This statement describes the relationship between symmetries and rotations

This statement describes a relation between two symmetry operations, denoted by [tex]s_i[/tex] and [tex]s_j[/tex], and a rotation operation denoted by [tex]r_{i-j}[/tex]. The notation [tex]"s_i \circ s_i"[/tex] and [tex]"s_j \circ s_i"[/tex] denotes the composition of these operations, which means applying one operation after the other.

The statement says that [tex]s_i[/tex] and [tex]s_j[/tex] are both symmetries, and that they have a specific relationship with each other: when [tex]s_i[/tex] is composed with itself, it gives the identity operation (denoted by 1), and when [tex]s_j[/tex] is composed with [tex]s_i[/tex], it also gives the identity operation.

Then the statement concludes that this relationship implies that [tex]s_j[/tex] can be obtained by first applying [tex]s_i[/tex] and then applying a rotation operation [tex]r_{i-j}[/tex], and that [tex]s_i[/tex] can be obtained by first applying a rotation operation [tex]r_{i-j}[/tex] and then applying [tex]s_j[/tex].

The fraction of the square that is red is 1/6.

A fraction is a number that represents a part or parts of a whole. It consists of two numbers separated by a horizontal or diagonal line, with the number above the line (numerator) representing the part and the number below the line (denominator) representing the whole. For example, the fraction 3/4 represents three parts out of a whole that is divided into four equal parts.

A square divided into six equal parts has six equal sixths.

If Soo colors one of these equal parts red, then she has colored one-sixth of the square red.

Therefore, the fraction of the square that is red is 1/6.

Answer: [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8}{25}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can do this by counting the boxes for both the Width and the Length.

If we look at the width of these boxes (horizontally) then we see that there are 5 boxes all together, with 2 shaded green.

this means that 2 out of 5 of the boxes are shaded for the width, giving us the fraction: [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Then for the Length (vertically) we see that there are also 5 boxes, but this time 4 are shaded. This gives us the fraction:  [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex].

Then, to fill the equation in, we do: [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] , which gives us          [tex]\frac{8}{25}[/tex]

2 x 4 = 8

5 x 5 = 25

To double check this answer, we can count how many boxes are shaded green.

We see that 8 are shaded green, out of the 25 boxes that are there.

Therefore, giving us a complete answer of:  [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8}{25}[/tex]

The temperature at 1pm is -3°C, at 2pm it's -6°C, at 3pm it's -9°C, and at 6pm it's -18°C. The temperature t hours after noon is T = 0 - 3t

If the temperature is dropping at a rate of 3 degrees per hour, then the temperature t hours after noon can be represented by the equation T = 0 - 3t, where T is the temperature in degrees Celsius.

To find the temperature at a specific time after noon, we need to substitute the corresponding value of t into the equation and solve for T. For example:

At 1pm (t = 1), T = 0 - 3(1) = -3°C

At 2pm (t = 2), T = 0 - 3(2) = -6°C

At 3pm (t = 3), T = 0 - 3(3) = -9°C

At 6pm (t = 6), T = 0 - 3(6) = -18°C

To find the temperature t hours after noon, we can use the same equation: T = 0 - 3t. For example, if we want to find the temperature 4 hours after noon, we can substitute t = 4 into the equation: T = 0 - 3(4) = -12°C. So the temperature 4 hours after noon is -12°C.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up the equation :

0.9x = 110 ,

where x is the unknown number. To solve for x, we can divide both sides by 0.9 :

x = 110 ÷ 0.9

x = 122.22 (rounded to two decimal places)

So the unknown number is approximately 122.22.

To find 9% of that number, we can multiply 122.22 by 0.09 :

0.09 × 122.22 = 11.00 (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, 9% of the number is approximately 11.

The 99% confidence interval of the population mean is (352.32, 371.68).

To find the 99% confidence interval of the population mean, we need to use the following formula:

CI = x; ± zα/2 * (σ/√n)

where:

x' = sample mean (362)

zα/2 = z-score for 99% confidence level (2.576)

σ = population standard deviation (29.6)

n = sample size (40)

Substituting the values, we get:

CI = 362 ± 2.576 * (29.6/√40)

CI = 362 ± 9.68

This means that if we take many random samples of 40 hours from the population, we can be 99% confident that the true population mean of the number of customers per hour falls between 352.32 and 371.68.

The length of BC, to the nearest tenth of a centimeter, is calculated as: 12.6 centimeter.

Recall that two similar triangles will always have side lengths that are proportional in length. The triangles shown are similar to each other, therefore, the proportion below would be true:

Given the following:

AC = 7.2 units

CE = 2.4 units

CD = 4.2 units

BC = ?

Surface area of similar cone is 44π square inches

What does a cone in maths ?

A cone is referred to as a "right cone" when its vertex is higher than the base's centre (i.e., when the angle formed by the vertex, base center, and any base radius is a right angle); otherwise, the word "oblique" is used. A cone is referred to as an elliptic cone when the base is assumed to be an ellipse rather than a circle.

The surface area of a cone is given by:

surface area = πr(r + l)

where r is the radius and l is the slant height.

surface area of original cone = π(3)(3 + 12) = 45π

slant height of similar cone = (6/3)(12) = 24 inches

surface area of similar cone = π(6)(6 + 18) = 144π

ratio of surface areas = surface area of similar cone / surface area of original cone

= (144π) / (45π)

= 3.2

Therefore, The exact surface area of the similar cone is 6 times the surface area of the original cone,

For this substance with a half-life of 170 years, we can use the following formula to find the value of k:

[tex]0.5 = e^(^-^1^7^0^k^)[/tex]

Taking the natural logarithm of both sides, we get:

ln(0.5) = -170k

Solving for k, we get:

The strength of the beam is proportional to the width and the square of the depth, so we can express it as Strength = k * width * depth²

where k is the proportionality constant.

In the given figures, the beam is cut from a cylindrical log of diameter d = 24 cm, which means the maximum width and depth of the beam are limited by this diameter. We can see from the figures that the width and depth of the beam change depending on the angle at which it is cut from the log.

In Figure 1, the width and depth of the beam are equal, so we can express the strength of the beam as:

Strength = k * width * depth² = k * x² * (d/2 - x)²

where x is the width and depth of the beam.

In Figure 2, the width and depth of the beam are not equal, so we need to express them separately. Let w be the width and d be the depth, then we can express the strength of the beam as:

Strength = k * width * depth² = k * w * d² = k * ((d/2)sinθ)² * ((d/2)cosθ)²

where θ is the angle at which the beam is cut from the log.

In Figure 3, the width and depth of the beam also vary with the angle θ. We can express the width and depth as follows:

w = d sinθ

d = (d/2)cosθ

Then we can express the strength of the beam as:

Strength = k * width * depth² = k * (d sinθ) * [(d/2)cosθ]²

Therefore, depending on the angle at which the beam is cut from the log, the strength of the beam can be expressed using different equations, but in all cases, the strength is proportional to the width and the square of the depth, with a proportionality constant k.
