13.) Find the area of the shaded region if the side length of the square is 8 in.
Help fast please!

Answers

Answer:

Area of shaded region = 6.88 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of shaded region

  When we subtract the area of the circle from the area of square, we get the area of the 4 corners. When we divide that by 2, we get the area of 2 corners(shaded).
[tex]\sf \boxed{\text{Area of the shaded region =$\dfrac{Area \ of \ square - area \ of \ circle}{2}$}}[/tex]

Square:

Area of square = side *side

                          = 8 * 8

                          = 64 square inches

Circle:

     diameter of the circle = side of the square

                                     d = 8 in

                                      r = 8/2 = 4 in

   [tex]\sf \text{Area of circle = \pi r^2}[/tex]  Area of circle = πr²

                            = 3.14 * 4 * 4

                            = 50.24 square inches

[tex]\sf \text{Area of shade region = \dfrac{64 - 50.24 }{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\sf \text{Area of the shade region = $\dfrac{64 - 50.24}{2}$}[/tex]

                                       [tex]\sf = \dfrac{13.76}{2}\\\\= 6.88 \ square inches[/tex]

If a cat falls out of a tree, it has a probability of 0.92 that it will land
on its feet. If a cat climbs a tree and falls out, then climbs the tree
and falls out again, what is the probability that it lands on its feet
both times?

Answers

The probability that the cat lands on its feet both times it falls out of a tree is 0.85

How to determine the probability?

The probability that the cat lands on its feet is given as:

P(Feet) = 0.92

The probability that it lands on its feet twice is calculated using:

P = P(Feet) * P(Feet)

So, we have:

P = 0.92 * 0.92

Evaluate

P = 0.85

Hence, the probability is 0.85

Population of fishes in a pond is directly proportional to amount of fishes present in the bond. if initially there are 5000 fishes in the pond. (a) write it in the form of differential equation. (b)find its general solution. (c) What will be the population after 6 months​

Answers

Using separation of variables for the differential equation, it is found that:

a) The differential equation is: [tex]\frac{dP}{dt} = kP[/tex]

b) The solution is: [tex]P(t) = 5000e^{kt}[/tex]

c) In 6 months, the population is: [tex]P(6) = 5000e^{6k}[/tex]

What is the differential equation?

Population of fishes in a pond is directly proportional to amount of fishes present in the bond, hence the differential equation is:

[tex]\frac{dP}{dt} = kP[/tex]

In which k is the growth rate.

What is separation of variables?

In separation of variables, we place all the factors of y on one side of the equation with dy, all the factors of x on the other side with dx, and integrate both sides.

Hence, for the differential equation in this problem:

[tex]\frac{dP}{dt} = kP[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dP}{P} = k dt[/tex]

[tex]\int \frac{dP}{P} = \int k dt[/tex]

[tex]\ln{P} = kt + P(0)[/tex]

[tex]P(t) = P(0)e^{kt}[/tex]

In which P(0) = 5000 is the initial population, hence:

[tex]P(t) = 5000e^{kt}[/tex]

In 6 months, the population is:

[tex]P(6) = 5000e^{6k}[/tex]

Yuki collects data on the average number of sunlight hours per month. She determines the regression model
y = -2.8sin(0.65x + 120.2) + 12.2 to represent the data, where x = 1 represents January.
Based on the regression model, what is the best estimate for the average number of sunlight hours she can expect
each day in June?
O9.4
9.9
O 11
O 15

Answers

The best estimate for the average number of sunlight hours she can expect each day in June is 9.9 hours

To answer the question, we need to know what a regression model is

What is a regression model?

A regression model is an equation or model that shows if there is a relationship between two variables.

Now, given that Yuki uses the regression model y = -2.8sin(0.65x + 120.2) + 12.2 to calculate the average number of sunlight hours per month, where x = 1 represents January.

Since we need to determine the average number of sunlight hours she can expect each day in June. Since June is the sixth month, we substitute x = 6 into the equation.

Average number of sunlight hours in June

So, y = -2.8sin(0.65x + 120.2) + 12.2

y = -2.8sin(0.65(6) + 120.2) + 12.2

y = -2.8sin(3.9 + 120.2) + 12.2

y = -2.8sin(124.1) + 12.2

y = -2.8(0.8281) + 12.2

y = -2.32 + 12.2

y = 9.88

y ≅ 9.9

So, the best estimate for the average number of sunlight hours she can expect each day in June is 9.9 hours

                First of all, let's identify what kind of sequence this is.

The two main types of sequences are:

[tex]\textsf{Arithmetic.}[/tex] This is where we add/subtract the same number to get to the following term.[tex]\textsf{Geometric.}[/tex] This is where we multiply/divide by the same number to get to the next term.

In the given sequence, we use multiplication, so we're dealing with a [tex]\textit{geometric sequence}[/tex].

In order to get to the next term, we multiply by -2.

So in order to find the next two terms of the sequence, we take the previous term and multiply it by -2 as follows:

16•(-2)=-32

We've found the 5th term of the geometic sequence.

Now let's find the 6th:

-32•(-2)=64 (the product of a negative and a negative results in a positive)

Summary of Final Answer:-

The next two terms in the sequence are -32 and 64.

There are more than one solution of the equation. The solution of the equation when solved for y are 5, 2.5-4.3301i, 2.5+4.3301i.

How to find one solution of equation?

If the equation is given a unique and single value of variable after solving, then the equation is said one solution equation. Such equation gives exactly one solution.

The three solution of an equation are-

One solution- When the graph provides the single value of the given variable, we get one or unique solution.No solution- When the graph of equations is equal than it provides the no solution. When the value, does not equate for the expression, then the expression has no solution.Infinite many solution-For the same line, the equation has the infinite many solution.

The expression for y is given as,

y³=125

Here, y is a real number. equate the equation to zero,

y³-125=0

y³-5³=0

Use the formula of difference of two perfect cube as,

(y-5)(y²+5y+25)=0

The values of y we get after solving the equation as,

y=5, 2.5-4.3301i, 2.5+4.3301i

In this house I chanced to find a volume of the works of Cornelius Agrippa. I opened it with apathy; the theory which he attempts to demonstrate and the wonderful facts which he relates soon changed this feeling into enthusiasm. A new light seemed to dawn upon my mind, and bounding with joy, I communicated my discovery to my father. My father looked carelessly at the title page of my book and said, "Ah! Cornelius Agrippa! My dear Victor, do not waste your time upon this; it is sad trash."If, instead of this remark, my father had taken the pains to explain to me that the principles of Agrippa had been entirely exploded and that a modern system of science had been introduced which possessed much greater powers than the ancient, because the powers of the latter were chimerical, while those of the former were real and practical, under such circumstances I should certainly have thrown Agrippa aside and have contented my imagination, warmed as it was, by returning with greater ardour to my former studies. It is even possible that the train of my ideas would never have received the fatal impulse that led to my ruin. But the cursory glance my father had taken of my volume by no means assured me that he was acquainted with its contents, and I continued to read with the greatest avidity. When I returned home my first care was to procure the whole works of this author, and afterwards of Paracelsus and Albertus Magnus. I read and studied the wild fancies of these writers with delight; they appeared to me treasures known to few besides myself. I have described myself as always having been imbued with a fervent longing to penetrate the secrets of nature. In spite of the intense labour and wonderful discoveries of modern philosophers, I always came from my studies discontented and unsatisfied. Sir Isaac Newton is said to have avowed that he felt like a child picking up shells beside the great and unexplored ocean of truth. Those of his successors in each branch of natural philosophy with whom I was acquainted appeared even to my boy's apprehensions as tyros engaged in the same pursuit.Under the guidance of my new preceptors I entered with the greatest diligence into the search of the philosopher's stone and the elixir of life; but the latter soon obtained my undivided attention. Wealth was an inferior object, but what glory would attend the discovery if I could banish disease from the human frame and render man invulnerable to any but a violent death!
