Coach Kunal stacks all of the tennis balls in a square pyramid.
The number of tennis balls, P(n), in n layers of the square pyramid is given by P(n) = P(n – 1) + n^2.

Which could not be the number of tennis balls Coach Kunal has?

A. 30
B. 9
C. 5
D. 14

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is:  B. 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of tennis balls, [tex]P(n)[/tex] , in [tex]n[/tex] layers of the square pyramid is given by:   [tex]P(n)=P(n-1)+n^2[/tex]

As the stack of the tennis balls is in shape of a square pyramid, that means in the top layer, there will be one ball. So,  [tex]P(1)= 1[/tex]

Now, if [tex]n=2,[/tex] then [tex]P(2)= P(2-1)+(2)^2 = P(1)+4=1+4=5[/tex]

If  [tex]n=3,[/tex] then [tex]P(3)=P(3-1)+(3)^2=P(2)+9=5+9=14[/tex]

If  [tex]n=4,[/tex] then [tex]P(4)=P(4-1)+(4)^2 = P(3)+16=14+16=30[/tex]

That means, the number of tennis balls from the top layer will be:  1, 5, 14, 30, .......

So, the number of tennis balls that Coach Kunal could not have is 9.

Answer 2

the correct answer is b.9

A standard brick is 3.625 inches wide, 2.25 inches high, and 7.625 inches long. How many bricks could be in a pallet of bricks that measures 4 feet on all sides? (One cubic foot is 12×12×12 cubic inches.)

A. 1,757
B. 1,974
C. 1,709
D. 1,778

Answers

Answer: Option D. 1,778

Solution:

Standard brick:

Width: w=3.625 in

Height: h=2.25 in

Length: l=7.625 in

Volumen of one standard brick: v

v=w*h*l

v=(3.625 in)*(2.25 in)*(7.625 in)

v=62.19140625 in^3

Pallet of bricks:

Side: s=4 feet

s=(4 feet)*(12 in / 1 feet)→s=48 in

Volume of a pallet of bricks: V=s^3

V=(48 in)^3

V=110,592 in^3

Number of bricks could be in  a pallet: n

n=V/v

n=(110,592 in^3) / (62.19140625 in^3)

n=1,778.252119

n=1,778

Of the 36 students in the environmental club, 15 or boys and 21 are girls. The president of the club wants to add more boys so that the boys represent 50% of the students in the club.

Answers

Because 50% of something means half (because 100-50=50), he would have to make the number of girls and boys equal. Since there are 21 girls, he has to make it so there are also 21 boys.
So, if we know that 21-15=6, this means he would have to add 6 boys to the club if he wants the girls and boys equal.

in a certain​ chemical, the ratio of zinc to copper is 3 to 13. a jar of the chemical contains 403 grams of copper. how many grams of zinc does it​ contain?

HELP MEHH PLZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answers

Answer: 93 grams Zinc


Step-by-step explanation:

3 Zinc : 13 Copper

x 31       x 31            

93 Zinc,     403 Copper

or

set up a proportion, cross multiply, and solve for the variable:

[tex]\frac{Zinc}{Copper}: \frac{3}{13} = \frac{x}{403}[/tex]

3(403) = 13(x)

[tex]\frac{3(403)}{13} = x[/tex]

3(31) = x

93 = x


Final answer:

The amount of zinc in the chemical is determined by using the given ratio of zinc to copper and applying it to the given amount of copper. Step-by-step calculations reveal the quantity of zinc to be 93 grams.

Explanation:

The question is asking for the amount of zinc in a chemical where the ratio of zinc to copper is 3:13. To find out this, we need to solve for zinc in terms of the given amount of copper.

First, understand that the ratio means for every 3 grams of zinc, there are 13 grams of copper. Now, simply set up a proportion where 3/13 = x/403. Here x is the amount of zinc in grams we are trying to find. 3/13 is the zinc to copper ratio and 403 is the known amount of copper in grams.

When you cross multiply and solve for x, you'll find that x = 3 * 403 / 13 = 93 grams. This means, if there are 403 grams of copper, then there must be "93 grams of zinc".

Mary has a planting pot with a circumference of 92 cm. If a plants' directions state that it must be planted directly in the middle of the pot, what would be the exact measurement? Hint: Find the radius.

24.64 cm
14.64 cm
19.64 cm
22.64 cm

Answers

Answer:

14.64 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

this problem is finding radius of a circle from the circumference given.

Circumference of a circle = 2(3.14) r

Using the above we can find one if we know the other.  In our case we know circumference and calculate radius.

Circumference = 2(3.14)r= 92 cm

Hence r = 92/2(3.14) = 14.6497cm

apprxoximately 14.64 cm is close to the answer

Hence answer is 14.64 cm.


Answer:

14.64 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a planting pot = 92 cm

To find the measurement of the plant which is planted directly planted in the middle of the pot, we need to find the radius of the planting pot.

We know that the formula of the circumference of a circle is:

Circumference = [tex]2\pi r[/tex]

Therefore, putting the value of the circumference in the formula to get:

92 = 2 x 3.14 x r

r = 92 / (3.12 x 2) = 14.64 cm

Therefore the plant is 14.64 cm long.

Alejandro needs to buy bird seed from the local pet store for his parrots. A

$12.55.
The pet store also sells loose bird seed for
$1.49
per pound. The sales tax is already included in these prices. Alejandro wants to buy a
10
lb. bag of bird seed and some loose bird seed. If he has
$20,
how many pounds of loose bird seed can he buy after purchasing the
10
lb. bag?

Answers

First take note he only has $20 and the bag he must buy is $12.55. Also the loose seeds are $1.49 per pound.

To solve subtract 12.55 from 20

20-12.55=7.45

So after buying the 10 lb bag he has $7.45 left now divide that by 1.49

7.45/1.49=5

So after buying the 10 lb bag he can also buy 5 lb of the loose seeds!

Which points are collinear with points A and B ?

Answers

The collinear points with A and B are:

- A, B, R

- B, D, T

- C, D, U

- B, S, G (where G is the centroid of AEDC).

In the given pyramid BAEDC, the collinear points with points A and B are determined by the midpoints and the line coming from B.

1. Midpoint of BA is R:

  - Points A, B, and R are collinear.

2. Midpoint of BD is T:

  - Points B, D, and T are collinear.

3. Midpoint of CD is U:

  - Points C, D, and U are collinear.

4. Line coming from B meets at S, the midpoint of AEDC:

  - Points A, E, D, C, and B are vertices of the pyramid, and S is the midpoint of the line segment connecting B to the centroid of the base AEDC.

  - Therefore, points B, S, and the centroid (G) of AEDC are collinear.

In summary, the collinear points with A and B are:

- A, B, R

- B, D, T

- C, D, U

- B, S, G (where G is the centroid of AEDC).

The temperature decreased overnight by 15.2°C to a temperature of –12.8°C. Suppose t represents the temperature before it decreased.



Which equation can be used to represent this situation?



A.


t – 15.2 = –12.8


B.


t + 12.8 = –15.2


C.


t – 12.8 = 15.2


D.


t – (–15.2) = –12.8

Answers

Answer:

Option a

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that temperature originally was t.

It was decreasing continuously overnight.

finally the temperature reading was -12.8 degree C

Given that it decreased by 15.2 degree C

This means original temperature -15.2 = new temperature -12.8

i.e. t-15.2 = -12.8 is the correct equation.

Option a is right.

Verify:

Solve to get t = 15.2-12.8 = 2.4

Hence when 2.4 decreases by 15.2 we get new temperature

= 2.4-15.2 = -12.8

An up-and-coming band has seen a 50% monthly increase in the the number of audience members at their concerts. At the band's first concert, there were 40 people in the audience. If this trend continues, which of the following graphs represents the number of audience members, y, after x months?

Answers

We are given that initially there were 40 people in the audience.

And an up-and-coming band has seen a 50% monthly increase in the the number of audience members at their concerts.

The number of audience members is represented by y variable and

Number of months is represented by x variable.

So, the exponential function would be

y= a(b)^x

Where a is the initial value, b is the growth factors.

a= 40 and b= 1+ 0.50 = 1.50.

Therefore,

y= 40(1.50)^x is the exponential function situation.

Let us check some point on the graph.

If we plug x=0, we get initial value 40.

If we pug x=2, we get

y=40(1.50)^2 = 40(2.25) = 90.

Graph C represents y=40 at x=0 and y=90 at x=2.

Therefore, correct option is C option.

mary pitches a ball. the initial height is 4 ft and velocity 55 ft per second. when will the ball hit the ground?

Answers

Answer:

t = 3.5 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that represents the position of the ball as a function of time is the following:

[tex]h(t) =P_{o} + V_{o}t+\frac{1}{2}2at^2[/tex]

Where:

[tex]P_{o}[/tex] = Initial position of the ball (4 feet tall)

[tex]V_{0}[/tex] = Initial speed of the ball (55feet / s)

a = acceleration (9.8 [tex]\frac{m}{s^2}[/tex], or in this case 32.16[tex]\frac{ft}{s^2}[/tex])

t = time in seconds

Then we want to know how long it takes to get to the ground, for this we equal h (t) = 0 and clear t.

So:

[tex]0 = 4 + 55t -16.08t ^ 2[/tex]

Solving the second degree equation we have:

[tex]\frac{-b+\sqrt{b ^ 2-4ac}}{2a} \\ \frac{-b-\sqrt{b ^ 2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{-55+\sqrt{55^2-4 (-16.08) 4}}{2 (-16.08)}= -0.0712\\\frac{-55-\sqrt{55^2-4 (-16.08) 4}}{2 (-16.08)} = 3.492[/tex]

t = -0.071 sec

t = 3.5 sec

We must take the positive solution.

So:

t = 3.5 sec
