Answer:

12 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

If the size of the bag decreased by 20%, so will the number of cups held.

Number of cups held before the change = 15 cups

If the number of cups held after the 20% reduction in the size of the bag

= (100 - 20)% × 15

=80% × 15

= 12 cups

The new bags will hold 12 cups.

Arthur drops a ball from a height of 81 feet above the ground. Its height, h, is given by the equation h = –16t2 + 81, where t i
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the position function and need to find the value of t when h<17.

Create an inequality that represents this situation:

-16t^2+81 The "less than" sign makes this very specifically a conjunction problem as opposed to a disjunction. That's important to the solution. But we'll get there.

The simplest way to solve this is to subtract 81 from both sides:

-16t^2 then divide both sides by -16:

t^2>4 Notice now that the sign is facing the other way since we had to divide by a negative number. Now it's a disjunction. The solution set to this inequality is that t>2 or t<-2. First and foremost, time will never be negative, so we can disregard the -2. Even if that was t<2, the more time that goes by, the greater the time interval is, not the lesser. It's the "<" that doesn't make sense, not only the -2. The solution to this inequality is

t > 2 sec. That means that after 2 seconds, the height of the ball is less than 17 feet.

What is the value of "x" if 25^2 = x
olga55 [171]
The value of x would be the answer of 25^2 which means it is squared and squaring means a number times itself, so, therefore you have 25x25 which would give you the answer of 625 meaning x=625

What is the volume of the following triangular prism?
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the volume of a triangular prism you need 2 things:

The triangles area and the prism's height.

Any prism's volume can be calculated by multiplying its base area with its height.

The Area of a triangle can be calculated in different ways.

The most used and "normal" way is:

(width * height) / 2

Another way is by using herons formula, which looks like this:

a, b, c = different sides of the triangle (length)

s = (a + b + c) / 2

a = \sqrt{s (s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}

When you have the prism's base area (b_{a}) you just have to multiply:

b_{a}*h=V

(V = volume)

If you have any questions, just ask them in the comments below.

Have a good day! (●'◡'●)

What’s the formula to -1/2,-3/10,-9/50,-27/250,....
laila [671]

Answer:

The formula is ⇒ \frac{-1}{2}(\frac{3}{5})^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The sequence is -1/2 , -3/10 , -9/50 , -27/250

∵ (-3/10) ÷ (-1/2) = 3/5

∵ (-9/50) ÷ (-3/10) = 3/5

∴ It is a geometric sequence

∴ The formula is Tn = ar^(n - 1)

Where a is the first term , r is the constant ratio between each two consecutive terms and n is the position of the number

∴ Tn = -1/2 ( 3/5)^(n - 1)

∴ Tn= \frac{-1}{2}(\frac{3}{5})^{n-1}
