for each piece of paper Kevin has 4 divided pieces

so for 3 pieces of paper Kevin has = 4*3

so Kevin has 12 fourths of papers

Kevin has 12 fourths

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Order of Operations in Mathematics follow this following rule :

Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication and Division
Addition and Subtraction

This rule is known as the PEMDAS method.

In working on a mathematical problem, we first calculate operation that is in parentheses, follow by exponentiation, then multiplication or division, and finally addition or subtraction.

Let us tackle the problem !

<u>Given:</u>

<em>Kevin divides 3 pieces of paper into fourths.</em>

<em>In order to find the number of fourths that Kevin has, it can be done as follows:</em>

$\texttt{Number of Fourths} = \texttt{Number Pieces of Paper} \div \texttt{One Fourth}$

$\texttt{Number of Fourths} =3 \div \frac{1}{4}$

$\texttt{Number of Fourths} =3 \times \frac{4}{1}$

$\texttt{Number of Fourths} = \frac{3 \times 4}{1}$

$\texttt{Number of Fourths} = \frac{12}{1}$

$\texttt{Number of Fourths} = \boxed {12}$

<h2>Conclusion :</h2>

If Kevin divides 3 pieces of paper into fourths , then he will have 12 fourths

Let x, y, and z denote the side lengths of the box, with the bottom face having dimensions x-by-y and z is the height. Naturally this means each of x, y, and z must be greater than 0.

The box has a fixed volume of 252 cm³, so

xyz = 252

The surface area of the box is

2xy + 2xz + 2yz

and we're told that the material cost for each face is different. The total cost of the material needed to make the box is given by

C (x, y, z) = ($5/cm²) xy + ($2/cm²) xy + 2 ($3/cm²) (xz + yz)

or, omitting units and simplifying,

C (x, y, z) = 7xy + 6 (x + y) z

In the volume constraint, solve for any one variable; I'll do z.

z = 252/(xy)

Substitute this into the cost function:

C (x, y, 252/(xy)) = 7xy + 1512 (x + y)/(xy)

Since this is now a function of 2 variables, I'll rewrite this as

C* (x, y) = 7xy + 1512 (1/y + 1/x)

Compute the partial derivatives of C and find the critical points:

∂C/∂x = 7y - 1512/x² = 0 ⇒ x² y = 216

∂C/∂y = 7x - 1512/y² = 0 ⇒ x y² = 216

It follows that

x² y = x y² ⇒ x = y

Just like before, we can think about C* as yet another function but only of 1 variable,

C** (x) = 7x² + 3024/x

Now find the critical points of C** :

dC**/dx = 14x - 3024/x² = 0 ⇒ x = 6

All of this tells us that C (x, y, z) has a critical point when x = y = 6 and z = 252/6² = 7. So the box that costs the least has dimensions 6 × 6 × 7 cm, which gives the box a surface area of 240 cm² and a total cost of $756.

An SRS of size 20 is drawn from a population that has a normal distribution. The sample has a mean of 122.5 and a standard devia

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The value is $\sigma_{\= x} = 1.789$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is n = 20

The sample mean is $\= x = 122.5$

The standard deviation is $s = 8$

Generally the standard error of the mean is mathematically represented as

$\sigma_{\= x} = \frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$

=> $\sigma_{\= x} = \frac{8}{\sqrt{20 } }$

=> $\sigma_{\= x} = 1.789$

The Graph of a function g is shown below. Find the following: g(10)

Yanka [14]

Answer: the graph is not shown, but I'll try to explain how hypothetically, you would be able to graph g(10). If you are given something like an image of the graph, find slope and y-intercept first. The y-intercept is the point (0, #), and is on the y-axis. After finding what g(x) = mx + b <- slope intercept form is, substitute 10 for x, then solve.

Given that f(x) = 5x^2-3x+7 and f(g(x))=(5x^4)/9 + (17x^2)/3 + 21. Find all possible values for the sum of the coefficients in t

shtirl [24]

steps

(x) = 5x^2-3x+7

refine

x=5x^2-3x+7

Switch sides

5x^2-3x+7-x=x-x

Subtract x from both sides

5x^2-4x+7=0

Solve with the quadratic formula
