Records at an insurance company showed that the first 30 customers made an average of 5 claims each through their lifetime. Afte

r the records of a further 75 customers had been assessed, the average claim rose to 6 per customer. What is the average number of claims by the last 75 customers only?

The average of the 75 customers will be 6.4.

<h3>How to calculate the value?</h3>

The first 30 customers made an average of 5 claims each. The total claims will be:

= (5 × 30) = 150

When 75 more people were assessed, the average was 6. Therefore, the total claims will be:

= (75 + 30) × 6

= 105 × 6

= 630

Therefore, the average of the 75 customers will be:

= (630 - 150)/75

= 480/75

= 6.4

What is the surface area of a cylinder with a base radius of 3 ft and a height of 5ft

Solnce55 [7]

SA of a cylinder: 2 $\pi$ r² + 2 $\pi$ rh
r = radius of base
h = height of cylinder

Plug in 3 for r and 5 for h in the formula.
2 $\pi$ 3² + 2 $\pi$ (3)(5)
Use a calculator to solve.

2 $\pi$ 3² + 2 $\pi$ (3)(5) = 150.8 ft²

Use a proof by contradiction to show that the square root of 3 is national You may use the following fact: For any integer kirke

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

1. Let us proof that √3 is an irrational number, using <em>reductio ad absurdum</em>. Assume that $\sqrt{3}=\frac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are non negative integers, and the fraction $\frac{m}{n}$ is irreducible, i.e., the numbers $m$ and $n$ have no common factors.

Now, squaring the equality at the beginning we get that

$3=\frac{m^2}{n^2}$ (1)

which is equivalent to $3n^2=m^2$ . From this we can deduce that 3 divides the number $m^2$ , and necessarily 3 must divide $m$ . Thus, $m=3p$ , where $p$ is a non negative integer.

Substituting $m=3p$ into (1), we get

$3= \frac{9p^2}{n^2}$

which is equivalent to

$n^2=3p^2$ .

Thus, 3 divides $n^2$ and necessarily 3 must divide $n$ . Hence, $n=3q$ where $q$ is a non negative integer.

Notice that

$\frac{m}{n} = \frac{3p}{3q} = \frac{p}{q}$ .

The above equality means that the fraction $\frac{m}{n}$ is reducible, what contradicts our initial assumption. So, $\sqrt{3}$ is irrational.

2. Let us prove now that the multiplication of an integer and a rational number is a rational number. So, $r\in\mathbb{Q}$ , which is equivalent to say that $r=\frac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are non negative integers. Also, assume that $k\in\mathbb{Z}$ . So, we want to prove that $k\cdot r\in\mathbb{Z}$ . Recall that an integer $k$ can be written as

$k=\frac{k}{1}$ .

Then,

$k\cdot r = \frac{k}{1}\frac{m}{n} = \frac{mk}{n}$ .

Notice that the product $mk$ is an integer. Thus, the fraction $\frac{mk}{n}$ is a rational number. Therefore, $k\cdot r\in\mathbb{Q}$ .

3. Let us prove by <em>reductio ad absurdum</em> that the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is an irrational number. So, we have $x$ is irrational and $p\in\mathbb{Q}$ .

Write $q=x+p$ and let us suppose that $q$ is a rational number. So, we get that

$x=q-p$ .

But the subtraction or addition of two rational numbers is rational too. Then, the number $x$ must be rational too, which is a clear contradiction with our hypothesis. Therefore, $x+p$ is irrational.

I need some help with this question. If someone would explain this to me that would be really helpful!

A. counter clockwise is to the left.
the box with commas is what happens after the movement.
turn your head to the left and imagine e the same image in your head. if it matches up, then it should be in the same area if you rotate it.

I really need help please!

miskamm [114]

Simple...

you have: $\frac{ 3^{-4}* 2^{3}* 3^{2} }{ 2^{4}* 3^{-3} }$

Multiply it out-->>

$\frac{8}{9}$ ÷ $\frac{16}{27}$

= $\frac{3}{2}$ (A)

Thus, your answer.
