The scant of the cone is 5.83 in

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Height, h of the cone = 3 in

Diameter, d = 10 in

Radius, r = 10/2 = 5 in

Scant, L = ?

Height, diameter and cone will form a right angle triangle.

Using pythagoras theorm:

(L)² = (h)² + (d)²

(L)² = (3)² + (5)²

(L)² = 34

L = 5.83 in

Therefore, the scant of the cone is 5.83 in

In Polynomials all the exponents of x-variable must be positive integers, then polynomials are:
<span>a) -x^5+7x-1/2x^2+9, the exponents of x's are: 5, 1, and 2
b) x^3-4x-3, the exponents of x's are: 3, and 1
f) x^4+x^3√7+2x^2-√3/2x+π, the exponents of x's are: 4, 3, 2, and 1

Not polynomials are:
</span><span>c) 4 / x^2-4x+3 = 4x^(-2)-4x+3, the exponents of x's are -2, and 1
d) x^4+5/x^3-√x+8=x^4+5x^(-3)-x^(1/2)+8, the exponents of x's are 4, -3, and 1/2
e) </span>|x|^2+4√x-2=<span>|x|^2+4x^(1/2)-2, the exponents of x's are 2 and 1/2</span>

Scarborough High School ordered several replacement books for the mathematics department. When the box of books arrived at the h

Anarel [89]

Answer:

Algebra 1 = 12 books

Algebra 2 = 5 books

Geometry = 6 books

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent

<em>Algebra 1 with A</em>

<em>Algebra 2 with B</em>

<em>Geometry with C</em>

For the quantity

$A + B + C = 23$

To represent the weight, we have that:

$A = 4lb$

$B = 5lb$

$C = 3lb$

$Total = 93lb$

This gives:

$4A + 3B + 5C = 93$

The last sentence in the question can be represented with:

$C + B = A - 1$

So, the expressions to work with are

$A + B + C = 23$ --- (1)

$4A + 3B + 5C = 93$ --- (2)

$C + B = A - 1$ --- (3)

Substitute A - 1 for B + C in (1)

$A + B + C = 23$

$A + A - 1 = 23$

$2A - 1 = 23$

Solve for 2A

$2A = 23 + 1$

$2A = 24$

Solve for A

$A = 12$

Substitute 12 for A in the (2) & (3)

$4A + 3B + 5C = 93$

$4 * 12 + 3B + 5C = 93$

$48 + 3B + 5C = 93$

$3B + 5C = 93 - 48$

$3B + 5C = 45$ ---- (4)

$C + B = A - 1$

$C + B = 12 - 1$

$C + B = 11$

Make C the subject

$C = 11 - B$ ----- (5)

Substitute 11 - B for C in (4)

$3B + 5C = 45$

$3B + 5(11 - B) = 45$

$3B + 55 - 5B = 45$

Collect Like Terms

$3B - 5B = 45 - 55$

$-2B = -10$

Solve for B

$B = -10/-2$

$B = 5$

Substitute 5 for B in (5)

$C = 11 - B$

$C = 11- 5$

$C = 6$

The driving distance for the top 100 golfers on the PGA tour is between 284.7 and 310.6 yards. Assume that the driving distance

Dovator [93]

Answer:

$X \sim Unif(a=284.7, b = 310.6)$

And the density function is given by:

$f(x) = \frac{1}{b-a}= \frac{1}{310.6-284.7}= 0.0386, 284.7 \leq x \leq 310.6$

And the cumulative distribution function is given by:

$F(X) = \frac{x-a}{b-a}= \frac{x-284.7}{25.9}$

And we want the following probability:

$P(X>300)$

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

$P(X>300)= 1-P(X$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the driving distance and we know that the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim Unif(a=284.7, b = 310.6)$

And the density function is given by:

$f(x) = \frac{1}{b-a}= \frac{1}{310.6-284.7}= 0.0386, 284.7 \leq x \leq 310.6$

And the cumulative distribution function is given by:

$F(X) = \frac{x-a}{b-a}= \frac{x-284.7}{25.9}$

And we want the following probability:

$P(X>300)$

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

$P(X>300)= 1-P(X$

And that would be the final answer for this case.
