The required perimeter is 25+√61 units.

We can find the distance between each pair of consecutive points and then add them up to get the perimeter of the polygon.

Using the distance formula, the distance between points A and B is:

[tex]$$AB = \sqrt{(x_B - x_A)^2 + (y_B - y_A)^2} = \sqrt{(-4 - 4)^2 + (8 - 2)^2} = \sqrt{100} = 10$$[/tex]

Similarly, the distances between the other pairs of points are:

[tex]$$BC = \sqrt{(x_C - x_B)^2 + (y_C - y_B)^2} = \sqrt{(-7 + 4)^2 + (4 - 8)^2} = 5$$[/tex]

[tex]$$CD = \sqrt{(x_D - x_C)^2 + (y_D - y_C)^2} = \sqrt{(-1 + 7)^2 + (-4 - 4)^2} = 10$$[/tex]

[tex]$$DA = \sqrt{(x_A - x_D)^2 + (y_A - y_D)^2} = \sqrt{(4 + 1)^2 + (2 + 4)^2} = \sqrt{61}$$[/tex]

Therefore, the perimeter of the polygon is:

[tex]$$AB + BC + CD + DA = 10 + 5 + 10 + \sqrt{61}$$[/tex]

= 25+√61

Thus, required perimeter is 25+√61.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the possible length and breadth of the rectangle, we need to factor the given expression:

x^2 - 6x + 8 = (x - 4)(x - 2)

Therefore, the length and breadth of the rectangle can be any combination of (x-4) and (x-2).

For example, if we choose (x-4) as the length and (x-2) as the breadth, we have:

Length = x - 4

Breadth = x - 2

Conversely, if we choose (x-2) as the length and (x-4) as the breadth, we have:

Length = x - 2

Breadth = x - 4

So, the possible length and breadth of the rectangle are (x-4) and (x-2), and vice versa.

The CGST and SGST that M/S Sing Trader must pay as the GST rate is 28% is Rs. 280 CGST and Rs. 280 SGST.

Given that,

M/S Sing Trader spent Rs. 10,000 in taxable revenue for a refrigerator. For a taxable amount of Rs. 12,000, they sold it to Amrutbhai.

We have to find the CGST and SGST that M/S Sing Trader must pay as the GST rate is 28%. ​

We know that,

Input tax = 10000  × 28%

Output tax = 12000 × 28%

GST payable = 12000 × 28% - 10000 × 28%

GST payable  = 28% (12000-10000)

GST payable = 28% (2000)

GST payable = [tex]\frac{28}{100}[/tex](2000)

GST payable = 28×20

GST payable = 560

CGST = SGST = [tex]\frac{GST}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{560}{2}[/tex] = Rs. 280

Therefore, The CGST and SGST that M/S Sing Trader must pay as the GST rate is 28% is Rs. 280 CGST and Rs. 280 SGST.

The axis should be labeled x-axis and y-axis respectively.

A graph of triangle ABC with the points A (-3, 0), B (-2, 4), and C (1, -1) is shown below.

The coordinates of triangle A'B'C' are A' (0, 3), B' (4, 2), and C' (-1, -4).

The coordinates of triangle A"B"C" are A" (0, 0), B" (4, -1), and C" (-1, -4)).

In Mathematics and Geometry, the rotation of a point 90° about the center (origin) in a clockwise direction would produce a point that has these coordinates (y, -x).

By applying a rotation of 90° clockwise about the center (origin), the coordinates of triangle A'B'C' are as follows;

(x, y)                               →            (y, -x)

Coordinate A = (-3, 0) → Coordinate A' = (0, -(-3)) = (0, 3)

Coordinate B = (-2, 4) → Coordinate B' = (4, -(-2)) = (4, 2)

Coordinate C = (1, -1) → Coordinate C' = (-1, -(1)) = (-1, -1)

Next, we would translate A'B'C' 3 units down:

(x, y)                               →            (x, y - 3)

Coordinate A' =  (0, 3) = A" (0, 0)

Answer: Yes, the Mean Value Theorem can be applied to f(x) = 9x^3 on the closed interval [1, 2].

To find all values of c in the open interval (1, 2) such that f'(c) = (f(b) - f(a))/(b - a), we first find the derivative of f(x):

f'(x) = 27x^2

Then, we can use the Mean Value Theorem to find a value c in the open interval (1, 2) such that:

f'(c) = (f(2) - f(1))/(2 - 1)

27c^2 = 9(2^3 - 1^3)

27c^2 = 45

c^2 = 5/3

c = +/- sqrt(5/3)

Therefore, the values of c in the open interval (1, 2) such that f'(c) = (f(b) - f(a))/(b - a) are:

c = sqrt(5/3), -sqrt(5/3)

Note that these values are not in the closed interval [1, 2], as they are not between 1 and 2, but they are in the open interval (1, 2).

Answer:

Therefore, the complex number corresponding to point N is −1/2 + 5/2 i, and the length of the diagonal IMGN is sqrt(34).

Answer: Point N: -3+i

Diagonal length: sqrt52

Step-by-step explanation:

You can start by finding point N by graphing all the other solutions on an x-y graph, using a+bi. Where a=the x point, b= the y point. After looking at this you can deduct that point N has to be at -3+i. Because the x between I and M is 1, the distance between G and N has to be 1 too. Repeat with Y.

Next, you use Points N and M to find the distance. You use the same concept that a=x, and b=y and plug this into the distance formula. You would get sqrt(-3-3)^2+(1+3)^2. This evaluates to sqrt52.

Julie will have driven a total distance of 289 miles if she travels from York to Corby via Derby.

Starting from York, Julie needs to travel to Derby. The distance between York and Derby is given as 89 miles. So, we know that Julie will have driven 89 miles once she reaches Derby.

Next, Julie needs to travel from Derby to Corby, but the given information is a bit tricky here. The distance from Derby to Corby is not given directly. Instead, we are given two distances - Derby to Dory and Dory to Corby.

To find the distance from Derby to Corby, we need to add the distances between Derby and Dory, and Dory and Corby. From the question, we know that the distance between Derby and Dory is 127 miles and the distance between Dory and Corby is 73 miles. Adding these two distances gives us the total distance from Derby to Corby, which is 200 miles.

Finally, we can add up the distances traveled between each location to find the total distance traveled by Julie. Adding the distances of each leg of the journey, we get:

89 miles (York to Derby) + 200 miles (Derby to Corby via Dory) = 289 miles

The Laplace transform is a mathematical technique used to solve differential equations and analyze signals and systems in engineering, physics, and other fields. It is named after the French mathematician Pierre-Simon Laplace.

The Laplace transform of the given initial value problem is given by:

Y(s) = (2s^2 + 16) / (s^2(s^2+16))

Inverting the Laplace transform to find y(t) gives us:

y(t) = e^(-8t) * (1-cos(4t)) + 2sin(4t) + u2(t)

Where u2(t) is the Heaviside function that turns on at t = 2.

To find the Laplace transform of y(t), we first take the Laplace transform of both sides of the differential equation:

L(y''(t)) + 16L(y(t)) = L(e^(-2t)u_2(t))

Using the property L(y''(t)) = s^2Y(s) - sy(0) - y'(0) and noting that y(0) = 0 and y'(0) = 0, we can simplify to get:

s^2Y(s) + 16Y(s) = L(e^(-2t)u_2(t))

Using the property L(e^(-at)u_c(t)) = 1/(s + a) * e^(-cs), we can substitute to get:

s^2Y(s) + 16Y(s) = 1/(s + 2)^2

Now we can solve for Y(s):

Y(s) = 1/(s^2 + 16) * 1/(s + 2)^2

To find y(t), we need to take the inverse Laplace transform of Y(s). We can use partial fraction decomposition to simplify the expression:

Y(s) = A/(s^2 + 16) + B/(s + 2) + C/(s + 2)^2

Multiplying both sides by the denominator and solving for A, B, and C, we get:

A = 1/8

B = -1/4

C = 1/8

Substituting these values, we get:

Y(s) = 1/8 * 1/(s^2 + 16) - 1/4 * 1/(s + 2) + 1/8 * 1/(s + 2)^2

Taking the inverse Laplace transform of each term, we get:

y(t) = (1/8)sin(4t) - (1/4)e^(-2t) + (1/4)te^(-2t)

Therefore, the solution to the initial value problem y'' + 16y = e^(-2t)u_2(t), y(0) = 0, y'(0) = 0 is y(t) = (1/8)sin(4t) - (1/4)e^(-2t) + (1/4)te^(-2t).

The expression that is equivalent to (4 - 2x)(4 + 2x) is equal to 16 - 4x^2 approximately.

To simplify the expression (4 - 2x)(4 + 2x), we can use the FOIL method, which stands for First, Outer, Inner, Last. This method involves multiplying each term in the first factor by each term in the second factor and then combining like terms.

Using the FOIL method, we get:

(4 - 2x)(4 + 2x) = 4 × 4 + 4 × 2x - 2x × 4 - 2x × 2x

Simplifying the expression, we get:

16 + 8x - 8x - 4x^2

The two middle terms cancel each other out, leaving us with:

16 - 4x^2

We can also check our answer by factoring the simplified expression back to the original expression. If we factor 16 - 4x^2, we get:

16 - 4x^2 = 4(4 - x^2)

We can then use the difference of squares formula, which states that a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b), to factor further:

4(4 - x^2) = 4(2 + x)(2 - x)

This gives us back the original expression, (4 - 2x)(4 + 2x), confirming that 16 - 4x^2 is equivalent to (4 - 2x)(4 + 2x).

The coffee shop owner does not have sufficient evidence to conclude that the distribution of sales is proportional to the number of facings at a 5% level of significance.

What is proportion ?

A proportion refers to the number or fraction of individuals or items that exhibit a particular characteristic or have a certain attribute, relative to the total number or sample size being considered. It is often expressed as a ratio or percentage.

To test whether the distribution of sales is proportional to the number of facings, we can use the chi-squared goodness of fit test. The null hypothesis for this test is that the observed data follows a specific distribution (in this case, a proportional distribution), while the alternative hypothesis is that the observed data does not follow that distribution.

To conduct the test, we first need to calculate the expected frequency for each category assuming a proportional distribution. We can do this by multiplying the total number of sales (610) by the proportion of facings for each brand:

Starbucks: 610 x 0.3 = 183

Dunkin: 610 x 0.4 = 244

Peet's: 610 x 0.2 = 122

Other: 610 x 0.1 = 61

Next, we calculate the chi-squared statistic using the formula:

χ² = Σ((O - E)² / E)

where O is the observed frequency and E is the expected frequency. The degrees of freedom for this test are (k-1), where k is the number of categories. In this case, k = 4, so the degrees of freedom are 3.

Using the observed and expected frequencies from the table, we get:

χ² = ((130-183)²/183) + ((240-244)²/244) + ((85-122)²/122) + ((155-61)²/61) = 124.36

Looking up the critical value of chi-squared for 3 degrees of freedom and a significance level of 0.05, we get a value of 7.815. Since our calculated χ² value of 124.36 is greater than the critical value of 7.815, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the observed distribution of sales is not proportional to the number of facings.

Therefore, the coffee shop owner does not have sufficient evidence to conclude that the distribution of sales is proportional to the number of facings at a 5% level of significance.

Therefore, with a 95% confidence interval, we can estimate the true mean length of the drive shafts to be between 992.16 mm and 1007.84 mm.

The true mean length of the drive shafts can be estimated using a 95% confidence interval. The margin of error is calculated as 2*1.96*2 = 7.84 mm. The lower bound of the confidence interval is 1000 - 7.84 = 992.16 mm and the upper bound is 1000 + 7.84 = 1007.84 mm.

This confidence interval states that there is a 95% probability that the true mean length of the drive shafts falls within the range of 992.16 mm to 1007.84 mm. The relationship between the two probabilities is that the probability of the true mean length falling within the confidence interval is 95%.

Cassius Corporation needs to sell to make a profit of $31,500 to sell the number of units that needs to be sold is 9,400 units.  It can be found this out by using a formula that takes into account the company's sales revenue, variable expenses, fixed expenses, and contribution margin.Therefore Option D is correct.

The contribution margin is the amount of money left over from sales revenue after deducting variable expenses. In this case, we know that Cassius Corporation's contribution margin is $73,500.

To find out how many units the company needs to sell, we can use the following formula:

(Number of units * Contribution margin per unit) - Fixed expenses = Target profit

We know that the fixed expenses are $67,200 and the target profit is $31,500.

The contribution margin per unit by dividing the contribution margin by the number of units sold, which in this case is 7,000 units. This gives us a contribution margin per unit of $10.50.

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

(Number of units * $10.50) - $67,200 = $31,500

Simplifying this expression:

(Number of units * $10.50) = $98,700

Number of units = $98,700 / $10.50

Number of units = 9,400 (rounded to the nearest whole unit)

The number of units that must be sold to achieve a target profit of $31,500 is closest to 9,400 units. Option (D) is correct.

(a) μx=15 and σx=2And, P(15≤x≤17) can be obtained by converting the corresponding x values into z scores.z1=15−15/2=0z2=17−15/2=1P(15≤x≤17) = P(0≤Z≤1) = 0.3413

(b) μx=15 and σx=1.75 And, P(15≤x≤17) can be obtained by converting the corresponding x values into z scores. z1=15−15/1.75=0z 2=17−15/1.75=1.143 P(15≤x≤17) = P(0≤Z≤1.143) = 0.382.

Calculation of µx and σxIf a random sample of size n=49 is drawn from a distribution where µ=15 and σ =14. Then the sample mean is given by the formula;μx=μ=15And, the standard error of the mean (standard deviation of the distribution of the sample means) is given by the formula;σx=σn=1449=2 Thus,μx=15 and σx=2And, P(15≤x≤17) can be obtained by converting the corresponding x values into z scores.z1=15−15/2=0z2=17−15/2=1P(15≤x≤17) = P(0≤Z≤1) = 0.3413

Calculation of µx and σxIf a random sample of size n=64 is drawn from a distribution where µ=15 and σ =14. Then the sample mean is given by the formula;μx=μ=15 And, the standard error of the mean (standard deviation of the distribution of the sample means) is given by the formula;σx=σn=1464=1.75 Thus,μx=15 and σx=1.75 And, P(15≤x≤17) can be obtained by converting the corresponding x values into z scores. z1=15−15/1.75=0z 2=17−15/1.75=1.143 P(15≤x≤17) = P(0≤Z≤1.143) = 0.382

Part (b) is expected to have a higher probability of P(15≤x≤17) than that of Part (a) because the standard deviation is inversely proportional to the sample size n.

Hence, the larger the sample size, the smaller the standard deviation. And, the smaller the standard deviation, the greater the accuracy of the sample mean in estimating the population mean.
