The first laptop ever was sold was the Osborne 1. It came onto the market in 1981, and

it had a mass of 11 kg. Suppose that since 1981 the mass of laptops has decreased at an

average rate of 4. 7% per year. What was the approximate weight of a laptop in 2019?

Answers

Answer 1

The Osborne 1 was the first laptop ever released, and it weighed 11 kg in 1981. Since then, the average rate of weight decrease has been 4.7% per year. This means that in 2019, a laptop would have weighed around 2.3 kg.

1981: 11 kg

1982: 10.5 kg (11 kg - 0.55 kg = 10.5 kg)

1983: 10.02 kg (10.5 kg - 0.48 kg = 10.02 kg)

1984: 9.55 kg (10.02 kg - 0.47 kg = 9.55 kg)

2019: 2.3 kg (3.44 kg - 1.14 kg = 2.3 kg)

The Osborne 1 was the first laptop ever released in 1981, and it weighed 11 kg. Since then, the average rate of weight decrease has been 4.7% per year. This means that the mass of a laptop decreases by 0.47 kg every year on average. So, in 1982 it would have weighed 10.5 kg, in 1983 it would have weighed 10.02 kg, and so on. By 2019, the weight of a laptop would have decreased to 2.3 kg as a result of this 4.7% average rate of weight decrease.

i'm stuck on this question! solve for x. assume that lines which appear tangent, are tangent.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for intersecting chords creating which create the limits of arcs and associated angles is

<HES = 1/2 (ARC HS + ARC GF)

<HES = 1/2 (ARC 51 + ARC 195)

<HES = 1/2 (246)

<HES = 123

What that tells you is that <GEF =  the same thing because <HES and <GEF are vertically opposite.

Now I am going to assume that <HES = 16x + 11. This is not a sure thing, but I assume it is what is intended.

16x + 11 = 123           Subtract 11 from both sides

16x = 123 - 11

16x = 112                  Divide by 16

x = 112/16

Proportionately, the quantity of milligrams of vitamin c in 1 orange is 33.75 mg.

What is proportion?

Proportion refers to the part of a whole contained in another value.

Proportion is a ratio representation, which is fractional in value.'

We depict proportions using decimals, fractions, or percentages.

The daily recommended allowance of vitamin c for a sixth grader = 45 mg

The content of 1 orange to the daily recommended allowance = 75%

75% of 45 mg = 33.75 mg.

Eden is working on an experiment for her science fair project. She is planting a total of 10 herbs for an herb garden. She is going to plant basil and mint. The basil plants cost $.50 per plant and the mint plants cost $.25 per plant. Eden has a total of $3 to spend on plants because she also has to purchase potting soil and a long planter pot. Write a system of equations and solve either using elimination or substitution.

Answers

A system of equations for this problem can be written as:

x + y = 10 (1) equation for the total number of herbs planted

0.50x + 0.25y = 3 (2) equation for the total cost of the herbs

Where x is the number of basil plants and y is the number of mint plants.

Using substitution, we can solve the system of equations.

Solving equation (1) for x, we get x = 10 - y

Substituting this into equation (2) we get:

0.50(10 - y) + 0.25y = 3

5 - 0.50y + 0.25y = 3

5 = 0.75y + 3

0.75y = -2

y = -2/0.75 = -8/3

So, Eden planted -8/3 mint plants, which doesn't make sense, as a fraction of plant are not possible. This implies that either the number of plants or the amount spent are incorrect or something is missing in the problem description.

Nevaeh earned a score of 850 on Exam A that had a mean of 550 and a standard deviation of 100. She is about to take Exam B that has a mean of 36 and a standard deviation of 10. How well must Nevaeh score on Exam B in order to do equivalently well as she did on Exam A? Assume that scores on each exam are normally distributed.

Answers

Nevaeh's score in Exam A of 850, where the mean and standard deviation are 550, and 100, indicates, using the z-score, that in Exam B with a mean and standard deviation of 36 and 10, respectively, her score should be 66.

What is a z-score?

A z-score is an indication of the number of standard deviations, a data point is from the mean.

The score Nevaeh earned in Exam A, x₁ = 850

The mean score for Exam A, μ₁ = 550

The standard deviation for Exam A, σ₁ = 100

The mean score for Exam B, μ₂ = 36

The standard deviation for Exam B, σ₂ = 10

A quantity that can be used to evaluate Nevaeh's score for Exam A is the z-score, which can be expressed as follows;

[tex]z = \dfrac{x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

Nevaeh's z-score for Exam A is therefore;

[tex]z = \dfrac{850 - 550}{100} =3[/tex]

Nevaeh's performance on Exam B in order for her to do equivalently well as she did on Exam A is obtained by using a z-score of 3 for her performance in Exam B as follows;

[tex]z = 3 = \dfrac{x_2 - 36}{10}[/tex]

3 × 10 = x₂ - 36

30 = x₂ - 36

x₂ = 30 + 36 = 66

Nevaeh's score on Exam B should be 66 in order for her to perform equivalently well as she did in Exam A

What is function?

In mathematics, function is an expression that shows a relationship between an independent variable and a dependent variable. In other words, a function creates a relation between an input to an output.

As per the given function F(x), x is the independent variable and F (x) is the dependent variables.

generally, we write F(x) = y

What is the value of F ( -3, 2) for the function given in question?

given, F (x) = 4x² - 3x -72

F (x) is a function of x

for x = - 3, F ( -3) = 4(-3) ² - 3(-3) -72

F (- 3) = - 27

again, x = 2, we get F (2) = 4(2) ² - 3(2) - 72

F (2) = - 62

from the above calculation, we find (-3, 2) are domain of function F (x) and

(- 27, -62) are ranges of the above function.

If the bar breaks into several pieces, they keep breaking the pieces up until only the individual squares remain. The player who cannot make a break loses the game. Who will win

Answers

The player who goes first will win.

This is because the chocolate bar can be broken up into 6*8=48 squares, and the player who goes first can always ensure that the second player is left with one square on their turn (by breaking the bar into two pieces that leave one square for the second player to take). This means that the second player will always be the one who cannot make a break, and thus loses the game.

Therefore, The player who goes first will win.

Let x be the coefficient of y^2 in the expression 2x^2y+15xy^2-7y. So x=0.

What is co-efficient?

A coefficient is a multiplicative factor in a polynomial, series, or expression in mathematics. It is typically a number, although it can also be any expression (including variables such as a, b and c). They may also be referred to as parameters if the coefficients are variables in and of themselves.

Write an example of co-efficient.

As an illustration, 6z stands for 6 times z. Since z is a variable, 6 is a coefficient. For variables without a value, the coefficient is 1.

The given algebraic expression is 2yx^2+15xy^2-7y.

How do you know if its linear or linear?

Answers

Linear equations are equations that can be written in the form ax + b = c, where a, b, and c are real numbers and a ≠ 0.

The equation can be solved for the variable x by subtracting b from both sides and then dividing both sides by a. This will give the solution for x, which is x = (c - b) / a.

For example, consider the equation 2x + 4 = 10. This is a linear equation since it can be written in the form ax + b = c, where a = 2, b = 4, and c = 10. To solve for x, subtract b from both sides to get 2x = 6, and then divide both sides by a to get x = 3. Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 3.

When can parallelism make your algorithms run faster when could it make your algorithms run slower?

Answers

When an algorithm necessitates extensive sharing of instantaneous results, parallelism slows it down. Because there are multiple independent parallel processes and the right number of threads, parallelism will speed up an algorithm.

What algorithm is parallelizable?

The ones with data dependencies are the most challenging. It will be exceedingly challenging, for instance, if you are dealing with a vector and the input for the computation at point n depends on the output at position n-1.

When this occurs, you must comprehend what the original algorithm is doing and take an alternative approach. For the aforementioned case, it might be a difficulty with digital signal processing including a feedback-containing digital filter. These are challenging to parallelize, but that is not the sole solution. Instead, you might use the filter and signal's fast Fourier transforms, multiply them, and then perform the inverse transform. All of these operations can be partially parallelized.

A right angle triangle is a triangle that has one of its angles as 90 degrees. The sum of angles in a right angle triangle is 180 degrees.

The sides of a right angle triangle can be found using trigonometric ratios as follows:

Therefore,

sin 60° = opposite / hypotenuse

where

opposite side = c

hypotenuse side = 6√3 ft

Hence,

sin 60° = c / 6 √3

cross multiply

c = 6√3 × sin 60
