Take the height of the tree and convert it to inches by multiplying the feet by 12 and then adding the leftover inches; this comes out to 177 inches. Divide this number by 3 to receive the height of the pole; this turns out to be 59 inches. Then convert it to get and inches to get 4 feet 11 inches, because 5 feet is 60 inches.

A rectangular swimming pool is twice as long as it is wide. A small concrete sidewalk surrounds the pool and is a constant 2 fee
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The dimensions of the pool are:

Width: 8.944 feet

Length: 17.888 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From Geometry, the area of a rectangle (A), measured in square feet, is determined by the following equations:

A = w\cdot l (1)

Where:

w - Width, measured in feet.

l - Length, measured in feet.

If we know that w = x, l = 2\cdot x and A = 160\,ft^{2}, then we get the following second order polynomial:

2\cdot x^{2}-160 = 0 (1)

And we solve the expression for x:

2\cdot x^{2} = 160

x^{2} = 80

x = \sqrt{80}\,ft

x \approx 8.944\,ft

Then, the dimensions of the pool are, respectively:

w \approx 8.944\,ft and l \approx 17.888\,ft

Hi can someone please help me?
marshall27 [118]
Both can be right because if the function goes up, turns and goes down, between x = -2 and x = 2, it can happen that  f(-2) = f(2) and then the average rate of change is [f(2) - f(-2)] / [2-(-2)] which is 0/4 = 0.

Mark tosses a coin 25 times. What is the probability that it lands on heads exactly seven times?
mezya [45]

Answer:

1.43%

Step-by-step explanation:

we have that we can solve it by means of binomial, in this case m = 25. Also the probability of head is 50%. we need to know when it falls 7 times, therefore x = 7

the formula is:

P (x) = mCx * p ^ x * q ^ (m-x)

we know that p is 0.5 therefore q is equal to 0.5, replacing:

P (7) = 25C7 * 0.5 ^ 7 * 0.5 ^ (25-7)

P (7) = 25! / (7! * (25-7)!) * 0.5 ^ 7 * 0.5 ^ (25-7)

P = 0.0143

that is, the probability is 1.43%

For a certain race, 4 teams were allowed to enter 3 members each. A team earned 9 – n points whenever one of its members finishe
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

D. 3 Points

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Members = 3

Point = 9 - n

1 \leq\ n \leq 8

Required

Determine the least possible score

The least point a member of a team can get is when n = 8.

i.e.

Point = 9 - n

Point = 9- 8

Point = 1

To get the least score, each of the 3 members must have 1 point each.

So:

Total = 3 * 1

Total = 3
