start fraction, 1, divided by, 2, end fraction of hitting the Captain's ship. If her ship has been hit, dread pirate Umaima will always miss.
If the Captain and the pirate each shoot once, and the pirate shoots first, what is the probability that both the pirate and the Captain hit each other's ships?

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that if the Captain's ship has been hit, he will always miss and since the pirate is shooting first, the captain's ship could be hit. So the probability that both of them hit each other's ship is 0 because if the pirate hits the Captain's ship, he will always miss.  1/2 * 0 = 0

There is no way for both of them to hit each other's ships because if their ships have been hit, they will always miss.

Y=-4x-7, x+y=2 please help rn
Mashcka [7]
Use substitution
x -4x - 7 = 2
-3x = 9, x = -3
Y = -4(-3) - 7
Y = 12 - 7, y = 5
Solution: x = -3, y = 5

Tobias sent a chain letter to his friends, asking them to forward the letter to more friends. The number of people who receive t
malfutka [58]

Answer:

  • P(t)=37\times (4)^{(t/9.1)}

Explanation:

The number of emails is multiplied by <em>4</em> every <em>9.1 weeks.</em>

Thus, since <em>Tobias initially sent the chain letter to 37 friends</em>, the number of letters will grow as per this geometric series:

Start:        37 letters

  • In 9.1 weeks: 37 × 4

  • In 2 × 9.1 weeks: 37 × (4)²

  • In 3 × 9.1 weeks: 37 × (4)³

As you see, the exponent is the number of weeks divided by 9.1

Thus, if your variable is the number of weeks, t, then the exponent is t/9.1

And the exponential function, P(t) will be:

   P(t)=37\times (4)^{(t/9.1)}

What is the lowest number 588 can be multiplied by so that the result is a squared number?
Keith_Richards [23]
The lowest number is  3.

3 x 588  =  1,764

1,764  =  (42) squared

I don't know an easy way to do it.  I just slogged through it one-by-one ...
I tried  2 , then I tried  3  and I didn't have to go any farther.
You could have done the same thing.  The difference between us is that
I'm willing to work on it just for fun, whereas you're not willing to work on it
even for homework.  That's why I became good in math and you might not.

£2200 is deposited in a bank paying 0.5% simple interest per annum. How much interest will have been paid after 18 years?
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The answer would be £198

principal (p) = 2200

Rate (R) = 0.5%

Time (T) = 18

Interest(I) = ?

Now,

or, Interest. = P×T×R/100

or, Interest = 2200×18×0.5/100

or, Interest = 19800/100

Hence, Interest = 198
