Answer:

  18 cubes

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that the 45° angle is measured between the cut plane and the face of the 4×4×4 cube. For the purpose of figuring this out we have defined the cube to lie with its upper front corner at (x, y, z) = (0, 0, 0), and its diagonally opposite corner to lie at (x, y, z) = (4, 4, -4). The cut plane has equation ...

  x/4 +y/4 -z/√8 -1 = 0

For a given small cube corner point (x, y, z), the diagonally opposite corner point will be (x +1, y+1, z-1). We have assumed that a small cube is cut if its diagonally opposite corner points lie on opposite sides of the cut plane. The side of the cut plane the corner lies on will be indicated by the sign of the sum ...

  x/4 +y/4 -z/√8 -1

For the 64 corners of interest, we can use a spreadsheet to calculate whether the cube corner and its diagonal opposite lie on opposite sides of the cut plane.

We find that 9 cubes on the top layer are cut, 6 cubes on the second layer, and 3 cubes on the 3rd layer are cut, for a total of 18 cut cubes. The entire bottom layer is untouched by the cut plane, which exits the z-axis at -√8 ≈ -2.8, above the top of the bottom layer at z = -3.

__

The attachment shows the spreadsheet output for the top layer of cubes. Even values ±4 indicate the entire cube is on one side of the cut plane. Even values ±2 indicate the cube straddles the cut plane (is cut).

Odd values (±1 or ±3) or 0 indicate a corner of the cube lies on the cut plane. This is only the case for the top plane of cubes, where the face diagonal is the line of intersection.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

The second attachment shows the 4×4 array of cubes with the cut lines at each layer. There is no cut line between layers 3 and 4, because the cut plane exits the cube above that layer. The cut cubes on each layer are ones that lie between the cut line on the plane above and the cut line on the plane below. (Here, we're using "cut line" to mean the line of intersection between the cut plane and the plane bounding a cube layer.)

the number of defectives in 10 different samples of 50 observations each is the following: 5, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 1, 4, 2, 3. what is
Law Incorporation [45]

The estimate of the population proportion of defectives is 0.05.

Given that,

There are 10 different samples of 50 observations, that is, total of 500 observations.

To find : The estimate of the population proportion of defectives

And total number of defectives from 500 observations is (5+1+1+2+3+3+1+4+2+3) = 25

Thus, the point estimate for the population proportion defectives will be,

=25/500=0.05

or just obtain the individual proportion of each sample and then take their average to obtain the same result.

Thus, the point estimate for the population proportion defectives will be 0.05

Which of the following is the correct graph of the solution to the inequality −8 greater than or equal to −5x + 2 &gt; −38? (1 p
Svetlanka [38]

The inequality should read:

-8 \geq -5x + 2 > -38

Subtract 2 from all the terms:

-10 \geq -5x > -40

Divide all the terms by -5 to get x by itself (note that you flip the inequality signs as you divide by a negative):

\boxed{2 \leq x < 8}

The inequality is 2 ≤ x < 8.

A closed dot represents ≤, and an open dot represents <. Since x can represent all values between 2 and 8, you will shade in between 2 and 8 on the number line. x is greater than or equal to 2, so there will be a closed dot on 2. x is less than 8, so there will be an open dot on 8.

The answer is 'number line with a closed dot on 2 and an open dot on 8 and shading in between'.

Written as a simplified polynomial in standard form, what is the result when
Naddika [18.5K]

Step-by-step explanation:

7x+10 - (x+2)^2

7x+10 - (x^2 + 2x + 4)

7x+ 10 - x^2 - 2x - 4

5x + 6 - x^2

then if u have to find the value of x then put the value of a = 1,b = 5,c = 6 in quadratic formula (-b + under root b^2 - 4ac / 2a) or (- b - under root b^2 - 4ac / 2a) it will gives the value of x...

HOPE it u..!!

edit - do let me knw that it's right or not..!!
