Answer: 18.18%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's calculate the surface area of the original piece of wood. The surface area (SA) of a rectangular prism is given by the formula:

[tex]$$SA = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh$$[/tex]

where [tex]\(l\)[/tex] is the length, [tex]\(l\)[/tex] is the width, and [tex]\(h\)[/tex] is the height. For the original piece of wood, [tex]\(l = 10\) inches[/tex], [tex]\(w = 4\) inches[/tex], and [tex]\(h = 5\) inches[/tex].

After the piece of wood is cut in half, the length becomes 5 inches, but the width and height remain the same. So, for each of the two new pieces of wood, [tex]\(l = 5\) inches[/tex], [tex]\(w = 4\) inches[/tex], and [tex]\(h = 5\) inches[/tex]. The total surface area of the two new pieces of wood is twice the surface area of one of the new pieces.

The percent increase in the total surface area is given by the formula:

[tex]$$\text{Percent Increase} = \frac{\text{New Total SA} - \text{Original SA}}{\text{Original SA}} \times 100\%$$[/tex]

Let's calculate these values.

The percent increase in the total surface area when the piece of wood is cut in half is approximately 18.18%.

If 23 plants were planted on Monday, 28 plants on Tuesday and 29 plants on Wednesday, and 90 plants were planted on Thursday, we can determine that we started with 10 plants initially.

To determine how many plants to start with initially, we need to perform a series of calculations based on the information provided.

On Monday 23 plants were planted, on Tuesday 28 plants were planted and on Wednesday 29 plants were planted. If on Thursday there were a total of 90 plants, we can add all the plants planted until Thursday and then subtract them from the total to obtain the initial amount.

Adding the plants planted:

23 + 28 + 29 = 80

Then, we subtract this amount from Thursday's total:

90 - 80 = 10

Therefore, we started with 10 plants initially.

In summary, if 23 plants were planted on Monday, 28 plants on Tuesday and 29 plants on Wednesday, and 90 plants were planted on Thursday, we can determine that we started with 10 plants initially. This is obtained by adding the plants planted until Thursday and then subtracting that amount from the total for Thursday.

Answer:  the store sold 14 jugs of milk, 42 loaves of bread, and 168 pieces of cheese today.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Let's represent the number of jugs of milk as 'm', the number of loaves of bread as 'b', and the number of pieces of cheese as 'c'. According to the given information:

The total number of items sold today is 224. Therefore, we can write the equation:

m + b + c = 224

The store sold three times as many loaves of bread as jugs of milk. We can write this as:

b = 3m

The store sold four times as many pieces of cheese as loaves of bread. We can write this as:

c = 4b

b) Now, let's solve the equation:

Substituting the value of 'b' from equation (2) into equation (3):

c = 4(3m)

c = 12m

Substituting the values of 'b' and 'c' from equations (2) and (3) into equation (1):

m + 3m + 12m = 224

16m = 224

m = 224 / 16

m = 14

Using the value of 'm' in equation (2):

b = 3m

b = 3(14)

b = 42

Using the value of 'b' in equation (3):

c = 4b

c = 4(42)

c = 168

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Let's denote the number of jugs of milk as 'x', the number of loaves of bread as 'y', and the number of pieces of cheese as 'z'.

Based on the given information, we can form two equations:

1) The total number of items sold today is 224:

x + y + z = 224

2) The store sold three times as many loaves of bread as jugs of milk:

y = 3x

3) The store sold four times as many pieces of cheese as loaves of bread:

z = 4y

b) To solve the equations and find the number of jugs of milk, loaves of bread, and pieces of cheese the store sold today, we will substitute equation (2) and equation (3) into equation (1):

x + y + z = 224

x + 3x + 4y = 224

4x + 4y = 224

Now, substitute y = 3x into the equation:

4x + 4(3x) = 224

4x + 12x = 224

16x = 224

Divide both sides by 16:

x = 224 / 16

x = 14

Now substitute the value of x back into equation (2) to find y:

y = 3x

y = 3(14)

y = 42

Finally, substitute the value of y into equation (3) to find z:

z = 4y

z = 4(42)

z = 168

Therefore, the store sold 14 jugs of milk, 42 loaves of bread, and 168 pieces of cheese today.

Answer : Focus is (0,3)

To find the focus of the parabola defined by the equation (y - 3)² = -8(x - 2), we can compare it with the standard form of a parabolic equation: (y - k)² = 4a(x - h).

In the given equation, we have:

(y - 3)² = -8(x - 2)

Comparing it with the standard form, we can determine the values of h, k, and a:

h = 2

k = 3

4a = -8

Solving for a, we get:

4a = -8

a = -8/4

a = -2

Therefore, the vertex of the parabola is (h, k) = (2, 3), and the value of 'a' is -2.

The focus of the parabola can be found using the formula:

F = (h + a, k)

Substituting the values, we get:

F = (2 + (-2), 3)

F = (0, 3)

Therefore, the focus of the parabola defined by the equation (y - 3)² = -8(x - 2) is at the point (0, 3).

Answer:

Focus = (0, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The focus is a fixed point located inside the curve of the parabola.

To find the focus of the given parabola, we first need to find the vertex (h, k) and the focal length "p".

The standard equation for a sideways parabola is:

[tex]\boxed{(y-k)^2=4p(x-h)}[/tex]

where:

If p > 0, the parabola opens to the right, and if p < 0, the parabola opens to the left.

Given equation:

[tex](y-3)^2=-8(x-2)[/tex]

Compare the given equation to the standard equation to determine the values of h, k and p:

The formula for the focus is (h+p, k).

Substituting the values of h, p and k into the formula, we get:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\textsf{Focus}&=(h+p,k)\\&=(2-2,3)\\&=(0,3)\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the focus of the parabola is (0, 3).

Brianna will owe $23,249.33 on her new vehicle after applying the down payment and taking advantage of the 33% off sale.

We need to follow these steps:

Calculate the discount on the Silverado:

Discount = 33% of $57,999

Discount = 0.33 * $57,999

Discount = $19,079.67

Subtract the discount from the original price of the Silverado:

Price after discount = $57,999 - $19,079.67

Price after discount = $38,919.33

Subtract Brianna's down payment from the price after discount:

Amount owed = Price after discount - Down payment

Amount owed = $38,919.33 - $15,670

Amount owed = $23,249.33

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional probability, denoted as P(A|B), represents the probability of event A occurring given that event B has occurred. If events A and B are independent, P(A|B) = P(A) and P(B|A) = P(B).

The notation P(A|B) reads the probability of Event (A occurring given that Event B has occurred). If two events are independent, then the probability of one event occurring (does not affect the probability of the other event occurring). Events A and B are independent if (P(A|B) = P(A), P(B|A) = P(B), P(A|B) = P(B|A)).

To understand the relationship between conditional probability and independent events, let's consider two events A and B. The conditional probability P(A|B) represents the probability of event A occurring given that event B has already occurred. It measures the likelihood of event A happening under the condition that event B has already taken place.

On the other hand, if two events A and B are independent, it means that the occurrence or non-occurrence of one event has no effect on the probability of the other event happening. In other words, the probability of event A happening is not influenced by the occurrence or non-occurrence of event B, and vice versa.

Mathematically, if events A and B are independent, it implies that P(A|B) = P(A) and P(B|A) = P(B). This means that the probability of event A occurring is the same whether or not event B has occurred, and the probability of event B occurring is the same whether or not event A has occurred.

Therefore, the concepts of conditional probability and independent events are related in the sense that if two events are independent, the conditional probabilities P(A|B) and P(B|A) become equal to the unconditional probabilities P(A) and P(B) respectively.

The equation to determine the initial amount of money Cecilia had is x = 0.

Let's denote the initial amount of money Cecilia had as "x" dollars.

According to the given information, Cecilia spent one-fourth (1/4) of her money on a book, which is (1/4)x dollars. After buying the book, she had (x - (1/4)x) dollars left.

Next, Cecilia spent half (1/2) of the remaining money on a comic, which is ((1/2)x - 8) dollars. After buying the comic, she had ((x - (1/4)x) - ((1/2)x - 8)) dollars remaining.

Since she had $8 left, we can set up the equation:

((x - (1/4)x) - ((1/2)x - 8)) = 8

To simplify the equation, we can first combine like terms:

(x - (1/4)x - (1/2)x + 8) = 8

Now, let's solve the equation step by step:

(x - (1/4)x - (1/2)x + 8) = 8

Multiplying the fractions by their common denominator, which is 4, we get:

(4x - x - 2x + 32) = 32

Simplifying further:

(x + 32) = 32

Subtracting 32 from both sides:
