7 0

Answer:

1/7 or 14.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

30% of 750 = 225  (females who study chemistry)

60% of 2250 = 1350  (males who study chemistry)

1575 = total students studying chemistry

P (female chemistry student) = 225/1575 = 1/7 (simplified)

1/7 = 14.3%

A juice stand in Montreal sells a quart of orange juice for 4.40CAN. If 1USD = 1.06CAN and 4 cups = 1 quart, how much will one c
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

A cup of juice will cost 1.04 US dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the cost of one cup of juice in US dollars.

The cost of a quart of juice is Canada is 4.40CAN

now, since there are 4 cups in a quart, the cost of a cup of juice will be 4.40/4 = 1.10 CAN

Moving on;

We are told that 1 USD = 1.06 CAN ;

thus x usd = 1.10 CAN

1 * 1.10 = x * 1.06

x = 1.10/1.06

x = 1.037 which is approximately 1.04 USD

If a=i+7j+k and b=i+11j+k, find a unit vector with positive first coordinate orthogonal to both a and
Scilla [17]
Take the cross product, then normalize the result.

\mathbf a\times\mathbf b=\begin{vmatrix}\mathbf i&\mathbf j&\mathbf k\\1&7&1\\1&11&1\end{vmatrix}=-4\,\mathbf i+4\,\mathbf k

This has norm

\|\mathbf a\times\mathbf b\|=\sqrt{(-4)^2+4^2}=4\sqrt2

and so a unit vector orthogonal to both given vectors is

\dfrac{\mathbf a\times\mathbf b}{\|\mathbf a\times\mathbf b\|}=-\dfrac1{\sqrt2}\,\mathbf i+\dfrac1{\sqrt2}\,\mathbf k

An equally correct answer would be the negative of this vector, since \mathbf b\times\mathbf a=-\mathbf a\times\mathbf b.

Solve x2 - 8x = 20 by completing the square. Which is the solution set of the equation?
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

{-2,10}

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 8x = 20

Take the coefficient of x

-8

Divide by 2

-8/2 =-4

Square it

(-4)^2 =16

Add this to each side

x^2 - 8x+16 = 20+16

x^2 - 8x+16 = 36

The left hand side becomes( x + (-8/2) )^2

(x - 4)^2 = 36

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x - 4)^2) =±sqrt( 36)

x-4 = ±6

Add 4 to each side

x-4+4 = 4±6

x = 4±6

x = 4+6       x = 4-6

x = 10        x = -2
