A baseball is hit inside a baseball diamond with a length and width of 90 feet each. What is the probability that the ball will

bounce on the pitchers mound, if the diameter of the mound is 18 feet? Assume that the ball is equally likely to bounce anywhere in the infield. When applicable, leave your answer in terms of pie and include all necessary calculations.

90(squared) + 90 (squared) = C (squared)
(we use 90 because the base path is 90 ft long since the diamond is a square that makes all sides 90 ft long)
8100 + 8100 = c(squared)
16200 = c(squared)
we will get the square root of 16200 to get the diagonal length
C=127.3 ft, and since it is the diagonal distance we will device it to 2, to get the distance from the pitcher ro the 2nd base.
127.3/2 = 67.7 ft.
67.7 ft is the distance from the pitcher<span> to the 2nd base.</span>

Answer:

\frac{\pi }{100}

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to notice is that the diamond is just a square rotated 45 degrees square, with 90 feet sides, so the total area of the diamond is:

A(square)= l x l = 90 ft * 90 ft = 8100 ft^{2}

We also need to calculate the area of the mound, assuming it being a circle:

A(circle)= \pi * r^{2}  And r=diameter/2= 18 ft/2 = 9 ft

A(circle) =  \pi * (9 ft)^{2} = 81\pi ft^{2}

Now since the ball has an equal chance of bouncing anywhere in the field, the probability would be the ratio of the area occupied by the mound inside of the diamond.

P= \frac{81\pi ft^{2}}{8100 ft^{2}}=\frac{\pi }{100}

how large is the acceleration of a 60 kg runner if the friction between her shoes and the pavement is 500 n?
melomori [17]

The force of friction is given in the scenario:

Force = 500 Newton

and the mass of the runner  is 60 kg

To find the acceleration we need to use the relation between force, mass, and the acceleration of the object:

F=m\times a

Where 'F' represents the force, 'm' represents the mass, and 'a' represents the acceleration.

Plugging the value of variables we get:

500=60\times a

Solving for 'a' (acceleration) we get:

a= \frac{500}{60} =8.33 Newton/kilogram or meters/ second squared

So the acceleration of the runner is 8.33 meters/ second squared.

Simplify 6 to the 5th power over 7 to the 3rd power times 2
Anon25 [30]
My answer -

<span>1. Use symbols (not words) to express quotient
 

2. Use exponent symbol (^) to denote exponents

3. Just write out question number, question, and choices. No need for extra information (such as points). Also, don't leave blank lines between choices. This extraneous that we don't need just makes your whole question very very long, and means a lot of scrolling on our part.
 

4. You should only post 2 or 3 questions at a time.


1) (6x^3 − 18x^2 − 12x) / (−6x) = −x^2 + 3x + 2 ----> so much simpler to read !

2) (d^7 g^13) / (d^2 g^7) = d^(7−2) g^(13−7) = d^5 g^6 ----> much easier to read !

3) (4x − 6)^2 = 16x^2 − 24x − 24x + 36 = 16x^2 − 48x + 36

4) (x^2 / y^5)^4 = (x^2)^4 / (y^5)^4 = x^8 / y^20

5) (3x + 5y)(4x − 3y) = 12x^2 − 9xy + 20xy − 15y^2 = 12x^2 + 11xy − 15y^2

6) (3x^3y^4z^4)(2x^3y^4z^2) = (3*2) x^(3+3) y^(4+4) z^(4+2) = 6 x^6 y^8 z^6

7) 5x + 3x^4 − 7x^3 ----> Fourth degree trinomial

8) (5x^3 − 5x − 8) + (2x^3 + 4x + 2) = 7x^3 − x − 6

9) (x − 1) + (2x + 5) − (x + 3) = x + 1

10) (−4g^8h^5k^2)0(hk^2)^2 = 0 (anything multiplied by 0 = 0)
or.. (−4g^8h^5k^2)^0(hk^2)^2 = 1 (h^2 (k^2)^2) = h^2 k^4

Last question shows why it is so important to use proper symbols (such as ^ to indicate exponents). Without such symbols, I could not tell if the 0 was an actual number and part of multiplication, of if 0 was an exponent of the expression preceding it.


P.S

Glad to help you have an AWESOME!!! day :)

Evaluate each function.<br> 1) f(x) = x2 + 4x; Find f(-7)
katrin [286]

Answer:

The answer is -77

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so assuming by x2 you mean x squared, I will solve this. So basically when you have a function, f(-7) would mean that you would have to replace all the x's in the equation with -7. So let's write that out. that would be f(-7) = -7^2 + (-7*4). So now according to PEMDAS, you would solve the exponent first, and -7^2 is equal to -49, because when you solve it you would do -(7^2), which is -(49), which is then -49. So now you have f(-7)= -49+ (4*-7). Solving for (4*-7), you get -28. This leaves you with -49 + (-28), which is -49 - 28. Simplifying that, you get the answer, which is -77.
