A dart hits the square dartboard shown below at a random point. Find the probability that the dart lands in the shaded circular region. Each side of the dartboard is 12 in, and the radius of the shaded region is 5 in. Use the value 3.14 for n. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answers

For this problem, we are given the dimensions of a dashboard. We need to determine the probability a dart will hit the shaded area.

To solve this problem, we need to calculate the area of the whole board (square) and the area of the shaded area (circle). Then we need to divide the area of the shaded circle by the entire board.

The area of a circle can be found as shown below:

[tex]A_{shaded}=3.14\cdot(5)^2=78.5\text{ square inches}[/tex]

The area of the square can be found as shown below:

[tex]A_{board}=12^2=144\text{ square inches}[/tex]

Now we need to find the probability of the shaded area, which can be done by dividing the area of the circle by the area of the board.

[tex]P(shaded)=\frac{78.5}{144}=0.55[/tex]

The probability is 0.55.

Find-:

The rate of boat in still water.

Explanation-:

Let

The speed of the boat in still water is"x"

The speed of the water is "y"

For upstream ( Against the current )

Speed of boat is:

[tex]=x-y[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ Distance }=60\text{ km} \\ \\ \text{ Time }=5\text{ hours} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Use the formula:

[tex]\text{ Speed}=\frac{\text{ Distance}}{\text{ Time}}[/tex]

For upstream speed is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ Speed}=\frac{\text{ Distance}}{\text{ Time}} \\ \\ x-y=\frac{60}{5} \\ \\ x-y=12..............(1) \end{gathered}[/tex]

For downstream,

[tex]\text{ Speed}=x+y[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ Distance}=60\text{ km} \\ \\ \text{ Time}=3\text{ hours} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Use the formula of distance

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ Speed}=\frac{\text{ Distance}}{\text{ Time}} \\ \\ x+y=\frac{60}{3} \\ \\ x+y=20 \\ \\ y=20-x................(2) \end{gathered}[/tex]

From eq(2) put the value of "y" in eq(1) then the value is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x-y=12...........(1) \\ \\ y=20-x...............(2) \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} x-y=12 \\ \\ x-(20-x)=12 \\ \\ x-20+x=12 \\ \\ 2x-20=12 \\ \\ 2x=12+20 \\ \\ 2x=32 \\ \\ x=\frac{32}{2} \\ \\ x=16 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Business that offers repayment plan for purchases are required by law to disclose the interest rate but that doesn’t mean they go out of their way to let you know what it is you have to read all the paperwork find the interest rate for the following purchaseTo finance a new laptop Emily is offered a five year payment plan with low monthly payments of $31 and50 Cent the cost of the laptop is $884.43 including tax round to the decimal place if necessary

Answers

Answer:

The number of years for the repayment is

[tex]t=5years[/tex]

The amount to be repaid back monthly is

[tex]\text{ \$31.50}[/tex]

The cost of the laptop given is

[tex]\text{ P=\$884.43}[/tex]

Step 1:

Calculate the total amount of money to be repaid after 5 years

[tex]\begin{gathered} Amount\text{ repayable=monthly payments}\times number\text{ of years}\times12 \\ Amount\text{ repayable=31.50}\times5\times12 \\ Amount\text{ repayable=1890} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Step 2:

Calculate the interest on the laptop

[tex]\begin{gathered} interest=Amount\text{ repayable-cost of the laptop} \\ interest=1890-884.43 \\ interest=1005.57 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Step 3:

To calculate the interest rate, we will use the formula below

[tex]\begin{gathered} I=\frac{PRT}{100} \\ \frac{100I}{PT}=\frac{PRT}{PT} \\ R=\frac{100I}{PT} \\ T=5,P=884.43,I=1005.57 \end{gathered}[/tex]

By substituting the values, we will have

[tex]\begin{gathered} R=\frac{100I}{PT} \\ R=\frac{100\times1005.57}{884.43\times5} \\ R=\frac{100557}{4422.15} \\ R=22.7\% \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence,

The interest rate will be

You are designing a rectangda garden for the city park. The gardien is to have an area of 250 S feet, but you want to theamount of fending that you need to surround the garden. One length of the garden will not have a fence How many fees of lenong to you needto Surround the garden?

Answers

Consider the following picture

This is a sketch of the rectangular garden. We are given that the area of this rectangle is 200. Recall that the area of a rectangle is base * height. IN this case, we have the equation

[tex]\times\cdot\text{ y = 200}[/tex]

Now, note that we want to minimize the amount of fence we use. This means, that we want to minimize the perimIn this case we are told that we are not putting fence on one side of the rectangle. Since we want the less amount of fence to be used, and since y is the lenght of the longest side, we will assume that we are not fencing one of the y sides. So the perimeter of this rectangle is sum of the three remaining sides. Hence the function we want to minimize is

[tex]y\text{ + 2x }[/tex]

From the first equation, we can replace the value of y with 200/x. So the function we want to minimize is

[tex]\frac{200}{x}+2x[/tex]

Since we want to find the minimum of this function, we proceed by calculating its' derivative, make it equal to zero and the find the value of x that makes the equation true.

So, recall that the derivative of a term x^n is n x ^(n-1). In the case of 1/x, the value of n is n=-1. Also, recall that the derivative of a sum is the sum of the derivatives. So, applying this rule we get that the derivative of the function is

[tex]200(-1)x^{^{\text{ -2}}}+2x^0=2\text{ - }\frac{200}{x^2}[/tex]

No, we will make it equal to 0 and find the value of x that makes the equation true. So we get the equation

[tex]2\text{ - }\frac{200}{x^2}\text{ = 0 = }\frac{2x^2\text{ -200}}{x^2}[/tex]

Since we have an equation of the form a/b =0 It must happen that a is 0. Then, we have the equation

[tex]2x^2\text{ -200 =0}[/tex]

If we add 200 on both side, we get

[tex]2x^2\text{ = 200}[/tex]

If we divide on both sides by 2, we get

[tex]\times^2\text{ = 100}[/tex]

By taking the square root on both sides we get

[tex]\text{ x = 10 or x = -10}[/tex]

Since x is a lenght, it should be positive. So we must have x = 10.

In this case, by replacing in the expression of y, we get that y = 200/10 = 20.

So we will need 2*10 + 20 = 40 feets long to surround the garden.

Whiteout graphing the function, describe what the graph would look like if b were 8.5

Answers

We have the function y=x+b.

This is a line with b as y-intercept.

When b gets larger, that graph moves parallel and up in the vertical axis.

That is because b is like a "floor" level when x=0, and, as the slope of the line stays the same, the lines stays parallel.

As b becomes negative, the graph goes in the opposite direction (down in the vertical axis).

The lines stays parallel, because the slope does not change.

At this point, we have to have all our fractions with the same denominator to add them up. To do so, let's find the LCM (Least Common Multiple) between our different denominators (In this case, 2 and 4)

The LCM is 4. Now, we need to find a way for all our fractions to have 4 as a denominator. Notice that we can do so by multiplying both 3/2 by 2 (both in the numerator and denominator), as following:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{2}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{3}{2}\rightarrow\frac{2\cdot3}{2\cdot2}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2\cdot3}{2\cdot2} \\ \\ \rightarrow\frac{6}{4}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{6}{4} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now, we can add them up:
