Answers

Answer 1

The possible values of N from the given probability parameters is; N equals 15 or 21

How to Solve Algebra Problems?

We are told that;

Number of pens in the box = N

Let the number of red pens be x

Thus; number of black pens = x + 3

Thus;

x + x + 3 = N

x = (N - 3)/2

The probability that she will take a black pen followed by a red pen is;

P(she will take a black pen followed by a red pen) = (x + 3)/N * x/(N - 1)

Plugging in he relevant values and solving for N gives ;

Solving for N gives N equals 15 or 21

What is the volume, in cubic centimeters, of a right square pyramid
with base edges that are 64 cm long and a slant height of 40 cm

Answers

The volume of the right squared pyramid with the given base edges and slant height is 32768 cubic centimeters.

What is the volume of right square pyramid?

The volume of a square pyramid is expressed as;

V = (1/3)a²h

Where a is the base length and h is the height of the pyramid

Given that;

Base edges of the square base a = 64cmSlant height s = 40cmHeight of the pyramid h = ?Volume = ?

First, we determine the height of the pyramid using Pythagorean theorem.

c² = a² + b²

c = s = 40cma = half of the base length = a/2 = 64cm/2 = 32cmb = h

(40cm) = (32cm)² + h²

1600cm² = 1024cm² + h²

h² = 1600cm² - 1024cm²

h² = 576cm²

h = √576cm²

h = 24cm

Now, we calculate the volume of the right square pyramid;

V = (1/3)a²h

V = (1/3) × (64cm)² × 24cm

V = (1/3) × 409664cm² × 24cm

V = 32768cm³

Therefore, the volume of the right squared pyramid with the given base edges and slant height is 32768 cubic centimeters.

Find the range.
3 -9 7 -1 5 -4 2

Answers

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

The range is the distance between the largest number and the smallest number. To find the range, you take the smallest number and subtract it from the largest number. In this case, the smallest number is -9 and the largest number is 7. 7 minus -9 is a double negative, so you can also do 7+9=16. 16 is the range.

The number of the years to take for the farmland's market value to reach $125,000 will be 19 years.

What is an exponent?

Let a is the base and x is the power of the exponent function and b is the y-intercept. The exponent is given as

y = aˣ

A patch of farmland is currently worth $78,125. The expected increase in its market value can be modeled by the function below.

[tex]\rm p(t) = 78,125\ e^{0.025t}[/tex]

Then the number of the years to take for the farmland's market value to reach $125,000 will be

[tex]\rm 78,125 \ e^{0.025t} = 125,000\\\\e^{0.025t} = 1.6[/tex]

Then take log on both sides, then we have

Based on the calculations, the solutions of this system of linear inequalities are equal to:

What is an inequality?

An inequality simply refers to a mathematical relation that's used to compare two (2) or more integers (variables) in an equation based on any of the following:

Greater than (>).Less than (<).Greater than or equal to (≥).Less than or equal to (≤).

In order to determine the solutions of this system of linear inequalities, we would find the slope of each line.

For line A, we have:

Slope, m = (11 - 3)/(4 - 0) = 8/4

Slope, m = 2.

Mathematically, the standard equation of a line is given by y = mx + b.

y = 2x + 3

y ≤ 2x + 3.

For line B, the slope is equal to 4. Also, the y-intercept from the graph is equal to 5.

Therefore, the standard equation of a line is given by:

y = 4x + 5

y < 4x + 5

What is Exponential equation?

In mathematics, an exponential function is a function of form f (x) = aˣ, where “x” is a variable and “a” is a constant which is called the base of the function and it should be greater than 0.

Here, given equation; (we are using n in place of t)

          -5.e¹⁰ⁿ = -30

      On dividing -5 both sides, we get

           -5.e¹⁰ⁿ/-5 = -30/-5

                e¹⁰ⁿ  = 6

 Taking 'ln' on both side, we get

             10n = ln 6

              n = (ln 6)/10

              n = 1.791759/10

Which type of data would be best displayed in a dot plot?

A dot plot is a plot where in the horizontal axis different numbers or properties (discrete set, usually we want smaller ranges, just so the graph are easier to read.) are marked, and above these, we mark dots, that represents how many times these are repeated on the data set.

We don't want large ranges (like in the first option 725 to 2450) because it means that we need to mark 725 points, or we need to find a common factor so each point represents more than one unit.

So, we need to have discrete data and with ranges not to large. The only option that meets both conditions is the third one, where on the horizontal axis we would have each of the 15 school dental clinics, and the dots would represent the number of dentist volunteering on each of them.
