I need help with this please

Answer:

We can use exponential decay formula to solve this problem:

N(t) = N0 * e^(-kt)

where N(t) is the number of employees with petrol cars at time t, N0 is the initial number of employees with petrol cars (in 2013), k is the decay constant, and e is the base of the natural logarithm.

We need to find N(2019), the number of employees with petrol cars in 2019. We know that N0 = 1536, and we need to find k.

Let's assume that the number of employees with petrol cars decreases by 5% each year. This means that the ratio of the number of employees with petrol cars in two consecutive years is:

0.95

Therefore, we can write:

N(2019) = 1536 * 0.95^(2019-2013)

N(2019) = 1536 * 0.95^6

N(2019) = 1133.76

Rounding to the nearest integer, we get:

N(2019) = 1134

Therefore, we can estimate that about 1134 employees owned a petrol car in 2019, assuming that the number of employees with petrol cars decreases exponentially at a rate of 5% per year.

The number of participants that will not get two cups of water if Mr. Mohan is the only person that donated water, obtained using basic arithmetic operations are 40 participants

Basic arithmetic operations includes addition, subtraction, division and multiplication.

Mr. Mohan donated 8 five-litre bottles of water, which is equivalent to 40 litres of water;

8 × 5 litres = 40 litres

Each cup contains 125 ml of water which means that each liter can fill 8 cups. So the total number of cups that can be filled from the 8 five-litre bottles of water containing 40 litres of water is; 40 × 8 = 320 cups

Since each participant takes one cup at each stop and there are two stops in total, each participant will take a total of 2 cups during the walkation. This means that only 160 participants will get two cups of water if Mr Mohan is the only person who donated water.

So, 200 - 160 = '40 participants' will not get two cups of water if Mr. Mohan is the only person who donated water.

The maximum acceleration attained on the interval 0 < t <3 is 27 m/s²

To find the maximum acceleration of the particle, we need to find its acceleration function by taking the derivative of its velocity function with respect to time

a(t) = v'(t) = 3t^2 - 6t + 12

To find the maximum acceleration attained on the interval 0 < t <3, we need to find the critical points of the acceleration function within the interval and evaluate the function at these points and at the endpoints of the interval.

The critical points of the acceleration function occur where its derivative equals zero

a'(t) = 6t - 6 = 0

t = 1

So the only critical point of the acceleration function within the interval 0 < t <3 is t=1. We also need to evaluate the acceleration function at the endpoints of the interval

a(0) = 12

a(3) = 27

Therefore, the maximum acceleration attained on the interval 0 < t <3 is either at t=0, t=1, or t=3. To determine which one is the maximum, we can evaluate the acceleration function at each of these points and compare the values

a(0) = 12

a(1) = 9

a(3) = 27

Thus, the maximum acceleration attained on the interval 0 < t <3 is 27m/s², which occurs at t=3.

The trigonometric expression cosAcotA = 8x/(4x² - 1)

A trigonometric expression is an expression that contains trigonometric ratios.

Given that for any acute angle A if sin A = 2x-1/2x+1, we desire to find the value of cos A cot A?

So, we proceed as follows

cosAcotA = cosA × cosA/sinA  (since cotA = cosA/sinA)

= cos²A/sinA

Now using the trigonometric identity

sin²A + cos²A = 1

⇒ cos²A = 1 - sin²A

So, substituting this into the equation, we have that

cosAcotA = cos²A/sinA

=  (1 - sin²A)/sinA

= 1/sinA - sin²A/sinA

= 1/sinA - sinA

Substituting the value of sinA into the equation, we have

= 1/(2x - 1)/(2x + 1) - (2x - 1)/(2x + 1)

= (2x + 1)/(2x - 1) - (2x - 1)/(2x + 1)

Taking the L.C.M, (2x - 1)(2x + 1), we have

= [(2x + 1)² - (2x - 1)²]/[(2x - 1)(2x+ 1)]

=  [(2x + 1)² - (2x - 1)²]/[(2x)² - 1²)]

=  [(2x + 1 + 2x - 1)(2x + 1 - (2x - 1)]/(2x)² - 1²)

=  [(2x + 1 + 2x - 1)(2x + 1 - 2x + 1)]/4x² - 1)

=  [(4x)(2)]/4x² - 1)

= 8x/(4x² - 1)

So, cosAcotA = 8x/(4x² - 1)

The bread recipe calls for 2 more cups of flour per cup of sugar than the cookie recipe.

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

Explanation:

I'll use this shorthand

Something like "2 cups of sugar" will shorten to "2s".

The cookies need 3s for every 6f.

Therefore we get this ratio

3s : 6f

And we can divide both sides by 3 to end up with

s : 2f

Meaning "each cup of sugar needs 2 cups of flour".

--------------------

Meanwhile, the bread recipe calls for 2s for every 8f.

2s : 8f

2s/2 : 8f/2 .... divide both sides by 2

s : 4f

When making bread, each cup of sugar needs 4 cups of flour. In other words, the amount of flour is quadruple that of the sugar.

--------------------

Recap

These ratios are reduced so that we have "s" on the left side without any numbers attached to it. In other words, we have 1s.

We can see that the bread needs 2 more cups of flour compared to the cookies (since 4f - 2f = 2f). It's important that we reduce those ratios so that we're talking about the same amount of sugar for each food item.

This is why  choice B   is the final answer.

--------------------

An example:

Each food item will use 1 cup of sugar.

The cookies need twice the amount of flour, so the cookies require 2 cups of flour (because of the ratio s:2f mentioned earlier).

The bread needs quadruple the amount of flour compared to sugar. Meaning the bread needs 4 cups of flour (because of the ratio s:4f).

Then subtract to get

(4 cups flour for bread) - (2 cups flour for cookies) = 2 cups flour

The answer to this question is 0.

The system of equations, helps to determine the quantity of each kind of coffee for mixture. The 9 pounds of Guatemala antigua coffee blend and one pound of gazebo coffee blend should be mix.

We have a coffee distributor needs to mix a(n) Guatemala antigua coffee blend. Let us assume, x = pounds of the Guatemala antigua coffee blend

y = pounds of the gazebo coffee blend

The new mixture is 10 pounds, so x + y = 10

And normally sells value of Guatemala antigua coffee blend per pound = $8.50

so, sells for x pounds of the Guatemala antigua coffee blend = $8.50x

Normally sells value of gazebo coffee blend per pound = $13.10y

Total sells = $12.64 × 10

8.50x + 13.10y = 12.64 × 10

We have the following system of equations:

x + y = 10 --(1)

8.50x + 13.10y = 126.4 --(2)

We have to solve the system of equations for determining value x and y. Using the Elimination method, from equation (1), x = 10 - y, put in equation (2), 8.50x + 13.10y = 126.4

=> 8.50 ( 10 - y ) + 13.10y = 126.4

=> 85 - 8.5y + 13.10y = 126.4

=> 4.6 y = 41.4

The area of the square is changing at 12√2 + 2√2t square inches/minute when the circle is increasing at 1 in/min.

Let us find the relationship between r and s using the Pythagorean theorem. Since the square is inscribed in the circle, the diameter of the circle is equal to the diagonal of the square.

2r = s√2
Squaring both sides, we get:
4r² = 2s²or s² = 2r²
Dividing by 2 on both sides, we get:
s²/2 = r²
Differentiating both sides with respect to t, we get:
ds²/dt = 2r (dr/dt)
Dividing both sides by 2s, we get:
ds/dt = r (dr/dt) / s

Substituting r² = s²/2,

[tex]ds/dt = r (dr/dt) / √2s2s ds/dt = r (dr/dt)s ds/dt = (r/2) (dr/dt)2s ds/dt = r (dr/dt) or dA/dt = 2s ds/dt = 2r (dr/dt)[/tex]

Now, substituting r² = s²/2,

dA/dt = 2s ds/dt = 2(√2 s) (dr/dt) = 2(√2) r (dr/dt)

Now, substituting dr/dt = 1 in/min and r = 6 in (since the circle is increasing at 1 in/min, the radius after t minutes is 6 + t),

dA/dt = 2(√2) (6 + t) (1) = 12√2 + 2√2t square inches/minute

Therefore, the area of the square is changing at a rate of 12√2 + 2√2t square inches/minute.

The number of surface finish flaws in this issue will follow a Poisson distribution, and since the mean is given, it is necessary to obtain the probability. More solutions will be found by using the Poisson distribution's normal approximation.

The following formula can be used to determine the likelihood that a randomly chosen unit will have at least one surface finish flaw:

The distribution's average and standard deviation are λ = 0.1

P(X ≥ 1) = 1 − P(X < 1)

P(X ≥ 1) = 1 − P(X = 0)

        To find the probability of having exactly 2 kings and the ace of spades given that you have at least one ace

        When a five-card hand is dealt at random from a standard 52-card deck is as follows:

        There are 52 cards in a standard deck. Therefore, there are 4 Kings and 1 Ace of Spades. The number of ways in which we can select 2 Kings from 4 Kings is:

                             ₄C₂ = [tex](4 * 3)/(2 * 1)[/tex]

           The number of ways in which we can select the Ace of Spades from 1 Ace is:

                              ₁C₁ = 1

            The remaining 2 cards are non-Kings and non-Ace of Spades cards. So, there are 44 such cards. The number of ways in which we can select 2 cards from 44 cards is:

                           ₄₄C₂ = [tex](44 * 43)/(2 * 1)[/tex]

A random variable is a variable whose possible values are determined by chance, while a discrete random variable can only take on certain values, and a continuous random variable can take on any value within a given range

There are two types of random variables: discrete random variables and continuous random variables.

The difference between these two types of random variables is as follows:

Discrete random variables: A discrete random variable is one that can only take on a finite or countably infinite number of distinct values. These values are usually represented by integers.

Examples of discrete random variables include the number of students in a class, the number of cars in a parking lot, or the number of heads that come up when a coin is flipped. In other words, a discrete random variable is one that can be counted.

Continuous random variables: A continuous random variable is one that can take on an infinite number of values, and these values can be represented by any real number within a given interval.

Examples of continuous random variables include height, weight, temperature, and time. In other words, a continuous random variable is one that can be measured.

Continuous random variables are usually represented by a function called the probability density function, which describes the likelihood of any given value occurring within the given interval.

If the length of a rectangle is nine inches more than its width and its area is 442 square inches, the width of the rectangle is 17 inches and its length is 26 inches.

Let's denote the width of the rectangle as "w" and its length as "l". From the problem statement, we know that:

l = w + 9 (since the length is nine inches more than the width)

The area of the rectangle is given by the formula:

A = l * w

Substituting in the expression for "l" in terms of "w", we get:

A = (w+9) * w

Simplifying, we get a quadratic equation:

w^2 + 9w - 442 = 0

We can solve this equation by factoring or using the quadratic formula. Factoring gives:

(w+26)(w-17) = 0

Therefore, the possible values for "w" are -26 and 17. However, since the width of the rectangle cannot be negative, we can eliminate -26 as a possible value. Thus, the width of the rectangle is 17 inches.

Let's say Nikhil has x number of pencils. Then, according to the problem, Cortez has three times as many pencils as Nikhil. Therefore, Cortez has 3x number of pencils.

Together, they have a total of 84 pencils. So, we can write an equation based on the number of pencils owned by Nikhil and Cortez as follows:

x + 3x = 84

Simplifying the equation, we get:

4x = 84

Dividing both sides by 4, we get:

The probability of getting a tail on the coin and at least a 5 on the die is 0.1667 rounded to four decimal places.

The probability is frequently stated as a ratio between the total number of outcomes in the sample space and the number of positive outcomes. This is how it is written: Number of Favorable Outcomes P(E) = Probability of an Event (Sample space).

If a coin is fair and impartial, the likelihood of getting a tail is equal to half.

On a six-sided dice, the likelihood of getting at least a 5 is 2/6, or 1/3. Either rolling a 5 or rolling a 6 will result in a 5 or a 6 on the die. The likelihood of rolling at least a 5 is 2/6 or 1/3 because there are a total of six possible results.

You can multiply the probabilities of the two occurrences to determine the likelihood that they will occur simultaneously (assumed to be independent events). As a result, the likelihood of getting at least a 5 on the die and a tail on the coin is:

1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6

Thus, there is a 1 in 6 possibility of rolling at least a 5 on the die and getting a tail on the coin in a single trial. Another way to say this is as a percentage:

1/6 * 100% = 16.67%

As per the given probability, the values of

(a) E (X) is 17.4 ft³, E (X²) is 323.2 ft⁶, and V (X) is 2.16 ft⁶.

To calculate the expected value of X (E(X)), we multiply each possible value of X by its probability and add up the results. Using the probability mass function given, we have:

E(X) = (16)(0.3) + (18)(0.5) + (20)(0.2) = 17.4

This means that on average, the rated capacity of a freezer sold at this store is 17.4 ft³.

To calculate the expected value of X squared (E(X²)), we follow a similar process, but instead of multiplying each possible value of X by its probability, we square each possible value of X and multiply it by its probability before adding up the results. Using the probability mass function given, we have:

E(X²) = (16²)(0.3) + (18²)(0.5) + (20²)(0.2) = 323.2

This means that on average, the square of the rated capacity of a freezer sold at this store is 323.2 ft⁶.

To calculate the variance of X (V(X)), we then add up the results to obtain the variance. Using the probability mass function given, we have:

V(X) = (16 - 17.4)²(0.3) + (18 - 17.4)²(0.5) + (20 - 17.4)²(0.2) = 2.16

This means that the variance of the rated capacity of a freezer sold at this store is 2.16 ft⁶. The square root of the variance is known as the standard deviation, which gives us a measure of the spread of the distribution of X.

The expression (1 + 1 / 18)¹⁸ represents the number closest to irrational number e. (Correct choice: A)

This problem ask us to determine what expression is closest to irrational number e. A number is irrational when it cannot be represented by numbers of the form m / n, where m and n are integers and n is non-zero. The number e can be defined by the following limit:

[tex]e = \lim_{x \to \infty} \left(1 + \frac{1}x}\right)^{x}[/tex], where x is a natural number.

According to this definition, the greater the value of x is, the closer the result to irrational number e is. Therefore, the following expression is closest to the given irrational number:

x = 18

e = (1 + 1 / 18)¹⁸
