Answer:

An orbital is a wave function for an electron defined by the three quantum numbers, n, ℓ and ml. Orbitals define regions in space where you are likely to find electrons. s orbitals (ℓ = 0) are spherical shaped. p orbitals (ℓ = 1) are dumb-bell shaped.

The expression 87000(1.12)^t represents the population of a town t hears after 1996. By what percent does the population increas

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

12%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage increase of something is often represented in a formula of a format like this:

X=Ar^t

Where X represents the total amount after t years.

A or 87000 in this case represents the starting value, which is this case is the starting population of the town. r or 1.12 represents the percentage increase, if it increases by 12% than the next year has 1.12 times as many people as the previous year so this is represented by 1.12 rather than say 0.12 which would indicate a 88% decrease instead. t is the time, no. of years in this case, that has elapsed since 1996.

This formula basically means that a town population of 87000 increases by 12% for every year of time that elapses.

You have a job filling cylinder-shaped tubes with flavored sugar. Your boss asks you to find the volume of a tube that is 21 inc

Finger [1]

To find the volume of the tube you will use the formula for finding the volume of a cylinder.

V = pi x r^2 x h
3.14 x 0.5^2 x 21
V = 16.485 cubic inches

The approximate volume of the tube is 16.49 cubic inches.

polet [3.4K]

the correct question in the attached figure

we know that

the probability
that a witness picks a particular person by chance-----> P=1/5

the probability
that all 7 witnesses would pick the same person-----> P=1/5^7=0.0000128

the answer is the option B 0.0000128

There are a variety of problems in which the number of witnesses change, for example
....find the probability that all 9 witnesses would pick the same person

in this case, the probability would be-------> P=1/5^9=0.000000512
