Answer:
There are 220 ways by which the medals can be awarded to three of the 15 gymnast, if exactly one of the Americans wins a medal
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we have;
The number of gymnast in the Olympic women's competition = 15
The number of the gymnast who are Americans = 4
The number of medals awarded = 3 medals
The number of ways hat the medals can be awarded to the three of the gymnast if exactly one of the Americans wins a medal is given as follows;
The number of ways one of the medals can be won by one of the four Americans = ₄C₁ = 4 ways
The number of ways the other two medals can be won by the remaining 11 gymnast = ₁₁C₂ = 55 ways
Therefore, the total number of ways, 'N', the medals can be awarded to three of the 15 gymnast, if exactly one of the Americans wins a medal is given as follows;
N = ₄C₁ × ₁₁C₂
∴ N = 4 × 55 = 220
Answer: the rectangle of maximum area is a square of side length 1= 4 cm let x and y be the lengths of the sides of the rectangle measured in cm
Step-by-step explanation:
then the perimeter is
2x+2y=16
so that:
y=8- x
Answer:
12 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
given data
let the heights of the plants be y
and the number of weeks be x
Plant A
y=3x+8.5--------------1
Plant B
y=2.5x+14.5----------2
Required
The number of weeks taken for both plants to have the same height
,equate the two expressions above
3x+8.5=2.5x+14.5
3x-2.5x=14.5-8.5
0.5x= 6
divide both sides by 0.5
x= 6/0.5
x= 12 weeks
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:

590 = 1800 e^(-0.4t) Divide by 1800
0.32778 = e^(-0.4t) Put the value for e in the denominator.
0.32778 = 1 / e^(0.4t) Notice the sign's gone. Multiply both sides by e^(0.4t)
0.32778 *e^(0.4t) = 1 Divide by 0.32778
e^(0.4t) = 3.0508 Take the natural log of both sides.
0.4t = 1.11542 Divide both sides by 0.4
t = 2.78855
You should put this in the original equation to see if it checks. It does.
=============================
Nine
3^(3 - 3x) + 6 = 42 Subtract 6 from both sides
3^(3 - 3x) = 36 Take the log of both sides.
(3 - 3x) ln(3) = ln 36
(3 - 3x) *1.098612 = 3.58352 Divide by 1.098612
3 - 3x = 3.26186 Subtract 3 from both sides
- 3x = 0.26186 Divide by - 3
x = - 0.087287
The circumference of a circle is C=2πR, where R is the radius of the circle and π≈3.14.
So if we open the circumference of the circle into a straight line segment, the length of this segment is C=2πR≈2*3.14*R=6.28R
4 rotations mean 4 circumferences that is 4 segments of length 6.28R,
which makes a linear distance of 4*6.28R=25.12R
i: the radius of the smaller wheel is R=r, thus it covers a distance of 25.12r feet
ii: the radius of the smaller wheel is R=2r, thus it covers a distance of 25.12*2r=50.24r (feet)
50.24r is twice 25.12r, thus the larger wheel traveled Twice the distance of the smaller one.
Answer: the larger covered twice the distance of the smaller.
