The youngest child is 8 years old.
The middle child is the youngest child+4 or, 8+4 which makes that child 12 years old.
The oldest child is the middle child+8 or, 12+8, making the oldest 18 years old.
Carol is all of the childrens ages combined plus 12 or, 8+12+18+12=50.
Carol is 50 years old.

Hope this helped :)

What is the simplified form of the following expression? 2 Sqrt 18+3 Sqrt 2 + Sqrt 162
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

18√2

Step-by-step explanation:

2√18 + 3√2 + √162

= 2√(9 * 2) + 3√2 + √(81 * 2)

= (2 * 3)√2 + 3√2 + 9√2

= 6√2 + 3√2 + 9√2

= (6 + 3 + 9)√2

= 18√2

A welder drops a piece of red-hot steel on the floor. The initial temperature of the steel is 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit. The ambi
sergey [27]

Answer: After 18.05 minutes, the temperature of steel becomes 100 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Initial temperature = 2500

At t = 0,

we get that

f(t)=Ce^{-kt}+80\\\\2500=C+80\\\\2500-80=C\\\\2420=C

After 2 minutes, the temperature of the steel is 1500 degrees.

so, it becomes,

1500=2420e^{-2k}+80\\\\1500-80=2420e^{-2k}\\\\\dfrac{1420}{2420}=e^{-2k}\\\\0.587=e^{-2k}\\\\\ln 0.587=-2k\\\\-0.533=-2k\\\\k=\dfrac{0.533}{2}\\\\k=0.266

So, We need to find the number of minutes when the temperature of steel would be 100 degrees.

So, it becomes,

100=2420e^{-0.266t}+80\\\\100-80=2420e^{-0.266t}\\\\20=2420e^{-0.266t}\\\\\dfrac{20}{2420}=e^{-0.266t}\\\\\ln \dfrac{20}{2420}=-0.266t\\\\-4.8=-0.266t\\\\t=\dfrac{4.8}{0.266}\\\\t=18.05

Hence, after 18.05 minutes, the temperature of steel becomes 100 degrees.

How many times larger is the 7 in the number 7042 than the 7 in the number 427?
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

  1000

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of a digit in a number, set all the other digits to zero.

The value of 7 in 7042 is 7000.

The value of 7 in 427 is 007 = 7.

Then the question is "how many times larger is 7000 than 7?" That result is found by dividing 7000 by 7:

  7000/7 = 1000

The 7 in 7042 is 1000 times larger than the 7 in 427.

_____

<em>Another way to consider this</em>

The 7 in 7042 is in the "thousands" place. The 7 in 427 is in the "ones" place. The thousands place is 3 places to the left of the ones place. Each place moved to the left increases the value by a factor of 10, so the value of a digit in the thousands place is 10×10×10 = 1000 times that of the same digit in the ones place.

The average maximum monthly temperature in Campinas, Brazil is 29.9 degrees Celsius. The standard deviation in maximum monthly t
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

P(X>32)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{32-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{32-29.9}{2.31})=P(z>0.909)

And we can find this probability with the complement rule and using the normal standard distributon table or excel we got:

P(z>0.909)=1-P(z

And if we convert this to a % we got 18.2 % of maximum temperatures higher or equal than 32 C

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the maximum monthly temperature of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(29.9,2.31)  

Where \mu=29.9 and \sigma=2.31

We are interested on this probability

P(X>32)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X>32)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{32-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{32-29.9}{2.31})=P(z>0.909)

And we can find this probability with the complement rule and using the normal standard distributon table or excel we got:

P(z>0.909)=1-P(z

And if we convert this to a % we got 18.2 % of maximum temperatures higher or equal than 32 C
