The Beginning of Brown

James and Noel sat on the steps of their new house. It was going to be a hot day, but the boys preferred sitting outside to unpacking more boxes inside. Their mom was unpacking kitchen stuff, and the boys had grown tired of hearing her exclaim every time she unwrapped another of the teapots she hadn't seen in months.
"You'd think she'd have enough teapots by now," said James.
"Yeah," said Noel, "I don't get that excited about my Godzilla collection and that is way more interesting than any teapot."
"And I'm sorry," said James, "but I know way too much about teapots for a boy my age."
James then started listing all the things he knew about teapots. "There's the spout and the pouring angle," he began. But Noel had already tuned James out. The heat was rising and as tired as he was of his mother's teapots, he was more tired of James' complaining.
Besides, there was a raggedy old dog down the street. Noel could tell, even from far away, this was a dog that belonged to no one. Its coat was matted. It had no collar. All he could see of the dog's face was its nose sticking out. Its coat was all brown, but a dirty, grayish brown, not the deep dark warm brown that made you feel safe.
"And there's that teapot with the flowers. The brown one with the little dots all in a row," James continued on his rant, now listing all the teapots he had unwrapped for Mom. Noel continued ignoring James and watched the dog.
It was moving slowly in their general direction. It stopped at various spots along the curb to smell things. Sometimes the smelling took a very long time. Every now and then it would sit down to scratch behind its ear. Noel wondered if it was looking for something to eat.
James jabbered on and Noel began to wonder how a dog came to be in such a sad condition as this one. Did no one ever want it? Even as a puppy, was this fellow not cute enough to find a good family? Had it always been this ugly? Hadn't anyone ever been kind to it? The dog was across the street now, one house over. It seemed to be particularly attracted to mailboxes and the plants around them. To Noel's mind, it appeared that the dog was greeting each family on the street.
Noel watched the dog cross the street heading in their direction. He hadn't noticed it before, but the dog's head seemed rather large. It swung back and forth in front of its body, much like the bears Noel had seen at the zoo and on television. Noel could not see any eyes through all the matted hair. He could see gnats and flies hovering over the poor thing, waiting for it to sit down again.
It lumbered toward them. Noel noticed that James had stopped talking. He looked over at his brother. Staring at the dog, James seemed to be a bit shocked or surprised, maybe even stunned.
"What is that?" James whispered.
Instead of sniffing their mailbox and moving on like before, the dog started up the sidewalk toward the steps where they were sitting. Noel could hear the flies buzzing and see not just a few gnats, but a whole swarm around the dog. Bits of leaves and twigs hung in its hair. The dog continued toward them. Was it going to stop, wondered Noel. Should I get up and get in the house? But then, just when Noel felt a twinge of panic, the dog sat down, wagged its tail, and smiled. Noel had never seen anything like it before. It was as if the dog, flies and all, were posing for a photographer. It is going to be an interesting summer, thought Noel.

The median value of x is 2.

According to the statement

we have given the values of x at some points then

and we have to find the median for the x.

We know that the median formula is {(n + 1) ÷ 2}th, where “n” is the number of items in the set and “th” just means the (n)th number.

and after put the values in this formula we get our median value for x.

So,

we have given that the f(x) is 0.2 when x is from -1 to 0

and f(x) is 0.2 +1.2x when x is grater than 0 but less than 1

and f(x) is 0 when x is less than -1 or grater than 1

From these statements it is clear that the the f(x) is only exist when the x lies in between from the -1 to 1.

So, the total value of x becomes is -1,0,1

Then according to the median formula

median = (n + 1) ÷ 2

median = (3+1) / 2

median = 2.

So, The median value of x is 2.

The canonical expression equivalent to sinusoidal model y(t) = 2 · sin (4π · t) + 5 · cos (4π · t) is y(t) = (√ 29) · sin (4π · t + 0.379π) .

Herein we have a simple harmonic motion model represented by a sinusoidal expression of the form y(t) = A · sin (C · t) + B · cos (C · t), which must be transformed into its canonical form, that is, y(t) = A' · sin (C · t + D). We proceed to perform the procedure by algebraic and trigonometric handling.

The amplitude of the canonical function is determined by the Pythagorean theorem:

A' = √(2² + 5²)

A' = √ 29

The angular frequency C  is the constant within the trigonometric functions from the non-canonical formula:

C = 4π

Then, we find the initial position of the weight in time: (t = 0)

y(0) = 2 · sin (4π · 0) + 5 · cos (4π · 0)

y(0) = 5

And now we calculate the angular phase below: (A' = √ 29, C = 4π, y = 5)

5 = √ 29 · sin (4π · 0 + D)

5 / √ 29 = sin D

D ≈ 0.379π rad

The canonical expression equivalent to sinusoidal model y(t) = 2 · sin (4π · t) + 5 · cos (4π · t) is y(t) = (√ 29) · sin (4π · t + 0.379π) .

The volume of the given solid is 6322.75 cubic units.

What is the volume of the given figure?

It is given that,

The area of the regular pentagonal base, a = 35 units

Altitude of the given pyramid, h = 9 units

The formula for the volume of a pyramid with regular pentagonal base is given by,

V = (5/12) × tan(54°)ha²

Substituting the given values of a and h, we get the volume as,

V = (5/12) × tan(54°) × 9 × (35)²

V = (5/12) × (1.376) × 9 × 1225

V = (5/4) × (1.376) × 3 × 1225

V = (5/4) × 5056.8

8046 + 447 = $8493

To estimate his commission rate, we can utilize the subsequent equation

89400 × rate percentage = 8493

Rate percentage = 8493 / 89400

Rate percentage = 0.095

a. The continuous growth rate of the bacteria is 21%

b. The initial population of bacteria is 715

c. The culture will contain 2043 bacteria after 6 × 10⁻⁴ years

Since [tex]n(t) = 715e^{0.21t}[/tex] represents the number of bacteria in the culture.

This function is similar to an exponential function of the form  [tex]y(t) = Ae^{\lambda t}[/tex] where λ = growth rate

Comparing n(t) and y(t), we see that λ = 0.21

So, the continuous growth rate of the bacteria is 0.21 = 0.21 × 100 %

= 21%

So, the continuous growth rate of the bacteria is 21%

Since [tex]n(t) = 715e^{0.21t}[/tex] represents the number of bacteria in the culture, the initial population of bacteria is obtained when t = 0.

So, [tex]n(t) = 715e^{0.21t}[/tex]

[tex]n(0) = 715e^{0.21(0)} \\= 715e^{0} \\= 715 X 1\\= 715[/tex]

So, the initial population of bacteria is 715

To find the time when the number of bacteria will be 2043, this means n(t) = 2043.

Since  [tex]n(t) = 715e^{0.21t}[/tex]

Making t subject of the formula, we have

t = ㏑[n(t)/715]/0.21

So, substituting n(t) = 2043 into the equation, we have

t = ㏑[n(t)/715]/0.21

t = ㏑[2043/715]/0.21

t = ㏑[2.8573]/0.21

t = 1.05/0.21

t = 4.99

t ≅ 5 hours

Converting this to years, we have t = 5 h × 1 day/24h × 1 year/365 days

= 5/8760
