Answer an essay on nothing
Step-by-step explanation:
In philosophy there is a lot of emphasis on what exists. We call this ontology, which means, the study of being. What is less often examined is what does not exist.
It is understandable that we focus on what exists, as its effects are perhaps more visible. However, gaps or non-existence can also quite clearly have an impact on us in a number of ways. After all, death, often dreaded and feared, is merely the lack of existence in this world (unless you believe in ghosts). We are affected also by living people who are not there, objects that are not in our lives, and knowledge we never grasp.
Upon further contemplation, this seems quite odd and raises many questions. How can things that do not exist have such bearing upon our lives? Does nothing have a type of existence all of its own? And how do we start our inquiry into things we can’t interact with directly because they’re not there? When one opens a box, and exclaims “There is nothing inside it!”, is that different from a real emptiness or nothingness? Why is nothingness such a hard concept for philosophy to conceptualize?
Let us delve into our proposed box, and think inside it a little. When someone opens an empty box, they do not literally find it devoid of any sort of being at all, since there is still air, light, and possibly dust present. So the box is not truly empty. Rather, the word ‘empty’ here is used in conjunction with a prior assumption. Boxes were meant to hold things, not to just exist on their own. Inside they might have a present; an old family relic; a pizza; or maybe even another box. Since boxes have this purpose of containing things ascribed to them, there is always an expectation there will be something in a box. Therefore, this situation of nothingness arises from our expectations, or from our being accustomed. The same is true of statements such as “There is no one on this chair.” But if someone said, “There is no one on this blender”, they might get some odd looks. This is because a chair is understood as something that holds people, whereas a blender most likely not.
The same effect of expectation and corresponding absence arises with death. We do not often mourn people we only might have met; but we do mourn those we have known. This pain stems from expecting a presence and having none. Even people who have not experienced the presence of someone themselves can still feel their absence due to an expectation being confounded. Children who lose one or both of their parents early in life often feel that lack of being through the influence of the culturally usual idea of a family. Just as we have cultural notions about the box or chair, there is a standard idea of a nuclear family, containing two parents, and an absence can be noted even by those who have never known their parents.
This first type of nothingness I call ‘perceptive nothingness’. This nothingness is a negation of expectation: expecting something and being denied that expectation by reality. It is constructed by the individual human mind, frequently through comparison with a socially constructed concept.
Pure nothingness, on the other hand, does not contain anything at all: no air, no light, no dust. We cannot experience it with our senses, but we can conceive it with the mind. Possibly, this sort of absolute nothing might have existed before our universe sprang into being. Or can something not arise from nothing? In which case, pure nothing can never have existed.
If we can for a moment talk in terms of a place devoid of all being, this would contain nothing in its pure form. But that raises the question, Can a space contain nothing; or, if there is space, is that not a form of existence in itself?
This question brings to mind what’s so baffling about nothing: it cannot exist. If nothing existed, it would be something. So nothing, by definition, is not able to ‘be’.
Is absolute nothing possible, then? Perhaps not. Perhaps for example we need something to define nothing; and if there is something, then there is not absolutely nothing. What’s more, if there were truly nothing, it would be impossible to define it. The world would not be conscious of this nothingness. Only because there is a world filled with Being can we imagine a dull and empty one. Nothingness arises from Somethingness, then: without being to compare it to, nothingness has no existence. Once again, pure nothingness has shown itself to be negation.

Answer:
552
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm almost certain this is correct. Only one step is rounded.
Answer: 942 - 225*sqrt(3)
This is roughly equivalent to 552.29
The unit for the area is in square cm, or cm^2.
The two area values above are based on pi = 3.14, so they are approximations.
============================================================
Explanation:
The radius of the circle is r = 30 because OA = 30.
The full circle has area A = pi*r^2 = 3.14*30^2 = 2826 cm^2 approximately
However, we only want 120/360 = 1/3 of this full area to get the area of the pizza slice. So the area of the pizza slice is approximately (1/3)*2826 = 942 cm^2
This is not the final answer, but helps get us there.
What we just calculated was the approximate area of the entire figure: the yellow area plus the white triangle.
If we can find the area of the white triangle, and subtract it off, then we'll find just the area of the yellow region only.
-----------------------
The SAS (side angle side) area formula for a triangle is
Area = 0.5*p*q*sin(R)
where p,q are the sides and angle R is between those sides.
Here we have p = q = 30, which are sides OA and OB, and we have R = 120 degrees as the central angle.
So the area of triangle AOB is...
Area = 0.5*p*q*sin(R)
Area = 0.5*30*30*sin(120)
Area = 450*sqrt(3)/2
Area = 225*sqrt(3)
This value is exact.
-----------------------
The area of the yellow region is therefore
(area of full figure) - (area of triangle)
(942) - (225*sqrt(3))
942 - 225*sqrt(3)
This is approximate because we used pi = 3.14 as an approximation earlier.
You could then use your calculator to say
942 - 225*sqrt(3) = 552.288568
This rounds to 552.29

Which of the following scores has the better relative position ( as measured by the z score) a. A score of 53 on a test for which the sample mean is 50. b. A score of 230 on a test for which the sample mean is 200. c. A score of 480 on a test for which the sample mean is 400. d. Cannot be determined with the information provided.
Answer:
d. Cannot be determined with the information provided.
Step-by-step explanation:
Z-score:
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Finding the better relative position:
The score with the better relative position is the one with a higher z-score.
To find the z-score, the mean and the standard deviation is needed, and in this question, the standard deviation is not given, and thus, the correct answer is given by option d.

Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say that r is the radius of the large circle or the diameter of the small circle.
Area of the big circle is [tex]\pi r^{2}[/tex] .
Area of the small circle is [tex]\pi \frac{r}{2} ^{2} = \pi \frac{r^{2}}{4}[/tex].
The ratio of these 2 circles is 1/4 (calculation in the comments).
So the shaded part represent 1 - 1/4 = 3/4.

The mean score of 7 boys and 16 girls is 49. If the scores of the boys are 42,85,47,29,58,54and 72, find the mean score of the girls
Answer:
[tex]\bar x_{girls} = 46.25[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Boys = 7\\Girls = 16[/tex]
[tex]\bar x = 49[/tex]
Required
Mean of girls
The mean of the boys and girls is calculated as:
[tex]\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]\bar x = \frac{\sum(boys) + \sum(girls)}{boys + girls}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]49= \frac{42+85+47+29+58+54+ 72 + \sum(girls)}{7 + 16}[/tex]
[tex]49= \frac{387 + \sum(girls)}{23}[/tex]
Cross multiply
[tex]23 * 49=387 + \sum(girls)[/tex]
[tex]1127=387 + \sum(girls)[/tex]
Subtract by 387
[tex]1127-387 = \sum(girls)[/tex]
[tex]740= \sum(girls)[/tex]
[tex]\sum(girls) = 740[/tex]
The mean of girls is:
[tex]\bar x_{girls} = \frac{\sum(girls)}{girls}[/tex]
[tex]\bar x_{girls} = \frac{740}{16}[/tex]
[tex]\bar x_{girls} = 46.25[/tex]

A large container is partially filled with n liters of water. Ito adds 10 liters of water to the container, making it 60% full. If Ignacio adds 6 more liters of water, the container will be 75% full.
What is the value of n?
Answer:
[tex]14\text{ liters}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total amount of water the container can hold be [tex]t[/tex]. Currently, there are [tex]n[/tex] liters in the container. If Ito adds 10 liters of water, the container will be 60% full. We can express this statement in the following mathematical equation:
[tex]n+10=0.6t[/tex]
Next, we're given that if we add 6 more liters to this, the container will be 75% full.
Therefore, we have:
[tex]n+10+6=0.75t,\\n+16=0.75t[/tex]
This is a system of equations:
[tex]\begin{cases}n+10=0.6t,\\ n+16=0.75t\end{cases}[/tex]
Subtract both equations to conveniently get rid of [tex]n[/tex]:
[tex]10-16=0.6t-0.75t,[/tex]
Combine like terms:
[tex]-6=-0.15t[/tex]
Divide both sides by -0.15:
[tex]t=\frac{-6}{-0.15}=40[/tex]
Now substitute [tex]t=40[/tex] into any equation (I'll choose the first):
[tex]n+10=0.6(40),\\n+10=24[/tex]
Subtract 10 from both sides:
[tex]n=24-10=\boxed{14\text{ liters}}[/tex]

Choose the function that has two different zeros.
A.j(x) = x2 + 6x + 9
B.k(x) = x2 – 8x + 16
C.h(x) = x2 + 2x + 1
D.g(x) = x2 – 64
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
The first 3 are perfect squares and have 2 equal zeros
j(x) = x² + 6x + 9 = (x + 3)² with zeros x = - 3 , multiplicity of 2
k(x) = x² - 8x + 16 = (x - 4)² with zeros x = 4 , multiplicity of 2
h(x) = x² + 2x + 1 = (x + 1)² with zeros x = - 1 , multiplicity of 2
g(x)
x² - 64 is a difference of squares
(x - 8)(x + 8) = 0
with zeros x = - 8, x = 8 ← 2 different zeros
Find the slope of the line that passes through the following points: (0, -3), (-6,8)
Answer:
-11/6
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope, we use the formula
m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= ( 8- -3)/( -6 - 0)
= (8+3)/(-6-0)
= 11 / -6
= -11/6
A square base of a pyramid has dimensions 5 yards by 5 yards. The height of one of the triangular faces is 12 yards. How can you find the surface area of the pyramid?
A square pyramid has 4 triangles and the square base.
Calculate the area of one triangle, multiply that by 4 then add the area of the base.
Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height = 1/2 x 5 x 12 = 30 square yards.
30 x 4 = 120 square yards
Area of base = 5 x 5 = 25 square yards
Total = 120 + 25 = 145 square yards.

Solve by taking the square root of both sides: (x+3)^2 - 169 = 0
Answer:
x = 10 x = -16
Step-by-step explanation:
(x+3)^2 - 169 = 0
Add 169 to each side
(x+3)^2 - 169+169 = 0+169
(x+3)^2 =169
Take the square root of each side
sqrt((x+3)^2) =sqrt(169)
x+3 =±13
x+3 = 13 x+3 = -13
Subtract 3 from each side
x+3-3 = 13-3 x+3-3 = -13
x = 10 x = -16
