Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm sure he was making a joke at the expense of people who rely on mathematics rather than common sense. It is funny, but then Twain was a remarkably funny author..
The problem is that the comparison is apt using some sort of proportion, but it is absurd to think that the land holding the river would also shrink a proportional amount.
The river reached a minimum (presumably) in 1875 by cutting out all the loops that were there in 1700. The Mississippi was then a straight line from it's beginning to its delta on the gulf of Mexico. It could not get any shorter. Still, Twain managed to get laughs with his whimsical humor.
Thanks for posting. This made my evening.

A die is rolled 5 times and a 5 or 6 is considered a success. Find the peobability of no success
Answer:
0.1317 = 13.17% probability of no successes.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each toss, there are only two possible outcomes. Either there is a success, or there is not. The probability of a success on a toss is independent of any other toss, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
A die is rolled 5 times.
This means that [tex]n = 5[/tex]
5 or 6 is considered a success.
2 out of 6 sides are successes, so:
[tex]p = \frac{2}{6} = 0.3333[/tex]
Find the probability of no success:
This is P(X = 0). So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{5,0}.(0.3333)^{0}.(0.6667)^{5} = 0.1317[/tex]
0.1317 = 13.17% probability of no successes.

The first five terms of an arithmetic sequence are shown below:
20, 17, 14, 11, 8, . . .
Let n represent the term number and f(n) the term in the sequence.
Choose a function that represents the sequence.
The answer to this question is f(n) = -3 + 23
Now my question is, how do you find the solution? I was taught the explicit formula is f(n) = m(n) + b, but no matter how many times I've tried to plug in the numbers I cannot seem to get the right answer. Please help me and do show the entire process and the steps.
Answer:
The function represents the sequence is - 3 n + 23.
Step-by-step explanation:
20. 17, 14, 11, 8,......
Here, the first term is
a = 20
Common difference, d = -3
Let the nth term is Tn.
Tn = a + (n -1) d
Tn = 20 + (n -1) x (-3)
Tn = 20 - 3 n + 3
Tn = 23 - 3 n = - 3 n + 23
So, the function represents the sequence is - 3 n + 23.
Answer:
Y'all know what it is already, but I want points, so: f(n) = -3n + 23

What is the slope of the line that passes through (17, −13) and (17, 8)?
(also can you try to explain ive been having trouble with these types of question)
Answer:
Slope is undefined. Line parallel to y-axis.
Step-by-step explanation:
By Analytic Geometry, we can determine the slope of a line by knowing two distinct lines and using the definition of secant line:
[tex]m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex] (1)
Where:
[tex](x_{1}, y_{1})[/tex] - Coordinates of the initial point.
[tex](x_{2}, y_{2})[/tex] - Coordinates of the final point.
[tex]m[/tex] - Slope.
If we know that [tex](x_{1}, y_{1}) = (17, -13)[/tex] and [tex](x_{2}, y_{2}) = (17, 8)[/tex], then the slope of the line is:
[tex]m = \frac{8-(-13)}{17-17}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{21}{0}[/tex]
The slope is undefined, which means that line is parallel to y-axis.
A pizza dough recipe calls for 6 1/2 cups of flour. The recipe makes 37 1/2 ounces of dough. How many ounces of dough does 1 cup of flour make?
Answer:
[tex]n = 5\frac{10}{13}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Call = 6\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cups
[tex]Recipe = 37\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ounce
Required
Number of ounces per cup (n)
To do this, we simply divide the Recipe by the call
So, we have:
[tex]n = \frac{Recipe}{Call}[/tex]
[tex]n = 37\frac{1}{2} \div 6\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Express as improper fraction
[tex]n = \frac{75}{2} \div \frac{13}{2}[/tex]
Rewrite as:
[tex]n = \frac{75}{2} * \frac{2}{13}[/tex]
[tex]n = \frac{75}{13}[/tex]
[tex]n = 5\frac{10}{13}[/tex]

Find a vector equation and parametric equations for the line The line through the point (2, 2.4, 3.5) and parallel to the vector 3i 1 2j 2 k
Answer:
The vector equation
[tex]r = (2 + 3t)i+ (2.4 + 2t)j+ (3.5 - t)k[/tex]
The parametric equation
[tex]x = 2 + 3t\\y = 2.4 + 2t\\z = 3.5-t[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Point = (2,2.4,3.5)[/tex]
[tex]Vector = 3i + 2j - k[/tex]
Required
The vector equation
First, we calculate the position vector of the point.
This is represented as:
[tex]r_0 = 2i + 2.4j + 3.5k[/tex]
The vector equation is then calculated as:
[tex]r = r_o + t * Vector[/tex]
[tex]r = 2i + 2.4j + 3.5k + t * (3i + 2j - k)[/tex]
Open bracket
[tex]r = 2i + 2.4j + 3.5k + 3ti + 2tj - tk[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex]r = 2i + 3ti+ 2.4j + 2tj+ 3.5k - tk[/tex]
Factorize
[tex]r = (2 + 3t)i+ (2.4 + 2t)j+ (3.5 - t)k[/tex]
The parametric equation is represented as:
[tex]x = x_0 + at\\y = y_0 + bt\\z = z_0 + ct[/tex]
Where
[tex]r = (x_0 + at)i +(y_0 + bt)j+(z_0 + ct)k[/tex]
By comparison:
[tex]x = 2 + 3t\\y = 2.4 + 2t\\z = 3.5-t[/tex]

A confided aquifer has a piezometric height of 30 feet before being pumped. The well is then pumped at 250 gallons/day for a very long time and results in a drawdown of 10 feet at the well. If the transmissivity in the aquifer is 10.0 ft2/day and the radius of the well is 0.5 feet, estimate the drawdown in feet for a well 50 feet away
Answer:
[tex]d_2=-8.32ft[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Height of first draw down [tex]h=30[/tex]
Pump Discharge [tex]Q=250gallons/day[/tex]
Well 1 depth [tex]d_1=10ft[/tex]
Transmissivity[tex]\=T 10.0 ft2/day[/tex]
Radius[tex]r=0.5[/tex]
Well 2 depth [tex]d_2=50ft[/tex]
Generally the Thiem's equation for Discharge is mathematically given by
[tex]Q=\frac{2\piT(h_2-h_1)}{ln(\frac{r_2}{r_1})}[/tex]
[tex]250=\frac{2*\pi 10 (10-d_2)}{ln(\frac{50}{0.5})}[/tex]
[tex]1151.293=2*\pi 10 (10-d_2)[/tex]

Use sigma notation to represent the sum of the first seven terms of the following sequence: −4, −6, −8, …
Answer:
[tex]\sum_{n = 1}^{7} -2 -2n[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Arithmetic sequence:
In an arithmetic sequence, the difference of consecutive terms is always the same, called common difference.
The nth term of a sequence is given by:
[tex]a_{n} = a_1 + (n-1)d[/tex]
In which [tex]a_1[/tex] is the first term and d is the common difference.
Sigma notation to represent the sum of the first seven terms
Sum going from the index starting at 1 and finishing at 7, that is:
[tex]\sum_{n = 1}^{7} f(n)[/tex]
Now we have to fund the function, which is given by an arithmetic sequence.
−4, −6, −8,
First term -4, common difference - 6 - (-4) = -6 + 4 = -2, so [tex]a_1 = -4, d = -2[/tex]
Then
[tex]f(n) = a_{n} = a_1 + (n-1)d[/tex]
[tex]f(n) = -4 + (n-1)(-2)[/tex]
[tex]f(n) = -4 - 2n + 2 = -2 - 2n[/tex]
Sigma notation:
Replacing f(n)
[tex]\sum_{n = 1}^{7} -2 -2n[/tex]
