Find four consecutive positive integers such that the product of the first and fourth is four less than twice the first multiplied by the fourth.

Answers

Answer 1
Four consecutive integers... n, n+1, n+2, n+3.

The product of the 1st and 4th is four less than twice the 1st multiplied by the 4th.

n(n+3)=2n(n+3)-4  perform indicated multiplications...

n^2+3n=2n^2+6n-4  subtract n^2 from both sides

3n=n^2+6n-4  subtract 3n from both sides

n^2+3n-4=0  factor

n^2-n+4n-4=0

n(n-1)+4(n-1)=0

(n+4)(n-1)=0, and since n>0

n=1

So the four numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4

check...

1(4)=2(1)4-4

4=8-4

4=4

Write an equation that can be used to find the area A of a rectangular rug whose sides are 5 feet long and x feet long

Answers

Area has two dimensions: the length and the width. It is measured in square units such as square feet, square meters or square inches. To solve for the area of a rectangle, multiply the length by the width, with the formula: A = L * W where A is the area, L is the length, W is the width. Given 5 feet for the length and x feet for the width, substitute the given to the formula to come up with an equation A=5x.

Find x 58 degrees and adjacent 4.0

Answers

A special kind of triangle is a right triangle whose definite characteristic is having a 90° angle. It is also special because there are derived trigonometric formulas/identities that can be applied to it. A right triangle has three sides: hypotenuse, adjacent side and opposite side. The hypotenuse is the longest side of the right triangle. You can determine this visually, if not, quantitatively. The other sides are with respect to a given angle.

For the problem, it might have asked for the opposite side or the hypotenuse. We use the cosine function to find the hypotenuse:

cos 58° = adjacent/hypotenuse = 4/hypotenuse
hypotenuse = 7.55 units

Then, we use the tangent function to find the opposite side.

tan 58° = opposite/adjacent = opposite/4
opposite = 6.4 units

When $n$ is divided by 10, the remainder is $a$. when $n$ is divided by 13, the remainder is $b$. what is $n$ modulo 130, in terms of $a$ and $b$?

Answers

If

N = a (mod 10)

N = b (mod 13)

gcd(10,13) = 1

then

N = 10 bx + 13 ay (mod 130)

Where

10x + 13y = 1

-> (10x + 13) (mod 2) = 1 (mod 2)

-> y (mod 2) = 1

y = -3, x = 4

-> N = 40b – 39a (mod 130)

 

It is given that  ra + sb should be non-negative:

 

N = 40b – 39a (mod 130)

N = 40b + (130 – 39)a (mod 130)

N = 40b + 91a (mod 130)

 

Therefore, N modulo 130, in terms of a and b is: N = 40b + 91a (mod 130).

Final answer:

To find the value of n modulo 130 in terms of a and b, one must solve two congruences using the Chinese Remainder Theorem. The solution would require computations beyond the scope of this response and would result in n expressed as a linear combination of a and b modulo 130.

Explanation:

To solve for the values of n modulo 130, given that when n is divided by 10, the remainder is a, and when n is divided by 13, the remainder is b, we can express n in the following forms:

n = 10k + a, where k is some integer

n = 13l + b, where l is some integer

Since 10 and 13 are coprime, Chinese Remainder Theorem tells us that there is a unique solution for n modulo 130 that satisfies both of these congruences. To find n in terms of a and b, we must find k and l such that these two equations give the same n for a particular value of n between 0 and 129 inclusive. This can be done through careful calculations or using a method designed for solving simultaneous congruences.

Once the suitable k and l values are found, the value of n modulo 130 can be stated. Since the exact solution requires more context or computational techniques, we can't provide the specific number in this case, but the final answer will be in the form: n ≡ (something involving a and b) (mod 130).

Solve for z: 3z -5 +2z=25 -5z

Answers

To answer this question you will have to combine like terms.

3z-5+2z=25-5z

Combine 3z and 2z first because they have z in common and are on the same side: 3z+2z=5z

Now you have -5+5z=25-5z

Now you will go ahead and distribute since you can't combine anymore on certain sides.

You can add 5 to 25 on the other side: 25+5=30

Then add 5z to 5z on the other side: 5z+5z=10z

So now your equation should look like this: 10z=30

From here you will have to divide both sides by 10: 10/10=1(since it came to 1 it will just stay as z instead of 1z) 30/10=3

So your solution should come to: z=3

How do you graph y^2=x^3?

Answers

Below I have attached a graph that would show how to graph this.

To graph these types of equations, we need to remember our rules about graphing squared values and cubed values. A squared function will create a parabola, while a cubed function will create a curvy line over the y-axis. 

How do you find the vertex of this parabola? I just plotted the points down on a graphing calculator, but I figure there's a better way.

Answers

When you look at the table, find the y value that has equivalent values on both sides. For example, the y value for the vertex here is 10. After it, the values are 7,-2, and 17, and above it, the values are 7 and -2. This value should also be either the largest y value or smallest y value (depending on whether the parabola opens up or down).

A party rental company has chairs and tables for rent. The total cost to rent 3 chars and 2 tables is $20. The total cost to rent 8 chairs and 4 tables is $45. What is the cost to rent each chair and each table?

Answers

Equations:
8c + 4t = 45
3c + 2t = 20

Modify for elimination: ( multiply 2nd eq by -2)
8c + 4t = 45
-6c + -4t = -40



Subtract and solve for "c":
2c = 5
c = $2.50 (cost of one chair)

Solve for "t":
3c + 2t = 20
3(2.50) + 2t = 20
7.50 + 2t =20

2t=12.50

T= 12.50/2 =6.25
t = $ 6.25 (cost of one table)

 Table = 6.25 each

Chair = 2.50 each


Check:

3(2.50) + 2(6.25) =

7.50 +12.50 = 20

 

8(2.50) + 4(6.25) =

20.00 + 25.00 = 45.00


The mean incubation time for a type of fertilized egg kept at 100.2100.2â°f is 2323 days. suppose that the incubation times are approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 11 dayday. â(a) what is the probability that a randomly selected fertilized egg hatches in less than 2121 âdays? â(b) what is the probability that a randomly selected fertilized egg hatches between 2222 and 2323 âdays? â(c) what is the probability that a randomly selected fertilized egg takes over 2525 days toâ hatch?

Answers

To solve this problem, what we have to do is to calculate for the z scores of each condition then find the probability using the standard normal probability tables for z.

The formula for z score is:

z = (x – u) / s

where,

x = sample value

u = sample mean = 23 days

s = standard deviation = 1 day

 

A. P when x < 21 days

z = (21 – 23) / 1

z = -2

Using the table,

P = 0.0228

Therefore there is a 2.28% probability that the hatching period is less than 21 days.

 

B. P when 23 ≥ x ≥ 22

z (x=22) = (22 – 23)  / 1 = -1

P (z=-1) = 0.1587

 

z (x=23) = (23 – 23) / 1 = 0

P (z=0) = 0.5

 

P = 0.5 - 0.1587 = 0.3413

Therefore there is a 34.13% probability that the hatching period is between 22 and 23 days.

 

C. P when x > 25

z = (25 – 23) / 1

z = 2

P = 0.9772

This is not yet the answer since this probability refers to the left of z. Therefore the correct probability is:

P true = 1 – 0.9772

P true = 0.0228

Therefore there is a 2.28% probability that the hatching period is more than 25 days.

A baby wriggled so much that weighing him at the clinic was a problem. So the doctor held the baby and stood on a scale. Then the nurse held the baby and stood on the scale. Then the doctor held the nurse who held the baby and stood on the scale. the three results were 78 kg, 69 kg and 142 kg respectively. What was the weight of the baby.
Long question but help me out ( it was 69 kg I mean)

Answers

x = weight of the baby.
y = weight of the doctor.
z = weight of the nurse.

x + y = 78 so y = 78 - x
x + z = 69 so z = 69 - x
x + y + z = 142

substitute y = 78 - x and z = 69 - x into x + y + z = 142

x + y + z = 142
x +78 - x + 69 - x = 142
-x + 147 = 142
-x = - 5
 x = 5

answer

the weight of the baby was 5 kg
Let the weight of the baby be B 
weight of the Nurse be N 
weight of the Doctor be D 

Now if we fit those into equations we have:

1. B+D= 78
2. B+N= 69
3. B+D+N= 142

Now take 1 and 3:

B+D= 78 so substitute 78 in the thrid equation were B+D is
78+N= 142 ( what plus 78 will get you 142)
78+64= 142

The nurse's weight is 64 kg

Now that we have the nurses weight. You take the combined weight of the baby and nurse and subtract 64

The baby weighs 5kg

now take the doctors and babies combine weight and subtract 4

The Doctor weighs 73 kg


ANSWER:

The baby weighs 5kg, the nurse weighs 64, and the doctor weighs 74.

Since we have given that

Number of cards in a deck = 52

Number of heart = 13

Number of king = 4

But we know that heart contains one king too.

So, to avoid double counting we have to subtract 1 from it.

so, Number of king = 3

So, Probability that Sam picked a heart or a king is given by

Answers

First, arrange your data from least (smallest number) to greatest (biggest number): {132,140, 142, 147, 149, 152, 158, 163, 165, 166, 168, 171, 173, 177, 178, 180, 180, 181, 182}
Second, subtract your greatest number from your smallest number: 182-132 = 50
Therefore, your answer is: 50

Final answer:

The range of the given set of heights is 50 cm, which is determined by subtracting the smallest height (132 cm) from the largest height (182 cm) in the set.

Explanation:

The range of a set of numbers is the difference between the largest and the smallest numbers in the set. To find the range of the given heights in centimeters, you first identify the largest and smallest numbers in the set {140, 166, 132, 165, 152, 168, 181, 158, 173, 171, 180, 182, 163, 177, 180, 142, 147, 149, 178}. The smallest height is 132 cm, and the largest is 182 cm.

Now, subtract the smallest value from the largest value to determine the range:

Range = Largest value – Smallest value

Range = 182 cm – 132 cm

Range = 50 cm

Therefore, the range of the given set of heights is 50 cm.

What is the measure of RST?

Answers

Answer:

∠TSR = 93°

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached as we know ∠S = [tex]\frac{mQR+mPT}{2}[/tex] [ By the theorem of angles of the intersecting secants in a circle]

∠S = [tex]\frac{131+43}{2}[/tex]

     = [tex]\frac{174}{2}[/tex]

     = 87°

Now we have to find the measure of ∠RST

Since ∠QSR + ∠TSR = 180° [ supplementary angles]

87° + ∠TSR = 180°

∠TSR = 180 - 87 = 93°

Therefore, m∠TSR = 93° is the answer.

Answers

1/10 .the first one is 7 out of 21 of them and the second one is 6 out of 20 , and 7/20 times 6/20 is 1/10

The probability is 0.1  (or 10%).

It is required to find  the probability.

What is probability?

probability is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes and the total number of possible outcomes.

Given that:

The favorable count is determined as follows: considering Green marbles. There are 7 of them in the box, so 7 possible picks at the first draw.

Since you don't replace the pick, at the next drawing there are only 6 Green ones. So for each of the 7 possible first picks, there are 6 possible second picks: number of possibilities is 7 by 6 = 42.

The total number of possible drawings, irrespective of color is determined as follows: there are 21 marbles in total at first drawing, and 20 at second. So, for each first pick there are 20 possibilities, i.e., total number is 21 by 20 = 420

The probability is P = 42 / 420 = 1 / 10 = 0.1  (or 10%)

So, the probability is 0.1  (or 10%).
