A theater can seat 864 people. The number of rows is 5 less than the number of seats in each row. How many rows of seats are there?

Answers

Answer 1
There should be 27 rows of 32 seats.
Answer 2

Final answer:

To determine the number of rows in a theater that can seat 864 people, with the number of rows being 5 less than the number of seats per row, we set up the equation x(x-5)=864. Solving this quadratic equation, we find that there are 31 rows of seats.

Explanation:

To solve for the number of rows in the theater, let's denote the number of seats in each row as x and the number of rows as x - 5. Since the product of the number of seats in each row and the number of rows will give us the total seating capacity, we can write down the equation:

x(x - 5) = 864

Expanding the equation, we get:

x2 - 5x - 864 = 0

Using the quadratic formula or factoring, we find that x = 36. Therefore:

The number of rows is x - 5 = 36 - 5 = 31.

So, the theater has 31 rows of seats.

Suppose △DEF≅△MNO.
Which congruency statement is true?

A) DF≅NO
B) DE≅MN
C) EF≅MN
D) EF≅MO

Answers

the answer is b. would u like to see steps or are you good?
Final answer:

When triangles are congruent, their corresponding sides and angles are the same. Hence in congruent triangles △DEF and △MNO, side DF is congruent to side MN, thus option B) DE≅MN is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In the case of congruent triangles, the corresponding sides and angles are essentially the same. Therefore, we must match up the corresponding sides. A correct statement would be that side DF, from the first triangle, is congruent to side MN, from the second triangle. Hence the correct option is B) DE≅MN.

Additionally, DE would be congruent to MN, and EF would be congruent to NO, completing the congruence between triangles △DEF and △MNO.

State the slope and the y-intercept of each given graph plz help i really dont know how to do this

Answers

For graph 1, the y-intercept is (0,1) and the slope is 1. 
For graph 2, the y-intercept is (0,4) and the slope is -1. 
For graph 3, the y-intercept is (0,-4) and the slope is -2.
For graph 4, the y-intercept is (0,-3) and the slope is 3/2.
For graph 5, the y-intercept is (0,4) and the slope is 2.
For graph 6, the y-intercept is (0,3) and the slope is -3/2.

(By the way, since the graphs aren't labeled as numbers, I went from left to right, and then down, and then left to right again).

Now, here's the explanation: 

Solving for y-intercept is easier than it sounds. All you need to do is mark the point where the line crosses the y-axis (vertical axis).

Solving for slope is just rise/run. For example, in graph one, the points on the line went up one and then to the right one.

So, 1/1 = 1. 

When a slope moves down or to the left, it will be negative. However, that's only if the rise OR run is down/left. If both are negative, the two will cancel each other out to make a positive. 

Hope this helped!!

how many square inches does an "11x13" area encompass

Answers

143 square inches          

Answer:

143 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of encompass is given by 11 * 13 inches.

Here the length = 11 inches and the width = 13 inches.

The length and width have different numbers, so the given figure is a rectangle.

Area of a rectangle = length * width

Area of the figure = 11*13

= 143 square inches

The unit for the area is "square"

The units are given in inches, therefore, it is 143 square inches.

A direct variation equation takes the form "b = ka," where the k is the constant of variation. In this case, 1 (b) is one-half as large as 2 (a), so the constant will be 0.5. This would allow the equation to be written as "b = 0.5a," and the constant of variation in this equation is 0.5.

Write the equation for the following relation. Include all of your work in your final answer. Submit your solution. P = {(x, y): (1, 0), (2, 4), (3, 8), (4, 12), . . .}

Answers

First, we will notice that while the value of x increases by 1, the corresponding value of y increases by 4. This means that this is a linear relation.

The general equation for linear equations is : y = mx + c where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

To get the slope, we will need to use two points. Let's take the first and the last points: (1,0) and (4,12)
The slope is calculated as: (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
Use the chosen points to substitute in the equation and get the slope as follows:
m = (12-0) / (4-1) = 12/3 = 4

Now, the equation of the line became: y = 4x + c

The given points all satisfy the equation of the line, we can use any of them to substitute in the equation and get the value of c.
For instance, I will use the first point: (1,0)
y = 4x + c
0 = 4(1) + c
c = -4

The equation of the line is:
y = 4x - 4

Option D is correct. 0.093 can be expressed in scientific notation as [tex]9.3 \times 10^{-2}[/tex].

To express the number 0.093 in scientific notation, we need to determine the coefficient and exponent.

0.093 can be written as 9.3 multiplied by a power of 10.

Since 0.093 is less than 1, the exponent should be negative.

g. What is the variance of square root of 2Y?

h. Assume this distribution holds for all hours and days and that one call is independent from another. What is the probability that 120 or fewer calls are received for every day of this week? (Assume appropriate independence

Add any comments below.

Answers

Part A:

Given that Y is the number of phone calls received in a day and that a new iPhone user receives an average of 4.2 phone calls per hour.

Thus, the average number of phone calls received in a day is 4.2 * 24 = 100.8

Therefore, the λ for Y is 100.8



Part B:

The standard deviation of a Poisson distribution is given by

[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{\lambda}[/tex]

Thus, the standard deviation of X is given by

[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{4.2}=2.05[/tex]

Therefore, the standard deviation of X is 2.05.



Part C:

The standard deviation of Y is given by

[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{100.8}=10.04[/tex]

Therefore, the standard deviation of X is 10.04.



Part D:

The probability of a Poisson distribution is given by

[tex]P(X=x)=e^{-\lambda} \frac{\lambda^x}{x!} [/tex]

where, x is the number of occurence of the event in the given period.

Thus, the probability that no calls are received in an hour is given by

[tex]P(X=0)=e^{-4.2} \frac{(4.2)^0}{0!} =0.015[/tex]

Therefore, the probability that no calls are received in an hour is 0.015



Part E:

We approximate the Poisson distribution using Normal distribution by noting that for a Poisson distribution

[tex]\mu=\lambda \\ \\ \sigma^2=\lambda \\ \\ \sigma=\sqrt{\lambda}[/tex]

The probability of a normal distribution is given by

[tex]P(X\ \textless \ x)=P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \right)[/tex]

Thus, the probability that more than 120 calls are received in a day is given by

[tex]P(X\ \textgreater \ 120)=1-P(X\leq120) \\ \\ =1-P\left(z\leq \frac{120-100.8}{10.04} \right)=1-P(z\leq1.912) \\ \\ =1-0.97208=0.0279[/tex]

Therefore, the probability that more than 120 calls are received in a day is 0.0279



Part F:

We also approximate this using Normal distribution

The probability of a normal distribution between two value (a, b) is given by

[tex]P(a\ \textless \ X\ \textless \ b)=P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{b-\mu}{\sigma} \right)-P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{a-\mu}{\sigma} \right)[/tex]

Thus, the probability that Y is between 90 and 110 inclusive is given by

[tex]P(90\leq X\leq 110)=P\left(z\leq \ \frac{110-100.8}{10.04} \right)-P\left(z\leq \frac{90-100.8}{10.04} \right) \\ \\ =P(z\leq0.916)-P(-1.076)=0.82025-0.14103=0.67922[/tex]

Therefore, the probability that Y is between 90 and 110 is 0.67922



Part G:

The variance of aY is given by

[tex]Var(aY)=a^2Var(Y)[/tex]

Thus, the variance of [tex] \sqrt{2} Y[/tex] is given by

[tex]Var( \sqrt{2} Y)=( \sqrt{2} )^2Var(Y)=2(100.8)=201.6[/tex]

Therefore, the variance of [tex] \sqrt{2} Y[/tex] is 201.6



Part H:

We approximate this using Normal distribution

The probability of a normal distribution is given by

[tex]P(X\ \textless \ x)=P\left(z\ \textless \ \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \right)[/tex]

Thus, the probability that 120 or fewer calls are received in a day is given by

[tex]P(X\leq120)=P\left(z\leq \frac{120-100.8}{10.04} \right) \\ \\ =P(z\leq1.912)=0.97208[/tex]

Since, this distribution holds for all hours and days and one call is independent from another. Assuming that there are seven days in a week.

The probability that 120 or fewer calls are received for every day of this week is given by

[tex](0.97208)^7=0.8202[/tex]

Therefore, the probability that 120 or fewer calls are received for every day of this week is 0.8202

If each weighs 2/3 pound, how many potatoes are there in a 50-pound case?

Answers

The number of potatoes that are there in a 50-pound case are 75 potatoes.

In Mathematics and Euclidean Geometry, an expression simply refers to a mathematical equation which is typically used for illustrating the relationship that exist between two (2) or more variables and numerical quantities (number).

Since each potato weighs 2/3 pound, the number of potatoes that are there in a 50-pound case can be modeled by the following expression;

Number of potatoes = 50 ÷ 2/3

Number of potatoes = 50 × 3/2

Number of potatoes = 150/2

Number of potatoes = 75 potatoes.

When a person has a shower, the heated mirror does not go misty but stays clear, why? Read this excerpt from "Teens Migrating to Twitter" by Jennifer C. Kerr and answer the question that follows: Twitter is booming as a social media destination for teenagers who complain about too many adults and too much drama on Facebook, according to a new study published Tuesday about online behavior. It said teens are sharing more personal information about themselves even as they try to protect their online reputations. Teens told researchers there were too many adults on Facebook and too much sharing of teenage angst and inane details like what a friend ate for dinner. "The key is that there are fewer adults, fewer parents and just simply less complexity," said Amanda Lenhart of the Pew Research Center, one of the study's authors. "They still have their Facebook profiles, but they spend less time on them and move to places like Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr." In the poll, 94 percent of teens who are social media users have a profile on Facebook flat from the previous year. Twenty-six percent of teen social media users were on Twitter. That's more than double the figure in 2011 of 12 percent. "Facebook just really seems to have more drama," said 16-year-old Jaime Esquivel, a junior at C.D. Hylton High School in Woodbridge, Va., in an interview. Esquivel said he still checks his Facebook account daily but isn't using it as regularly as in the past. He sees teens complaining on Twitter, too, so Esquivel has been using the photo-sharing service Instagram more often, posting a couple of pictures each day and communicating with friends. Facebook purchased Instagram last year. In what may be a concern to parents, more than 60 percent of the teens with Twitter accounts said their tweets were public, meaning anyone on Twitter friend, foe or stranger can see what they write and publish. About one-quarter of kids said their tweets were private and 12 percent said they did not know whether their tweets were public or private. Source: Kerr, Jennifer C.
