Answer:

See explanation below: either 0.984 cm or 0.85 cm depending on the complete question.

Explanation:

The question is incomplete and, thus, ambiguos.

There are two plausible interpretations: either each side of the prism has a leght of 4.92 cm, or the the units of the given measured is not cm but cm³ and 4.92 is the volume of the prism.

Considering the first option:

The best side length is the first decimal number that divides exactly 4.92cm

That is 4.92/5 = 0.984 cm

Considering the second option

The correct question would be "If you fill a 4.92 cm³ prism with cubes who’s sides lengths are less than 1 cm what size would be the best"

The best size of the sides lentgths is one that occupies the greatest part of each length.

Assume the prism is a cube. Then, the legth of each side is:

$\sqrt[3]{4.92}=1.70$

The greatest decimal number that divides 1.70 exactly is:

1.70cm/2 = 0.85cm

Which equation has the steepest parabola?

ICE Princess25 [194]

Given:

The equations of parabolas in the options.

To find:

The steepest parabola.

Solution:

We know that, if a parabola is defined as

$(y-k)=n(x-h)^2$

Then, the greater absolute value of n, the steeper the parabola.

It can be written as

$\dfrac{1}{n}(y-k)=(x-h)^2$

$p(y-k)=(x-h)^2$

where $p=\dfrac{1}{n}$ , the smaller absolute value of p, the steeper the parabola.

Now, find the value of |p| for eac equation

For option A, $|-0.5|=0.5$

For option B, $|5|=5$

For option C, $|8|=8$

For option D, $|-10|=10$

Since, the equation is option A has smallest value of |p|, therefore, the equation $(x+2)^2=-0.5(y+3)$ represents the steepest parabola.

Hence, the correct option is A.

Jade buys 38 mint boxes. He shares them equally with friends, and they all get 19 boxes. How many friends is Jade sharing with i

Misha Larkins [42]

Lets look at the information we have:-

38 mint boxes together
19 per person including Jade.

To answer this lets divide 38 by 19 and d answer will be d amount of friends he has including himself.

38 ÷ 19 = 2
2 friends including Jade.

CHECK OUR WORK:-

19 + 19 = 38
We were RIGHT!!!

So, Jade shared his mints with 1 of his friends, and including himself they were 2 people who got 19 mint boxes each.

Hope I helped ya!!

Find the general solution to the differential equation modeling how a person learns:

Luda [366]

Here we want to solve differential equations, we will see that the general solution is:

$y = A*e^{-t} + 100$

We want to solve the differential equation:

$\frac{dy}{dt} = 100 - y$

From this is pretty clear that y is an exponential function, with an exponent of -1*t.

We can write it generally as:

$y = A*e^{-t} + B\\\\\frac{dy}{dt} = -A*e^{-t}$

Then if we set B = 100 we get:

$y = A*e^{-t} + 100\\\\\frac{dy}{dt} = -A*e^{-t} \\\\\frac{dy}{dt} = -A*e^{-t} - 100 + 100 = -y + 100$

So we just found the general form of the function.

Now we have two cases:

A) y(0) = 35

$y(0) = A*e^{-0} + 100 = 35\\= A + 100 = 35\\\\A = 35 - 100 = -65$

In this case, the function is:

$y = -65*e^{-t} + 100$

B) y(0) = 125

$125 = A*e^0 + 100\\\\\125 - 100 = A\\\\25 = A$

In this case, the function is:

$y = 25*e^{-t} + 100$

Now we want to see which one of the two can represent how a person learns. Just look at the graph below:

The green line is the one for y(0) = 35, and the blue one is for y(0) = 125.

Notice that for small values of t, the blue function is really large, thus it can't really model how a person learns (is larger for smaller values of t than for larger values).

So y(0) = 35 represents better how a person can learn (but not exactly, because you can see that it eventually becomes almost constant, which is something that really does not happen) so the correct option is D: none of the above.
