Answer:
d. 27 cubic feet
Step-by-step explanation:
volume of cube = s^3 = B * s
volume of pyramid = (1/3) * B * h
The volume of a pyramid is 1/3 of the area of the base multiplied by the height. The volume of a cube is the area of the base multiplied by the height. Since the volume of a pyramid has the fraction 1/3 and the volume of the cube does not, then the volume of a cube is 3 times greater than the volume of a pyramid that fits inside and has the same base area.
volume of pyramid = 9 cu ft
volume of cube = 3 * 9 cu ft = 27 cu ft
Answer: d. 27 cubic feet
Answer:
The point-slope form of this equation would be y + 3 = 1/2(x - 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find this, start with the base form of point-slope form.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Now input the slope for m and the point for (x1, y1)
y - -3 = 1/2(x - 6)
y + 3 = 1/2(x - 6)
Answer:
- P(≥1 working) = 0.9936
- She raises her odds of completing the exam without failure by a factor of 13.5, from 11.5 : 1 to 155.25 : 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Assuming the failure is in the calculator, not the operator, and the failures are independent, the probability of finishing with at least one working calculator is the complement of the probability that both will fail. That is ...
... P(≥1 working) = 1 - P(both fail) = 1 - P(fail)² = 1 - (1 - 0.92)² = 0.9936
2. The odds in favor of finishing an exam starting with only one calculator are 0.92 : 0.08 = 11.5 : 1.
If two calculators are brought to the exam, the odds in favor of at least one working calculator are 0.9936 : 0.0064 = 155.25 : 1.
This odds ratio is 155.25/11.5 = 13.5 times as good as the odds with only one calculator.

My assessment is that there is significant gain from bringing a backup. (Personally, I might investigate why the probability of failure is so high. I have not had such bad luck with calculators, which makes me wonder if operator error is involved.)
The trick to calculating the area here is to subdivide the diagram into smaller parts. For example, there's a 3 cm-by-3cm square. The rectangle is 4 cm by 8 cm.. The triangle has a base of 5 cm and a height of 3 cm.
Total area = area of square + area of rectangle + area of triangle
= 9 cm^2 + 32 cm^2 + (1/2)(5 cm)(3 cm)
= (9 + 32 + 7.5) cm^2
= 48.5 cm^2 (total area of figure)
This is a geometric sequence with a common ratio of -4:
-9*-4=36
36*-4=-144
-144*-4=576
Thus, the 9th term would be equal to:
(-4)^5*576 which is -589824
The exponent 5 comes from the fact that 4 terms have already been displayed and we need 9-4 more terms to get to the 9th term. Since we are multiplying by -4 only, the 5 remains an exponent
