Answer:

the container is 1/4 full at 9:58 AM

Step-by-step explanation:

since the volume doubles every minute , the formula for calculating the volume V at any time t is

V(t)=V₀*2^-t , where t is in minutes back from 10 AM and V₀= container volume

thus for t=1 min (9:59 AM) the volume is V₁=V₀/2 (half of the initial one) , for t=2 (9:58 AM) is V₂=V₁/2=V₀/4  ...

therefore when the container is 1/4 full the volume is V=V₀/4 , thus replacing in the equation we obtain

V=V₀*2^-t

V₀/4 = V₀*2^-t

1/4 = 2^-t

appling logarithms

ln (1/4) = -t* ln 2

t = - ln (1/4)/ln 2 = ln 4 /ln 2 = 2*ln 2 / ln 2 = 2

thus t=2 min before 10 AM → 9:58 AM

therefore the container is 1/4 full at 9:58 AM

A fair die is rolled in a board game to determine how many spaces a player can move on their turn. It has one of the numbers 1,2
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

(a)6 (b)3 (c)0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a fair die with the numbers 1,2,3,4,5, or 6 on each of its faces.

  • Event A is the event of rolling an even number
  • Event B is the event of rolling an odd number.

(a)The sample space for the outcomes in this experiment is {1,2,3,4,5,6}

There are <u>6</u><u> </u>outcomes in the sample space.

n(S)=6

(b)

Event A is the event of rolling an even number

Sample space of A = {2,4,6}

There are <u>3</u> outcomes in event A.

n(A)=3

(c)The probability of event A

P(A)=\dfrac{n(A)}{n(S)} =\dfrac{3}{6} =0.5

P(A) =<u>0.5</u> is the probability that you choose an even number.

Solve for x, worth 10 points
Anton [14]

Answer: x=22

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the angles are corresponding angles, use x+14=5x-74. You get 36=36 meaning it is right when you substitute the value for x.

x+14=5x-74

-x on both sides

14=4x-74

+74 on both sides

88=4x

Divide both sides by 4

x=22
