Answer: She has 68 25-cents stamps and 28 2-cents stamps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of 25 cents stamps and y be the number of 2 cents stamps.

Then According to the question , we have

$x+y=88.............(1)\\\\25x+2y=1556...................(2)$

From (1), we have

$y=88-x ...........(3)$

Put value of y in (2), we get

$25x+2(88-x)=1556\\\\\Rightarrow\ 25x+176-2x=1556\\\\\Rightarrow\ 23x=1556-176\\\\\Rightarrow\ 23x= 1380\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{1380}{23}=60$

From (3), we have

$y=88-60=28$

Hence, she has 60 25 cent stamps and 28 2 cents stamps.

Let L be the line with parametric equations x=2+t, y=1-t, z=1+3t.Let v=(1,2,0).Find vectors w1 and w2 such that v= w1 + w2, and

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

w1 = (-1/11, 1/11, -3/11)

w2 = (12/11, 21/11, 3/11)

Step-by-step explanation:

Direction ratio of w1 = Direction ratio of L (because parallel) = K+(1, -1, 3)

Let <a,b,c> be direction ratio of w2.

Then, <a,b,c>. <1,-1,3> = 0

a-b+3c = 0

v = w1 + w2

(1, 2, 0) = k(1, -1, 3) + (a, b, c)

a + k = 1

b - K = 2

c - 3k = 0

Solving 4 equations, a = 12/11, b= 21/11, c = 3/11, k=-1/11

So, w1 = -1/11(1, -1 ,3) = (-1/11, 1/11, -3/11)

w2 = (12/11, 21/11, 3/11)

The service time distribution describes the probability P that the service time of the customer will be no more than T hours. If

Molodets [167]

Answer: option d.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the following formul given in the problem:

$p=1-e^{-mt}$

You know that:

The number of customers serviced in an hour by the technical support representative is 6 costumbers, therefore:

$m=6$

As the problem asked for the probability that a costumber will be on hold less than 30 minutes, we know that:

$t=0.5$

Substitute the values above into the formula.

Then, you obtain:

$p=1-e^{-(6)(0.5)}=0.95$ or 95%

The number of acres in a region cleared for farming follows the formula a = f (t) = 2t2 where t is the number of months since th

Anit [1.1K]

we are given

$a=f(t)=2t^2$

we can use average rate of change formula from t=a to t=b

$A=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$

Here, we are given from t=1 to t=4

so, we will get formula as

$A=\frac{f(4)-f(1)}{4-1}$

now, we can plug values

$A=\frac{2(4)^2-2(1)^2}{4-1}$

now, we can simplify it

$A=10$

the average rate of change in the number of acres cleared for farming between t = 1 and t = 4 is 10 acres/ month.............Answer

Zach read a book for 10 minutes every weekend in the first month, 20 minutes in the second month, 40 minutes in the third month,

den301095 [7]

Zach time of reading every weekend forms a sequence with these terms: 10, 20, 40, 80. On the other hand, that of Victoria forms a sequence with terms: 35, 50, 65, 80. By keenly observing the sequences, Zach's sequence is a geometric sequence with a common ratio equal to 2 and Victoria's sequence is an arithmetic or linear sequence with a common difference of 15. Thus, the answer is letter B.
