The flagpole at school casts a shadow that is 18 feet long. A student nearby is 5.5 feet tall and casts a shadow that is 3 feet

Answer:

33 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of the student to their shadow and flagpole to its shadow are equal, then you can use the proportion

5.5/3 = x/18 and cross multiply to find x.

5.5 × 18 = 99

3 × x = 3x

3x/3 = x, 99/3 = 33.

x = 33.

4> Solve by using Laplace transform: y'+5y'+4y=0; y(0)=3 y'(o)=o
harina [27]

Answer:

y=3e^{-4t}

Step-by-step explanation:

y''+5y'+4y=0

Applying the Laplace transform:

\mathcal{L}[y'']+5\mathcal{L}[y']+4\mathcal{L}[y']=0

With the formulas:

\mathcal{L}[y'']=s^2\mathcal{L}[y]-y(0)s-y'(0)

\mathcal{L}[y']=s\mathcal{L}[y]-y(0)

\mathcal{L}[x]=L

s^2L-3s+5sL-3+4L=0

Solving for L

L(s^2+5s+4)=3s+3

L=\frac{3s+3}{s^2+5s+4}

L=\frac{3(s+1)}{(s+1)(s+4)}

L=\frac3{s+4}

Apply the inverse Laplace transform with this formula:

\mathcal{L}^{-1}[\frac1{s-a}]=e^{at}

y=3\mathcal{L}^{-1}[\frac1{s+4}]=3e^{-4t}

Rita is making a beaded bracelet. She has a collection of 160 blue beads, 80 gray beads, and 240 pink beads. What is the estimat
a_sh-v [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Rita is making a beaded bracelet. She has a collection of 160 blue beads, 80 gray beads, and 240 pink beads. We are to calculate the probability that Rita will need to pick atleast 5 beads before she picks a grey bead from her collection.

Prob for drawing atleast 5 beads before she picks a grey bead from her collection

= 1-Prob for drawing atleast one grey beed in the first 5 draws.

(Because these two are complementary events)

no of grey beeds drawn in first 5 trials is

Bi=(5,1/6)

Prob for drawing atleast one grey beed in the first 5 draws.

=1-Prob of no grey

Hence required prob=P(X=0 in first 5 draws)

= 0.4018

6th beeds onwards can be grey also.

Nearest answer is c)0.45

Who’s right? And why?
kvasek [131]

Answer: Raymond is correct

The DJ charges $75 an hour.

=================================================

Explanation:

x = number of hours

y = total cost

The DJ does a 3-hour event for $275. This means one point is (x,y) = (3,275)

Another point is (5,425) because a 5-hour event costs $425.

Let's find the slope of the line through these two points.

(x_1,y_1) = (3,275) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2)  = (5,425)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{425 - 275}{5 - 3}\\\\m = \frac{150}{2}\\\\m = 75\\\\

The slope is 75, meaning that each time y goes up by 75, x goes up by 1.

Flipped around it means each time x goes up by 1, y goes up by 75.

This means each time we add on an extra hour, the cost goes up by $75.

The DJ charges $75 an hour. Raymond is correct.
