Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

lets begin to set up this question. i personally find questions like these easiest when i begin to set up ideas to help my brain process it better, for example:

person a

person b

person c

person d

we know that each (person) must receive at least 1 candy. we also know that we have 7 candies. therefore if we want do draw this out :

person a- 1

person b- 1

person c- 1

person d -1

notice that we now have given away 4 of the 7 candies. now we have 3 candies left. we can simply:

person a- 2

person b-2

person c-2

person d- 1

but, keep in mind that there are still many more ways that we can distribute the candies to other kids. the question we are asked is how may ways can we do this. since i have already illustrated the question, you can either learn how to put this into an equation, or experiment how many variations there are. the answer, either way is 15.

I don't get what f(-10) means

It wants you to complete the function using -10 for x. . .

e.g: f(x) = 1/2x + 2

f(-10) = 1/2(-10) + 2
f(-10) = 3

The volume V of a cone varies jointly as the area of the base B and the height
seraphim [82]

Answer:

h = 9 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

V = kBh   where k is the constant of variation.

From the given info:

32 = k*16*6 = 96k

So k = 32/96 = 1/3.

So we have the equation of variation:

V = 1/3Bh

When V = 60 B = 20, so:

60 = 1/3 20h

20h = 60 * 3 = 180

h = 180 /20 = 9.

If in a right triangle, the given legs are a = 10 and b=16, then by using the Pythagorean Theorem find the hypotenuse, c.
Reika [66]

Answer:

c=2\sqrt{89}

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem is:

c^{2} =a^{2} +b^{2}

c^{2}=10^{2}+16^{2}   \\c^{2} =100+256\\c^{2}=356\\c=\sqrt{356}  \\c=2\sqrt{89}
