A brick staircase has a total of 17 steps The bottom step requires 131 bricks. Each successive step requires 5 less bricks than the prior one. How many bricks are required to build the staircase?
Answer: 1547 bricks are required to build the staircase.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given:
Number of bricks in the first step, [tex]a_1[/tex] = 131
Number of bricks in the second step, [tex]a_2[/tex] = 131 - 5 = 126
Number of bricks in the third step, [tex]a_3[/tex] = 126 - 5 = 121
Sequence become:
131, 126, 121, .....
These are in arithmetic progression where a = 131 and d (common difference) = -5
To calculate the sum of an AP, we use the formula:
[tex]S_n=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d][/tex]
where,
n = number of terms = 17
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]S_n=\frac{17}{2}[2(131)+(17-1)(-5)]\\\\S_n=\frac{17\times 182}{2}=1547[/tex]
Hence, 1547 bricks are required to build the staircase.
A book store had 30816 exercise books which were paclced in cartons each carton contained 24 exercise books the mass of an empty carton was 2kg and a full carton 12kg
30,816 books would go into 1,284 containers which would weigh 15,408kg with all the books in them or 2,568kg with the books not in them.
why do you think that increasing the number of people in a sample creates a normal curve?
Answer:
Increasing the number of people allows more variety and diversity, which makes the sample more accurate.
Write the following as an algebraic expression. Then simplify.
The total amount of money (in cents) in x nickles, (x+3) quarters, and 3x dimes. (Hint: The value of a nickel is 5 cents, the value of a quarter is 25 cents, and the value of a dime is 10 cents.)
The total amount of money is ___ cents.
(Simplify your answer. Do not factor.)
Answer:
[tex]60x+75[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the total amount of money (in cents) of the expression:
[tex]\text{$x$ nickels, $(x+3)$ quarters, and $3x$ dimes}[/tex]
Since each nickel is worth five cents, each quarter 25 cents, and each dime ten cents, we can write that:
[tex]\displaystyle \text{Total}=5(x)+25(x+3)+10(3x)[/tex]
Simplify. Distribute:
[tex]T=5x+25x+75+30x[/tex]
Combine like terms. Therefore, the total amount of money (in cents) is represented by:
[tex]T=60x+75[/tex]

PLEASE HELP WKLL MARK IF YOU HELP ME !!!
Answer :
Let in Triangle abc,
a=90,
b = (we have to find)
c = (we have to find)
c + 144=180 (linear pair)
c = 180 - 144
c = 36
a + b + c = 180 (Angle sum property)
90 + b + 36 = 180
126 + b = 180

Answer:
Paige is incorrect. g(x) has a steeper slope
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope for f(x) is
m =( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (17/2 - 5/2) / ( -1 - -6)
= (17/2 - 5/2) / ( -1 +6)
= (12/2)/5
= 6/5
The slope for g(x) is
m =( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (-1 - 13/3) / ( 6 - 2)
=(-3/3 -13/3) / (6-2)
(-16/3)/4
-16/3 * 1/4
- 4/3
Comparing the magnitudes
|6/5| |-4/3|
|6/5*3/3| |-4/3*5/5|
|18/15| |20/15|
|20/15| is greater so it has a steeper slope
g(x) has a steeper slope

santino is renting a canoe from a local shop that charges a $10 fee, plus an hourly rate of $7.50. For how long can santino rent a canoe if he pays a total of $70
Answer:
Santino rented the canoe for 8 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total bill is represented by the formula r(h) = $10 + ($7.50/hour)h,
where h is the number of hours over which the canoe is rented.
If the total bill is $70, then $70 = $10 + ($7.50/hour)h.
Solve this for h. Start by subtracting $10 from both sides, obtaining:
$60 = ($7.50/hour)h.
Dividing both sides by ($7.50/hour), we get:
$60
h = --------------------- = 8 hours
($7.50/hour)
Santino rented the canoe for 8 hours.

The equation of the line passing through (2, 3) with a slope of 5 is y = [] x - []
what are the answers to []
Answer:
y = 5x - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Here m = 5, then
y = 5x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (2, 3) into the partial equation
3 = 10 + c ⇒ c = 3 - 10 = - 7
y = 5x - 7 ← equation of line

What is the total distance, in km, he travelled by plane?
Answer:
10145
Step-by-step explanation:
5 times 950 equals 4750
and 6.5 times 830 equals 5395
add first and second value
4750 + 5395 equals 10145
there is no arguing
Answer:
10145 km
Step-by-step explanation:
Time x speed = Distance
5 x 950 = 4750
6.5 x 830 = 5395
add together = 10145
the lengths of two sides of a right triangle are 12 inches and 15 inches.What is the difference between the two possible lengths of the third side of the triangle
Answer:10.2 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
In this problem we have two cases
First case
The given lengths are two legs of the right triangle
so
Applying the Pythagoras Theorem
Find the length of the hypotenuse
substitute
Second case
The given lengths are one leg and the hypotenuse
so
Applying the Pythagoras Theorem
Find the length of the other leg
substitute
Find the difference between the two possible lengths of the third side of the triangle
so
Answer:
The difference between the two possible lengths for the third side of the triangle is about 10.21 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the lengths of two sides of a right triangle is 12 inches and 15 inches.
And we want to find the difference between the two possible lengths of the third side.
In the first case, assume that neither 12 nor 15 is the hypotenuse of the triangle. Then our third side c must follow the Pythagorean Theorem:
[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]
Substitute in known values:
[tex](12)^2+(15)^2=c^2[/tex]
Solve for c:
[tex]c=\sqrt{12^2+15^2}=\sqrt{369}=\sqrt{9\cdot 41}=3\sqrt{41}[/tex]
In the second case, we will assume that one of the given lengths is the hypotenuse. Since the hypotenuse is always the longest side, the hypotenuse will be 15. Again, by the Pythagorean Theorem:
[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]
Substitute in known values:
[tex](12)^2+b^2=(15)^2[/tex]
Solve for b:
[tex]b=\sqrt{15^2-12^2}=\sqrt{81}=9[/tex]
Therefore, the difference between the two possible lengths for the third side is:
[tex]\displaystyle \text{Difference}=(3\sqrt{41})-(9)\approx 10.21\text{ inches}[/tex]
The length of a rectangle is four times its width.
If the area of the rectangle is 100 yd”, find its perimeter.
Answer: 50yd
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the area of any rectangle is length times width. The perimeter is the sum of twice the length and twice the width.
Let width = x
Let length = 4x
Area = 100m2
Next, we can write an equation using these variables and formula for area.
4x2 = 100
x2 = 25
x = -5 and x = 5
Since the dimensions cannot be negative, we accept the positive value:
x = 5
Next, we can substitute this value of x into the variables.
width = 5 m
length = 20 m
Finally, we can find the perimeter by plugging in these dimensions into the perimeter formula,
Perimeter = 2(5 m) + 2(20 m)
= 10 m + 40 m
= 50 m

A college admissions officer takes a simple random sample of 90 entering freshman and computes their mean mathematics sat score to be 436. assume the population standard deviation is σ = 101. Based on a 99% confidence interval for the mean mathematics SAT score, is it likely that the mean mathematics SAT score for entering freshmen class is greater than 460?
Answer:
460 is part of the confidence interval, which means that we cannot say that there is significant evidence that the mean mathematics SAT score for entering freshmen class is greater than 460
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.005[/tex]
Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].
That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.005 = 0.995[/tex], so Z = 2.575.
Now, find the margin of error M as such
[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.
[tex]M = 2.575\frac{101}{\sqrt{90}} = 27.4[/tex]
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 436 - 27.4 = 408.6.
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 436 + 27.4 = 463.4.
460 is part of the confidence interval, which means that we cannot say that there is significant evidence that the mean mathematics SAT score for entering freshmen class is greater than 460
x^3y+2x^2y^2+xy^3 and 2x^3+4x^2y+2xy^2 Find the HCF.
Answer:
[tex]x(x+y)^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
[tex]x^3y+2x^2y^2+xy^3[/tex] and [tex]2x^3+4x^2y+2xy^2[/tex]
We have to find HCF.
[tex]x^3y+2x^2y^2+xy^3=xy(x^2+2xy+y^2)[/tex]
=[tex]xy(x+y)^2[/tex]
By using the formula
[tex](x+y)^2=x^2+2xy+y^2[/tex]
[tex]xy(x+y)^2=x\times y\times (x+y)^2[/tex]
[tex]2x^3+4x^2y+2xy^2=2x(x^2+2xy+y^2)[/tex]
[tex]=2x(x+y)^2[/tex]
[tex]2x(x+y)^2=2\times x\times (x+y)^2[/tex]
HCF of ([tex]x^3y+2x^2y^2+xy^3,2x^3+4x^2y+2xy^2[/tex])
[tex]=x(x+y)^2[/tex]

The area of a triangular sign is 6x² + 24x What is the measure of the base? (View attachment)
Answer:
[tex]2x + 8[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of triangle equal
[tex] \frac{b \times h}{2} = a[/tex]
where b is the base and h is the height.
Plug in what we know.
[tex] \frac{b \times 6x}{2} = 6 {x}^{2} + 24x[/tex]
Multiply 2 by both sides.
[tex]b \times 6x = 2(6 {x}^{2} + 24x)[/tex]
Divide 6x by both sides.
[tex]b = \frac{12 {x}^{2} + 48x }{6x} = 2x + 8[/tex]

context to question - At a carnaval , you pay $15 for admission plus $3 for each ride that you go on .
Answer:
[tex]f^{-1}(x) =\frac{x}{3} - 5[/tex]
The inverse function is to calculate the number of rides; given the amount paid
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Admission = 15[/tex]
[tex]Ride = 3[/tex] per ride
Required
Explain the inverse function
First, we calculate the function
Let x represents the number of rides
So:
[tex]f(x) = Admission + Ride * x[/tex]
[tex]f(x) = 15 + 3 * x[/tex]
[tex]f(x) = 15 + 3x[/tex]
For the inverse function, we have:
[tex]y = 15 + 3x[/tex]
Swap x and y
[tex]x = 15 + 3y[/tex]
Make 3y the subject
[tex]3y = x - 15[/tex]
Make y the subject
[tex]y =\frac{x}{3} - 5[/tex]
Replace y with the inverse function
[tex]f^{-1}(x) =\frac{x}{3} - 5[/tex]
The above is to calculate the number of rides; given the amount paid
DJ Jacqueline is making a playlist for work; she is trying to decide what 9 songs to play and in what order they should be played. If she has her choices narrowed down to 6 jazz, 19 reggae, and 7 blues songs, and she wants to play an equal number of jazz, reggae, and blues songs, how many different playlists are possible
Solve the system x-2y+2z=9 y+2z=5 z=3
Enter the answer as an ordered triple, (X,Y,Z)
The last equation says z = 3, so that in the second equation we get
y + 2z = y + 6 = 5 ==> y = -1
and in turn, the first equation tells us
x - 2y + 2z = x + 2 + 6 = x + 8 = 9 ==> x = 1
So the solution to the system is (x, y, z) = (1, -1, 3).
