The lowest common denominator is lcm(5, 3), which is 15.
The sum of 2/5 + 5/3 + 9/3 is 6/15 + 25/15 + 45/15, which is 76/15 or [tex]5\frac{1}{15}[/tex].
The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time it takes for a quantity of the Isotope to be reduced to half its initial mass. Starting with 210 grams of a
radioactive isotope, how much will be left after 6 half-lives?
Round your answer to the nearest gram
Answer:
after 6 half lives: 210(1/2)^6= 3.28125
Step-by-step explanation:
isotope to be reduced to half its initial mass at first:
210(1/2)=105 half it is original weight
after second life: 210(1/2)^2=105(1/2)=52.5
after third : 210(1/2)^3=52.5/2=26.25
after fourth : 26.25/2=12.125
after fifth : 13.125/2
after 6 half lives: 210(1/2)^6= 3.28125
Use Bayes' theorem to find the indicated probability 5.8% of a population is infected with a certain disease. There is a test for the disease, however the test is not completely accurate. 93.9% of those who have the disease test positive. However 4.1% of those who do not have the disease also test positive (false positives). A person is randomly selected and tested for the disease. What is the probability that the person has the disease given that the test result is positive?
a. 0.905
b. 0.585
c. 0.038
d. 0.475
Answer:
b. 0.585
Step-by-step explanation:
According to Bayes' theorem:
[tex]P(A|B)=\frac{P(B|A)*P(A)}{P(B)}[/tex]
Let A = Person is infected, and B = Person tested positive. Then:
P(B|A) = 93.9%
P(A) = 5.8%
P(B) = P(infected and positive) + P(not infected and positive)
[tex]P(B) = 0.058*0.939+(1-0.058)*0.041\\P(B)=0.09308[/tex]
Therefore, the probability that a person has the disease given that the test result is positive, P(A|B), is:
[tex]P(A|B)=\frac{0.939*0.058}{0.09308}\\P(A|B)=0.585[/tex]
The probability is 0.585.

A rectangular waterbed is 7 ft long 5 ft wide and 1 ft tall
How many gallons of water are needed to fill the waterbed?
Assume i gallon is 013 cu ft. Round to the nearest whole galon
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
We want to find the volume of this rectangular waterbed. This means the amount of space it takes up. To find the volume of a rectangular prism, you just multiply together the three side lengths.
7×5×1=35 cubic feet
Now, we need to see how many gallons fit into 35 cubic feet. We see that one gallon is equal to 0.13 cubic feet. So, we can set up a proportion to find how many gallons are needed. We will use g to represent our missing number of gallons.
[tex]\frac{gallons}{cubic feet} = \frac{1}{0.13} =\frac{g}{35}[/tex]
In a proportion, the products of the diagonal numbers are equal. This means that 35, which is 1 multiplied by 35, is equal to 0.13g, which is from multiplying 0.13 by the g.
0.13g=35
We divide both sides by 0.13/
g≈269.23
When rounded to the nearest whole gallon, we will need 269 gallons of water to fill the waterbed.
I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day! :D
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the waterbed is rectangular, its volume would be determined by applying the formula for determining the volume of a cuboid which is expressed as
Volume = length × width × height
Therefore,
Volume of waterbed = 7 × 5 × 1 = 35 cubic feet
1 US gallon = 0.133680556 cubic feet
Therefore, converting 35cubic feet to gallons, it becomes
35/0.133680556 = 261.81818094772 gallons
Rounding up to whole gallon, it becomes 262 gallons
Which parent function is represented by the graph?
A. The quadratic parent function
B. The absolute value parent function
C. An exponential parent function
D. The linear parent function
Answer:
D. The linear parent function
Step-by-step explanation:
Linear functions are always characterized by a straight line graph with or without an intercept on the vertical or horizontal axis. A linear function usually has an independent variable and a dependent variable. The independent variable is commonly depicted as x while the dependent variable is y.
Thus a linear equation is an equation of the type y=ax where a is a constant term. The equation of a straight line graph his y=mx +c, where;
m= gradient of the straight line graph
x= the independent variable
y= the dependent variable
c= the vertical intercept
Answer:
The linear parent function :)

explain square roots
Answer:A square root of a number is a value that, when multiplied by itself, gives the number. Example: 4 × 4 = 16, so a square root of 16 is 4. Note that (−4) × (−4) = 16 too, so −4 is also a square root of 16. The symbol is √ which always means the positive square root. Example: √36 = 6 (because 6 x 6 = 36)
