Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\mathrm{C.\:}25[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice how each congruent square is divided into four equal parts. Since each square has four parts and there are four squares, there are [tex]16[/tex] of these parts in total. Because each of these parts make up [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of each square, all parts are equal. Therefore, you can count the total number of shaded parts to get your percentage.

The top left and bottom right both have one part shaded each for a total of [tex]2[/tex] parts.

The top right and bottom left have [tex]0.5[/tex] and [tex]1.5[/tex] parts shaded, respectively, for a total of [tex]2[/tex] parts.

Therefore, in total, there are [tex]2+2=4[/tex] parts shaded out of [tex]16[/tex] total parts.

Thus, the percentage of the total area that is shaded is:

[tex]\frac{4}{16}=\frac{1}{4}=\fbox{$25\%$}[/tex].

A Petri dish is growing bacteria. It starts with 3 cells on day 1, 9 cells on day 2, and continues tripling the number of cells every day after that. How many cells of bacteria are there on day 5? 3 5 5 3 15 18

Answers

Answer:

243

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Day 1 = 3

Day 2 = 9

After the 2nd day, number of cells continue to triple ;

Day 3 = 9^3

P(t) = 9 * 3^3

P(t) = 9 * 27

= 243

Solve for x. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

93.99

Step-by-step explanation:

sin rule is:

sin A ÷ a = sin B ÷ b = sin C ÷ c

A B C are angles

a b c are the lengths opposite to each angle

to find angle opposite to x:

180- (90+57) = 33°

180: sum of angles in a traingle

90: since its a right angle traingle

to find x:

sin 57 ÷ 41 = sin 33 ÷ x

rearrange:

x= (sin 33 x 41) ÷ sin 57

x= 93.99 (2 d.p/2 decimal places)

Your kite is stuck in a tree that is 40 feet tall. The angle your string makes with the ground is 72°. Rather than worrying about the kite, you decide to calculate how much string you have let out. Assuming the string is held tight and makes a straight line to the ground, how much string have you let out?

Answers

Answer:

42 feet of string

Step-by-step explanation:

First, draw a diagram of the string, the height and the angle.

the length of the string is equal to the hypotenuse of the triangle

let length of the string=x

sin(θ)=opp/hyp

sin(72°)=40ft/x

x=40ft/sin(72°)

x=42.05848897ft≈42ft

X^2 + 4x - 7x = 0
GIVE YOUR ANSWER TO THE CORRECT 2 DECIMAL PLACES

Answers

Answer:

x ≈ - 5.32, x ≈ 1.32

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 4x - 7 = 0 ( add 7 to both sides )

x² + 4x = 7

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(2)x + 4 = 7 + 4

(x + 2)² = 11 ( take the square root of both sides )

x + 2 = ± [tex]\sqrt{11}[/tex] ( subtract 2 from both sides )

x = - 2 ± [tex]\sqrt{11}[/tex]

Thus

x = - 2 - [tex]\sqrt{11}[/tex] ≈ - 5.32 ( to 2 dec. places )

x = - 2 + [tex]\sqrt{11}[/tex] ≈ 1.32 ( to 2 dec. places )

Answer:

x = -5.32, x = 1.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok. So to use the Complete the Square method, you divide the middle value by 2 and then square the number you get. This will give:

[tex](x^{2} + 4x + (\frac{4}{2}) ^2) - (\frac{4}{2}) ^2 -7 = 0[/tex]

[tex](x^{2} + 4x + 4) - 4 -7 = 0[/tex]

[tex](x^{2} + 4x + 4) - 11 = 0[/tex]

[tex](x^{2} + 4x + 4) = 11[/tex]      (now factor the left side)

[tex](x + 2)(x + 2) = 11[/tex]

[tex](x + 2)^{2} = 11[/tex]       (now square root both sides)

[tex]\sqrt{(x + 2)^{2}} = \sqrt{11}[/tex]

[tex]x + 2 = \sqrt{11}[/tex]

[tex]x = - 2 +/- \sqrt{11}[/tex]         (+/- = plus or minus)

x = -5.32, x = 1.32

Evaluating the piecewise function when X =3, we get f(3) = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following piecewise function

f(x)= { 2x+1; where x > 0

         -3 when x ≤ 0

Evaluate the function when X = 3

We will evaluate f(x) =2x+1 where x > 0, because x = 3 and 3 <0

We can't use -3, because x ≤ 0, and 3 is not less than 0.

Now, evaluating the function:

[tex]f(x)=2x+1\\Put\:x=3\\f(3)=2(3)+1\\f(3)=6+1\\f(3)=7[/tex]

So, Evaluating the piecewise function when X =3, we get f(3) = 7

Scientists are drilling a hole in the ocean floor to learn more about the Earth's history Currently, the hole is in
the shape of a cylinder whose volume is approximately 4200 cubic feet and whose height is 4.3 miles. Find
the radius of the hole to the nearest hundredth of a foot. (Hint: Make sure the same units of measurement are
used.)
The radius of the hole is
feet. (Round to the nearest hundredth.)

Answers

Answer:

The radius of the hole is 0.24 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to convert the miles to feet

Mathematically;

1 mile = 5,280 feet

4.3 miles is thus;

4.3 * 5,280 = 22,704 feet

Mathematically, the volume of a cylinder is;

V = pi * r^2 * h

here, we want to get r

4200 = 3.142 * r^2 * 22,704

r^2 = 4200/(3.142 * 22,704)

r = 0.24 feet

Summer (starting from rest) runs from the 20 m mark to the 35 m mark with an acceleration of .5 m/s2. What is her final velocity?​

Answers

the answer to your question is .5 x 25 over 20

If Summer (starting from rest) runs from the 20 m mark to the 35 m mark with an acceleration of 5 m/s². then 12.25 m/s is the final velocity.

What is Velocity?

Velocity is the distance covered by an object in unit time.

Given that,

Summer (starting from rest) runs from the 20 m mark to the 35 m mark with an acceleration of 5 m/s²

a=0.5 m/s²

s is distance=35-20=15

We have a formula with velocity, acceleration and distance

Now v²=2as

Here v is velocity=2

a is acceleration=5

s is the distance.=15

v²=2×5×15

The multiplication value of 2×5×15 is 150.

v²=150

Take square root on both sides

v=√150

v=12.25 m/s

Therefore final velocity is 12.25m/s.

The four walls and the ceiling of a cubical room need to be painted. If the height of the room is 4 m , and painting costs ₹ 20/m2 20 / m 2 , what is the total cost of painting the room?

Answers

Answer:

₹ 1920

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the room is cubical in nature, we will find the total surface area of the room

Total surface area of the cubical room = 6L²

L is the length of one side of the room

Given

L = 4m

Total surface area of the cubical room = 6(4)²

Total surface area of the cubical room = 6×16

Total surface area of the cubical room = 96m²

If the painting costs ₹ 20/m², this means;

₹ 20 = 1m²

For the total room:

x = 96m²

Divide both expressions

20/x = 1/96

x = 20×96

x = 1920

Hence the total cost of painting the room ₹ 1920

What are all the variables of x y and z ?

Answers

Answer:

z°=151°

Step-by-step explanation:

55°+29°+×°=180°

×°=96°

96°+55°=z°

z°=151

then let variable A° be one of the inner angle of the triangle

A°+z°=180°

A°+151°=180°

A°=29°

finally adding all the inner angles will give us 180°

96°+y°-13°+29=180°

y°=88°
