Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\dfrac{12}{x-7},[/tex]

[tex]x\neq 7,\ x\neq -3.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the expression

[tex]\dfrac{12x+36}{x^2-4x-21}.[/tex]

1. The numerator can be factored as

[tex]12x+36=12(x+3).[/tex]

2. The denominator [tex]x^2-4x-21[/tex] has the discriminant

[tex]D=(-4)^2-4\cdot (-21)\cdot 1=16+84=100.[/tex]

Then

[tex]x_{1,2}=\dfrac{-(-4)\pm \sqrt{100}}{2\cdot 1}=\dfrac{4\pm 10}{2}=7,\ -3.[/tex]

Then

[tex]x^2-4x-21=(x-7)(x+3).[/tex]

Note that restrictions on the variable x are [tex]x\neq 7,\ x\neq -3.[/tex]

3. Simplify the fraction:

[tex]\dfrac{12x+36}{x^2-4x-21}=\dfrac{12(x+3)}{(x-7)(x+3)}=\dfrac{12}{x-7}.[/tex]

A $17.00
B $34.00
C $8.50
D $0.85
E $4.25

Answers

Answer:

Answer is: A

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it is.

Answer:

A. $17.00

Step-by-step explanation:

$5.10 for 6 quarts.

Unit cost: ($5.10)/(6 qt) = $0.85/qt

Price for 5 gallons:

1 gallon = 4 quarts

5 gallons = 5 * 4 quarts = 20 quarts

Price for 5 gallons = unit price * number of quarts

Price for 5 gallons = $0.85/qt * 20 qt = $17.00

find the area of washers whose external and internal diameter are 1.2m and 0.9m

Answers

Answer:

0.49 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) is calculated using A = πr² ( r is the radius )

A = external area - internal area

external radius = [tex]\frac{1.2}{2}[/tex] = 0.6

internal radius = [tex]\frac{0.9}{2}[/tex] = 0.45

A = π(0.6² - 0.45²)

   = π(0.36 - 0.2025) = 0.1575π ≈ 0.49 m²


Final answer:

The area of the washers is 0.49m².

Explanation:

To find the area of the washers, we need to find the areas of the outer and inner circles and then subtract the smaller area from the larger one. The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr², where r is the radius of the circle. In this case, the external diameter is 1.2m, so the radius is half of that, or 0.6m. The area of the outer circle is A₁ = π(0.6)² = 1.13m². Similarly, the radius of the inner circle is 0.45m, and the area of the inner circle is A₂ = π(0.45)² = 0.64m². Finally, the area of the washer is the difference between the two areas: A = A₁ - A₂ = 1.13m² - 0.64m² = 0.49m².

There are 225 dozen cookies in the bakery. How many cookies are there?

Answers

Answer:

2700 cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

A dozen is a grouping of twelve, that is a dozen = 12.

If there are 225 dozen cookies in the bakery, then there are

[tex]225\cdot 12=2700[/tex] cookies in the bakery.

there are 2700 cookies in total

Since there are 225 dozen cookies in the bakery, we need to determine the total number of cookies.

To convert dozen to individual units, we multiply the number of dozens ( 225 )  by 12, as there are 12 cookies in each dozen :

225 dozen * 12 cookies / dozen = 2700 cookies

Therefore, there are 2700 cookies in total. By multiplying the number of dozens by 12, we account for the fact that each dozen contains 12 cookies. This calculation allows us to determine the precise quantity of cookies in the bakery.

Brian rented the book for 12 days.

Brian rented a book with the condition that the shop charges $2 for the first day and $3 from the second day onwards. He paid a total of $35 upon returning the book. To determine how many days he kept the book, we must calculate the cost for each day and subtract the initial $2 from the total amount paid.

Steps to Calculate the Number of Days:

Subtract the first day's charge from the total amount: $35 - $2 = $33.Divide the remaining amount by the daily charge starting from the second day: $33 / $3 = 11 days.Add the first day to the result: 11 days + 1 day = 12 days.

Therefore, Brian kept the book with him for 12 days.

Morita outs 10 flowers in each case.2/10 of the flowers are daisies.Morita makes 4 arrangements.

We know that Morita arranges 4 cases, each of them has 10 flowers.

So, if there are 2/10 daisies per case, that means each can contains 2 daisies.

But, she did 4 arrangements. There are 2x4 = 8 daisies in total.

Now, last weekend, Morita used 10 daisies to make flower arrangements, and we know she tend to use 2/10 of the flowers as daisies, that means this fraction represents daisies,

[1 mile = 1.6 km]
a- 0.2
b- 0.5
c- 0.8
d- 1.4

Answers

Answer:

We have the following given

mileage = 70 miles per gallon

distance = 60 km


Required: amount of fuel in gallons


First, we must convert the distance to miles, so

60 km (1 mi/1.6 km) = 37.5 mi


So, the amount of fuel is

37.5 mi / (70 mi/gal) = 0.54 gallon


Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

70 miles * [1.6 km/mile] = 112 km

Notice when you multiply by km/mile by miles the miles cancel out.

1 gallon will get 112 km

please help, i am loosing a braincell each day

Answers

Answer:

Volume of tray =[tex]4x^{3} -60x^{2} +216x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The Dimensions of rectangular cardboard is given by 12 inches by 18 inches

Length of the rectangular cardboard = 18 inches

Width of the rectangular cardboard = 12 inches

if the square of sides x inches is cut from each corner of the rectangular cardboard and folded to make a tray, then we have

Length of the tray = length of cardboard - 2 (side of the square )

                               = [tex]18-2x[/tex]

Width of the tray = width of cardboard - 2( side of square)

                            = [tex]12-2x[/tex]

height of tray = sides of square

                       = x

volume of tray = Length × width × height

Volume of tray = [tex]x(18-2x)(12-2x)[/tex]

first we multiply (12-2x) and (18-2x)

Volume of tray =[tex]x(18(12-2x)-2x(12-2x))\\[/tex]

                         =[tex]x(216-36x-24x+4x^{2})[/tex]

                         =[tex]x(4x^{2}-60x+ 216)[/tex]

                         =[tex]4x^{3} -60x^{2} +216x[/tex]

Hence the volume of tray =[tex]4x^{3} -60x^{2} +216x[/tex]


The volume of the Tray is given by the equation [tex]4x^3-60x^2+216x[/tex] and this can be determined by using the given data.

Given :

Lucy cuts 4 squares with side length x in. from the corners of a 12 in. by 18 in. cardboard rectangle. She folds the remaining cardboard to make a tray that is x in.

If the square is cut from each corner of the cardboard and folded to make a tray, then according to the given data:

Tray length = 18 - 2x

Tray width = 12 - 2x

Tray height = x

Now, the volume of the tray is given by the expression:

The volume of Tray = [tex]x(12-2x)(18-2x)[/tex]

Simplify, the above expression.

[tex]\rm Volume = (12x - 2x^2)(18-2x)[/tex]

[tex]\rm Volume = 216x -24x^2-36x^2+4x^3[/tex]

[tex]\rm Volume = 4x^3-60x^2+216x[/tex]

in the figure above CD is the perpendicular bisector of AB. three students explained how they proved ADC is congruent to BDC
who's explanation is incorrect??

Answers

Answer:

All explanations are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

In triangle ABC, CD is the perpendicular bisector of AB, thus using ΔADC and ΔBDC,

AC=BC ( Since CD is perpendicular to AB, therefore C is equidistant from both A and B)

∠ADC=∠BDC=90°(CD perpendicular AB)

CD=CD( Reflexive property)

therefore, by SAS rule of congruency,

ΔADC≅ ΔBDC,

Also, In the same triangles, AC=BC ( Since CD is perpendicular to AB, therefore C is equidistant from both A and B)

CD=CD( Reflexive property)

AD=BD (D is the midpoint and divides AB into two equal halves)

Thus, by SSS rule of congruency,

ΔADC≅ ΔBDC,

Thus, all the three explanations are correct.

In the given case, we can conclude that All explanations are correct

In triangle ABC, let CD be the perpendicular bisector of AB. We can use the properties of triangles to demonstrate that ΔADC is congruent to ΔBDC.

AC=BC: This holds true because CD is perpendicular to AB, making point C equidistant from both A and B.

∠ADC=∠BDC=90°: Since CD is perpendicular to AB, both angles ADC and BDC are right angles.

CD=CD: This is a reflexive property, stating that any line segment is equal to itself.

By applying the SAS (Side-Angle-Side) rule of congruency using the above properties, we can conclude that ΔADC is congruent to ΔBDC.

Furthermore, we can establish that in these congruent triangles:

AC=BC (since C is equidistant from A and B due to CD being perpendicular to AB).

CD=CD (reflexive property).

AD=BD (as D is the midpoint of AB).

Hence, using the SSS (Side-Side-Side) rule of congruency, we can also conclude that ΔADC is congruent to ΔBDC.

Therefore, all three explanations correctly demonstrate the congruence of these triangles.

A scientist is studying the growth rates of three samples of bacteria in different conditions. The following three functions represent the number of bacteria in the three samples after x hours.


Order the samples by their average growth rate over the interval [1, 3], from least to greatest.

coordinate is (3, 675)

Average growth rate (AGR) is: [tex]\dfrac{675-300}{3-1} = \dfrac{375}{2} = 187.5[/tex]

AGR (A) = 187.5

Lastly, let's evaluate the growth rate of C from [1, 3]

f(x) = 600(1.2)ˣ

f(x) = 600(1.2)¹

     = 720

coordinate is (1, 720)

f(x) = 600(1.2)³

Logarithms: the Inverse of Exponents

In a sense, we can think of operations like subtraction and division as different ways of representing addition and multiplication. For instance, the same relationship described by the equation 2 + 3 = 5 is captured in the equation 5 - 3 = 2, and 5 × 2 = 10 can be restated as 10 ÷ 2 = 5 without any loss of meaning.

Logarithms do the same thing for exponents: the expression [tex]2^3=8[/tex] can be expressed in logarithms as [tex]\log_28=3[/tex]. Put another way, logarithms are a sort of way of pulling an exponent out onto its own side of the equals sign.

The Problem

Our problem gives us two facts to start: that [tex]log_p(x^2y^3)=7[/tex] and [tex]p^5=y[/tex]. With that, we're expected to find the value of [tex]\log_px[/tex]. [tex]p^5=y[/tex] stands out as the odd-equation-out here; it's the only one not in terms of logarithms. We can fix that by rewriting it as the equivalent statement [tex]log_py=5[/tex]. Now, let's unpack that first logarithm.

Justifying Some Logarithm Rules

For a refresher, let's talk about some of the rules logarithms follow and why they follow them:

Product Rule: [tex]\log_b(MN)=\log_bM+\log_bN[/tex]

The product rule turns multiplication in the argument (parentheses) of a logarithm into addition. For a proof of this, consider two numbers [tex]M=b^x[/tex] and [tex]N=b^y[/tex]. We could rewrite these two equations with logarithms as [tex]\log_bM=x[/tex] and [tex]\log_bN=y[/tex]. With those in mind, we could say the following:

[tex]\log_b(MN)=\log_b(b^xb^y)[/tex] (Substitution)[tex]\log_b(b^xb^y)=log_b(b^{x+y})[/tex] (Laws of exponents)[tex]\log_b(b^{x+y})=x+y[/tex] ([tex]\log_b(b^n)=n[/tex])[tex]x+y=\log_bM+\log_bN[/tex] (Substitution)

And we have our proof.

Exponent Rule: [tex]\log_b(M^n)=n\log_bM[/tex]

Since exponents can be thought of as abbreviations for repeated multiplication, we can rewrite [tex]\log_b(M^n)[/tex] as [tex]\log_b(M\times M\cdots \times M)[/tex], where M is being multiplied by itself n times. From there, we can use the product rule to rewrite our logarithm as the sum [tex]\log_bM+\log_bM+\cdots+\log_bM[/tex], and since we have the term [tex]\log_bM[/tex] added n times, we can rewrite is as [tex]n\log_bM[/tex], proving the rule.

Solving the Problem

With those rules in hand, we're ready to solve the problem. Looking at the equation [tex]\log_p(x^2y^3)=7[/tex], we can use the product rule to split the logarithm into the sum [tex]\log_p(x^2)+\log_p(y^3)=7[/tex], and then use the product rule to turn the exponents in each logarithm's argument into coefficients, giving the equation [tex]2\log_px+3\log_py=7[/tex].

Remember how earlier we rewrote [tex]p^5=y[/tex] as [tex]log_py=5[/tex]? We can now use that fact to substitute 5 in for [tex]log_py[/tex], giving us

[tex]2\log_px+3(5)=7[/tex]

From here, we can simply solve the equation for [tex]\log_px[/tex]:

[tex]2\log_px+15=7\\2\log_px=-8\\\\\log_px=-4[/tex]

If a figure reflected across x-axis, then x-coordinate remains the same but the sign of y-coordinate is changed.

[tex](x,y)\rightarrow (x,-y)[/tex]

[tex](4,8)\rightarrow (4,-8)[/tex]

Therefore image of (2,4) is (4,-8) and option 1 is correct.

what is 3/20 as a percentage

Answers

Answer:

15%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent means out of 100.  Lets get the denominator out of 100

3/20 * 5/5  = 15/100

This is 15%

Final answer:

To convert the fraction 3/20 to a percentage, first convert it to a decimal by dividing 3 by 20. Then, multiply the decimal by 100 to get the percentage.

Explanation:

To express 3/20 as a percentage, you can multiply the fraction by 100. The calculation is (3/20) * 100 = 15%. Therefore, 3/20 as a percentage is 15%. This means that 3 out of every 20 parts represent 15% of the whole. In percentage terms, it provides a convenient way to compare the fraction to 100, making it easier to understand its relative size or portion in relation to the total. In this case, 15% indicates the proportion of the whole that is represented by the fraction 3/20.

Mrs Wong is going on a trip. She has 14 books that she hasn’t read yet but she wants to bring only 2 on the trip. In how many ways can she choose 2 books to bring on the trip

Answers

Final answer:

In combinatorics, we use the combination formula to calculate the number of ways Mrs. Wong can choose 2 books out of 14. The result is 91 ways.

Explanation:

The subject of this question is combinatorics, a topic in mathematics dealing with combinations of objects belonging to a finite set in accordance with certain constraints, such as those specified in this question. In this case, Mrs. Wong has 14 special objects (books) and wants to choose 2 out of them.

We use the combination formula in this scenario. The combination formula is given by C(n, r) = n! / [(n-r)!*r!], where n represents the total number of objects, r is the number of objects to choose, and '!' denotes factorial.

Substituting n as 14 and r as 2 into the formula, we get: C(14,2) = 14! / [(14-2)!*2!] = 91.

Therefore, Mrs. Wong can choose 2 books out of 14 in 91 different ways.

Final answer:

The question is about combinations in mathematics. Using the formula for combinations, we find that Mrs. Wong can choose 2 books out of 14 in 91 different ways.

Explanation:

This is a problem of combinations in mathematics. Mrs. Wong can choose two out of 14 unread books in a certain number of ways, and we're tasked to find that number.

Considering that order of selection does not matter, we can use the formula for combination: nCr = n! / r!(n-r)!. Here, 'n' is the total number of items, 'r' is the items to be chosen.

 

So the combinations she can make, denoted as 14C2, can be calculated like this:

14C2 = 14! / 2!(14-2)! = (14*13) / (2*1) = 91 ways

Therefore, Mrs Wong can choose 2 books out of 14 in 91 ways.
