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 circle has a center located at 2 5 and passes through the point 10 3 answer
nikklg [1K]

Answer:Explanation: The formula for the equation of a circle is (x – h)2+ (y – k)2 = r2, where (h, k) represents the coordinates of the center of the circle, and r represents the radius of the circle. If a circle is tangent to the x-axis at (3,0), this means it touches the x-axis at that point.

Michael has a sink that is shaped like a half-sphere. The sink has a volume of 3000 3 in3. One day, his sink is clogged. He has
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Part a) 42\ cups

Part b) 15\ cups

Step-by-step explanation:we know that

The volume of the sink (half sphere) is equal to

V=3,000\pi \ in^{3}

Part a) One cup has a diameter of 6 in. and a height of 8 in. How many cups of water must Michael scoop out of the sink with this cup to empty it?

The volume of the cylinder is equal to

V=\pi r^{2}h

we have

r=6/2=3\ in ----> the radius is half the diameter

h=8\ in

substitute the values

V=\pi (3)^{2}(8)=72\pi\ in^{3}

To find the number of cups divide the total volume of the sink by the volume of the cylinder

\frac{3,000\pi}{72\pi} =41.67\ cups

Round to the nearest whole number

41.67=42\ cups

Part b) One cup has a diameter of 10 in. and a height of 8 in. How many cups of water must Michael scoop out of the sink with this cup to empty it?

The volume of the cylinder is equal to

V=\pi r^{2}h

we have

r=10/2=5\ in ----> the radius is half the diameter

h=8\ in

substitute the values

V=\pi (5)^{2}(8)=200\pi\ in^{3}

To find the number of cups divide the total volume of the sink by the volume of the cylinder

\frac{3,000\pi}{200\pi} =15\ cups

The collection of all possible outcomes of a random phenomenon is called A. the sample space. B. the distribution. C. the probab
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

Sample space is the collection of all possible outcomes of a random phenomenon.

Step-by-step explanation:

- Sample Space

The sample space of a phenomenon is the set of all possible outcomes for that phenomenon.

- Distribution

The distribution of a statistical data set is defined as a listing or function showing all the possible values (or intervals) of the data and how often they occur.

- Probability

Probability describes how likely something is to happen. Probability values are usually between 0 and 1; with 0 denoting impossibility and 1 denoting total certainty.

- Census

Census is an official count or survey of a population

prisoha [69]

Answer:

$10.2925, Rounded up: 10.30

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you find what 15% is in a decimal. so you do 15 x 100 to get 0.15

Then you multiply that by 8.95 to get 1.3425

Finally, you add up the numbers and get 10.30 as a rounded answer :D
