1. When you go to a party or other gathering you shake hands with many people. The following is a formula that will predict how many hand shakes take place if every person shakes hands with every other person only once.
s = n(n - 1)/ 2
where S is the total number of hand shakes and n is the total number of people at the party.
(a) Express this formula in words.
(b) How many hand shakes will occur if there are 12 people present?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

s = 66

Step-by-step explanation:

S = number of shakes

N = number of people

(N-1) = takes yourself out of the equation

÷ 2 = shaking hands with everyother person

so when 12 people present:

s = 12(12-1) /2

s = 12(11) /2

s = 132 /2

s = 66

Answer 2

Answer:

This is called an exponential function, values are inserted to variables where applicable, aka, n = total number of people at the party, if there are only 12 people, (b:) insert into function where 'n' appears: (12(12-1)/2 = 66. This means 66 handshakes will occur if there are 12 people present.

The number of bats in a colony is growing exponentially. After 4 years, there were 2025 bats. After 6
years, there were 18225 bats.
If the colony continues to grow at the same rate, how many bats are expected to be in the colony after
12 years? Do not include units in your answer.

Answers

Answer:

there would be around 40,000 colony of bats

There to be about 13,286,025 bats in the colony after 12 years if the growth rate remains constant.

What is Exponential Growth?

An exponential function's curve is created by a pattern of data called exponential growth, which exhibits higher increases over time.

y = a(1+r)ˣ,

where a is the initial population and r is the rate in decimals and x is the time period.

To solve this problem, we need to use the formula for exponential growth:

N = N₀ (1 + r)ˣ

where:

N is the final number of bats after x years

N₀ is the initial number of bats

r is the annual growth rate (expressed as a decimal)

x is the number of years.

We can use the information given in the problem to find the values of N0, r, and t for the first two time periods:

For the first 4 years:

2025 = N₀(1 + r)⁴

For the next 2 years (6 years in total):

18225 = N₀ (1 + r)⁶

To solve for N₀ and r, we can divide the second equation by the first equation:

18225/2025 = (N₀ (1 + r)⁶) / (N₀(1 + r)⁴)

9 = (1 + r)²

Taking the square root of both sides, we get:

1 + r = 3

r = 2 (since r is expressed as a decimal)

Now that we know r, we can use either of the two original equations to find N₀. Let's use the first equation:

2025 = N₀(1 + 2)⁴

2025 = N₀(81)

N₀ = 25

So the initial number of bats was 25, and the annual growth rate is 200% (or 2 as a decimal).

Now we can use the formula to find the number of bats after 12 years:

N = 25 (1 + 2)¹²

N = 25 (531441)

N = 13,286,025

Therefore, we can expect there to be about 13,286,025 bats in the colony after 12 years if the growth rate remains constant.

Alan bought 120 pens at the cost of €2 per pen. He sold 72 of them for €2.50 per pen and the remaining at the price of €2 per pen. Find his percentage profit or loss.

Answers

Answer:

His profit was 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

120*2€ = 240€

72*2.5€ = 180€

120-72 = 48

48*2€ = 96€

And now a simple proportion:

240€ = 100%

276€ = x

x = (276*100)/240 %

x = 115%

115%-100% = 15%

His profit was 15%

The base of S is a circular disk with radius r. Parallel cross-sections perpendicular to the base are squares.

and the vertical distance between them - i.e. the side length of each cross section - is

A random sample of banana tree yields has a sample mean of x=67 banana and sample standard deviation of s= 2 bananas. Use the empirical rule to estimate the percentage of banana yields that are less than 61 bananas. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answers

Using empirical rule, 99.85% of the data falls above 61

Data;

Mean = 67standard deviation = 3

Empirical Rule

Using empirical rule, it states that 68% of data is within 1 standard deviation from the mean mean± standard deviation 95% of data falls within 2 standard deviations from the mean mean± 2* standard deviation and 99.7% of data falls within 3 standard deviations from the mean mean± 3sd . So we can say that 0.15% of data are below mean minus 3 * standard deviation and 0.15% of data are above mean+3sd. In this case, the mean is 67 , SD = 3.

And if 61 is 3×SD below mean

Subtract 3 from both sides

|4x - 9| = 5

Remove the absolute bracket

4x - 9 = 5 or 4x - 9 = -5

Add 9 to both sides

A rectangle made of square tiles measures 10 tiles long and 8 tiles wide.
What is the width of a similar rectangle whose length is 15 tiles?​

Answers

Answer:

12 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

The rectangle with dimensions "10 tiles and 8 tiles" be known as "s".The rectangle with dimension "15 tiles" be known as "l"

Since the length of the larger rectangle is similar to the smaller rectangle, we can compare the dimensions of both rectangles by forming a ratio.

[tex]\text{(L of "s")}:\text{(B of "s")}= \text{(L of "l")}: \text{(B of "l")}[/tex]

Let,

⇒ Length of "s" be L₁⇒ Breadth of "s" be B₁⇒ Length of "l" be L₂⇒ Breadth of "l" be B₂

[tex]\implies \text{L}_{1} }:\text{B}_{1} = \text{L}_{2} : \text{B}_{2}[/tex]

We are already given:

Length of "s"     =   L₁   =   10 tilesBreadth of "s"   =   B₁   =   8 tilesLength of "L"    =   L₂   =   15 tiles

[tex]\implies 10:8 = 15 : \text{B}_{2}[/tex]

To simplify the ratio, multiply the extremes together and take them on one side. Then, multiply the middles together and take them on the other side.

[tex]\implies 10 (\text{B}_{2}) = 15(8)[/tex]

Divide 10 both sides to obtain the width of the larger rectangle.

[tex]\implies \dfrac{10 (\text{B}_{2}) }{10} = \dfrac{15(8)}{10}[/tex]

Simplify the equation as necessary.

[tex]\implies \text{B}_{2} = 12[/tex]

Thus, the width of the larger rectangle is 12 tiles.
