Answer:

a) 580 - 16n

b) 9850 - 271.72n

Step-by-step explanation:

a) starting number of bales = 580

each day, the farmer feeds out 2 bales of hay to each yard. he has 8 yards, so he feeds out 2 bales 8 times for a total of 2 * 8 = 16 bales. Therefore, he loses 16 bales each day

After the first day, he has 580-16 = 564 bales. After the second, he has 564-16 = 548 bales, and so on. He loses 16 bales n times for n days, and as a result, his final amount of bales is

original amount - amount lost = 580 - 16n

First, we can calculate how much a bale weighs.

average = sum/count = 9850 kg / 580 ≈ 17 kg

Therefore, as he loses 16 bales of hay, he loses 17 kg 16 times, or approximately 271.72 kg of hay every day. For n days, he loses 271.72n kg. This brings his final amount to be

starting - amount lost = 9850 - 271.72n

How many ways can six of the letters of the word ALGORITHM be selected 8. How many ways can the letters of the word ALGORITHM be

SCORPION-xisa [38]

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

The number of letters in word "ALGORITHM" = 9

The number of combinations to select r things from n things is given by :-

$C(n,r)=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$

Now, the number of combinations to select 6 letters from 9 letters will be :-

$C(9,8)=\dfrac{9!}{6!(9-6)!}=\dfrac{9\times8\times7\times6!}{6!\times3!}=84$

Thus , the number of ways can six of the letters of the word ALGORITHM=84

The number of ways to arrange n things in a row : $n!$

So, the number of ways can the letters of the word ALGORITHM be arranged in a be seated together in the row :-

$9!=362880$

If GOR comes together, then we consider it as one letter, then the total number of letters will be = 1+6=7

Number of ways to arrange 9 letters if "GOR" comes together :-

$7!=5040$

Thus, the number of ways to arrange 9 letters if "GOR" comes together=5040

Stan has made a $125.30 monthly deposit into an account that pays 1.5% interest, compounded monthly, for 35 years. He would now

MissTica

The future value of a monthly deposit A=125.30 at annual interest i=0.015 per annum for n=35 years compounded monthly is given by
FV=A((1+i/12)^(12*n)-1)/(i/12)
=125.30(1+0.015/12)^(12*35)/(0.015/12)
=$69156.05

The annuity formula is given by
Payment = r(PV)/(1-(1+r)^(-n))
where
r=interest rate per period = 0.015/12
PV= $69156.05
n=20*12=240
so
Payment = (0.015/12)<span>69156.05/(1-(1+0.015/12)^(-240))
= $333.71 per month.</span>

Answer:

17 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter of any figure, you must add all the side lengths. In a triangle, there are three side lengths to add, and in this case, they are 3 cm, 6 cm, and 8 cm long. So:

3 + 6 + 8 = 17 cm

∴, the triangle's perimeter is 17 cm.
