Delaney would like to make a 5 lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds. She has several pounds of peanuts and several pounds of a mixture that is 20% peanuts and 80% almonds. Let p represent the number of pounds of peanuts needed to make the new mixture, and let m represent the number of pounds of the 80% almond-20% peanut mixture.


(a) What is the system that models this situation?


(b) Which of the following is a solution to the system: 2 lb peanuts and 3 lb mixture (2,3) ; 2.5 lb peanuts and 2.5 lb mixture (2.5, 2.5); 4 lb peanuts and 1 lb mixture (4,1) ? Show your work.  Please help me :'(

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) [tex]\left\{\begin{array}{l}0.8m=2\\p+0.2m=3\end{array}\right.[/tex]

(b) correct choice is 2.5 lb peanuts and 2.5 lb mixture (2.5, 2.5);

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the number of pounds of peanuts needed to make the new mixture, and let m represent the number of pounds of the 80% almond-20% peanut mixture.

1. In m pounds of the 80% almond-20% peanut mixture there are 0.8m pounds of almonds and 0.2m pounds of peanuts.

2. When added p pounds of peanuts to m pounds of mixture, you get (p+0.2m) pounds of peanuts and 0.8m pounds of almonds.

3. In 5 pounds of the 40% almond-60% peanut mixture there are [tex]0.6\cdot 5=3[/tex] pounds of peanut and [tex]0.4\cdot 5=2[/tex] pounds of almonds.

(a) Then you get a system of two equations:

[tex]\left\{\begin{array}{l}0.8m=2\\p+0.2m=3\end{array}\right.[/tex]

(b) Solve this system. From the first equation

[tex]m=\dfrac{2}{0.8}=2.5\ pounds,[/tex]

then

[tex]p+0.2\cdot 2.5=3,\\ \\p=3-0.5,\\ \\p=2.5\ pounds.[/tex]

a vehicle with power steering makes a hissing or whirring sound when the wheel is turned all the way to the stops. Technician A says that this is a normal condition. Technician B says a loud squealing noise during sharp turns may be caused by worn ball joints. who is correct?

Answers

Answer:

Technician B only

Step-by-step explanation:

Clunking Noises From the Front Suspension. One of the most common symptoms of a problem with suspension ball joints is clunking noises coming from the vehicle's front suspension. ... Usually, the clunking will get continuously louder as the ball joints wear out, or until they eventually completely fail and break.

Final answer:

Technician B is correct. A loud squealing noise during sharp turns may be caused by worn ball joints and indicates a potential issue with the suspension system.

Explanation:

Technician B is correct. A loud squealing noise during sharp turns can indeed be caused by worn ball joints. This indicates a potential issue with the suspension system which includes components like ball joints. On the other hand, a hissing or whirring sound when the wheel is turned all the way to the stops in a vehicle with power steering is not typically considered a normal condition.

is the following a function?

Answers

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

For this to be a function there must be only 1 value of y ( range) for any given value of x in the domain.

This is not the case here as

x  = - 1 → y = - 2 and x = 6 → y = - 2

Therefore the relation is not a function


Yes because there are different inputs. There is not one that is the same. Remember there can only be 1 input and 1 output. However if -2 has two different inputs, then it’s still considered a function since the inputs are different. Hope this helps :)

write an equation for the nth term of the geometric sequence 5, 10, 20, 40

Answers

First term: 5
Factor by which next term is found : 2
term= 5*2^(n-1)
Check: for the fourth term, 5*2^(4-1)=40

Final answer:

The nth term of the geometric sequence 5, 10, 20, 40 is given by the formula T_n = 5 × 2ⁿ⁻¹.

Explanation:

To write an equation for the nth term of the geometric sequence 5, 10, 20, 40, we need to determine the first term (a) and the common ratio (r). In this sequence, the first term a=5 and the common ratio r can be found by dividing the second term by the first term (r=10/5=2).

The formula for the nth term (Tn) of a geometric sequence is given by Tn = a × rⁿ⁻¹.

So, for the given sequence, the nth term can be expressed as:

Tn = 5 × 2ⁿ⁻¹.

1. Draw a figure for the information given in the problems.

2. Using the correct trig function, write out the mathematical problem.

3. Solve the problem to find the missing sides.

Answers

Answer:

Height of the kite is [tex]=50 \sqrt{3}[/tex] meters.

Ground distance from the kite to the person flying the kite is 50 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a string of a kite is 100 meters long and it makes an angle of 60° with horizontal.

Which mans we are getting a shape of right angle triangle as shown in picture. Where "y" is the height of the kite and "x" is the ground distance from the kite to the person flying the kite. Now we can use trigonometric ratios to find the values of x and y.


[tex]\sin\left(60^o\right)=\frac{\left[opposite\right]}{\left[hypotenuse\right]}=\frac{y}{100}[/tex]

[tex]\sin\left(60^o\right)=\frac{y}{100}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{y}{100}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}*100=y[/tex]

[tex]50 \sqrt{3}=y[/tex]

Hence height of the kite is [tex]=50 \sqrt{3}[/tex] meters.


similarly:


[tex]\cos\left(60^o\right)=\frac{\left[adjcent\right]}{\left[hypotenuse\right]}=\frac{x}{100}[/tex]

[tex]\cos\left(60^o\right)=\frac{x}{100}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2}=\frac{x}{100}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2}*100=x[/tex]

[tex]50=x[/tex]

Hence ground distance from the kite to the person flying the kite is 50 meters.


The height of the kite and the distance from kite to person are 86.6 meters and 50 meters respectively.

Using Trigonometry concept ;

The height of the kite , y can be obtained thus ;

Sine = opposite / Hypotenus

Sin(60°) = y / 100

y = sin(60°) × 100

y = 86.6 meters

B.)

The distance from the kite to the person would be ;

Tangent = opposite / Adjacent

Tan(60) = 86.6667 / x

d = 86.6667 / Tan(60)

d = 50 meters

Therefore, the height of the kite and the distance from kite to person are 86.6 meters and 50 meters respectively.

The elevation we call sea level is actually the average level of the sea. This means that at average sea level, the elevation is zero. In reality, the level of the sea rises and falls in what are called tides. Low tide is the point of lowest sea level in a tidal period. High tide is the point of highest sea level in a tidal period. The height above or below average sea level is called elevation. An elevation below sea level is considered a negative value, while an elevation above sea level is positive.

The original sale price of an item at markdowns is $110.95. You have an additional 20% off coupon for markdowns for purchases totaling $90.00 or more. Using the coupon, how much more do save when compared to the original sale price?

Answers

Answer:

$22.19

Step-by-step explanation:

20% off the original price = $110.95 - (20% x $110.95)

20% x $110.95 = $22.19

$110.95 - $22.19 = $88.76

difference = $110.95 - $88.76 = $22.19

Answer:

You will save $22.19 when compared to the original sale price.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original sale price of an item at markdowns is $110.95.

You have an additional 20% off coupon for markdowns for purchases totaling $90.00 or more.

So, this becomes:

[tex]0.20\times110.95=22.19[/tex] dollars

Valerie sold 42 tickets to the school play and mark sold 24 tickets. what is the ratio of the number of tickets Valerie sold to the number of tickets mark sold?

Answers

The ratio of tickets sold by Valerie to those sold by Mark is 7:4, after simplifying the original ratio of 42:24 by dividing both numbers by 6.

To find the ratio of tickets sold by Valerie to those sold by Mark, we simply compare the two quantities. Valerie sold 42 tickets, and Mark sold 24 tickets. Therefore, the ratio can be expressed as 42:24. This ratio can be simplified by dividing both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is 6 in this case. Thus, after simplification, the ratio of tickets sold by Valerie to Mark is 7:4. This process illustrates the method of comparing quantities and simplifying ratios, providing a clear and concise representation of the relative ticket sales between Valerie and Mark.

A graph of a trapezoid can have diagonals with slopes that are negative reciprocals and two pairs of adjacent sides that are congruent. True or False Explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer: False

Explanation: What this statement describes is not a trapezoid, but rather a kite. A kite is a quadrilateral with two sides that are next to each other (ie adjacent) that are congruent. This is the result of combining two congruent triangles together. The diagonals of any kite are perpendicular, which is another way of saying "the diagonals have slope that are negative reciprocals".

If you had adjacent sides congruent, and a pair of parallel opposite sides, then the other two opposite sides must be parallel as well, but this would make the figure a parallelogram and not a trapezoid. This is another way to see why the answer is false.

Answers

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Given a geometric sequence as

66 a0, -11, 22, 56 a1, 88, -176

We have to find the common ratio and also the missing numbers.

A geometric sequence, is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio.

Hence by comparing two consecutive numbers let us find common ratio.

Consider 88 and -176.  -176 = 88(-2) Hence common ratio is -2

a0 = -11/-2 = 5.5

a1 = 88/-2 = -44

Missing terms are -132 and 5.5

common ratio = -2

height = √(196 - 144)

height = √52

height = 7.2


The answer would be 7.2 centimeters.


C. 7.2 centimeters

How do you calculate the Pythagorean theorem?

a 2 + b 2 = c 2. This is known as Pythagorean equation, named after the ancient Greek thinker Pythagoras. This relationship is useful because if 2 sides of the right triangle are known, the Pythagorean theorem could be used to determine the length of the 3rd side. Referencing the above diagram, if. a = 3 and b = 4

Using the Pythagorean theorem we can find the height of the triangle:

height = √(14^2 - 12^2)

height = √(196 - 144)

height = √52

height = 7.2

The answer would be 7.2 centimeters.

a farmer bought a number of pigs for $180. However, 3 of them died before he could sell the rest at a profit of 8 per pig. His total profit was $109. how many pigs did he originally buy?

Answers

The farmer originally bought 41 pigs.

Let x be the number of pigs the farmer originally bought.The total cost of the pigs is $180.After 3 died, he was left with x - 3 pigs.He sold these pigs at a profit of $8 per pig,Resulting in a total profit of 8(x - 3).We know his total profit was $109. So, we can set up an equation:Profit = Selling price - Cost price

8(x - 3) = 109 (his total profit) + 180 (cost price)

Combining like terms:

8x - 24 = 289

Adding 24 to both sides:

8x = 313

Dividing both sides by 8:

x = 39.125

Since the farmer can't buy parts of pigs, we round x up to the nearest whole number, which is 40.However, there's a slight discrepancy because the profit wouldn't be exactly $109 if he had 40 pigs. This is because the profit is calculated per pig, and a fraction of a pig wouldn't generate a proportional profit.Therefore, let's try with x = 41:Profit = 8(41 - 3)

= 8 * 38

= $304

Total earnings = Profit + Cost price

= $304 + $180 = $484

Since the cost price is $180 and the total earnings are $484,The profit would be $484 - $180 = $304, This matches the calculation with 8 pigs sold at a profit of $8 each.

Therefore, the farmer originally bought 41 pigs.
