Suppose you have a sequence of rigid motions to map AXYZ to APQR. Fill in the blank for each transformation.

The new angle at which the tree is leaning is approximately 47.56 degrees.

To calculate the new angle of the tree after it leans back, we can use the concept of similar triangles. Initially, you have a shadow of 8 feet while being 5.5 feet tall. The tree's shadow is 48 feet long. Let's denote the height of the tree as H.

Using the initial measurements, we can set up the proportion:

5.5 / 8 = H / 48

Solving for H, we get:

H = (5.5 / 8) * 48 = 33 feet

Now, the tree leans back, and its shadow is now 30 feet long. We can use the tangent function to find the angle at which the tree is leaning:

tan(angle) = opposite / adjacent
tan(angle) = 33 / 30

To find the angle, we can take the inverse tangent:

angle = arctan(33 / 30)

angle ≈ 47.56 degrees

So, the new angle at which the tree is leaning is approximately 47.56 degrees.

The standardized residuals are -0.21, -0.61, -0.04, 0.88, and 2.18.

(a) The estimated regression equation for these data is given by:

ŷ = b0 + b1x

where b0 is the y-intercept and b1 is the slope of the regression line. We can find the values of b0 and b1 using the following formulas:

b1 = (nΣxy - ΣxΣy) / (nΣx2 - (Σx)2)

b0 = y - b1X

where n is the number of observations, Σxy is the sum of the products of corresponding values of x and y, Σx and Σy are the sums of x and y values, Σx2 is the sum of the squares of x values, x is the mean of x values, and y is the mean of y values.

Using the given data, we have:

n = 5

Σx = 70

Σy = 78

Σxy = 834

Σx2 = 710

x = Σx / n = 70 / 5 = 14

y = Σy / n = 78 / 5 = 15.6

b1 = (nΣxy - ΣxΣy) / (nΣx2 - (Σx)2) = (5834 - 7078) / (5710 - 7070) = 0.828

b0 = y - b1x = 15.6 - 0.828*14 = 4.44

Therefore, the estimated regression equation is:

ŷ = 4.44 + 0.828x

(b) To compute the residuals, we need to subtract the predicted y values (ŷ) from the actual y values (yi). The residuals are given by:

(c) To compute the standardized residuals, we need to divide each residual by the estimated standard error of the regression (s). The estimated standard error of the regression is given by:

s = √[Σ(yi - ŷ)2 / (n - 2)]

Using the residuals from part (b), we have:

n = 5

Σ(yi - ŷ)2 = 78.14

s = √[Σ(yi - ŷ)2 / (n - 2)] = √[78.14 / 3] = 5.06

a)

The cost per payment is 155.5.

b)

The value of 3 in the standard deviation principle is 1376.711.

We have,

a)

To calculate E(X^ 105), we first need to find the probability distribution of X after applying the deductible of 105.

Any loss below 105 will result in no payment, and any loss above or equal to 105 will result in payment equal to the loss minus the deductible.

Thus, the probability distribution of the payments.

Payment: 0 0 0 29 29 75 75 75 75 105 245 419 419

Probability: 0 0 0 1/12 1/12 1/6 1/6 1/6 1/6 1/12 1/12 1/12 1/12

Using this probability distribution, we can calculate E(X^ 105) as follows:

E(X^ 105) = 0^2 * 0 + 29^2 * (1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12) + 75^2 * (1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6) + 105^2 * (1/12) + 245^2 * (1/12) + 419^2 * (1/12)

= 34390.5833

The cost per payment ex(105) is simply the expected payment per policyholder, which can be calculated as follows:

ex(105) = 29  (1/3) + 75 * (2/3) + 105 * (1/6) + 245 * (1/6) + 419 * (1/6)

= 155.5

b)

The standard deviation principle states that the total cost of claims, including the deductible, should be equal to the product of the standard deviation and the value of the insurance against risk.

In this case, the insurance against risk is the maximum amount that the insurance company is willing to pay per policyholder, which is 105. Thus, we have:

105 + Bo = s(X) x VaR

where s(X) is the standard deviation of X and VaR is the value at risk, which is the amount that the company expects to pay out with a certain probability (usually 99% or 99.5%).

We can solve for Bo as follows:

Bo = s(X) * VaR - 105

Assuming a VaR of 99%, we need to find the 1% percentile of X, which is the value x such that P(X ≤ x) = 0.01.

From the empirical distribution, we can see that the 1% percentile is 94. Thus, we have:

VaR = 105 - 94 = 11

To calculate s(X), we first need to find the mean of X, which is:

mean(X) = (94 + 3104 + 2134 + 4*180 + 210 + 350 + 524)/13 = 224

Using the formula for the sample standard deviation, we get:

s(X) = √((1/12)((94-224)^2 + 3(104-224)^2 + 2*(134-224)^2 + 4*(180-224)^2 + (210-224)^2 + (350-224)^2 + (524-224)^2))

= 142.701

Now,

Bo = 142.701 x 11 - 105

= 1376.711

Thus,

The cost per payment is 155.5.

The value of 3 in the standard deviation principle is 1376.711.

The three consecutive odd integers are 27, 29, and 31.

Given that three consecutive odd integers their sum is two times third number plus 25

Let's call the first odd integer "x." Since the integers are consecutive odd numbers, therefore, the next two odd integers would be x+2 and x+4.

Now according to the problem, their sum is equal to two times the third number (x+4) plus 25:

x + (x+2) + (x+4) = 2(x+4) + 25

Simplifying the left side:

Louisa would need to invest $32,172.75 semiannually to have $44000 in four years if the fund she has selected pays 8.1% annually, compounded semiannually.

To have $44000 in four years, Louisa would need to invest a total of $x in the fund that pays 8.1% annually, compounded semiannually.

Using the formula for compound interest, we can solve for x:

A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)

Where:
A = the total amount (in this case, $44000)
P = the principal amount (the amount Louisa needs to invest)
r = the annual interest rate (8.1%)
n = the number of times the interest is compounded per year (semiannually = 2)
t = the number of years (4)

Plugging in these values:

44000 = P(1 + 0.081/2)^(2*4)

44000 = P(1.0405)^8

44000 = P(1.366)

P = 32172.75

The rule for the composed transformation formed by the translation 8 units right and 5 units down followed by a 180 degree rotation is (x, y) --> (8-x, -5-y)

The rule for the transformation formed by the translation 8 units right and 5 units down followed by a 180-degree rotation can be determined by considering the effect of each transformation separately and then composing them.

First, let's consider the effect of the translation. A translation moves every point in the plane a certain distance in a certain direction. In this case, we are translating 8 units to the right and 5 units down. So, if we have a point (x, y), the translated point will be (x+8, y-5).

Next, let's consider the effect of the 180-degree rotation. A rotation of 180 degrees flips a figure around a line of symmetry, which in this case would be the point where the horizontal line passing through the midpoint of the translation intersects the vertical line passing through the midpoint of the translation. This point is (4, -2.5).

Thus, if we start with a point (x, y), the effect of the translation is to move it to (x+8, y-5), and the effect of the rotation is to flip it around the point (4, -2.5). Therefore, the rule for the composed transformation is:

(x, y) --> (x+8, y-5) --> (8-x, -5-y)

In other words, to apply this transformation to a point, we first translate it 8 units right and 5 units down, and then we reflect it across the point (4, -2.5).

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the horizontal distance to a ship if the angle of depression to it is 42° from a station 872 feet high.

The tangent relation is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

In the model of this problem, the distance adjacent to the angle of depression is the distance to the ship (x). The opposite distance is the height of the observation point, and the angle is the angle of depression:

  tan(42°) = (872 ft)/x

  x = (872 ft)/tan(42°) ≈ 968.45 ft

The horizontal distance to the ship is 968.45 feet.

To clarify, if an object in the shape of a square has a sidereal extension of 5 spatial units, then it's overall measurement will equal 25 quadrangular units (5 x 5 = 25).

It is particularly pertinent to note that expressions for physical space, such as those associated with centimeters, meters or even feet are invariably employed when referring to areas corresponding to squares.

Answer:

E. (20 × 9) - (3 × 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the shape can be calculated by using the expression in the following options:

A.

C.

D.

E.

I will give some examples for how we know these options are goving the area:

For option E;

We can draw a smaller polygon to complete the shape.

Then we can multiply height and width of the bigger shape and subtract the area of the smaller poligon (the red rectangle) from the area of the bigger poligon.

For option A;

It has same logic with option E, just missing the step, where it calculates the value of smaller polygon.

(i) The transfer function of the system is:

H(z) = (0.4)^z / (0.2)^z - 0.3(0.4)^(z-1) / (0.2)^{z-1} - 2

(ii) The difference equation characterizing the system is:
y[n] = (0.4)^n x[n] - 0.3(0.4)^(n-1) x[n-1]

(i) To determine the transfer function of the system, we can take the Z-transform of both the input and output:

X(z) = (0.2)^z / (z - 0.4)
Y(z) = (0.4)^z / (z - 0.4) - 0.3(0.4)^(z-1) / (z - 0.4)

Then we can solve for the transfer function H(z) by dividing Y(z) by X(z):

H(z) = Y(z) / X(z)
    = (0.4)^z / (z - 0.4) - 0.3(0.4)^(z-1) / (z - 0.4) * (z - 0.4) / (0.2)^z
    = (0.4)^z / (0.2)^z - 0.3(0.4)^(z-1) / (0.2)^{z-1} - 2

So the transfer function of the system is H(z) = (0.4)^z / (0.2)^z - 0.3(0.4)^(z-1) / (0.2)^{z-1} - 2.

(ii) To determine the difference equation characterizing the system, we can use the formula for the output y[n] of a discrete-time LTI system with input x[n]:

y[n] = sum{k=0}{N-1} h[k] x[n-k]

where h[k] is the impulse response of the system. In this case, the impulse response can be found by setting x[n] = delta[n], the unit impulse function, and solving for y[n]:

h[n] = y[n] / delta[n]
    = (0.4)^n - 0.3(0.4)^(n-1)

So the difference equation characterizing the system is:

y[n] = (0.4)^n x[n] - 0.3(0.4)^(n-1) x[n-1]

Answer:

6 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s call the speed of the ferry in still water v. Then, we can use the formula:

distance = rate × time

to set up two equations for the trip upriver and downriver:

24 = (v - 6) × t1

24 = (v + 6) × t2

where t1 is the time it takes to travel upriver and t2 is the time it takes to travel downriver.

We also know that the total time for the round trip is 8 hours:

t1 + t2 = 8

We can solve this system of equations by first solving for t1 and t2 in terms of v:

t1 = 24 / (v - 6)

t2 = 24 / (v + 6)

Substituting these expressions into the equation for total time gives:

24 / (v - 6) + 24 / (v + 6) = 8

Multiplying both sides by (v - 6)(v + 6) gives:

24(v + 6) + 24(v - 6) = 8(v - 6)(v + 6)

Simplifying this equation gives:

48v = 288

So v = 6.

Therefore, the speed of the ferry in still water is 6 mph.
