Step 1
Formulate a recursive sequence modeling the number of grams after n  minutes.
we have that
100%-17.1%-------------- > 82.9%------------> 0.829

a(n) = 780*[0.829<span>^n]
</span>
for n=19 minutes
a(19)=780*[0.829^(19)]=22.1121 g---------------> 22.1 g

the answer is 22.1 g

Question #2 What is the difference?​
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

B  \frac{b-10}{b-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get the same denominator, we need to multiply the second fraction by (b+2) in the numerator and denominator.

We will end up in something like this :\frac{b^{2} - 2b - 8 -6(b+2) }{(b-1)(b+2)}

I just timed the second fraction by b+ 2 and then i added them together.

Therefore, we will get \frac{b^{2} - 8b - 20}{(b-1)(b-2)}

now factoring the numerator we will end like this

\frac{(b-10)(b+2)}{(b-1)(b+2)}

we will then end up with the answer.

Hope this helps.

Point B has coordinates ​(3​,2​). The​ x-coordinate of point A is −6. The distance between point A and point B is 15 units. What
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Distance between two points= √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

D= 15units

Let "k" be the y-coordinate of A

A(-6,k)

B(3,2)

15= √(3--6)²+(2-k)²

Taking square of both sides to eliminate the square root.

15²=(9)²+(2-k)²

225=81+4-4k+k²

k²-4k - 140=0

Using Quadratic Formula to evaluate

k= 14 or k=-10

The Possible coordinates of A are

(-6,14) or (-6,-10)

​In a sample of 800 U.S.​ adults, 199 think that most celebrities are good role models. Two Two U.S. adults are selected at rand
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a sample of 800 U.S.​ adults, 199 think that most celebrities are good role models. Two Two U.S. adults are selected at random from the population of all U.S. adults without replacement.

In 800 adults 199 are favourable and remaining 601 are against.

a) The probability that both adults think most celebrities are good role models is ________= Prob of selecting both from 199

= \frac{199C2}{800C2} \\=0.0616

=0.062

b) The probability that neither adult thinks most celebrities are good role models is _______=P(both selecting from 601)

=  \frac{601C2}{800C2} \\=0.5641

=0.564

c) The probability that at least one of the two adults thinks most celebrities are good role models ______

=1-Prob that neither thinks

= 1- 0.564

= 0.436

Solve the Law of Cosine: c^2 = a^2+ b^2 - 2abcosC for cos C.
Andrew [12]

Answer:

The Law of Cosine :  cos C = \frac{a^{2}+ b^{2}-c^{2}}{2ab}

Step-by-step explanation:

See the figure to understand the proof :

Let A Triangle ABC with sides a,b,c,

Draw a perpendicular on base AC of height H meet at point D

Divide base length b as AD = x -b   and    CD = x

By Pythagoras Theorem

In Triangle BDC             And     In Triangle BDA

a² = h² + x²     (  1  )                        c² = h² + (x-b)²

                                                      c² = h² + x² + b² - 2xb   ...(. 2)

From above eq 1 and 2

c² = (a² - x²) + x² + b² - 2xb

or, c² = a² + b² - 2xb                    .....(3)

Again in ΔBDC

cos C = \frac{BD}{BC}

Or, cos C = \frac{x}{a}

∴ x= a cos C

Now put ht value of x in eq 3

I.e, c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos C

Hence , cos C = \frac{a^{2}+ b^{2}-c^{2}}{2ab}      Proved   Answer
