Answer:  244.95 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This scenario forms the shape of a right angled triangle with the shadow length being the triangle's length and the distance between the end of the shadow to the top of the building being the hypotenuse.

Use Pythagorean theorem:

c² = a² + b²

250² = 50² + b²

62,500 = 2,500 + b²

b²= 62,500 - 2,500

b² = 60,000

b = √60,000

b= 244.95 feet

Answer:

(0.55, 0.75)

Step-by-step explanation:

The range can be estimated to be 6 standard deviations wide.  Therefore, the standard deviation is:

σ = (0.72 - 0.42) / 6

σ = 0.05

The margin of error is ±2σ, so:

ME = ±0.10

Therefore, the interval estimate is:

(0.65 - 0.10, 0.65 + 0.10)

(0.55, 0.75)

Answer:  

2 hours:  3968  <u>[I don't understand the $ sign in the answer box]</u>

At midnight:  12137

Step-by-step explanation:

The bacteria are increasing by 15% every hour.  So for every hour we will have what we started with, plus 15% more.  

The "15% more" can be represented mathematically with (1 + 0.15) or 1.15.  Let's call this the "growth factor" and assign it the variable b.  b is (1 +  percent increase).

Since this per hour, in 1 hour we'll have (3000)*(1.15) = 3450

At the end of the second hour we're increased by 15% again:

(3450)*(1.15) = 3968.

Each additional hour add another (1.15) factor,  If we assign a to be the starting population, this can be represented by:

P = a(1.15)^t for this sample that increase 15% per hour.  t is time, in hours.  

If a represents the growth factor, and P is the total population, the general expression is

P = ab^t

Using this for a = 3000 and b = 1.15, we can find the total population at midnight after starting at 2PM.  That is a 10 hour period, so t = 10

P = (3000)*(1.15)^10

P = 12137

What is the least common denominator of the four fractions listed below 20 7/10, 20 3/4, 18 9/10, 20 18/25
Feliz [49]
So what you do is see all the denomenators and factor them (denomenaotrs are the bottom numbres)

10,4,10,25
10=2 times 5
4=2 times 2
10=2 times 5
25=5 times 5
we need to include all of them so we need at leas two 2's, and two 5's
2 times 2 times 5 times 5=100
leact common denomator is 100
