Answer:

2 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be length of the small piece and y the length of the big one.

● y = 5x

Since the big piece is 5 times longer than the short one.

The total length is 12 ft

● y + x = 12

● 5x + x = 12

● 6x = 12

Divide both sides by 6

● 6x/6 = 12/6

● x = 2

So the length of the two pieces are 2 ft and 10 ft (5×2)

The nth term of a sequence is 33 - 5n<br><br> a) Work out the first three terms of the sequence.
levacccp [35]
Answer : 28, 23, 18

To find the ‘nth term’ all you have to do is replace the variable ‘n’ in the equation with the number term you’re looking for.

In this case you’re looking for the first three terms, so you would replace n with the numbers 1, 2, and 3.

This gives you 28, 23, and 18.

Find the measure <br>someone please help ​
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

m∠B = 31°

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the measure of angle ACB by subtracting its supplement from 180 degrees:

180 - 113 = 77

m∠ACB = 77°

Then subtract both m∠A and m∠ACB from 180 degrees, since the interior angles of a triangle always add to 180°:

m∠B = 180° - 72° - 77°

m∠B = 31°

The battery standby duration (in hours) of a new model of cell phone is known to be normally distributed. Ten pieces of such new
Stells [14]

x = number of hours

want to find probability (P) x >= 13

x is N(14,1) transform to N(0,1) using z = (x - mean) / standard deviation so can look up probability using standard normal probability table.

P(x >= 13) = P( z > (13 - 14)/1) = P(z > -1) = 1 - P(z < -1) = 1 - 0.1587 = 0.8413

To convert that to percentage, multiply 100, to get 84.13%
