Answer:

1/4 mile

Step-by-step explanation:

The length and width of a square are the same.

The length is 1/4 mile, so the width of the park is 1/4 mile.

<h2>Problem:</h2>

A square park has an area of 1/16 square miles and a length of 1/4 mile. What is the width of the park?

<h2>The formula for width is:</h2>

$\quad \quad \quad \boxed{ \tt{width = \frac{area}{length}}}$

$\quad \quad \quad{\tt{w = \frac{1}{16} \div \frac{1}{4} = \boxed{\tt{0.25}}}}$

<h2 /><h2>Lets convert it to fraction:</h2>

$\quad \quad \quad \boxed{ \tt{w = 0.25}} \: ➡ \boxed{ \tt{w = \frac{1}{4}}}$

<h2 /><h2>So the value of width is:</h2>

$\boxed{ \tt{w = \frac{1}{4}}}$

The sequence$$1,2,1,2,2,1,2,2,2,1,2,2,2,2,1,2,2,2,2,2,1,2,\dots$$consists of $1$'s separated by blocks of $2$'s with $n$ $2$'s i

kicyunya [14]

Consider the lengths of consecutive 1-2 blocks.

block 1 - 1, 2 - length 2

block 2 - 1, 2, 2 - length 3

block 3 - 1, 2, 2, 2 - length 4

block 4 - 1, 2, 2, 2, 2 - length 5

and so on.

Recall the formula for the sum of consecutive positive integers,

$\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^j i = 1 + 2 + 3 + \cdots + j = \frac{j(j+1)}2 \implies \sum_{i=2}^j = \frac{j(j+1) - 2}2$

Now,

$1234 = \dfrac{j(j+1)-2}2 \implies 2470 = j(j+1) \implies j\approx49.2016$

which means that the 1234th term in the sequence occurs somewhere about 1/5 of the way through the 49th 1-2 block.

In the first 48 blocks, the sequence contains 48 copies of 1 and 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 47 copies of 2, hence they make up a total of

$\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^48 1 + \sum_{i=1}^{48} i = 48+\frac{48(48+1)}2 = 1224$

numbers, and their sum is

$\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^{48} 1 + \sum_{i=1}^{48} 2i = 48 + 48(48+1) = 48\times50 = 2400$

This leaves us with the contribution of the first 10 terms in the 49th block, which consist of one 1 and nine 2s with a sum of $1+9\times2=19$ .

So, the sum of the first 1234 terms in the sequence is 2419.

How does the Counting Principle help when determining the sample space for a probability distribution?

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

This is also known as the Counting rule.

The Fundamental Counting Principle is used in determining all the possible outcomes and the total possible ways different events can be combined with each other. It is usually done by multiplying all the events together to get the total possible outcome. Doing this also helps in determining the sample space of a probability.

For example there are events a, b and c. The total sample space or possible outcome will be a*b*c.

A function f is defined by f(x) = 2x - 3. By writing the full working, write the values of (a) f(0) (b) f(-2) (c) f(3) (d) f(-1)

AlladinOne [14]

A) f(x) = 2x - 3
f(0) = 2(0) - 3
f(0) = 0 - 3
f(0) = -3

b) f(x) = 2x - 3
f(-2) = 2(-2) - 3
f(-2) = -4 - 3
f(-2) = -7

c) f(x) = 2x - 3
f(3) = 2(3) - 3
f(3) = 6 - 3
f(3) = 3

d) f(x) = 2x - 3
f(-1) = 2(-1) - 3
f(-1) = -2 - 3
f(-1) = -5
