Corry collects cube containers. She fills them with water and pours them into a rectangular prism. She was playing with them and

discovered something interesting. She had three cube containers. One cube was 1 inch by 1 inch by 1 inch. A second cube was 2 inches by 2 inches by 2 inches and a third cube was 3 inches by 3 inches by 3 inches.She filled all three with water. Then Corry poured all three cubes into a rectangular prism filling it exactly! The rectangular prism has a square base with a side length (1+2+3 = 6) inches and the height is 1 inch.Corry wonders whether she has found a pattern. Investigate using more cube containers to fill square base prisms with heights of 1 in. Describe any conjectures you discover.

Answer:

  \displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n{i^3}=\left(\sum_{i=1}^n{i}\right)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The only sum of three cubes that has a total equal to the square of the sum of their dimensions is the one Corry found.

However, we notice that ...

  1³ +2³ +3³ +4³ = (1 +2 +3 +4)² = 100

If we add the next number in sequence, we get ...

  100 +5³ = 225 = (10 +5)²

  225 +6³ = 441 = (15 +6)²

So, it seems that the sum of the first n cubes is equal to the square of the sum of the first n natural numbers.

Exponential function f is represented by the table. x -2 -1 0 1 2 f(x) -46 -22 -10 -4 -1 Function g is represented by the equati
Scrat [10]

The statement that describes better about function is "Both functions are increasing, but function g increases at a faster average rate." since option (c) is correct.

Given the table

x         f(x)

-2        -46

-1         -22

0         -10

1           -4

2          -1

We have to choose which statement describes better about function

Let us assume f(x)=ab^x+c

at x=0, f(0)=-10

So, -10 =a+c

Similarly, by satisfying the above table in the f(x)

f(x)=\frac{33}{5} (\frac{1}{11})^x-\frac{17}{5}

f'(x) > 0

So we can say that f(x) is an increasing function.

g(x) = - 18  (\frac{1}{3}  )^ x + 2

g^ \prime (x) = - 18 (\frac{1}{3}  )^ x  ln(1/3)

ln(1/3) < 0

So, g^ \prime (x) > 0

So, g(x) is an increasing function.

For any x∈f(x) and  x∈g(x) g'(x) > f'(x)

So, g increases at a faster average rate

Thus, Both functions are increasing, but function g increases at a faster average rate.

ANHL player's labor negotiating committee is to be selected from 8 player representatives from the Eastern Conference and 7 play
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

21 / 143

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of Eastern conference reps = 8

Number of western conference rep = 7

Probability of selecting 3 from Eastern reps and 2 from western reps

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Total possible outcomes:

selection to be made = 3+ 2 = 5

Total Number of players = 8 +7 = 15

Total possible outcomes

Using combination formula :

nCr = n! / (n-r)!r!

15C5 = 15! / 10!5! = (15 * 14 * 13 * 12 * 11) / (5*4'3*2*1) = 360360 / 120 = 3003

Total possible outcomes = 3003

Required outcome :

8C3 * 7C2

8C3 = 56 ; 7C2 = 21

8C3 * 7C2 = 56 * 21 = 1176

required outcome / Total possible outcomes

= 1176 / 3003

= 21 / 143
