(a) Suppose you have 9 gold coins that look identical, but you also know one (and only one) of them is counterfeit. The counterf
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You can split the coins into 3 groups, each of them has 3 coins. Weigh group 1 vs group 2, if one is lighter, that group has the fake coin. If both groups weigh the same, then group 3 has the fake coin.

Continue to split the group that has the fake coin into 3 groups, each group has 1 coin. Now apply the same procedure and we can identify the fake coin.

Total of scale usage is 2

b) if you have 3^n coins then you can apply the same approach and find the fake coin with just n steps. By splitting up to 3 groups each step, after each step you should be able to narrow down your suspected coin by 3 times.

Step 1: you narrow down to group of \frac{3^n}{3} = 3^{n-1} coins

Step 2: you narrow down to group of \frac{3^{n-1}}{3} = 3^{n-2} coins

Step 3: you narrow down to group of \frac{3^{n-2}}{3} = 3^{n-3} coins

...

Step n: Step 1: you narrow down to group of 3^{n-n} = 3^0 = 1coin

Find the distance between M(-1,-10) and P(-12,-3) * Round to the nearest tenth.
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

13.0 units

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between two points, we use the formula

d = sqrt( (y2-y1)^2+ (x2-x1)^2)

   sqrt((-3--10)^2 + (-12--1)^2)

   sqrt( (-3+10)^2 + (-12+1)^2)

   sqrt( (7^2  + (-11)^2)

  sqrt( 49+121)

  sqrt( 170)

13.038

Rounding to the nearest tenth

Arby’s sells brisket last year there was drought and farmers were able to raise fewer cows is this a change in supply or demand
kiruha [24]

This is a change in both supply and demand. Due to farmers raising fewer cows the supply of cows goes down. Because there is more of a need of cows due to the shortage the demand or need for them goes up. Due to the limited amount of cows and the high demand prices will go up.
