Astatistics student would like to estimate the average age of students at her college. she would like to be 99% confident that her estimate includes the actual college population mean. she did a smaller preliminary survey and found that a reasonable estimate of the population standard deviation was 2 1/2 years. how many people must she survey if she wants to be within 1/2 year of the true population mean?

To find the extreme values of a function f(x.y) on a curve x-x(t), y y(t), treat f as a function of the single variable t and use the chain rule to find where df/dt is zero. in any other single-variable case, the extreme values of f are then found among the values at the critical points (points where df/dt is zero or fails to exist), and endpoints of the parameter domain. find the absolute maximum and minimum values of the following function on the given curves. use the parametric equations x=2cos t, y 2 sin t functions: curves: i) the semicircle x4,y20 i) the quarter circle x2+y-4, x20, y20 b, g(x,y)=xy

Astick 2 m long is placed vertically at point b. the top of the stick is in line with the top of a tree as seen from point a, which is 3 m from the stick and 30 m from the tree. how tall is the tree?
