It is desired to pile some logs in layers so that the top layer contains one log, the next layer contains two logs, the next layer contains three logs, and so on; each layer containing one more log than the layer on top of it. There are 190 logs. Can all the log be used in such a grouping, and if so, how many logs are in the bottom layer?
Answer:
Yes all of the logs can be used in such a grouping.
We'll have 19 logs in the bottom row (and have 19 rows)
========================================================
Explanation:
Let n be the number of layers. Let T(n) represent how many logs there are total.
If you have 1 layer, then you have 1 log. So we can say that T(1) = 1.If there are n = 2 layers, then we have 1 log on top of two other logs, which leads to 1+2 = 3 logs total. This shows that T(2) = 3.If there are n = 3 layers, then we have 1 log on top of 2 which are on top of 3 at the very bottom. We have 1+2+3 = 6 logs total. So T(3) = 6.Having n = 4 layers gives 1+2+3+4 = 10 logs. So T(4) = 10Having n = 5 layers gives 1+2+3+4+5 = 15 logs. So T(5) = 15This process continues for however long you like. The sequence 1,3,6,10,15 is the set of triangular numbers, since the logs form a triangular or pyramid shape when stacked this way. To get the nth value in the triangular number sequence, use this formula
T(n) = 0.5*n*(n+1)
---------------
For example, let's say we wanted to find how many logs there were in the fifth layer
T(n) = 0.5*n*(n+1)
T(5) = 0.5*5*(5+1)
T(5) = 15
This matches from earlier.
The purpose of bringing in a formula is to see if we can get T(n) = 190 for some integer n.
-------------------
T(n) = 0.5*n*(n+1)
190 = 0.5*n*(n+1)
190*2 = n(n+1)
380 = n^2+n
0 = n^2+n-380
n^2+n-180 = 0
Applying the quadratic formula will lead to the two solutions: n = -20 and n = 19. We ignore the negative value of n as we can't have a negative number of rows. Therefore, n = 19 is the only valid solution here.
If we wanted to stack 190 logs in this triangular pyramid fashion, then we'll need to have 19 rows. The bottom row will have 19 logs.
----------
Check:
1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10 = 55
11+12+13+14+15+16+17+18+19 = 135
55+135 = 190
Or you could say,
T(n) = 0.5*n*(n+1)
T(19) = 0.5*19*(19+1)
T(19) = 190
Either way, the answer is confirmed.
Points M (2, 9) and N (-1, 3) are on a line with y-intercept 5. What is the equation of the line?
Answer:
Whenever you are given two points, start by naming the points. (2, 9) becomes (x1, y1); then (-1, 3) becomes (x2, y2). When you know which numbers you are putting into which formulas, it makes it much easier.
Start with finding your slope. m = y2 - y1/ x2 -x1

1/4, 3/4, 5/4, 7/4, ... 15th term
Answer:
29/4
Step-by-step explanation:
2/4 is added per step
14 steps from 1/4
1/4 + 14.(2/4) = 29/4
Answer:
29 / 4 is the 15th term
simplified : 7 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4 - 1/4 = 2/4
5/4 - 3/4 = 2/4
7/4 - 5/4 = 2/4
. Use Arithmetic equation
a1 = 1/4
d= common difference = 2/4
a15 = a1 + (n-1) d
a15 = 1/4 + (15 - 1) 2/4
a15 = 1/4 + 14 (2/4)
a15 = 1/4 + 7
a15 = 29/4 or 7 1/4

y = 7
The value of x is ______.
The solution to this system of equations is _______.
Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\boxed{\sf x=-3}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\sf y = -3x - 2[/tex]
[tex]\sf y=7[/tex]
We'll substitute y into the equation:
[tex]\sf 7 = -3x - 2[/tex]
Switch sides:
[tex]\sf -3x-2=7[/tex]
Add 2 to both sides
[tex]\sf -3x-2+2=7+2[/tex]
[tex]\sf -3x=9[/tex]
Divide both sides by -3:
[tex]\sf \cfrac{-3x}{-3}=\cfrac{9}{-3}[/tex]
[tex]\sf x=-3[/tex]
Therefore, the value of x/solution is -3

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (3,-1) and (3, -6).
Answer:
Undefined
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope formula:
y2-y1/x2=x1

In (3, -6), 3 is x2 and -6 is y2
-6-(-1)/3-3
Which is -5/0

A parachutist's speed during a free fall reaches 60 meters per second. What is this speed in feet per second? At this speed, how many feet will the parachutist fall during 15 seconds of free fall? In your computations, assume that 1 meter is equal to 3.3 feet. Do not round your answers.
A) The speed of the parachute in feet per second is; 198 ft/s
B) At the given speed, the number of feet the parachute will fall during 15 seconds of freefall is; 2970 ft
We are given;
Speed of parachute during freefall = 60 m/s
A) We are told that 1 m = 3.3 ft
Thus, 60 m/s in ft/s = 60 × 3.3/1 = 198 ft/s
B) Speed is now 198 ft/s
Time is 15 seconds

Distance = speed × time
Distance = 198 × 15

Step-by-step explanation:
The school band is selling items to raise $9,500 for a trip. For each item sold, the band's profit is a percent of the selling price, as shown in the table. The flutists' goal is to raise 18% of the total amount needed. The trumpeters' goal is 85% of the flutists' goal. If both of these groups meet their goals, which group raised more money? What was the difference in the amounts the students raised?
The goal amount of the student groups are given in percentages, which are fractions based on one hundred.
The flutist raised more money than the trumpetersThe difference in the amounts the student raised is $256.5Reasons:
The amount the school band is raising for the trip = $9,500
Goal of the flutist = To raise 18% of the total amount
Goal of the trumpeters = 85% of the flutist's goal
Required:
The group that raise more money, given that their goals are met
Solution:
Given that the goal of the trumpeters trumpeters is 85% of the goal of the flutist, the flutist raised more money.
Required:
The difference in the amount raised by the students
Solution:
The amount raised by the flutist = 18% of $9,500 = 0.18 × $9,500 = $1,710
Amount the trumpeters raised = 85% of $1,710 = 0.85 × $1,710 = $1,453.5
The difference in the amount raised = $1,710 - $1,453.5 = $256.5

If the standard deviation of of the values 2,4, 6,8 is 2.236, the the standard deviation of the values 4, 8, 12, 20 is?
Answer:
5.916
count N : 4
Sum, Ex : 44
Mean , M
Variance , o2 : 35
Step-by-step explanation:
we are creating the mean value of the squares of the differences of each data point to the mean value (variance), and then we pull the square root to bring the differences back to the same dimension as the basic data points.
and since we are dealing with the whole "population" of data points and not only with a sample of a much larger set of data points, that mean value of the differences is a true mean value (divide by n = the number of data points). if we would deal with a sample of a much larger population, we would divide by n-1.
so, how does this work in practice ?
let's go first for the given example :
2, 4, 6, 8.
the mean value is : (2+4+6+8)/4 = 20/4 = 5.
the variance (mean value of the squared differences of each data point to the mean value) :
((2-5)² + (4-5)² + (6-5)² + (8-5)²)/4 = (9+1+1+9)/4 = 20/4 = 5.
the standard deviation is the square root of the variance.
so,
SD = sqrt(5) = 2.236067977...
now for the given problem :
4, 8, 12, 20
the mean value is : (4+8+12+20)/4 = 44/4 = 11.
the variance (mean value of the squared differences of each data point to the mean value) :
((4-11)² + (8-11)² + (12-11)² + (20-11)²)/4 = (49+9+1+81)/4 = 140/4 = 35.
the standard deviation is the square root of the variance.
so,
SD = sqrt(35) = 5.916079783... ≈ 5.916

(2x³y^-4)^-2 = 1/(4x⁶y^‐8) = y⁸/(4x⁶)
1/(8x⁵y^-7) = y⁷/(8x⁵)
4x^-9y⁴ = 4y⁴/x⁹
so, the whole expression is then
y⁸/(4x⁶) × y⁷/(8x⁵) × 4y⁴/x⁹
4y¹⁹/(32x²⁰) = y¹⁹/(8x²⁰)
so, D is the correct answer.
