Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) ratio of all books to new books is   17 : 8  

or in quotient form: 17/8

(b) ratio of all books to used books is  17 : 9

or in quotient form: 17/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of new books = 8

Number of used books =  9

Total number of books = 17

Recall also that ratios are written with the symbol ":" in between the first quantity and then the second quantity, thus the symbol ":" replacing the word "to". For example "Ratio of a to b is written with the symbology:

a : b

which can also be translated to the quotient expression: a/b

Then the requested ratio of

(a) all books to new books is   17 : 8  

or in quotient form: 17/8

(b) all books to used books is  17 : 9

or in quotient form: 17/9

For a function to be a function (or linear), the rate of change MUST be proportional. In this data set, the numbers do not seem proportional, which makes it non-linear.

David wants to find the solutions of this system of equations: –4x – 7 = y x2 – 2x – 6 = y Which statement is true? Plz its urgent!!

Answers

Answer:

(-1, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations are:

[tex]-4x-7=y ...... (1)[/tex]

and

[tex]x^2 - 2x - 6 = y ....... (2)[/tex]

Equating (1) and (2):

[tex]-4x -7 =x^{2}-2x-6\\\Rightarrow x^{2}-2x-6+4x+7=0\\\Rightarrow x^{2}+2x+1=0\\\Rightarrow (x+1)^2=0\\\Rightarrow x = -1[/tex]

The two values of x are repeating in nature i.e. x = -1

So, value of [tex]x[/tex] is -1.

Putting value of [tex]x[/tex] in equation (1):

[tex]-4 \times (-1)-7=y \\\Rightarrow y=-3[/tex]

The solution is represented as ([tex]x,y[/tex])

Equilateral triangle ABC has a perimeter of 96 millimeters. A perpendicular bisector is drawn from angle A to side BC at point
M.
What is the length of MC?
16 mm
0 24 mm
O 32 mm
O 48 mm

Answers

Answer:

Correct option: First one -> 16 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

The equilateral triangle has its three sides with the same length.

So if the perimeter is 96 mm, we have:

[tex]Perimeter = 3*side[/tex]

[tex]3*side = 96[/tex]

[tex]side = 32 mm[/tex]

The segment MA is the height of the equilateral triangle, and its length can be calculated with the equation:

[tex]height = \frac{side * \sqrt{3}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]height = 16\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Using the Pythagoras' theorem in the triangle ACM, we have:

[tex]side^2 = MC^2 + height^2[/tex]

[tex]1024 = MC^2 + 768[/tex]

[tex]MC^2 = 256[/tex]

[tex]MC = 16\ mm[/tex]

Correct option: First one

53.9 yd

45.8 yd

22.9 yd

Answers

Answer:

22.9 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Since b² = a² - c² where a = vertex of major axis, 2a = 50 yards the length of the major axis. So , a = 50/2 = 25 yards. c = focus of chamber = 10 yards from center and b = vertex of minor axis.

So, b = ±√(a² - c²)

= ±√(25² - 10²)

= ±√(625 - 100)

= ±√525

= ±22.91 yards

≅ ± 22.9 yards

Since b = length of minor axis from center of chamber = 22.91 yards. So, he should build the whisper chamber 22.9 yards out from the center of the chamber.

When Jonathan bought 12 peaches and pears, at $1.50 per peach and

How many peaches and pears did he buy, respectively?
Fill in the blanks provided and solve for the answer.​

Answers

Answer 5 pears and 7 peaches

Explanation: you will need to make two equations to represent the problem
X being for peaches and y for pears
x+y= 12
1.5x + 1.6y= 18.5

We are going to use the elimination method and so we need to cancel either x or y in this case x. So we multiple the top equation by -1.5
-1.5x - 1.5y = -18
1.5x + 1.6y = 18.5

Then we can cancel the x since they are opposite and we can add the rest
0.1y =0.5
Y= 5
Then we can substitute the y into one of the equations
x + 5= 12
x= 7

Find the value of x.

The price of a vase was increased by 4% to £22. What was the price before the increase? Give your answer to the nearest penny.

Answers

Answer:

The price before the increase was £21.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, let the former price before the increment be £x

The increment would be 22-x

Mathematically, the percentage increment = difference between the prices/old price * 100%

Thus, we have(

(22-x)/x * 100 = 4

100(22-x) = 4x

2200-100x = 4x

100x + 4x = 2200

104x = 2200

x = 2200/104

x = 21.154

which is x = 21.2 to the nearest penny

Answer:

21.15

Step-by-step explanation:

22 × 10 = 220

100%+4%=104

104 ÷ 10 = 10.4

220 ÷ 10.4 =21.15384615

For each set of probabilities, determine whether the events A and B are independent or dependent.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\fbox{\begin{minipage}{15em}a, d: A and B are not independent\\b, c: A and B are independent\end{minipage}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Apply the correct formula to check whether two events are independent or not

If the events A and B are independent, then:

P(A) x P(B) = P(A⋂B)

The formula of conditional probability:

P(A⋂B) = P(A|B) x P(B) = P(B|A) x P(A)

Step 2: Perform the calculation

a)

P(A) x P(B) = (1/6) x (1/4) = 1/24

P(A⋂B) = P(A|B) x P(B) = (1/5) x (1/6) = 1/30

=> P(A) x P(B) is not equal to P(A⋂B)

=> A and B are not independent.

b)

P(A) x P(B) = (1/2) x (1/4) = 1/8

P(A⋂B) = 1/8

=> P(A) x P(B) is equal to P(A⋂B)

=> A and B are independent.

c)

P(A) x P(B) = (1/2) x (1/6) = 1/12

P(A⋂B) = P(A|B) x P(B) = (1/2) x (1/6) = 1/12

=> P(A) x P(B) is equal to P(A⋂B)

=> A and B are independent.

d)

P(A) x P(B) = (1/3) x (1/6) = 1/18

P(A⋂B) = P(B|A) x P(A) = (1/2) x (1/3) = 1/6

=> P(A) x P(B) is not equal to P(A⋂B)

=> A and B are not independent.

Rectangle ABCD is graphed in the coordinate plane. The following are the vertices of the rectangle: A(2, 1)B(5, 1),C(5, 6), and D(2, 6). Given these coordinates, what is the length of side AB of this rectangle?

Answers

Answer:

The legnth of side AB would be 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you would determine that both point A and point B would have the same y-coordinate of 1.   Then you would determine the difference between the x values of points A and B.  Since 5 (the x-value for B) minus 2 (the x-value for A) is 3, the legnth of side AB would be 3 units.

the graph below describes the journey of a train between two cities

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : Acceleration in first 15 min . Distance between two cities  Average speed of journey

Solution:

Each horizontal block is 1/8 hr = 7.5 min

Each vertical block is 10 km/hr

Time                    Velocity  km/hr

0 Min  ( 0 hr)            0

15 Min (1/4 hr)           50

45 Min (3/4 hr)         50

60 MIn  ( 1 hr)            100

90 Min  ( 3/2 hr)        100

120 Min ( 2hr)            0

Acceleration in first 15 min  (1/4 hr)  =  (50 - 0)/(1/4 - 0)  = 50/(1/4)

= 200  km/h²

Distance between two cities

= (1/2)(0 + 50)(1/4 - 0)  + 50 * (3/4 - 1/4)  + (1/2)(50 + 100)(1 - 3/4)  + 100 * (3/2 - 1) + (1/2)(100 + 0)(2 - 3/2)

=  25/4  + 25 + 75/4   + 50 + 25

= 125

Distance between two cities = 125 km

Average Speed of journey = 125/2  = 62.5  km/hr

Acceleration in first 15 min = 200  km/h²

Distance between two cities = 125 km

Average Speed of journey =  62.5  km/hr

Hope this helps..

Answer:

200km/h^2, 125km, 62.5km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

For part a) just use the acceleration formula (change in velocity/time). For part b), remember that distance traveled is the area under the graph. This is because displacement is the integral of velocity, meaning that you integrate to find the area (i.e. displacement). Lastly, for part c), just apply speed = distance/time because in this case, acceleration is constant.

Find the third side in simplest radical form

Answers

Answer:    3*sqrt(6)

=========================================================

Work Shown:

We see that one of the legs is unknown. We'll call this 'a'.

The other leg is b = 2, which becomes b^2 = 4

The hypotenuse (always opposite the 90 degree angle) is c = sqrt(58). This turns into c^2 = 58 when you square both sides.

---------

Use the pythagorean theorem to get

a^2+b^2 = c^2

a^2+4 = 58

a^2 = 58-4

a^2 = 54

a = sqrt(54)

a = sqrt(9*6)

a = sqrt(9)*sqrt(6)

a = 3*sqrt(6)

The third side in simplest radical form is x=3[tex]\sqrt{6}[/tex]

RIGHT TRIANGLE

A triangle is classified as a right triangle when it presents one of your angles equal to 90º.  The greatest side of a right triangle is called the hypotenuse. And, the other two sides are called cathetus or legs.

The math tools applied for finding angles or sides in a right triangle are the trigonometric ratios, metric relationships, or the Pythagorean Theorem.

For solving this question, you need to apply the Pythagorean Theorem that says: (hypotenuse)²= (leg1)²+(leg2)².  

The question gives:

Hypotenuse= [tex]\sqrt{58}[/tex]Leg1= 2Leg2= third side = unknow

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem, you have:

([tex]\sqrt{58}[/tex])² = 2²+ x²

58=4+x²

x²=58-4

x²=54

x=[tex]\sqrt{54}[/tex]

x=[tex]\sqrt{2*3^3}[/tex]

x=[tex]\sqrt{2*3^2*3}[/tex]

x=3[tex]\sqrt{2*3}[/tex]
