Answer:

The umbrella will fit in, but there will be a lot of extra room.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember the Pythagorean theorem:

x^(2) + y^(2) = n^(2)

where "x" and "y" are the legs of the right triangle and "n" is the hypotenuse

In this problem it is given that the sides (legs) are:

38in, and 24in

and diagonally across is 29in

so the hypotenuse is 29in

therefore we can form the equation:

38^(2) + 24^(2) = 29^(2)

without solving it is clear that

38^(2) + 24^(2) > 29^(2)

because 38 is a leg, but it is greater than 29, which means that 38 - 24 - 29 is not a Pythagorean triple,

but because 38 > 29, then the 29 in umbrella will fit into the suitcase, but it will not be a snug fit, there will be a lot of extra room

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The umbrella should fit

The umbrella is the diagonal in a right triangle so we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2

18^2 + 24^2 = c^2

324 + 576 = c^2

900 = c^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(900) = sqrt(c^2)

30 =c

As long as the umbrella is less than 30 inches, it should fit

The umbrella is 29 inches so it should fit

A man bought two books for RS 1040. He sold one at a loss of 15% and other at a profit of 36% then he found that each book was sold for the same price. Find the cost price of each book.​

Answers

Answer:

640 & 400

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of books: x and 1040-x

x sold at a loss of 15%= .85 x

1040 - x sold at a profit of 36% = (1040 - x) *1.36

x*.85= (1040-x)*1.36

0.85x+1.36x= 1040*1.36

2.21x= 1414.4

x= 1414.4/ 2.21

x= Rs. 640

Rs. 1040 - 640 = 400

__________________________

3x = -2x + 10

(addition property of equality)

*cancel out the negative 2x, and isolate it from the constant term on the right hand side by adding 2x on both sides*

To determine whether they have a certain disease, 100 people are to have their blood tested.However, rather than testing each individual separately, it has been decided first to place the peopleinto groups of 10. The blood samples of the 10 people in each group will be pooled and analyzedtogether. If the test is negative, one test will suffice for the 10 people, whereas if the test is positive,each of the 10 people will also be individually tested and, in all, 11 tests will be made on this group.Assume that the probability that a person has the disease is .1 for all people, independently of eachother, and compute the expected number of tests necessary for each group. (Note that we areassuming that the pooled test will be positive if at least one person in the pool has the disease.)

Answers

Answer:

The expected number of tests necessary for each group is 7.51.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of a person having the disease is, P (X) = 0.10.

Then the probability of a person not having the disease is P (X') = 0.90.

It is provided that if the test is negative, one test will suffice for the 10 people.

Bur if the test is positive, each of the 10 people will also be individually tested and, in all, 11 tests will be made on this group.

Compute the expected number of tests necessary for each group as follows:

Expected number of tests = Negative Result × P (X') + Positive Result × P (X)

                                           [tex]=(1\times (0.90)^{10})+(11\times [1-(0.90)^{10}])\\=0.3486784401+7.1645371589\\=7.513215599\\\approx 7.51[/tex]

Thus, the expected number of tests necessary for each group is 7.51.

Find the 7th term in the sequence -1,2,-4,8

Answers

Answer:   -64

=======================================

Work Shown:

We have a geometric sequence

a = first term = -1

r = common ratio = (second term)/(first term) = 2/(-1) = -2

nth term

a(n) = a*(r)^(n-1)

a(n) = -1*(-2)^(n-1)

Now plug in n = 7 to get the 7th term

a(n) = -1*(-2)^(n-1)

a(7) = -1*(-2)^(7-1)

a(7) = -1*(-2)^6

a(7) = -1*(64)

a(7) = -64

The first seven terms are

-1, 2, -4, 8, -16, 32, -64

To get each new term, we multiply the last term by the common ratio -2

First, we need to find the rule for the sequence.
There’s not really an exact way to do this, you just have to look for a pattern.
This sequence follows the following notation:
An= -(-2^(n-1))
Then, we can plug 7 in for n.
A7 = -(-2^(n-1))
A7=-(-2^6)
A7=-64

What is Algebra?

Algebra is the study of abstract symbols, while logic is the manipulation of all those ideas.

The acronym PEMDAS stands for Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction. This approach is used to answer the problem correctly and completely.

We are given that;

The number= 8[1/4]

Now,

To evaluate 8[1/4], we need to use the definition of the square bracket notation. The square bracket notation means to round down to the nearest integer. For example, [3.7] = 3 and [-2.1] = -3.

So, 8[1/4] means to multiply 8 by the integer that is closest to 1/4 but less than or equal to it. The integer that is closest to 1/4 but less than or equal to it is 0. So, 8[1/4] = 8 * 0 = 0.

Therefore, by algebra the answer will be 0.
