Answer:

En un lapso de 5 horas, la noticia habrá llegado a toda la comunidad.

Step-by-step explanation:

Iniciamos con 5 individuos que conocieron la noticia.

Transcurrida una hora, cada uno de ellos comunicó la noticia a 5 más.

Las nuevas 5 personas luego se la contaron a otras 5, continuando este ciclo.

Cada persona escucha y narra la noticia solo una vez y la población del pueblo es un poco superior a 19000.

La fórmula que utilizamos para resolver este problema es la siguiente:

Empezamos con 5 personas que supieron de la noticia en el tiempo 'hora 0'.

Después de una hora, cada uno transmitió la noticia a 5 personas adicionales, lo que significa que después de la primera hora tendremos:

5+5^{2}=30 (I)

Esto incluye las 5 originales de la 'hora 0' más 25 que se enteraron en la primera hora. La fórmula que formulamos es esta:

5^{1}+5^{2}+5^{3}+...+5^{x}>19000 (II)

Debemos hallar el valor de x que cumpla con la ecuación (II).

Al calcular y sumar, descubrimos que:

5^{1}+5^{2}+5^{3}+5^{4}+5^{5}+5^{6}>19000

19530>19000

El valor de x que satisface (II) es x=6.

Para determinar el número de horas, observamos que en (I) el mayor exponente del 5 es 2. Por ese exponente, ha pasado una hora.

Así que para nuestro x=6, las horas transcurridas son 5 horas (una menos que el valor de x).

El pueblo entero conocerá la noticia a las 5 horas.

Mara ran 3km north and then 4km east. She will finish her run by running directly home. What was the total distance of her run?
tester [12383]
To find the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides measuring 3 and 4, we first need to use the Pythagorean theorem and then add that distance to 3 and 4.

By applying the theorem, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the sides...

d^2=3^2+4^2

d^2=9+16

d^2=25

d=√25

d=5

Thus, the total distance for her run is 5+4+3=12 km

Ten liters of pure water are added to a 50-liter pot of soup that is 50% broth. Fill in the missing parts of the table.
Zina [12379]

Answer:

c= 25

d= 60

Step-by-step explanation:

C: This is because 25+0 is simply 25. Essentially, you are not adding anything, so it remains unchanged!:)

D: 50 + 10 = 60. That’s straightforward addition!

Hope this helps!

Nicolas has three fewer than twice the number of songs downloaded as Sabrina does. Interpret the meaning of the expression 2x –
zzz [12365]
The variable representing the total number of songs is x, hence twice that quantity is 2x, and subtracting three results in -3, which leads to the expression 2x - 3.
