Answer:

The length of the remaining piece of thread is  \frac{1}{16}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A tailor cuts a piece of thread One-half of an inch long from a piece Nine-sixteenths of an inch long.

Now, to find the length of the remaining piece of thread.

Total thread  = \frac{9}{16} \ inch.

Tailor cuts a piece of thread = \frac{1}{2}\ inch.  

Now, to get the length of the remaining piece of thread by subtracting tailor cuts a piece of thread from the total thread:

\frac{9}{16} -\frac{1}{2} \\\\=\frac{9-8}{16} \\\\=\frac{1}{16}

Therefore, the length of the remaining piece of thread is  \frac{1}{16}.

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

d. The random variable is the number of years in which the temperature increased from the previous year.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable is the amount of years that have higher average temperatures than its previous year.

As the sample is from 5 years, the random variable can take values from 0 (where none of the years increase their average temperature from its previous year) to 4 (where every year increases the average temperature).

What is the sum of all positive integers smaller than $1000$ that can be written in the form $100\cdot 2^n$, where $n$ is an int
netineya [11]

Answer:

The sum is 1575.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that positive integers smaller than 1000 and that can be written in the form 100\cdot 2^n

Where n is integer that means the value of n can be a positive number or a negative number.

For n = 0

100\cdot 2^{0}=100

For n=-1

100\cdot 2^{-1}=50

For n=-2

100\cdot 2^{-2}=25

For n = -3 the obtained number is not an integer.

Now consider the positive value of n.

For n=1

100\cdot2^1 = 200

For n=2

100\cdot2^2 = 400

 For n=3

100\cdot2^3 = 800

For n=4 the obtained number is greater than 1000.

Now add all the numbers.

100+50+25+200+400+800=1575

Hence, the sum is 1575.

The nth term of a sequence is 2n2 − 1 The nth term of a different sequence is 40 − n2 Show that there is only one number that is
allsm [11]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

nth term of a sequence = 2n² - 1

Therefore, terms of the sequence will be,

1, 7, 17, 31, 49, ........... n terms

nth term of a different sequence = 40 - n²

Therefore, terms of the sequence will be,

39, 36, 31, 24, 15, 4, -9, -24 .......... n terms  

Since, there is no negative number in the first sequence,

Therefore, out of 6 positive terms of second sequence only one number (31) is common in both the sequences.
