Find x when one arc measure is 59 and another arc is 2x and one anhle is 15

Answer:

Using division the answer to the equation is 10 2/3 but the correct answer to the question would most likely be he needs to refill his tank after 10 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

19 5/9 ÷ 1 5/6 = 10 2/3

It means you would expect to win that amount, and if it's negative, it means you would expect to lose that amount.

To calculate the expected value of this bet, we first need to determine the probability of drawing two hearts and the probability of not drawing two hearts.

There are 52 cards in a standard deck, with 13 cards of each suit (hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades). To calculate the probability of drawing two hearts without replacement, we consider the following:

1st card: The probability of drawing a heart is 13/52, as there are 13 hearts in the deck and 52 cards total.

2nd card: After drawing one heart, there are 12 hearts left and 51 cards total. The probability of drawing another heart is 12/51.

Thus, the probability of drawing two hearts is (13/52) * (12/51).

Next, we need to find the probability of not drawing two hearts. This can be calculated by subtracting the probability of drawing two hearts from 1.

Probability of not drawing two hearts = 1 - [(13/52) * (12/51)]

Now, we can calculate the expected value of the bet:

Expected value = (probability of winning * winnings) + (probability of losing * losses)

In this case, the winnings are $16, and the losses are $3.

Expected value = [(13/52) * (12/51) * $16] + {1 - [(13/52) * (12/51)]} * (-$3)

Now, let's calculate the expected value for 762 bets.

Expected value for 762 bets = 762 * {[(13/52) * (12/51) * $16] + {1 - [(13/52) * (12/51)]} * (-$3)}

Round the final expected value to two decimal places. If it's a positive value, it means you would expect to win that amount, and if it's negative, it means you would expect to lose that amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

TSA = 2πr(h+r)

Expanding the brackets, we get:

TSA = 2πrh + 2πr^2

Rearranging the equation, we get:

TSA - 2πrh = 2πr^2

Dividing both sides by 2π, we get:

r^2 = (TSA - 2πrh) / 2π

Taking the square root of both sides, we get:

r = √[(TSA - 2πrh) / 2π]

We need to simplify the given equation to solve for r.

r = √[(905.143) - 2(22/7)r(14)) / 2(22/7)]

r = √[(905.143) - (88/7)r] / (44/7)

Squaring both sides, we get:

r^2 = [(905.143) - (88/7)r] / (44/7)

Multiplying both sides by (44/7) and simplifying:

7r^2 - 88r - 905.143 = 0

Using the quadratic formula:

r = [88 ± √(88^2 - 4(7)(-905.143))] / (2(7))

r ≈ 12.009 or r ≈ -12.892

Since r represents the radius of a circle, which cannot be negative, we ignore the negative solution.

Therefore, the solution is r ≈ 12.009.

36.

We can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder:

volume = πr^2h

where r is the radius and h is the height of the cylinder.

First, we need to find the radius of the drum. The diameter is given as 56 cm, so the radius is half of that, or 28 cm.

Next, we can use the given volume of 123.2 liters. However, we need to convert liters to cubic centimeters (cm^3) since the dimensions are in centimeters.

1 liter = 1000 cm^3

So, 123.2 liters = 123,200 cm^3.

Now we can plug in the values:

123,200 cm^3 = π(28 cm)^2h

Simplifying:

123,200 cm^3 = 2464π cm^2h

Dividing both sides by 2464π cm^2:

50 cm = h

Therefore, the height of the drum is 50 cm.

The discount is 75% off the original price of $185.

To find the amount of the discount, we can multiply the original price by 0.75:

$185 x 0.75 = $138.75

Therefore, the dress has been discounted by $138.75.

To find the sales price, we can subtract the discount from the original price:

$185 - $138.75 = $46.25

Therefore, the sale price of the dress is $46.25.

Let’s start by defining the variables:

Let A be the area of the preimage.

Let k be the scale factor.

If the scale factor is k, then the area of the preimage is multiplied by k² to calculate the area of the new image. Therefore, we have:

Area of new image = k²A

We are given that:

k = 1/5

Therefore, we have:

k² = (1/5)² = 1/25

The area of the preimage is not given. Therefore, we cannot calculate the area of the new image

The correct answer to the given question about mapping quadrilateral ABCD onto quadrilateral HGEF is option D Translation 6 units left and 2 units down

To determine the transformation that maps quadrilateral ABCD onto quadrilateral HGFE, we need to compare the corresponding sides and angles of the two quadrilaterals.

Option 1: Rotation of 180° about the origin

A rotation of 180° about the origin would not map quadrilateral ABCD onto quadrilateral HGFE because the corresponding sides and angles are not congruent. For example, side AB of ABCD would not match side HG of HGFE after the rotation. Therefore, option 1 is incorrect.

Option 2: Reflection across the y-axis

A reflection across the y-axis would not map quadrilateral ABCD onto quadrilateral HGFE because the corresponding sides and angles are not congruent. For example, angle A of ABCD would not match angle H of HGFE after the reflection. Therefore, option 2 is incorrect.

Option 3: Reflection across the x-axis

A reflection across the x-axis would not map quadrilateral ABCD onto quadrilateral HGFE because the corresponding sides and angles are not congruent. For example, side BC of ABCD would not match side GF of HGFE after the reflection. Therefore, option 3 is incorrect.

Option 4: Translation 6 units left and 2 units down

A translation 6 units left and 2 units down would map quadrilateral ABCD onto quadrilateral HGFE because the corresponding sides and angles are congruent. Each point of ABCD would move left by 6 units and down by 2 units to reach its corresponding point in HGFE. Therefore, option 4 is the correct transformation that maps quadrilateral ABCD onto quadrilateral HGFE.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the pyramid can be calculated using the formula:

Volume = (1/3) * base area * height

The base area of the pyramid is equal to the area of one of the square sides, which is:

Base area = 12 in * 12 in = 144 in^2

Therefore, the volume of the pyramid is:

Volume = (1/3) * 144 in^2 * 14 in = 2,688 in^3

Each wax cube has a volume of:

Volume of a wax cube = 6 in * 6 in * 6 in = 216 in^3

To find out how many wax cubes Josiah needs, we can divide the volume of the pyramid by the volume of each wax cube:

Number of wax cubes = Volume of pyramid / Volume of each wax cube

Number of wax cubes = 2,688 in^3 / 216 in^3 = 12.4444...

Since we can't use a fraction of a wax cube, Josiah will need to use 13 wax cubes to make the candle.

A one-sample t-test is conducted to determine if recent Miss America winners have a significantly different BMI compared to winners from the 1920s and 1930s. The test results fail to reject the null hypothesis, indicating that recent winners do not appear to be significantly different from those in the 1920s and 1930s.

To determine if recent Miss America winners have a significantly different BMI compared to winners from the 1920s and 1930s, a one-sample t-test can be conducted. Using the given sample, the sample mean BMI is calculated to be 18.5.

The null hypothesis is that the population mean BMI of recent winners is equal to 19.2. The alternative hypothesis is that the population mean BMI of recent winners is different from 19.2.

Assuming a significance level of 0.05 and using a two-tailed test, the calculated t-value is -2.08 and the corresponding p-value is 0.057.

Since the p-value is greater than the significance level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. This suggests that there is not enough evidence to conclude that recent Miss America winners have significantly different BMI compared to winners from the 1920s and 1930s.

The  procedure permute-without-identity does what Professor Kelp intends.

As per the given question,

Professor Kelp wants to write a procedure that produces any permutation randomly except the identity permutation in which every element ends up where it started.

He has proposed the procedure permute-without-identity. We need to check whether this procedure does what Professor Kelp intends or not.

Procedure permute-without-identity:

Generate a permutation π ∈ Sn−1 uniformly at random. (Note that the identity permutation is not in Sn−1.)

Return the permutation obtained by shuffling the elements of π using a uniformly random shuffle.

Randomly shuffle the list using the Fisher-Yates shuffle, which creates a uniformly random permutation of the list.

Professor Kelp's procedure permute-without-identity chooses a permutation at random from the set of all permutations except the identity permutation.

So, there are n! - 1 possible choices of π.

Then, the elements of π are shuffled randomly using a uniformly random shuffle.

The identity permutation is excluded from π as it is not included in Sn-1.

Since the identity permutation is not included in Sn-1, it cannot be chosen by the procedure permute-without-identity.

Hence, the procedure does what Professor Kelp intends.

This procedure achieves the desired outcome by avoiding the case where all elements end up where they started.

Answer:

16.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

The regular price for a lubrication job is $6.50. With the promotion, customers can purchase 6 coupons for $32.50.

To find the percentage discount offered, we need to compare the regular price with the discounted price.

The regular price for 6 lubrication jobs would be:

$6.50 x 6 = $39

With the coupon book, the customer pays $32.50 for 6 lubrication jobs.

The amount of discount is:

$39 - $32.50 = $6.50

Therefore, the percentage discount offered is:

($6.50 / $39) x 100% = 16.7%

So the station is offering a discount of 16.7% to customers who purchase the 6-coupon lube book.

Todd drank 29.17% of the bottles. First, we need to calculate the total number of bottles drank by Lydia, Mitchell, and Alexa.

Lydia = (1/8) x 24 = 3 bottles

Mitchell = (33 1/3%) x 24 = (1/3) x 24 = 8 bottles

Alexa = 0.25 x 24 = 6 bottles

The total number of bottles drank by Lydia, Mitchell, and Alexa is 3 + 8 + 6 = 17 bottles.

Therefore, the number of bottles Todd drank is 24 - 17 = 7 bottles.

To find the percentage of bottles Todd drank, we can use the following formula:

Percentage = (Part/Whole) x 100%

Where the Part is 7 and the Whole is 24.

Percentage = (7/24) x 100% = 29.17%

Therefore, Todd drank 29.17% of the bottles.

One way to approach this problem is to use the formula:

total cost = cost of parts + cost of labor

We can plug in the given values:

719.75 = 116 + cost of labor x 5.25

Simplifying:

603.75 = cost of labor x 5.25

To solve for the cost of labor per hour (cc), we can divide both sides by 5.25:

cc = 603.75 / 5.25

Simplifying:

cc ≈ 114.76

Therefore, the equation that could be used to determine the cost of labor per hour is:

cc = (total cost - cost of parts) / hours of labor

or:

cc = (719.75 - 116) / 5.25

All functions have an inverse function, and for a function to have an inverse. The inverse of  [tex]f(x) = 3\sqrt(4x + 7) is f^-1(x) = (x^3 - 189)/108[/tex]

The inverse function, often known as the "inverse mapping," is a function that "undoes" another function's operation. If a function f(x) translates an input x to an output y, the inverse function f(-1)(y) transfers the result y back to the input x.

To find the inverse of the function f(x) = 3√(4x + 7), we need to solve for x in terms of y.

Step 1: Replace f(x) with y

[tex]y = 3√(4x + 7)[/tex]

Step 2: Cube both sides to eliminate the cube root

[tex]y^3 = 27(4x + 7)[/tex]

Step 3: Simplify and solve for x

[tex]y^3 = 108x + 189[/tex]

[tex]x = (y^3 - 189)/108[/tex]

Step 4: Replace x with [tex]f^-1(x)[/tex]

Answer:

The axis of symmetry is at x = -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the axis of symmetry of a quadratic function in the form of f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c, you can use the formula x = -b / (2a).

In the function f(x) = 2x^2 + 8x − 5, a = 2 and b = 8, so we can plug those values into the formula and get:

x = -b / (2a) = -8 / (2 * 2) = -2

Therefore, the axis of symmetry of the function f(x) = 2x^2 + 8x − 5 is located at x = -2.

This means that the graph of the function is symmetric with respect to the vertical line x = -2. Any point on the graph that is a distance of t from the line x = -2 will have a corresponding point on the graph that is also a distance of t from the line.
