Answer:

1/2 (1 half)

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of different sandwiches is calculated multiplying all of the possibilities for each material used:

rye or white bread: 2 options

ham or turkey: 2 options

cheese or no cheese: 2 options

So the number of different sandwiches that can be made is 2*2*2 = 8.

From these 8 different sandwiches, 4 have cheese and 4 have no cheese, as the staff made a equal number of each type of sandwich.

So, if from 8 different type of sandwiches, 4 have cheese, the chances of Mary getting a sandwich with cheese is 4/8 = 1/2 (1 half).

Find the eccentricity, b. identify the conic, c. give an equation of the directrix, and d. sketch the conic.
densk [106]

Answer:

a) 10/3  

b) hyperbola

c) x = ± 6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

a) A conic section with a focus at the origin, a directrix of x = ±p where p is a positive real number and positive eccentricity (e) has a polar equation:

r=\frac{ep}{1\pm e*cos\theta}

Given the conic equation: r=\frac{12}{3-10cos\theta}

We have to make it to be in the form r=\frac{ep}{1\pm e*cos\theta}:

r=\frac{12}{3-10cos\theta}\\\\multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ \frac{1}{3} \\\\r=\frac{12*\frac{1}{3}}{(3-10cos\theta)*\frac{1}{3}}\\\\r=\frac{12*\frac{1}{3}}{3*\frac{1}{3}-10cos\theta*\frac{1}{3}}\\\\r=\frac{4}{1-\frac{10}{3}cos\theta } \\\\r=\frac{\frac{10}{3}(\frac{6}{5} ) }{1-\frac{10}{3}cos\theta }

Comparing with  r=\frac{ep}{1\pm e*cos\theta}

e = 10/3 = 3.3333, p = 6/5

b) since the eccentricity = 3.33 > 1, it is a hyperbola

c) The equation of the directrix is x = ±p = ± 6/5

Emma was about to finish grocery shopping when she noticed that cans of soup were on sale. Her total bill for groceries would be
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

3rd option: B(C)= 1.79C +86.03

Step-by-step explanation:

Total bill

= cost of cans(number of cans) +cost of other groceries

Let the cost of other groceries be G, and the cost of cans be X.

Given that number of cans= C,

Total bill= XC +G

If 2 cans were purchased,

2X+G= 89.61 -----(1)

If 5 cans were purchased,

5X +G= 94.98 -----(2)

(2) -(1):

(5X +G) -(2X +G)= 94.98 -89.61

5X +G -2x -G= 5.37

3X= 5.37

X= 5.37 ÷3 <em>(</em><em>÷</em><em>3</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em>)</em>

X= 1.79

Subst. X= 1.79 into (1):

2(1.79) +G= 89.61

3.58 +G= 89.61

G= 89.61 -3.58 <em>(</em><em>-3.58</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em>)</em>

G= 86.03 <em>(</em><em>simplify</em><em>)</em>

Total bill

= XC +G

= 1.79C +86.03

Thus, the function is B(C)= 1.79C +86.03.

There are 200 students in eleventh grade high school class. There are 40 students in the soccer team and 50 students in the bask
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

P(A) = 0.2

P(B) = 0.25

P(A&B) = 0.05

P(A|B) = 0.2

P(A|B) = P(A) = 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

P(A) is the probability that the selected student plays soccer.

Then:

P(A)=\dfrac{40}{200}=0.2

P(B) is the probability that the selected student plays basketball.

Then:

P(B)=\dfrac{50}{200}=0.25

P(A and B) is the probability that the selected student plays soccer and basketball:

P(A\&B)=\dfrac{10}{200}=0.05

P(A|B) is the probability that the student plays soccer given that he plays basketball. In this case, as it is given that he plays basketball only 10 out of 50 plays soccer:

P(A|B)=\dfrac{P(A\&B)}{P(B)}=\dfrac{10}{50}=0.2

P(A | B) is equal to P(A), because the proportion of students that play soccer is equal between the total group of students and within the group that plays basketball. We could assume that the probability of a student playing soccer is independent of the event that he plays basketball.

A doctor observes a graph that shows the electrical activity (in volts) of the heart of a patient over a period of time (in seco
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

90 beats per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

By looking at the graph, we see that exactly at second 6, the 9th beat occurs. We can take that to beats/min by multiplying that relation by 10 (since there are ten 6sec in one minute).

9beats every 6sec * 10 = 90beats/min

Erica can paint her room 5 hours .If she had her friend Rachel help her , they can paint the room together in 3 hours .How long
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

7 hours 30min

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one :

Given data

We are told that Erica can paint 1 room in 5hours

Her work rate is 1/5 room per hour

And also with the assistance of her friend they can paint 1 room in 3 hours

Hence their combined work rate is 1/3 room per hour

Step two

The combined work expression is

1/A+1/B=1/T

Where A=Erica's work rate

B=Rachael's work rate

T=combined work

1/5+1/B=1/3

1/B=1/3-1/5

1/B=5-3/15

1/B=2/15

B=15/2

B=7.5 hours

It will take Rachel 7 hours 30min to paint the room
