Answer:

10 termites will destroy 0.000084kg of wood per week

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert milligram to kilogram

1.2mg=(1.2 / 1,000,000)kg

1.2mg=0.0000012kg

1 termite destroys=0.0000012kg per day

10 termites will destroy (per day) =0.0000012×10 termites per day

10 termites in one day will destroy=0.000012kg

There are 7 days in a week

Therefore,

10 termites will destroy=destruction per day × 7 days

=0.000012×7

=0.000084kg per week

25. To produce the graph of the function y=0.5cos(0.5x), what transformations should be applied to the graph of the parent funct
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

C. A horizontal stretch to produce a period of 2\pi and a vertical compression.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the parent function as y= \cot x

It is given that, transformations are applied to the parent function in order to obtain the function y=0.5\cot (0.5x) i.e. y=\frac{1}{2}\cot (\frac{x}{2})

That is, we see that,

The parent function y= \cot x is stretched horizontally by the factor of \frac{1}{2} which gives the function y=\cot (\frac{x}{2}).

Further, the function is compressed vertically by the factor of \frac{1}{2} which gives the function y=\frac{1}{2}\cot (\frac{x}{2}).

Now, we know,

If a function f(x) has period P, then the function cf(bx) will have period \frac{P}{|b|}.

Since, the period of y= \cot x is \pi, so the period of y=\frac{1}{2}\cot (\frac{x}{2}) is \frac{\pi}{1/2} = 2\pi

Hence, we get option C is correct.

The average age of doctors in a certain hospital is 45.0 years old. Suppose the distribution of ages is normal and has a standar
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: 0.7619

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Mean : \mu=45.0

Standard deviation : \sigma =8.0

Sample size : n=9

We assume that the variable is normally distributed.

The value of z-score is given by :-

z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

a) For x= 46.9 years

z=\dfrac{46.9-45.0}{\dfrac{8}{\sqrt{9}}}=0.7125

The p-value : P(z

Hence, the  probability that the average age of those doctors is less than 46.9 years =0.7619

Find the measure of each acute angle.
crimeas [40]

The 3 inside angles of a triangle need to equal 180 degrees.

This is a right triangle so the bottom left corner is 90 degrees.

This means the other two angles when added need to equal 180-90 = 90 degrees.

Now you have 8x + 7x = 90

Combine like terms:

15x = 90

Divide both sides by 15

X = 6

Now you have the value for x solve the two angles:

8x = 8(6) = 48

7x = 7(6) = 42

Top left = 48 degrees

Bottom right = 42 degrees

Just add them all:(FYI, I first converted all the mixed fraction to improper)
11/3+19/3= 30/3+9/2
Now take out the LCM,
60/6+27/6= 87/6
Hence, the total number of cups that peter makes is 87/6
