the temperature is -7. Since midnight the temperature tripled and then rose 5 degrees. What was the temperature at midnight?

The particular solution for f(x) is:

f(x) = (2/3)x³/² - (17/8)x + 2

We will integrate the given differential equation twice and use the initial conditions to find the constants of integration.

Given: f"(x) = 0.25x⁻³/²

Integrating once, we get:

f'(x) = ∫(0.25x⁻³/²) dx = 0.5x¹/² + C₁

where C₁ is the constant of integration.

Using the initial condition f'(4) = -1/8, we can solve for C₁:

f'(4) = 0.5(4)¹/² + C₁ = 2 + C₁ = -1/8

C₁ = -1/8 - 2 = -17/8

So,

f'(x) = 0.5x¹/² - 17/8

Integrating again, we get:

f(x) = ∫(0.5x¹/² - 17/8) dx = (2/3)x³/² - (17/8)x + C₂

where C₂ is the second constant of integration.

Using the initial condition f(0) = 2, we can solve for C₂:

f(0) = (2/3)(0)³/² - (17/8)(0) + C₂ = 2

C₂ = 2

So, the particular solution for f(x) is:

f(x) = (2/3)x³/² - (17/8)x + 2

There is a high probability that Somil will be assigned at least one of his preferred topics.

To calculate the probability of Somil getting at least one of his preferred topics, we can use the complement rule. That is, we calculate the probability of Somil not getting any of his preferred topics and then subtract that probability from 1.

Let's first calculate the total number of ways to assign the topics to the students. We can think of this as distributing 34 distinct objects (the topics) into 9 distinct groups (the students), where each group gets 3 objects. We can use the multinomial coefficient formula to compute this:

C(34, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3) = (34!)/(3!)^9

where C(n, k1, k2, ..., km) denotes the multinomial coefficient, which is the number of ways to divide n distinct objects into m groups with k1, k2, ..., km objects in each group.

Next, let's calculate the number of ways to assign the topics such that Somil does not get any of his preferred topics. We can think of this as first choosing 5 topics that Somil does not want, and then distributing the remaining 29 topics among the 9 students. The number of ways to choose 5 topics out of 29 is C(29, 5), and the number of ways to distribute the remaining 29 topics among 9 students is C(29, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2) (since 2 topics are already assigned to Somil). Therefore, the total number of ways to assign the topics such that Somil does not get any of his preferred topics is:

C(29, 5) * C(29, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2)

To calculate the probability of this event, we divide the above expression by the total number of ways to assign the topics:

P(Somil does not get any preferred topic) = [C(29, 5) * C(29, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2)] / [(34!)/(3!)^9]

Finally, we can use the complement rule to find the probability that Somil gets at least one of his preferred topics:

P(Somil gets at least one preferred topic) = 1 - P(Somil does not get any preferred topic)

Plugging in the values, we get:

P(Somil gets at least one preferred topic) = 1 - [C(29, 5) * C(29, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2)] / [(34!)/(3!)^9]

This evaluates to approximately 0.782, or 78.2%. Therefore, there is a high probability that Somil will be assigned at least one of his preferred topics.

The probability of drawing two striped tiles in a row would be 9/64.

The probability of picking a striped tile with one draw is 3/8, due to the fact that out of the eight existing tiles, three are striped. Simultaneously considering that the tile is replaced following each pick, the likelihood of obtaining another striped tile is still 3/8.

To ascertain the probability of drawing two consecutive striped tiles, we multiply the likelihood of the initial draw being striped (3/8) by the chance of the second draw occurring striped (3/8).

The probability is therefore :

The container could hold an additional 870 mL of broth if it is already holding the 90 mL of broth from the beaker.

To figure out if the chicken broth in the beaker will fit into the rectangular food storage container, we need to compare the volume of the beaker to the volume of the container.

The volume of the beaker can be calculated by multiplying its base area (which is the same as the area of the circle at the bottom of the beaker) by its height. The volume of the container can be calculated by multiplying its length, width, and height.

If the volume of the beaker is less than or equal to the volume of the container, then the chicken broth will fit. If it is greater, then the chicken broth will not fit.

To find out how much more broth the container could hold if it fits, we can subtract the volume of the beaker from the volume of the container.

For example, if the beaker has a diameter of 6 cm and a height of 10 cm, then its volume would be:

V_beaker = πr^2h = π(3^2)(10) = 90π cm^3 = 90 mL

If the rectangular food storage container has dimensions of 12 cm x 8 cm x 10 cm, then its volume would be:

V_container = lwh = 12(8)(10) = 960 cm^3 = 960 mL

Since 90 mL (the volume of the beaker) is less than 960 mL (the volume of the container), the chicken broth will fit in the container. The amount of broth the container can hold in addition to the beaker's contents would be:       960 mL - 90 mL = 870 mL

The surface area of the pyramid is 310.00 square centimeters.

To find the surface area of the pyramid, we need to find the area of each of its faces and add them up.

First, let's find the area of the base of the pyramid;

Area of base = (side length)² = 7² = 49 cm²

Now, we find the area of each triangular face. To do this, we need to find the length of the slant height (l), which is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with one leg equal to half the base and the other leg equal to the height of  pyramid.

Half of the base = 7/2 = 3.5 cm

Using Pythagorean theorem, we find the slant height;

l² = (3.5)² + (15)²

l² = 122.25 + 225

l² = 347.25

l = √(347.25) ≈ 18.64 cm

Now we find the area of each triangular face;

Area of face = (1/2) x base x height = (1/2) x 7 x 18.64 ≈ 65.24 cm²

Finally, we can find the total surface area by adding up the areas of all four faces;

Total surface area = 4 x (area of face) + (area of base)

Total surface area = 4 x 65.24 + 49

Total surface area = 261.00 + 49

Total surface area = 310.00 cm²

If the surface area of cylinder A is 700cm², the surface area of cylinder B is 1612.8cm².

Since the two cylinders are similar, their dimensions are proportional to each other. Let the height and radius of cylinder A be h and r, respectively, and let the height and radius of cylinder B be kh and kr, respectively, where k is the scale factor.

Since cylinder B uses 72.8% more metal than cylinder A, we have:

Volume of cylinder B = 1.728 times the volume of cylinder A

Using the formula for the volume of a cylinder, we have:

π(kr)²(kh) = 1.728πr²h

Simplifying the equation, we get:

k³ = 1.728

k = 1.2

So the scale factor is 1.2. Therefore, the height and radius of cylinder B are 1.2 times those of cylinder A. Hence, we have:

Surface area of cylinder B = 2π(1.2r)² + 2π(1.2r)(1.2h)

To calculate the speed and velocity of the velociraptor, we need to first find the total distance it covered and the displacement.

Total distance = 5m + 10m + 3m + 2m = 20m

Displacement = Final position - Initial position

Displacement = (2m [w]) - (5m [e])

Displacement = -3m [w]

Velocity is defined as displacement per unit time, while speed is defined as distance per unit time.

Velocity = Displacement / Time

Velocity = -3m [w] / 10s

Velocity = -0.3 m/s [w]

Speed = Total distance / Time

Speed = 20m / 10s

Speed = 2 m/s

The mean of the puppy weights changes by 0.14 pounds.

To determine how the mean of the puppy weights changes with the removal of the outlier, follow these steps:

1. First, identify the outlier in the given data set: Puppy Weights: 2.9, 3.0, 3.1, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.3, 3.4, 4.4. The outlier is 4.4 as it is significantly higher than the rest of the values.

2. Calculate the mean with the outlier: Add all the weights and divide by the total number of puppies (9). (2.9+3.0+3.1+3.1+3.2+3.3+3.3+3.4+4.4)/9 = 29.7/9 = 3.3

3. Calculate the mean without the outlier: Remove the outlier (4.4) from the sum and divide by the new total number of puppies (8). (29.7 - 4.4)/8 = 25.3/8 = 3.1625

4. Calculate the change in mean by subtracting the mean without the outlier from the mean with the outlier, and round to the nearest hundredth of a pound: 3.3 - 3.1625 = 0.1375, which rounds to 0.14.

With the removal of the outlier, the mean of the puppy weights changes by 0.14 pounds.

3) functions s and g have the same x-intercept.

The phrase "function g is ___ on all intervals of x" refers to the behavior of the function g with respect to its input variable x. If we know that g is increasing on all intervals of x, this means that as we move from left to right along the x-axis, the values of g are increasing. In other words, if we were to plot the graph of g, it would be sloping upwards from left to right.

The phrase "the same is true about ____" is asking us to identify another function that has the same behavior as function g. The options given are both s and t, function s, function t, or neither s nor t. Without any further information about s and t, we cannot definitively say whether they are increasing on all intervals of x like g. Therefore, the correct answer is "both s and t," because this option covers the possibility that either s or t may have the same behavior as g.

The phrase "functions ____ have the same x-intercept" refers to the point(s) where the graph of each function intersects the x-axis. If we know that functions s and g have the same x-intercept, this means that they intersect the x-axis at the same point(s). Therefore, the correct answer is "s and g." However, there is no information given to suggest that function t has the same x-intercept as either s or g, so it is not a correct answer option.

Answer is The smaller angle is 35°.

To solve for the acute angles in a right triangle when sin(5x)° = cos(3x + 2)°, we need to use trigonometric identities.

Recall that sin(x) = cos(90 - x) for any angle x. Using this identity, we can rewrite sin(5x)° as cos(90 - 5x)°.

Similarly, cos(x) = sin(90 - x) for any angle x. Using this identity, we can rewrite cos(3x + 2)° as sin(90 - (3x + 2))°, which simplifies to sin(88 - 3x)°.

Now we have cos(90 - 5x)° = sin(88 - 3x)°. Since these two expressions are equal, we can set them equal to each other and solve for x:

cos(90 - 5x)° = sin(88 - 3x)°

sin(5x)° = sin(88 - 3x)°

5x = 88 - 3x

8x = 88

(4 x 89) + x = 5 x 90

Simplifying:

356 + x = 450

x = 94

Therefore, Marissa needs to score 94% on test five to have a mean of 90% for all five tests.

Ms. Paquette used approximately 0.73 gallons of paint for one coat on the rectangular wall.

To determine how many gallons of paint Ms. Paquette used for one coat on the rectangular wall, we first need to calculate the total area of the wall.

Area of the wall = length x width
= 25.5 feet x 10 feet
= 255 square feet

Now, to find out how many gallons of paint are needed for one coat, we need to know the coverage rate of the paint. This information is usually provided on the paint can label. Let's assume that the coverage rate for the paint Ms. Paquette used is 350 square feet per gallon.

To calculate how many gallons of paint are needed, we can divide the total area of the wall by the coverage rate of the paint:

255 square feet ÷ 350 square feet per gallon = 0.7286 gallons

This means that Ms. Paquette used approximately 0.73 gallons of paint for one coat on the rectangular wall. Since paint is typically sold in 1-gallon containers, she would need to purchase at least one gallon of paint to complete one coat on this wall.

Using one cigarette packet per day with the cost of $ 5.50 tax revenue would be raised from John's cigarette purchases is $9,636.

Tax revenue is the income received by the government from the taxation of individuals, businesses, and other entities.

Taxes are mandatory payments imposed on income, goods and services, property, and other items, which are collected by the government to finance public goods and services such as infrastructure, education, healthcare, and defense.  

To solve the given problem, assume the cost of a cigarette packet and find the total revenue that can be generated.

Here we have

There was a 10 percent tax on every pack of cigarettes John bought between the age of 22 and age 70

To calculate the tax revenue raised from John's cigarette purchases between ages 22 and age 70, we need to know how many packs of cigarettes he bought during that period.

Let's assume that John bought an average of one pack of cigarettes per day or 365 packs per year.

The difference Between the ages of 22 and age 70 = 70 - 22 = 48 years

Hence, John would have bought cigarettes for 48 years, so the total number of packs he bought would be:

365 packs/year x 48 years = 17,520 packs

If there were a 10% tax on each pack, the tax revenue would be:

0.10 x $5.50 (average cost of a pack of cigarettes in the US)

= $0.55 tax per pack

$0.55 tax per pack x 17,520 packs = $9,636 in tax revenue

This is an estimate, as it does not take into account any variations in the price of cigarettes over time or across different regions.

As for how much tax money could be used to reduce smoking rates, there are several options.

One possibility is to invest the revenue in smoking cessation programs and public health campaigns to educate people about the risks of smoking and help them quit.

The money could also be used to fund research into developing new treatments for tobacco addiction or to support medical research into the health effects of smoking.

Therefore  

Using one cigarette packet per day with the cost of $ 5.50 tax revenue would be raised from John's cigarette purchases is $9,636.
