Answer:

The percent decrease in the number of cheese sticks you can buy for $1 is 80%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Cheese sticks that were previously priced at "10 for $1" are now "2 for $1".

To find : The percent decrease in the number of cheese sticks you can buy for $1 ?

Solution :

The formula used to find percent decrease is given by,

$\%\text{ change}=\frac{\text{Amount of change}}{\text{Original amount }}\times 100$

The price change from 10 to 2,

$\%\text{ change}=\frac{10-2}{10}\times 100$

$\%\text{ change}=\frac{8}{10}\times 100$

$\%\text{ change}=80\%$

The percent decrease in the number of cheese sticks you can buy for $1 is 80%.

Answer:

=(k−1)*P(X>k−1) or (k−1)365k(365k−1)(k−1)!

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we need to find PMF

Let X = k represent the case in which there is no birthday match within (k-1) people

However, there is a birthday match when kth person arrives

Hence, there is 365^k possibilities in birthday arrangements

Supposing (k-1) dates are placed on specific days in a year

Pick one of k-1 of them & make it the date of the kth person that arrives, then:

The CDF is P(X≤k)=(1−(365k)k)/!365k, so the can obtain the PMF by

P(X=k) =P (X≤k) − P(X≤k−1)=(1−(365k)k!/365^k)−(1−(365k−1)(k−1)!/365^(k−1))=

(k−1)/365^k * (365k−1) * (k−1)!

=(k−1)*(1−P(X≤k−1))

=(k−1)*P(X>k−1)

0.01234567901 as a fraction

balu736 [363]

Answer: 1234567901 /100000000000

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the decimal number to a fraction by placing the decimal number over a power of ten. Since there are 11 numbers to the right of the decimal point, place the decimal number over 10 ∧11 ( 100000000000 ) . Next, add the whole number to the left of the decimal.

1234567901 /100000000000

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

56 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We need ro find the GCD of these numbers. In finding the GCD, we list the multiples of the number, beginning with the smallest number. Here, the

The factors of 616=2*2*2*7*11

The factors of 448 =2*2*2*2*2*2*7

Common factors in both are 2*2*2*7=56

Therefore, the greatest possible length is 56 cm

monitta

Answer:

$P(t)=M+Ce^{-kt}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the differential model

$\dfrac{dP}{dt}=k[M-P(t)]$

We are required to solve the equation for P(t).

$\dfrac{dP}{dt}=kM-kP(t)\\$Add kP(t) to both sides\\\dfrac{dP}{dt}+kP(t)=kM\\$Taking the integrating factor\\e^{\int k dt} =e^{kt}\\$Multiply all through by the integrating factor\\\dfrac{dP}{dt}e^{kt}+kP(t)e^{kt}=kMe^{kt}\\\dfrac{dP}{dt}e^{kt}=kMe^{kt}\\(Pe^{kt})'=kMe^{kt} dt\\$Take the integral of both sides with respect to t\\\int (Pe^{kt})'=\int kMe^{kt} dt\\Pe^{kt}=kM \int e^{kt} dt\\Pe^{kt}=\dfrac{kM}{k} e^{kt} + C_0, C_0$ a constant of integration$

$Pe^{kt}=Me^{kt} + C\\$Divide both side by e^{kt}\\P(t)=M+Ce^{-kt}\\P(t)=M+Ce^{-kt}\\$Therefore:\\P(t)=M+Ce^{-kt}$

------------

g+2

Step-by-step explanation:

g+1 5g+4

------------- - ------------------

g+2 g+2

Since the denominators are the same, subtract the numerators

g+1 - (5g+4)

Distribute the negative sign

g+1 -5g-4

-4g-3

Put this back over the denominator
