Sammy's Chipmunk & Squirrel Observations
For a science project, Sammy observed a chipmunk and a squirrel stashing
acorns in holes. The chipmunk hid 3 acorns in each of the holes it dug. The
squirrel hid 4 acorns in each of the holes it dug. They each hid the same number
of acorns, although the squirrel needed 4 fewer holes. How many acorns did the
chipmunk hide?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:12 accorns

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

If they each hid the same number of acorns, although the squirrel needed 4 fewer holes, the chipmunk hid 3 acorns in each hole

Let's assume the number of holes the chipmunk dug is 'c', and the number of acorns it hid in each hole is 'x'. Similarly, let's assume the number of holes the squirrel dug is 's', and the number of acorns it hid in each hole is 'y'.

According to the information provided, the chipmunk hid 3 acorns in each of the holes it dug, so x = 3. The squirrel hid 4 acorns in each of the holes it dug, so y = 4.

Both the chipmunk and squirrel hid the same number of acorns, so cx = sy.

Also, the squirrel needed 4 fewer holes, so s = c - 4.

Now, we can use the information to set up a system of equations:

cx = sy

c - 4 = s

Substitute the value of s from the second equation into the first equation:

c(c - 4) = 3(c - 4)

Expand the equation:

c² - 4c = 3c - 12

Now, bring all terms to one side of the equation:

c² - 4c - 3c + 12 = 0

Combine like terms:

c² - 7c + 12 = 0

Now, factor the quadratic equation:

(c - 3)(c - 4) = 0

Now, set each factor to zero and solve for 'c':

c - 3 = 0 => c = 3

c - 4 = 0 => c = 4

Since the chipmunk hid 3 acorns in each hole, the correct answer is The chipmunk hid 3 acorns.

The function g(x) undergoes a vertical stretch of 2, a horizontal shift to the right 3 units, and a vertical shift up 1 to become f(x). Which equation describes f(x).


F(x) = 2|x + 3|- 1

F(x) = 2|x - 3| + 1

F(x) = 2|x - 3| + 1

F(x) = 2|x- 3| - 1

Answers

Answer:

NONE OF THE OPTIONS GIVEN

Step-by-step explanation:

F(x) = 2|x - 3| + 1 is close, but vertical bars in stead of parentheses completely changes the curve shape

I believe it should be f(x) = 2(x - 3) + 1

if g(x) = x

here are some plots to compare the possibilities. I've shifted the vertical of each to separate the blue and green lines slightly. If they were both true "1" values the lines would be colinear for x>3.

The red line has a slope of 1, stretching by a factor of 3 means the slope is now 3. The absolute value signs from the answer options makes f(x) have a sharp V shape whereas the parentheses creates a single line for all values of x as does g(x) = x.

The position of a 2 kg object is given as x(t) = Bt2 +5, where x is in meters and t is in seconds. (a) Determine the force F responsible for this motion. (3) (b) If the force only results in a change in the kinetic energy of the object of 200 J between tı = 0 s and t2 = 5 s, determine the value of B. (3) (C) Without using kinematics (equations of motion), determine the displacement of the object during these 5 seconds referred to in part (b). (2)​

Answers

(a) Given the position function

x(t) = (B m/s²) t² + 5 m

it's clear that the object accelerates at B m/s² (differentiate x(t) twice with respect to t), so that the force exerted on the object is

F(t) = (2 kg) (B m/s²) = 2B N

(b) Recall the work-energy theorem: the total work performed on an object is equal to the change in the object's kinetic energy. The object is displaced by

∆x = x(5 s) - x(0 s)

∆x = ((B m/s²) (5 s)² + 5 m) - ((B m/s²) (0 s)² + 5 m)

∆x = 25B m

Then the work W performed by F (provided there are no other forces acting in the direction of the object's motion) is

W = (2B N) (25B m) = 50B² J = 200 J

Solve for B :

50B² = 200

B² = 4

B = ± √4 = ± 2

Since the change in kinetic energy and hence work performed by F is positive, the sign of B must also be positive, so B = 2 and the object accelerates at 2 m/s².

(c) We found in part (b) that the object is displaced 25B m, and with B = 2 that comes out to ∆x = 50 m.

Which of the following is not considered a buying incentive?
a coupon
b. display
C. prize
d. rebate
Please select the best answer from the choices provided
A
B
C
D

Answers

Answer: B) Display

=============================================

Explanation:

A buying incentive is anything that encourages any potential customers to become actual customers. Ideally, those people are repeat customers down the road as well (even if such buying incentives are no longer in place).

If someone sees a coupon or a rebate, then they'll be more likely to buy the item since the price is lower. A coupon is an immediate discount right on the spot, whereas a rebate is when you get a discount later on. A rebate means you have to mail in proof of purchase, and the company will send money back. These are two ways to apply a discount.

A third way to entice customers is to offer prizes. An example of this is a "buy one get one" sale (often abbreviated as BOGO). The company may lose money doing this, but they do so in the hopes of gaining new customers. Plus word of mouth tends to spread more often when such sales occur.

With everything discussed so far, this allows us to rule out choices A, C and D. They are all some kind of way to encourage potential buyers. Choice B is the answer because a display simply shows the price and any other relevant info to the product. Displays are neutral in the sense that they don't encourage a purchase and rather just convey information. When I mention this, I'm not talking about displays that advertise discounts or coupons.

The area of a trapezoid is 140 cm2 and the height is 20 cm. What is the sum of the bases?

A. 14 cm

B. 49 cm

C. 60 cm

D. 7 cm

Answers

Answer:

the answer is 14

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]1 \div 2b \times h = 1 \div 2 \times 20 \times b = 140 \: so \: base \: = 14[/tex]

hope this helped

The sum of the bases of a trapezoid using height is 20 cm is 14 cm.

Thus, option (A) is correct.

The formula to calculate the area of a trapezoid is given by:

Area = 1/2 x height x sum of bases

Given that the area is 140 cm² and the height is 20 cm.

Now, rearrange the formula to solve for the sum of the bases:

Sum of bases =  (2 x Area) / (height)

Substitute the given values:

Sum of bases =  (2 x 140) / (20)

                       = 14

So, the sum of the bases is 14 cm.

Thus, option (A) is correct.

Answers

The system or equations can be used to find b, the number of black-and-white copies,

and c, the number of color copies that the customer paid for at the print shop is

b + c = 68

b + c = 680.08b + 0.15c = 6

Given:

Total amount paid = $6.00

Total copies = 68

cost of black-and-white copy = $0.08

cost of color copy = $0.15

let

number of black-and-white copies = b

number of color copies = c

The equation:

b + c = 68

b + c = 680.08b + 0.15c = 6

Therefore, the system or equations can be used to find b, the number of black-and-white copies,

and c, the number of color copies that the customer paid for at the print shop is

b + c = 68

b + c = 680.08b + 0.15c = 6

Reasons:

The given sequence is presented as follows;

A = 1011 + 337 + 337/2 + 1011/10 + 337/5 + ... + 1/2021

Therefore;

[tex]\displaystyle A = \mathbf{1011 + \frac{1011}{3} + \frac{1011}{6} + \frac{1011}{10} + \frac{1011}{15} + ...+\frac{1}{2021}}[/tex]

The n + 1 th term of the sequence, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, ..., 2021 is given as follows;

[tex]\displaystyle a_{n+1} = \mathbf{\frac{n^2 + 3 \cdot n + 2}{2}}[/tex]

Therefore, for the last term we have;

[tex]\displaystyle 2043231= \frac{n^2 + 3 \cdot n + 2}{2}[/tex]

2 × 2043231 = n² + 3·n + 2

Which gives;

n² + 3·n + 2 - 2 × 2043231 = n² + 3·n - 4086460 = 0

Which gives, the number of terms, n = 2020

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{A}{2} = \mathbf{ 1011 \cdot \left(\frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{12}+...+\frac{1}{4086460} \right)}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{A}{2} = 1011 \cdot \left(1 - \frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3}- \frac{1}{4} +...+\frac{1}{2021}-\frac{1}{2022} \right)[/tex]

Which gives;
