Given,

[tex]x = {3}^{m} [/tex]

[tex]y = {3}^{n} [/tex]

Now

Consider

[tex] {3}^{4m - 1} [/tex]

We know that

[tex] \frac{ {a}^{p} }{ {a}^{q} } = {a}^{p- q} [/tex]

Using this we can write

[tex] {3}^{4m - 1} = \frac{ {3}^{4m} }{ {3}^{1} } [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{ {3}^{4m} }{3} [/tex]

We know that

Using this we get

The four small circles are identical. The total area of the small circles is 64pi square inches. What is the area of the larger circle? Write your answer in terms of pi .

Answers

Answer:

64 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

I did not ever do a problem like this, however this is the beauty of math, you can easily reverse engineer it.

Remember,

A = [tex]\pi r^2[/tex]

And if we have 4 circles that means the area of one circle is 1/4th the total

So,

[tex]A=\frac{\pi r^2}{4}[/tex]

Assuming that 16 is the radius squared times 4 lets ignore that squared for now because when going backwards we would get rid of the squared last as that was the first step.

[tex]A=\frac{16\pi }{4}=\frac{4\pi }{1}=4\pi[/tex]

Now lets get it back to  by square rooting the 4

[tex]A=\sqrt4\pi =2\pi[/tex]

The radius of one small circle is 2. Therefore; the diameter would be 4 for each. This in mind we know that two small circles diameters make up the radius of the larger circle we will multiply it by two again.

This gives us a final radius of the bigger circle of 8

Therefore, the area of the bigger circle is 8² which simplifies to 64

And a final answer of

64[tex]\pi[/tex] in²

Having trouble with this. Find the measure of the following arcs or angles.

Answers

The missing angle ∠APB, angle ∠CPD, and angle ∠EPA will be 65°, 77°, and 77° respectively.

What is an angle?

The angle is the distance between the intersecting lines or surfaces. The angle is also expressed in degrees. The angle is 360 degrees for one complete spin.

Linear angle - If the total of two angles is 180 degrees, they are said to be linear angles.

The diagram is given below.

The angle ∠BPC is 38° and the angle ∠DPE is 103°.

Then the missing angle will be

Angle ∠CPD and angle ∠DPE are linear angles. Then we have

∠CPD + ∠DPE = 180°

  ∠CPD + 103° = 180°

             ∠CPD = 77°

Similarly, angle ∠APB, angle ∠BPC, and angle ∠CPD are linear angles. Then we have

∠APB + ∠BPC + ∠CPD = 180°

         ∠APB + 38° + 77° = 180°

                           ∠APB = 65°

Then the complete circle makes 360°. Then we have

∠APB = 360° - 65° - 38° - 77° - 103°

∠APB = 77°

In parallelogram M NOP, PK = 5x and K N = n2 – 14.
What is PN?
A. 7
B. 36
C. 70
D. 100

Answers

Answer:

C.) 70

Step-by-step explanation:

The line PN is made up of PK and KN (PN = PK + KN). We also know that PK must equal KN (definition of a parallelogram). Therefore, you can set the value of both lines equal to each other, solve for x, then add them together to find PN.

PN = ?    
PK = 5x    
KN = n² - 14

PK = KN                                  <----- Both lines must equal one another

5x = n² - 14                             <----- Substitute values in

0 = n² - 5x - 14                        <----- Subtract 5x from both sides

0 = (x - 7)(x + 2)                      <----- Factor

x = 7    x = -2                          <----- Set both parentheses equal to 0

The value for "x" can be 7 and -2. However, it does not make sense to use a negative value in this situation. If we were to plug -2 into the equations, it would result in lines with a negative value. Therefore,  "x" must be 7. Next, plug this value in for "x" to find the numerical value of PK and KN.

PK = 5x  ----->  5(7) = 35

KN = n² - 14  ----->  (7)² - 14 = 35

The fact that these are equal makes sense. Now, add these two numbers to find the value of the overall line.

PK + KN = PN

35 + 35 = 70

Therefore, C.) 70 is the value of PN.

a) $49,000
b)$75,000
c)-49,000
d)$125,000

Answers

Answer:

The answer is a.) $49,000

Step-by-step explanation:

i just took the test!!

Given that  the company estimates the probability that the new can opener will be will be successful is 5/8. If it is successful, it would be able to make $200,000. The company would make nothing if it were unsuccessful. The development costs for the can opener are $76,000. The expected value is $49000.

What is expected value?

Expected value is the return you can expect for some kind of action.

The formula for the Expected Value is: ΣX.P(X) .

The amount earned by the company if the new can opener is successful = Revenue of the company - amount invested = $200,000 - $76,000 = $124,000

Probability that the new can opener will be successful = 5/8

Amount earned/ lost if the new can opener is not successful = $0

Probability that the new can opener will not be successful = 1 – 5/8 = 3/8

Expected value = amount earned if the new can opener is successful * Probability that the new can opener will be successful + Amount earned/ lost if the new can opener is not successful * Probability that the new can opener will not be successful

= 124,000 * 5/8 + 0 * 3/8

= $49000

A triangle has one angle that measures 50° and one angle that measures 40°.

What kind of triangle is it?

A.isosceles triangle
B.obtuse triangle
C.right triangle
D.equiangular triangle

Answers

Answer:

Right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

If the triangle has one angle that measures 50 degrees and another angle that measures 40 degrees, then the last angle must measure 90 degrees because the 3 angles of any triangle add up to 180, so we can set up the following:

180 - (50 + 40) = 90 degrees.

Any triangle that has a 90 degree angle is automatically a right triangle.

Hope this helps!

________________________________________________________

Option A

As we know, a triangle has 180° in total and has three angles.

⇒ Angle 1 + Angle 2 + Angle 3 = 180

We are given the following:

1st angle = 50°2nd angle = 40°

Let the 3rd angle be known as "x".

For the triangle to be classified as an isoceles triangle, two angles must be of same measure. Thus, there are two possibilities.

⇒ 50 + 40 + 40 = 180                                                   [Angle 2 = Angle 3]

-------------- Or -------------

⇒ 50 + 40 + 50 = 180                                                   [Angle 1 = Angle 3]

Possibility-1:

⇒ 50 + 40 + 40 = 180⇒ 50 + 80 = 180⇒ 130 = 180 (False)

Possibility-2:

⇒ 50 + 40 + 50 = 180    ⇒ 100 + 40 = 180   ⇒ 140 = 180 (False)

Therefore, the triangle cannot be an isoceles triangle.

________________________________________________________

Option B

As we know, a triangle has 180° in total and has three angles.

⇒ Angle 1 + Angle 2 + Angle 3 = 180

We are given the following:

1st angle = 50°2nd angle = 40°

Let the 3rd angle be known as "x".

For the triangle to be classified as an obtuse triangle, the third angle must be a measure greater than 90°. Therefore,

⇒ 50 + 40 + (x > 90) = 180⇒ 90 + (x > 90) = 180⇒ (x > 90) = 180 - 90⇒ (x > 90) = 90 (False)

This is false because 90 is not greater than 90. Therefore, the triangle is not an obtuse triangle.

________________________________________________________

Option C

As we know, a triangle has 180° in total and has three angles.

⇒ Angle 1 + Angle 2 + Angle 3 = 180

We are given the following:

1st angle = 50°2nd angle = 40°

Let the 3rd angle be known as "x".

For the triangle to be classified as a right triangle, the third angle must be a measure equivalent to 90°. Therefore,

⇒ 50 + 40 + 90 = 180⇒ 90 + 90 = 180⇒ 180 = 180 (True)

Therefore, this triangle is a right triangle.

________________________________________________________

Option D

As we know, a triangle has 180° in total and has three angles.

⇒ Angle 1 + Angle 2 + Angle 3 = 180

We are given the following:

1st angle = 50°2nd angle = 40°

Let the 3rd angle be known as "x".

For the triangle to be classified as an equiangular triangle, all the angles must be equivalent (60°). Therefore,

⇒ 1st angle = 2nd angle = 3rd angle⇒ 50 = 40 = 3rd angle (False, because 50 is not equivalent to 40)

Therefore, this triangle is not an equiangular triangle.

________________________________________________________

In conclusion, we can conclude that Option C (Right triangle) is correct.

If green is 6:19 then we can figure out the 2 possibilities for red to green.

Write the equation of a circle with a radius of length 10 and a center at (-4, -9).

Answer choices in attached image

Answers

Answer:

(x+4)² + (y+9)² = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the equation of a circle with a radius of length 10 and a center at (-4, -9).

general equation of circle : (x-h)² + (y-k)² = r²

where (h,k) is at center and r = radius

the center is at (-4,-9) so h = -4 and k = -9 and the circle has a radius of 10 so r = 10

so we have (x-h)² + (y-k)² = r²

h = -4 , k = -9  and r = 10

(x-(-4))² + (y-(-9))² = 10²

==> apply double negative sign rule and remove parenthesis for -(-4) and -(-9)

(x+4)² + (y+9)² = 10²

==> simplify exponent

(x+4)² + (y+9)² = 100

and we are done!

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Radius = 10 unitsCenter point = (h, k) = (-4, -9)

∴ x coordinate of center point: (h, k) ⇒ (-4, -9)

∴ y coordinate of center point: (h, k) ⇒ (-4, -9)

Equation of circle formula:

⇒ (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

Substitute the radius in the formula;

⇒ (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²⇒ (x - h)² + (y - k)² = (10)²

Substitute the x and y coordinate in the formula;

⇒ [x - (-4)]² + [y - (-9)]² = (10)²      [x coordinate (h): -4; y coordinate (k): -9]⇒ [x + 4]² + [y + 9]² = 100   (Option D)

Therefore, Option D is correct.

The ancient village of Skara Brae was discovered on the main island of Orkney, in Scotland. A massive storm in 1850 removed the sand that had covered it for thousands of years, exposing the remains of a small village.Skara Brae is a collection of eight round, stone houses that still have their stone furnishings and even some of the belongings of the inhabitants. The contents can tell us a great deal about how people lived in what is called the Neolithic era, or the last period of the Stone Age. Seven of the eight houses appear to have been family homes, with beds, dressers, fireplaces, and even simple toilets. The eighth house may have been a community workshop. It shows evidence of tool-making and the use of a large fire pit.How was Skara Brae built, and what, eventually, happened to it? Let's journey back in time through the evidence archaeologists have put together to understand the story of Skara Brae.The small, stone village was built some time around 3100 BCE. The first villagers dug down into an existing midden heap, or trash heap, to build the foundations of their homes. The garbage helped to insulate and protect the homes. They built their round huts with stones found locally, sticking each piece together with a paste made from ground-up waste and dung.After the houses were built, the villagers furnished their homes with stone beds, one on each side of the door, a stone dresser, and a fireplace, or hearth. The hearth kept the home warm and allowed the inhabitants to cook their food.The people of Skara Brae then farmed the surrounding lands, with evidence suggesting that they grew barley and other grains. They kept cows and pigs, and they fished in the ocean for a good part of their diet.As the number of people grew, the village expanded. Covered tunnels and alleyways were built to connect all the homes. This would have protected people traveling from one house to another from cold winter weather. Because of the connections between the houses and the shared workspace, archaeologists believe that Skara Brae was a close-knit community.The people made many things, including pottery, stone tools, and bone jewelry. Curiously, no evidence of weaponry was ever found, leading archaeologists to believe that Skara Brae was a peaceful place.Skara Brae was inhabited for approximately six hundred years, at which point, it was abandoned. Many theories exist about what happened to the people of Skara Brae. One of the most popular theories is that a terrible storm, similar to the one that would uncover the remains of the village in 1850, struck and drove the people from their homes. This is supported by the fact that so many possessions, including valuables like jewelry, were left behind.Which supporting detail supports the main idea that Skara Brae was an ancient village?A.
