During the oil crisis, Americans took various measures to reduce their dependency on oil from the Middle East. One of the key steps they took was to increase fuel efficiency standards for cars and trucks.

This helped to reduce the amount of oil needed to power vehicles. Additionally, they started to produce more of their own oil by opening up new oil fields and investing in alternative energy sources such as wind and solar power.

They also implemented policies to encourage conservation and reduce wasteful energy consumption. However, they did not decrease the price of oil and gas by four times, nor did they allow people to buy as much gas as they wanted.

Answer:

h = 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

C (base's circumstance) = 48π cm

V (volume) = 8640π cm^3

Find: h (height) - ?

[tex]c = 2\pi \times r[/tex]

[tex]2\pi \times r = 48π[/tex]

[tex]r = 24[/tex]

We found the radius

[tex]v = \frac{1}{3} \times \pi {r}^{2} \times h[/tex]

[tex] \frac{1}{3} \times \pi \times {24}^{2} \times h = 8640π[/tex]

Multiply the whole equation by 3 to eliminate the fraction:

[tex]1728\pi \times h = 25920\pi[/tex]

This is the derivative of the given function f(x) = (3x + 1)^5(3x - 1)^6 using the Generalized Power Rule.

To find the derivative of the function f(x) = (3x + 1)^5(3x - 1)^6 using the Generalized Power Rule, we will need to apply both the Product Rule and the Chain Rule.

The Product Rule states that if you have a function f(x) = g(x)h(x), then f'(x) = g'(x)h(x) + g(x)h'(x).

First, let's identify g(x) and h(x) in your function:
g(x) = (3x + 1)^5
h(x) = (3x - 1)^6

Next, we'll find the derivatives g'(x) and h'(x) using the Chain Rule, which states that if you have a function y = [u(x)]^n, then y' = n[u(x)]^(n-1) * u'(x).

For g'(x):
u(x) = 3x + 1
n = 5
u'(x) = 3
g'(x) = 5(3x + 1)^(5-1) * 3 = 15(3x + 1)^4

For h'(x):
u(x) = 3x - 1
n = 6
u'(x) = 3
h'(x) = 6(3x - 1)^(6-1) * 3 = 18(3x - 1)^5

Now, we apply the Product Rule:
f'(x) = g'(x)h(x) + g(x)h'(x) = 15(3x + 1)^4(3x - 1)^6 + (3x + 1)^5 * 18(3x - 1)^5

The critical numbers of f(x) = -2x^3 + 39x^2 - 240x + 2 are A = 5 and B = 8.

To find the critical numbers of a function, we need to find the values of x where the derivative of the function is zero or undefined.

For the function f(x) = 5x^2 + 7x - 10, the derivative is:

f'(x) = 10x + 7

To find the critical numbers, we need to set f'(x) = 0 and solve for x:

10x + 7 = 0

10x = -7

x = -7/10

So the critical number of f(x) = 5x^2 + 7x - 10 is x = -7/10.

For the function f(x) = -2x^3 + 39x^2 - 240x + 2, the derivative is:

f'(x) = -6x^2 + 78x - 240

To find the critical numbers, we need to set f'(x) = 0 and solve for x:

-6x^2 + 78x - 240 = 0

We can simplify this equation by dividing both sides by -6:

x^2 - 13x + 40 = 0

Now we can factor the quadratic:

(x - 5)(x - 8) = 0

So the solutions are x = 5 and x = 8.

To determine which critical point is A and which is B, we need to check the sign of the second derivative of f(x) at each critical point.

The second derivative of f(x) is:

f''(x) = -12x + 78

Plugging in x = 5, we get:

f''(5) = -12(5) + 78 = 18

Since f''(5) is positive, we know that f(x) has a local minimum at x = 5. Therefore, x = 5 is the critical point A.

Plugging in x = 8, we get:

f''(8) = -12(8) + 78 = -6

Since f''(8) is negative, we know that f(x) has a local maximum at x = 8. Therefore, x = 8 is the critical point B.

Therefore, the critical numbers of f(x) = -2x^3 + 39x^2 - 240x + 2 are A = 5 and B = 8.

(a) The three different trigonometric ratios that could have been used to find the distance x between Emma and the base of the tree are sin(60°) = 43.3/50, cos(60°) = x / 50, and tan(60°) = 43.3 / x. The distance is 25 ft.

(b) Using the Pythagorean theorem, the distance x between Emma and the base of the tree is 25 ft.

(a) We can use sine, cosine, and tangent trigonometric ratios to find the distance x between Emma and the base of the tree.

1. Sine:
sin(60°) = opposite/hypotenuse = (tree height) / 50
tree height = 50 * sin(60°) = 43.3 ft (since it's given that the tree is 43.3 ft tall)

2. Cosine:
cos(60°) = adjacent/hypotenuse = x / 50
x = 50 * cos(60°) = 25 ft

3. Tangent:
tan(60°) = opposite/adjacent = (tree height) / x
x = (tree height) / tan(60°) = 43.3 / tan(60°) ≈ 25 ft

(b) To find the distance x between Emma and the base of the tree using the Pythagorean theorem, we can consider the triangle formed by Emma, the base of the tree, and the top of the tree.

Let's call the distance from the base of the tree to the top of the tree (tree height) y.

Emma's distance to the cat (50 ft) is the hypotenuse, the distance x is one leg, and the tree height y (43.3 ft) is the other leg of the right triangle.

Using the Pythagorean theorem: x² + y² = hypotenuse²
x² + 43.3² = 50²
x² + 1874.89 = 2500
x² = 625.11
x ≈ 25 ft

So, the distance between Emma and the base of the tree is approximately 25 ft.

The slope of the graph is the same positive value that is 0.75.

Hence the correct option is (1).

We know that the equation of a straight line with slope 'm' and y intercept 'c' is given by,

y = mx + c

Here the model equation

c = 0.75h, where c is the total cost to buy hotdogs

h is the number of hotdogs bought

And 0.75 is the price of one hotdog

Now we can clearly say that c = 0.75h will make a straight line coordinate plane.

Now comparing the equation with slope intercept equation of straight line we get,

m = 0.75 and c = 0

So the slope of the line represented by model equation = 0.75 which is a positive number.

y intercept  = 0.

We know that the slope of one particular straight line on cartesian plane is unique.

The condition that will result in more than one triangle is C. Student III.

The conditions listed by the third student will result in more than one triangle because we are given all three angles. As a rule in math, some conditions will determine if there is more than one triangle. One of them is this:

Rule 1:

If all three angles of the triangle are given and they all add up to exactly 180°, it is possible to get more than one triangle.  In the third option, we are given angles 62°, 36°, and 82°, so different triangles can be constructed. Also, they all add up to give 180°. The condition is satisfied.

Rule 2:

Also, as a rule, if we have two angles that do not add up to 180° and one side, then only one unique triangle can be obtained. This is the case for student A who is given angles A and B and a side length of 5cm. (ASA)

The dimensions of the pasture that require the least amount of fence are approximately 600 meters by 300 meters.

To minimize the amount of fence needed, we want to maximize the length of the side next to the canal. Let's call this side x and the other two sides y.

We know that the area of the rectangle must be 180,000 m², so we have x*y = 180,000. We want to minimize the amount of fence, which is the perimeter of the rectangle: P = x + 2y

To solve for the dimensions that require the least amount of fence, we need to eliminate one variable. We can do this by using the area equation to solve for one variable in terms of the other:
y = 180,000/x

Substituting this into the perimeter equation, we have:
[tex]P = x + 2(180,000/x)[/tex]

To find the minimum value of P, we take the derivative with respect to x and set it equal to zero:
[tex]P' = 1 - 360,000/x^2 = 0x = sqrt(360,000) ≈ 600[/tex]

Substituting this back into the area equation, we find:
[tex]y = 180,000/x ≈ 180,000/600 ≈ 300[/tex]

Calculated test statistic of 2.08 is greater than the critical value of 1.645, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is convincing evidence at the 0.05 level that more than 55% of California residents use Netflix.

We can use a hypothesis testing approach to answer this question. The null hypothesis is that the true proportion of California residents who use Netflix is the same as the national proportion, or p = 0.55. The alternative hypothesis is that the true proportion of California residents who use Netflix is greater than 0.55, or p > 0.55.

We can use the sample proportion of Netflix users in California, which is 360/600 = 0.6, as an estimate of the true proportion p. The standard error of the sample proportion is:

SE = √[(p*(1-p))/n] = √[(0.55*(1-0.55))/600] = 0.024

The test statistic is:

z = (p - 0.55)/SE = (0.6 - 0.55)/0.024 = 2.08

Assuming a significance level of 0.05 and a one-tailed test (since the alternative hypothesis is one-sided), the critical z-value is 1.645.

Since our calculated test statistic of 2.08 is greater than the critical value of 1.645, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is convincing evidence at the 0.05 level that more than 55% of California residents use Netflix. However, we should keep in mind that this conclusion is based on a sample of 600 adults from California, and there is always some degree of uncertainty involved in statistical inference based on samples.

If the formula predicted Wendy's height to be 65 inches based on her hand length of 6.5 inches, the residual would be -2 inches

A residual is the difference between the predicted value of a variable (in this case, height) and the actual value of that variable. Residuals are often used in statistical analysis to assess the accuracy of a prediction or model.

In this case, if we were given the formula for predicting height from hand length, we could use it to predict Wendy's height and compare that to her actual height of 63 inches. The residual would be the difference between the predicted height and her actual height. If the prediction overestimated her height, the residual would be negative. If it underestimated her height, the residual would be positive.

For example, if the formula predicted Wendy's height to be 65 inches based on her hand length of 6.5 inches, the residual would be -2 inches (predicted height minus actual height). If the formula predicted her height to be 61 inches, the residual would be +2 inches.

Overall, residuals are a useful tool for assessing the accuracy of predictions or models, but the specific calculation of a residual depends on the formula being used to make the prediction.

If 4 buses carrying 150 football fans from same school arrive at a football stadium, then the expected-value, "E(X)" is 41 and variance "Var(X)" is 99.

To find the expected value of X, we use the formula E(X) = ∑x P(X=x), where x is = possible values of X and P(X=x) = probability of X taking the value x.

Four buses have a total of 150 students, the probability that the randomly selected person is from a bus with x students is the proportion of students on that bus divided by the total number of students:

P(X=x) = (number of students on bus with x students)/(total number of students);

So, We have:

P(X=20) = 20/150 = 2/15

P(X=35) = 35/150 = 7/30

P(X=45) = 45/150 = 3/10

P(X=50) = 50/150 = 1/3

The expected-value of X is : E(X) = 20(2/15) + 35(7/30) + 45(3/10) + 50(1/3) = 41

To find the variance of X, we use the formula Var(X) = E(X²) - [E(X)]².

We already know E(X), so we need to find E(X²).

E(X²) = ∑ x² P(X=x);

So, We have:

E(X²) = 20²(2/15) + 35²(7/30) + 45²(3/10) + 50²(1/3) = 1780;

So, variance of X is : Var(X) = E(X²) - [E(X)]² = 1780 - 41² = 99.

Therefore, the expected value of X is 41 and the variance of X is 99.

A circular plate fragment is found by an archaeologist. The plate is 13.9 inches in diameter.

A chord in mathematics is a piece of a straight line that joins two points on a curve. A chord is a line segment with its endpoints on the curve, to be more precise.

The word "chord" is most frequently used in relation to the geometry of circles, where a chord is a line segment that joins two points on a circle's circumference. Given the lengths of the circle's radii and the separation between the chord's ends, the Pythagorean theorem can be used to determine the chord's length in this situation.

The relationship between two notes in music can also be represented by chords. A chord is, in this context, a grouping of three or more notes performed simultaneously to produce a harmonic sound. The structure of musical compositions can be analysed and understood using the mathematical concepts of chord progressions.

The equidistant chords theorem states that two chords are congruent in the same circle or a congruent circle if and only if they are equidistant from the centre.

Additionally, as depicted in the illustration, the supplied chords are equally spaced apart; as a result, they must meet in the circle's centre.

LHE is formed by connecting the points L and E to make a right-angled triangle ΔLHE.

The perpendicular chord bisector theorem states that if a circle's diameter is perpendicular to a chord, the diameter will also bisect the chord's arc HE≅ HD.

The area of S is:

[tex]A(S) = 16\pi \sqrt{(500/11)}= 128.8[/tex]

The surface S can be described in terms of cylindrical coordinates by setting:

x = r cos(θ)

y = r sin(θ)

z = z

Using these coordinates, we can rewrite the equation for C as:

r² = 22/100(x² + y²) = 22/100r²

Simplifying this equation, we get:

[tex]r = \sqrt{(500/11)}[/tex]

Thus, the surface S is the portion of the cylinder of radius [tex]\sqrt{(500/11)}[/tex] between z = 1 and z = 5.

To calculate the area of S, we can use the formula:

A(S) = ∫∫∂S ||n|| [tex]dA[/tex]

where ||n|| is the magnitude of the normal vector to the surface, and [tex]dA[/tex] is the area element on the surface.

For the cylinder, the normal vector is simply the radial unit vector pointing outward from the origin:

n = (cos(θ), sin(θ), 0)

The magnitude of the normal vector is ||n|| = 1, so we can simplify the formula for the area to:

A(S) = ∫∫∂S [tex]dA[/tex]

To evaluate this integral, we need to parameterize the surface S. We can use the cylindrical coordinates we defined earlier:

x = r cos(θ)

y = r sin(θ)

z = z

with 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π and 1 ≤ z ≤ 5.

The area element in cylindrical coordinates is given by:

[tex]dA = r \ dz\ d\theta[/tex]

Substituting in our parameterization of S, we get:

A(S) = ∫∫∂S r [tex]dz[/tex] dθ

[tex]= \int\limits^{2\pi }_0 \int\limits^5_1 {\sqrt{(500/11)} dz d\theta}\\= \sqrt{(500/11)} \int\limits^{2\pi }_0 {(5 - 1) d\theta}\\= 16\pi \sqrt{(500/11)[/tex]

Hope this helps.

The solution for the differential equation is y = (23/48) x + 4.

(A) Re-writing the differential equation in terms of differentials, we get:

dy = (23/48) dx

Here, dy and dx represent infinitesimal changes in the variables y and x, respectively.

(B) Integrating both sides of the equation with respect to their respective variables, we get:

∫dy = ∫(23/48)dx

On the left-hand side, the integral of dy is simply y (plus a constant of integration), while on the right-hand side, we can pull the constant factor (23/48) outside the integral:

y + C1 = (23/48) ∫dx

Integrating the right-hand side with respect to x, we get:

y + C1 = (23/48) x + C2

where C1 and C2 are constants of integration.

(C) To solve for y, we can isolate it on one side of the equation by subtracting C1 from both sides:

y = (23/48) x + (C2 - C1)

Next, we can use the initial condition y(0) = 4 to solve for the constant C2 - C1:

y(0) = (23/48) (0) + (C2 - C1) = C2 - C1

Since y(0) = 4, we have:

4 = C2 - C1

Therefore, C2 - C1 = 4, and we can substitute this back into the expression for y to get the final solution:

y = (23/48) x + 4

So the solution for the differential equation with initial condition y(0) = 4 is y = (23/48) x + 4.

Answer:

a b e

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The amount of interest he will earn in a year is $3,000.

B) The amount he spent on furniture is $600.

Part A: To calculate the interest Alex will earn in one year, use the formula for simple interest:

Interest = Principal × Rate × Time.

In this case, Principal = $30,000, Rate = 10% (0.10), and Time = 1 year. So,

Interest = $30,000 × 0.10 × 1 = $3,000.

Part B: Alex spends 20% of the interest on furniture. To calculate this amount, multiply the interest by 20% (0.20): $3,000 × 0.20 = $600.

Therefore, in one year, Alex will earn $3,000 in interest. He will spend $600 on furniture for his new house.
