Given,
The principal amount is $7900.
The time period is 8 years.
The amount of the investment is double of the principal.
Required:
The money would be in the account after 5 years, to the nearest dollar.
The Amount is calculated as:
[tex]\begin{gathered} Amount\text{ = }\frac{Principal\times rate\times time}{100}+principal \\ Amount=(\frac{\text{rate}\times\text{t}\imaginaryI\text{me}}{\text{100}}\text{+1\rparen pr}\imaginaryI\text{nc}\imaginaryI\text{pal} \end{gathered}[/tex]Substituting the value in the above formula then,

To determine the total area of a Pyramid you have to use the following formula:
[tex]TA=A_{\text{base}}+\frac{1}{2}(P_{\text{base}}\cdot s)[/tex]Where
A_base refers to the area of the base, in this case, it would be the area of the hexagon
P_base refers to the perimeter of the base, in this case, the perimeter of the hexagon
s indicates the slant height of the pyramid
Before you can determine the total area of the pyramid, you have to calculate the area and perimeter of the regular hexagon.
The perimeter of the hexagon
To determine the perimeter of any shape, you have to add the length of its sides, in this case, the hexagon is regular which means that all sides are equal, so the perimeter is equal to 6 times the side length (a):
For a=4
[tex]\begin{gathered} P_{\text{base}}=6a \\ P_{\text{base}}=6\cdot4 \\ P_{\text{base}}=24\text{units} \end{gathered}[/tex]The area of the hexagon
To determine this area you have to use the following formula:
[tex]A_{\text{base}}=\frac{3\sqrt[]{3}a^2}{2}[/tex]Where "a" represents the side length
For a=4, the area of the base is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} A_{\text{base}}=\frac{3\sqrt[]{3\cdot}4^2}{2} \\ A_{\text{base}}=\frac{3\sqrt[]{3}\cdot16}{2} \\ A_{\text{base}}=24\sqrt[]{3}\text{units}^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Total area of the pyramid
Now that we determined the area and perimeter of the base, given that the slant height of the pyramid is s=6, we can calculate the total area as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} TA=A_{\text{base}}+\frac{1}{2}(P_{\text{base}}\cdot s) \\ TA=24\sqrt[]{3}+\frac{1}{2}(24\cdot6) \\ TA=24\sqrt[]{3}+\frac{1}{2}\cdot144 \\ TA=24\sqrt[]{3}+72 \end{gathered}[/tex]The total area of the hexagonal pyramid is 72+24√3 units²

Polynomials are algebraic expressions with several terms, in which each of them is the mutiplication of some constant by some variable raised to some non negative intger. Polynomials have applications in many problems in the real world, let's discuss some of them.
Polynomials to determine how much we need to pay.
Think of this situation: You go shopping and you would like to buy some jeans, some shirts and some shoes. Suppose the price tag is nowhere around but you'd like to take the things you choose with you so you have the correct size on the way out. Since you don't know the prices yet you can asign a variable to the price of each time you choose, let's say x for the jeans, y fot the shirst and z for the shoes. Let's assume you picked 4 jeans, 5 shirst and 2 pairs of shoes, then the cost for all of them will be represented by the polynomial:
[tex]4x+5y+2z[/tex]Once you know the price of each item you can plug them in the expression to determine the total price of them.
Polynomials in physics.
In physics the polynomials are a common ocurrence, for example, the distance and object falls from a certaing height h is given by the equation:
[tex]y=h-\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]Notice how the right side of the equation is a polynomial since the height h and the accelaration a are constants; then the expression that determines the distance the object has fallen is a polynomial of second degree in t.
Another example in physics of a polynomial is the total mechanical energy of an object with mass m, this is given by the polynomial:
[tex]mgh+\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]Since the mass of the object m, and the acceleration of the gravity g are constants this is a polynomial of the variables h (the height of the object) and the velocity v. Once we know this we can determine the total mechanical energy of the object and this will helps us to predict the future motion given some conditions.
Polynomials in economics.
Usually we can express the cost of producing an amount x of certain item with a polynomial on x. Also we can express the revenue also as a polynomial on x.

Answers
In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.
Step 01:
Data:
water drinking habits:
mean = 62 ounces
standard deviation = 5.2 ounces
Step 02:
normally distribution:
95% ===> 2 SD
(62 + 5.2 + 5.2) ounces = 72.4 ounces ==> + 2 SD
(62 - 5.2 - 5.2) ounces = 51.6 ounces ==> - 2 SD
The answer is:
51.6 ounces - 72.4 ounces

Can I Plss get some help on my homework I got stuck es

Hello there. To solve this question, we'll have to remember some properties about mean and standard deviation.
Given the table with the calories of each pizza type.
We have to determine why the standard deviation is 87.6 and understand what does it mean in context.
First, the mean of the values were calculated in question 8, that is the arithmetic mean of the values.
Adding all calories and dividing it by the number of values, we get
[tex]\dfrac{168+181+165+177+321+380+309+313+157}{9}=\frac{2171}{9}\approx241.2[/tex]Okay. Now, we find the variance of the set by using the formula:
[tex]Var(x)=\sum_{i=1}^n\dfrac{(x_i-\mu)^2}{n}[/tex]In which we get
[tex]Var(x)=\dfrac{(168-241.2)^2+(181-241.2)^2+\cdots+(157-241.2)^2}{9}=7673.2[/tex]And the standard deviation is the square root of the variance, hence
[tex]\sigma=\sqrt{Var(x)}=\sqrt{7673.2}\approx87.6[/tex]In statistics, the standard deviation is a measure of how are the values getting away from the meanO, that is the point in the middle of the distribution:
This is the answer we're looking for.
For number eleven, suppose the new pizza has x calories.
We'll have a change in the mean, now being
[tex]\mu=\dfrac{2171+x}{10}[/tex]And the variance will be
[tex]Var(x)=\sum_{i=1}^n\dfrac{(x_i-\mu)^2}{10}=\dfrac{\left(168-\dfrac{2171+x}{10}\right)^2+\left(181-\dfrac{2171+x}{10}\right)^2+\left(177-\dfrac{2171+x}{10}\right)^2+\left(157-\dfrac{2171+x}{10}\right)^2+\left(321-\dfrac{2171+x}{10}\right)^2+\left(309-\dfrac{2171+x}{10}\right)^2+\left(380-\dfrac{2171+x}{10}\right)^2+\left(313-\dfrac{2171+x}{10}\right)^2+\left(165-\dfrac{2171+x}{10}\right)^2+\left(x-\dfrac{2171+x}{10}\right)^2}{10}[/tex]Consider taking x to be closer to the mean, that is
[tex]x\approx241.2[/tex]So the mean would be
[tex]\dfrac{2171+241.2}{10}\approx241.2[/tex]Won't change at all
And the difference between the value would be identically zero
Hence the variance will become smaller, making the standard deviation (the square root of it), smaller as well = 82.58

Find the percent increase for the given original and new quantities in parts a through c.a. Original quantity: 100 New quantity: 106b. Original quantity: 10 New quantity: 16c. Original quantity: 50 New quantity: 56
Answers
We can find the percent of increase by means of this formula:
Increase in percent = 100 * (new quantity - original quantity) /original quantity
By replacing the given values into the above formula, we get:
a.
Increase in percent = 100 * (106 - 100) / 100 = 100 * 6 / 100 = 600/100 = 6
Then, the percent of increase equals 6%
b.
Increase in percent = 100 * (16 - 10) / 100 = 100 * 6 / 10 = 600/10 = 60
Then, the percent of increase equals 60%
c.
Increase in percent = 100 * (56- 50) / 50 = 100 * 6 / 50 = 600/50 = 12
Then, the percent of increase equals 12%

Solve the following system of equations by finding when they are equal to each othery = -6x + 7 y= 13 - 8x The equations are equal to each other when x = and y=
Answers
ANSWER
x = 3, y = -11
EXPLANATION
We want to find the solution to the system of equations by finding when they are equal to one another.
The equations are:
y = -6x + 7
y = 13 - 8x
Now, we equate both of them:
-6x + 7 = 13 - 8x
Collect like terms:
-6x + 8x = 13 - 7
2x = 6
Divide through by 2:
x = 6 / 2
x = 3
From the first equation:
y = -6x + 7
Put the known value of x into the equation:
y = -6(3) + 7
y = -18 + 7
y = -11
Therefore, the equations are equal to each other when x = 3 and y = -11.

184-y=(20/3)y
solve for y
(20/3)y+y=184
(23/3)y=184
y=184*3/23
y=24
Find out the value of x
x=184-24
x=160
therefore
number of sandwiches is 160
