Answer:

The number of pounds of coffee in stock decreased by 9% each hour since the trend began.

There were 40 pounds of coffee in stock when the trend began.

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x)=0.4(.91)^x

      = a b^x

where a is the initial value and b = 1-rate of decrease

We know that the number of pounds of coffee will decrease as time goes on.

.4 is the initial value

It is in the hundreds of pound

.4 * 100 = 40 pounds

x is the number of hours

.91 = 1- rate of decrease

Subtract 1 from each side

.91-1 =-rate of decrease

-.09 = -rate of decrease

rate of decrease = .09

rate of decrease = 9 %

That means we keep 91 % of the coffee and sell 9% of the coffee


Lets check the statements:

There were 400 pounds of coffee in stock when the trend began.

False  there were 40 pounds when we started


The number of pounds of coffee in stock decreased by 9% each hour since the trend began.

True  see above calculations

True  see above calculations


The number of pounds of coffee in stock decreased by 91% each hour since the trend began.

The volume of an oblique pyramid with a square base is V units3 and the height is h units.Which expression represents the area o
melamori03 [73]

Answer: a) \dfrac{3V}{h}\ units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the volume of an oblique pyramid is given by :-

\text{Volume}=\dfrac{1}{3}\text{(Base Area x height) }

If the volume of an oblique pyramid with a square base is V units³ and the height is h units.

Then, we have

V=\dfrac{1}{3}\text{(Base Area x h) }

Multiply 3 on both sides , we get

3V=\text{(Base Area x h) }

Divide both sides by h , we get

\dfrac{3V}{h}=\text{Base Area }

i.e. \text{Base Area }=\dfrac{3V}{h}\ units^2

Hence, the expression represents the area of the base of the pyramid = \dfrac{3V}{h}\ units^2

Hence, the correct answer is a) 3 v/h units^2

Two counters are selected at random from a bag containing 5 red counters and 3 blue counters.
azamat

Answer:

1.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of selecting a red counter :

Number of red counter / total number of counters

5 / (5 + 3) = 5 /8 = 0.625

Probability of selecting a blue counter = 0.375

Let number of red counters :

0, 1 or 2

0 red counters :

Expected value = x * p(x)

0 + (0.625*1) + (0.390625 * 2)

0 + 0.625 + 0.78125 = 1.40625

Expected number of red counters = 1.4

1) x³ + 2x² - x - 2                            2) 2x³ + 5x² - 8x - 20 = 0

x²(x + 2) - (x + 2)                                x²(2x + 5) - 4(2x + 5) = 0

(x + 2)(x² - 1)                                      (2x + 5)(x² - 4) = 0

(x + 2)(x - 1)(x + 1)                             x = -5/2, +-2

x = -2, 1, -1   << a is the answer.

hope that helps, God bless!
