Step-by-step explanation:

It would take 3 faucets 6/4 = 1.5 minutes to fill a 25-gallon tub since when the number of faucets stays the same, the volume of the tub and the time needed to fill the tub are directly proportional. However, when the volume of the tub stays the same, the number of faucets used and the time needed to fill the tub are inversely proportional, therefore, if I double the number of faucets used, it will half the time needed, so the answer is 1.5 / 2 = 0.75 minutes or 45 seconds.

Answer:

[tex]\large\boxed{45 seconds}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Variable Key

Faucets = f

Minutes = m

Gallons = g

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Write an equation to display how long it takes for the 3 faucets to fill up a 100 gallon tub.

100g = 6m

Divide both sides of the equation by 6

m = 16.67g

This means that approximately 16.67 gallons are filled up per minute with 3 faucets. We found the measurement (gallons), which is based on the time (minutes). This is called the unit rate.

Now that we found the unit rate for 3 faucets, let's find the unit rate for 6 faucets by multiplying our unit rate by 2.

3f = 16.67g per minute

6f = (16.67g per minute)(2)

6f = 33.34 g per minute

We now know the unit rate for 6 faucets, so now all we have to do is divide that by 25 gallons, the second tub.

25g / 33.34 g = 0.75 minutes

Convert to seconds

0.75 minutes = 3/4 of a minute

1 minute = 60 seconds

Substitute

3/4(60)

Answer:

1/6 or 16.7% chance

Step-by-step explanation:

A die has 6 sides, and there is only one side with a number divisible by 5, which is the number 5.

So, the probability of rolling a number divisible by 5 is 1/6.

= 1/6 or 0.167

The odds in favor of obtaining a number divisible by 5 will be 1/6 or 0.1667.

Its basic premise is that something will almost certainly happen. The percentage of favorable events to the total number of occurrences.

The die is rolled for a single time. Then the total number of the events will be

Total event = 6 {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

The odds in favor of obtaining a number divisible by 5 will be

There is only one number that is divisible by 5 which is 5.

Then the number of favorable events will be

Favorable event = 1 {5}

Then the probability will be

P = 1 / 6

P = 0.1667

The odds in favor of obtaining a number divisible by 5 will be 1/6 or 0.1667.

Correct option is Option B: The standard deviation is a better measure of spread for movies than it is for basketball games.

Visual analysis for movies:

Movies data is more centric to mean and not skewed on a particular side.

Visual analysis for Basketball games:

Basketball games data is not centric to mean but is skewed or say more dense in right then left.

Property of standard deviation and its limitation:

Standard deviation just measures the deviation or spread with respect to mean of collected data. It is non- sensible for skewness of the data and thus more information is needed in such case.

Property of IQR and its limitation:

IQR is interquartile range. IQR generally is less powerful than standard deviation, but more powerful if the data is skewed and its variability has to be measured. It measures the range or say difference between [tex]Q_3 \: and \: Q_1[/tex]

In the movies data, the data is more collected and barely visible to be skewed. Thus standard deviation is best suited for this dataset.

In the basketball data, the standard deviation will fail to give good information about the data. The IQR, is better here since we've to measure variability or dispersion of data which is skewed.

Thus, option B: The standard deviation is a better measure of spread for movies than it is for basketball games; is correct option.

Answer: interval from -8 to 5

In interval notation, we would write [-8, 5]

The domain is the set of allowed x inputs to a function. The left-most point is (-8,0) so x = -8 is the smallest x value allowed. The largest x value allowed is x = 5 due to the point (5,0) being the right-most point.

380 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

10*10=100(base square)

Each triangle= (14*10) /2=70

4 sides, so therefore: 70*4=280

280+100=380

Since the square base has side 10 cm and triangular side has height 14 cm, the total surface area of square pyramid is 380 cm²

To answer the question, we need to find the total surface area of the square pyramid

Since a square pyramid has a square base and four triangular sides, its surface area, A = area of square base + 4 × Area of triangular side.

Area of square with side, L is A = L²

Area of triangle with height, h and base, L which is the length of the square base is A' = 1/2Lh

So, total surface area of square pyramid is A" = L² + 4 × 1/2Lh

= L² + 2Lh

Given that the length of the square base is 10 cm and the height of the triangular side is 14 cm.

We have that

So, substituting the values of the variables intot he equation, we have

A" = L² + 2Lh

A" = (10 cm)² + 2 × 10 cm × 14 cm

A" = 100 cm² + 280 cm²

A" = 380 cm²

So, the total surface area of square pyramid is 380 cm²

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The vertex form of a parabola is y=a(x-h)²+k. The h represents the horizontal transformation, while the k represents the vertical. The vertex of a parabola in this form is (h,k). The a represents a vertical stretch or shrink.

Our parabola is y=(x+1)²+2. This is already in vertex form, so we do not need to change the equation. There is no a (basically a=1), which means that the parabola has not been stretched or shrunk from its parent form.

We see that the h is -1. This is because in the original equation it is (x-h)², so it has to be -1 because the two negatives make a positive which is the +1. (x--1)=(x+1).

We see that the k value is 2.

Since the vertex is (h,k), this vertex is (-1,2).

However, we have to shift the parabola 7 units to the right and 5 units down. So, we add 7 to the x-value and subtract 5 from the y-value of the vertex.

(x,y)⇒(x+7,y-5)

(-1,2)⇒(6,-3)

Therefore, the vertex of the resulting parabola is (6,-3).

Step-by-step explanation:

14=7(2x-4)

14/7=2x-4

2=2x-4

2x=2+4

2x=6

x=6/2

x=3

------------

14=7(2x-4)

14=14x-28

14x=14+28

14x=42

x=42/14

x=3

The equation 14 = 7(2x - 4) can be solved using two different methods: the distributive property method and the inverse operations method. Both methods yield the same solution, which is x = 3. The preference between the two methods depends on personal preference and the specific equation being solved.

Distributive Property Method:

We'll distribute the 7 to the terms inside the parentheses:

14 = 7(2x - 4)

14 = 14x - 28

Next, we'll isolate the variable term:

14x = 14 + 28

14x = 42

Finally, we'll solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 14:

x = 42/14

x = 3

So the solution to the equation is x = 3.

Inverse Operations Method:

We'll use inverse operations to solve the equation step by step:

14 = 7(2x - 4)

Divide both sides of the equation by 7 to isolate the term in parentheses:

14/7 = 7(2x - 4)/7

2 = 2x - 4

Add 4 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable term:

2 + 4 = 2x - 4 + 4

6 = 2x

Divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for x:

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain:

The function has no undefined points nor domain constraints. Therefore, the domain is

[tex]...-\infty \:<x<\infty \:[/tex]

Definition: The domain of a function is the set of input or argument values for which the function is real and defined.

Answer:

  4 months

Step-by-step explanation:

The 24% APR corresponds to a monthly rate of 24%/12 = 2%. This finance charge on a balance of $300 is ...

  0.02 × $300 = $6.00

To pay off $300 will take more than 3 payments of $100 because of the finance charge. Because the finance charge is not very large, the last month's payment will not need to be $100, but will be somewhat less.

It will take 4 months to pay off the balance.

_____

Additional comment

The actual finance charge will depend on your credit agreement. It may amount to $4 the second month, and $2.08 the third month, if it is charged on the outstanding balance. That is, the 4th month's payment may only be $6.08. If there is a finance charge on the initial $300 balance, that may cause the last payment to be a little more than $12.
