Let current age be x, next we construct the inequalities for the age:
<span>Four-fifths of my current age is greater than three-quarters of my age one year from now.
</span>thus when we add 1 year to 3/4 of our current age and set the inequality
4x/5>3x/4+1......i

<span>Four-fifths of my current age is also greater than five-sixths of my age one year ago.
Thus when we subtract 1 from 5x/6 and set the inequality we get
4x/5>5x/6-1.......ii
solving the inequalities we obtain:
</span>4x/5>3x/4+1
x/20>1
hence multiplying both sides by 20 we obtain:
x>20

also

4x/5>5x/6-1
4x/5-5x/5>-1
-x/30>-1
multiplying both sides by 30 we get:
-x>-30
thus
x<30
therefore the possible values of my age will lie in the interval:
20<x<30
Thus our age is in the interval
(20,30)

Answer:

  8.284 × 10^4 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area is the product of length and width:

  (5.45·10^5 m)·(0.152 m) = 0.8284·10^5 m^2 = 8.284·10^4 m^2

denpristay [2]

Step-by-step explanation:

p = 0.1, q = 0.9, n = 7

a) Use complementary probability.

P(at least 1) = 1 − P(0)

P(at least 1) = 1 − (0.9)⁷

P(at least 1) = 0.522

b) Use binomial probability.

P = nCr pʳ qⁿ⁻ʳ

P(3) = ₇C₃ (0.1)³ (0.9)⁴

P(3) = 0.023

Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the given point. Enter your answer in s
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

y = -0.2x - 5.8

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line is given in the form y = mx + b, the "m" is the slope.

For the line given y = 5x, the slope is 5

The line that is perpendicular to this will have slope that is "negative reciprocal of that".

So, the perpendicular line will have slope of  -\frac{1}{5}

So, the Perpendicular Line will have equation:

y = -1/5x + b

Let's find b by replacing x with 6 and y with -7 [the point given]. So we have:

y=-\frac{1}{5}x+b\\-7=-\frac{1}{5}(6)+b\\-7=-\frac{6}{5}+b\\b=-7+\frac{6}{5}\\b=-5.8

So the equation of perpendicular line = y = -0.2x - 5.8

The radius of the cone is 5 in and y = 13 in. What is the volume of the cone in terms of π?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The volume of the cone is;

100 π inches^3

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the volume, we need the height

We can get the height from the slant height and the radius

Mathematically, we use Pythagoras’ theorem for this as the slant height, the radius and the height forms a right-angled triangle

The right-angled triangle has the slant height as its hypotenuse

By the theorem, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Let the height be h

Thus;

12^2 = 5^2 + h^2

169= 25 + h^2

h^2 = 169-25

h^2 = 144

h = √1144 inches = 12 inches

The volume of the cone is;

1/3 * π * r^2 * h

= 1/3 * π * 5^2 * 12

= 100 π inches^3
