years old
Q

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A family has 3 children

Suppose the age of  middle child is [tex]x[/tex]

According to the question, Age of oldest child is [tex]=x+4[/tex]

Eldest child age [tex]=x-2[/tex]

Sum of the ages of children is [tex]26[/tex]

[tex]x+4+x+x-2=26[/tex]

[tex]3x+2=26[/tex]

[tex]3x=24[/tex]

[tex]x=8[/tex]

Therefore age of youngest child is [tex]x-2=8-2=6\ years[/tex]

how many ways can you arrange SONG

Answers

Song= sngo, sogn, gnso, gosn, gnos, snog, 6 ways ?

Answer: 24

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

Explanation:

We have four blank slots to fill. Call them slot A,B,C,D. There are 4 letters to pick from when filling slot A. After that selection is made, there are 3 letters left for slot B. This process keeps going til you count down to 1.

Multiplying those values out gives 4*3*2*1 = 24

-----------

Extra info:

This concept is given factorial notation of an exclamation mark, so you'd write 4! = 4*3*2*1 = 24 or simply 4! = 24.

Another example of factorial notation is 7! = 7*6*5*4*3*2*1. We start with 7 and count our way down til we get to 1, multiplying all along the way.

You could also use the nPr permutation formula [tex]_nP_r = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}[/tex] though that isn't necessary in my opinion since it involves factorials which we already used above. If you use the permutation formula, then you would have n = 4 and r = 4. The n refers to the number of items you are arranging and r = 4 is the number of slots you are filling.

It turns out that [tex]_nP_r = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!} = n![/tex] when r = n.

You can think of it in a smaller chunk. If we fix S to be the first letter, then we have O,N,G to rearrange. There are 6 ways to do this as shown

ONGOGNNOGNGOGONGNO

Basically showing that 3! = 6. We have 4 different ways to have the first letter be selected, so we have 4*6 = 24 permutations of SONG.

A small bag of pretzels costs $0.99 and contains 4 ounces. A large bag of pretzels costs $2.99 and contains 15 ounces. Which is the better buy?

Answers

Answer:

$2.99 is the better buy

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the unit price for each bag of pretzels. This can be found by the formula: (cost/amount). in this case it is (cost/ ounce)

This means:

0.99 bag for 4 ounces means about 25 cents per oz

2.99 bag for 15 oz means about 20 cents per oz

The lower the unit price, the better the buy.

Each ounce is cheaper with the 2.99 bag, therefore it is the better choice.

On a coordinate plane, a curve crosses the y-axis at (0, 0). It has a maximum of 1 and a minimum of negative 1. it goes through 2 cycles at 2 pi.

On a coordinate plane, a curve crosses the y-axis at (0, 0). It has a maximum of 1 and a minimum of negative 1. it goes through 2 cycles at 8 pi.

Answers

Answer: On a coordinate plane, a curve crosses the y-axis at (0, 0). It has a maximum of 1 and a minimum of negative 1. it goes through 2 cycles at 8 pi.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is y = sin(0.5*x)

We know that sin(0) = 0, so this graph must pass trough the point (0,0)

We know that the maximum of the sin(x) is 1, when x = pi/2. and the minimum is -1 when x = (3/2)*pi

but in our case the function is valuated in 0.5*x

then the maximum is when:

0.5*x = pi/2

x = pi/(2*0.5) = pi

and the minimum is when

0.5*x = (3/2)*pi

x = 3*pi

Now, knowing that sin(2*pi) = 0

The other 0 of the sin is when we have 0.5*x = 2*pi

x = 2*pi/0.5 = 4*pi

this means that in 4*pi we have one cycle, then in 8*pi we have tow cycles.

Then the correct option is:

"On a coordinate plane, a curve crosses the y-axis at (0, 0). It has a maximum of 1 and a minimum of negative 1. it goes through 2 cycles at 8 pi."

Determine the slope and y-intercept. 4x + y = -10

Answers

slope = -4

y-intercept = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

First, isolate the y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract 4x from both sides:

4x + y = -10

4x (-4x) + y = -10 (-4x)

y = -4x - 10

Note the slope intercept form: y = mx + b

y = y

m = slope = -4

x = x

b = y-intercept = -10

Answer:

slope m=-4

A basketball has a circumference of 31.4 inches. Using 3.14 as an approximation for pie, what is the basketball's volume to the nearest cubic inch?

Answers

0.52 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: circumference of a basketball is 31.4 inches.

To find: basketball's volume to the nearest cubic inches

Solution:

circumference of a basketball (sphere) = 6.28(radius)

Also, circumference of a basketball = 31.4 inches.

So, 6.28(radius) = 3.14

radius = [tex]\frac{3.14}{6.28}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex] inch

Volume of the basketball (sphere) = [tex]\frac{4}{3}(\pi )(radius)^3=\frac{4}{3}(3.14)(\frac{1}{2})^3=0.52\,\,cubic\,\,inches[/tex]

Eric created a rectangular patio 1 ft.² paving stones which are sold in batches by a dozen the patio measures 7‘ x 8‘ how many batches of Pavingstone did Eric need

Answers

Answer:

The number of batches of paving stones Eric needs is 5 batches

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the size of of one paving stone = 1 ft²

The dimensions, size, of one patio = 7 ft × 8 ft = 56 ft²

Therefore, the number of paving stones Eric needs per patio is given by the relation;

[tex]Number\, of\ paving\ stones \ required =\frac{size\, of \, one\, patio}{size \, of \, one\, paving\, stone} = \frac{56 \, ft^2}{1 ft^2/(paving \, stone)} = 56 \, paving \, stones[/tex]

Since the paving stones are sold in batches of one dozen, we have ;

4 batches = 48 paving stones and 5 batches = 60 paving stones

Therefore, the number of batches of paving stones Eric needs = 5 batches.

What is a cylinder?

A cylinder is simply a 3-dimensional shape having two parallel circular bases joined by a curved surface.

The volume of a cylinder is expressed as;

V = π × r² × h

Where r is radius of the circular base, h is height and π is constant pi ( π = 3.14 )

Given the data in the question;

Radius r = 6.5ftHeight h = 11ftConstant pi π = 3.14Volume of the cylindrical water tank V = ?

We substitute our values into the expression above.

V = π × r² × h

V = 3.14 × (6.5ft)² × 11ft

V = 3.14 × 42.25ft² × 11ft

V = 1459ft³

The volume of the cylindrical water tank with the given value of radius and height to the nearest whole number is 1459ft³.
