Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering that 5/8 of the staff consists of males, we determine that the complete staff is represented by 8/8.

By calculating 8/8 - 5/8, we find that 3/8 remains.

This indicates that 3/8 of the workforce is female.

I hope this clarifies your question. If there are additional details needed, please let me know.

Which functions represent the arithmetic sequence 8, 1.5, –5, –11.5 . . . ? Check all that apply. f(n) = –6.5n + 14.5 f(n) = –1.
PIT_PIT [12445]
To determine which functions depict the arithmetic sequence 8, 1.5, -5, -11.5,... follow these steps:

<span>f(n) = –6.5n + 14.5... correct
f(1) = 8
f(2) = 1.5
f(3) = -5
f(4) = -11.5

f(n) = –1.5n + 9.5... incorrect
f(1) = 8
f(2) = 6.5

f(n) = 6.5n + 1.5... incorrect
f(1) = 8
f(2) = 14.5

f(1) = 8, f(n + 1) = f(n) – 6.5... correct
f(2) = 8 - 6.5 = 1.5
f(3) = 1.5 - 6.5 = -5
f(4) = -5 - 6.5 = -11.5

f(1) = 8, f(n + 1) = f(n) – 1.5... incorrect
f(2) = 8 - 1.5 = 6.5

f(1) = 8, f(n + 1) = f(n) + 6.5... incorrect
f(2) = 8 + 6.5 = 14.5

The valid functions are:
</span>f(n) = –6.5n + 14.5 and f(1) = 8, f(n + 1) = f(n) – 6.5.

Zina [12379]
s/18=64/288, multiply both sides by 18 yields s=1152/288, thus s=4 ft. Therefore, Sarah's height is four feet.

Find a parametrization, using cos(t) and sin(t), of the following curve: The intersection of the plane y= 5 with the sphere
Svet_ta [12734]

Answer:

The parametrization of the specified curve is x = 10 cos(t) \ \,z = 10 sin(t)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the provided problem statement, we derive the function

x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 125

When y = 5

x^2 + 5^2 +z^2 =125

x^2 + z^2 = 100

x^2 + z^2 = 10^2

Converting the above to a polar equation yields

x = 10 cos(t) \ \,z = 10 sin(t)
