Mr. Trainer is building a bookcase. He has two wooden boards that are each 8 feet long. He needs to cut the wooden boards into p

ieces that are 16 inches long. What is the greatest number of 16-inch pieces that Mr. Trainer can cut from the two wooden boards? (1 foot = 12 inches)

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of one of the boards = 8 feet

Converting to inches

1\ \text{foot}=12\ \text{inches}\\\Rightarrow 8\ \text{feet}=8\times 12=96\ \text{inches}

One cut is 16 inches

So, we divide the length of the board by 16

\dfrac{96}{16}=6

So, one board is cut into 6 pieces.

The other board is also 8 feet long.

So, the number of pieces the other board is cut into is also 6.

Hence, a total of 6+6=12 pieces of each 16 inches long can be cut from the two boards.

What is the component form of the vector whose tail is the point (-3,2) and whose head is the point (1, -6)?
Bess [88]

Answer:

  (4, -8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The components of a vector are found by subtracting the tail from the head.

__

  Head - Tail = (1, -6) -(-3, 2) = (1 -(-3), -6 -2) = (4, -8)

⇒ The component form is (4, -8), or maybe 4<em>i</em> -8<em>j</em>.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

There are many ways that the components of vectors can be described. The particular format you are expected to use will likely be found in your curriculum materials.

Suppose the heights of 18-year-old men are approximately normally distributed, with mean 65 inches and standard deviation 4 inch
Serhud [2]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>a)</u>

  • Given that ; X ~ N ( µ = 65 , σ = 4 )
  • P ( 64 < X < 66 )

From application of normal distribution ;

  • Z = ( X - µ ) / σ, Z = ( 64 - 65 ) / 4,  Z = -0.25
  • Z = ( 66 - 65 ) / 4,  Z = 0.25

Hence, P ( -0.25 < Z < 0.25 ) = P ( 64 < X < 66 ) = P ( Z < 0.25 ) - P ( Z < -0.25 ) P ( 64 < X < 66 ) = 0.5987 - 0.4013

  • P ( 64 < X < 66 ) = 0.1974

b) X ~ N ( µ = 65 , σ = 4 )

  • P ( 64 < X < 66 )

From normal distribution application ;

  • Z = ( X - µ ) / ( σ / √(n)), plugging in the values,
  • Z = ( 64 - 65 ) / ( 4 / √(12)) = Z = -0.866
  • Z = ( 66 - 65 ) / ( 4 / √(12)) = Z = 0.866

P ( -0.87 < Z < 0.87 )

  • P ( 64 < X < 66 ) = P ( Z < 0.87 ) - P ( Z < -0.87 )
  • P ( 64 < X < 66 ) = 0.8068 - 0.1932
  • P ( 64 < X < 66 ) = 0.6135

c) From the values gotten for (a) and (b), it is indicative that the probability in part (b) is much higher because the standard deviation is smaller for the x distribution.

R= m/2 (c + K) for k
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

                  \bold{K=\frac{2r}m-c=\frac{2r-cm}m}

Step-by-step explanation:

\bold{r= \frac m2 (c + K)}\\^{\div\frac m2}\qquad^{\div\frac m2}\\ \bold{r\cdot\frac2m=c+K}\\{}\ ^{-c}\qquad^{-c}\\\bold{\frac{2r}m-c=K}

Or if you mean r= m/[2(c + K)]

\bold{\quad r\ =\ \frac m{ 2(c + K)}}\\^{\cdot(c+K)}\quad^{\cdot(c+K)}\\ \bold{r(c+K)=\frac m2}\\{}\qquad ^{\div r}\qquad^{\div r}\\\bold{c+K=\frac m2\cdot\frac1r}\\{}\quad^{-c}\qquad^{-c}\\\bold{K=\frac m{2r}-c}
