Each cookie has a thickness of 0.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

   The total volume of the cylinder is given by 29.452 in^{3}

Diameter of each cookie is 2.5 in. The cylinder can hold exactly 12 cookies stacked inside. The thickness for each cookie equals t.

\textrm{Volume of cylinder = }12\textrm{ x Volume of cookie}

29.452=12(\pi (\frac{2.5}{2} )^{2}t )

t=0.5\textrm{ in}

Thus, the thickness of every cookie is established to be 0.5 inches.

The space probe must be able to recognize 7 distinct command types.
The number of combinations that can be encoded using n bits is 2^n. Thus, the minimum number of bits required to encode at least 7 different commands would be:

2^n > 7
2^n > 2^2.80
n > 2.80
n=3

A local pizzeria offers 15 toppings for their pizzas and you can choose any 3 of them for one fixed price. How many different ty
Svet_ta [12734]

Answer:

It could either be 455 or 680, based on assumptions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the three choices are distinct, we can calculate...

  15C3 = 15·14·13/(3·2·1) = 35·13 = 455

ways to create the pizza.

___

In the case where two or more of the toppings may be identical, this would lead to...

  2(15C2) + 15C1 = 2·105 + 15 = 225

additional combinations, resulting in a grand total of...

  455 + 225 = 680

unique pizza varieties.

__

There is a multiplication factor of 2 for the two-topping selections, since it allows for variations like double anchovies and tomatoes or double tomatoes and anchovies when the topping choices are anchovies and tomatoes.

_____

nCk = n!/(k!(n-k)!)

A coffee is sitting on Mr. Hunt's desk cooling. It cools according to the function T=70(0.80)^x+20, where x is the time in minut
Leona [12618]

Answer:

90 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question

On Mr. Hunt's desk, a cup of coffee is cooling down. Its cooling can be described by the equation T=70(0.80)^x+20, where x represents time in minutes and T denotes the temperature in degrees Celsius. WHAT IS THE STARTING temperature of the coffee

To find the starting temperature, we set x = 0

Plug x = 0 into the formula;

T=70(0.80)^x+20

T =70(0.80)^0+20

Recognizing that any number raised to the power of zero equals 1, we have;

T = 70(1)+20

T = 70+20

T = 90 degrees Celsius

Thus, the starting temperature of the coffee is 90 degrees

Find all points on the circle (x^2) + (y^2) = 676 where the slope is 5/12
zzz [12365]
Implicit differentiation: remember that dy/dx y = dy/dx, so take the derivative of both sides. To solve for the derivative, subtract 2x from both sides, then divide by 2y. When considering the slope, solve for it and determine where the circle intersects with the line. Substitute for y and proceed by multiplying both sides. Take the square root of both sides, accounting for both positive and negative roots, leading to x = ±10. Thus, the points located are (10,-24) and (-10,24).

Driving from oban to stranraer a driver averages 8 miles per gallon of fuel. if fuel costs 83 cents a gallon how much will be th
Svet_ta [12734]

Answer:

$18.56

Detailed solution:    

The given distance from Oban to Stranraer is 178.9 miles.

First, determine the gallons of fuel consumed by dividing this distance by the vehicle's mileage (miles per gallon).

\text{Total number of gallons of fuel used during the journey}=\frac{178.9\text{ miles}}{8\frac{\text{miles}}{\text{gallon}}}

\text{Total number of gallons of fuel used during the journey}=\frac{178.9\text{ miles}}{8}\times \frac{\text{gallon}}{\text{miles}}

\text{Total number of gallons of fuel used during the journey}=22.3625\text{gallon}

Next, calculate the total fuel expense by multiplying the amount of fuel used by the price per gallon, which is $0.83.

\text{Total cost in fuel during the journey}=22.3625\times\$0.83

\text{Total cost in fuel during the journey}=\$18.560875\approx \$18.56

Hence, the total fuel cost for this trip amounts to $18.56.
