Sammy's Chipmunk & Squirrel Observations
For a science project, Sammy observed a chipmunk and a squirrel stashing
acorns in holes. The chipmunk hid 3 acorns in each of the holes it dug. The
squirrel hid 4 acorns in each of the holes it dug. They each hid the same number
of acorns, although the squirrel needed 4 fewer holes. How many acorns did the
chipmunk hide?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:12 accorns

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

If they each hid the same number of acorns, although the squirrel needed 4 fewer holes, the chipmunk hid 3 acorns in each hole

Let's assume the number of holes the chipmunk dug is 'c', and the number of acorns it hid in each hole is 'x'. Similarly, let's assume the number of holes the squirrel dug is 's', and the number of acorns it hid in each hole is 'y'.

According to the information provided, the chipmunk hid 3 acorns in each of the holes it dug, so x = 3. The squirrel hid 4 acorns in each of the holes it dug, so y = 4.

Both the chipmunk and squirrel hid the same number of acorns, so cx = sy.

Also, the squirrel needed 4 fewer holes, so s = c - 4.

Now, we can use the information to set up a system of equations:

cx = sy

c - 4 = s

Substitute the value of s from the second equation into the first equation:

c(c - 4) = 3(c - 4)

Expand the equation:

c² - 4c = 3c - 12

Now, bring all terms to one side of the equation:

c² - 4c - 3c + 12 = 0

Combine like terms:

c² - 7c + 12 = 0

Now, factor the quadratic equation:

(c - 3)(c - 4) = 0

Now, set each factor to zero and solve for 'c':

c - 3 = 0 => c = 3

c - 4 = 0 => c = 4

Since the chipmunk hid 3 acorns in each hole, the correct answer is The chipmunk hid 3 acorns.

Write a few sentences to end Sarah’s story. How many shark teeth did she find? How many shark teeth did John find? How much money did they earn?

Answers

Answer: Sarah found 10 shark teeth(3 + 7 = 10).

John found 5 shark teeth(10/2 = 5).

The total money they earned was $5 x 15 = $75.

Explanation;

Given that:

$5 per shark tooth15 total collected shark teeth

5 x 15 = 75, therefore the total money Sarah and John earned was $75.

The few sentences to end Sarah's story are: Sarah found 10 shark teeth for $50. John found 5 shark teeth for $25. They got $75 from their neighbor in total.

Answer:

Sarah’s neighbor offers to pay her $5 for every shark tooth she finds on the beach. After collecting only three shark’s teeth, Sarah decides to share the opportunity with her friend John. Sarah can find shark teeth twice as fast as John, but she can earn even more money with his help.

Sarah can use the expression 5(2j + 3 + j) to represent the amount of money they can earn.

Part 1: Writing Expressions

Q1. Write an expression that looks like Sarah’s expression: 5(2j + 3 + j). Replace the coefficients so that your expression is not equivalent. You may use any number that you choose to replace the coefficients. Be sure to leave the variables the same. For example, 8(3j + 7 + 3j) looks like Sarah’s expression but is not equivalent.

Express (8 - 3sqrt(2))/(4 + 3sqrt(2)) in the form of a + b * sqrt(2) where a and b are integers.​

Answers

Answer:   [tex]\boldsymbol{-25+18\sqrt{2}}[/tex]

The expression is in the form [tex]a+b\sqrt{2}[/tex] where a = -25 and b = 18

==========================================================

Work Shown:

Let [tex]x = 3\sqrt{2}[/tex] and then square both sides

[tex]x = 3\sqrt{2}\\\\x^2 = \left(3\sqrt{2}\right)^2\\\\x^2 = \left(3\right)^2*\left(\sqrt{2}\right)^2\\\\x^2 = 9*2\\\\x^2 = 18\\\\[/tex]

We'll use both x and x^2 later on.

---------------------

The denominator is in the form 4+x. We'll multiply top and bottom by 4-x to then use the difference of squares rule. This will allow us to eliminate the square root in the denominator.

[tex]\frac{8-3\sqrt{2}}{4+3\sqrt{2}}\\\\\frac{8-x}{4+x}\\\\\frac{(8-x)(4-x)}{(4+x)(4-x)}\\\\\frac{32-8x-4x+x^2}{16-x^2} \ \text{ difference of squares rule}\\\\\frac{32-12x+x^2}{16-x^2}\\\\[/tex]

[tex]\frac{32-12*3\sqrt{2}+18}{16-18} \ \text{ plug in } x = 3\sqrt{2} \text{ and } x^2 = 18\\\\\frac{50-36\sqrt{2}}{-2}\\\\\frac{-2(-25+18\sqrt{2})}{-2}\\\\\boldsymbol{-25+18\sqrt{2}}[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]\frac{8-3\sqrt{2}}{4+3\sqrt{2}}=\boldsymbol{-25+18\sqrt{2}}[/tex]

-------------------------------------

Checking the answer:

Use a calculator to find that,

[tex]\frac{8-3\sqrt{2}}{4+3\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.45584412271571 \\\\-25+18\sqrt{2} \approx 0.45584412271571[/tex]

We get the same decimal approximation, which helps confirm the correct answer.

Or you could use the idea that if M = N, then M-N = 0 to subtract the original expression M and the final result N. You should get 0 or very close to it.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]32\sqrt3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We need first to find the measure of the red horizontal line, call it x. The triangle i filled is a right triangle, so we can apply pythagoras theorem,

[tex]8^2 = x^2+(4\sqrt3)^2 \rightarrow 64=x^2+(16\times3) \\x^2=64-48 \rightarrow x^2=16 \rightarrow x=4[/tex]

(we are talking lengths of segment so we take only the positive root!)

At this point we can find the length of the smaller base of the trapezoid (which is [tex]10-4=6[/tex]) and apply the formula, or split the figure in a rectangle of sides 6 and [tex]4\sqrt3[/tex] and a triangle of sides [tex]4\sqrt3[/tex] and 4.

With the trapezoid formula

[tex]A=\frac12(B+b)h = \frac12(10+6)4\sqrt3 = 32\sqrt3[/tex]

With the sum of figures:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Determine what absolute value does

Taking the absolute value of a number just returns how far a specific value is from 0.  So in this case we see a number -9 and although it's negative it's still 9 away from 0 therefore that would be the absolute value.

We are missing the absolute value of -5 or 5 so we know that taking the absolute value would just give us the distance from 0.  In this case that would just be 5.

9. The length of a rectangle is 3 cm longer than twice the width. If the area of the rectangle is 65 cm2,
find its length and the width.

Answers

Answer:

  length: 13 cm

  width: 5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

You may be aware that 65 = 5×13. We note that 13 is 3 more than twice 5, so these are the dimensions of the rectangle:

  5 cm wide; 13 cm long

__

If you want so solve this algebraically, you can let w represent the width. Then the length is 2w+3 and the area is ...

  A = LW

  65 = (2w+3)(w)

In standard form, this equation is ...

  2w^2 +3w -65 = 0

To factor this, you look for factors of 2×(-65) = -130 that have a sum of 3. Those would be ...

  -130 = (-10)(13)

Then the factored equation is ...

  2w^2 +13w -10w -65 = 0

  w(2w+13) -5(2w+13) = 0

  (w -5)(2w +13) = 0   ⇒   w = 5, -13/2

The positive solution makes sense in this problem, so ...

  width = 5 cm

  length = 2(5) +3 = 13 cm

For each point, multiply each x,y coordinate by 0.25 (the scale factor) to dilate the preimage to the image. This will shrink the image because the positive scale factor is less than 1.

So for instance, point J(3,2) will have this scratch work

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by:

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes e = 2.71828 is the Euler number [tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean in the given interval.

Item a:

In this problem, we are given the mean during an interval, which is a common event(1.4 every 8 hours), and intervals can be assumed to be independent, hence, the correct option is:

Frequency of shoplifting is a common occurrence. It is reasonable to assume the events are independent.

Item b:

Mean of 1.4 every 8 hours, hence, every 11 hours, the mean is:

[tex]\mu = 11 \times \frac{1.4}{8} = 1.925[/tex]

The probability is:

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]

In which:

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-1.925}(1.925)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.1459[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.1459 = 0.8541[/tex]

0.8541 = 85.41% probability that from 10 A.M. to 9 P.M. there will be at least one shoplifting incident caught by security.

Item c:

The probability is:

[tex]P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3)[/tex]

In which:

[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)[/tex]

Then:

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-1.925}(1.925)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.1459[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-1.925}(1.925)^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.2808[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-1.925}(1.925)^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2703[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.1459 + 0.2808 + 0.2703 = 0.697[/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3) = 1 - 0.697 = 0.303[/tex]

0.303 = 30.3% probability that from 10 A.M. to 9 P.M. there will be at least three shoplifting incidents caught by security.

Item d:

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-1.925}(1.925)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.1459[/tex]
