The probability of picking a blue marble and then a green marble without replacing the blue one is 4/45.

We have,

We see that there are 10 marbles.

Now,

Number of blue marbles = 2

Number of green marbles = 4

Now,

The probability of picking a blue marble first is 2/10, as there are 2 blue marbles out of 10 in total.

After picking a blue marble, there will be 9 marbles left in the bag.

The probability of picking a green marble second, without replacing the blue one, is 4/9, as there are 4 green marbles remaining out of the 9 marbles in total.

Now,

P(blue marble and green marble) = P(blue marble) x P(green marble)

= (2/10) x (4/9)

= 8/90

= 4/45.

Therefore,

The probability of picking a blue marble and then a green marble without replacing the blue one is 4/45.

Donna can expect her total monthly housing expenses to be approximately $842.71 for the first month after purchasing the house, assuming no tax benefits or amortization on the loan.

To calculate Donna's monthly housing expenses, we first need to determine the total amount of the mortgage. Since she puts down $25,000 on a $125,000 house, she will need to take out a mortgage for $100,000.

Next, we can calculate the annual cost of owning the house beyond the 5% cost of mortgage interest, which is given as 4.09% of the value of the house. So, 4.09% of $125,000 is:

0.0409 x $125,000 = $5,112.50

This means that Donna can expect to pay approximately $5,112.50 per year in additional expenses associated with owning the house.

To calculate the monthly cost, we simply divide this by 12:

$5,112.50 / 12 = $426.04

So, Donna can expect to pay approximately $426.04 per month in additional expenses associated with owning the house.

Adding the cost of the mortgage interest, we can calculate her total monthly housing expenses as follows:

Total monthly housing expenses = Mortgage interest + Additional annual costs / 12

Mortgage interest = 5% of $100,000 = $5,000 per year or $416.67 per month

Total monthly housing expenses = $416.67 + ($5,112.50 / 12) = $416.67 + $426.04 = $842.71

Hence, Donna can expect her total monthly housing expenses to be approximately $842.71

Answer:

444523.45 square miles

Step-by-step explanation:

By using Heron's formula, we can easily find the area of the triangle formed by Miami, Bermuda, and San Juan, we need to use the lengths of the three sides of the triangle.

Let,

Side a: Distance from Miami to Bermuda = 1042 miles

Side b: Distance from Bermuda to San Juan = 965 miles

Side c: Distance from San Juan to Miami = 1038 miles

Now we can use Heron's formula to find the area of the triangle:

s =[tex]\frac{a+b+c}{2}[/tex]

s = [tex]\frac{1042 + 965 + 1038}{2}=1522.5[/tex] miles

A = [tex]\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}[/tex]

A = [tex]\sqrt{1522.5(1522.5-1042)(1522.5-965)(1522.5-1038)}=444523.45[/tex]

Therefore, the area of the triangle formed by Miami, Bermuda, and San Juan is approximately 444523.45 square miles.

Answer:

444,523.45 square miles (2 d.p.)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a triangle formed by the locations of Miami, Bermuda, and San Juan, use Heron's formula.

[tex]\boxed{\begin{minipage}{8 cm}\underline{Heron's Formula}\\\\$A=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}$\\\\where:\\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $A$ is the area of the triangle. \\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $a, b$ and $c$ are the side lengths of the triangle. \\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $s$ is half the perimeter.\\\end{minipage}}[/tex]

Label the three sides of the triangle as 'a', 'b', and 'c', where 'a' is the distance from Miami to Bermuda (1042 miles), 'b' is the distance from Bermuda to San Juan (965 miles), and 'c' is the distance from San Juan to Miami (1038 miles):

To find the half perimeter, s, half the sum of the three side lengths:

[tex]\implies s=\dfrac{a+b+c}{2}=\dfrac{1042+965+1038}{2}=1522.5[/tex]

Substitute the values of a, b, c and s into Heron's formula and solve for area, A:

[tex]\begin{aligned}A&=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}\\&=\sqrt{1522.5(1522.5-1042)(1522.5-965)(1522.5-1038)}\\&=\sqrt{1522.5(480.5)(557.5)(484.5)}\\&=444523.4468348...\\&=444523.45\; \sf miles^2\;(2\;d.p.)\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the area of the triangle formed by the three locations is 444,523.45 square miles, to two decimal places.

The Interquartile range for the given data set is 51.

The interquartile range for a given data set, the values of the first quartile (Q1) and the third quartile (Q3). The interquartile range is the difference between Q3 and Q1.

First, let's arrange the data set in ascending order:

4, 5, 6, 27, 27, 41, 48, 54, 64, 71, 78, 79

To find Q1, which represents the lower quartile, we need to locate the median of the lower half of the data set. Since the data set has 12 values, the lower half consists of the first 6 values:

4, 5, 6, 27, 27, 41

The median of this lower half is the average of the middle two values, which are 6 and 27:

Q1 = (6 + 27) / 2 = 33 / 2 = 16.5

To find Q3, the upper quartile, we need to locate the median of the upper half of the data set. Again, since the data set has 12 values, the upper half consists of the last 6 values:

48, 54, 64, 71, 78, 79

The median of this upper half is the average of the middle two values, which are 64 and 71:

Q3 = (64 + 71) / 2 = 135 / 2 = 67.5

Finally, we can calculate the interquartile range by subtracting Q1 from Q3:

Interquartile range = Q3 - Q1 = 67.5 - 16.5 = 51

Therefore, the interquartile range for the given data set is 51.

The resulting mixture contains approximately 64.5% alcohol, not 58.6% as you mentioned.

We can calculate the weighted average of the alcohol percentages based on the volumes of each component.

Let's figure out how much alcohol there is overall in the mixture:

Total alcohol is calculated as follows: (Volume of 45% alcohol) * (Property of 45% alcohol) + (Volume of 82% alcohol) * (Property of 82% alcohol) + (Volume of 92% alcohol) * (Property of 92% alcohol).

Total alcohol = (5 liters) * (45%) + (4 liters) * (82%) + (1 liter) * (92%)

Total alcohol = 2.25 liters + 3.28 liters + 0.92 liters

Total alcohol = 6.45 liters

Let's now determine the amount of alcohol included in the final mixture:

Alcohol content is calculated as (total alcohol / total mixture volume) * 100.

The mixture's total volume is  = 5 liters + 4 liters + 1 liter = 10 liters

Alcohol content: (6.45 liters / 10 liters) x 100 = 64.5%

Therefore, the resulting mixture contains approximately 64.5% alcohol, not 58.6% as you mentioned.

The area of a regular polygon can be found using the following formula:

[tex]\boxed{\bold{Area =\frac{1}{2}* n * s * a}}[/tex]

where:

In this case, we have:

First, we need to find S.

We can find the length of one side using the following formula:

[tex]\bold{s = 2 * 5 * tan(\frac{\pi}{12})=2.679}[/tex]   here π is 180°

To find the area substituting value in the above area's formula:

[tex]\bold{Area = \frac{1}{2}* 12 * 2.679 * 5=80.37\: sqaure\: units}[/tex]

in nearest tenth 80.4 square units.

Therefore, the area of the regular polygon is 80.4 square units.

Answer:

80.4 square units (nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given diagram shows a regular dodecagon (12-sided polygon) with an apothem of 5 units.

The apothem of a regular polygon is the distance from the center of the polygon to the midpoint of one of its sides.

We can calculate the side length of a regular polygon given its apothem using the following formula:

[tex]\boxed{\begin{minipage}{5.5cm}\underline{Apothem of a regular polygon}\\\\$a=\dfrac{s}{2 \tan\left(\dfrac{180^{\circ}}{n}\right)}$\\\\where:\\\phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $s$ is the side length.\\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $n$ is the number of sides.\\\end{minipage}}[/tex]

Substitute n = 12 and a = 5 into the equation to create an expression for s:

[tex]5=\dfrac{s}{2 \tan \left(\dfrac{180^{\circ}}{12}\right)}[/tex]

[tex]s=10\tan \left(15^{\circ}\right)[/tex]

Now we can use the standard formula for an area of a regular polygon:

[tex]\boxed{\begin{minipage}{6cm}\underline{Area of a regular polygon}\\\\$A=\dfrac{n\cdot s\cdot a}{2}$\\\\where:\\\phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $n$ is the number of sides.\\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $s$ is the length of one side.\\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $a$ is the apothem.\\\end{minipage}}[/tex]

Substitute the found expression for s, n = 12 and a = 5 into the formula and solve for A:

[tex]A=\dfrac{12 \cdot 10\tan \left(15^{\circ}\right) \cdot 5}{2}[/tex]

[tex]A=\dfrac{600\tan \left(15^{\circ}\right)}{2}[/tex]

[tex]A=300\tan \left(15^{\circ}\right)[/tex]

[tex]A=80.3847577...[/tex]

[tex]A=80.4\; \sf square\;units\;(nearest\;tenth)[/tex]

Therefore, the area of a regular dodecagon with an apothem of 5 units is 80.4 square units, rounded to the nearest tenth.

The correct step to prove that [tex]BC^2 = AB^2 + AC^2[/tex] is:

By the cross product property, [tex]AC^2 = BC \cdot AD[/tex].

To prove that [tex]BC^2 = AB^2 + AC^2[/tex], we can use the triangle similarity and the Pythagorean theorem. Here's a step-by-step explanation:

Given triangle ABC with right angle at A and segment AD perpendicular to segment BC.

By triangle similarity, triangle ABD is similar to triangle ABC. This is because angle A is common, and angle BDA is a right angle (as AD is perpendicular to BC).

Using the proportionality of similar triangles, we can write the following ratio:

[tex]$\frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{AD}{AB}$[/tex]

Cross-multiplying, we get:

[tex]$AB^2 = BC \cdot AD$[/tex]

Similarly, using triangle similarity, triangle ACD is also similar to triangle ABC. This gives us:

[tex]$\frac{AC}{BC} = \frac{AD}{AC}$[/tex]

Cross-multiplying, we have:

[tex]$AC^2 = BC \cdot AD$[/tex]

Now, we can substitute the derived expressions into the original equation:

[tex]$BC^2 = AB^2 + AC^2$\\$BC^2 = (BC \cdot AD) + (BC \cdot AD)$\\$BC^2 = 2 \cdot BC \cdot AD$[/tex]

It was made possible by cross-product property.

Therefore, the correct step to prove that [tex]BC^2 = AB^2 + AC^2[/tex] is:

By the cross product property, [tex]AC^2 = BC \cdot AD[/tex].

Answer: To solve the inequality x^2 + 3x - 4 > 0, we can use the method of factoring.

First, we can factor the quadratic expression:

x^2 + 3x - 4 = (x + 4)(x - 1)

Now we can find the values of x that make the expression greater than zero by looking at the sign of the expression for each factor and applying the sign rules of multiplication:

Using this method, we can create a sign chart:

x x + 4 x - 1 x^2 + 3x - 4

-4 0 -5 +6

-1 + - -

1 + + +

0 + - -

2 + + +

From the sign chart, we can see that the expression is greater than zero for x < -4 or x > 1. Therefore, the solutions to the inequality are all real numbers x such that x < -4 or x > 1. We can write this as:

Answer:

a₁₀₀ = 1074

Step-by-step explanation:

the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

given a₃ = 7 and a₁₂ = 106 , then

a₁ + 2d = 7 → (1)

a₁ + 11d = 106 → (2)

solve the equations simultaneously to find a₁ and d

subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate a₁

(a₁ - a₁) + (11d - 2d) = 106 - 7

0 + 9d = 99

9d = 99 ( divide both sides by 9 )

d = 11

substitute d = 11 into (1) and solve for a₁

a₁ + 2(11) = 7

a₁ + 22 = 7 ( subtract 22 from both sides )

a₁ = - 15

Then

a₁₀₀ = - 15 + (99 × 11) = - 15 + 1089 = 1074

a. The surface area of the cylinder is 120π square units.

b. Assuming the diameter and the height of the cylinder are cut in half, the surface area of the cylinder would be reduced by a scale factor of 1/4.

In Mathematics and Geometry, the surface area (SA) of a cylinder can be calculated by using this mathematical equation (formula):

SA = 2πrh + 2πr²

Where:

Note: Radius = diameter/2 = 8/2 = 4 m.

By substituting the side lengths into the formula for the surface area (SA) of a cylinder, we have the following;

Surface area = 2πrh + 2πr²

Surface area = 2(π)(4)(11) + 2(π)(4²)

Surface area = 120π square units.

Part b.

Assuming the diameter and the height of the cylinder are cut in half, we have:

Surface area = 2(π)(4/2)(11/2) + 2(π)((4/2)²)

Surface area = 2(π)(2)(5.5) + 2(π)(2²)

Surface area = (π)(2)(11) + 2(π)(4)

Surface area = 22π + 8π

The equation of the given sine function is y = 4 × sin((π/5)x) + 2.

The equation of the given sine function can be determined based on the given information. We know that the general form of a sine function is:

y = A × sin(Bx - C) + D,

where A represents the amplitude, B represents the frequency, C represents the phase shift, and D represents the vertical shift.

In this case, we are given the following information:

Amplitude (A) = 4: The amplitude is the distance between the maximum and minimum values of the function. Since the function is reflected over the x-axis, the amplitude is positive 4.

Midline (D) = 2: The midline is the horizontal line around which the graph oscillates. In this case, it is y = 2, indicating a vertical shift of 2 units upwards.

Period = 10: The period is the distance between two consecutive peaks (or troughs) of the function.

Given that there is no phase shift, the phase shift (C) is 0.

From the given information, we can deduce the values of A, B, C, and D to construct the equation.

A = 4 (amplitude)

D = 2 (vertical shift)

C = 0 (no phase shift)

To determine B, we use the formula:

B = 2π / Period

Plugging in the value for Period (10), we can calculate B:

B = 2π / 10 = π / 5

Therefore, the equation of the given sine function is:

y = 4 × sin((π/5)x) + 2.

The slopes of the lines connecting all the points are distinct. Hence, they form a triangle.

To show that the points (2, 5), (5, 2), and (6, 6) form a triangle, we can calculate the slopes of the lines connecting these points. If the slopes are all distinct, then the points form a triangle.

Let's calculate the slopes:

The slope between (2, 5) and (5, 2):

m₁ = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

= (2 - 5) / (5 - 2)

= -3/3

= -1

The slope between (2, 5) and (6, 6):

m₂ = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

= (6 - 5) / (6 - 2)

= 1/4

The slope between (5, 2) and (6, 6):

m₃ = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

= (6 - 2) / (6 - 5)

= 4/1

= 4

Since the slopes of the lines connecting these points are all distinct (-1, 1/4, and 4), the points (2, 5), (5, 2), and (6, 6) form a triangle.

The expression that best reveals the maximum and minimum of the function[tex]f(x) = x^2 - 8x - 4 is (x - 4)^2 - 20.[/tex] Option A

The vertex form of a quadratic function is given by[tex]f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k[/tex] where (h, k) represents the coordinates of the vertex.

In the given quadratic function [tex]f(x) = x^2 - 8x - 4[/tex], we can rewrite it in the vertex form by completing the square:

[tex]f(x) = (x - 4)^2 - 16 - 4\\f(x) = (x - 4)^2 - 20[/tex]

From this expression, we can see that the vertex of the quadratic function is at the point (4, -20).

The term[tex](x - 4)^2[/tex] tells us that the vertex is at x = 4, and the constant term -20 indicates the y-coordinate of the vertex.

The expression that best reveals the maximum and minimum of the function[tex]f(x) = x^2 - 8x - 4[/tex] is  [tex](x - 4)^2 - 20.[/tex]
