Answer:

$a_{89}=1128$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given arithmetic progression is -16, -3, 10,...

We observe that the first term of this progression is $a_1=-16$ .

The constant difference is

$d=-3--16\\d=-3+16=13$

The 89th term of an arithmetic sequence is given by:

$a_{89}=a_1+88d$

We substitute the first term and the common difference to obtain:

$a_{89}=-16+88(13)$

We simplify to get:

$a_{89}=-16+1144$

This simplifies to:

$a_{89}=1128$

If you can buy 1/3 of a box of chocolates for 6 dollars, how much can you buy for 4 dollars?

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Given that 1/3 of a box is 6 dollars, we can say that per dollar is 1/18 of a box. If you have 4 dollars, this would mean that you can buy 4/18 of a box to 2/9 of a box. Hope this answers your question. Have a great day ahead!

Let X represent the amount of time until the next student will arrive in the library parking lot at the university. If we know t

Ber [7]

Answer:

The probability that it will take more than 10 minutes for the next student to arrive at the library parking lot is 0.0821.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X is defined as the amount of time until the next student will arrive in the library parking lot at the university.

The random variable X follows an Exponential distribution with mean, μ = 4 minutes.

The probability density function of X is:

$f_{X}(x)=\lambda e^{\lambda x};\ x\geq 0, \lambda >0$

The parameter of the exponential distribution is:

$\lambda=\frac{1}{\mu}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25$

Compute the value of P (X > 10) as follows:

$P(X>10)=\int\limits^{\infty}_{10}{0.25e^{-0.25x}}\, dx$

$=0.25\times \int\limits^{\infty}_{10}{e^{-0.25x}}\, dx\\=0.25\times |\frac{e^{0.25x}}{-0.25}|^{\infty}_{10}\\=(e^{-0.25\times \infty})-(e^{-0.25\times 10})\\=0.0821$

Thus, the probability that it will take more than 10 minutes for the next student to arrive at the library parking lot is 0.0821.

Marco has drawn a line to represent the perpendicular cross-section of the triangular prism. Is he correct? Explain. triangular

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Yes, the line should be perpendicular to one of the rectangular faces

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

A triangular prism lying on a rectangular base and a line drawn along the slant height

A perpendicular bisector should therefore be perpendicular with reference to the base of the triangular prism such that the cross section will be congruent to the triangular faces

Therefore Marco is correct and the correct option is yes, the line should be perpendicular to one of the rectangular faces (the face the prism is lying on).

A yogurt shop offers 6 different flavors of frozen yogurt and 12 different toppings. How many choices are possible for a single

Goryan [66]

Answer:

#3) 72; #4) 40,320; #5) 90.

Step-by-step explanation:

#3) The number of possible choices are found by multiplying the choices of flavors and the choices of toppings:

6*12=72.

#4) The ordering of 8 cards is a permutation, given by 8!=40,320.

#5) This is a permutation of 10 objects taken 2 at a time:

P(10,2) = 10!/(10-2)!=10!/8!=90.

P.S I had the same question once.

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Not all tiles will be used. Match each equation with the operation yo

Tanzania [10]

The quadratic equations and their solutions are;

9 ± √33 /4 = 2x² - 9x + 6.

4 ± √6 /2 = 2x² - 8x + 5.

9 ± √89 /4 = 2x² - 9x - 1.

4 ± √22 /2 = 2x² - 8x - 3.

Explanation:

Any quadratic equation of the form, ax² + bx + c = 0 can be solved using the formula x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a. Here a, b, and c are the coefficients of the x², x, and the numeric term respectively.

We have to solve all of the five equations to be able to match the equations with their solutions.

2x² - 8x + 5, here a = 2, b = -8, c = 5. x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a = -(-8) ± √(-8)² - 4(2)(5) / 2(2) = 8 ± √64 - 40/4. 24 can also be written as 4 × 6 and √4 = 2. So x = 8 ± 2√6 / 2×2= 4±√6/2.

2x² - 10x + 3, here a = 2, b = -10, c = 3. x =-b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a =-(-10) ± √(-10)² - 4(2)(3) / 2(4) = 10 ± √100 + 24/4. 124 can also be written as 4 × 31 and √4 = 2. So x = 10 ± 2√31 / 2×2 = 5 ± √31 /2.

2x² - 8x - 3, here a = 2, b = -8, c = -3. x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a = -(-8) ± √(-8)² - 4(2)(-3) / 2(2) = 8 ± √64 + 24/4. 88 can also be written as 4 × 22 and √4 = 2. So x = 8 ± 2√22 / 2×2 = 4± √22/2.

2x² - 9x - 1, here a = 2, b = -9, c = -1. x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a = -(-9) ± √(-9)² - 4(2)(-1) / 2(2) = 9 ± √81 + 8/4. x = 9 ± √89 / 4.

2x² - 9x + 6, here a = 2, b = -9, c = 6. x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a = -(-9) ± √(-9)² - 4(2)(6) / 2(2) = 9 ± √81 - 48/4. x = 9 ± √33 / 4

To match we solve the monomials.

1. -15u^3 + 5u^3

Adding

-15u^3 + 5u^3=-10u^3

2. 10u^3 +(-5u^3)

Adding

10u^3-5u^3=5u^3

3. 10u^3 + 5u^3

Adding

10u^3 + 5u^3=15u^3

4. 5u^3+ (-10u^3)

Adding

5u^3-10u^3 =-5u^3

Two separate ways to find the answers.
