12. A staffs shadow is 8 feet and a tree's shadow is 16 feet. If the staff is 9 feet tall, how tall is the tree?
A. 15 ft
B. 18 ft
C. 12 ft
D. 9 ft

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

18 ft

Step-by-step explanation

1. Put 8/16 like a fraction and since we do not know the height of the tree yet we put the height as 9/d.

2. We have to cross multiply so we multiply 8 by d and we get 8d. Then we multiply 9 by 16 and we get 144.

3. We divide both sides by 8 so we can get (d) by itself and we divide 144 by 8 also.

4. We get d = 18

The answer is correct but my explanation is a little hard to read so sorry about that :)

Suppose you have just poured a cup of freshly brewed coffee with temperature 90∘C in a room where the temperature is 20∘C.
Newton's Law of Cooling states that the rate of cooling of an object is proportional to the temperature difference between the object and its surroundings. Therefore, the temperature of the coffee, T(t), satisfies the differential equation

dT/dt=k(T−Troom)

where Troom=20 is the room temperature, and k is some constant.
Suppose it is known that the coffee cools at a rate of 1∘C per minute when its temperature is 70∘C.

A. What is the limiting value of the temperature of the coffee?
limt→[infinity]T(t)= ________
B. What is the limiting value of the rate of cooling?
limt→[infinity]dT/dt= _________
C. Find the constant k in the differential equation.
k= _________
D. Use Euler's method with step size h=2 minutes to estimate the temperature of the coffee after 10 minutes.
T(10)= _________

Answers

Solution :

A). As the time passes the temperature of the coffee tends to acquire the temperature of the room, so the limiting value of the temperature of the coffee is 20°C. i.e.

[tex]$\lim_{t \to \infty} T(t)=20$[/tex]

B). And limiting value of rate of cooling is given by :

[tex]$\lim_{t \to \infty} \ \frac{dT}{dt} =\lim_{t \to \infty} \ [k(T-T_{room})] $[/tex]

              [tex]$=k . \lim_{t \to \infty} (T-T_{room})$[/tex]

              [tex]$=k .[ \lim_{t \to \infty} T-\lim_{t \to \infty} T_{room}]$[/tex]

              [tex]$=k.[T_{room}-T_{room}]$[/tex]

              = k. 0

             = 0

C). Given, [tex]$\frac{dT}{dt} = -1, $[/tex] when T(t) = 70° using this in the given equation,

         -1 = k.(70-20)

         k = -0.02

D). By Euler method, we get

      [tex]$T_{n+1}=T_n + h \ f(t_n, T_n)$[/tex]

      [tex]$t_{n+1}=t_n +h$[/tex]

where, [tex]$f(t,T) =k(T-T_{room})$[/tex]

                       = -0.02(T - 20)

We have [tex]$T_0 = 90^\circ$[/tex]  at t = 0 and h = 2.

So [tex]$t_1 = 0+2 = 2$[/tex]

∴ [tex]$T_1=T_0 + h \ f(t_0,T_0)$[/tex]

       = 90+2[-0.02(90-20)]

       = 87.2

At [tex]$t_2 = 2+2 = 4$[/tex]

[tex]$T_2=T_1 + h \ f(t_1,T_1)$[/tex]

   = 87.2+2[-0.02(87.2-20)]

  = 84.51

At [tex]$t_3 = t_2+2 = 4+2=6$[/tex]

[tex]$T_3=T_2 + h \ f(t_2,T_2)$[/tex]

   = 84.51+2[-0.02(84.51-20)]

  = 81.93

At [tex]$t_4 = t_3+4 = 6+2=8$[/tex]

[tex]$T_4=T_3 + h \ f(t_4,T_4)$[/tex]

   = 81.93+2[-0.02(81.93-20)]

  = 79.45

At [tex]$t_5 = t_4+2 = 8+2=10$[/tex]

[tex]$T_5=T_4 + h \ f(t_4,T_4)$[/tex]

   = 79.45+2[-0.02(79.45-20)]

  = 77.07

So after 10 minutes, the temperature of the coffee will be 77.07°C.

A contractor is required by a county planning department to submit one, two, three, four, five, six, or seven forms (depending on the nature of the project) in applying for a building permit. Let Y = the number of forms required of the next applicant. The probability that y forms are required is known to be proportional to y—that is, p(y) = ky for y = 1, , 7.
A) What is the value of c?
B) What is the probability that at most three forms are required?
C) What is the probability that between two and four forms (inclusive) are required?
D) Could pX(x) = x^2/50 for x = 1, . . . , 5 be a probability distribution of X? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

P(Y) = ky

where;

y =1,2,...7

To find the value of c or k (constant)

[tex]\sum P(Y) = 1[/tex]

[tex]\sum \limits_{y \to 1}^7 k*y = 1[/tex]

= k(1+2+3+4+5+6+7) = 1

28k = 1

[tex]k = \dfrac{1}{28}[/tex]

b) The required probability is P ( X ≤ 3)

[tex]P(X \le 3) = \sum \limits^3_{y=1 } P(y)[/tex]

[tex]P(X \le 3) = \sum \limits^3_{y=1 } \dfrac{1}{28}(y)[/tex]

[tex]P(X \le 3) = \dfrac{1}{28} (1 +2+3)[/tex]

[tex]P(X \le 3) = \dfrac{6}{28}[/tex]

P ( X ≤ 3) = 0.2143

c) The required probability P(2 ≤ Y ≤ 4)

[tex]P(2 \le Y \le 4) = \sum \limits ^4_{y=2} P(Y)[/tex]

[tex]P(2 \le Y \le 4) = \sum \limits ^4_{y=2} \dfrac{1}{28}(Y)[/tex]

[tex]P(2 \le Y \le 4) = \dfrac{1}{28}(2+3+4)[/tex]

[tex]P(2 \le Y \le 4) = 0.3214[/tex]

d) The required probability:

[tex]P(X) = \dfrac{x^2}{50} ; \ \ \ \ where; \ x= 1,2,...5[/tex]

[tex]\sum \limits ^5_{y =1} P(Y)= \sum \limits ^5_{y =1} \dfrac{1}{50}(x)^2[/tex]

[tex]\sum \limits ^5_{y =1} P(Y)= \sum \limits ^5_{y =1} \dfrac{1}{50}(1+4+9+16+25)[/tex]

[tex]\sum \limits ^5_{y =1} P(Y)=1.1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula = Number × 100 = 39 × 100

Percent 4

Following shows the steps on how to derive this formula

Step 1 : if 4% of a number is 39, then what is 100% of the number ? Setup the equation.

39 = Y

4% 100 %

Step 2 : Solve for Y

Using cross multiplication of two fractions , we get

What additional information would allow the triangles to be proven similar by AA?

Answers

The additional information would allow the triangles to be proven similar by AA is: C. ∠M ≅ ∠P.

What is the AA Similarity Theorem?

The acronym, "AA" stands for "angle-angle". Thus, the AA similarity theorem is a triangle theorem that is used to prove that two triangles that have two pairs of corresponding congruent angles are similar to each other.

The figure given shows two triangles, triangle MNO and triangle PQR, which have a pair of corresponding congruent angles, angle MNO and angle PQR [both are congruent because they are right angles that are equal to angle 90 degrees.]

Thus, this is not enough to prove that both triangles are similar to each other by the AA similarity theorem.

In other to prove that both triangles are similar by AA, we need to be given or shown that both triangles also have another pair of corresponding congruent angles.

Thus, the additional information needed can be: C. ∠M ≅ ∠P.

If a restaurant purchases organic food there is a 66% chance it will go bankrupt. If a restaurant does not purchase organic food there is a 64% chance it will go bankrupt. Only 12% of businesses purchase organic food. When a restaurant goes bankrupt what is the probability it purchased organic food

Answers

Answer:

0.1233 = 12.33% probability it purchased organic food

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Goes bankrupt

Event B: Purchase organic food.

Probability it goes bankrupt:

66% of 12%(purchases organic food)

64% of 88%(dont purchase organic food).

So

[tex]P(A) = 0.66*0.12 + 0.64*0.88 = 0.6424[/tex]

Intersection of A and B:

Bankrupt when purchases organic food. So

66% of 12%

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.66*0.12 = 0.0792[/tex]

When a restaurant goes bankrupt what is the probability it purchased organic food

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.0792}{0.6424} = 0.1233[/tex]

0.1233 = 12.33% probability it purchased organic food
