A painter is painting a wall with an area of 150 ft2. He decides to paint half of the wall and then take a break. After his brea

k, he paints half of the remaining unpainted portion and then takes another break. If he continues to paint half of the remaining unpainted portion between breaks, approximately what portion of the original wall will be painted when he takes his fifth break?
a. 112.50 ft2
b. 145.31 ft2
c. 147.66 ft2
d. 290.63 ft2

First break= 1/2
second break = 1/2 of half= 1/4
third break = half of 1/4 = 1/8
forth break = 1/2 of 1/8 = 1/16
fifth break = 1/2 of 1/16 =1/32
fraction painted = 1 -1/32 =31/32
portion painted = 150*31/32 = 145.3125 ft^2

If an exponential model was used to fit the data set below, which of the following would be the best prediction for the output o
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

The equation is found to be: y = 50.6e^{0.16x}

y(20) = 1241.34

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data is:

x:   3          7         11        14          17

y: 83      142      301     450      722

Now, we find sum summation values, relevant to the formula of exponential regression model, using calculator:

∑ ln y = 27.77305, ∑x ln y = 308.1494, ∑x = 52, ∑ x² = 664

and, n = no. of data points = 5

Now, we use formulae of exponential regression model to find out values of constant:

b = (n∑x lny - ∑x ∑ln y)/[n∑x² - (∑x)²]

b = [(5)(308.1494) - (52)(27.77305)]/[(5)(664) - (52)²]

b = 0.16

Now, for a;

a = (∑ln y - b∑x)/n

Therefore,

a = [(27.77305) - (0.16)(52)]/5

a = 3.9

For, α:

α = e^a = e^3.9

α = 50.6

So, the final equation of exponential regression model is given as:

y = \alpha e^{bx}\\ y = 50.6e^{0.16x}

Now, we find value of y for x = 20:

y(20) = (50.6) e^(0.16*20)

<u>y(20) = 1241.34</u>

A water well is being drilled in the desert where soil is either rock, clay, or sand. Probability of rock P(R) = 0.42, probabili
andrezito [222]

We are asked to solve for:

P (sand | positive)

So, we solve this by:

P (sand | positive) = P (sand)  x P (positive for sand)

P (sand | positive) = 0.26 (0.75)

P (sand | positive) = 0.195

The probability is 0.195 or 19.5%.

What is the following product? (StartRoot 12 EndRoot + StartRoot 6 EndRoot) (StartRoot 6 EndRoot minus StartRoot 10 EndRoot)
Crank

Answer:

The product results in: 6\,\sqrt{2} -2\,\sqrt{30} +6-2\,\sqrt{15}, which agrees with answer A of the given choices.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to apply distributive property for the product of two expressions each consisting of two terms, and also use the properties of products of radicals of the same root:

(\sqrt{12} +\sqrt{6} )(\sqrt{6} -\sqrt{10} )=\\=\sqrt{12*6} -\sqrt{12*10} +\sqrt{6*6} -\sqrt{6*10} =\\=\sqrt{72} -\sqrt{120} +\sqrt{36} -\sqrt{60}

and now, we extract as many factors we can from the roots to reduce them:

\sqrt{72} -\sqrt{120} +\sqrt{36} -\sqrt{60} =\\=6\,\sqrt{2} -2\,\sqrt{30} +6-2\,\sqrt{15}
