Answer:
The history of postal service of the United States began with the delivery of stampless letters, whose cost was borne by the receiving person, later also encompassed pre-paid letters carried by private mail carriers and provisional post offices, and culminated in a system of universal prepayment that required all letters to bear nationally issued adhesive postage stamps.[1]
Benjamin Franklin postage stamp of 1895
In the earliest days, ship captains arriving in port with stampless mail would advertise in the local newspaper names of those having mail and for them to come collect and pay for it, if not already paid for by the sender. Postal delivery in the United States was a matter of haphazard local organization until after the Revolutionary War, when eventually a national postal system was established.[2] Stampless letters, paid for by the receiver, and private postal systems, were gradually phased out after the introduction of adhesive postage stamps, first issued by the U.S. government post office July 1, 1847, in the denominations of five and ten cents, with the use of stamps made mandatory in 1855.
The issue and use of adhesive postage stamps continued during the 19th century primarily for first class mail. Each of these stamps generally bore the face or bust of an American president or another historically important statesman. However, once the Post Office realized during the 1890s that it could increase revenues by selling stamps as "collectibles," it began issuing commemorative stamps, first in connection with important national expositions, later for the anniversaries of significant American historical events. Continued technological innovation subsequently prompted the introduction of special stamps, such as those for use with airmail, zeppelin mail, registered mail, certified mail, and so on.[citation needed] Postage due stamps were issued for some time and were pasted by the post office to letters having insufficient postage with the postage due to be paid to the postal carrier at the receiving address.
Today, stamps issued by the post office are self-adhesive, and no longer require that the stamps be "licked" to activate the glue on their back. In many cases, post office clerks now use Postal Value Indicators (PVI), which are computer labels, instead of stamps.[citation needed]
Where for a century-and-a-half or so, stamps were almost invariably denominated with their values (5 cent, 10 cent, etc.) the United States post office now sells non-denominated "forever" stamps for use on first-class and international mail.[3] These stamps are still valid even if there is a rate increase. However, for other uses, adhesive stamps with denomination indicators are still available and sold.

Find the volume of a triangular prisim with the following dimensions.
Base= 5
Height= 3
Length= 8
Answer:
60³
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi again.
This time we are working with a triangular prism which is a bit trickier than a rectangular prism but it is still pretty easy once you know the formula.
The formula for a triangular prism is :
V = 1/2 x b x h x l
Or in full terms :
Volume = 1/2 x Base x Height x Length
So basically we are going to plug in the base , height, and width like we did before but this time at the end we are going to divide it in half.
So like last time, lets look at what we are given :
Base = 5
Height = 3
Length = 8
And now we put these numbers into the formula :
Volume = 1/2 x Base x Height x Length
Volume = 1/2 x 5 x 3 x 8
Lets save the 1/2 for last and do the others first.
So we can do 5 x 3 and get 15.
Then 15 x 8 and we get 120.
Now the equation is literally :
Volume = 1/2 x 120
(This is the same as 120 / 2 just in multiplication terms)
So lets do this :
120 / 2
=
60
So now we have your answer :
Volume = 60³
(Don't forget the little 3)
Again, I hope this helps!

What is the length of arc S shown below? Enter an exact expression. The angle in the figure is a central angle in radians.
Answer:
h
Step-by-step explanation:
n
Answer:
the answer is 18π/5
Step-by-step explanation:
A Central angle (θ) measured in radians tells us how many times the radius fits into the arc.
arc length ÷ radius = θ
arc length = θ · radius
S = 3π/5 · 6 cm
S = 18π/5 cm
Therefore the answer is 18π/5

Evaluate the integral. (Remember to use absolute values where appropriate. Use C for the constant of integration.) cos(x) sin(2x) sin(x) dx
Answer:
[tex]\int\limits {cos(x)\ sin(2x)\ sin(x)} \, dx = \frac{4x-sin(4x)}{16} +c[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]\int\limits {cos(x)\ sin(2x)\ sin(x)} \, dx[/tex]
Required
Evaluate
[tex]\int\limits {cos(x)\ sin(2x)\ sin(x)} \, dx[/tex]
Rewrite as:
[tex]\int\limits {cos(x)\ sin(2x)\ sin(x)} \, dx = \int\limits {cos(x)\ sin(x)\ sin(2x)} \, dx[/tex]
In trigonometry:
[tex]sin(2x) = 2\ sin(x)\ cos(x)[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2
[tex]\frac{1}{2}sin(2x) = \frac{2\ sin(x)\ cos(x) }{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2}sin(2x) = sin(x)\ cos(x)[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2}sin(2x) = cos(x)\ sin(x)[/tex]
Substitute [tex]\frac{1}{2}sin(2x)[/tex] for [tex]cos(x)\ sin(x)[/tex]
[tex]\int\limits {cos(x)\ sin(2x)\ sin(x)} \, dx = \int\limits {\frac{1}{2}sin(2x)\ sin(2x)} \, dx[/tex]
[tex]\int\limits {cos(x)\ sin(2x)\ sin(x)} \, dx = \int\limits {\frac{1}{2}sin^2(2x)} \, dx[/tex]
[tex]\int\limits {cos(x)\ sin(2x)\ sin(x)} \, dx = \frac{1}{2}\int\limits {sin^2(2x)} \, dx[/tex]
Let [tex]u = 2x[/tex]
Differentiate:
[tex]du = 2 \ dx[/tex]
Make [tex]dx[/tex] the subject
[tex]dx = \frac{1}{2}du[/tex]
Substitute [tex]\frac{1}{2}du[/tex] for [tex]dx[/tex]
[tex]\int\limits {cos(x)\ sin(2x)\ sin(x)} \, dx = \frac{1}{2}\int\limits {sin^2(2x)} \, \frac{1}{2}du[/tex]
Substitute 2x for u
[tex]\int\limits {cos(x)\ sin(2x)\ sin(x)} \, dx = \frac{1}{2}\int\limits {sin^2(u)} \, \frac{1}{2}du[/tex]
[tex]\int\limits {cos(x)\ sin(2x)\ sin(x)} \, dx = \frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{2}\int\limits {sin^2(u)} \, du[/tex]
[tex]\int\limits {cos(x)\ sin(2x)\ sin(x)} \, dx = \frac{1}{4}\int\limits {sin^2(u)} \, du[/tex]
At this point, we apply the reduction formula:
Which is:
[tex]\int\limits {sin^n(u)} \, du = \frac{n-1}{2}\int\limits sin^{n-2}(u)\ du\ - \frac{cos(u)sin^{n-1}(u)}{n}\du[/tex]
Let n = 2; So, we have:
[tex]\int\limits {sin^2(u)} \, du = \frac{2-1}{2}\int\limits sin^{2-2}(u)\ du\ - \frac{cos(u)sin^{2-1}(u)}{2}\du[/tex]
[tex]\int\limits {sin^2(u)} \, du = \frac{2-1}{2}\int\limits sin^{0}(u)\ du\ - \frac{cos(u)sin^{2-1}(u)}{2}\du[/tex]
[tex]\int\limits {sin^2(u)} \, du = \frac{1}{2}\int\limits sin^{0}(u)\ du\ - \frac{cos(u)sin^{2-1}(u)}{2}\du[/tex]
[tex]sin^0(u) = 1[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]\int\limits {sin^2(u)} \, du = \frac{1}{2}\int\limits 1\ du\ - \frac{cos(u)sin^{2-1}(u)}{2}\du[/tex]
Integrate 1 with respect to u
[tex]\int\limits {sin^2(u)} \, du = \frac{1}{2}u - \frac{cos(u)sin^{2-1}(u)}{2}\du[/tex]
[tex]\int\limits {sin^2(u)} \, du = \frac{1}{2}u - \frac{cos(u)sin(u)}{2}\du[/tex]
Recall that:
[tex]\int\limits {cos(x)\ sin(2x)\ sin(x)} \, dx = \frac{1}{4}\int\limits {sin^2(u)} \, du[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]\int\limits {cos(x)\ sin(2x)\ sin(x)} \, dx = \frac{1}{4}[ \frac{1}{2}u - \frac{cos(u)sin(u)}{2}\du][/tex]
Open bracket
[tex]\int\limits {cos(x)\ sin(2x)\ sin(x)} \, dx = \frac{1}{8}u - \frac{cos(u)sin(u)}{8}[/tex]
Recall that: [tex]u = 2x[/tex] and [tex]du = 2 \ dx[/tex] [tex]dx = \frac{1}{2}du[/tex]
So, the expression becomes:
[tex]\int\limits {cos(x)\ sin(2x)\ sin(x)} \, dx = \frac{1}{8}2x - \frac{cos(2x)sin(2x)}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\int\limits {cos(x)\ sin(2x)\ sin(x)} \, dx = \frac{1}{4}x - \frac{cos(2x)sin(2x)}{8}[/tex]
Add constant c
[tex]\int\limits {cos(x)\ sin(2x)\ sin(x)} \, dx = \frac{1}{4}x - \frac{cos(2x)sin(2x)}{8} +c[/tex]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In trigonometry:
[tex]sin(2\theta) = 2sin(\theta)cos(\theta)[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2
[tex]\frac{1}{2}sin(2\theta) = \frac{2sin(\theta)cos(\theta)}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2}sin(2\theta) = sin(\theta)cos(\theta)[/tex]
Replace 2x with [tex]\theta[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2}sin(2*2x) = sin(2x)cos(2x)[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2}sin(4x) = sin(2x)cos(2x)[/tex]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[tex]\int\limits {cos(x)\ sin(2x)\ sin(x)} \, dx = \frac{1}{4}x - \frac{cos(2x)sin(2x)}{8} +c[/tex] becomes
[tex]\int\limits {cos(x)\ sin(2x)\ sin(x)} \, dx = \frac{1}{4}x - \frac{sin(4x)}{2*8} +c[/tex]
[tex]\int\limits {cos(x)\ sin(2x)\ sin(x)} \, dx = \frac{1}{4}x - \frac{sin(4x)}{16} +c[/tex]
[tex]\int\limits {cos(x)\ sin(2x)\ sin(x)} \, dx = \frac{x}{4} - \frac{sin(4x)}{16} +c[/tex]
The solution can be further simplified as:
[tex]\int\limits {cos(x)\ sin(2x)\ sin(x)} \, dx = \frac{4x-sin(4x)}{16} +c[/tex]

Clare has 80 pencils and 56 erasers to give away. What is the largest number of group that can formed with the same numbers of pencils and erasers in each group?
Answer:
56
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume each person in the group must have 1 pencil AND 1 eraser each.
Since you have more pencils than erasers, then the limiting factor is the number of erasers. So a group of 56 people will have 1 pencil And 1 eraser and Clare will have 24 pencils left over (assuming Clare has her own pencil and eraser - if not then the group size is 55 assuming Clare is not in the group)

A beverage distributor has a facility that bottles beer. Beer bottles are supposed to be filled to 12 oz but there are slight variations. As part of quality control, they randomly sample bottles of beer and measure how many ounces they contain. In the most recent sample, the found an average fill of 12.01 oz with a standard deviation of 0.89. Quantitative Question 2a If one of the bottles of sampled beer was filled to 10.98 oz, what is its associated zscore
Answer:
Its associated z-score is -1.16.
Step-by-step explanation:
Z-score:
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In the most recent sample, the found an average fill of 12.01 oz with a standard deviation of 0.89.
This means that [tex]\mu = 12.01, \sigma = 0.89[/tex].
If one of the bottles of sampled beer was filled to 10.98 oz, what is its associated zscore
This is Z when X = 10.98. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{10.98 - 12.01}{0.89}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.16[/tex]
Its associated z-score is -1.16.
