Answer:

3/4 of the pie is left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Cut the pie into 2 equal pieces. Each piece is 1/2 of the pie.

Step 2: Cut each half in half. Each new smallest piece is now 1/4 of the pie.

Step 3. Cut each 1/4 pie in half. Each new smallest piece is 1/8 of the pie.

Now 2 of the smallest pieces are eaten.

That means 2 of the 1/8 pie size are eaten.

2 * 1/8 = 2/1 * 1/8 = 1/4

1/4 of the pie was eaten.

The remaining part is 1 pie minus 1/4 pie.

1 - 1/4 = 1/1 - 1/4 = 4/4 - 1/4 = 3/4

Answer: 3/4 of the pie is left.

Simplify the function f (x) = one-third (81) Superscript StartFraction 3 x Over 4 EndFraction. Then determine the key aspects of
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

The answer is given below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

f(x)=\frac{1}{3}(81)^ \frac{3x}{4} \\Using\ exponent\ rule:a^{xy}=a^xa^y\\f(x)=\frac{1}{3}(81^{1/4})^ {3x}\\f(x)=\frac{1}{3}(3})^ {3x}\\f(x)=\frac{(3)^ {3x}}{3^1} \\Using\ exponent\ rule:a^x/a^y=a^{x-y}\\f(x)=3^ {3x-1}

The function is an exponential function.

The domain is the set of all independent variables i.e the input values (x values). For an exponential function, the domain is the set of all real numbers. That is:

Domain: x = (-∞, ∞)

The range is the set of all dependent variables i.e the values of y. For an exponential function, the range is the set of all real numbers greater than zero. That is:

Range: y = (0, ∞)

The diagram shows the sequence of three rigid transformations used to map TriangleABC onto TriangleA"B"C". What is the sequence
Igoryamba

Answer:

Rotation, then reflection, then translation

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence of three rigid transformations that is used to map Triangle ABC onto TriangleA"B"C" are what we called ROTATION ,REFLECTION AND TRANSLATION

ROTATION can be defined as the process or waysbin which an object tend to rotate about a fixed point without the object changing either its size or shape.

REFLECTION occur in a situation where an object is been flipped across a line without the object changing either its size or shape.

TRANSLATION can be defined as the process or ways of sliding a figure in any or various direction without the figure changing either its size or shape .

Leah borrows £10,000 over 5 years at a simple interest rate of 15%.
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

She will pay $7,500 interest over the 5 years

She will have to pay back $17,500 in total

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the rule of the simple interest

<em>I</em> = <em>Prt</em> and <em>A</em> = <em>P</em>(1 +<em> rt</em>) , where:

  • A = Total Accrued Amount (principal + interest)
  • P = Principal Amount
  • I = Interest Amount
  • r = Rate of Interest per year in decimal
  • t = Time Period involved in months or years

∵ Leah borrows £10,000 over 5 years at a simple interest rate of 15%.

∴ P = 10,000

∴ t = 5

∴ r = 15% = \frac{15}{100} = 0.15

→ Substitute them in the first rule to find the interest

∵ I = 10,000(0.15)(5)

∴ I = 7,500

∴ She will pay $7,500 interest over the 5 years

→ Let us find A

∵ A = 10,000(1 + 0.15×5)

∴ A = 17,500

∴ She will have to pay back $17,500 in total

Suppose the area that can be painted using a single can of spray paint is slightly variable and follows a nearly normal distribu
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

You have the variable

X: Area that can be painted with a can of spray paint (feet²)

The variable has a normal distribution with mean μ= 25 feet² and standard deviation δ= 3 feet²

since the variable has a normal distribution, you have to convert it to standard normal distribution to be able to use the tabulated accumulated probabilities.

a.

P(X>27)

First step is to standardize the value of X using Z= (X-μ)/ δ ~N(0;1)

P(Z>(27-25)/3)

P(Z>0.67)

Now that you have the corresponding Z value you can look for it in the table, but since tha table has probabilities of P(Z, you have to do the following conervertion:

P(Z>0.67)= 1 - P(Z≤0.67)= 1 - 0.74857= 0.25143

b.

There was a sample of 20 cans taken and you need to calculate the probability of painting on average an area of 540 feet².

The sample mean has the same distribution as the variable it is ariginated from, but it's variability is affected by the sample size, so it has a normal distribution with parameners:

X[bar]~N(μ;δ²/n)

So the Z you have to use to standardize the value of the sample mean is Z=(X[bar]-μ)/(δ/√n)~N(0;1)

To paint 540 feet² using 20 cans you have to paint around 540/20= 27 feet² per can.

c.

P(X≤27) = P(Z≤(27-25)/(3/√20))= P(Z≤2.98)= 0.999

d.

No. If the distribution is skewed and not normal, you cannot use the normal distribution to calculate the probabilities. You could use the central limit theorem to approximate the sampling distribution to normal if the sample size was 30 or grater but this is not the case.

I hope it helps!
