A mouse climbs up a well of 86 meters. It advances 14 meters during the night, but during the day it retreats 2. The mouse will reach the surface on the day:

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

we assume day and night are equally long.

and the mouse will start at night of day 1.

then, on day 2, it will first retreat 2 meters (during daylight) and then advance 14 meters (at night).

so, on every full day, the mouse will effectively advance 12 meters (-2 + 14 = 12).

with a starting value of 14 (the first night).

so, we are getting an arithmetic sequence

an = an-1 + c

c = 12 in our case.

a1 = 14

a2 = a1 + 12 = 14+12 = 26

a3 = a2 + 12 = a1 + 12 + 12 = 14 + 2×12 = 38

an = a1 + (n-1)×12 = 14 + 12(n-1)

at what n will it reach 86 ?

86 = 14 + 12(n-1) = 14 + 12n - 12 = 2 + 12n

84 = 12n

n = 7

so, on the 7th day the mouse will reach the surface (if we truly count the first starting night day 1 - this is up to your teacher, but I would).

Answers

Answer: Therefore the  length of the pole in  10.1 foot (approx) .

Step-by-step explanation:

To proof

As given

The pole casts a 12-foot shadow when the sun is at a 40° angle of elevation.

x represented the length of pole .

As shown in the diagram

By using the trignometric identity

tan40° = 0.839099631 ( approx )

Put in the above

x = 12 × 0.839099631

Alejandro was picked by this teacher to find the integer that has the square root closest to 7, without going over. he wrote 52 on the bored. was he correct? explain your reasoning.

Answers

Considering that the square root of 49 is 7, and 52 > 49, Alejandro was not correct, as the correct integer is of 48.

What is the integer that has the square root closest to n, without going over?

The integer that has square root n is given by:

S(n) = n².

Hence the closest is given by:

C(n) = n² - 1.

In this problem, we have n = 7, hence:

C(7) = 7² - 1 = 48.

Which means that Alejandro was not correct.

A teacher administers three different versions of a test to his students. The two-way table shows the results. Find each probability.


Part A. P(pass | Test A)

The probability is ___%


Part B. P(pass | Test A)

The probability is ___%
SHOW ALL WORK

Answers

The P(pass | Test A) is 31.81%, P(pass | Test B) is 29.87%, and P(pass | Test C) is 22.07%

What is probability?

It is defined as the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes, in other words, the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

Part A:

Total number of students = 154

Total number of students passed the test = 49

The probability:

P(pass | Test A) = 49/154 = 31.81%

Part B:

Total number of students = 154

Total number of students passed the test = 46

The probability:

P(pass | Test B) = 46/154 = 29.87%

Similarly, for the probability:

P(pass | Test C) = 34/154 = 22.07%

Thus, the P(pass | Test A) is 31.81%, P(pass | Test B) is 29.87%, and P(pass | Test C) is 22.07%

What is the value of s to the nearest whole number? 10 12 13 14

Answers

The value of s to the nearest whole number is 14. The correct option is the last option 14

Trigonometry

From the question, we are to determine the value of s

Using the laws of cosines

a² = b² + c² -2bc Cos A

Then,

s² = 8² + 9² -2(8)(9) cos111°

s² = 64 + 81 - 144 cos111°

s² = 145 - (-51.605)

s² = 145 + 51.605

s² = √196.605

s = 14.0216

s ≅ 14

Hence, the value of s to the nearest whole number is 14. The correct option is the last option 14

The radius of a circle is 1 in. Find the circumference \textit{to the nearest tenth}to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

The circumference is 6.3 in

The circumference of the circle is given by the equation C = 6.3 inches

What is a Circle?

A circle is a closed two-dimensional figure in which the set of all the points in the plane is equidistant from a given point called “center”. Every line that passes through the circle forms the line of reflection symmetry. Also, the circle has rotational symmetry around the center for every angle

The circumference of circle = 2πr

The area of the circle = πr²

where r is the radius of the circle

The standard form of a circle is

( x - h )² + ( y - k )² = r²,

where r is the radius of the circle and (h,k) is the center of the circle.

The equation of circle is ( x - h )² + ( y - k )² = r²

For a unit circle , the radius r = 1

x² + y² = r² be equation (1)

Now , for a unit circle , the terminal side of angle θ is ( cos θ , sin θ )

Given data ,

Let the circumference of the circle be represented as C

Now , the equation will be

Let the radius of the circle be r = 1 inch

Now , circumference of circle = 2πr

Substituting the values in the equation , we get

The circumference of the circle C = 2 ( 3.14159 ) x 1

On simplifying the equation , we get

The circumference of the circle C = 6.3 inches

Hence , the circumference of the circle is 6.3 inches
