Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
You can test this out with a number.
try dividing 23 by 8:
you will get 2 remainder 7 which works for the condition.
Note: Whenever you divide a number by x(other number) the remainder will always have to be to less than x:
The only one that applies to this aforementioned condition is 8.
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
The remainder can never be greater than the number by which it is divided
For example:
n = any number
n / 2 -> The remainder will never be greater than 2 (0 < remainder <2)
n / 3 -> The remainder will never be greater than 3 (0 < remainder <3)
n / 4 -> The remainder will never be greater than 4 (0 < remainder <4)
n / 5 -> The remainder will never be greater than 5 (0 < remainder <5)
n / 6 -> The remainder will never be greater than 6 (0 < remainder <6)

11. Caroline wraps packages at a store. She wraps
9 packages each hour. Which statement is true
about the number of packages she wraps?
A. In 2 hours, Caroline wraps an odd number of
packages.
B. In 3 hours, Caroline wraps an even number of
packages.
C. In 5 hours, Caroline wraps an odd number of
packages.
D. In 7 hours, Caroline wraps an even number of
packages.
Answer:
C. in five hours Caroline wraps an odd number of packages
Step-by-step explanation:
for A until hours you would multiply 2 by 9 and 2 by 9 is 18 and that's an even number so it's not A.
A eliminated.
for B in 3 hours 3 by 9 is 27 and that's an odd number so B is automatically eliminated.
for C in 5 hours all you would do is multiply the 9 by 5 and 9 by 5 is 45 and 45 is indeed an odd number so C is your answer.
for D 7 by 9 is 63 and 63 is an odd number so we already know that C is the answer but still we got to check and D is wrong because 63 is not an even number.
A man walking on a railroad bridge is 2/5 of the way along the bridge when he notices a train at a distance approaching at the constant rate of 45 mph . The man can run at a constant rate in either direction to get off the bridge just in time before the train hits him. How fast can the man run?
Answer:
The Man needs to run at 9 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let M stand for the man's speed in mph. When the man
runs toward point A, the relative speed of the train with respect
to the man is the train's speed plus the man's speed (45 + M).
When he runs toward point B, the relative speed of the train is the
train's speed minus the man's speed (45 - M).
When he runs toward the train the distance he covers is 2 units.
When he runs in the direction of the train the distance he covers
is 3 units. We can now write that the ratio of the relative speed
of the train when he is running toward point A to the relative speed
of the train when he is running toward point B, is equal to the
inverse ratio of the two distance units or
(45 + M) 3
----------- = ---
(45 - M) 2
90+2 M=135-3 M
⇒5 M = 45
⇒ M = 9 mph
The Man needs to run at 9 mph
Answer: 9 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a man walking on a railroad bridge is 2/5 of the way along the bridge when he notices a train at a distance approaching at the constant rate of 45 mph .
If the man tend to run in the forward direction, he will cover another 2/5 before the train reaches his initial position. The distance covered by the man will be 2/5 + 2/5 = 4/5
The remaining distance = 1 - 4/5 = 1/5
If the man can run at a constant rate in either direction to get off the bridge just in time before the train hits him, the time it will take the man will be
Speed = distance/time
Time = 1/5d ÷ speed
The time it will take the train to cover the entire distance d will be
Time = d ÷ 45
Equate the two time
1/5d ÷ speed = d ÷ 45
Speed = d/5 × 45/d
Speed = 9 mph

Step-by-step explanation:
Question 1: The chance of losing would be 100% - 40% = 60%.
Question 2: Again, we just have to do 100% - 13% = 87%.
Answer:
Below
Step-by-step explanation:
First question:
Jade has a 40% chance of winnig wich could be expressed as 2/5
The chance of losing is the remainning pourcentage from 100%
●100-40 =60%
60% is the chance of losing wich could be expressed as 3/5
The sum of 3/5 and 2/5 is 1 so it's true.

Solve the following system of equations. Express your answer as an ordered pair in the format (a,b). 3x+4y=17 -4x-7y=-18
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+4y = 17 _______ equation 1
-4x -7y= -18 _______ equation 2
muliply by 4 in equation 1
12x + 16y = 68 ______ equation 3
multiply by 3 in equation 2
-12x - 21y = -54 ________ equation 4
add equation 3 & 4
- 5y = 14
y = - 14/5
substitute y in equation 1
3x + 4 (-14/5) =17
3x = 17+ (56/5)
3x =( 85 + 56) / 5
3x = 141/5
x = 47/5
hence (a,b) = (47/5, -14/5)
Use the Ratio Test to determine the convergence or divergence of the series. If the Ratio Test is inconclusive, determine the convergence or divergence of the series using other methods.
[infinity] n = 1 n2/5n n = 1
lim n→[infinity] an + 1/an =
a. converges
b. diverges
Answer:
A. The series CONVERGESStep-by-step explanation:
If [tex]\sum a_n[/tex] is a series, for the series to converge/diverge according to ratio test, the following conditions must be met.
[tex]\lim_{n \to \infty} |\frac{a_n_+_1}{a_n}| = \rho[/tex]
If [tex]\rho[/tex] < 1, the series converges absolutely
If [tex]\rho > 1[/tex], the series diverges
If [tex]\rho = 1[/tex], the test fails.
Given the series [tex]\sum\left\ {\infty} \atop {1} \right \frac{n^2}{5^n}[/tex]
To test for convergence or divergence using ratio test, we will use the condition above.
[tex]a_n = \frac{n^2}{5^n} \\a_n_+_1 = \frac{(n+1)^2}{5^{n+1}}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{a_n_+_1}{a_n} = \frac{{\frac{(n+1)^2}{5^{n+1}}}}{\frac{n^2}{5^n} }\\\\ \frac{a_n_+_1}{a_n} = {{\frac{(n+1)^2}{5^{n+1}} * \frac{5^n}{n^2}\[/tex]
[tex]\frac{a_n_+_1}{a_n} = {{\frac{(n^2+2n+1)}{5^n*5^1}} * \frac{5^n}{n^2}\\[/tex]
aₙ₊₁/aₙ =
[tex]\lim_{n \to \infty} |\frac{ n^2+2n+1}{5n^2}| \\\\Dividing\ through\ by \ n^2\\\\\lim_{n \to \infty} |\frac{ n^2/n^2+2n/n^2+1/n^2}{5n^2/n^2}|\\\\\lim_{n \to \infty} |\frac{1+2/n+1/n^2}{5}|\\\\[/tex]
note that any constant dividing infinity is equal to zero
[tex]|\frac{1+2/\infty+1/\infty^2}{5}|\\\\[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1+0+0}{5}\\ = 1/5[/tex]
[tex]\rho = 1/5[/tex]
Since The limit of the sequence given is less than 1, hence the series converges.

A baseball is hit into the air, and its height h in feet after t seconds is given by h(t)= -16t^2+128t+2. The height of the baseball when it is hit is ? The baseball reaches its maximum height after ? The maximum height of the baseball is ?
Answer:
[tex]\large \boxed{\sf \ \text{2 feet, 4 seconds, 258 feet } \ }[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello,
To know the height of the baseball when it is hit we have to compute h(0), as t = 0 is when the baseball is hit into the air.
[tex]h(0)=-16\cdot 0^2+128 \cdot 0+2=2[/tex]
So, the answer is 2 feet.
h(x) is a parabola which can be written as [tex]ax^2+bx+c[/tex], it means that the vertex is the point (-b/2a,h(-b/2a)).
The baseball reached its maximum height after
[tex]\dfrac{-b}{2a}=\dfrac{-128}{-2*16}=\boxed{4 \text{ seconds}}[/tex]
And the maximum height of the baseball is h(4).
[tex]h(0)=-16\cdot 4^2+128 \cdot 4+2=-256+512+2=\boxed{258 \ \text{feet}}[/tex]
Hope this helps.

Given that cot(0)= -1/2
and O is in Quadrant II, what is sin(0)? Write your answer in exact form. Do not round.
Provide your answer below:
Answer:
sin(O) = 2/sqrt(5) or 2sqrt(1/5)
Step-by-step explanation:
using 1+cot^2(x) = csc^2(x)
we have, taking reciprocal on both sides,
sin(x) = 1/sqrt(1+cot^2(x)
= 1/sqrt(1+(-1/2)^2)
= 1/sqrt(5/4)
= 2/sqrt(5) or 2sqrt(1/5)
Since angle x is in the second quadrant, sin(x) is positive.

= (29+41.5)/2
= (70.5) /2 = 35.25
The half-life of iron-52 is approximately 8.3 hours. Step 1 of 3: Determine a so that A(t)=A0at describes the amount of iron-52 left after t hours, where A0 is the amount at time t=0. Round to six decimal places.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the half like of a material to be 8.3 hours and the amount of iron-52 left after t hours is modeled by the equation [tex]A(t) = A_0 a^{t}[/tex], we can get A(t) as shown;
At t = 8.3 hours, A(8.3) = 1/2
Initially at t = 0; A(0) = 1
Substituting this values into the function we will have;
[tex]\frac{1}{2} = 1 * a^{8.3}\\\\Taking \ the \ log \ of\ both \ sides;\\\\log(\frac{1}{2} ) = log(a^{8.3} )\\\\log(\frac{1}{2} ) = 8.3 log(a)\\\\\fr-0.30103 = 8.3 log(a)\\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by \ 8.3\\\\\frac{-0.30103}{8.3} = log(a)\\\\log(a) = - 0.03627\\\\a =10^{-0.03627} \\\\a = 0.919878 (to\ 6dp)[/tex]

Answer:
a. P(0 < z < 3.00) = 0.4987
b. P(0 < z < 1.00) = 0.3414
c. P(0 < z < 2.00) = 0.4773
d. P(0 < z < 0.79) = 0.2852
e. P(-3.00 < z < 0) = 0.4987
f. P(-1.00 < z < 0) = 0.3414
g. P(-1.58 < z < 0) = 0.4429
h. P(-0.79 < z < 0) = 0.2852
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the area under the standard normal probability distribution between the following pairs of z-scores.
a. z=0 and z=3.00
From the standard normal distribution tables,
P(Z< 0) = 0.5 and P (Z< 3.00) = 0.9987
Thus;
P(0 < z < 3.00) = 0.9987 - 0.5
P(0 < z < 3.00) = 0.4987
b. b. z=0 and z=1.00
From the standard normal distribution tables,
P(Z< 0) = 0.5 and P (Z< 1.00) = 0.8414
Thus;
P(0 < z < 1.00) = 0.8414 - 0.5
P(0 < z < 1.00) = 0.3414
c. z=0 and z=2.00
From the standard normal distribution tables,
P(Z< 0) = 0.5 and P (Z< 2.00) = 0.9773
Thus;
P(0 < z < 2.00) = 0.9773 - 0.5
P(0 < z < 2.00) = 0.4773
d. z=0 and z=0.79
From the standard normal distribution tables,
P(Z< 0) = 0.5 and P (Z< 0.79) = 0.7852
Thus;
P(0 < z < 0.79) = 0.7852- 0.5
P(0 < z < 0.79) = 0.2852
e. z=−3.00 and z=0
From the standard normal distribution tables,
P(Z< -3.00) = 0.0014 and P(Z< 0) = 0.5
Thus;
P(-3.00 < z < 0 ) = 0.5 - 0.0013
P(-3.00 < z < 0) = 0.4987
f. z=−1.00 and z=0
From the standard normal distribution tables,
P(Z< -1.00) = 0.1587 and P(Z< 0) = 0.5
Thus;
P(-1.00 < z < 0 ) = 0.5 - 0.1586
P(-1.00 < z < 0) = 0.3414
g. z=−1.58 and z=0
From the standard normal distribution tables,
P(Z< -1.58) = 0.0571 and P(Z< 0) = 0.5
Thus;
P(-1.58 < z < 0 ) = 0.5 - 0.0571
P(-1.58 < z < 0) = 0.4429
h. z=−0.79 and z=0
From the standard normal distribution tables,
P(Z< -0.79) = 0.2148 and P(Z< 0) = 0.5
Thus;
P(-0.79 < z < 0 ) = 0.5 - 0.2148
P(-0.79 < z < 0) = 0.2852

Answer:
a = 8
b = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
You have the following function:
[tex]f(x)\\\\=at+b;\ \ t<2\\\\2t^2-1;\ \ 2\leq t[/tex]
A function is differentiable at a point c, if the derivative of the function in such a point exists. That is, f'(c) exists.
In this case, you need that the function is differentiable for t=2, then, you have:
[tex]f'(t)=a;\ \ \ \ t<2 \\\\f'(t)=4t;\ \ \ 2\leq t[/tex]
If the derivative exists for t=2, it is necessary that the previous derivatives are equal:
[tex]f'(2)=a=4(2)\\\\a=8[/tex]
Furthermore it is necessary that for t=2, both parts of the function are equal:
[tex]8(2)+b=2(2)^2-1\\\\16+b=8-1\\\\b=-8[/tex]
Then, a = 8, b = -8

Four friends are on a basketball team. During a game, each friend kept track of how many shots they attempted and how many of those attempts they made. Henry made 0.45 of his shots. Allison made Arthur made of her shots. of his shots. Trevor missed 58% of his shots. Which friend had the best record for the number of shots made?
Answer:
Henry had the best record for the number of shots made
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information.
Four friends are on a basketball team.
Henry
Allison
Arthur
Trevor
We are being told that Henry made 0.45 of his shots out of all his attempts
Allison made Arthur made of her shots of his shots.
i,e Arthur did the work for Allison , so out of Arthur's shot , we have to figured out Allison shots,
Trevor missed 58% of his shots.
i.e Trevor failed 0.58 of his shot, If he failed 0.58 shot
Then the attempts Trevor made is :
= 1 - 0.58
= 0.42
SO , Trevor made 0.42 shots out of all his attempt
N:B We are not given any information about Arthur's shots , so we can't determine Allison shot as well.
Therefore; we will focus on only Henry and Trevor shots
So ;
Henry made 0.45 of his shots
Trevor made 0.42 out of his shots
We can thereby conclude that :
Henry had the best record for the number of shots made

43 mountain climbers have not climbed either mountain.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of mountain climbers, i.e. n(U) = 60
Number of mountain climbers who have climbed Mt. Everest, n(E) = 10
Number of mountain climbers who have climbed Mt. Rainier, n(R) = 15
Number of mountain climbers who have climbed both, n(E [tex]\cap[/tex] R) = 15
Using the formula to find number of climbers who have climbed either of the mountains:
[tex]n(A \cup B) = n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cup B )[/tex]
[tex]\therefore n(E \cup R) = n(E)+n(R)-n(E\cup R )\\\Rightarrow n(E \cup R) = 10+15-8 = 17[/tex]
To find, who have not climbed either mountain:
[tex]n(E\cup B)'=n(U) - n(E\cap B)\\\Rightarrow n(E\cup B)'=60 - 17 = \bold{43}[/tex]
So, the answer is:
43 mountain climbers have not climbed either mountain.
CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE? Jen Butler has been pricing Speed-Pass train fares for a group trip to New York. Three adults and four children must pay $106. Two adults and three children must pay $75. Find the price of the adult's ticket and the price of a child's ticket.
Answer:
The adult ticket costs $18 and the children ticket costs $13.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the price of the adult ticket be a.
Let the price of the children ticket be c.
Three adults and four children must pay $106. This implies that:
3a + 4c = 106 _______(1)
Two adults and three children must pay $75. This implies that:
2a + 3c = 75 ________(2)
We have two simultaneous equations:
3a + 4c = 106 _____(1)
2a + 3c = 75 ______(2)
Multiply (1) by 2 and (2) by 3 and subtract (1) from (2):
6a + 9c = 225
- (6a + 8c = 212)
c = $13
Put this value of c in (2):
2a + 3*13 = 75
2a + 39 = 75
=> 2a = 75 - 39
2a = 36
a = 36/2 = $18
Therefore, the adult ticket costs $18 and the children ticket costs $13.
If I set my alarm to read 8:10 when it is really 8:00 (i.e., it is 10 minutes fast) and the alarm goes off each day when it reads 8:10, it will be ___________ but not ___________.
Answer:
If I set my alarm to read 8:10 when it is really 8:00 (i.e., it is 10 minutes fast) and the alarm goes off each day when it reads 8:10, it will be reliable but not valid.
Step-by-step explanation:
If I set my alarm to wake me earlier than I need to be woken, it might be in order to give me enough time to adjust to the alarm, and be awake enough to get out of bed before the normal time I need to be out of bed. This method is very reliable, as there is a very little probability of me waking up late, since I have a 10 minutes head start everyday to get out of bed. The problem is that this method is not valid, since I now actually wake earlier than I am supposed to. The extra 10 minutes can actually lead to a disorientation with time.
