The shortest height at which the two stacks will be same is 72 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Boxes that are 18 inches tall are being stacked next to boxes that are 24 inches tall.

It means that we will find least common factor of both the boxes;

18 = 2*3*3

24 = 2*2*2*3

LCM = 2*2*2*3*3 = 72

The least common multiple of 18 and 24 is 72, therefore,

The shortest height at which the two stacks will be same is 72 inches.

Keywords: LCM, multiplication

Write the next 2 terms of the Fibonacci sequence starting with 2, 6, ....
Igoryamba

Answer:

8, 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Any term in a Fibonacci sequence is found as

a_{n} = a_{n-2} + a_{n-1}

Thus

a₃ = a₁ + a₂ = 2 + 6 = 8

a₄ = a₂ + a₃ = 6 + 8 = 14

The next 2 terms are 8, 14

X^2 +105x-1050=1550<br><br> please help
bazaltina [42]

-x^2+105x-1050=1550
We move all terms to the left:
-x^2+105x-1050-(1550)=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
-1x^2+105x-2600=0
a = -1; b = 105; c = -2600;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 1052-4·(-1)·(-2600)
Δ = 625
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:

The probability that a plane departs on time at a certain airport is .87 The probability that a plane arrives on time given it d
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

0.9355

Step-by-step explanation:

What we will use here is conditional probability formula.

let A be the event that the plane departs on time

and B be the event that it arrives on time

P(A) = 0.87

P(B|A) = 0.93

P(B) = ?

P(A n B) = ?

Mathematically;

P(B|A) = P(B nA)/P(A)

0.93 = 0.87/P(A)

P(A) = 0.87/0.93

P(A) = 0.935483870967742

which is 0.9355 to four decimal places
