Answer:
the container is 1/4 full at 9:58 AM
Step-by-step explanation:
since the volume doubles every minute , the formula for calculating the volume V at any time t is
V(t)=V₀*2^-t , where t is in minutes back from 10 AM and V₀= container volume
thus for t=1 min (9:59 AM) the volume is V₁=V₀/2 (half of the initial one) , for t=2 (9:58 AM) is V₂=V₁/2=V₀/4 ...
therefore when the container is 1/4 full the volume is V=V₀/4 , thus replacing in the equation we obtain
V=V₀*2^-t
V₀/4 = V₀*2^-t
1/4 = 2^-t
appling logarithms
ln (1/4) = -t* ln 2
t = - ln (1/4)/ln 2 = ln 4 /ln 2 = 2*ln 2 / ln 2 = 2
thus t=2 min before 10 AM → 9:58 AM
therefore the container is 1/4 full at 9:58 AM
Answer:
Yes that is how to solve it,
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Refer to the following information on full-term births in the United States over a given period of time.
Type of Birth Number of Births
Single birth 47,200,000
Twins 600,000
Triplets 3000
Quadruplets 200
Use this information to estimate the probabilities of the following events.
(a) A randomly selected pregnant woman who reaches full term delivers twins. (Give the answer to three significant figures.)
(b) A randomly selected pregnant woman who reaches full term delivers quadruplets. (Give the answer to three significant figures.)
(c) A randomly selected pregnant woman who reaches full term gives birth to more than a single child. (Give the answer to three significant figures
Add them together and find the area of both
