My four-year-old son loves playing out in the garden. His favourite activity is digging up and inspecting creepy crawlies, especially snails. If he is patient enough, after the initial shock of being uprooted, they will emerge cautiously from the safety of their shells and start to glide over his little hands leaving viscid trails of mucus. Eventually, when he tires of them, he will discard them, somewhat callously, in the compost heap or on the woodpile behind the shed. Late last September, after a particularly busy session in which he had unearthed and disposed of five or six large specimens, he came to me as I was sawing up wood for the fire and asked ‘Daddy, how many snails is [sic] there in the garden?’ A deceptively simple question for which I had no good answer. It could have been 100 or it could have been 1000. To be quite honest, he would not have comprehended the difference. Nevertheless, his question piqued an interest in me. How could we figure this out together? We decided to conduct an experiment. The next weekend, on Saturday morning, we went out to collect snails. After ten minutes, we had a total of 23 of the gastropods. I took a sharpie from my back pocket and proceeded to place a subtle cross on the back of each one. Once they were all marked up, we tipped up the bucket and released the snails back into the garden. A week later we went back out for another round. This time, our ten-minute scavenge brought us just 18 snails. When we inspected them closely we found that three of them had the cross on their shells, while the other 15 were unblemished. This was all the information we needed to make the calculation. What is the total amount of snails

Answer:

y = -2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form of line is

y = mx + c

where

m is the slope and c is the y intercept

________________________________________

Given that line

y = −2x − 4

comparing it with y = mx + c

m = -2 and c = -4

Thus, slope of this line is -2

we also know that when two lines are parallel then their slopes are same

thus, slope of required line will be m = -2

___________________________________________

now let the equation of line passing through (-1,-1) be

y = mx + c

we have found m to be -2

using this in above equation we have

y = -2x + c

since (-1,-1) passes through the above line using x = -1 and y = -1

we have

-1 = -2*-1 + c

-1 = 2 + c

c = -1 - 2 = -3

using c = -3 in y = -2x + c

we have

equation of line as

y = -2x - 3 in slope intercept form.

The answer to the equation is [tex]n=5[/tex]

First, you must add 0.8n on both sides.

[tex]0.6n+7=10[/tex]

Then, subtract 7 from both sides.

[tex]0.6n=3[/tex]

Finally, divide both sides by 0.6

[tex]n=5[/tex]

Answer:

p > -3

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an alternating p-series.  It is absolutely convergent if│an│converges.  1 / nᵖ⁺³ converges if the exponent is greater than 1.

p + 3 > 1

p > -2

The series is conditionally convergent if │an│diverges.  1 / nᵖ⁺³ diverges if the exponent is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 1.

0 < p + 3 ≤ 1

-3 < p ≤ -2

Combining these two, we get p > -3.

Answer:

The equations for each situation are

A = 36 + 6t

B = 21 + 9t

After 3 years, Tree A is taller.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Tree A was 36 inches tall and Tree B was 21 inches tall at the time of planting; and

Tree A grew by 6 inches per year and Tree B grew by 9 inches per  year after planting.

For Tree A,

Given a period of t years after planting, the height would have increased by 6t

∴ A = 36 + 6t

For Tree B,

Given a period of t years after planting, the height would have increased by 9t

∴ B = 21 + 9t

To determine, which tree is taller after 3 years,

t = 3

For Tree A

A = 36 + 6t

A = 36 + 6(3)

A = 36 + 18

A = 54 inches

For Tree B

B = 21 + 9t

B = 21 + 9(3)

B = 21 + 27

B = 48 inches

Hence, After 3 years, Tree A is taller.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

C(x)=12x+114

R(x)=6x.

The company will start to run on profit just when revenue equals the production cost, that is

C(x)=R(x)

equating the two expressions we have

12x+114=6x

solving for x we have

12x-6x+114=0

6x+114=0

6x=-114

x=-114/6

x=-19

Hence the company will start to run on proft when they start to produce above 19 items

Profit is the difference between the revenue and cost functions

A production greater than 19 will turn a profit

From the question, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{R(x) = 6x}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{C(x) = 12x + 114}[/tex]

So, the profit function is:

[tex]\mathbf{P(x) = R(x) - C(x)}[/tex]

Substitute known values

[tex]\mathbf{P(x) = 6x - 12x - 114}\\[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{P(x) = - 6x - 114}[/tex]

Equate to 0

[tex]\mathbf{- 6x - 114 = 0}[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]\mathbf{- 6x= 114}[/tex]

Divide both sides by -6

[tex]\mathbf{x= -19}[/tex]

The above equation means that: A production greater than 19 will turn a profit

Answer: C. cos(Pi) + isin(Pi)

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of subtraction of two given complex numbers z₁ and z₂ is cos(π) + isin(π).

A complex number is an element of a number system that includes real numbers and a specific element labeled i sometimes known as the imaginary unit, and which obeys the equation i² = 1. Furthermore, every complex number can be written as a + bi, where a and b are both real values.

We know that cos(π - x) = - cosx, sin(π - x) = sinx, cos(π/4) = 1/√2 = sin(π/4), cos(π/2) = 0, sin(π/2) = 1, cos(π) = - 1, sin(π) = 0.

Given that z₁ = √2[cos(3π/4) + isin(3π/4)] = √2[cos(π - π/4) + sin(π - π/4)] = √2[- cos(π/4) + sin(π/4)] = √2[- 1/√2 + 1/√2] = √2[0] = 0

and z₂ = cos(π/2) + isin(π/2) = 0 + i × 1 = 1

Now, z₁ - z₂ = 0 - 1 = - 1 = - 1 + i × 0 = cos(π) + isin(π)

Therefore, the value of subtraction of two given complex numbers z₁ and z₂ is cos(π) + isin(π).

Answer:

The answer is "non-real solution: "i-3 and -i-3" and real solution is -2".

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given equation there is some mistype error so, its correct equation can be defined as follows:

Given value:

[tex]\bold{ f(x) = x^3+ 8x^2 +22x +20}[/tex]

use hit and trial method we put x value are -2:

 [tex]f(-2) = (-2)^3+ 8(-2)^2 +22(-2) +20\\\\[/tex]

            [tex]= -8 + 8 \times 4 +22 \times -2 +20\\\\= -8 + 32 -44 +20\\\\= -52 + 52\\\\=0[/tex]

So, the real solution to the equation is "-2".

In the above solution, we calculate the f(x) =-2 is its real solution. so, the calculation for non-real solution:

divide the value [tex]x^3+8x^2+ 22x +20[/tex] by ([tex]x+2[/tex]):

Quotient: [tex]x^2+6x+10[/tex]

Answer:

The probability that any given family who is selected has two or more children at home is 85%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The information provided is as follows:

Number of Children        Probability

             1                            0.15

             2                            0.65

          > 3                            0.20

Compute the probability that any given family who is selected has two or more children at home as follows:

P (At least 2 Children) = P (2 children) + P (More than 3 children)

                                   = 0.65 + 0.20

                                   = 0.85

Thus, the probability that any given family who is selected has two or more children at home is 85%.

Answer: The trip should take 3.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation: To find the time, divide the distance by the rate. In this case, 210/60 = 3.5.

Answer:

3.5 hours or specifically, 3 hours and 30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the car can be driven 60 miles per hour. The goal is 210 miles. If you divide 210 miles by 60, the result is 3.5. The whole number 3 in 3.5 will represent the hours taken which means 3 hours. The 0.5 will also represent the minutes. 0.5 = 1/2, 1/2 of an hour = 30 minutes.
