Step-by-step explanation:

x − 0.66x = 13

0.34x = 13

x = 13 / 0.34

x ≈ 38.2

How do you simplify i²⁹? (If you can't tell, that's the imaginary number i^29).
maria [59]
The imaginary number ' i ' is the square root of -1.

i = √-1
i² = -1
i³ = -√-1
i to the 4th power = +1
i to the 5th power = √-1
etc.

and all the higher powers keep going in the same 4-step cycle.

What's 29 divided by 4 ?
It's 7 with a remainder of 1.

So 29 with all the 4s thrown away is 1, and ' i ' to the 29th power is
the same thing as ' i ' to the 1st power = √-1  or just  plain ' i '.

Algebra. Find the variable in the equation 803 divided by 73=m
weeeeeb [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

The value of variable "m" in the equation 803 divided by 73 = m is equal to 11.

<u>Solution:</u>

Need to find the variable in the given equation 803 divided by 73 = m

That means need to solve below expression to determine value of variable m.

\frac{803}{73}=m

So let’s solve left hand side to get the value of  m.

For sake of simplicity let’s do factorization of numerator and denominator and remove the common terms in numerator and denominator.

\begin{array}{l}{803=73 \times 11} \\\\ {73=73 \times 1} \\\\ {=>\frac{803}{73}=\frac{73 \times 11}{73 \times 1}=11}\end{array}

Hence value of variable m is equal to 11.

The perimeter of a pool is 150 m. the rectangle at the right is a scale drawing of the pool. The length of each square on the gr
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given rectangle,

Length of the rectangle = 5 cm

Width of the rectangle = 10 cm

Ratio of length : width = 1 : 2

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(l + b)= 150 cm

l + b = 75 -----(1)

Since, l : b = 1 : 2

\frac{l}{b}= \frac{1}{2}

b = 2l ------(2)

From equations (1) and (2),

l + 2l = 75

3l = 75

l = 25 m

Width 'b' = 2(25) = 50 m

Now we have to draw a rectangle with a scale = 25 : 2

Therefore, Scale factor = \frac{25}{l}=\frac{25}{2}

l = 2 cm

Similarly,

\frac{50}{w}=\frac{25}{2}

w = 4 cm

Now we can draw a rectangle with length = 2 cm and width = 4 cm.

Jillian is selling boxes of cookies to raise money for her basketball team. The 10 oz. box costs $3.50, while the 16 oz. box cos
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Jillian sold 15 ten-oz bags and 9 sixteen-oz bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent number of 10-oz bags and y represent number of 16-oz bags.

We have been given that Jillian sold 24 boxes of cookies in total. We can represent this information in an equation as:

x+y=24...(1)

We are also told that 10 oz. box costs $3.50, while the 16 oz. box costs $5.00, so the cost of x 10-oz bags would be 3.50x and cost of y 16-oz bags would be 5y.

At the end of one week, she collected $97.50. We can represent this information in an equation as:

3.5x+5y=97.50...(2)

Now, we will use substitution method to solve our system of equations. From equation (1), we will get:

y=24-x

Substitute this value in equation (2):

3.5x+5(24-x)=97.50

3.5x+120-5x=97.50

-1.5x+120=97.50

-1.5x+120-120=97.50-120

-1.5x=-22.5

\frac{-1.5x}{-1.5}=\frac{-22.5}{-1.5}

x=15

Therefore, the number of 10-oz boxes sold be Jillian is 15.

Now, we will substitute x=15 in equation (1) to solve for y.

15+y=24

15-15+y=24-15

y=9

Therefore, the number of 16-oz boxes sold be Jillian is 9.

Jane is taking two courses. The probablity she passes the first course is 0,7. The probablity she passes the second course is 0.
makkiz [27]

Answer:

a. 0.6

b. not independent

c. 0.1

d. 0.4

e. 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

P(passing first course)=P(C1)=0.7

P(passing second course)=P(C2)=0.8

P(passing at least one course)=P(C1∪C2)=0.9

P( passes both courses)=P(C1∩C2)=?

We know that

P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A∩B)

P(A∩B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A∪B)

So,

P( passes both courses)=P(C1∩C2)=P(C1)+P(C2)-P(C1∪C2)

P( passes both courses)=P(C1∩C2)=0.7+0.8-0.9

P( passes both courses)=P(C1∩C2)=0.6

Thus, the probability she passes both courses is 0.6.

b.

The event of passing one course is independent of passing another course if

P(C1∩C2)=P(C1)*P(C2)

P(C1)*P(C2)=0.7*0.8=0.56

P(C1∩C2)=0.6

As,

0.6≠0.56

P(C1∩C2)≠P(C1)*P(C2),

So, the event of passing one course is dependent of passing another course.

c.

P(not passing either course)=P(C1∪C2)'=1-P(C1∪C2)

P(not passing either course)=P(C1∪C2)'=1-0.9

P(not passing either course)=P(C1∪C2)'=0.1

Thus, the probability of not passing either course is 0.1.

d.

P(not passing both courses)=P(C1∩C2)'=1-P(C1∩C2)

P(not passing both courses)=P(C1∩C2)'=1-0.6

P(not passing both courses)=P(C1∩C2)'=0.4

Thus, the probability of not passing both courses is 0.4.

e.

P(passing exactly one course)=?

P(passing exactly course 1)=P(C1)-P(C1∩C2)=0.7-0.6=0.1

P(passing exactly course 2)=P(C2)-P(C1∩C2)=0.8-0.6=0.2

P(passing exactly one course)=P(passing exactly course 1)+P(passing exactly course 2)

P(passing exactly one course)=0.1+0.2

P(passing exactly one course)=0.3

Thus, the probability of passing exactly one course is 0.3.
