In the given problem it is already given that the seedling grew by 1/3 inch in the first week and 5/6 inch in the second week. Then it would not be a problem to find the total length of growth of the seedling.
The length up to which the seedling grew in 2 weeks = (1/3) + (5/6)
                                                                                     = (2 + 5)/6
                                                                                     = 7/6 inch
So the seedling grew by 7/6 inches in two weeks. I hope that this answer is what you were looking for. You can solve such problems in the future by following the method that is applied for solving this problem.

1/3 + 5/6 = 2/6 + 5/6 = 7/6
It grew by 7/6 or 1 1/6 inches by the first 2 weeks.

Can somebody please explain and answer this for me? I really don't get it.
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Results can be (-\frac{1}{3} )^5

Step-by-step explanation:

-The solution for this question:

(-\frac{1}{3} )^5 is equal to  (-\frac{1}{3}) × (-\frac{1}{3}) × (-\frac{1}{3}) × (-\frac{1}{3}) × (-\frac{1}{3})

-The calculation for (-\frac{1}{3} )^5:

(-\frac{1}{3} )^5 = -\frac{1}{243}

If a car averages 21.8 miles per gallon, how many miles will it travel on 16 gallons of gas?
asambeis [7]

Answer: 348.8 miles on 16 gallons of gas

Step-by-step explanation:

Make the following proportion:

\frac{21.8 miles}{1 gallon} = \frac{x miles}{16 gallons}

Since the car consumes gas at the same rate and only the amount of gas is changed, these two fractions must be equivalent. If the rate at which the car consumes gas changes, it would be different.

Use basic algebraic skills and you should get 348.8 miles.

The height of a punted football can be modeled by the function: f(x) = -.0079 x2 + 1.8x + 1.5. In this equation, f(x) is the hei
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The function used to represent the height of a punted football can be modeled as

f(x) = -.0079x² + 1.8x + 1.5

Where f(x) is the height in feet, and x is the horizontal distance, also in feet.

a) when the ball was punted, x = 0, therefore, the height of the punted ball would be

f(x) = -.0079(0)² + 1.8(0) + 1.5

f(x) = 1.5 feet

The height is 1.5 feet

b) The equation is a quadratic equation. The plot of this equation on a graph would give a parabola whose vertex would be equal to the maximum height reached by the punted ball.

The vertex of the parabola is calculated as follows,

Vertex = -b/2a

From the equation,

a = - 0.0079

b = 1.8

Vertex = - - 1.8/0.0079 = 227.84 feet

So the maximum height of the punt is 227.84 feet

g Consider the experiment of a single roll of an honest die and a single toss of 3 fair coins. Let X be the value on the die and
klemol [59]

Answer:

The probability function of X and Y is

P(X = k, Y = 0)  = 1/48\\P(X = k, Y = 1) = 1/16\\P(X = k, Y = 2) = 1/16\\P(X = k, Y = 3) = 1/48

With k in {1,2,3,4,5,6}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can naturally assume that X and Y are independent. Because of that, P(X=a, Y=b) = P(X=a) * P(Y=b) for any a, b.

Note that, since the die is honest, then P(X=k) = 1/6 for any k in {1,2,3,4,5,6}. We can conclude as a consequence that P(X=k, Y=l) = P(Y=l)/6 for any k in {1,2,3,4,5,6}.

Y has a binomial distribution, with parameters n = 3, p = 1/2. Y has range {0,1,2,3}. Lets compute the probability mass function of Y:

P_Y(0) = {3 \choose 0} * 0.5^3 = 1/8

P_Y(1) = {3 \choose 1} * 0.5* 0.5^2 = 3/8

P_Y(2) = {3 \choose 2} * 0.5^2*0.5 = 3/8

P_Y(3) = {3 \choose 3} * 0.5^3 = 1/8

Thus, we can conclude that the joint probability function is given by the following formula

P(X = k, Y = 0) = 1/8 * 1/6 = 1/48\\P(X = k, Y = 1) = 3/8 * 1/6 = 1/16\\P(X = k, Y = 2) = 3/8 * 1/6 = 1/16\\P(X = k, Y = 3) = 1/8 * 1/6 = 1/48

For any k in {0,1,2,3,4,5,6}
