Answer:
1.778 times more or 16/9 times more
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- Mirror 1: D_1 = 8''
- Mirror 2: D_2 = 6"
Find:
Compare the light gathering power of an 8" primary mirror with a 6" primary mirror. The 8" mirror has how much light gathering power?
Solution:
- The light gathering power of a mirror (LGP) is proportional to the Area of the objects:
LGP ∝ A
- Whereas, Area is proportional to the squared of the diameter i.e an area of a circle:
A ∝ D^2
- Hence, LGP ∝ D^2
- Now compare the two diameters given:
LGP_1 ∝ (D_1)^2
LGP ∝ (D_2)^2
- Take a ratio of both:
LGP_1/LGP_2 ∝ (D_1)^2 / (D_2)^2
- Plug in the values:
LGP_1/LGP_2 ∝ (8)^2 / (6)^2
- Compute: LGP_1/LGP_2 ∝ 16/9 ≅ 1.778 times more
The probability of any event is between 0 and 1. 0 means impossible and 1 means certain.
It could also be written with the percents: 0% and 100%.
Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
x-5=5x-13
5x-x=-5+13
4x=8
x=8/4
x=2
Answer:
Microscopes cost $44 and Dissection Kits cost $11
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the information given, we can make the system of equations:
30x+48y=1848
x represents the price of microscopes and y represents the price of dissection kits.
We also know that microscopes will be 4x the price of dissection kits. Therefor:
x=4y
We can plug these two equations together to find the answer.
30(4y)+48y=1848
120y+48y=1848
168y=1848
y=11
Using the y-value, can find the x-value.
x=4(11)
x=44
Answer:
1. <B, <A, <C
2. <E, <D, <F
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall: the longest side of a triangle would be opposite the largest angle, while the shortest side of a triangle would be opposite the smallest angle.
1. <B is opposite the shortest side, 3 (smallest angle)
<A is opposite the medium side, 4 (medium angle)
<C is opposite to the largest side, 5 (largest angle)
Therefore, the angles in ascending order would be:
<B, <A, <C
2. <E is opposite the shortest side, 5 (smallest angle)
<D is opposite the medium side, 6 (medium angle)
<F is opposite to the largest side, 7 (largest angle)
Therefore, the angles in ascending order would be:
<E, <D, <F
