Answer 1
I got 5,300. I’m not sure if that’s what you meant for “d”.
Answer 2

Answer:

c) [tex]5^{6}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that there are [tex](5^3)^2\cdot 5^0[/tex] hens in a bird enclosure. We are asked to find the total number of hens in the enclosure.

Using exponent property [tex]a^0=1[/tex], we will get:

[tex](5^3)^2\cdot 1[/tex]

[tex](5^3)^2[/tex]

Using exponent property [tex](a^b)^c=a^{b\cdot c}[/tex], we will get:

[tex]5^{3\cdot 2}[/tex]

[tex]5^{6}[/tex]

Therefore, there are total number of hens in the enclosure would be [tex]5^{6}[/tex].

Rewrite the given expression in the form 2^u where u is a constant or an algebraic expression.

1/2^5 = ? (Put the answer in exponential notation.)

Answers

To rewrite 1/2^5 in exponential notation, remember that 1/2^5 is the same as 2^-5. Therefore, 1/2^5 = 2^-5.

Rewrite the given expression in the form 2u where u is a constant or an algebraic expression.

To rewrite 1/25 in exponential notation, we need to understand that 1/25 is the same as (2-1)5. Using the property of exponents, we can rewrite this as 2-5, where -5 is the new exponent.

Therefore, 1/25 = 2-5, where u = -5.

Write the slope-intercept form of an equation of the line that passes through (2,-4) and (0,6)

Answers

Hey there!

In order to write the slope-intercept form, we have to have slope, and the y intercepts, just as it says in the name. In order to find slope with two points, we use our formula:

y2-y1/x2-x1 =
6-(-4)/0-2 = 6+4/-2 =
10/-2 = -5

Now that we know our slope is negative five, we can use one of those poins to model our slope intercept form, y= mx+b, using our slope, to solve for b, our y intercepts. We'll use (0,6).

We have:

6 = -2(0) + b
6 = 0 + b
6 = b

Now, since we have the slope and y intercept, we can write the equation:

y = -2x + 6

Hope this helps!

we know that

the equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is equal to

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

where

m is the slope of the line

b is the y-intercept of the line

Let

[tex]A(2,-4)\\B(0,6)[/tex]

Step [tex]1[/tex]

Find the slope of the line AB

the slope between two pints is equal to

[tex]m=\frac{(y2-y1)}{(x2-x1)}[/tex]

substitute the values

[tex]mAB=\frac{(6+4)}{(0-2)}[/tex]

[tex]mAB=\frac{(10)}{(-2)}[/tex]

[tex]mAB=-5[/tex]

with the slope m and the point B find the value of b

[tex]B(0,6)[/tex]

[tex]6=-5*0+b[/tex]

[tex]b=6[/tex]

Find the equation of the line

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Matt has a quiz every 6th day of class, and Meg has a quiz every 3rd day of class. When will they have a quiz on the same day?

Answers

Since Matt has a quiz every 6 days and Meg has one every 3 days, every time Matt has a quiz Meg will also since 3 + 3 is 6.  

Every other quiz for Meg will be with Matt, and their first one together will be on the 6th day of class. 
Hope this helps!

The correct answer is:

The 6th day.

Explanation:

To solve this, we find the least common multiple (LCM) of 3 and 6.  We find the prime factorization of each number:

3 = 3×1

6 = 2×3

We multiply the common factor, 3, by the uncommon factors, 2 and 1:

3×2×1 = 6

The LCM is 6; this means they will both have a quiz on the 6th day.

Answers

6x - 15 = 90
6x = 90 + 15
6x = 105
x = 105/6
x = 17.5

Answer:  The correct option is

(D) 17.5.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that in the diagram shown, AC is perpendicular to BD, where

[tex]m\angle BEC=(6x-15)^\circ,\\\\m\angle AED=(3y+12)^\circ.[/tex]

We are to find the value of x.

Since AC is perpendicular to BD and they are intersecting each other at the point E.

So, all the four angles made by this intersection are right angles.

That is, angle BEC is also a right angle.

Therefore, we get

[tex]m\angle BEC=90^circ\\\\\Rightarrow (6x-15)^\circ=90^\circ\\\\\Rightarrow 6x-15=90\\\\\Rightarrow 6x=105\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{105}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow x=17.5.[/tex]

Thus, the required value of x is 17.5.

Option (D) is CORRECT.

Ferris wheel is drawn on a coordinate plane so that the first car is located at the point (30,0). What are the coordinates of the first car after a rotation of 270° about the origin?

Answers

Answer:

1. option A is correct i.e., [tex]\(90^{\circ}[/tex].

2. option B is correct.

3. the coordinates of the car after a rotation of [tex]\(270^{\circ}[/tex] is (0,-30).

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The angle of rotation is [tex]\(90^{\circ}[/tex].

To calculate the angle of rotation we can use a protractor and measure the angle between two corresponding angles, using point C as a center.


2. Given: ΔPRS with coordinates P(-3,2), R(2,5) and S(0,0) is rotated through an angle of 270°, the new image will be as follows;

The formula for rotation through 270° is: (x,y) → (y,-x)

hence our image will be at point:

P(-3,2)→P'(2,3)

R(2,5)→R'(5,-2)

S(0,0)→S'(0,0)

from the above, the approximate image will be option B.


3. Given: Ferris wheel is drawn on a coordinate plane at the point P(30,0). The coordinates of the car after a rotation of [tex]\(270^{\circ}[/tex] is (0,-30).

Because the formula for rotation through 270° is: (x,y) → (y,-x).

So, point P(30,0)→P'(0,-30).

Answers

1. Let [tex]x[/tex] be the number of hours that you worked. We know from our problem that your hourly wage is $8,  so your hourly wage will be given by the linear function: [tex]y=8x[/tex]. 
where
[tex]f(x)[/tex] is your gross pay.
[tex]x[/tex] is the number of hours that you worked. 

To complete the table, we just need to evaluate the function at the given hours; in other words, we are going to replace [tex]x[/tex] with the number of hours in our linear function:
[tex]y=8(0)=0[/tex]
[tex]y=8(3)=24[/tex]
[tex]y=8(5)=40[/tex]
[tex]y=8(7)=56[/tex]
[tex]y=8(10)=80[/tex]

2. Remember that the domain of a function are the set of the x-values of the function; the range of a function are the set of y-values of the function. From our previous point, we can infer that the ordered pairs of the function are: (0,0), (3,24), (5,40), (7,56), (10,80), and (12,96). The y-values and hence the range of the function are: 0, 24, 40, 56, 80, 96. Remember that in the quadrant I both the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates are positive. Since all the coordinates of our points are positive, we can conclude that the correct answer is:

How to calculate the median width?

To estimate the median width of all oak trees in the forest, we can use the sample of ten trees that were selected at random.

First, we need to order the sample from smallest to largest:

12, 26, 28, 35, 43, 47, 52, 59, 63, 71

The median is the middle value in the ordered list. In this case, there are ten numbers in the list, so the median is the average of the fifth and sixth numbers:

median = (43 + 47) / 2 = 45

Therefore, the estimated median width of all oak trees in the forest is 45 centimeters.

The perimeter of a quarter circle is 32.13 what is the quarter circles radius

Answers

Follow below steps:

The problem involves finding the radius of a quarter circle given its perimeter. The perimeter of a full circle is known as its circumference, represented by the formula C = 2πr for a circle of radius r. However, for a quarter circle, only 1/4 of this circumference plus twice the radius (the straight sides of the quarter circle) constitutes the perimeter. Therefore, the perimeter (P) can be expressed as P = (πr)/2 + 2r.

Given that the perimeter is 32.13, we use the formula to set up the equation 32.13 = (πr)/2 + 2r. To solve for r, combine the like terms to get (2 + π/2)r = 32.13 and then isolate r by dividing both sides of the equation by (2 + π/2). Using the approximate value of π = 3.14159, you continue with the arithmetic to find the exact value of the radius.

Remember that precision is important in mathematics. When providing an answer, consider the number of significant figures supplied in the given data and maintain the same level of precision in the final answer.

The radius of the quarter circle is 20.48 units.

To find the radius of a quarter circle given its perimeter, we can start by understanding the formula for the perimeter of a circle.

The perimeter of a full circle is given by [tex]\( P = 2\pi r \)[/tex], where [tex]\( r \)[/tex] is the radius of the circle. Since we are dealing with a quarter circle, the perimeter would be one-fourth of the perimeter of a full circle.

The radius of the quarter circle as [tex]\( R \)[/tex]. Then, the perimeter of the quarter circle is [tex]\( \frac{1}{4} \times 2\pi R = \frac{\pi R}{2} \)[/tex].

The perimeter of the quarter circle is 32.13 units, we can set up the equation:

[tex]\[ \frac{\pi R}{2} = 32.13 \][/tex]

To solve for [tex]\( R \)[/tex], isolate it by multiplying both sides of the equation by [tex]\( \frac{2}{\pi} \)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ R = 2 \times \frac{32.13}{\pi} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ R \approx 20.48 \][/tex]
