Emily = x
Samantha = x + 2
Lauren = x + 4

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 42

x = 12

Thus: 

Emily = 12
Samantha = 14
Lauren = 16

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:12 (2v-7)

Step-by-step explanation: You have to find The GCF which  is 12.THen you do 24v divide 12 which is 2v and do 84 divide 12 which is 7.Now put GCF which is 12 ,then write (,next write 2v - 7 .

A test consists of 10 true or false questions. To pass the test a student must answer at least eight questions correctly. If the

<h3>The probability of  student passing the quiz with  at least 50% of the questions correct is 0.05457.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the total number of T/F question = 10

The minimum answers needed correctly answered = 8

So, student needs to answer at least 8 questions correctly.

Here, the possibility of answering a question correctly  = (\frac{1}{2})   = p = 0.5

Also, the possibility of answering a question wrong  = (\frac{1}{2})  = q = 0.5

Now, to pass he needs to answer 8 or more (  8 , 9 or 10) answers correctly.

P(answering 8 correct answer)  = ^{10}C_8(p)^8(q)^2 = ^{10}C_8(0.5)^8(0.5)^2  = 0.0439

P(answering 9 correct answer)  =  ^{10}C_9(p)^9(q)^1 = ^{10}C_9(0.5)^9(0.5)^1  = 0.0097

P(answering 10 correct answer)  = ^{10}C_{10}(p)^{10}(q)^0 = ^{10}C_{10}(0.5)^{10}(0.5)^0  = 0.00097

So, the total Probability   = P(8) + P(9) + P(10)

= (0.0439) + (0.0097) + (0.00097)

= 0.05457

Hence, the probability that the student passes the quiz  with  at least 8 of the questions correct is 0.05457.

A cube is built with inside dimensions of 10 inches. The material is 0.2 inches thick. Use a Taylor series approximation to find
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

V(x,y,z) ≈ 61.2 in

Step-by-step explanation:

for the function f

f(X)=x³

then the volume will be

V(x,y,z)= f(X+h) -  f(X) , where h= 0.2 (thickness)

doing a Taylor series approximation to f(x+h) from f(x)

f(X+h) - f(X) = ∑fⁿ(X)*(X-h)ⁿ/n!

that can be approximated through the first term and second

f(X+h) - f(X) ≈ f'(x)*(-h)+f''(x)*(-h)²/2 = 3*x²*(-h)+6*x*(-h)²/2

since x=L=10 in (cube)

f(X+h) - f(X) ≈ 3*x²*(-h)+6*x*(-h)²/2 = 3*L²*h+6*L*h²/2 = 3*L*h*(h+L)

then

f(X+h) - f(X) ≈  3*L*h*(h+L) = 3* 10 in * 0.2 in * ( 0.2 in + 10 in ) = 61.2 in

then

V(x,y,z) ≈   61.2 in

V real = (10.2 in)³-(10 in)³ = 61 in
