Determine Whether The Following Fractions Terminate In Their Decimal Form. Show All Work And Explain

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

8/22: this fraction will NOT terminate

189/270: this fraction WILL terminate

Step-by-step explanation:

I saw in the question that it says to solve the question by demonstrating the method discussed in class. I don't know what's the method you were taught, but I'll explain how I solved it.

When a fraction is in its simplest form, write out the prime factors of the denominator. If the denominator has 2s and/or 5s, the fraction WILL terminate in their decimal form.

8/22 in its simplest form is 4/11:

The only prime factors of the denominator, 11, are 1 and 11. There are no 2s and/or 5s present, so this fraction will NOT terminate.

189/270 in its simplest form is 7/10.

The prime factors of 10 are 2 and 5, meaning that this fraction WILL terminate.

Hope it helps (●'◡'●)

Naval intelligence reports that 4 enemy vessels in a fleet of 17 are carrying nuclear weapons. If 9 vessels are randomly targeted and destroyed, what is the probability that more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed

Answers

Answer:

0.7588 = 75.88% probability that more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed

Step-by-step explanation:

The vessels are destroyed without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

In this question:

Fleet of 17 means that [tex]N = 17[/tex]

4 are carrying nucleas weapons, which means that [tex]k = 4[/tex]

9 are destroyed, which means that [tex]n = 9[/tex]

What is the probability that more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed?

This is:

[tex]P(X > 1) = 1 - P(X \leq 1)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = h(0,17,9,4) = \frac{C_{4,0}*C_{13,9}}{C_{17,9}} = 0.0294[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = h(1,17,9,4) = \frac{C_{4,1}*C_{13,8}}{C_{17,9}} = 0.2118[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.0294 + 0.2118 = 0.2412[/tex]

[tex]P(X > 1) = 1 - P(X \leq 1) = 1 - 0.2412 = 0.7588[/tex]

0.7588 = 75.88% probability that more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed

Unit 1 Assignment- Who's Right?​

Answers

Answer:

Part 1)

1) Sylvia' process was incorrect. In her last step, when she multiplied 0.88 by 10, she also need to divide exponent by 10.

2) Dylan is perfectly correct.

3) Ethan's process was also incorrect. Instead of subtracting the exponents, he added them.

Part 2)

Only Skyler's approach was incorrect. When Skyler acquired (3⁶)ˣ = 9, he made the error of setting the exponent on the left to the value on the right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

We want to simplify the expression:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{3.61\times 10^{-11}}{4.1\times 10^7}[/tex]

We can divide. Recall that xᵃ / xᵇ = xᵃ ⁻ ᵇ. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle =0.88\times 10^{-11-7}=0.88\times 10^{-18}[/tex]

In scientific notation, the coefficient is always between 1 or 10.

So, we can multiply 0.88 by 10. To keep the equality, we need to divide 10⁻¹⁸ by 10. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle =0.88(10)\times \frac{10^{-18}}{10}[/tex]

(You can see that the 10s can cancel out, giving us our original expression.)

Simplify. Thus:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{3.61\times 10^{-11}}{4.1\times 10^7} = 8.8\times 10^{-19}[/tex]

Therefore, as we can see:

1) Sylvia' process was incorrect. In her last step, when she multiplied 0.88 by 10, she also need to divide exponent by 10.

2) Dylan is perfectly correct.

3) Ethan's process was also incorrect. Instead of subtracting the exponents, he added them.

Part 2)

Reviewing their work, we can see that only Skyler's approach was incorrect.

729 is indeed 3⁶. However, when Skyler acquired (3⁶)ˣ = 9, he made the error of setting the exponent on the left to the value on the right.

Both Robert and Kevin are correct, having set each exponent equal to each other after their bases are equivalent and solving for x.

You are installing new carpeting in a family room. The room is rectangular with dimensions 2012feet × 1318feet . You intend to install baseboards around the entire perimeter of the room except for a 312 -foot opening into the kitchen. How many linear feet of board must you purchase?

Answers

Answer: 1. When you estimate, it is not an exact measurement. 3ft 8 in gets rounded to 4ft and 12 ft 3 in rounds to 12ft. now find the perimeter. P=2l+2w P= 2*12 +2*4 P=32feet

2. 3ft 8in = 3 8/12 or reduced to 3 2/3  12ft 3in = 12 3/12 or reduced to 12 1/4   The fractional part is referring to a fraction of a foot.

3. The perimeter of the room is P=2l+2w or P=2(12 1/4) + 2(3 2/3) p=24 1/2 + 7 1/3  P= 31 5/6 feet

4. The estimate and the actual are very close. They are 1/6 of a foot apart.

5a. Total baseboard 31 5/6ft - 2 1/4 ft = 29 7/12 feet needed.

5b. Take the total and divide it by 8ft  = 29 7/12 divided by 8= 3.7  You are not buying a fraction of a board so you would need 4 boards.

The length of a rectangle is 6 inches more than the width. The perimeter is 28 inches. Find the length and the width (in inches).

Answers

Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 10 inches, and the width is 4 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the length of a rectangle is 6 inches more than the width, and the perimeter is 28 inches, the following calculation must be performed to find the length and the width:

(X + X + 6) x 2 = 28

2X + 2X + 12 = 28

4X = 28 - 12

X = 16/4

X = 4

Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 10 inches, and the width is 4 inches.

Solve the quadratic equation 12x^2 - 288 = 0 using the square root method.

Answers

Answer:

C) x = ± 4

Step-by-step explanation:

12x² - 288 = 0

Add 288 on both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

12x ² = 288

Divide both side by 12

[tex] \small \sf \: x {}^{2} = \frac{288}{12} \\ [/tex]

Divide 288 by 12 to get 24

[tex]\small \sf x {}^{2} = \frac{ \cancel{288 }}{ \cancel{12}} \\ [/tex]

x² = 24

Taking square root of each side and remember to use positive and negative roots

[tex] \small \sf \: \sqrt{x {}^{2} } = ± \sqrt{ 24} [/tex]

[tex] \small \sf \: x_1, _2 = ± \sqrt{ 24} [/tex]

[tex] \small \sf \: x_1, _2 = ± 4.899 [/tex]

You can afford a $950 per month mortgage payment. You've found a 30 year loan at 8% interest. a) How big of a loan can you afford? b) How much total money will you pay the loan company? c) How much of that money is interest?

Answers

Answer:

129469.3194

342000

212530.6806

Step-by-step explanation:

Going to assume that the 8% is a nominal, montly rate

which means the effective monthly rate is .08/12= .006667

using the annuity immediate formula...

a.)

[tex]950(\frac{1-(1+.006667)^{-30*12}}{.006667})=129469.3194[/tex]

b.) we would pay 950*30*12= 342000

c.) the amount in interest would be 342000-129469.3194=212530.6806

a) The loan one can afford is $1,29,460.2

b) The total amount of money paid to the loan company over the life of the loan is $342,000.

c)  $212539.8 of the total amount paid is interest.

To determine the answers to these questions, we'll need to use the formula for calculating a fixed monthly mortgage payment:

[tex]M = \frac{P \times r \times (1 + r)^n}{((1 + r)^n - 1)}[/tex]

where:

M is the monthly payment,

P is the principal loan amount,

r is the monthly interest rate (annual interest rate divided by 12),

and n is the total number of payments (number of years multiplied by 12).

Given:

Monthly payment (M) = $950

Loan term = 30 years

Interest rate = 8% per year

a) How big of a loan can you afford?

Let's calculate the principal loan amount (P):

First, we need to convert the annual interest rate to a monthly interest rate:

r = 0.08 / 12

= 0.00667

n = 30 years × 12 months

n= 360

Using the formula and plugging in the values we have:

[tex]950 = \frac{P \times 0.00667 \times (1 + 0.00667)^{360}}{((1 + 0.00667)^{360} - 1)}[/tex]

[tex]950 = \frac{P \times 0.00667 \times 10.948}{10.948 - 1}[/tex]

[tex]950=\frac{P \times 0.07302316}{9.948}[/tex]

[tex]950\times9.948 = 0.0730P[/tex]

Divide by 0.073:

Now we can solve for P:

[tex]P=\frac{9450.6}{0.0730}[/tex]

[tex]P = 1,29,460.2[/tex]

Therefore, you can afford a loan amount of $1,29,460.2

b) The total amount paid to the loan company can be calculated by multiplying the monthly payment by the total number of payments:

Total amount = Monthly payment × Total number of payments

Total amount =[tex]$950 \times 360[/tex]

Total amount = [tex]342,000[/tex]

Therefore, the total amount of money paid to the loan company over the life of the loan is $342,000.

c) To find out how much of the total amount paid is interest, we can subtract the principal loan amount from the total amount:

Interest = Total amount - Principal loan amount

Interest = [tex]342,000 - 129460.2[/tex]

=$212539.8

Therefore, $212539.8 of the total amount paid is interest.

Find the minimum score required for an A grade. Round your answer to the nearest whole number, if necessary.

Answers

Answer:

The minimum score required for an A grade is 80.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

Given That, A philosophy professor assigns letter grades on a test according to the following scheme.

A: Top 12% of scores

B: Scores below the top 12% and above the bottom 57%

C: Scores below the top 43% and above the bottom 19%

D: Scores below the top 81% and above the bottom 5%

F: Bottom 5% of scores Scores on the test

And The normally distributed with a mean of 66.5 and a standard deviation of 9.9.

Now,

In a set with mean  and standard deviation, the Z score of a measure X is given by Z = (X-μ)/σ

we have μ=66.5 , σ=9.9  

Find the minimum score required for an A grade.  

Top 12%, so at least the 100-12 = 88th percentile, which is the value of X when Z has a p-value of 0.88. So it is X when Z = 1.175.

⇒ Z = (X-μ)/σ

⇒ 1.175×9.9 = X-66.5

⇒ X=78.132

Rounding to the nearest whole number, the answer is 80.

The minimum score required for an A grade is 80.
