Answer:

AB=8 BC=17 AC=9 BD=18

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so A is -3 and B is 5, so the distance would be 8, because the difference between -3 and 5 is 8. The same goes for all the rest. The distance on the number line is the difference between the two numbers they represent.

A pyramid is placed inside a prism as shown. The pyramid has the same base area, B, as the prism but half the height, h, of the

klemol [59]

The general formula of a pyramid with any base is 1/3 bh where b is the area of the base and h is the height. In this case, the height of the pyramid is said to be twice the height of the prism, h. Hence the area becomes 1/3 b*2h or equal to option A. 2/3

An elevator containing five people can stop at any of seven floors. What is the probability that no two people exit at the same

elena-s [515]

Answer:

Approximately $0.15$ ( $360 / 2401$ .) (Assume that the choices of the $5$ passengers are independent. Also assume that the probability that a passenger chooses a particular floor is the same for all $7$ floors.)

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is no requirement that no two passengers exit at the same floor, each of these $5$ passenger could choose from any one of the $7$ floors. There would be a total of $7 \times 7 \times 7 \times 7 \times 7 = 7^{5}$ unique ways for these $5\!$ passengers to exit the elevator.

Assume that no two passengers are allowed to exit at the same floor.

The first passenger could choose from any of the $7$ floors.

However, the second passenger would not be able to choose the same floor as the first passenger. Thus, the second passenger would have to choose from only $(7 - 1) = 6$ floors.

Likewise, the third passenger would have to choose from only $(7 - 2) = 5$ floors.

Thus, under the requirement that no two passenger could exit at the same floor, there would be only $(7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3)$ unique ways for these two passengers to exit the elevator.

By the assumption that the choices of the passengers are independent and uniform across the $7$ floors. Each of these $7^{5}$ combinations would be equally likely.

Thus, the probability that the chosen combination satisfies the requirements (no two passengers exit at the same floor) would be:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{(7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3)}{7^{5}} \approx 0.15\end{aligned}$ .

A telephone pole has a wire to its top that is anchored to the ground. The distance from the bottom of the pole to the anchor po

Bumek [7]

Answer:

The height of the pole is 105ft,

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us call $h$ the height of the pole, then we know that the distance from the bottom of the pole to the anchor point is 49, or it is $h - 49$ .

The wire length $d$ is 14 ft longer than height $h$ , hence

$d= h+14$ .

Thus we get a right triangle with hypotenuse $d= y+14$ , perpendicular $h$ , and base $h-49$ ; therefore, the Pythagorean theorem gives

$(h-49)^2+h^2 = (h+14)^2$

which upon expanding we get:

$h^2-98h+2401 = h^2+28h+196$

further simplification gives

$h^2-126h+2205=0$ ,

which is a quadratic equation with solutions

$h =21ft\\h = 105ft.$

Since the first solution $h =21ft$ will give the triangle base length of $21ft-49ft = -28ft$ which is negative; therefore, we disregard it and pick the solution $h = 105ft$ .

Hence, the height of the pole is 105ft.

1.) Find the value of the discriminant and the the number of real solutions of

ruslelena [56]

Hi there!

When we have an equation standard form...
$a {x}^{2} + bx + c = 0$
...the formula of the discriminant is
D = b^2 - 4ac

When
D > 0 we have two real solutions
D = 0 we have one real solutions
D < 0 we don't have real solutions

1.) Find the value of the discriminant and the the number of real solutions of
x^2-8x+7=0

Plug in the values from the equation into the formula of the discriminant

$( - 8) {}^{2} - 4 \times 1 \times 7 = 64 - 28 = 36$

D > 0 and therefore we have two real solutions.

2.) Find the value of the discriminant and the number of real solutions of
2x^2+4x+2=0

Again, plug in the values from the equation into the formula of the discriminant.

${4}^{2} - 4 \times 2 \times 2 = 16 - 16 = 0$

D = 0 and therefore we have one real solution.

~ Hope this helps you.
