(a) The scale factor of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid in simplest form
(b) The ratio of the area of the base of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid
(c) Ratio of the volume of the smaller pyramid to the larger
(d) The volume of the smaller pyramid

Answer:

a) The scale factor of the small pyramid to the large pyramid is 4/5

b) The ratio of area of the base of the smaller pyramid to

the larger pyramid is 16/25

c) The ratio of the volume of the smaller pyramid to the volume

of the larger pyramid is 64/125

d) The volume of the smaller = 8192 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The height of the small pyramid is 12 m

∵ The height of the large pyramid is 15 m

∵ The two pyramid are similar

∴ The ratio between their heights = 12/15 = 4/5

a) The scale factor of the small pyramid to the large pyramid is:

4/5

∵ The two pyramid are similar with scale factor 4/5

∴ The area of the small base/ the area of the larger base = (4/5)²

b) The ratio of area of the base of the smaller pyramid to

the larger pyramid is 16/25

∵ The two pyramid are similar with scale factor 4/5

∴ The volume of the small/ the volume of the larger = (4/5)³

c) The ratio of the volume of the smaller pyramid to the volume

of the larger pyramid is 64/125

d) ∵ The volume of the larger pyramid = 16000 m³

∴ The volume of the smaller = (16000 × 64) ÷ 125 = 8192 m³

Sedbober [7]

Answer: 0.8313

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given we have,

$\mu=15.5$ $\sigma= 3.6$

Also, the distribution of the number of suitcases that get lost each week on a certain route is approximately normal.

Since , $z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

z-score corresponds to x= 10: $z=\dfrac{10-15.5}{3.6}\approx-1.53$

z-score corresponds to x= 20: $z=\dfrac{20-15.5}{3.6}=1.25$

P-value = $P(10$

$=P(z$

Hence, the probability that during a given week the airline will lose between 10 and 20 suitcases = 0.8313

Explain why functions with the property f(–x) = –f(x) are called odd functions and functions with the property f(–x) = f(x) are

anastassius [24]

Answer:

The functions with the property f(–x) =f(x) are called even functions because they symmetric about the y-axis and The functions with the property f(–x) = -f(x) are called odd because these function are symmetric about the origin .

Step-by-step explanation:

The functions with the property f(–x) =f(x) are called even functions because they symmetric about the y-axis . In other words these functions usually take a form x^2 ,x^4 ,x^6 ,x^8 etc . However ,there are other functions that behave like that too, such as cos(x).An even exponent does not always make an even function, for example (x+1)^2 is not an even function .

The functions with the property f(–x) = -f(x) are called odd because these function are symmetric about the origin . In other words they are called odd because of the functions like x, x^3 ,x^5 ,x^7, etc .but there are other functions that behave like that, too, such sin(x) .but an odd exponent does not always make an odd function, for example x3+1 is not an odd function.
