Winnie measured the length of her father's ranch four times and got four different distances. her measurements are shown in the

table.
A. To estimate the actual length, winnie first approximated each distance to the nearest hundredth.Then she averaged the four numbers.
Using a calculator, find winnie's estimate.
.
Distance across father's ranch (km)
Square root of 60, 58/8, 7.3, 7 3/5
.
B. Winnie's father estimated the distance across his ranch to be the square root of 56 km. How does this distance compare to Winnie's estimate?

(a) winnie first approximated each distance to the nearest hundredth.

\sqrt{60} =7.75

\frac{58}{8} = 7.25

7.3 = 7.33

7\frac{3}{5} = 7.60

Now we find the average of 4 numbers

\frac{7.75+7.25+7.33+7.60}{4}= \frac{29.93}{4} = 7.4825

Winnie's estimate = 7.4825

B) Winnie's father estimated the distance across his ranch to be the square root of 56 km

\sqrt{56} = 7.48331

Winne's father estimate - Winne's estimate = 7.48331 - 7.48225= 0.00106

Winne's father estimate is 0.00106 more than winne's estimate

Find the missing term. () + (7 − 3i) + (5 + 9i) + 13i = 10 − 5i.
kotegsom [21]
X + (7 - 3i) + (5 + 9i) + 13i = 10 - 5i

Subtract 13i from both sides

x + (7 -3i) + (5 + 9i) = 10 - 18i

Subtract (5 + 9i). MAKE SURE YOU SUBTRACT 9i TOO. In other words, distribute the negative and subtract 5 and 9i at the same time.

x + (7 - 3i) = 5 - 27i

Do the same with (7 - 3i). You'll be adding 3i since -(-3i) = 3i.

x = -2 - 24i

Howard has a scale model of the Statue of Liberty. The model is 15 inches tall. The scale of the model to the actual statue is 1
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Required equation \frac{1}{6.2}=\frac{15}{x}

The height of statue of liberty is 93 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Howard has a scale model of the Statue of Liberty. The model is 15 inches tall. The scale of the model to the actual statue is 1 inch : 6.2 meters.

To find : Which equation can Howard use to determine x, the height in meters, of the Statue of Liberty?

Solution :

The model is 15 inches tall.

The scale of the model to the actual statue is 1 inch : 6.2 meters.

Let  x be the height in meters of the Statue of Liberty.

According to question, required equation is

\frac{1}{6.2}=\frac{15}{x}

Cross multiply,

x=15\times 6.2

x=93

Therefore, the height of statue of liberty is 93 meters.

Suppose that water is pouring into a swimming pool in the shape of a right circular cylinder at a constant rate of 8 cubic feet
adell [148]

Answer:

dh/dt = 0,07 ft/min

Step-by-step explanation:

The swimming pool has the shape of right circular cylinder, therefore its volume is

V(c) = π*x²*h

Where x is the radius of the base and h the height

We take differentiation on both sides of the equation to get:

dV/dt  =  π*x²*dh/dt

The rate of change in height of water in the pool, is independent of the height of the water, since the pool is a right crcular cylinder, and dV/dt is constant at 8 ft³/min.

Then:

8  = π*x²*dh/dt

dh/dt = 8 /  π*x²

dh/dt = 8/113,04

dh/dt = 0,07 ft/min

A farmer estimates that he has 9,000 bees producing honey on his farm. The farmer becomes concerned when he realizes the populat
vivado [14]
Analysis to obtain the function that models the polulaiton ob bees:

1) First year 9,000 bees

2) Second year: decrease 5% => 9,000 - 0.05* 9,000 = 9,000 * (1 - 0.05) = 9,000 * 0.95

3) Every year the population decreases 5% => 9,000 * 0.95)^ (number of years)

4) if you call x the number of years, and f(x) the function that represents the number of bees, then: f(x) = 9,000 (0.95)^ x.

Analysis of the statements:

<span>1) The function f(x) = 9,000(1.05)x represents the situation.

FALSE: WE DETERMINED IT IS f(x) = 9,000 (0.95)^x

2) The function f(x) = 9,000(0.95)x represents the situation.

TRUE: THAT IS WHAT WE OBTAINED AS CONCLUSION OF THE PREVIOUS ANALYSIS.

3) After 2 years, the farmer can estimate that there will be about 8,120 bees remaining.

Do the math:

f(2) = 9,000 * (0.95)^2 = 9,000 * 0,9025 = 8,122

So, the statement is TRUE

4) After 4 years, the farmer can estimate that there will be about 1,800 bees remaining.

f(4) = 9,000 * (0.95)^4 = 9,000 * 0.81450625 = 7,330

So, the statement is FALSE

5) The domain values, in the context of the situation, are limited to whole numbers.

FALSE: THE DOMAIN VALUES ARE ALL NON NEGATIVE REAL VALUES. FOR EXAMPLE THE FUNCTION IS WELL DEFINED FOR X = 5 AND HALF

6) The range values, in the context of the situation, are limited to whole numbers.

TRUE: THERE CANNOT BE FRACTIONS OF BEES
