What is the objective​ function, in terms of​ x?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) shortest ladder length ≈ 35.7 ft (rounded to tenth)

(b) L = (d/x +1)√(16+x²) . . . . where 16 is fence height squared

Step-by-step explanation:

It works well to solve the second part of the problem first, then put in the specific numbers.

We have not been asked anything about "b", so we can basically ignore it. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we find the length GH in the attached drawing to be ...

  GH = √(4²+x²) = √(16+x²)

Then using similar triangles, we can find the ladder length L to be that which satisfies ...

  L/(d+x) = GH/x

  L = (d +x)/x·√(16 +x²)

The derivative with respect to x, L', is ...

  L' = (d+x)/√(16+x²) +√(16+x²)/x - (d+x)√(16+x²)/x²

Simplifying gives ...

  L' = (x³ -16d)/(x²√(16+x²))

Our objective is to minimize L by making L' zero. (Of course, only the numerator needs to be considered.)

___

(a) For d=24, we want ...

  0 = x³ -24·16

  x = 4·cuberoot(6) ≈ 7.268 . . . . . feet

Then L is

  L = (24 +7.268)/7.268·√(16 +7.268²) ≈ 35.691 . . . feet

__

(b) The objective function is the length of the ladder, L. We want to minimize it.

  L = (d/x +1)√(16+x²)

Answer 2
Final answer:

The objective function for the length of the ladder in terms of x is L = sqrt((x+b)^2 + d^2).

Explanation:

To find the length of the shortest ladder that extends from the ground to the house without touching the fence, we can use the concepts of similar triangles. Let L be the length of the ladder, x be the distance from the base of the ladder to the fence, d be the distance from the fence to the house, and b be the distance from the ground to the point the ladder touches the house. In terms of x, the objective function for the length of the ladder is:

A chef is going to use a mixture of two brands of Italian dressing. The first brand contains 7% vinegar, and the second brand contains 15% vinegar. The chef wants to make 240 milliliters of a dressing that is 13% vinegar. How much of each brand should she use?

Answers

Let [tex]x[/tex] be the amount (in mL) of the first brand (7% vinegar) and [tex]y[/tex] the amount of the second brand (15% vinegar). She wants to end up with a mixture with volume 240 mL, so that

[tex]x+y=240[/tex]

and she wants it contain 13% vinegar. Each mL of the first brand contributes 0.07 mL (i.e. 7% of 1 mL) vinegar, while each mL of the second brand contributes 0.15 mL (i.e. 15% of 1 mL). The final mixture needs to contribute 0.13 mL (i.e. 13% of 1 mL) for each mL of dressing, so that

[tex]0.07x+0.15y=0.13(x+y)=31.2[/tex]

Now solve:

[tex]x+y=240\implies y=240-x[/tex]

[tex]0.07x+0.15y=31.2\implies0.07x+0.15(240-x)=31.2[/tex]

[tex]\implies-0.08x+36=31.2[/tex]

[tex]\implies4.8=0.08x[/tex]

[tex]\implies\boxed{x=60}[/tex]

[tex]y=240-x\implies\boxed{y=180}[/tex]

The chef needs to use 60 mL of the first brand and 180 mL of the second brand.

Answer:

First brand: 60 milliliters

Second brand: 180 milliliters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call m the amount of the first dressing mark that contains 7% vinegar

Let's call n the amount of the second dressing mark that contains 15% vinegar

The resulting mixture should have 13% vinegar and 240 milliliters.

Then we know that the total amount of mixture will be:

[tex]m + n = 240[/tex]

Then the total amount of vinegar in the mixture will be:

[tex]0.07m + 0.15n = 0.13 * 240[/tex]

[tex]0.07m + 0.15n = 31.2[/tex]

Then we have two equations and two unknowns so we solve the system of equations. Multiply the first equation by -0.15 and add it to the second equation:

[tex]-0.15m -0.15n = 240 * (- 0.15)[/tex]

[tex]-0.15m -0.15n = -36[/tex]

[tex]-0.15m -0.15n = -36[/tex]

              +

[tex]0.07m + 0.15n = 31.2[/tex]

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

[tex]-0.08m = -4.8[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{-4.8}{-0.08}[/tex]

[tex]m = 60\ milliliters[/tex]

We substitute the value of m into one of the two equations and solve for n.

[tex]m + n = 240[/tex]

[tex]60 + n = 240[/tex]

[tex]n = 180\ milliliters[/tex]

Based on sample​ data, newborn males have weights with a mean of 3277.9 g and a standard deviation of 571.6 g. Newborn females have weights with a mean of 3091.6 g and a standard deviation of 625.7 g. Who has the weight that is more extreme relative to the group from which they​ came: a male who weighs 1700 g or a female who weighs 1700 ​g?

Answers

Final answer:

To determine who has the weight that is more extreme relative to their group, we need to calculate the z-scores for both the male and female who weigh 1700 g.

Explanation:

To determine who has the weight that is more extreme relative to their group, we need to calculate the z-scores for both the male and female who weigh 1700 g.

The z-score formula is: z = (x - mean) / standard deviation.

For the male who weighs 1700 g:
z = (1700 - 3277.9) / 571.6 = -1.956.

For the female who weighs 1700 g:
z = (1700 - 3091.6) / 625.7 = -1.394.

Since the absolute value of -1.956 is greater than the absolute value of -1.394, the male with a weight of 1700 g is more extreme relative to their group.

Find Each Measure.

m1, m2, m3

Answers

Answer:

The second choice is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

    These are triangles, so the interior angles have to add up to 180 degrees. Since 45 degrees and m<1 are vertical angles, they will have the same measure. So right off the back we know that m<1 =45. To find the measure<2 all you need to do is add 45 and 59, then subtract that answer from 180. M<2= 76. That leaves only one option. The second  one.

The measurements of the angles are Angle 1 = 45 degrees, Angle 2 = 76 degrees, Angle 3 = 80 degrees. The correct option is b) 1 = 45, 2 = 76, 3 = 80.

Let's solve this step by step to find the measurements of angles 1, 2, and 3.

We named the two triangles as OAB and OCD, with a common vertex O. angle O makes vertically opposite angle 45 degree in triangle OAB and angle 1 in OCD, angle A makes angle 2, angle B makes angle 59 degree, angle C makes 55 degree and angle D makes angle 3.Given the information:

In triangle OAB:

Angle OAB (angle 2) = 59 degrees

Angle O = 45 degrees (vertically opposite to angle 1)

In triangle OCD:

Angle O = 45 degrees (again, vertically opposite to angle 1)

Angle OCD (angle 3) = ?

First, let's find angle 2 in triangle OAB:

In triangle OAB, the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.

So, angle 2 + angle O + angle OAB = 180 degrees.

59 + 45 + angle OAB = 180 degrees.

Now, solve for angle OAB:

angle OAB = 180 degrees - 59 degrees - 45 degrees

angle OAB = 76 degrees

Now, let's find angle 3 in triangle OCD:

In triangle OCD, the sum of angles in a triangle is also 180 degrees.

So, angle O + angle OCD + angle C = 180 degrees.

45 + angle 3 + 55 = 180 degrees.

Now, solve for angle 3:

angle 3 = 180 degrees - 45 degrees - 55 degrees

angle 3 = 80 degrees

So, the measurements of angles 1, 2, and 3 are as follows:

Angle 1 = 45 degrees

Angle 2 = 76 degrees

Angle 3 = 80 degrees

The correct option is:

b) 1 = 45, 2 = 76, 3 = 80

A soft drink machine outputs a mean of 28 ounces per cup. The machine's output is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 2 ounces. What is the probability of filling a cup between 30 and 31 ounces? Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answers

Final answer:

To find the probability of the soft drink machine filling a cup between 30 and 31 ounces, calculate the z scores for 30 and 31 ounces, use them to find the cumulative probabilities from a standard normal distribution table, then subtract the two probabilities. The result is 0.0919 or 9.19%.

Explanation:

This is a question about probability in a normal distribution. In this case, we want to find the probability of the output being between 30 and 31 ounces, given a mean of 28 ounces and a standard deviation of 2 ounces.

First, we find the z-scores for 30 and 31 ounces. The z-score is calculated by subtracting the mean from the value and dividing the result by the standard deviation. For 30 ounces, the z-score is (30-28)/2 = 1. For 31 ounces, the z-score is (31-28)/2 = 1.5.

Next, we use these z-scores to find the cumulative probabilities from a standard normal distribution table. The cumulative probability for a z-score of 1 is 0.8413 and for 1.5, it's 0.9332.

The probability of filling a cup between 30 and 31 ounces is the difference between the cumulative probabilities of the two z-scores. So, the answer is 0.9332 - 0.8413 = 0.0919.

Therefore, the probability of the soft drink machine filling a cup between 30 to 31 ounces is 0.0919 or 9.19% when rounded to four decimal places.

The probability of filling a cup between 30 and 31 ounces when the mean output is 28 ounces and the standard deviation is 2 ounces can be found using the Z-score formula for a normal distribution.

 First, we calculate the Z-score for 30 ounces:

[tex]\[ Z_{30} = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} = \frac{30 - 28}{2} = \frac{2}{2} = 1 \][/tex]

Next, we calculate the Z-score for 31 ounces:

[tex]\[ Z_{31} = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} = \frac{31 - 28}{2} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5 \][/tex]

Now, we look up the probabilities corresponding to these Z-scores in the standard normal distribution table or use a calculator.

The probability of getting a value less than or equal to [tex]\( Z_{30} \)[/tex]is:

[tex]\[ P(Z \leq 1) \approx 0.8413 \][/tex]

 The probability of getting a value less than or equal to is:

[tex]\[ P(Z \leq 1.5) \approx 0.9332 \][/tex]

To find the probability of filling a cup between 30 and 31 ounces, we subtract the probability of filling up to 30 ounces from the probability of filling up to 31 ounces:

[tex]\[ P(30 < X < 31) = P(Z \leq 1.5) - P(Z \leq 1) \][/tex]

[tex]\[ P(30 < X < 31) \approx 0.0919 \][/tex]

 Rounded to four decimal places, the probability is 0.0919.

The response to a question has three alternatives: A, B, and C. A sample of 120 responses provides 60 A, 23 B, and 37 C. Show the frequency and relative frequency distributions (use nearest whole number for the frequency column and 2 decimal for the relative frequency column).

Answers

Answer with explanation:

We know that in a frequency table we write the frequency corresponding to each of the data.

The relative frequency is the ratio of the frequency to the total frequency corresponding to each entry.

Here we have a total sample as: 120

Also, the frequency corresponding to A is: 60

Corresponding to B is: 23

and corresponding to C is: 37

Hence, the Frequency table is as follows:

Data               Frequency

 A                          60  

 B                           23

 C                           37

The relative frequency table is given by:

Data               Relative Frequency          

 A                      60/120=0.5

 B                       23/120=0.19  

 C                       37/120=0.31

Hence, we get:

Data               Relative Frequency          

 A                           0.5

 B                           0.19

 C                           0.31

Final answer:

The frequency distribution for the responses A, B, and C are 60, 23, and 37 respectively. The relative frequency distribution for the responses A, B, and C are 0.50, 0.19, and 0.31 respectively. Sum of the relative frequencies equals to 1, indicating all portions of the sample have been accounted for.

Explanation:Frequency and Relative Frequency Distributions

To create these distributions for the given response data, we'll organize our observations into a table.

Frequency distribution: The frequency shows the number of times each response (A, B, or C) occurs in the sample.
- Response A: 60
- Response B: 23
- Response C: 37

Adding these frequencies would equal the total sample size, 120.

Relative frequency distribution: The relative frequency is calculated as the frequency of each response divided by the total sample size, expressed as a decimal.
- Response A: 60/120 = 0.50
- Response B: 23/120 = 0.19
- Response C: 37/120 = 0.31

Note that if we add up the relative frequencies, we should get a sum of 1, indicating that we've accounted for all portions of the sample.

Answers

The gradient of function f is (∂f/∂x, ∂f/∂y) = (2cos(2x + 5y), 5cos(2x + 5y)). The gradient at the point P(-5, 2), is ∇f(-5, 2) = (2cos(-20), 5cos(-20)). Rate of change of f at P in the direction of the vector u is  (-1/2, 3). Duf(-5, 2) = ∇f(-5, 2) · (-1/2, 3).

(a) To find the gradient of the function f(x, y) = sin(2x + 5y), we need to compute the partial derivatives with respect to x and y:

Gradient of f(x, y) = (∂f/∂x, ∂f/∂y).

Taking the partial derivative with respect to x:

∂f/∂x = ∂/∂x(sin(2x + 5y)) = 2cos(2x + 5y).

Taking the partial derivative with respect to y:

∂f/∂y = ∂/∂y(sin(2x + 5y)) = 5cos(2x + 5y).

So, the gradient of f is (∂f/∂x, ∂f/∂y) = (2cos(2x + 5y), 5cos(2x + 5y)).

(b) To evaluate the gradient at point P(-5, 2), we substitute these values into the gradient expression:

∇f(-5, 2) = (2cos(2(-5) + 5(2)), 5cos(2(-5) + 5(2))).

Calculating these values gives the gradient at P.

The gradient at point P is ∇f(-5, 2) = (2cos(-20), 5cos(-20)).

(c) To find the rate of change of f at point P(-5, 2) in the direction of the vector u = (1/2, 3) - (1, 0) = (-1/2, 3), we use the dot product:

Duf(-5, 2) = ∇f(-5, 2) · (-1/2, 3).

Calculate this dot product to find the rate of change of f in the direction of u at point P.

(a) The probability of answering all 5 problems correctly is 0.08.

(b) The probability of answering at least 4 problems correctly is 0.5.

There are a total of 10 problems, and the student has figured out how to solve 7 of them which means there are 3 problems that the student hasn't figured out how to solve.

(a) To find the probability that the student answers correctly to all 5 problems, we need to consider that the student must select 5 out of the 7 problems they know how to solve and 0 out of the 3 problems they don't know how to solve.

The probability of selecting 5 specific problems out of 7 is given by:

(7 choose 5) / (10 choose 5)  [tex]=\frac{^7C_5}{^{10}C_5}[/tex]

=21/252

=0.083

(b) To find the probability that the student answers at least 4 problems correctly, we need to consider two cases: when the student answers 4 problems correctly and when the student answers all 5 problems correctly.

Case 1: Student answers 4 problems correctly and 1 problem incorrectly:

P(4 correct and 1 incorrect) = (7 choose 4) × (3 choose 1) / (10 choose 5)

Case 2: Student answers all 5 problems correctly:

P(5 correct out of 5) = (7 choose 5) / (10 choose 5)

Now, add the probabilities of these two cases to get the probability of answering at least 4 problems correctly:

P(at least 4 correct) = P(4 correct and 1 incorrect) + P(5 correct out of 5)

Calculate each part using combinations:

P(4 correct and 1 incorrect) = (35 × 3) / 252

= 0.4167

P(5 correct out of 5) = 0.08 (as calculated in part a)

Now, add these probabilities:

P(at least 4 correct) = 0.4167 + 0.08

= 0.5

Final answer:

The probability that the student will correctly answer all 5 questions is 0.083 (8.3%) and the probability of correctly answering at least 4 questions is 0.5 (50%).

Explanation:

This is a probability question related to the field of combinatorics. To answer the student's question, we have to calculate the probability of correctly answering the questions out of the known ones.

The total ways the instructor can select 5 problems out of 10 is represented by the combination formula C(10,5). This equates to 252.

The student can answer 7 questions, so a) the number of ways of getting all 5 correctly is represented by C(7,5) which equals 21. Therefore, the probability of answering all 5 correctly is 21/252 = 0.083 or 8.3%.

For b), the student aims to answer at least 4 correctly. This means that we calculate the probability for getting 4 and 5 problems correct. For 4 problems it's C(7,4)*C(3,1) = 105. Adding the ways to get 5 problems correct, we get 105+21=126. So, the chance of answering at least 4 correct is 126/252 = 0.5 or 50%.

A.68%

B.67%

C.14%

D.75%

Answers

Answer:  B) 67%

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the Area of the Bullseye and Middle ring

A = π r²

A (inside) = π(8)² = 64π

Find the Area of the entire Target

A (target) = π (14)² = 196π

Find the Area of the Outer ring

A (outer ring) = A (target) - A(inside)

                      =   196 π    -    64π

                      =    132 π

The last step is to find the probability of landing on the outer ring:

(CO 3) A survey indicates that shoppers spend an average of 22 minutes with a standard deviation of 8 minutes in your store and that these times are normally distributed. Find the probability that a randomly selected shopper will spend less than 20 minutes in the store. 0.40 0.50 0.60 0.22

Answers

Final answer:

To calculate the probability of a shopper spending less than 20 minutes in the store, the Z-score is found using the formula Z = (X - μ) / σ, resulting in a Z-score of -0.25, which corresponds to a probability of approximately 0.40.

Explanation:

The question asks for the probability that a randomly selected shopper will spend less than 20 minutes in a store, given that the average time spent is 22 minutes with a standard deviation of 8 minutes, and that these times are normally distributed. To find this probability, we use the Z-score formula:

Z = (X - μ) / σ

Where X is the value we are checking (20 minutes), μ is the mean (22 minutes), and σ is the standard deviation (8 minutes). Plugging in the numbers, we get:

Z = (20 - 22) / 8 = -0.25

Next, we look up the Z-score in a standard normal distribution table, or use a calculator with normal distribution functions, to find the probability that a Z-score is less than -0.25. This probability is approximately 0.40.

force of 400 N stretches a spring 2 m. A mass of 50 kg is attached to the end of the spring and is initially released from the equilibrium position with an upward velocity of 10 m/s. Find the equation of motion?

Answers

Answer:

x = -5 sin (2t)

Step-by-step explanation:

k is the spring stiffness.  The unstretched length of the spring is L.

When the mass is added, the spring stretches to an equilibrium position of L+s, where mg = ks.  When the mass is displaced a distance x (where x is positive if the displacement is down and negative if it's up), the spring is stretched a total distance s + x.

There are two forces on the mass: weight and force from the spring.  Sum of the forces in the downward direction:

∑F = ma

mg − k(s + x) = ma

mg − ks − kx = ma

Since mg = ks:

-kx = ma

Acceleration is second derivative of position, so:

-kx = m d²x/dt²

Let's find k:

F = kx

400 = 2k

k = 200

We know that m = 50.  Substituting:

-200x = 50 d²x/dt²

-4x = d²x/dt²

d²x/dt² + 4x = 0

This is a linear second order differential equation of the form:

x" + ω² x = 0

The solution to this is:

x = A cos (ωt) + B sin (ωt)

Here, ω² = 4, so ω = 2.

x = A cos (2t) + B sin (2t)

We're given initial conditions that x(0) = 0 and x'(0) = -10 (remember that down is positive and up is negative).

Finding x'(t):

x' = -2A sin (2t) + 2B cos (2t)

Plugging in the initial conditions:

0 = A

-10 = 2B

Therefore:

x = -5 sin (2t)

Suppose a variable has a normal distribution with mean 67 and standard deviation 4. What percentage of the distribution is less than 75? (Use z-score.)

It took 2 men 5 hours to build an airstrip. Working at the same rate, how many additional men could have been hired in order for the job to have taken 1/hour less? (A) Two (B) Three (C) Four (D) Six

Answers

Final answer:

The problem is to calculate the number of additional men needed to build an airstrip in less time given two men already took five hours. The additional man required is one after solving the equation, but this is not an option provided, indicating a potential error in the question.

Explanation:

The question involves calculating the number of additional men required to build an airstrip in less time. If it took 2 men 5 hours to build an airstrip, we can say they have a combined work rate of 1 airstrip per 5 hours, or ​​(1/5) airstrip per hour. To finish the job in 4 hours, which is 1 hour less than the original time, we would need a work rate of 1 airstrip per 4 hours.

So, if we let the number of additional men be X, we can set up the equation as follows:

(2 + X) men × 4 hours = 2 men × 5 hours(2 + X) × 4 = 102 + X = 10 / 4X = 2.5 - 2X = 0.5

Since we cannot hire half a person, we round up to the nearest whole number. Hence, one additional man would be sufficient to complete the work in 1 hour less time. However, none of the options given (A) Two, (B) Three, (C) Four, or (D) Six, are correct. Therefore, the answer is not provided in the given options and this represents a possible error in the question itself.

Q1. Ten percent of the items produced by a machine are defective. A random sample of 100 items is selected and checked for defects. What is the standard error of the distribution of the sample proportions? Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer: 0.030

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The percent of the items produced by a machine are defective  :[tex]P=10\%=0.10[/tex]

The percent of the items produced by machine which are not defective:[tex]Q=1-0.1=0.9[/tex]

Sample size : n = 100

Now, the standard error of the proportion is given by :-

[tex]\text{S.E.}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.1\times0.9}{100}}\\\\\Rightarrow\text{S.E.}=0.030[/tex]

Hence, the the standard error of the distribution of the sample proportions=0.030

Final answer:

The standard error for the distribution of sample proportions of a machine producing 10% defective items determined from a random sample of 100 items is ±0.030.

Explanation:

Ten percent of the items produced by a machine are defective. From a random sample of 100 items, the standard error of the sample proportions is calculated using the formula for the standard error of a proportion, which is √(pq/n), where p is the proportion of successes, q is the proportion of failures (1-p), and n is the sample size.

In this case, p is 0.10 (the proportion defective), q is 0.90 (1-p, representing the proportion not defective), and n is 100 (the sample size). Substituting these values into the formula gives: √[(0.10)(0.90) / 100] which equals ±0.030 (rounded to three decimal places).

Therefore, the standard error for the distribution of sample proportions is ±0.030.

The half-life of a certain material is 0.004 second. Approximately how much of a 20-gram sample will be left after 0.016 second?


A. 5 grams


B. 16 grams


C. 0.32 gram


D. 1.25 grams

Answers

Answer:

D. 1.25 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Half-life is: 0.004 sec

Time spent : 0.016 sec

Quantity = 20 gram

In order to find the material after 0.016 sec, we have to calculate how many number of half-lives have been passed

No. of half-lives passed = 0.016/0.004

= 4

The number of lives passed will be raised to the power of 0.5.

0.5 ^ 4 = 0.0625

The answer will be multiplied with the quantity we started with.

Remaining material is:

20*0.0625 = 1.25 grams

Hence, Option D is correct ..

Use induction to prove: For every integer n > 1, the number n5 - n is a multiple of 5.

Answers

Answer:

we need to prove : for every integer n>1, the number [tex]n^{5}-n[/tex] is a multiple of 5.

1) check divisibility for n=1, [tex]f(1)=(1)^{5}-1=0[/tex]  (divisible)

2) Assume that [tex]f(k)[/tex] is divisible by 5, [tex]f(k)=(k)^{5}-k[/tex]

3) Induction,

[tex]f(k+1)=(k+1)^{5}-(k+1)[/tex]

[tex]=(k^{5}+5k^{4}+10k^{3}+10k^{2}+5k+1)-k-1[/tex]

[tex]=k^{5}+5k^{4}+10k^{3}+10k^{2}+4k[/tex]

Now, [tex]f(k+1)-f(k)[/tex]

[tex]f(k+1)-f(k)=k^{5}+5k^{4}+10k^{3}+10k^{2}+4k-(k^{5}-k)[/tex]

[tex]f(k+1)-f(k)=k^{5}+5k^{4}+10k^{3}+10k^{2}+4k-k^{5}+k[/tex]

[tex]f(k+1)-f(k)=5k^{4}+10k^{3}+10k^{2}+5k[/tex]

Take out the common factor,

[tex]f(k+1)-f(k)=5(k^{4}+2k^{3}+2k^{2}+k)[/tex]      (divisible by 5)

add both the sides by f(k)

[tex]f(k+1)=f(k)+5(k^{4}+2k^{3}+2k^{2}+k)[/tex]

We have proved that difference between [tex]f(k+1)[/tex] and [tex]f(k)[/tex] is divisible by 5.

so, our assumption in step 2 is correct.

Since [tex]f(k)[/tex] is divisible by 5, then [tex]f(k+1)[/tex] must be divisible by 5 since we are taking the sum of 2 terms that are divisible by 5.

Therefore, for every integer n>1, the number [tex]n^{5}-n[/tex] is a multiple of 5.

Final answer:

The statement is true for all integers greater than 1.

Explanation:

The n5 - n is a multiple of 5 for every integer n > 1, we will use proof by induction.

Base Case: For n = 2,
n5 - n = 25 - 2 = 32 - 2 = 30,
which is clearly a multiple of 5. Hence, our base case holds true.

Inductive Step: Assume that for some integer k > 1, the statement holds true, i.e.,
k5 - k is a multiple of 5. We need to show that k5 - k + 5(k4 + k3 + k2 + k + 1) is also a multiple of 5.

If k5 - k is a multiple of 5, then adding a number which is a multiple of 5 (5 times a sum of powers of k) to it will also result in a multiple of 5. This means that (k + 1)5 - (k + 1) will be a multiple of 5, hence the statement holds for k + 1. By the principle of mathematical induction, the statement holds true for all integers n > 1.

Stephanie cuts a five-meter-long piece of rope into five equal parts. What is the length of each piece of rope?

Answers

Final answer:

Stephanie cuts the rope into five 1-meter-long pieces by dividing the total length (5 meters) by the number of pieces (5).

Explanation:

If Stephanie cuts a five-meter-long piece of rope into five equal parts, we would divide the total length of the rope by the number of parts to find the length of each piece. In this case, the calculation would be:

Total length of rope = 5 metersNumber of parts = 5Length of each part = Total length of rope ÷ Number of parts

So, the length of each part would be 5 meters ÷ 5, which equals 1 meter. Therefore, each piece of rope would be 1 meter long.
