Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]r \: = \: \boxed{ \bold{\frac{2}{3} }}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the ratio of the progression by dividing a term of it by the immediately preceding one.

[tex]r \: = \: \frac{36}{54} \\ \\ r \: = \: \frac{24}{36} \\ \\ r \: = \: \frac{16}{24} [/tex]

We simplify the fractions:

[tex]r \: = \: \frac{2}{3} \\ \\ r \: = \: \frac{2}{3} \\ \\ r \: = \: \frac{2}{3} [/tex]

Since the ratio is the same, that is the common ratio.

Use the function to predict the minimum target heart rate for a person 20 years old. beats per minute

Answers

The minimum target heart rate for a person 20 years old is 120 beats per minute

How to predict the minimum target heart rate?

The equation of the function is given as:

y = -0.6x + 132

Where x represents the age, and y represents the minimum target heart rate

From the question, we have:

x = 20

Substitute x = 20 in y = -0.6x + 132

This gives

y = -0.6 *20 + 132

Evaluate

y = 120

The value of p in the equation 2p - 3 = p + 2 Is ​

Answers

Answer:

p = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

2p - 3 = p+2

To Find:

Value of p

Soln:

2p - 3 = p + 2

Subtract p from both sides:

=>2p-3−p = p+2-p

=>p-3 = 2

Add 3 to both sides:

=>p−3+3 = 2+3

=>p = 5

Hence,the value of p would be 5.

We can plug the value we got to the original equation to verify:

=> 2p - 3 = p + 2

p = 5

=> 2(5) -3 = 5 + 2

[Make sure to simplify using PEMDAS]

How to identify points on a Plane?

A plane is defined by a line and a point outside of it. Meanwhile, a line is defined by two points. Thus, whenever we have 3 non-collinear points, we can define a plane.

Let us check each of the given options;

A) There are exactly two planes that contain points A, B, and F;

If these points are collinear, they can't make a plane and If they are not collinear, they define a plane.

Since we can't make two planes with them, then the statement is false.

B) There is exactly one plane that contains points E, F, and B;

Due to the same reasoning in part A, the statement is true assuming the points are not collinear.

C) The line that can be drawn through points C and G would lie in plane X;

The statement is true because both points C and G lie on plane X, and as such the line that connects them also should lie on the same plane.

D) The line that can be drawn through points E and F would lie in plane Y; Similar to above, this statement is true.

E) The only points that can lie on plane Y are points E and F.

On the first day of a song release, it had 20 million streams. If the number of streams increases by 10% per day, how many streams will there be on the seventh day

Answers

Answer:

  35.4 million

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume the description "increases by 10% per day" means the base of the percentage is the previous day's number of streams. Then the sequence of streams on consecutive days is a geometric sequence with a first term of 20 million and a common ratio of (1 +10%) = 1.10.

__

streams on day n

The n-th term of a geometric sequence is ...

  an = a1×r^(n-1) . . . . . where a1 is the first term, and r is the common ratio

The sequence of streams on consecutive days is then ...

  an = 20×1.10^(n-1) . . . . millions of streams on day n

seventh day

For n = 7, the number of streams is ...

  a7 = 20×1.10^(7 -1) ≈ 35.4 . . . . million streams

There will be about 35.4 million streams on the seventh day.

Answers

The number of boxes will weigh 18 ounces or less will be 138. Then the correct option is A.

What is a normal distribution?

The z-score is a statistical evaluation of a value's correlation to the mean of a collection of values, expressed in terms of standard deviation.

The z-score is given as

z = (x - μ) / σ

Where μ is the mean, σ is the standard deviation, and x is the sample.

The weights of boxes of rice produced at a factory are normally distributed with a mean of 20 ounces and a standard deviation of 1.5 ounces.

Consider a shipment of 1500 boxes of rice.

Then the number of the boxes will weigh 18 ounces or less will be

z = (18 - 20) / 1.5

z = -1.33

Then the probability will be

P(x ≤ 18) = P(z ≤ -1.33)

P(x ≤ 18) = 1 - P(z > -1.33)

P(x ≤ 18) = 1 - [1 - P(z < -1.33)]

P(x ≤ 18) = P(z < -1.33)

P(x ≤ 18) = 0.091211

Then the number of the boxes will weigh 18 ounces or less will be

⇒ 0.091211 x 1500

⇒ 136.8

approximately 138 boxes.

Then the correct option is A.

there is 1 litre of tea in a teapot, alex pours 275ml of the tea into a cup what percentage of the tea has alex poured

Answers

Answer:

27.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

1 Liter In TeapotAlex poured 275 milliliters of the tea into a cup

Review:

1,000 Milliliters = 1 Liter

Concepts:

A liter is a noun meaning a unit of capacity redefined in 1964 by a reduction of 28 parts in a million to be exactly equal to one cubic decimeter. It is equivalent to 1.0567  U.S. liquid quarts and is equal to the volume of 1 kilogram of distilled water at 4°C.A millimeter is a noun meaning a unit of capacity equal to one thousandth of a liter, and equivalent to 0.033815 fluid ounce, or 0.061025 cubic inch.

Formula:

The mℓ to formula is [L] = [mL] / 1000.

Now we must convert 275 milliliters to liters.

1. Divide the volume by 1,000.

275 ÷ 1000 = 0.275

2. Add the Unit Symbol for Liter.

0.275 ⇒ 0.275 L

Now we have to find how much of 1 liter- 0.275 liters as a percentage is.

To convert 0.275 to percent multiply 0.275 by 100. The result is 27.5 percent, or, using the percent sign, 27.5 %.

The Sine or Sin(θ) in a right angle triangle is the ratio of its perpendicular to its Hypotenuse. it is given as,

Sin(θ) = Perpendicular/Hypotenuse

where,

θ is the angle,

Perpendicular is the side of the triangle opposite to the angle θ,

The hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle.


The height of the wall can be found by using the trigonometry ratios, therefore, the height of the wall can be determined as,

Sin(74°) = (Height on the wall)/(Length of the wall)

Sin(74°) = (Height on the wall)/22 ft

(Height on the wall) = 21.148 ft
