Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a

           [tex]a \to b[/tex]

         [tex]\neg b[/tex]

         [tex]\neg a[/tex]

b

If  all prime numbers are odd, then 2 is  odd.

2 is not odd.

Therefore, it is not the case that all prime numbers are odd.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering part A

 The  first sentence is  

If all computer programs contain errors, then this program contains an error.

   The second sentence is

This program does not contain an error.

     The third  sentence is

Therefore, it is not the case that all computer programs contain errors.

Now we will use  a and  b  as the letter to denote the component sentences and   [tex]\neg a[/tex]  and [tex]\neg b[/tex] when the component sentences is not the case

So  a =  If all computer programs contain errors

and  

     b =  this program contains an error.

Generally then is represented as [tex]\to[/tex]

Hence the first sentence is denoted as  

         [tex]a \to b[/tex]

The  second sentence is represented as

            [tex]\neg b[/tex]

The  third sentence is represented as

           [tex]\neg a[/tex]

So part a can be represented as

      [tex]a \to b[/tex]

         [tex]\neg b[/tex]

         [tex]\neg a[/tex]

Considering part B

Here the objective is to fill in the blank spaces so that the logic of the sentence in part b is as that in part a

    Now comparing the second statement  a and  b

                "This program does not contain an error" = "2 is not odd" = [tex]\neg b[/tex]

Hence      "this program contains an error." =  "2 is  odd" =  b

     Now comparing the third  statement  a and  b

Therefore, it is not the case that all computer programs contain errors.  

                                                =

     Therefore, it is not the case that all prime numbers are odd  

                                                =

                                                [tex]\neg a[/tex]

Hence

If all computer programs contain errors, = if all prime numbers are odd.= a

Find the difference quotient and simplify your answer.
f(x) = x2 – 2x + 6,
h = 0
h
f(8 + h) – f(8),

Answers

We're given that

[tex]f(x)=x^2-2x+6[/tex]

which means

[tex]f(x+h)=(x+h)^2-2(x+h)+6=x^2+2xh+h^2-2x-2h+6[/tex]

When we subtract these, several terms cancel:

[tex](x^2+2xh+h^2-2x-2h+6)-(x^2-2x+6)=2xh+h^2-2h[/tex]

So the difference quotient is

[tex]\dfrac{f(x+h)-f(x)}h=\dfrac{2xh+h^2-2h}h[/tex]

and since h ≠ 0, we can cancel it out to end up with

[tex]\dfrac{f(x+h)-f(x)}h=2x+h-2[/tex]

Now plug in x = 8 (this could have been done at any prior point):

[tex]\dfrac{f(8+h)-f(8)}h=14+h[/tex]

x = _____(smaller number here)
x = ________(larger number here)

Blank 1:
Blank 2:
Blank 3:
Blank 4:

Answers

Answer:

Absolute value equation is; |x - 25| ≤ 3

Minimum number of bolts is 22 while Maximum number of bolts is 28

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that;

Each bag should have 25 bolts in it but 22 or 28 is acceptable.

Since 22 or 28 is acceptable, it means the allowable error is ±3.

Thus, if x is the number of bolts in the bag, the absolute value equation would be;

|x - 25| ≤ 3

Minimum number of bolts is 22 while maximum is 28

A device has a constant failure rate with a MTTF of 2 months. One hundred of the devices are tested to failure. (a) How many of the devices do you expect to fail during the second month

Answers

Answer: the number of devices expected to fail during the second month is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

The device has a constant failure rate with MTTF of 2 months.

As the device has constant failure rate so it has exponential failure distribution

f(t) = λe^-λt

Here MTTF = 1/ λ

so  λ = 1/2 Months⁻¹ = 0.5 Months⁻¹ and from the question,  Number of devices = 100

E( 1 < x < 2) = E ( x < 2) - E (x < 1)

so E(x < X) can be calculated with λ  = 0.5 Months⁻¹ will be calculated as the failure function

f(x) = λ exp ( - λ×t) for t > 0

F (x>0) = 1 - exp( - λx)

so E ( 1 < x < 2) = E ( x < 2) - E (x < 1)

E ( x < 2) = 1 - exp(-0.5 × 2) = 0.6321 ; E (x<1) = 1 - exp(-0.5 × 2) = 1 - exp( -0.5) = 0.3934

so E ( 1 < x < 2) = 0.6321 - 0.3934 = 0.2387

so the number of devices expected to fail during the second month is;

100 × 0.2387 = 23.87 ≈ 24

Example: 2 times 3 = 2*3

------------------------------------------

For problem 2, you have the parenthesis in the wrong spots. Saying "the sum of four plus five" means we have 4+5 as you'd expect. Then you multiply that group with 2. So you'd really have (4+5)*2

How is this different from 4+5*2 back in problem 1? It comes down to how the order of operations handles things. To evaluate 4+5*2, we multiply first, then add. So we have 4+5*2 = 4+10 = 14

With the other expression, we add first because it is in the parenthesis block. Afterward we multiply the values to get (4+5)*2 = 9*2 = 18

A couple wants to install a square mirror on their bathroom wall. The area of the square mirror is 720 square inches. To the nearest hundredth of an inch, what length of wood trim is needed to go around the entire mirror?

Answers

Answer:

107.33 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the square more = length ^2

Area of the square mirror = 720 square inches

Area of the square more = length ^2

720 = length^2

Find the square root of both sides

√720 = √lenght^2

Length = √720

Length = 26.83281573 inches

Each length of the wood = 26.83281573 inches

There are 4 equal sides on the square mirror

Total length of the wood = 26.83281573 × 4

= 107.33126292 inches

Length of wood trim is needed to go around the entire mirror to the nearest hundredth = 107.33 inches

Answers

B) [tex]\int(5-x)^{23}dx=-\frac{(5-x)^{24}}{24}+C[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

So we have the integral:

[tex]\int\frac{2x^2}{3}dx[/tex]

First, remove the constant multiple:

[tex]=\frac{2}{3}\int x^2\dx[/tex]

Use the power rule, where:

[tex]\int x^ndx=\frac{x^{n+1}}{x+1}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\frac{2}{3}\int x^2\dx\\=\frac{2}{3}(\frac{x^{2+1}}{2+1})[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]=\frac{2}{3}(\frac{x^{3}}{3})[/tex]

And multiply:

[tex]=\frac{2x^3}{9}[/tex]

And, finally, plus C:

[tex]=\frac{2x^3}{9}+C[/tex]

B)

We have the integral:

[tex]\int(5-x)^{23}dx[/tex]

To solve, we can use u-substitute.

Let u equal 5-x. Then:

[tex]u=5-x\\du=-1dx[/tex]

So:

[tex]\int(5-x)^{23}dx\\=\int-u^{23}du[/tex]

Move the negative outside:

[tex]=-\int u^{23}du[/tex]

Power rule:

[tex]=-(\frac{u^{23+1}}{23+1})[/tex]

Add:

[tex]=-(\frac{u^{24}}{24})[/tex]

Substitute back 5-x:

[tex]=-(\frac{(5-x)^{24}}{24})[/tex]

Constant of integration:

[tex]=-\frac{(5-x)^{24}}{24}+C[/tex]
