Why shouldn't you use double negatives? It's a riddle for my Math Class

A negative times a negative is a positive. I am not sure if that's the question, but hopefully that helps if it was.

Because if something is a double negative, than the result of it would be a positive. So, it is kind of like this...

-1 x -1 = --1

-1 x -1 = 1

So, --1 = 1.

Hope this helps!!!

A rectangular tank has length 4m, width 12m and height 3.5..i. If the tank is filled with water 2/3 of its capacity ,calculate t
ipn [44]

Answer:

The volume of the water in the tank is 112 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the rectangular prism V = L × W × H, where

  • L is its length
  • W is its width
  • H is its height

∵ A rectangular tank has a length of 4 m, a width of 12 m, and

   a height of 3.5 m

∴ L = 4 m

∴ W = 12 m

∴ H = 3.5 m

∵ V = L × W × H

∴ The volume of the tank = 4 × 12 × 3.5

∴ The volume of the tank = 168 m³

∵ The tank is filled with water  \frac{2}{3} of its capacity

→ That means the volume of the water is  \frac{2}{3}  the volume of the tank

∵ The volume of the water = \frac{2}{3} the volume of the tank

∴ The volume of the water =  \frac{2}{3} × 168

∴ The volume of the water = 112 m³

∴ The volume of the water in the tank is 112 m³

Ulleksa [173]
The factors of 40 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, and 40. So therefore, the numbers would be 2 and 4.

igomit [66]

Answer:

Mean = 1.57

Variance=0.31

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the mean and the variance of the number of successful surgeries (X), we first have to enumerate the possible outcomes:

1) Both surgeries are successful (X=2).

P(e_1)=0.90*0.67=0.603

2) Left knee unsuccessful and right knee successful (X=1).

P(e_2)=(1-0.9)*0.67=0.1*0.67=0.067

3) Right knee unsuccessful and left knee successful (X=1).

P(e_3)=0.90*(1-0.67)=0.9*0.33=0.297

4) Both surgeries are unsuccessful (X=0).

P(e_4)=(1-0.90)*(1-0.67)=0.1*0.33=0.033

Then, the mean can be calculated as the expected value:

M=\sum p_iX_i=0.603*2+0.067*1+0.297*1+0.033*0\\\\M=1.206+0.067+0.297+0\\\\M=1.57

The variance can be calculated as:

V=\sum p_i(X_i-\bar{X})^2\\\\V=0.603(2-1.57)^2+(0.067+0.297)*(1-1.57)^2+0.033*(0-1.57)^2\\\\V=0.603*0.1849+0.364*0.3249+0.033*2.4649\\\\V=0.1115+0.1183+0.0813\\\\V=0.3111
