Lesson 1-1: The periodic comet named Johnson has been seen at every return since its discovery in 1949, as shown in the table be

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Occurrence Year seen Difference

1 1949 -

2 1956 1956 - 1949 = 7

3 1963 1963 - 1956 = 7

4 1970 1970 - 1963 = 7

Difference between each successive term of year seen = 7 years

Therefore, there is a common difference of 7 years between each successive term.

Function defining the year seen will be a linear function and will increase in the same pattern. (multiple of 7 years)

2017 - 1970 = 47 (It's not the multiple of 7)

2018 - 1970 = 48 (It's not the multiple of 7)

2019 - 1970 = 49 (multiple of 7)

2020 - 1970 = 50 (It's not the multiple of 7)

Therefore, comet will be seen next in 2019.

Option (C) will be the answer.

If a person is born in 2005

Then difference between 2005 and 1949 = 56 years

Number of times comet seen after 1949 = $\frac{56}{7}=8$ times

Total number of comet seen in the lifetime = 8 times

In a given course a student receives preliminary examination grades of 81, 85, and 95. The final examination is weighed for one-

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

B. 96

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent score of final third exam.

We have been given that in a given course a student receives preliminary examination grades of 81, 85, and 95.

Let us find average of preliminary scores.

$\frac{81+85+95}{3}=\frac{261}{3}=87$

We have been given that the final examination is weighed for one-third and the average of the preliminary grades is weighed as 2/3 of the final grade. This means that final grade is equally weighed into 3 parts. The two parts are 87 each and third part is x.

Using our given information, we can set an equation as:

$\frac{87+87+x}{3}=90$

$\frac{174+x}{3}=90$

$\frac{174+x}{3}*3=90*3$

$174+x=270$

$174-174+x=270-174$

$x=96$

Therefore, the final examination grade should be 96 for a semester average of 90.

Suppose 50 percent of the customers at Pizza Palooza order a square pizza, 70 percent order a soft drink, and 35 percent order b

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Ordering a soft drink is independent of ordering a square pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

20% more customers order a soft drink than pizza, therefore they cannot be intertwined.

Given: P(A)=0.5 & P(B)=.7

P(A∩B) = P(A) × P(B)

= 0.5 × .7

= 0.35

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

= 0.5 + .7 - 0.35

= 0.85

P(AΔB) = P(A) + P(B) - 2P(A∩B)

= 0.5 + .7 - 2×0.35

= 0.5

P(A') = 1 - P(A)

= 1 - 0.5

= 0.5

P(B') = 1 - P(B)

= 1 - .7

= 0.3

P((A∪B)') = 1 - P(A∪B)

= 1 - 0.85

= 0.15

If (a^3+27)=(a+3)(a^2+ma+9) then m equals

Ronch [10]

Answer:

m = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

a³ + 27 ← is a sum of cubes and factors in general as

a³ + b³ = (a + b)(a² - ab + b²), thus

a³ + 27

= a³ + 3³

= (a + 3)(a² - 3a + 9)

comparing a² - 3a + 9 to a² + ma + 9, then

m = - 3
