HELP ASAP!! A student is painting a brick for his teacher to use as a doorstop in the classroom. He is only painting the front of the brick. The vertices of the face are (−4, 2), (−4, −11), (4, 2), and (4, −11). What is the area, in square inches, of the painted face of the brick?
A. 42 in2
B. 52 in2
C. 104 in2
D. 128 in2

Answer:

77.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Scores: 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95

Number of Students: 8, 5, 3, 6, 6, 4, 2

Step 1: Calculate the sum

Sum = (65 * 8) + (70 * 5) + (75 * 3) + (80 * 6) + (85 * 6) + (90 * 4) + (95 * 2)

= 520 + 350 + 225 + 480 + 510 + 360 + 190

= 2635

Step 2: Calculate the mean

Mean = Sum / Total Number of Students

= 2635 / (8 + 5 + 3 + 6 + 6 + 4 + 2)

= 2635 / 34

≈ 77.5

Answer:

4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

class total = 21

chance of picking one of 12 boys out of 21.

12/21 which can be simpilfied to 4/7

Answer:

In explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the rational equation 1/x + 1/(x + 2) = 9/40, we can start by finding a common denominator and then simplifying the equation. The common denominator for the two fractions is (x)(x + 2). Multiplying each term by this common denominator, we get:

[(x + 2) + x] / (x)(x + 2) = 9/40

Simplifying the numerator, we have:

(2x + 2) / (x)(x + 2) = 9/40

Now, we can cross-multiply to eliminate the denominators:

40(2x + 2) = 9(x)(x + 2)

Expanding both sides, we have:

80x + 80 = 9x^2 + 18x

Rearranging the equation and setting it equal to zero:

9x^2 - 62x - 80 = 0

Now, we can factor the quadratic equation:

(9x + 10)(x - 8) = 0

Setting each factor equal to zero, we have:

9x + 10 = 0 or x - 8 = 0

Solving for x in each case:

9x = -10 or x = 8

Dividing both sides of the first equation by 9, we find:

x = -10/9 or x = 8

Since we are looking for even integers, we can disregard the negative solution. Therefore, the value of x is 8.

Hence, the two consecutive even integers can be represented by x and x + 2, which gives us 8 and 10. So, the integers are 8 and 10.

The chemist needs to use 5 liters of the 30% solution and 5 liters of water.

Answer:

30% solution x liters

30%(water) 10-x liters

15% 10 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Reason:

This is a geometric series with

The template is [tex]a(r)^{n-1}[/tex]

If -1 < r < 1, then the infinite geometric series converges to a finite number. This is because we add on smaller and smaller pieces, which prevents the sum going off to infinity.

In the case of r = -1/3, it fits the interval  -1 < r < 1. In other words -1 < -1/3 < 1 is true.

We'll plug those values into the formula below to wrap things up.

[tex]S = \frac{a}{1-r}\\\\S = \frac{-4}{1-(-1/3)}\\\\S = \frac{-4}{1+1/3}\\\\S = \frac{-4}{3/3+1/3}\\\\[/tex]

[tex]S = \frac{-4}{4/3}\\\\S = -4 \div \frac{4}{3}\\\\S = \frac{-4}{1} \times \frac{3}{4}\\\\S = \frac{-4*3}{1*4}\\\\S = -3\\\\[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} -4\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)^{n-1} = -3[/tex]

The final answer is -3.

You can verify the answer by generating partial sums with a spreadsheet. The partial sums should steadily get closer to -3.

Here's a few partial sums.

[tex]\begin{array}{|c|c|c|} \cline{1-3}\text{n} & \text{a}_{\text{n}} & \text{S}_{\text{n}}\\\cline{1-3}1 & -4 & -4\\\cline{1-3}2 & 1.333333 & -2.666667\\\cline{1-3}3 & -0.444444 & -3.111111\\\cline{1-3}4 & 0.148148 & -2.962963\\\cline{1-3}5 & -0.049383 & -3.012346\\\cline{1-3}6 & 0.016461 & -2.995885\\\cline{1-3}7 & -0.005487 & -3.001372\\\cline{1-3}8 & 0.001829 & -2.999543\\\cline{1-3}9 & -0.00061 & -3.000153\\\cline{1-3}10 & 0.000203 & -2.99995\\\cline{1-3}\end{array}[/tex]

The interesting thing is that the partial sums [tex]S_n[/tex]  bounce around -3 while also getting closer to it.
