We'll start by calling the number of pigeons we started with x, because it's the unknown.

After she clapped 1/3 flew away so she was left with

(1 - 1/3) x = (2/3) x

Two flew back, so now there are

(2/3) x + 2

She clapped again and half left, half stayed, so now

(1/2) ( (2/3) x + 2 )

One came back and there were five,

(1/2) ( (2/3) x + 2 ) + 1 = 5

Solving is unraveling.

(1/2) ( (2/3) x + 2 )  = 4

(2/3) x + 2   = 8

(2/3) x  = 6

x = (3/2) 6 = 9

Answer: 9 pigeons

Check: Reviewing the story,  9 -> 6 -> 8 -> 4 -> 5 good

What the closest volume of a cylinder with a height of 10 and a circumference of 8
jenyasd209 [6]

In order to calculate the volume of a cylinder, we can use the following formula:

V=\pi r^2h

Where r is the base radius and h is the height.

If the circumference is 8, we have:

\begin{gathered} C=2\pi r \\ 8=2\pi r \\ r=\frac{4}{\pi} \end{gathered}

Now, calculating the volume, we have:

\begin{gathered} V=\pi(\frac{4}{\pi})^2\cdot10 \\ V=\frac{160}{\pi} \\ V=50.93 \end{gathered}

So the correct option is the second one.

2. f(x)=4x+1 and ​g(x)=x2−4x−5​, find ​(g◦​f)(4​).
Goryan [66]

Answer:

(g · f)(4) = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=4x+1

g(x)=x² - 4x- 5

(g · f)(x) = 4(x² - 5) + 1

(g · f)(4) = 4(4² - 5) + 1

Following pemdas

(g · f)(4) = 4(16 - 5) + 1

(g · f)(4) = 4(11) + 1

(g · f)(4) = 44 + 1

(g · f)(4) = 45

Two competing gyms each offer childcare while parents work out gym a charged $9.00 per hour of childcare. Gym b charges $0.75 pe
andriy [413]

Answer:

D.)Gym B and Gym A charge the same hourly rate for childcare.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find out how much Gym B charges for a full hour. There are 60 minutes in an hour. Divide this by 5 to determine how many 5 minute increments are in an hour: 12. A parent paying for 1 hour of child care will need to make 12 payments of .75. 12 times .75 equals $9.00. This means that both gyms charge the same amount per hour.

DENIUS [597]
A. it is a hexagon (there are 6 sides) B. using the equation (n-2)180 (where n is the number of sides we get (6-2)180=4*180=720. divide 720 by 6 to get 120 for each angle of the hexagon. (it has no irregularities in it's shape so that number will be correct for them all.) C. to get that just divide 39 by 6 to get 6.5 in per side. Hope that helps:)
