Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
The signs didn't really "swap". Instead, the whole function was divided by -1, or we could say the function was divided by -3. That would turn:
-18x² - 15x + 3 = 0
into
(-18 / -3)x² - (15 / -3)x + (3 / -3) = 0
6x² + 5x - 1 = 0
And that gives the "swapped signs".
-1^3 - -1^2 +1= -1. ...........
Answer:
24 cubes
Step-by-step explanation:
You can figure this a couple of ways.
I usually find it easiest to figure in terms of the number of cubes each dimension represents. The vertical dimension (3/2 cm) is the length of 3 cubes; the front-back dimension (2 cm) is the length of 4 cubes, and the width (1 cm) is the length of 2 cubes.
The total number of cubes required is the product of the dimensions in cube-lengths: 3×4×2 = 24 cubes.

Another way to figure this is to compute the prism volume in the given dimensions (cm³) and the cube volume in the same dimensions, then find the number of cube volumes in the prism volume.
Prism volume = l×w×h = (2 cm)(1 cm)(3/2 cm) = 3 cm³
Cube volume = (1/2 cm)³ = 1/8 cm³
Then the number of cubes that will fit in the prism is ...
(3 cm³)/(1/8 cm³) = 3×8 = 24 . . . . cubes
Given:
The number of male professors = 15.
The number of female professors = 9.
The number of male teaching assistants = 6.
The number of female teaching assistants = 12.
A person is selected randomly from the group.
Required:
We need to find the probability that the selected person is a professor or a male.
Explanation:
The total number of people in the group = 15+9+6+12 = 42
n(S) =The total number of people in the group
Let A be the event that the selected person is a professor or a male.
The number of people who are professors or male = 15+9+6 = 30
n(A)= The number of people who are professors or male.
Let P(A) be the probability that the selected person is a professor or a male.
Final answer:
The probability that the selected person is a professor or a male is 5/7.
I would use the pythagorean theorem to find the lengths of each side. a² + b² = c².
Side AB is one we're looking for. If you make other right triangle with that same side you can see that one length is 4 and the other is 3. So, 4² + 3² = c² → 25 = c² → 5 = c. Side AB is length 5.
Side AC is another. Do the same with that side and you get that one length is 4 and the other is 3. (This is the same one as above) so side AC is length 5.
Side BC is the last one. One of the lengths is 1 and the other is 1 → 1² + 1² = c² → 2 = c² → 1.414213562 = c so side BC is approximately length 1.41.
Add each length up and you get a perimeter of roughly 11.4
