Answer 2

Since the area 400 gallons will cover, 5520 square feet is less than the area of half a city block which is 45000 square feet, the Newscasters claim is wrong.

What is the area of the city block?

The area of the city block is calculated from the product of the dimensions provided:

The city block is in form of a square, hence it's area = side × side

Dimension of city block = 300 feet by 300 feet.

Area of city block = 90000 square feet

Half of area of city block = 45000 square feet

1 gallon covers 13.8 square feet

400 gallons will cover = 400 × 13.8 = 5520 square feet

The area 400 gallons of coffee will cover is less than 45000 square feet.

Therefore, the news caster's claim is wrong.

Answers

Answer:

7⁵-3=7⁵x- 19

Step-by-step explanation:

16807 - 3 = 7⁵x - 19

16804 = 7⁵x - 19

16804 = 16807x - 1

adding 19 on both sides

16804 + 19 = 16807x - 19 + 19

A corresponds to angle P, so angle P measues 70 degrees.

Similarly, angle Q measures 60 degrees and angle R measures 50 degrees.

If the m<4 = 15, find the measure of <2

Answers

Answer: 75 Degrees

Step-by-step explanation: 1. Due to the law of opposite adjacent angles, we can determine angle 1 is congruent to angle 4 and therefore is 15 degrees 2. Angle 3 is shown to be a right angle (90 degrees) 3. Since angles 1,2, and 3 are on a flat line, the sum of all 3 is 180 4. 15+90 is 105 5. 180-105 is 75 which is the measure of angle 2

At a movie theater, the manager announces that a free ticket will be given to the first person in line whose birthday is the same as someone in line who has already bought a ticket. You have the option of getting in line at any time. Assuming that you don't know anyone else's birthday, and that birthdays are uniformly distributed throughout a 365-day year, what position in line gives you the best chance of being the first duplicate birthday?

please explain how you got this answer. Thank you!​

Answers

The best chance is an illustration of probability

The 21st position in line gives you the best chance of being the first duplicate birthday

How to determine the best position?

Assume you are in the nth position, the probability of getting a free ticket is:

P(n) = P'(first n - 1 people share a birthday) * P(birthday with first n -1 people)

Mathematically, the above can be represented as:

P(n) = [365/365 * 364/365 * 363/365 * ... * (365 - (n -2))/365] * [(n -1)/365]

Such that: n [tex]\le[/tex] 365

When simplified, the equation becomes

p(n)/p(n+1) = 365/(366 - n) * (n - 1)/n

Where

p(n)/p(n+1) > 1

So, we have:

365/(366 - n) * (n - 1)/n > 1

Evaluate the product

(365n -365)/(366n - n²) > 1

Cross multiply

365n -365 > 366n - n²

Collect like terms

n² + 365n - 366n - 365 > 0

Evaluate the difference

n²  - n - 365 > 0

Solve for n using a graphing calculator;

n > - 18.6 or n >19.6

n cannot be negative.

So, we have:

n > 19.6

Approximate to nearest integer

n > 20

The least integer value of n is:

n = 21

Hence, the 21st position in line gives you the best chance of being the first duplicate birthday

IJKL is a rectangle, so opposite sides have the same length:

(3x + 21) - 6 = 2x + 20

3x + 15 = 2x + 20

Find the total amount

Answers

Answer:

The answer would be 20.97273616 or (rounded to the nearest cent) would be $20.97

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason for this is that the formula for compounded interest is [tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^\frac{t}{n}[/tex] where A is the total amount, P is the initial amount, r is the growth factor or the percent, n is the number of compounding periods, and t is the time. You would substitute P for 16, r for 0.14 (14%), n for 2 as it compounded semiannually so it for every 6 months instead of 1 year (annual) so is compounded 2 times per year, and t for 2. And just solve the equation and you get that A is equal to 20.97273616 but since we are talking about money( only round if asked) then it would be 20.97.

They were most likely just lucky to get heads all the time. It will always be 1/2 since the coin is inanimate and is not like selecting classmates from a team, it cannot know it's probabilities and affect it. Thus it is 1/2 probability.

Directly solving the linear equations, we will see that:

a) x = -4b) x = 6c) x = 4/3d) x = 2.

How to solve linear equations?

Let's start with the first one:

3 - x = 11 + x

First, move all the terms with x to the left side and the ones without to the right side:

-x -x = 11 - 3

-2x = 8

Now we divide both sides by -2

x = 8/-2 = -4

x = -4

2) 2x + 7 = 3x + 1

Same procedure:

2x - 3x = 1 - 7

-x = -6

x = -6/-1 = 6

x = 6

3) 8 - 2x = 4 + x

-2x - x = 4 - 8

-3x = -4

x = -4/-3 = 4/3

4) 4x + 2 = 2x + 6

4x - 2x = 6 - 2

2x = 4

x = 4/2 = 2

x = 2

So we solved all linear equations.

Which expression is equivalent to 3
5v ?

Answers

Answer:

x ^5/3 y ^1/3 (the second option listed)

Step-by-step explanation:

So without even solving the expression, you can find the correct option. If you're finding the cube root (or really any square root), you know it will be less than your original number (unless you are working with imaginary numbers, but you aren't).

So, if you are finding the cube root of an expression, you're finding the cube root of each number separately.

You wouldn't be cubing y, you would be finding the cube root. You wouldn't be leaving y the same, you are finding the cube root.

This means that without even solving (which I will explain),

the correct option is the second one on the screen.

Here's how to actually solve the equation:

So, if we are finding the cube root of a variable with an exponent, we can divide that exponent by 3 (because it is a cube root).

When we have a square root, you know that we are breaking down each number/variable into an even exponent to solve the expression. When taking the square root of an even exponent, such as 4, you would divide by 2.

This same strategy applies to cube roots. You are dividing the exponent of both variables by 3.

[remember: the exponent of a variable without an exponent is essentially an invisible exponent of 1.]

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain of a rational function is everywhere except where we set vertical asymptotes. or removable discontinues

Here, we have

[tex] \frac{x(2x - 3)}{(x + 2)x} [/tex]

First, notice we have x in both the numerator and denomiator so we have a removable discounties at x.

Since, we don't want x to be 0,

We have a removable discontinuity at x=0

Now, we have

[tex] \frac{2x - 3}{x + 2} [/tex]

We don't want the denomiator be zero because we can't divide by zero.

so

[tex]x + 2 = 0[/tex]

[tex]x = - 2[/tex]

So our domain is

All Real Numbers except-2 and 0.

The vertical asymptors is x=-2.

To find the horinzontal asymptote, notice how the numerator and denomator have the same degree. So this mean we will have a horinzontal asymptoe of

The leading coeffixent of the numerator/ the leading coefficent of the denomiator.

So that becomes

Triangular prism:

[tex]\boxed{ \text{Volume of triangular prism = base area * h }}[/tex]

b = 6 ft & height of the triangle = 5 ft

[tex]\sf Base \ area = \dfrac{1}{2}* 6* 5[/tex]

               = 3*5

               = 15 ft²

Volume of prism = 15 * 4

                           = 60 ft³

Cylinder:

r = 2÷2 = 1 ft & h = 4 ft

Volume of cylinder = 3.14 * 1 * 1 * 4

                                = 12.56 ft³

Volume of the shape = 60 - 12.56

                                    = 47.44 ft³

Volume of Pyramid = 81 * 8

[tex]\boxed{ \text{Volume of cone = \dfrac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h}}[/tex][tex]\boxed{ \text{Volume of cone = $\dfrac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h$}}[/tex]

r = diameter ÷ 2 = 6÷2

r = 3 m & h = 8 m

[tex]\text{ Volume of cone =$\dfrac{1}{3}*3.14* 3*3*8$}[/tex]

                        = 3.14 * 3 * 8

Volume of the shape = 648 - 75.36

                                     = 572.64 m³

9) Volume of the shape = volume of cylinder + volume of cone

Cylinder:

h = 7 in ; r = 3

[tex]\boxed{\text{Volume of cylinder =$ \pi r^{2}h$}}[/tex]

                                [tex]=\dfrac{22}{7}*3*3*7[/tex]

Cone:

r = 3 in & h = 4 in

[tex]\text{Volume of cone = $ \dfrac{1}{3}*3.14*3*3*4$}[/tex]

                         = 3.14 * 3 * 4

Volume of the shape = 198 + 37.68

                                     = 235.68 in³

Volume of inner cylinder = 3.14  * 5 * 5 * 3

                                          = 235.5 m³

Volume of the shape = 763.02 - 235.5

now putting x into the equation, y = 27.50(12) + 25

First i did the multiplication, 27.50 x 12 = $330.

Then I added 25 to 330 for the down payment, 330 + 25 = 355

I then did 355 - 315 to find out how much more you would pay,

355 - 315 = $40
