Zack has two strings of equal length. One string is red the other is yellow. After cutting 2.5 meters of the red string and 3.8 M of the yellow string, the length of the red string is 1.5 times that of the yellow strain. Find the original length of the yellow string.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

6.4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2 expressions here.  The first one is the fact that r = y.  That's one of 2 equations.  The second one involves whats' left after cutting off certain lengths of each color string.  We cut 2.5 m from red, we cut 3.8 m from yellow.  We know that what's left of red is 1.5 times the length of what's left of yellow.  What's left of red is r - 2.5; what's left of yellow is y - 3.8.  We know that r = 1.5y, so filling that in with our corresponding expressions gives us

r - 2.5 = 1.5(y - 3.8)

Distribute to get

r - 25 = 1.5y - 3.2

Now from the first expression, r = y, so fill in y for r to get an equation in one variable:

y - 2.5 = 1.5y - 3.2

Combine like terms:

-.5y = -3.2 and divide to get

y = 6.4

Check it to make sure it works.  What's left of red should be 1.5 times the length of what's left of yellow and y = 6.4:

What's left of red: 6.4 - 2.5 = 3.9

What's left of yellow: 6.4 - 3.8 = 2.6

1.5 x 2.6 = 3.9, just like it should!

How much meat did they buy altogether? Is the student's answer reasonable? No, the answer is not reasonable. It should be about 12 pounds. No, the answer is not reasonable. It should be about 15 pounds. No, the answer is not reasonable. It should be about 10 pounds. Yes, the answer is reasonable.

Answers

Answer:

D. No the answer is not reasonable. it should be about 10 pounds.

I took the test.

Answer:

No, the answer is not reasonable. It should be about 10 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The quantity of hot dog bought by Jill's club = [tex]4\frac{2}{5}[/tex] pounds,

Hot dog = [tex]3\frac{1}{2}[/tex] pounds

Hamburger = [tex]2\frac{3}{10}[/tex] pounds

So, the total quantity of meat they bought

[tex]=4\frac{2}{5}+3\frac{1}{2}+2\frac{3}{10}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{22}{5}+\frac{7}{2}+\frac{23}{10}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{44+35+23}{10}[/tex]  ( Adding fractions ),

[tex]=\frac{102}{10}[/tex]

[tex]=10.2\text{ pounds}[/tex]

Since, [tex]8\frac{1}{2}=\frac{17}{2}=8.5[/tex]

[tex]\implies 8.5\neq 10.2[/tex]

Hence, the student's answer is not reasonable it should be about 10 pounds.

Given equation of height is:

h(t)= -[tex]16t^{2} +160t+300[/tex]

Now, the exceeded to 500 feet.

So,

-[tex]16t^{2} +160t+300[/tex]=500

16[tex]t^{2}[/tex] -160 t +200=0

Now, solve for t: a=16, b= -160, c= 200

D= [tex]\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac }[/tex]

 = [tex]\sqrt{(-160)^{2}-4*16*200 }[/tex]

As D>0 then,

x= [tex]\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac }}{2a}[/tex]

x= (160 ±80√2)/32

x=  (160 +80√2)/32   or x= (160 -80√2)/32

How can the radian measure of an angle determine the arc length on the unit circle?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Arc length is defined as:

s = rθ

where r is the radius and θ is the angle in radians

A unit circle has a radius of 1, so the arc length is equal to the radian measure of the angle.

The radian measure determines the arc length on the unit circle using the formula s = θ for a unit circle (radius = 1). Radians, being a ratio of arc length to radius, allow for direct conversion between angle and arc length, facilitating calculations and conversions between radians and degrees.

The radian measure of an angle can determine the arc length on the unit circle by using the formula arc length (s) = radius (r) × angle in radians (θ). Since the unit circle has a radius of 1, this simplifies to s = θ. The concept of radians is crucial here; a radian is defined as the ratio of the arc length to the radius of the circle, making it a dimensionless unit. This relationship remains constant regardless of the circle's size, meaning the radian measure directly gives the arc length on the unit circle.

For a full revolution of 2π radians (360 degrees), the arc length is equal to the circumference of the circle, which is 2πr. In the case of the unit circle, this equates to an arc length of 2π. This principle allows for the conversion between radians and degrees, and calculation of arc lengths for any given angle measured in radians.

The area of the base of a rectangular prism is 36 cm2. The height of the prism is 3 5 6 cm. What is the volume of the prism?

Answers

Answer:

138 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question that base of the rectangular prism = 36 cm²

Height of the prism = 3 5/6 cm = 23/6

We know that the volume of a rectangular prism with base area B and height H is given by

Volume = B(H)

Plug values in the formula above to find the volume of the prism

Volume = 36(23/6)

              = 6(23)

              = 138 cm³

So the volume of prism = 138 cm³

Which answer is the approximate standard deviation of the data set?

Answers

Answer:

3.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard deviation of a population is defined as:

σ² = ∑(xᵢ − μ)² / n

The standard deviation of a sample is defined as:

s² = ∑(xᵢ − x)² / (n - 1)

It's not clear which one we have, so let's calculate both.

First, we must find the mean.

μ = (5+12+15+10+12+6+8+8) / 8

μ = 9.5

Now we find the squares of the differences:

(5-9.5)² + (12-9.5)² + (15-9.5)² + (10-9.5)² + (12-9.5)² + (6-9.5)² + (8-9.5)² + (8-9.5)²

= 80

Divide by n:

σ² = 80 / 8

σ² = 10

And take the square root:

σ = √10

σ ≈ 3.2

That's not one of the answers, so let's try the standard deviation of a sample instead of a population.

Instead of dividing by n, we'll divide by n-1:

s² = 80 / 7

And take the square root:

s = √(80/7)

s ≈ 3.4

So that must be it.

Emma and Sydney go to the movie theater and purchase refreshments for their friends.

Emma spends a total of $25.50 on 7 drinks and 2 bags of popcorn.

Sydney spends a total of $52.50 on 5 drinks and 10 bags of popcorn.

Write a system of equations that can be used to find the price of one drink and the price of one bag of popcorn.

Using these equations, determine and state the price of a bag of popcorn, to the nearest cent.

Answers

25.50 = 7d + 2p

52.50 = 5d + 10p

These are the two equations we're going to use to determine the price of popcorn.

First we need to eliminate one set of variables. Let's eliminate the drinks.

127.50 = 35d + 10p

-367.50 = -35d + -70p

-240 = 0d - 60p

-240 = -60p

P = 4.00

So, popcorn is $4, right? Let's keep working on the problem so we can double check...

So, now let's add the $4 as the variable for P.

25.50 = 7d + 8

52.50 = 5d + 40

17.50 = 7d

12.5 = 5d

d = 2.5

d=2.5

This checks out! Since both equations state that drinks are 2.50, that means we have the right pricing for popcorn... $4.00

Popcorn is $4.00, drinks are $2.50

Thomas wants to make a box with no lid out of a cardboard sheet to hold a marble collection. He plans to cut out four congruent squares from all corners of the sheet and then fold up the sides to make the box.


Thomas buys a cardboard sheet that is 8 by 12 inches. Let x be the side length of each cutout. Create an equation for the volume of the box, find the zeroes, and sketch the graph of the function.

What is the size of the cutout he needs to make so that he can fit the most marbles in the box?

If Thomas wants a volume of 12 cubic inches, what size does the cutout need to be? What would be the dimensions of this box?


This has to do with polynomials by factoring.


Please EXPLAIN IT so that I UNDERSTAND it. Don't just give me the answer. THANK YOU so much in advance. :)

Answers

Answer:

Question 1: x = 0,6,4

Step-by-step explanation:

#1. If we let x be the side of the cut-out square, the formula for the volume of the box is

[tex]\text{Volume} = (12 - 2x)(8 - 2x)(x).[/tex]

Expanding gives us

[tex]\text{Volume} = 4x^3 - 40x^2 + 96x. [/tex]

To find the zeros, we need to set the equation to 0, and the values of x that would result to zero would be:

[tex]x = 0, 6, 4[/tex]

As how it is told 'he' wanted to make a box with no lid for his marble connection, 'he' wants to cut out four "Identical" squares from all of the corners of the sheet (which I'm assuming is that there is four corners) and by doing so he then wants to fold all the sides...

So he buys one that is 8 by 12 inches, so you can draw a box that is (8, 12) put an 'x' at all four corners and 'cut' it the corners out.

Here's the formula that you can use... Which could be either one I guess..

-Cube = a 3

-- a is the side length

-Rectangular prism = a * b * c

-- a, b, c are the length, width, and height

The volume of a cube is side times side times side. Since each side of a square is the same, it can simply be the length of one side cubed. If a square has one side of 4 inches, the volume would be 4 inches times 4 inches times 4 inches, or 64 cubic inches.

Once you found a function I think you should use the quadratic equation, which is- y=x2-20x+96

And you could use that equation to graph it out... But if they want it to be the volume of 12 cubic inches then er-... Yeah that's were i'm stumped at... My apologies..

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the theoretical probability here, we need three inputs:  1) the number of trials (which here is 7); the probability of success (which here is 0.75); and an integer representing the particular outcome (which here would be r:  {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}.

(a)  Most of today's calculators have probability distribution functions built in.  I've used binompdf(n,p,r) here.  i. P(2) = 0.012 is correct; it's the result of typing in binompdf(7,0.75,2).  ii. P(3) = 0.058 is correct.  iii. P(4) = 0.005  is false; this probability is 0.173.  iv. P(5) = 0.015 is false.   v.  P(6) = 0.311 is correct.

(b) The probability that at least four trials are successful is equivalent to P(4) + P(5) + P(6) + P(7).   Another way in which to calculate this would be to add up P(0) + P(1) + P(2) + P(3) and subtract the resulting sum from 1.00:  That comes to:  1 - (0.000 + 0.001 + 0.012 + 0.058), or 1 - 0.071, or 0.929
