<h3>Answer: 17 cards</h3>

================================================

Explanation:

The best case scenario is that you pull 5 cards from the same suit in a row (eg: 5 spades in a row). However, we have to plan for the worst case scenario that way we can guarantee to have 5 cards in one suit without having to look at the cards.

The worst case scenario is that you pull cards such that you get one suit at a time (eg: spade, heart, club, diamond). On the 5th draw, we finally get a card that repeats a suit.

If we repeat the sequence {spade, heart, club, diamond} in that order a total of two times, then we'll have 8 cards with 2 cards per suit.

Doing that sequence four times we'll have 4*4 = 16 cards and 4 cards per suit. That 17th card will repeat a suit a fifth time and this is when we'll be guaranteed to have at least 5 cards of one suit.

A norman window is constructed by adjoining a semicircle to the top of an ordinary rectangular. Find the dimensions of a norman

Yanka [14]

Answer:

$W\approx 8.72$ and $L\approx 15.57$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

We have been given that a norman window is constructed by adjoining a semicircle to the top of an ordinary rectangular. The total perimeter is 38 feet.

The perimeter of the window will be equal to three sides of rectangle plus half the perimeter of circle. We can represent our given information in an equation as:

$2L+W+\frac{1}{2}(2\pi r)=38$

We can see that diameter of semicircle is W. We know that diameter is twice the radius, so we will get:

$2L+W+\frac{1}{2}(2r\pi)=38$

$2L+W+\frac{\pi}{2}W=38$

Let us find area of window equation as:

$\text{Area}=W\cdot L+\frac{1}{2}(\pi r^2)$

$\text{Area}=W\cdot L+\frac{1}{2}(\pi (\frac{W}{2})^2)$

$\text{Area}=W\cdot L+\frac{\pi}{2}(\frac{W}{2})^2)$

$\text{Area}=W\cdot L+\frac{\pi}{2}(\frac{W^2}{4})$

$\text{Area}=W\cdot L+\frac{\pi}{8}W^2$

Now, we will solve for L is terms W from perimeter equation as:

$L=38-(W+\frac{\pi }{2}W)$

Substitute this value in area equation:

$A=W\cdot (38-W-\frac{\pi }{2}W)+\frac{\pi}{8}W^2$

Since we need the area of window to maximize, so we need to optimize area equation.

$A=W\cdot (38-W-\frac{\pi }{2}W)+\frac{\pi}{8}W^2$

$A=38W-W^2-\frac{\pi }{2}W^2+\frac{\pi}{8}W^2$

Let us find derivative of area equation as:

$A'=38-2W-\frac{2\pi }{2}W+\frac{2\pi}{8}W$

$A'=38-2W-\pi W+\frac{\pi}{4}W$

$A'=38-2W-\frac{4\pi W}{4}+\frac{\pi}{4}W$

$A'=38-2W-\frac{3\pi W}{4}$

To find maxima, we will equate first derivative equal to 0 as:

$38-2W-\frac{3\pi W}{4}=0$

$-2W-\frac{3\pi W}{4}=-38$

$\frac{-8W-3\pi W}{4}=-38$

$\frac{-8W-3\pi W}{4}*4=-38*4$

$-8W-3\pi W=-152$

$8W+3\pi W=152$

$W(8+3\pi)=152$

$W=\frac{152}{8+3\pi}$

$W=8.723210$

$W\approx 8.72$

Upon substituting $W=8.723210$ in equation $L=38-(W+\frac{\pi }{2}W)$ , we will get:

$L=38-(8.723210+\frac{\pi }{2}8.723210)$

$L=38-(8.723210+\frac{8.723210\pi }{2})$

$L=38-(8.723210+\frac{27.40477245}{2})$

$L=38-(8.723210+13.70238622)$

$L=38-(22.42559622)$

$L=15.57440378$

$L\approx 15.57$

Therefore, the dimensions of the window that will maximize the area would be $W\approx 8.72$ and $L\approx 15.57$ .

navik [9.2K]

Picture related to the question is attached below

Answer:

Kendra should have divided by 2 instead of multiplying by 2

Step-by-step explanation:

40 percent = percentage who plan to attend

100% = total percentage of student

From the question ;

When reducing percentages, division is employed and this the equation should be :

40/2 ÷ 100/2

40/2 * 2/100

20 * 1/50

20/50

= 0.4

0.4 * 50

= 20 students
