6 0

Answer:

1 or 100%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of rolling less than 7 is equal to the probability of rolling 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6. That is 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 6/6. So any number from the dice can come up when you roll it because a perfect dice has 6 sides.

Pyramid A is a square pyramid with a base side length of 18 inches and a height of 9 inches. Pyramid B has a volume of 3,136 cub

seraphim [82]

Answer:

322.63%

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of square pyramid = 1/3a²h

a = base side length ; h = height

Volume of pyramid A :

a = 18 ; h = 9

V = 1/3*18²*9

V = 18² * 3

V = 972 in³

Volume of pyramid B = 3136 in³

Volume of pyramid B / Volume of pyramid A

(3136 / 972) * 100% = 322.63%

The temperature rose by 11 degrees Fahrenheit today. Write a signed number to represent this temperature change

Anestetic [448]

The rise in temperature by 11 degrees Fahrenheit can be represented by the temperature change, ΔT = +11 °F. The temperature change is positive because the temperature increased as stated in the question. Moreover, the formula for temperature change is: ΔT = T_final - T_initial. This means that for this case, the final temperature is higher than the initial temperature.

Lucia has 3.5 hours left in her workday as a car mechanic. Lucia needs 1/2 of an hour to complete one oil change.

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: So Lucía has 3.5 hours left, and need 1/2 of an hour (or 0.5 hours) to do one oil change.

a) If you divide the total time she has by the time she needs for each oil change, then you got the total number of oil changes that she can do in that time; this is:

3.5/0.5 = 7

So she can do 7 oil changes in 3.5 hours.

b) If she can complete two car inspections in the same amount of time it takes her to complete one oil change, then she can do two car inspections in 0.5 hours.

2*car inspections = 0.5 hours

car inspection = (0.5/2) hours

then one car inspection will take 0.5/2 = 0.25 hours.

c) Two ways to solve this:

1) Do the same that we did in a), this is: 3.5/0.25 = 14

she can do 14 car inspections.

2) If in 3.5 hours, she can do 7 oil changes, and in the time she does an oil change, she can do two car inspections, then in 3.5 hours she can do 7*2 car inspections, and 7*2 = 14

Factor completely x^8- 16.

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So in this example we'll be using the difference of squares which essentially states that: $(a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2$ or another way to think of it would be: $a-b=(\sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b})(\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b})$ . So in this example you'll notice both terms are perfect squares. in fact x^n is a perfect square as long as n is even. This is because if it's even it can be split into two groups evenly for example, in this case we have x^8. so the square root is x^4 because you can split this up into (x * x * x * x) * (x * x * x * x) = x^8. Two groups with equal value multiplying to get x^8, that's what the square root is. So using these we can rewrite the equation as:

$x^8-16 = (x^4-4)(x^4+4)$

Now in this case you'll notice the degree is still even (it's 4) and the 4 is also a perfect square, and it's a difference of squares in one of the factors, so it can further be rewritten:

$x^4-4 = (x^2-2)(x^2+2)$

So completely factored form is: $(x^2-2)(x^2+4)(x^4+4)$

I'm assuming that's considered completely factored but you can technically factor it further. While the identity difference of squares technically only applies to difference of squares, it can also be used on the sum of squares, but you need to use imaginary numbers. Because $x^2+4 = x^2-(-4)$ . and in this case a=x^2 and b=-4. So rewriting it as the difference of squares becomes: $x^4+4 = x^4 - (-4) = (x^2-\sqrt{-4})(x^2+\sqrt{-4}) = (x^2-2i)(x^2+2i)$ just something that might be useful in some cases.
