Lavania is studying the growth of a population of fruit flies in her laboratory. After 6 days she had nine more than five times

as many fruit flies as when she began the study. If she observes 20 fruit flies on the first day of the study, write and evaluate an expression to find the population of fruit flies Lavania observed after 6 days

Answer:

Lavania observed 39 fruit flies after 6 days of observation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of fruit flies on the first day of Lavania's study.

After 6 days she had nine more than five times as many fruit flies as when she began the study.

Five times as many fruit flies as when she began the study = 5x

Nine more than five times as many fruit flies as when she began the study=5x+9

The expression to find the population of fruit flies Lavania observed after 6 days is 5x+9

If she observes 20 fruit flies on the first day of the study, then x=6, then

5x+9=5\cdot 6+9=30+9=39

In the diagram of circle O, what is the measure of abc? 34° 45° 68° 73°
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

A. m\angle ABC=34^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a diagram. We are asked to find the measure of angle ABC.

First of all, we will find measure of major arc AC by subtracting 146 from 360 degrees.

\text{Measure of arc AC}=360^{\circ}-146^{\circ}

\text{Measure of arc AC}=214^{\circ}

Now, we will use tangent-tangent angle theorem to solve for ABC.

Tangent-Tangent angle theorem states that angle formed by two tangents outside a circle is half the difference of intercepted arcs.

m\angle ABC=\frac{214^{\circ}-146^{\circ}}{2}

m\angle ABC=\frac{68^{\circ}}{2}

m\angle ABC=34^{\circ}

Therefore, the measure of angle ABC is 34 degrees and option A is the correct choice.

Ellie completed an algebraic proof to show that V12 + V108 = 8 - 31.
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the correct answer to the question, do the following:

√12 + √108

= 12^½ + 108^½

= 4^½ • 3^½ + 36^½ • 3^½

Factorise

3^½ (4^½ + 36^½)

Recall:

4^½ = √4 = 2

36^½ = √36 = 6

Therefore,

3^½ (4^½ + 36^½) = 3^½ (2 + 6)

= 3^½ • 8

Ria can paint a room in 4 hours. Destiny can paint the same room in 6 hours. How long would it take Ria and Destiny to paint the
Lerok [7]

Time taken by Ria to paint a room = 4 hours

Time taken by Destiny to paint a room = 6 hours

If they work together, they complete 1 job. So,

\frac{1x}{4}+\frac{1x}{6}=1

The LCD of 4 and 6 is 12

\frac{3x+2x}{12}=1

\frac{5x}{12}=1

5x=12

x=\frac{12}{5}

Hence, both of them can paint the room in \frac{12}{5} hours or 2.4 hours.

Suppose that the weight of seedless watermelons is normally distributed with mean 6.1 kg. and standard deviation 1.9 kg. Let X b
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

a. X\sim N(\mu = 6.1, \sigma = 1.9) b. 6.1 c. 0.6842 d. 0.4166 e. 0.1194 f. 8.5349

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The distribution of X is normal with mean 6.1 kg. and standard deviation 1.9 kg. this because X is the weight of a randomly selected seedless watermelon and we know that the set of weights of seedless watermelons is normally distributed.

b. Because for the normal distribution the mean and the median are the same, we have that the median seedless watermelong weight is 6.1 kg.

c. The z-score for a seedless watermelon weighing 7.4 kg is (7.4-6.1)/1.9 = 0.6842

d. The z-score for 6.5 kg is (6.5-6.1)/1.9 = 0.2105, and the probability we are seeking is P(Z > 0.2105) = 0.4166

e. The z-score related to 6.4 kg is z_{1} = (6.4-6.1)/1.9 = 0.1579 and the z-score related to 7 kg is z_{2} = (7-6.1)/1.9 = 0.4737, we are seeking P(0.1579 < Z < 0.4737) = P(Z < 0.4737) - P(Z < 0.1579) = 0.6821 - 0.5627 = 0.1194

f. The 90th percentile for the standard normal distribution is 1.2815, therefore, the 90th percentile for the given distribution is 6.1 + (1.2815)(1.9) = 8.5349
