Answer:

  N = 5; only one rate is possible

Step-by-step explanation:

The values of the sets of chips are ...

  12 +9N +8N^2 +4N^3

and

  2 +N +N^3 +N^4

We want to find N such that the difference in value is zero:

  N^4 -3N^3 -8N^2 -8N -10 = 0

A graphing calculator can show us the roots. There is only one positive real root to this equation: N = 5.

The exchange rate N is 5. Only one rate is possible.

0.04 with 4 repeating as a fraction. Not the 04 repeating just the 4 is repeating. What is the answer???
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

2/45

Step-by-step explanation:

0.04... is the same as 0.1 * 0.4... because we are moving it up a decimal place, it's the same as multiplying by ten: we needed to multiply by a tenth to cancel that out. 0.4... is the same as 4/9 and 0.1 is the same as 1/10. We can rewrite the expression above as: (\frac{1}{10} )(\frac{4}{9} ). Multiplying the two fractions results in 4/90 which can be simplified to 2/45.

Elena bought a backpacking tent to take with her on hiking trips.
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Question 1 = c) Medium: 88 ft²

Question 2 = d) 46.7 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1

We would be solving this question by finding the surface area of the tent. The shape of the tent is a square based pyramid.

The surface area of a square based pyramid(tent) =

a² + 2ah

Where in the diagram,

a = base length = 4 ft

h = height of the pyramid (tent ) = 9ft

Surface area = 4² + 2 × 4 × 9

= 16 + 72

= 88ft²

Therefore, the size tarp should she purchase is Medium: 88 ft²

Question 2

For question 2, from the attached diagram, we can see that the diagram is a square based pyramid.

To calculate the amount of water that would fill the square based pyramid, we would have to find the Volume of the tent(square based pyramid).

The formula for the Volume of the tent(square based pyramid) = 1/3(a²h)

Where a = base edge

h = height of the pyramid.

From the diagram,

a = base edge => 4ft.

From the question,

h = height of the tent is given as how tall the tent is = 8.75ft.

Therefore, 1/3(a²h)

1/3 × (4ft)²× 8.75ft

= 46.67ft³

Approximately = 46.7ft³

Therefore, the amount of water it would it take to fill the tent, if the tent is 8.75 ft tall is 46.7ft³
