A Huge Ping-Pong Tournament Is Held In Beijing With 65,536 Participants At The Start Of The Tournament.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]P(r)=65536(\frac{1}{2})^{r}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the total number of participants in the tournament is 65,536 people, and the exponential decay is [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex], using [tex]P(r)[/tex] as the representative of the number of people after [tex]r[/tex] rounds, the formula to represent the model would be [tex]P(r)=65536(\frac{1}{2})^{r}[/tex].

Answer 2

Answer:

[tex]p_r = 65\ 536 \div 2^r = 65\ 536 \div 2^-^r = 2^{16-r}; r\ \in \{0,1,2,3...16\}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Pet peeve of mine: let's call it [tex]p_r[/tex]  (read p sub r)since it's a representation over the natural numbers and not over [tex]\mathbb{R}[/tex].

Old man yelling at clouds moment gone, we know that the number of people gets halved every time so

At round 0, we do not halve, so [tex]p_0 = 65\ 536\div 1[/tex]

At round 1, we halve once, so [tex]p_1 = 65\ 536\div 2[/tex]

At round 2, we halve twice, so [tex]p_2 = 65\ 536\div 4 = 65\ 536\div 2^2[/tex]

At round 3, we halve three times, so [tex]p_3 = 65\ 536\div 8 = 65\ 536\div 2^3[/tex]

...

At round k, we halved k times, so [tex]p_k = 65\ 536 \div 2^k[/tex]

...

At round 16 we [tex]2^1^6 =65\ 536[/tex] so we have a winner.

That allows us to write a formula. I personally find the last one to be the neater, but any of the three is formally correct.

[tex]p_r = 65\ 536 \div 2^r = 65\ 536 \div 2^-^r = 2^{16-r}; r\ \in \{0,1,2,3...16\}[/tex]

Answer:

E) 36 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Formulae

Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x heightArea of a rectangle = width x length

The shape is made up of 2 congruent triangles and 3 different rectangles.

Area of triangle = 1/2 x 3 x 4 = 6 ft²

Area of rectangle 1 = 2 x 4 = 8 ft²

Area of rectangle 2 = 2 x 3 = 6 ft²

To calculate the area of the 3rd triangle, we need to use Pythagoras' Theorem to determine the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

   a² + b² = c²

⇒ 3² + 4² = c²

⇒ 25 = c²

⇒ c = √(25)

⇒ c = 5 ft

Therefore, area of rectangle 3 = 2 x 5 = 10 ft²

Total Surface Area

Total SA = 2 triangles + rectangle 1 + rectangle 2 + rectangle 3

               = (2 x 6) + 8 + 6 + 10

               = 36 ft²

Graph a rectangle with an area of 12 square units. State the lengths of each of the sides. Write your answer LxW (length of one side X length of the other side)​ please help

Answers

A rectangle with area of 12 square units would have sides of length 4 units and 3 units. Area would therefore be 4 x 5.

What are the side lengths of this rectangle?

A rectangle must be such that one side is longer than the other side.

The area of a rectangle is found as:

= Length x Width

As the area is 12, the length and width have to be numbers that when multiplied, will give you 12.

The factors of 12 which allow this to happen are:

= 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

From here you can use 3 and 4.

Answer:

x = a/(p+q)

x = 2 or x = 1/2

x = -2

m≤ -1 or m<4

-1 , 0 , 1 , 2 and 3.....................since : -1 ≥ m < 4.

x = -3 and y = 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first one is just making x to be the subject of the formula by factorising p and q. Then dividing both sides by (p + q).

px + qx = a........................... x (p + q) = a............divide sides by ( p+q) to get the expression.

Solve quadratically for the second one.

For the third one, apply the laws of indices to work out.

32 = ( 1/2)^-5..............so, ( 1/2)^3x + 1   = ( 1/2)^-5.......Drop the base numbers since they are common.

3x + 1 = -5.........then solve to get x as -2.

For the fourth one, we solve for m by separating it into 2.

the first one is: -11 ≤ 3m - 8.

the second one: 3m - 8 < 4

then solve like a normal equation but maintain the inequality signs.

What is an expression?

An expression is a way of writing a statement with more than two variables or numbers with operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Temperature:

Saturday = L= 75.5°F ______(1)

Sunday = M = Rose by 6°F

M = L + 6 _____(2)

Monday = N = Dropped by 3.5°F

N = L + 6 - 3.5 _____(3)

The expression that represents the temperature change:

From (1), (2), and (3) we get

N = L + 6°F + 3.5°F

The temperature on Monday:

N = 75.5 + 6 + 3.5

N = 85°F

Answers

Mary will receive 1512.4931 more Yen if she makes her trade on the day with the most favorable exchange rate than that of the least favorable exchange rate.

What is the exchange rate?

It is the factor by which currency conversion of two countries is done.

The most Favorable day is Friday because the exchange rate on Friday is the highest.

So, Mary will receive on Friday= 311.75 x 92.7120 x 94/100

Mary will receive on Friday(a)=27168.788 Yen

The least Favorable day is Wednesday because the exchange rate on Wednesday is the least.

So, Mary will receive on Wednesday= 311.75 x 87.5507 x 94/100

So, Mary will receive on Wednesday(b)= 25,656.2949 Yen

Difference between (a) and (b) = 1512.4931 Yen

Hence, Mary will receive 1512.4931 more Yen if she makes her trade on the day with the most favorable exchange rate than if she makes her trade on the day with the least favorable exchange rate.

The interior angles of a simple quadrilateral ABCD add up to 360 degrees of arc.

Answer:

Angle x = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

All angles of any quadrilateral sum up to 360°.

So here, already measure of 3 angles are given.

So if we add up all angles + Angle x then it sums up to 360°.

So, the following steps will lead you to the answer:

73° + 157° + 90° + Angle x = 360°

(Now add up the measure of the three given angles)

320° + Angle x = 360°

(Now, through transposition moves 320° to the RHS) (Remember when transposing the signs change)

Angle x = 360° - 320°

Angle x = 40°

Answers

Answer:

12 days

Explanation:

480 >/= 36.39x + 20.25

The  inequality to determine x, the maximum number of days Miguel

can afford to rent while staying within his budget is

202.5 + 36.39x ≤ 480

What is inequality?

It shows a relationship between two numbers or two expressions.

There are commonly used four inequalities:

Less than = <

Greater than = >

Less than and equal = ≤

Greater than and equal = ≥

We have,

Charges per day = $36.39

Charges per mile = $0.90

Total miles = 225

Total charges for 225 miles.

= 225 x 0.90

= $202.5

The maximum amount to spend = $480

The inequality for the maximum number of x days.

202.5 + 36.39x ≤ 480

We know,

Where PV is present value of loan.

r is rate of interest

n is time period.

Given loan is calculated semi annually,

So PV = $ 8561

r=9.1 % =9.1/200

and time period is 3 years = 6 number of period as semi annually.

Thus, Substitute,

We get,
