Answer=6

Given the information, the following equation can be made, where x is equal to the number of cases she needs to buy.

160=16+24x
subtract 16 from both sides
144=24x
divide both sides by 24
6=x

She will have to buy 6 cases to have a total of 160 water bottles.

160-16 gives you 144 , so i divided 144 by 24 and got 6, she had 16 bottles left over so 144+16 = 160. she will need to buy 6 cases of water

Which of the following includes a coefficient?

Mumz [18]

A 3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+2 is a polynomial.

If the variable in a term of polynomial is multiplied by a number, then this number is called the "coefficient"

It contains a first degree term as highest degree term and one constant term.

coefficient=3

constant=2

variable=x(first degree term)

The energy expended by a bird per day, E, depends on the time spent foraging for food per day, F hours. Foraging for a shorter t

Veronika [31]

Answer:

Therefore F=2.387 hours gives a minimum value of energy expenditure E.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The energy expended by a bird per day

$E=0.25 F+\frac{1.7}{F^2}$

Differentiating with respect to F

$E'=0.25 -\frac{3.4}{F^3}$

Again differentiating with respect to F

$E''=\frac{10.2}{F^4}$

Now set E'=0

$0.25 -\frac{3.4}{F^3}=0$

$\Rightarrow \frac{3.4}{F^3}=0.25$

$\Rightarrow F^3=\frac{3.4}{0.25}$

$\Rightarrow F=2.387$

Now $E''|_{F=2.387}=\frac{10.2}{2.387^4}>0$

Since, E''>0 at F=2.387, So at F=2.387 , E has minimum value.

Therefore F=2.387 hours that minimizes energy expenditure.

Mr. James has cylindrical beakers that measure 4 inches in diameter and are 9 inches high. What is the volume contained within t

kirill115 [55]

The equation to find the volume of a cylinder is V = pi•r^2•h.
The radius is half of the diameter. Since Mr. James' beakers have a diameter of 4, their radius would be 2. 2 squared is 4.
Their height is 9 inches.
V = 3.14•4•9
V = 3.14•36
V = 113.04
The answer is C, or 113.04 cubic inches.

Suppose you roll a pair of honest dice. If you roll a total of 7 you win $22, if you roll a total of 11 you win $66, if you roll

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The expected payoff for this game is -$1.22.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a pair of honest dice is rolled.

Possible outcomes for a dice = 1,2,3,4,5,6

Two dices are rolled then the total number of outcomes = 6 × 6 = 36.

$\{(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6),\\(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6),\\(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6),(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)\}$

The possible ways of getting a total of 7,

{ (1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), (6,1) }

Number of favorable outcomes = 7

Formula for probability:

$Probability=\frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}$

So, the possibility of getting a total of 7 = $\frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6}$

The possible ways of getting a total of 11,

{(5,6), (6,5)}

So, the probability of getting a total of 11 = $\frac{2}{36}$ = $\frac{1}{18}$

Now, other possible rolls = 36 - 6 - 2 = 36 - 8 = 28,

So, the probability of getting the sum of numbers other than 7 or 11 = $\frac{28}{36}$ = $\frac{7}{9}$

Since, for the sum of 7, $ 22 will earn, for the sum of 11, $ 66 will earn while for any other total loss is $11,

Hence, the expected value for this game is

$\frac{1}{6}\times 22+\frac{1}{18}\times 66-\frac{7}{9}\times 11$

$\frac{11}{3}+\frac{11}{3}-\frac{77}{9}$

$\frac{22}{3}-\frac{77}{9}$

$\frac{66-77}{9}$

$-\frac{11}{9}$

$-1.22$

Therefore the expected payoff for this game is -$1.22.
