The diameter of our solar system (depending on how you define “solar system”) is about 8,980,000,000,000 kilometers. The distance from our solar system to the nearest star, Proxima Centauri, is about 39,900,000,000,000,000 kilometers. A light-year is the distance light travels in one year, and it is equal to about 9,460,000,000,000 kilometers. a) Write each of these numbers in scientific notation. Explain how you got your answers, and explain why you know that your method works. b) You’d like to both know the end-to-end distance within the solar system and the distance to Proxima Centauri in light-years. Using your scientific notation numbers, convert these distances. What is the ratio of the solar system’s length to the Proxima Centauri distance? c) Light travels at 300,000 kilometers per second. Write this rate in scientific notation. When Proxima Centauri sends out light at that speed, how long does it take to reach our solar system? Can you convert to minutes, hours, days, or years? Does your answer in years correspond to the distance in light-years from our solar system to Proxima Centauri? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Place a decimal point to the right of the first real number. write the real number with decimal point

Then count the number of places after the decimal point and this with the power of ten.  For example, in diameter of solar system, after keeping decimal after 8, there are 12 places. so power of 10 is 12

a) 8,980,000,000,000 kilo meters. = 8.98 * 10¹² km

39,900,000,000,000,000 kilo meters = 3.99* 10¹⁶ km

9,460,000,000,000 kilo meters = 9.46 * 10¹² km

b)the distance to Proxima Centauri in light-years = 3.99* 10¹⁶  9.46 * 10¹²

 = 0.4218 * 10⁽¹⁶⁻¹²) = 0.4218 * 10⁴

= 4.218 * 10³ light year

c) Speed of light= 3 * 10⁵ km per second

A binomial distribution has p = 0.60 and n = 40. a. What are the mean and standard deviation for this​ distribution? b. What is the probability of exactly 27 ​successes? c. What is the probability of fewer than 30 ​successes? d. What is the probability of more than 20 ​successes?

Answers

Answer:

a) mean = 24, standard deviation = 3.098386

b) the probability of exactly 27 ​successes is 0.08265

c) the probability of fewer than 30 ​successes is 0.96478

d) the probability of more than 20 ​successes is 0.8702

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question,

p = 0.60

n = 40

a) mean and standard deviation;

mean = np = 40 × 0.6

mean = 24

we know that Variance = np( 1 - p )

so standard deviation S.D = √( np( 1 - p ) )

S.D = √( 40 × 0.6( 1 - 0.6 ) )

S.D = √( 24( 0.4) )

S.D = √9.6

S.D = 3.098386

standard deviation = 3.098386

b) the probability of exactly 27 ​successes

P(  x=27 ) = ⁴⁰C₂₇ × ( 0.6 )²⁷ × ( 0.4 )⁽⁴⁰⁻²⁷⁾

= ⁴⁰C₂₇ × ( 0.6 )²⁷ × ( 0.4 )¹³

= [40! / ( 27!( 40 - 27 )! )] × ( 0.6 )²⁷ × ( 0.4 )¹³

= 0.08265

Hence, the probability of exactly 27 ​successes is 0.08265

c)  the probability of fewer than 30 ​successes.

P( x < 30 ) = 1 - P( x ≥ 30 )

= 1 - 0.3522248

= 0.96478

Hence, the probability of fewer than 30 ​successes is 0.96478

d) the probability of more than 20 ​successes.

p( x > 20 ) = 1 - P( x ≤ 20 )

= 1 - 0.1297657

= 0.8702

Hence, the probability of more than 20 ​successes is 0.8702

Point m is located at 4,-2 what is located 2 units for point m

Answers

Answer:

None

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]m = (4,-2)[/tex]

Required

Point 2 units from m

There are 4 possible points 2 units from m and they are:

[tex]m' = (4+2,-2) = (6,-2)[/tex]

[tex]m" = (4,-2+2) = (4,0)[/tex]

[tex]m'''= (4-2,-2) = (2,-2)[/tex]

[tex]m'''' = (4,-2-2) = (4,-4)[/tex]

From the graph, we have:

[tex]A = (4,2)[/tex]

[tex]B = (-4,2)[/tex]

[tex]C = (2,-3)[/tex]

None of the points is 2 units from m

Point m is located at (4,-2), then point C is located approximately 2 units from point m.

A point in a graph is its location denoted using x and y axis.

Given the following information:

Coordinates of point m=(4,-2)

Coordinates of point A=(4,2)

Coordinates of point B=(-4,2)

Coordinates of point C=(2,-3)

Formula used to find distance between two points say (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is

[tex]D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

D1 distance between m and A is

[tex]D_1=\sqrt{(4-4)^2+(2+2)^2}\\D_1=4[/tex]

D2 distance between m and B is

[tex]D_2=\sqrt{(-4-4)^2+(2+2)^2}\\D_2=4\sqrt5[/tex]

D3 distance between m and C is

[tex]D_3=\sqrt{(2-4)^2+(-3+2)^2}\\D_3=\sqrt5\\D_3=2.2\\[/tex]

D3 is approximately equivalent to 2 not exactly 2.

Thus, point C is approximately at 2 units from m.

A ball is thrown straight down from the top of a building at a velocity of 16 ft/s. The building is 480 feet tall, and the acceleration due to gravity is 32 ft/s2.

This problem can be represented using the following equation.

How much time will the ball take to reach the ground? (1/2)32t^2+16t=480

Answers

Answer:

Time, t = 5 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity = 16 ft/s

Height = 480 ft

Acceleration due to gravity = 32 ft/s²

To find how much time it will take the ball to reach the ground, we would use the kinematic equation given by the formula;

[tex] d = V_{i}t + \frac {1}{2}at^{2} [/tex]

Where;

d is the displacement.Vi is the initial velocity.a is the acceleration or acceleration due to gravity.t is the time measured in seconds.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex] 480 = 16t + \frac {1}{2}*32t^{2} [/tex]

[tex] 480 = 16t + 16t^{2} [/tex]

Dividing all through by 16, we have;

[tex] 30 = t + t^{2} [/tex]

Re-arranging the quadratic equation, we have;

[tex] t^{2} + t - 30 = 0 [/tex]

We would solve the quadratic equation by factorization;

[tex] t^{2} + 6t - 5t - 30 = 0 [/tex]

[tex] t(t + 6) - 5(t + 6) = 0[/tex]

[tex] (t + 6)(t - 5) = 0 [/tex]

t = -6 or 5

Since we know time can't be negative, we would ignore the value of -6.

Therefore, time = 5 seconds

Factorizie completely 2ap+aq-bq-2bp​

Answers

Answer:

2ap + aq - bq -2bp = (a - b)(2p + q)

Step-by-step explanation:

(2ap + aq) - (bq -2bp)

a(2p +q) -b(q + 2p)    [ taking a common from the first, and b from the second]

(2p + q) [a - b]           [takin (2p + q)]

(2p + q)(a - b)

The completely factored form of the expression 2ap + aq - bq - 2bp is

(a - b)(2p + q).

In order to completely factorize the given expression, we need to look for common factors and apply factorization techniques.

Given expression: 2ap + aq - bq - 2bp

Step 1: Look for common factors.

Notice that 'a' is common in the first two terms, and '-b' is common in the last two terms.

Step 2: Factor out the common terms.

We can factor 'a' from the first two terms: a(2p + q)

And factor '-b' from the last two terms: -b(q + 2p)

Step 3: Rearrange the expression.

Now we have: a(2p + q) - b(q + 2p)

Step 4: Factor by grouping.

We can see that (2p + q) is common in both terms, so we can factor it out: (2p + q)(a - b)

Step 5: Final result.

Thus, the completely factored form of the given expression is

(a - b)(2p + q).

Find an equivalent equation to -3x-5=16 by adding five to each side. *
-3x = 21
-3x = 11
-3x = 16
-3x - 10 = 21
-3x - 10 = 11
-3x - 10 = 16
-3x + 10 = 21
-3x + 10 = 11
-3x + 10 = 16

Answers

-3x = 21
Explanation: on the -3x-5 side, add 5 to -5. That cancels it out so you are left with -3x. On the 16 side, add 5. 16+5 is 21. Therefore, -3x = 21 is equivalent to -3x-5 = 16.

Also:
If you are also supposed to solve the equation the answer is x = -7.

Answer:

- 3x = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

- 3x - 5 = 16

- 3x - 5 + 5 = 16 + 5

- 3x = 21

- 3x ÷ - 3 = 21 ÷ - 3

x = - 7

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x = \frac{205}{3}[/tex]

[tex]y =\frac{195}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]p = 410[/tex] --- perimeter

See attachment for fence

Required

x and y

The perimeter of the fence is:

[tex]p = 2(x + y +5 + y) +x[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]p = 2x + 2y +10 + 2y +x[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]p = 2x+x + 2y + 2y+10[/tex]

[tex]p = 3x + 4y+10[/tex]

Substitute: [tex]p = 410[/tex]

[tex]3x + 4y+10 =410[/tex]

Make 4y the subject

[tex]4y =410-10-3x[/tex]

[tex]4y =400-3x[/tex]

Make y the subject

[tex]y =\frac{400-3x}{4}[/tex]

The area (A) of the fence is:

[tex]A = (y + y + 5) * x[/tex]

[tex]A = (2y + 5) * x[/tex]

Substitute: [tex]y =\frac{400-3x}{4}[/tex]

[tex]A = (2*\frac{400-3x}{4} + 5) * x[/tex]

[tex]A = (\frac{400-3x}{2} + 5) * x[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]A = (\frac{400-3x+10}{2}) * x[/tex]

Solve like terms

[tex]A = (\frac{410-3x}{2}) * x[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]A = \frac{410x-3x^2}{2}[/tex]

Remove fraction

[tex]A = 205x-1.5x^2[/tex]

Differentiate both sides

[tex]A' = 205 - 3x[/tex]

To maximize; set [tex]A' =0[/tex]

[tex]205 - 3x =0[/tex]

Solve for 3x

[tex]3x = 205[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]x = \frac{205}{3}[/tex]

Recall that: [tex]y =\frac{400-3x}{4}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]y =\frac{400-3*205/3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]y =\frac{400-205}{4}[/tex]

[tex]y =\frac{195}{4}[/tex]
