Simpson's 1/3 Rule provides a more accurate approximation because it uses a quadratic function to model the curve, as opposed to the linear function used by the Trapezoidal Rule.
The number of ways to select at least 2 defective transformers involves cases with 2, 3, or 4 defectives. Calculations involve combinations: select C(4,2) * C(10,3) + C(4,3) * C(10,2) + C(4,4) * C(10,1). These sum to 328 ways.
To maximize the volume V = x^2h under the constraint 4x + h = 100, solve using substitution: h = 100 - 4x. Maximize V = x^2(100 - 4x). Using calculus, take the derivative, set it to zero, solve for x, and substitute back to find h. The length for maximum volume is at x = 12.5, h = 50. Maximum volume is 12.5^2 * 50 = 7812.5 cubic inches.
Let x be the original number by which the proposition was lost. The new majority is 2x and the ratio of the new majority to the old majority is 8:7. Therefore, 2x = 8/7 * x. Solving for x gives x = 56. Thus, the majority changed by (2x - x) = 56.
Using principles from calculus related to optimization, the station should be positioned such that the weighted sum of distances to the points nearest the towns is minimized. This requires finding S where (a^2 + (x-c)^2)^(1/2) + (b^2 + x^2)^(1/2) is minimal.
The area can be calculated by integrating the difference in the polar representations of the cardioid and the circle. Setup the integral as A = (1/2)∫((1+cosθ)^2 - 1^2)dθ from θ = 0 to 2π. Solving this integral gives the area A = (5/3)π - 4/3.
The probability of sending no emails when averaging 2 emails per hour is given by the Poisson distribution with λ = 2. P(X=0) = e^(-λ) * λ^0 / 0! = e^(-2). Calculating gives the probability ≈ 0.1353.
The length of the tangent segment is found using the formula for the distance from the center of one circle to a point on another circle. Let R = 9 and r = 4 (radii of the two circles). The tangent length is sqrt(R^2 - r^2) = sqrt(9^2 - 4^2) = sqrt(65)
The radius of curvature ρ at a point is given by ρ = [(1 + (dy/dx)^2)^(3/2)] / |d^2y/dx^2|. Find dy/dx and d^2y/dx^2 at t = 1: dy/dx = 2t/4 = t/2 and d^2y/dx^2 = 2t. At t = 1, ρ = [(1 + (1/2)^2)^(3/2)] / |2/4| = 5√3/3.
The characteristic equation is r^2 - r + 2 = 0, which has complex roots. Solving this, we get two complex roots: r = 1/2 ± sqrt(7)/2 i. Therefore, the general solution is y = e^(x/2) (C1 cos(sqrt(7)x/2) + C2 sin(sqrt(7)x/2))
