Answer:

a-3

Step-by-step explanation:

5(3x-1)=40

15x-5=40

15x=40+5

15x=45

x=45/15

x=3

Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the 5: 15x-5=40

Add 5 from both sides: 15x=45

Divide 15 by both sides: 3

How many ways are there to select a 5-card hand from a regular deck such that the hand contains at least one card from each suit

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

There are 685464 ways of selecting the 5-card hand

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the hand has 5 cards and there should be at least 1 card for each suit, then there should be 3 suits that appear once in the hand, and one suit that apperas twice.

In order to create a possible hand, first we select the suit that will appear twice. There are 4 possibilities for this. For that suit, we select the 2 cards that appear with the respective suit. Since there are 13 cards for each suit, then we have ${13 \choose 2} = 78$ possibilities. Then we pick one card of all remaining 3 suits. We have 13 ways to pick a card in each case.

This gives us a total of 4*78*13³ = 685464 possibilities to select the hand.

A right circular cone is undergoing a transformation in such a way that the radius of the cone is increasing at a rate of 1/2 in

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

The volume is decreasing at the rate of 1.396 cubic inches per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Cone

$\frac{dr}{dt} =\frac{1}{2}$ --- rate of the radius

$\frac{dh}{dt} =-\frac{1}{3}$ --- rate of the height

$r = 2$

$h = \frac{1}{3}$

Required

Determine the rate of change of the cone volume

The volume of a cone is:

$V = \frac{\pi}{3}r^2h$

Differentiate with respect to time (t)

$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{\pi}{3}(2rh \frac{dr}{dt} + r^2 \frac{dh}{dt})$

Substitute values for the known variables

$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{\pi}{3}(2*2*\frac{1}{3}* \frac{1}{2} - 2^2 *\frac{1}{3})$

$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{\pi}{3}(\frac{4}{3}* \frac{1}{2} - \frac{4}{3})$

$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{\pi}{3}(\frac{4}{3}(\frac{1}{2} - 1))$

$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{\pi}{3}(\frac{4}{3}*- 1)$

$\frac{dV}{dt} = -\frac{\pi}{3}*\frac{4}{3}$

$\frac{dV}{dt} = -\frac{22}{7*3}*\frac{4}{3}$

$\frac{dV}{dt} = -\frac{22}{21}*\frac{4}{3}$

$\frac{dV}{dt} = -\frac{88}{63}$

$\frac{dV}{dt} =-1.396in^3/min$

The volume is decreasing at the rate of 1.396 cubic inches per minute

Find g(2/3). Simplify your answer. Type an exact answer, using radicals as needed).

ki77a [65]

The solution is 2sqrt77/77. You just fill in 2/3 for the x's. When you do that, you do that you get (2/3)/sqrt(9-[2/3]^2) which, simplified, is (2/3)/sqrt(9-[4/9]). Now use the common denominator under the radical of 9 to get (2/3)/sqrt([81-4]\9). Simplifying even further gives you (2/3)/([sqrt(77)]/3). Now do that division by multiplying 2/3 by the reciprocal of ([sqrt(77)]/3) to get 2/sqrt77. I rationalized the denominator to get that result up there.
