Mathematics

Let's say we already did the work and found the result of 48*19. That result is 912.

When it comes to multiplying 0.048 and 1.9, we're going to need to do two things to transform those numbers into 48 and 19.

Move the decimal point of 0.048 exactly three spaces to the right. This is the same as multiplying by 1000. So 1000*0.048 = 48

Move the decimal point of 1.9 exactly one space to the right. This is the same as multiplying by 10. So 10*1.9 = 19

Overall, we've multiplied by 1000*10 = 10,000. This means 48*19 = 912 is 10,000 times larger compared to the result of 0.048*1.9

To fix this, we need to divide by 10,000 to get 912/(10,000) = 0.0912

Dividing by 10,000 is the same as moving the decimal point to the left four spaces. Note how 10,000 = 10^4.

I recommend using your calculator to see that 0.048*1.9 = 0.0912 which matches with the previous result we got.

A circle with the equation (x + 6)2 + (y + 3)2 = 16 is reflected over the line x = 2.

fomenos

Answer: $(x-10)^{2}+(y+3)^{2}=16$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the center of the original circle is (-6, -3). After reflecting this over the line x=2, the new center is now (10, -3).

Thus, the equation of the circle is $(x-10)^{2}+(y+3)^{2}=16$ .

Isabella save 2 nickels today, if she doubles the number of Nicole, she saves every day, how many days, including today, will it

Elden [556K]

Answer:

8 days

Step-by-step explanation:

On day 8, Isabella will save 256 nickels, bringing her total to 510.

_____

The number of nickels saved on day n is 2^n. The total is 2^(n+1)-2.

_____

The above can be written down from your knowledge of binary sequences. If you want a more formal development, read on.

The number of nickels saved on day n is a geometric sequence with first term 2 and common ratio 2. The n-th term of the sequence is ...

an = a1·r^(n-1) = 2·2^(n-1) = 2^n

The sum of n terms of the sequence is ...

S = a1(r^n -1)/(r -1) = 2(2^n -1)/(2-1)

S = 2^(n+1) -2

We want S > 500, so ...

500 < 2^(n+1) -2

502 < 2^(n+1)

251 < 2^n

log(251) < n·log(2)

n > log(251)/log(2)

n > 7.97 . . . . . . . . 8 days or more to save more than 500 nickels

What is the constant of proportionality in the equation y=2xy

dybincka [34]

Answer:

2 is the constant of proportionality in the equation y = 2x .

Step-by-step explanation:

Definition of constant of proportionality

When two variables are directly proportional to each others .

Let us assume that u and v .

u \propto vu∝v

Than the equation becomes u= kv

Where k is called the constant of proportionality .

Thus in the question x and y are proportional variables .

i.e

y \propto xy∝x

y = kx

Where k is called the constant of proportionality .

Compare the equation y = kx with y=2x .

Thus

k = 2

Therefore 2 is the constant of proportionality in the equation y = 2x

A person invest $1200 in an account that earns 2% interest compound quarterly. Find when the value of the investment reaches $15

Basile [38]

Answer:

After 11 years the value of the investment reaches $1500.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula used for finding time (when the value reaches certain amount) is:

$A= P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

where A= Future VAlue

P= Principal Value

r= rate of interest (in decimal)

n= no of times investment is compounded

t= time

Putting the values given and finding Time t,

A= $1500

P= $1200

r= 2% or 0.02

n= 4 (compound quarterly)

$A= P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

$1500= 1200(1+\frac{0.02}{4})^{4t}$

Dividing both sides by 1200 and solving 0.02/4 = 0.005

$1.25= (1+0.005)^{4t}$

$1.25= (1.005)^{4t}$

Since t is in power we take the logarithm ln on both sides.

The rule of logarithm says that the exponent can be multiplied with the base when taking log

$\ln1.25=ln( 1.005)^{4t}\\\ln1.25=4t * ln( 1.005)\\0.22 = 4t * 0.005\\Solving\,\,\\\frac{0.22}{4*0.005} = t\\=> t= 11\, years$

Four different paints are advertised as having the same drying time. To check the manufacturer's claims, five samples were teste

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data provided is for the dying time of four different types of paint.

One-way ANOVA can be used to determine whether all the four paints have the same drying time.

Use Excel to perform the one-way ANOVA.

Go to Data → Data Analysis → Anova: Single Factor

A dialog box will open.

Select the data.

Select "Grouping" as Columns.

Press OK.

The output is attached below.

The required values are as follows:

(1)

Sum of Squares of Treatment (Between Subjects):

SST = 330

(2)

Sum of Squares of Error (Within Subjects):

SSE = 692

(3)

Mean Squares Treatment (Between Subjects):

MST = 110

(4)

Mean Squares Error (Within Subjects):

MSE = 43.25
