The cost of an apple has decreased from $0.50 to $0.40. Work out the decrease cost of an apple as a percentage.
Answer:
Decreased by 20%
Step-by-step explanation:
0.5 x ? = 0.4
? = 0.4/0.5
? = 0.8
1 - 0.8 = 0.2
0.2 = 20%
To check, 20% of 0.5 is 0.1. 0.5 - 0.1 is 0.4. So the answer is correct.

what is the length of a rectangular solid with a volume of 180 cu ft, if it is 9 ft high and 4ft wide?
Answer:
5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for Volume is V=lwh, or Volume = length x width x height.
The equation would be:
[tex]180=l(4)(9)[/tex]
or
[tex]180=36l[/tex]
To find the answer, divide by 36.
[tex]\frac{180}{36} =\frac{36l}{36}[/tex]

Answer:
rightacuteobtuserightobtuseStep-by-step explanation:
When the same problem is repeated, I like to solve it using a spreadsheet. That way, the formulas only need to be entered once, and the arithmetic is (almost) guaranteed to be done correctly.
A "form factor" computed from side lengths can be used to determine the type of triangle. Where 'c' is the long side, that factor can be computed as ...
f = a² +b² -c²
and interpreted as follows:
f = 0, right trianglef > 0, acute trianglef < 0, obtuse triangle(The sign of f matches the sign of the cosine of the largest angle computed using the law of cosines.)
Of course, a right triangle can also be identified by looking at the slopes of the sides of the triangle. If any pair of slopes has a product that is -1, or if any pair is 0 and "undefined", then the triangle will be a right triangle.
__
The attached spreadsheet is designed to accommodate a number of different problem requirements. It shows both side lengths and slopes, and it shows the "form factor" as described above. The final classification is shown at far right.
Please helpppp me I really confused
Answer:
The answer would be D
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a piecewise function, meaning that it is split into two parts. The right side is an exponential and that part is greater than one, the left side is a line less than or equal to one. The only equation that matches the criteria for that is D.
Consider the function z(x,y) describing the paraboloid \[z = (2x - y)^2 - 2y^2 - 3y.\]Archimedes and Brahmagupta are playing a game. Archimedes first chooses $x.$ Afterwards, Brahmagupta chooses $y.$ Archimedes wishes to minimize $z$ while Brahmagupta wishes to maximize $z.$ Assuming that Brahmagupta will play optimally, what value of $x$ should Archimedes choose?
Answer: -3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Expanding z we get
z = 4x^2 - 4xy + y^2 - 2y^2 - 3y
= -y^2 - (4x + 3) y + 4x^2.
After Archimedes chooses x, Brahmagupta will choose
y=-(4x+3/2) in order to maximize z
Then
z=-((-4x+3)/2)^2 -(4x+3)(-4x+3)/2)^2)+4x^2
z=8x^2+6x+9/4
To minimize this expression, Archimedes should choose x=-3/8

While planning a hiking trip, you examine a map of the trail you are going on hike. The scale on the map shows that 2 inches represents 5 miles.
If the trail measures 12 inches on the map, how long is the trail?
Answer:
30 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Scale = 2 inches represents 5 miles
This means that 2 inches in the map equals to 5 miles on ground ;
Hence, if the trail measures 12 inches on the map, the length on ground will be ; x
2 inches = 5 miles
12 inches = x miles
Cross multiply :
2x = (12 * 5)
2x = 60
x = 60 / 2
x = 30 miles

A town recently dismissed 8 employees in order to meet their new budget reductions. The town had 9 employees over 50 years of age and 16 under 50. If the dismissed employees were selected at random, what is the probability that at least 7 employees were over 50? Express your answer as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to four decimal places.
Answer:
The probability that at least 7 employees were over 50 is 0.0073%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a town recently dismissed 8 employees in order to meet their new budget reductions, and the town had 9 employees over 50 years of age and 16 under 50, if the dismissed employees were selected at random, to determine what is the probability that at least 7 employees were over 50, the following calculation must be performed:
9/25 x 8/24 x 7/23 x 6/22 x 5/21 x 4/20 x 3/19 = X
0.36 x 0.33 x 0.304 x 0.272 x 0.238 x 0.2 x 0.157 = X
0.000073 = X
100X = 0.0073
Therefore, the probability that at least 7 employees were over 50 is 0.0073%.

Kenji simplifies 3^5 x 4^ 5and gets the result 12^10, but Darlene is not sure. Is Kenji correct? Justify your answer.
That's a question about exponentiation.
Answer:
Kenji is wrong because he does not aply the porperty correctly.
Step-by-step explanation:
A exponetiation has this form:
[tex]\boxed{a^b}[/tex]
a is the base
b is the power or exponent
To understand that situation it's important to know a property about exponentiation. When we have a multiplication with the same exponent and diferent bases, the result is the multiplication of the bases with the same exponent. Let's see this above, in mathematical language:
[tex]\boxed{a^b \cdot c^b = (a\cdot c) ^b}[/tex]
Examples:
[tex]2^3 \cdot 8^3 = (2 \cdot 8) ^3 = 16^3[/tex][tex]10^9 \cdot 23^9 = (10 \cdot 23) ^9 = 230^9[/tex]Now, we can say why Kenji is wrong. It's easy simplify [tex]3^5 \cdot 4^5[/tex]! We know that the result is [tex](3 \cdot 4) ^5 = 12^5[/tex], but Kenji multiplied the bases and added the exponents, that's why he is wrong.

You throw two four-sided dice. Let the random variable X represent the maximum value of the two dice. Compute E(X). Round your answer to three decimal places.
Answer:
E(X)=3.125
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that two four sided dice.
Then , the sample space
{(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4)}
Total number of outcomes=16
Let the random variable X represent the maximum value of the two dice
Outcomes X P(X)
(1,1) 1 1/16
(1,2),(2,1),(2,2) 2 3/16
(1,3),(2,3),(3,1),(3,2),(3,3) 3 5/16
(1,4),(3,4) ,(2,4),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4) 4 7/16
Using the probability formula
[tex]P(E)=\frac{Favorable\;outcomes}{Total\;number\;of\;outcomes}[/tex]
Now,
[tex]E(X)=\sum_{i=1}^{n}x_iP(x_i)[/tex]
[tex]E(x)=1(1/16)+2(3/16)+3(5/16)+4(7/16)[/tex]
[tex]E(x)=\frac{1+6+15+28}{16}[/tex]
[tex]E(x)=\frac{50}{16}=3.125[/tex]
Given the parabola below, find the endpoints of the latus rectum. (x-2)^2=-20(y+2)
Answer:
The endpoints of the latus rectum are [tex](12, -7)[/tex] and [tex](-8, -7)[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
A parabola with vertex at point [tex]C(x, y) = (h,k)[/tex] and whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis is defined by the following formula:
[tex](x-h)^{2} = 4\cdot p \cdot (y-k)[/tex] (1)
Where:
[tex]y[/tex] - Independent variable.
[tex]x[/tex] - Dependent variable.
[tex]p[/tex] - Distance from vertex to the focus.
[tex]h[/tex], [tex]k[/tex] - Coordinates of the vertex.
The coordinates of the focus are represented by:
[tex]F(x,y) = (h, k+p)[/tex] (2)
The latus rectum is a line segment parallel to the x-axis which contains the focus. If we know that [tex]h = 2[/tex], [tex]k = -2[/tex] and [tex]p = -5[/tex], then the latus rectum is between the following endpoints:
By (2):
[tex]F(x,y) = (2, -2-5)[/tex]
[tex]F(x,y) = (2,-7)[/tex]
By (1):
[tex](x-2)^{2} = -20\cdot (-7+2)[/tex]
[tex](x-2)^{2} = 100[/tex]
[tex]x - 2 = \pm 10[/tex]
There are two solutions:
[tex]x_{1} = 2 + 10[/tex]
[tex]x_{1} = 12[/tex]
[tex]x_{2} = 2-10[/tex]
[tex]x_{2} = -8[/tex]
Hence, the endpoints of the latus rectum are [tex](12, -7)[/tex] and [tex](-8, -7)[/tex].

Random samples of size 81 are taken from a population whose mean is 45 and standard deviation is 9. Calculate the probability that a sample mean is less than 42. (round to 4 decimal places)
HINT: When you randomly select a group (n > 1) then you need to re-calculate the standard deviation using the formula:
σ n
Answer:
Using z table
= 0.0013
The probability = 0.0013
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
mean = μ = 45
standard deviation = σ = 9

μT = μ =45
[tex]\sigma T = \sigma / \sqrt n = 9 / \sqrt81 =1[/tex]
