.50 per hour = $123.75

$123.75 + $14.95 = $138.70

Answer: TJ has 17 quarters and Demi has 26 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t be the number of quarters TJ has and d be the number of quarters Demi has.

First, we will write an equation based on the first detail given:

       d = t + 9

Next, we will write an equation based on the second detail given:

       2t + 3d = 112

Now, we will substitute the first equation into the second and solve for t.

       2t + 3d = 112

       2t + 3(t + 9) = 112

       2t + 3t + 27 = 112

       5t + 27 = 112

       5t = 85

       t = 17 quarters

Lastly, we know that Demi has 9 more quarters than TJ. We will add 9.

       17 quarters + 9 quarters = 26 quarters

Answer:

TJ has 17 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d and t equal the numbers of quarters Demi and TJ have, respectively.

"Demi has nine more quarters than TJ."

d = t + 9

"if you double the number of quarters TJ has and triple the number of quarters then he has you would get 112 quarters in total"

I think that "then he" above really should read "Demi."

2t + 3d = 112

d = t + 9

2t + 3d = 112

2t + 3(t + 9) = 112

2t + 3t + 27 = 112

5t = 85

t = 17

Answer: TJ has 17 quarters.

Point B is the image of point A under a rotation about the origin.

Rotation is a transformation in which an object or a point is turned around a fixed point or a fixed axis. The fixed point or axis is called the center of rotation, and the angle of rotation specifies the amount and direction of the turn. When an object is rotated, its orientation changes but its shape and size remain the same.

For example, if you rotate a square by 90 degrees around its center, it will look the same as before, but it will be oriented differently. Similarly, if you rotate a point in a coordinate system around the origin, its position will change, but its distance from the origin will remain the same.

Rotations are commonly used in geometry, physics, and engineering to describe the motion of objects, such as the rotation of the Earth around its axis or the rotation of a wheel on an axle. They are also used in computer graphics to create animations and in robotics to control the movement of robotic arms and other devices.

When point A is rotated about the origin to form point B, the distance between the origin and each point remains the same. The direction from the origin to point A and the direction from the origin to point B are related by the angle of rotation. Specifically, point B is the image of point A under a rotation about the origin.

The minimum value of 9y – 45x^2 is 0, which occurs when y = 5x^2/3, so the range of V is all non-negative real numbers:

Range of V: [0, ∞)

To find the domain and range of the function V(x, y) = 9√(9y – 45x^2), we need to consider the values of x and y that make the expression under the square root non-negative, since we cannot take the square root of a negative number.

So, we have:

9y – 45x^2 >= 0

Dividing both sides by 9 and rearranging, we get:

y >= 5x^2/3

This means that the domain of V is all points (x, y) such that y is greater than or equal to 5x^2/3:

Domain of V: {(x, y) | y >= 5x^2/3}

To find the range of V, we note that the square root is always non-negative, so V(x, y) will be non-negative whenever 9y – 45x^2 is non-negative. The minimum value of 9y – 45x^2 is 0, which occurs when y = 5x^2/3, so the range of V is all non-negative real numbers:

So the estimated value of √6.02 using differentials is approximately 2.4556.

The change in g(x,y,z) can be estimated using partial derivatives and differentials.

We can start by finding the partial derivatives of g(x,y,z) with respect to x, y, and z:∂g/∂x = 3 + cos(z)∂g/∂y = -sin(z) + 1∂g/∂z = -x sin(z) - y cos(z)Next, we can use the point P0(1,-3,0) and the distance ds = 0.1 to find the differentials dx, dy, and dz:dx = -2/√6 dsdy = 2/√6 dsdz = 1/√6 dsUsing these values, we can estimate the change in g:Δg ≈ (∂g/∂x) dx + (∂g/∂y) dy + (∂g/∂z) dzΔg ≈ (3 + cos(0)) (-2/√6 ds) + (-sin(0) + 1) (2/√6 ds) + (-1 sin(0) - (-3) cos(0)) (1/√6 ds)Δg ≈ (3 - 2/√6) dsPlugging in ds = 0.1, we get:Δg ≈ (3 - 2/√6) (0.1)Δg ≈ 0.389

Therefore, the change in g(x,y,z) is estimated to be approximately 0.389 units if the point P(x,y,z) moves from P0(1,-3,0) a distance of ds = 0.1 unit toward the point P1(-1,-1,2).

Suppose we want to estimate the value of √6.02 using differentials. We can start by choosing x = 6 and Δx = 0.02. Then, we need to find the derivative of f(x) = √x with respect to x:

f(x) = √x

f'(x) = 1/(2√x)

Using these values, we can estimate Δy:

Δy ≈ dy = f'(x) Δx

dy ≈ (1/(2√6)) (0.02)

dy ≈ 0.005

This means that a small change of 0.02 in x produces a small change of approximately 0.005 in y. To estimate the value of √6.02, we can add this change to the known value of √6:

The final temperature after the next 8 hours (6 hours at -0.8°C per hour, followed by 2 hours at -0.8°C per hour) will be -2.4°C.

The final temperature can be calculated by subtracting the total temperature change from the initial temperature of 4°C.

The total temperature change during the next six hours can be calculated by multiplying the mean rate of -0.8°C per hour by the number of hours, which is 6.

-0.8°C/hour x 6 hours = -4.8°C

Therefore, the temperature after the next six hours will be:

4°C - 4.8°C = -0.8°C

For the next two hours, the temperature changed at a mean rate of -0.8°C per hour. This means the temperature decreased by:

-0.8°C/hour x 2 hours = -1.6°C

So the final temperature will be:

-0.8°C - 1.6°C = -2.4°C.

The length of chord segment EG = 6 inches and the length of FG = √23 inches.

              F

Here, OJ is perpendicular to chord EG at point F.

As per the theorem, the length of the perpendicular from the center of the circle to a chord is half the length of the diameter intersecting the chord.

So, we can find the length of the diameter intersecting chord EG and then use it to find the radius of the circle.

Length of chord EG = 8 inches

Length of OJ = 3 inches

Using Pythagorean theorem in right triangle OFG, we get:

OG² = OF² + FG²

Let x be the length of FG

We know that OF = OJ = 3 inches

OG = radius of the circle

So, we have:

radius of circle = OG = √(OF² + FG²) = √(3² + x²)

The diameter of the circle = 2(radius) = 2√(3² + x²)

Now, using the theorem mentioned above, we can say:

Length of perpendicular from the center of the circle to chord EG = OF = 3 inches

Length of diameter intersecting chord EG = 2√(3² + x²)

So, we get:

Length of chord segment EG = 2 * length of perpendicular

                            = 2 * 3 inches

                           = 6 inches

Now, we know that the chord segment EG divides the diameter intersecting it into two equal parts.

So, we have:

Length of one part of the diameter = (2√(3² + x²))/2 = √(3² + x²)

Using Pythagorean theorem in right triangle OJF, we get:

OJ² + JF² = OF²

3² + JF² = 8²

JF² = 8² - 3² = 55

JF = √55

Using Pythagorean theorem in right triangle JFG, we get:

JG² + FG² = JF²

(√(3² + x²))² + x² = 55

9 + x² + x² = 55

2x² = 46

x² = 23

To find the area of the vertical cross section A at the level X = 3, we need to find the equation of the circle when it is intersected by the plane X = 3.
First, let's find the value of y when X = 3 using the equation of the circle x^2 + y^2 = 36:

(3)^2 + y^2 = 36
9 + y^2 = 36
y^2 = 27
y = ±√27

Since we are dealing with a circle, there are two points on the circle at X = 3, which are (3, √27) and (3, -√27).

The distance between these two points will be the base of the triangle, which is also equal to its height (as given in the problem).

Base and height of the triangle: 2 * √27

Now we can find the area A of the vertical cross-section, which is a triangle with equal base and height:

A = 1/2 * base * height
A = 1/2 * (2 * √27) * (2 * √27)
A = 4 * 27
A = 108

So, the area of the vertical cross-section A at the level X = 3 is 108 square units.

Answer:

Domain is all x values

Range is all y values

Step-by-step explanation:

Your image is not clear enough for me to see the x or y coordinates so hope that helps you to figure it out on your own

Lara sold 3/5 of a box of candy, which is the same as 0.6 boxes of candy.

If Lucy sold 3/5 of a box of candy, then Lara sold 1/5 of 3/5, which is:

(1/5) * (3/5) = 3/25

Therefore, Lara sold 3/25 of a box of candy.

To find the number of boxes Lara sold, we can divide 3/25 by 1/5:

(3/25) ÷ (1/5) = (3/25) * (5/1) = 15/25 = 3/5

So Lara sold 3/5 of a box of candy, which is the same as 0.6 boxes of candy.

Answer:

12

325

Step-by-step explanation:

When it mentions the word "fit", you use TSA.

TSA cuboid = 2[LH+BH+LH] = 2 [ (2×3/2)+(3/2×7/2)+(2×7/2)] = 2 [ 3 + 21/4 + 7] = 2 [5¼+10] = 2 [15¼] = 2 × 61/4 = 61/2 = 30½ ft²

TSA ½ foot cube = 6L² = 6(½)² = 6×¼ = 2½

Number of cubes = 30.5÷2.5 = 12.2 = 12

TSA ⅛ foot cube = 6(⅛)² = 6×1/64 = 3/32

Number of cubes = 30.5÷3/32 = 325⅓ = 325
