Answer:
1. [tex]2^{3}[/tex] x [tex]3^{6}[/tex]
ii. 18
b. -12
2. nth = a + (n - 1)d
ii. k = 103
3. [tex]x^{o}[/tex] = [tex]27^{o}[/tex]
4. Volume = 25.025 [tex]m^{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Prime factors of 5832 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3
= [tex]2^{3}[/tex] x [tex]3^{6}[/tex]
ii. [tex]\sqrt[3]{5832}[/tex] = 18
b. 2[tex]a^{2}[/tex] - 3[tex]b^{2}[/tex] + 3abc
a = 3, b = 2, c = -1
Thus,
2[tex](3)^{2}[/tex] - 3[tex](2)^{2}[/tex] + 3(3 x 2 x -1)
= 18 - 12 - 18
= -12
2. The required formula is;
nth = a + (n - 1)d
where: a is the first term, n is the number of terms in the sequence and d is the common difference.
b. kth term = 304, then
304 = -2 + (k - 1) 3
= -2 + 3k -3
= 3k - 5
3k = 304 + 5
3k = 309
k = [tex]\frac{309}{3}[/tex]
= 103
k = 103
3. Comparing <DAB and < EBC;
<DAB ≅ <EBC = [tex]x^{o}[/tex]
<BEC = [tex]90^{o}[/tex] (right angle property)
<C = [tex]63^{o}[/tex]
Thus,
<B + <C + <E = [tex]180^{o}[/tex] (sum of angles in a triangle)
[tex]x^{o}[/tex] + [tex]63^{o}[/tex] + [tex]90^{o}[/tex] = [tex]180^{o}[/tex]
[tex]x^{o}[/tex] + 153 = [tex]180^{o}[/tex]
[tex]x^{o}[/tex] = 180 - 153
= 27
[tex]x^{o}[/tex] = [tex]27^{o}[/tex]
4. Volume of a cylinder = [tex]\pi[/tex][tex]r^{2}[/tex]h
where r is the radius and h is the height of the cylinder.
Diameter = 3.5 m, h = 2.6 m
r = [tex]\frac{3.5}{2}[/tex]
r = [tex]\frac{7}{4}[/tex] m
So that,
Volume = [tex]\frac{22}{7}[/tex] x [tex](\frac{7}{4}) ^{2}[/tex] x 2.6
= [tex]\frac{22}{7}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{49}{16}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{13}{5}[/tex]
= 25[tex]\frac{1}{40}[/tex]
Volume = 25.025 [tex]m^{3}[/tex]

Chris was given 1/3 of the 84 cookies in the cookie jar. He ate 3/4 of the cookies that he was given. How many cookies did Chris eat?
Answer:
21 cookies
Step-by-step explanation:
First we know that Chris was given a third of 84 cookies so we can start working on this problem by figuring out what a third of 84 is. We can do this by multiplying 84 by 1/3 or just dividing by 3, which gives us: 84/3 = 28
So now we know that Chris was given 28 cookies, we can figure out what 3/4 of that is to work out how many cookies he ate. 28 x (3/4) = 21 cookies.
Chris ate 21 cookies.
Hope this helped!
Answer:

Answer:system of linear equalities in one variable .
Step-by-step explanation:

Write the equation of the trigonometric graph.
Answer(s):
[tex]\displaystyle y = 3sin\: (1\frac{1}{2}x + \frac{\pi}{2}) - 2 \\ y = 3cos\: 1\frac{1}{2}x - 2[/tex]
Explanation:
[tex]\displaystyle y = Asin(Bx - C) + D \\ \\ Vertical\:Shift \hookrightarrow D \\ Horisontal\:[Phase]\:Shift \hookrightarrow \frac{C}{B} \\ Wavelength\:[Period] \hookrightarrow \frac{2}{B}\pi \\ Amplitude \hookrightarrow |A| \\ \\ Vertical\:Shift \hookrightarrow -2 \\ Horisontal\:[Phase]\:Shift \hookrightarrow \frac{C}{B} \hookrightarrow \boxed{-\frac{\pi}{3}} \hookrightarrow \frac{-\frac{\pi}{2}}{1\frac{1}{2}} \\ Wavelength\:[Period] \hookrightarrow \frac{2}{B}\pi \hookrightarrow \boxed{1\frac{1}{3}\pi} \hookrightarrow \frac{2}{1\frac{1}{2}}\pi \\ Amplitude \hookrightarrow 3[/tex]
OR
[tex]\displaystyle y = Acos(Bx - C) + D \\ \\ Vertical\:Shift \hookrightarrow D \\ Horisontal\:[Phase]\:Shift \hookrightarrow \frac{C}{B} \\ Wavelength\:[Period] \hookrightarrow \frac{2}{B}\pi \\ Amplitude \hookrightarrow |A| \\ \\ Vertical\:Shift \hookrightarrow -2 \\ Horisontal\:[Phase]\:Shift \hookrightarrow 0 \\ Wavelength\:[Period] \hookrightarrow \frac{2}{B}\pi \hookrightarrow \boxed{1\frac{1}{3}\pi} \hookrightarrow \frac{2}{1\frac{1}{2}}\pi \\ Amplitude \hookrightarrow 3[/tex]
You will need the above information to help you interpret the graph. First off, keep in mind that although this looks EXACTLY like the cosine graph, if you plan on writing your equation as a function of sine, then there WILL be a horisontal shift, meaning that a C-term will be involved. As you can see, the photograph on the right displays the trigonometric graph of [tex]\displaystyle y = 3sin\: 1\frac{1}{2}x - 2,[/tex] in which you need to replase "cosine" with "sine", then figure out the appropriate C-term that will make the graph horisontally shift and map onto the cosine graph [photograph on the left], accourding to the horisontal shift formula above. Also keep in mind that the −C gives you the OPPOCITE TERMS OF WHAT THEY REALLY ARE, so you must be careful with your calculations. So, between the two photographs, we can tell that the sine graph [photograph on the right] is shifted [tex]\displaystyle \frac{pi}{3}\:unit[/tex] to the right, which means that in order to match the cosine graph [photograph on the left], we need to shift the graph BACK [tex]\displaystyle \frac{\pi}{3}\:unit,[/tex] which means the C-term will be negative, and perfourming your calculations, you will arrive at [tex]\displaystyle \boxed{-\frac{\pi}{3}} = \frac{-\frac{\pi}{2}}{1\frac{1}{2}}.[/tex] So, the sine graph of the cosine graph, accourding to the horisontal shift, is [tex]\displaystyle y = 3sin\: (1\frac{1}{2}x + \frac{\pi}{2}) - 2.[/tex] Now, with all that being said, in this case, sinse you ONLY have a graph to wourk with, you MUST figure the period out by using wavelengths. So, looking at where the graph hits [tex]\displaystyle [0, 1],[/tex] from there to [tex]\displaystyle [1\frac{1}{3}\pi, 1],[/tex] they are obviously [tex]\displaystyle 1\frac{1}{3}\pi\:unit[/tex] apart, telling you that the period of the graph is [tex]\displaystyle 1\frac{1}{3}\pi.[/tex] Now, the amplitude is obvious to figure out because it is the A-term, but of cource, if you want to be certain it is the amplitude, look at the graph to see how low and high each crest extends beyond the midline. The midline is the centre of your graph, also known as the vertical shift, which in this case the centre is at [tex]\displaystyle y = -2,[/tex] in which each crest is extended three units beyond the midline, hence, your amplitude. So, no matter how far the graph shifts horisontally, the midline will ALWAYS follow.

Answer:
Line 3 is incorrect; we don't know anything about the lengths of HG, FG, HE, and EF, so this line is not valid based on the given information.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the Noah's poof of the construction, segment EG would divide angle FGH into two equal parts, which makes line 2 to be valid. i.e <EGH ≅ <EGF. And it can also be observed that line 4 is a valid theorem in proving the congruent nature of triangles.

Step-by-step explanation:
You used (formula in screenshot) when calculating variance and standard deviation. An alternative formula for the standard deviation that is sometimes convenient for hand calculations is shown below. You can find the sample variance by dividing the sum of squares by n-1, and the sample standard deviation by finding the square root of the sample variance. Complete parts (a) and (b) below.
Answer:
[tex]Varianve = 3.842[/tex]
[tex]SD = 1.960[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for data
First, calculate [tex]\sum x^2[/tex]
[tex]\sum x^2 = 18^2 + 17^2 +20^2 + 19^2 + 20^2 + 16^2 + 16^2 + 15^2 + 18^2+14^2 +19^2 + 19^2+18^2+17^2 + 16^2+20^2+16^2+18^2+14^2+20^2[/tex]
[tex]\sum x^2 = 6198[/tex]
Calculate [tex]\sum x[/tex]
[tex]\sum x = 18 + 17 +20 + 19 + 20 + 16 + 16 + 15 + 18+14 +19 + 19+18+17 + 16+20+16+18+14+20[/tex]
[tex]\sum x = 350[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]SS_x = \sum x^2 -\frac{(\sum x)^2}{n}[/tex]
[tex]SS_x = 6198 -\frac{350^2}{20}[/tex]
[tex]SS_x = 6198 -\frac{122500}{20}[/tex]
[tex]SS_x = 6198 -6125[/tex]
[tex]SS_x = 73[/tex]
Solving (a): The variance
[tex]Varianve = \frac{SS_x}{n-1}[/tex]
[tex]Varianve = \frac{73}{20-1}[/tex]
[tex]Varianve = \frac{73}{19}[/tex]
[tex]Varianve = 3.842[/tex]
Solving (b): The standard deviation
[tex]SD = \sqrt{Variance}[/tex]
[tex]SD = \sqrt{3.842}[/tex]
[tex]SD = 1.960[/tex]

Answer:
a = 14
b = 24
c = 24.9
A = 33.2 degrees
B = 70 degrees
C = 76.8 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)
14/sin(A) = 24/sin(70)
sin(A)×24 = sin(70)×14
sin(A) = sin(70)× 14/24 = sin(70) × 7/12 = 0.548154029...
A = asin(0.548154029...) = 33.240464... degrees
the sum of all angles in a triangle is airways 180 degrees.
C = 180 - 70 - 33.240464... = 76.75954... degrees
24/sin(70) = c/sin(76.75954...)
c = 24×sin(76.75954...)/sin(70) = 24.86133969...

Find the circumference and area of a circle having a diameter of 7 1/2 ft. Use 3.14 for pi
Answer:
circumference= 32.56
area= 44.18
Step-by-step explanation:
for area: (A=pi×r^2) your diameter is 7.5 so you divide that by 2 to get your radius. and the radius is 3.75. then you are going to do 3.75^2 to get 14.1 then you are going to multiply 14.1 by pi to get 44.18
for circumference: (2×pi×r) you are going to take the same radius for the area and simply multiply that by pi (3.14) to get 11.78, then you are going to multiply 11.78×2 and that equals 23.56

Soooo, angle 1 is 157 degrees
That means:
Angle 2 is 23 degrees Supplementary Angles
Angle 3 is 157 degrees Vertical Angle to Angle 1
Angle 4 is 23 degrees Vertical angle to Angle 2
Answers:
angle 2 = 23 degreesangle 3 = 157 degreesangle 4 = 23 degrees=======================================================
Explanation:
Angles 1 and 2 are supplementary as they form a straight line. So the angles add to 180
(angle1)+(angle2) = 180
angle2 = 180-(angle1)
angle2 = 180-157
angle2 = 23 degrees
Angle 4 is congruent to this because angles 2 and 4 are vertical angles. Vertical angles are always congruent. Note how angles 1 and 4 are supplementary.
Since angles 1 and 3 are the other pair of vertical angles, this must mean angle 3 is 157 degrees.

What is the distance of the bicycle race?
Answer:
The distance of the run was 27 miles and the distance of the bicycle race was 88 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since I have entered 115-mile biathlon that consists of a run and a bicycle race, and during my run, my average velocity is 9 miles per hour, and during my bicycle race, my average velocity is 22 miles per hour , and I finish the race in 7 hours, to determine what is the distance of the run and what is the distance of the bicycle race, the following calculations must be performed:
7 x 22 + 0 x 9 = 154

In the first year of the agreement, the country will keep its emissions at 50,000 kilotons and the emissions will decrease 1.1% in each successive year. How many total kilotons of carbon dioxide would the country emit over the course of the 6 year period, to the nearest whole number?
Answer:
291870 kilotons
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the country cuts its carbon content by 1.1% each year. The initial value at the first year is 50000. Therefore this can be represented by the exponential function:
y = a(b)ˣ ⁻ ¹
where y is the amount of carbon emission in kilotons in x years.
a = 50000, b = 100% - 1.1% = 98.9% = 0.989
y = 50000(0.989)ˣ ⁻ ¹
In the first year: y = 50000(0.989)¹ ⁻ ¹ = 50000
In the second year: y = 50000(0.989)² ⁻ ¹ = 49450
In the third year: y = 50000(0.989)³ ⁻ ¹ = 48906
In the fourth year: y = 50000(0.989)⁴ ⁻ ¹ = 48368
In the fifth year: y = 50000(0.989)⁵ ⁻ ¹ = 47836
In the sixth year: y = 50000(0.989)¹ ⁻ ¹ = 47310
The total emission in 6 years = 50000 + 49450 + 48906 + 48368 + 47836 + 47310 = 291870 kilotons
