John Muir was an American naturalist born in Scotland on April 21, 1838. As one of the first advocates of the United States' wilderness preservation, Muir spent his career writing letters, essays and books about many of his experiences in the Sierra Nevada mountains, located in northern California. Muir's influence on the history of American wilderness continues to live on past his death (in the early twentieth century) as people of all ages visit and hike through the 221 miles of the John Muir Trail, named in Muir's honor. The trail begins in Yosemite National Park and concludes at Mount Whitney, which contains the highest peak of the continental United States.

The following table compares Mount Whitney"s height, in meters, to other monumental peaks of the world.

Mountain Location Height (in meters)
of Highest Peak
Mount Whitney California, United States 4,418.38 meters
Mount Fuji Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, Japan 3,775.86 meters
Mount Everest Great Himalayas of southern Asia 8,849.87 meters
Mount Kilimanjaro Tanzania, Africa 5,894.83 meters
Mount Olympus Mytikas, Greece 2,919.07 meters
Use the data in the table to complete Parts A, B, and C. In your final answers, include your work for all estimates and calculations.

Part A:

Use scientific notation to estimate the following:
How many times greater is Mount Everest's highest peak than Mount Olympus's?

Part B:

Use scientific notation to calculate the following:
How many times greater is Mount Everest's highest peak than Mount Olympus's?

Part C:

Given the calculation in Part B comparing the highest peaks of Mount Everest and Mount Olympus, can you conclude that the estimate in Part A is reasonable? Answer in complete sentences.

T=PV/K

Starting with V=KT/P, multiply P on both sides to get PV=KT

Then divide K on both sides to leave T alone

And you get.....T =PV/K

Answer:

The light blue/greenish one that says T=PV/K or Greeland

Step-by-step explanation:

We can make the equation more simplier by multiplying both sides by P to remove fractions.

It would become VP=KT

The only answer with VP or PV is B, or the T=PV/K

also, to isolate T, divide the VP=KT by K on both sides to isolate T.

Many golfers wear wrist bracelets containing magnets because they claim the magnets improve balance and the length of shots played off the tee. A golfer would like to determine if the claim has merit and proposes two methods for collecting data. Method 1: As golfers approach the first tee, give some golfers wrist bracelets with magnets and some golfers wrist bracelets without magnets. During the round of golf, keep track of the length of the golfers’ shots. Method 2: Contact golfers who have purchased wrist bracelets with magnets and ask them to provide information about their shot length. Which statement about these methods is true? Method 1 is an observational study because it does not attempt to influence responses. Method 2 is an observational study because it does not attempt to influence responses. Method 2 is an observational study because it could include golfers from many golf courses. Both methods are observational studies because they both collect information about shot length.

Answers

Answer:

THE SMALLEST FORMS:

- smallest prism ---> the cube with all sides 2 ==> the volume is 2*2*2 = 8 cm^3

- smallest pyramid number one ---> the pyramid with base sides 2 and the height also 2 ==> the volume is (1/3)*2*2*2 = 8/3 cm^3

- smallest pyramid number two ---> the pyramid with base sides 2 and the lateral sides also 2 ==> the radius of the base is sqrt(2) ==> [pyramid_height]^2 = [lateral_side]^2 - [base_radius]^2 = 2^2 - sqrt(2)^2 = 4 - 2 = 2 ==> pyramid_height = sqrt(2) ==> the volume is (1/3)*2*2*sqrt(2) = 4*sqrt(2)/3 cm^3

- smallest cylinder --> the cylinder of diameter 2 and height also 2 ==> the radius is diameter/2 = 2/2 = 1 ==> the volume is pi*(radius^2)*height = pi*(1^2)*2 = pi*1*2 = 2*pi cm^3

The lesser volume is the volume of the smallest pyramid number two. ==> it's wax cost is approximately 0.0075 * 4 * 1.42 / 3 $ per candle = 0.014 $ per candle ==> the total cost  per candle is approximately 0.014 + 1.6 = 1.614 $ per candle.

THE BIGGEST FORMS:

- biggest prism ---> the cube with all sides 10 ==> the volume is 10*10*10 = 1000 cm^3

- biggest pyramid number one ---> the pyramid with base sides 10 and the height also 10 ==> the volume is (1/3)*10*10*10 = 1000/3 cm^3

- biggest pyramid number two ---> the pyramid with base sides 10 and the lateral sides also 10 ==> the radius of the base is 5*sqrt(2) ==> [pyramid_height]^2 = [lateral_side]^2 - [base_radius]^2 = 10^2 - [5*sqrt(2)]^2 = 100 - 50 = 50 ==> pyramid_height = 5*sqrt(2) ==> the volume is (1/3)*10*10*5*sqrt(2) = 500*sqrt(2)/3 cm^3

- biggest cylinder --> the cylinder of diameter 10 and height also 10 ==> the radius is diameter/2 = 10/2 = 5 ==> the volume is pi*(radius^2)*height = pi*(5^2)*10 = pi*25*10 = 250*pi cm^3

The bigger volume is the volume of the biggest prism (the side-10 cube). ==> it's wax cost is  0.0075 * 1000 $ per candle = 7.5 $ per candle ==> the total cost per candle is 7.5 + 1.6 = 9.1 $ per candle

The range of the cost is the interval [1.614 ; 9.1]. Depending on other prices on the market,  you greed, and other factors you will put a profit margin: maybe 20% of the cost ; maybe a fixed margin like 5$. So the price per candle will be the cost per candle plus the profit margin per candle.

If I were to choose the base length I would have to say 6 because it is the arithmetic mean between 2 and 10: (2+10)/2 = 12/2 = 6. 2cm is too small, and 10cm is too big.

Also if you start with a rectangle of length 10 and width 2 and you have to find the rectangle with the largest area by being allowed to increase the width and decrease the width with the same quantity you get this:

Area of the new rectangle is (10-x)(2+x) = -x^2 + 8x + 20 = -x^2 + 8x -16 + 36 = -(x^2 - 2*x*4 + 4^2) + 36 = -(x-4)^2 + 36 = 36 - (x-4)^2 which has the maximum value of 36 because out of 36 you subtract a positive value. You get the maximum when (x-4)^2 = 0 ==> x-4=0 ==> x=4

The new length is 10-4=6 and the new width is 2+4=6.

Next I would choose the height of the prism (I like prisms :P) to be [the_golden_ratio]*[base_side] which is approximately 1.618 * 6 = 9.708 which I would round up to 10. ==> The volume would be 6*6*10 = 360 cm^3. ==> the cost would be 0.0075*360 + 1.6 = 2.7 + 1.6 = 4.3 $ per candle. And because my candle is so perfect I'd put the profit margin to be 5.69 $ per candle so I can proudly show it in the store with the price of 4.3 + 5.69 = 9.99 $ :)

Which of the following inequalities matches the graph? (1 point)

1. x>-3
2. x<-3
3. y>-3
4. y<-3

Answers

Given:

The graph of an inequality.

To find:

The inequality.

Solution:

From the given graph it is clear that the boundary line is a vertical line parallel to y-axis at the distance of 3 units from the left of y-axis. So, the equation of boundary line is

[tex]x=-3[/tex]

Now, the shaded portion lies on the left of the boundary line. It means the values which are less than 0 are included in the solution set.

The boundary line is a dotted line. So, x=-3 is not included in the solution set.

So, the required inequality is

[tex]x<-3[/tex]  

Therefore, the correct option is B.

A middle school took all of its 6th grade students on a field trip to see a play at a theater that has 3100 seats. The students left 1395 seats vacant. What percentage of the seats in the theater were filled by the 6th graders on the trip?

Answers

Answer: 55% of the seats in the theater were filled by the 6th graders on the trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total seats = 3100

Seats vacant=  1395

Seats occupied by 6th graders = 3100-1395 = 1705

The percentage of the seats in the theater were filled by the 6th graders on the trip = [tex]\dfrac{\text{Seats occupied by 6th graders}}{\text{Total seats}}\times100[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{1705}{3100}\times100\\\\= 55\%[/tex]

Hence, 55% of the seats in the theater were filled by the 6th graders on the trip.

Option (A) is false

Option (B) is false

Option (C) is false

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the graph

Given the vertices of the segment AB

A(-4, 4)B(2, 5)

Finding the length of AB using the formula

[tex]d_{AB}\:=\:\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}[/tex]

        [tex]=\sqrt{\left(2-\left(-4\right)\right)^2+\left(5-4\right)^2}[/tex]

         [tex]=\sqrt{\left(2+4\right)^2+\left(5-4\right)^2}[/tex]

         [tex]=\sqrt{6^2+1}[/tex]

         [tex]=\sqrt{36+1}[/tex]

        [tex]=\sqrt{37}[/tex]

[tex]d_{AB}\:=\sqrt{37}[/tex]

[tex]d_{AB}=6.08[/tex] units        

Given the vertices of the segment JK

J(2, 2)K(7, 2)

From the graph, it is clear that the length of JK = 5 units

so

[tex]d_{JK}=5[/tex] units

Given the vertices of the segment GH

G(-5, -2)H(-2, -2)

Finding the length of GH using the formula

[tex]d_{GH}\:=\:\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}[/tex]

         [tex]=\sqrt{\left(-2-\left(-5\right)\right)^2+\left(-2-\left(-2\right)\right)^2}[/tex]

          [tex]=\sqrt{\left(5-2\right)^2+\left(2-2\right)^2}[/tex]

          [tex]=\sqrt{3^2+0}[/tex]

           [tex]=\sqrt{3^2}[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{Apply\:radical\:rule\:}\sqrt[n]{a^n}=a,\:\quad \mathrm{\:assuming\:}a\ge 0[/tex]

[tex]d_{GH}\:=\:3[/tex] units

Thus, from the calculations, it is clear that:

[tex]d_{AB}=6.08[/tex]  

[tex]d_{JK}=5[/tex]

[tex]d_{GH}\:=\:3[/tex]

Thus,

[tex]d_{AB}\ne d_{JK}[/tex]

[tex]d_{AB}\ne \:d_{GH}[/tex]

[tex]d_{GH}\ne \:d_{JK}[/tex]

Therefore,

Option (A) is false

Option (B) is false

Option (C) is false

Answers

Answer:

A: The Twelve Oaks farm has 14 sheep and 2 acres of land.

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 7 sheep, there has to be one acre of land. In order for you to find how many sheep are needed for each acre, you would multiply the amount of acres and you should get the amount of sheep that farm holds.

A. 2 x 7 = 14 meaning there should be only 14 sheep at a farm that only has 2 acres of land.

B. 3 x 7 = 21 meaning there should be only 21 sheep at a farm that only has acres of land.

C. 6 x 7 = 42 meaning there should be only 42 sheep at a farm that only has 6 acres of land.

D. 2 x 7 = 14 meaning there should be only 14 sheep at a farm that only has 2 acres of land.

A city has a vacant lot in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid and the city workers are installing a fence around the lot. What length of fencing is required? Round the answer to the nearest meter. А 25 m B x 25 m 45° The length of fencing required is meters.​

Answers

Answer:

Length of the fence required = 135 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the fence required to cover the vacant lot = Perimeter of the isosceles trapezoid

Perimeter of ABCD = AB + BC + CD + AD

Since, AB = BC = EF = ED = 25 m

From the given right triangle BEC,

m∠EBC = m∠ECB = 45°

ΔBEC will be an isosceles triangle.

So, BE = EC

By Pythagoras theorem,

BC² = BE² + EC²

25² = 2(EC)²

EC = [tex]\frac{25}{\sqrt{2}} =17.7[/tex] m

And DC = (DF + EF + EC)

             = EC + EF + EC [Since, DF = EC]

             = 2EC + EF

             = 35.4 + 25

             = 60.4 m                            

Hence. perimeter of ABCD = 25 + 25 + 60.4 + 25

                                              = 135.4 m

                                              ≈ 135 m

Therefore, length of the fence required = 132 m
