Tobias sent a chain letter to his friends, asking them to forward the letter to more friends. The number of people who receive t

he email increases by a factor of 4 every
9.1 weeks, and can be modeled by a function, P, which depends on the amount of time, t (in weeks).
Tobias initially sent the chain letter to 37 friends.

Write a function that models the number of people who receive the email t weeks since Tobias initially sent the chain letter.

Answer:

        P(t)=37\cdot 4^{t/9.1}

Explanation:

This is an exponential growing: there is a constant growing<em> factor </em>which multiplies the value number of letters sent every week.

The growing factor <em>4 letters every 9.1 weeks</em> means that every 9.1 weeks the number of letters is multiplied by 4.

Then, if the number of weeks is t, the number of times the number of letters increase is t/9.1.

Then, the exponential<em> function</em> <em>that models the number of people who receive the email t weeks since Tobias initially sent the chain letter</em>, has the form:

        P(t)=Initial\text{ }value\cdot 4^{(t/9.1)}

<em>Tobias initially sent the chain letter to 37 friends</em>; thus, the initial value is 37, and the complete function is:

        P(t)=37\cdot 4^{t/9.1}, where t is the number of weeks since Tobias initially sent the chain letter.

Through (4,3), perpendicular to 2x-5y=7
dedylja [7]
First you want to get it to y=mx+b. to do this you have to get the y by itself on one side. 2x-5y=7 you bring -5y over and get 2x=5y+7. Then bring the 7 over and get 2x-7=5y and finally get rid of the 5 by dividing both sides by it 2x-7/5 turns into 2/5x-7/5 and 5y becomes y. Y=2/5X-7/5. Next to get the slope of a line perpendicular to another you first flip the original slope (2/5x to 5/2x) and then reverse the sign (5/2x to -5/2x). and now you have Y=-5/2X+B. To get B you must put in what you know (X is 4, Y is 3) Get 3=-5/2(4)+B and solve. 
3=-5/2(4)+B to 3=-10+B. bring -10 over and get 13=B and put that in. Finally you have Y=-5/2X+13.

Twenty-seven minus 3/2of a number (x) is not more than 36. What is the number?
Zigmanuir [339]

Twenty-seven minus 3/2of a number (x) is not more than 36.

27 - (3/2)X = 36

What is the number?

(3/2)X = 27 - 36 = - 9

X = (- 9x2)/3 = -18/3 = -6

Check

36 = 27 - (3/2)X =  27 - (3/2)x(-6) = 27 - (-18/2) = 27 - (-9) = 36

Are your finances, buying habits, medical records, and phone calls really private? A real concern for many adults is that comput
Andrej [43]

Answer:

a)There is a 4.88% probability that none is concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls.

b)There is a 7.89% probability that all are concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls.

c)There is a 37.23% probability that exactly two are concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls.

Step-by-step explanation:

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials in an experiment which has two possible outcomes (commonly called a binomial experiment).

It is given by the following formula:

P = C_{n,x}.p^{n}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of a success.

In this problem, a success is being concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls.

53% of adults are concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls, so p = 0.53

(a) Out of four adults, none is concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls.

Four adults, so n = 4.

Is the probability of 0 successes, so x = 0.

P = C_{n,x}.p^{n}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P = C_{4,0}.(0.53)^{0}.(0.47)^{4}

P = 0.0488

There is a 4.88% probability that none is concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls.

(b) Out of four adults, all are concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls.

Four adults, so n = 4.

Is the probability of 4 successes, so x = 4.

P = C_{n,x}.p^{n}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P = C_{4,0}.(0.53)^{4}.(0.47)^{0}

P = 0.0789

There is a 7.89% probability that all are concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls.

(c) Out of four adults, exactly two are concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls.

Four adults, so n = 4.

Is the probability of 4 successes, so x = 2.

P = C_{n,x}.p^{n}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P = C_{4,2}.(0.53)^{2}.(0.47)^{2}

P = 0.3723

There is a 37.23% probability that exactly two are concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls.

Question 1:

The area of the triangle is 9\frac{5}{8} cm², if you want it rounded to the nearest whole number it will be 10 cm²

Question 2:

The area of the parallelogram is 304.5 m²

Question 3:

The ratio of grilled chicken salads sold to the total number of lunches sold is 1 : 3 in the simplest form

Question 4:

The ratio of odd to even digits in the following number:  7,208,631

is 3 : 4

Question 5:

5 tons is equal to 10,000 pounds

Question 6:

A table measures 3 feet across is 36 inches across

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1:

The formula of the area of a triangle is A=\frac{1}{2}bh , where

  • b is the base of the triangle
  • h is the height of the triangle

∵ The base of the triangle = 5\frac{1}{2} cm

∵ The height of the triangle = 3\frac{1}{2} cm

- Change the mixed numbers to improper fractions

∵ 5\frac{1}{2} = \frac{(5*2)+1}{2}=\frac{11}{2}

∵ 3\frac{1}{2} = \frac{(3*2)+1}{2}=\frac{7}{2}

∴ A=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{11}{2})(\frac{7}{2})=\frac{77}{8} cm²

- To change the improper fraction to mixed number divide 77 by 8

∵ 77 ÷ 8 = 9 and remainder 5 (8 × 9 = 72 , 77 - 72 = 5)

∴ 77 ÷ 8 = 9\frac{5}{8}

∴ A=9\frac{5}{8} cm²

The area of the triangle is 9\frac{5}{8} cm²

If you want to round it to the nearest whole number the area will

be 10 cm²

Question 2:

The formula of the area of a parallelogram is A = b h , where

  • b is the base of the parallelogram
  • h is the height of this base of the parallelogram

∵ The base of the parallelogram = 14.5 m

∵ Its height = 21 m

∵ A = b h

∴ A = 14.5 × 21 = 304.5 m²

The area of the parallelogram is 304.5 m²

Question 3:

∵ The cafeteria sold 200 grilled cheese sandwiches, 100 tacos, and

   150 grilled chicken salads

∴ The cafeteria sold = 200 + 100 + 150 = 450 lunches

- To find the ratio between the grilled chicken salads sold to the total

   number of lunches sold divide them and simplify the answer to the

   lowest term

→  G.C.S    :    Lunches

→  150       :    450 ⇒ divide both by 10

→  15          :   45 ⇒ divide both by 5

→  3           :   9 ⇒ divide both by 3

→  1            :    3

The ratio of grilled chicken salads sold to the total number of lunches sold is 1 : 3 in the simplest form

Question 4:

The even numbers are the numbers whose one digit is 0 , 2 , 4 , 6 , 8

The odd numbers are the numbers whose one digit is 1 , 3 , 5 , 7 , 9

∵ The number is 7,208,631

∵ The odd digits are 7 , 3 , 1

∴ There are 3 odd digits

∵ The even numbers are 2 , 0 , 8 , 6

∴ there are 4 even digits

∴ The ratio of odd to even digits is 3 : 4

The ratio of odd to even digits in the following number:  7,208,631

is 3 : 4

Question 5:

∵ One ton is equal to 2000 pounds

∵ There are 5 tons

→  Ton    :    Pound

→  1           :    2000

→  5          :    x

Use the cross multiplication

∵ 1 × x = 5 × 2000

∴ x = 10,000 pounds

5 tons is equal to 10,000 pounds

Question 6:

∵ A table measures 3 feet across

∵ 1 foot = 12 inches

∴ 3 × 12 = 36 inches

A table measures 3 feet across is 36 inches across
