A prisoner is trapped in a cell containing 3 doors. The first door leads to a tunnelthat returns him to his cell after 2 days’ travel. The second leads to a tunnel thatreturns him to his cell after 4 day’s travel. The third door leads to freedom after 1day of travel. If it is assumed that the prisoner will always select doors 1,2,and 3with respective probabilities 0.5,0.3, and 0.2, what is the expected number of daysuntil the prisoner reaches freedom?

Answer:

$11286.95 second year

$10335 first year

Step-by-step explanation:

9% of 9500 is 855, 9500 plus 855 = 10335. (first year)

9% of 10335 is 931.95, and 10335+931.95 is 11286.95. (second year)

The amount in the account at the end of 1 year  $10335 (first year)

The amount in the account at the end of 2 years $11286.95.

Compound interest is when you earn interest on both the money you've saved and the interest you earn.

Formula:

A = P(1 + {r}/{n})^{n.t}

here, we have,

$9500 is placed in an account that pays 9% interest compounded each year.

so, we get,

9% of 9500 is 855,

9500 plus 855 = 10335. (first year)

again,

9% of 10335 is 931.95,

and 10335+931.95 is 11286.95. (second year)

Hence, The amount in the account at the end of 1 year  $10335 (first year)

The amount in the account at the end of 2 years $11286.95.

#SPJ2

Answer:

For question 1 you can try dividing each of the value

For instance, you can divide 9 by 25 and see if you get a nice number

e.g. 1/8=0.125, numbers like these

For the second question, you can find the fraction by dividing 1000 starting with the decimal points

e.g 0.650, you would be plotting 650/1000 and you would simplify the fraction to the lowest value any value above the decimal point you can multiply by the denominator and add the nominator value to get your final answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Write the denominator in its prime factors. If the prime factorization of the denominator of a fraction has only factors of 2 and factors of 5, the decimal expression terminates.  If there is any prime factor in the denominator other than 2 or 5, then the decimal expression repeats.

example: 9/25

25 = 5*5, so it will be terminating

example: 7/12

12 = 3*2*2, which contains a 3, so it will be repeating.

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Net of a cube

Fig. 1 is the net of a cube  

b. Does the formula work?

Tony's formula works if you ignore dimensions.

There are six squares in the net of a cube.

If each side has a unit length s, the total area of the cube is 6s.

c. Will the formula work for any rectangular prism?

No, because a rectangular prism has sides of three different lengths — l, w, and h — as in Fig. 2.

d. Area of a rectangular prism

A rectangular prism has six faces.

A top (T) and a bottom (b) — A = 2×l×w

A left (L) and a right (R)    —   A = 2×l×h

A front (F) and a back (B) —   A = 2×w×h

                                  Total area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh

If l = 5 m, w = 6 m and h = 8 m,

[tex]\begin{array}{rl}A &=& \text{2$\times$ 5 m $\times$ 6 m + 2$\times$ 5 m $\times$ 8 m + 2 $\times$ 6 m $\times$ 8 m}\\&=& \text{60 m}^{2} + \text{80 m}^{2} + \text{96 m}^{2}\\&=& \textbf{236 m}^{2}\\\end{array}[/tex]

Answer:

The greatest common factor of the expression is 25x

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in giving the greatest common factor of the expression.

We can do this by factorization till we have no common factors left.

the expression is;

100x^2 -250xy + 75x

we start with the common factor x;

x(100x -250y + 75)

The next thing to do here is to find the greatest common factor of 100,250 and 75.

The greatest common factor here is 25.

Thus, we have;

25x(4x -10y + 3)

There is no more factor to get from the terms in the bracket. This simply means that the terms in the bracket are no longer factorizable

So the greatest common factor we have is 25x

Answer:

225.78 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we would be using the formula

P(t) = Po × 2^t/n

Where P(t) = Remaining amount after r hours

Po = Initial amount

t = Time

In the question,

Where P(t) = Remaining amount after r hours = unknown

Po = Initial amount = 537

t = Time = 10 days

P(t) = 537 × 2^(10/)

P(t) = 225.78 grams

Therefore, the amount of iodine-131 left after 10 days = 225.78 grams

Answer:

The answer is 1/3

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The factors of 5 are 1,5;

* The factors of 15 are 1,3,5,15.

We can see that the GCD is 5 because it is the largest number by which 5 y 15 can be divided without leaving any residue.

To reduce this fraction, simply divide the numerator and denominator by 5 (the GCF).

So, 5 /15

= 5÷5 /15÷5

= 1 /3

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

The two polynomials are:

(x + 1) and (x² + x)

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial is simply an expression which consists of variables & coefficients involving only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non - negative integer exponents of variables.

Now, 1 and x are both polynomials. Thus; 1/x is already a quotient of a polynomial.

Now, to get two polynomial expressions whose quotient, when simplified, is 1/x, we will just multiply the numerator and denominator by the same polynomial to get more quotients.

So,

Let's multiply both numerator and denominator by (x + 1) to get;

(x + 1)/(x(x + 1))

This gives; (x + 1)/(x² + x)

Now, 1 and x are both polynomials but the expression "1/x" is not a polynomial but a quotient and thus polynomials are not closed under division.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine coordinate system

I quarter is where x>0 and y>0  {right top} and it is (0°,90°)

II quarter is where x<0 and y>0  {left top} and it is (90°,180°)

III quarter is where x<0 and y<0  {left bottom} and it is (180°,270°)

IV quarter is where x>0 and y<0  {right bottom} and it is (270°,360°)

Now, we have an angle wich vertex is point (0,0) and one of its sides is X-axis and the second lay at one of the quarters.

For the trig functons of an angle created by this second side always are true:

In first quarter all functions are >0

in second one only sine

in third one: tangent and cotangent

and in fourth one: cosine

{You can check this by selecting any point on the second side of angle and put it's coordinates to formulas of these functions:

[tex]\sin \phi=\dfrac y{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}\,,\quad \cos \phi=\dfrac x{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}\,,\quad \tan\phi=\dfrac yx\,,\quad \cot\phi=\dfrac xy[/tex]  }

So:

sinφ<0  ⇒ III or IV quarter

tanφ<0  ⇒ I or IV quarter

IV quarter  ⇒  φ ∈ (270°, 360°)

Answer:

4.61 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of depression of the bottom of the shorter building from the top of the taller building = 48° equals the angle of elevation of the top of the taller building from the bottom of the shorter building

Using trig ratios

tan48° = H/d where H = height of taller building and d = their distance apart = 12 m

H = dtan48° = 12tan48° = 13.33 m

Also, the angle of elevation of the top of the shorter building from the bottom of the taller building is 36°

Using trig ratios

tan36° = h/d where h = height of shorter building

h =dtan36° = 12tan36° = 8.72 m

Now, the difference in height of the buildings is thus H - h = 13.33 m - 8.72 m = 4.61 m

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given her total cost of ride tickets modeled by the equation c = 3.5t where c is the total cost of tickets and t is the number of tickets, If Stacy bought 15 tickets, to know the amount she would spend on 15 tickets, we will substitute t = 15 into the modeled equation as shown;

[tex]c = 3.5t\\when t = 15\\\\c = 3.5(15)\\\\c = \frac{35}{10} * 15\\ \\c = \frac{5*7}{5*2} * 15\\\\[/tex]

[tex]c = \frac{7}{2} * 15\\ \\c = \frac{105}{2}\\ \\c = \ 52.2[/tex]

Hence Stacy would spend $52.2 on 15 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

p(x), q(x), and their product are all polynomials.

p(x) · q(x) = 6x² + 10x - 63

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all P(x) and q(x) are polynomials because polynomials refer to any sum, difference, or product of a collection of algebraic terms. The word polynomials is general. P(x) and q(x) are polynomials but more specifically they are binomials since they only have two terms. Their product is a polynomial as well, but more specifically its a trinomial because it has three terms.

process of multiplying

Using the distributive property (or foil method) when multiplying p(x) and q(x) you would first get the expression 6x² - 18x + 28x - 63. From here you would combine "like terms". This would give you your final answer of

6x² + 10x - 63. Sorry, I couldn't help you with the D question but I hope this helps ;)

Answer:

The equation

[tex]4\,x^2-5=2\,(x+1)^2-7[/tex]

can be solved by first expanding all indicated operations, and later when the constant terms disappear, by factoring out 2x , leaving the equation as a product of two factors equal zero, from which it is easy to extract the roots. See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving for x in the following expression, and using factoring to apply at the end the zero product theorem:

[tex]4\,x^2-5=2\,(x+1)^2-7\\4\,x^2-5=2\,(x^2+2x+1)-7\\4\,x^2-5=2\,x^2+4\,x+2-7\\4\,x^2-5=2\.x^2+4\,x-5\\4\,x^2=2\,x^2+4\,x\\4\,x^2-2\,x^2-4\,x=0\\2\,x^2-4\,x=0\\2\,x\,(x-2)=0[/tex]

We observe that for the last product, to get a zero, x has to be zero (making the first factor zero), or x has to be "2" making the binomial factor zero.

Answer:

1) -∠B ≅ ∠D

2) -Interior angles on the same side of a transversal are supplementary

3) -∠A ≅ ∠C

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Given that ∠A and ∠B are supplements and ∠A and ∠D are supplements, we have; ∠B ≅ ∠D

2)  Given that ABCD is a parallelogram, therefore ∠A and ∠B,  ∠A and ∠D and ∠B and ∠C  are interior angles on the same side of a transversal and are therefore supplementary

3) Given that ∠A and ∠B and ∠B and ∠C are supplementary, therefore, ∠A ≅ ∠C.

Answer:

The perimeter of the rectangle is represented by [tex]p = 32\cdot d + 9[/tex], measured in centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter ([tex]p[/tex]) of a rectangle, measured in centimeters, is represented by this formula:

[tex]p = 2\cdot (w+l)[/tex]

Where [tex]w[/tex] and [tex]l[/tex] are width and length, measured in centimeters.

If [tex]w = 6.8\cdot d-4.2[/tex] and [tex]l = 9.2\cdot d+8.7[/tex], the expression that represents the perimeter is:

[tex]p = 2\cdot (16\cdot d +4.5)[/tex]

[tex]p = 32\cdot d + 9[/tex]

The perimeter of the rectangle is represented by [tex]p = 32\cdot d + 9[/tex], measured in centimeters.

Answer and Step-by-step explanation: The described right triangle is in the attachment.

As it is shown, AC is the hypotenuse and BC and AB are the sides, so use Pytagorean Theorem to find the unknown measure:

AC² = AB² + BC²

[tex]AB^{2} = AC^{2}-BC^{2}[/tex]

[tex]AB =\sqrt{AC^{2}-BC^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]AB =\sqrt{7^{2}-4.5^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]AB =\sqrt{28.75}[/tex]

AB = 5.4

Then, right triangle ABC measures:

AB = 5.4cm

BC = 4.5cm

AC = 7cm

Divide both sides by 3

[tex]3x/3=9/3\\x=3[/tex]

Answer:

The amount of money in Enid bank account can be written as a linear equation.

Ye = Xe + $4*m

where Ye is the money that Enid has in her account, m is the number of months that have passed since she opened it, and Xe is the initial deposit.

For Jim, the equation is similar:

Yj = Xj + $3*m

where Yj and Xj are similar as above.

Between May 15 and December 31 of the same year, we have 7 months (where i am counting December because the deposit is made in the first day of the month).

Then we have that:

Ye = $72 = Xe + $4*7 = Xe + $28

Xe = $72 - $28 = $44

So in May 15, Enid deposited $44.

For Jim we have:

Yj = $72 = Xj + $3*7 = Xj + $21

Xj = $72 - $21 = $51

So in May 15, Jim deposited $51.

260,000*10

at 40 she would have 2,600,000

2,600,000*10

at 50 she would have 26,000,000

at 50 she already has earned more money that the $20 million.

She should go with the $5000 per week if she would like more money.

Answer:

linear equation to express the price is:

y=0.72x+0.21

An eight quarts will cost :  $5.97

Step-by-step explanation:

linear equation represent y=mx+b

let x=quarts ( x=4, x=2)

y= price (3.09 and y=1.65 )

two points (4,3.09) and (2,1.65)

need to find the slope m:

y2-y1/x2-x1

(1.65-3.09)/(2-4) ⇒ m=0.72

y=0.72x+b  find b at point (2,1.65)

1.65=0.72(2) +b  ⇒ b=0.21

y=0.72x +0.21

check : point (4,3.09)

y=0.72(4) +0.21

y=3.09  ( correct)

An eight quarts will cost :

y=0.72(8)+0.21

y=5.97 dollars
