Answer 1

Answer: [tex]\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{7}{10}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A or B = A+B

Given: In a fish tank, [tex]\dfrac15[/tex] of the fish are guppies and [tex]\dfrac{1}{12}[/tex] of the fish are goldfish.

Then,  the fraction of the fish that are guppies or goldfish in the tank=[tex]\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{2+5}{5\times2}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{7}{10}[/tex]

Hence, the equation most closely estimates the fraction of the fish that are guppies or goldfish in the tank:

[tex]\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{7}{10}[/tex]

Consider line A which is defined by the equation:
y=5/6x-5/2
and the point P(-3,6) and then answer the following questions:
a. How would you find the line (B) that passes through point P and is perpendicular to line A? What is the equation of that line?
b. How would you find the length of the segment of line B from point P to line A?
c. How would you find the midpoint between point P and the intersection of line A and line B ?

Answers

Answer:

y = -6/5x +12/5distance from P to A: (66√61)/61 ≈ 8.4504midpoint: (-18/61, 168/61) ≈ (-0.2951, 2.7541)

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The slope of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line, so is ...

  m = -1/(5/6) = -6/5

Then the point-slope form of the desired line through (-3, 6) can be written as ...

  y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . line with slope m through (h, k)

  y = (-6/5)(x +3) +6

  y = -6/5x +12/5 . . . equation of line B

__

b. The distance from point P to the intersection point (X) can be found from the formula for the distance from a point to a line.

When the line's equation is written in general form, ax+by+c=0, the distance from point (x, y) to the line is ...

  d = |ax +by +c|/√(a² +b²)

The equation of line A can be written in general form as ...

  y = 5/6x -5/2

  6y = 5x -15

  5x -6y -15 = 0

Then the distance from P to the line is ...

  d = |5(-3) -6(6) -15|/√(5² +(-6)²) = 66/√61

The length of segment PX is (66√61)/61.

__

c. To find the midpoint, we need to know the point of intersection, X. We find that by solving the simultaneous equations ...

  y = 5/6x -5/2

  y = -6/5x +12/5

Equating y-values gives ...

  5/6x -5/2 = -6/5x +12/5

Adding 6/5x +5/2 gives ...

  x(5/6+6/5) = 12/5 +5/2

  x(61/30) = 49/10

  x = (49/10)(30/61) = 147/61

  y = 5/6(147/61) -5/2 = -30/61

Then the point of intersection of the lines is X = (147/61, -30/61).

So, the midpoint of PX is ...

  M = (P +X)/2

  M = ((-3, 6) +(147/61, -30/61))/2

  M = (-18/61, 168/61)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a circle = pi*r²

Volume = area*height

(pi*r²)*14

Since your answers are with Pi omit the Pi and times 3² * 14 = 126 pie cm³

Answer:

A. 126pi cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder can be found using the following formula.

[tex]v=\pi r^2 h[/tex]

First, we must find the radius. The radius is half of the diameter.

[tex]r=\frac{d}{2}[/tex]

The diameter of the cylinder is 6 cm.

[tex]r=\frac{6cm}{2}[/tex]

[tex]r= 3cm[/tex]

The radius is 3 cm.

Now, we can substitute values into the formula.

[tex]v=\pi r^2 h[/tex]

[tex]r= 3cm\\h=14 cm[/tex]

[tex]v=\pi (3cm)^2*14 cm[/tex]

Evaluate the exponent.

[tex](3cm)^2=3cm*3cm=9cm^2[/tex]

[tex]v=\pi*9cm^2*14cm[/tex]

Multiply 9 cm^2 and 14 cm

[tex]9 cm^2*14cm=126cm^3[/tex]

[tex]v=\pi*126cm^3[/tex]

The answer choices are in terms of pi, so we can simply rearrange our answer:

[tex]v=126\pi cm^3[/tex]

The volume of the cylinder is 126pi cubic centimeters and A is the correct answer.

The admission fee at an amusement park is $3.50 for children and $6.80 for adults. On a certain day, 223 people entered the park, and the admission fees collected totaled 1160 dollars. How many children and how many adults were admitted?

Answers

Answer:

108 children and 115 adults were admitted

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a system of equations where c is the number of children admitted and a is the number of adults admitted:

c + a = 223

3.5c + 6.8a = 1160

Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by -3.5:

-3.5c - 3.5a = -780.5

3.5c + 6.8a = 1160

Add the equations together and solve for a:

3.3a = 379.5

a = 115

So, 115 adults were admitted.

Find how many children were admitted by subtracting 115 from 223, the total number of people admitted:

223 - 115

= 108

108 children and 115 adults were admitted.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the polygon to consist of 2 rectangles, rectangle X (The bigger rectangular) and Y(the smaller rectangle), as shown in the diagram attached below.

To find DE + EF, let's find each lengths as follows:

DE = BC - FA

DE = 9 - 5 = 4

EF = AB - DC

EF = 8 - DC (we don't know DC)

Let's find out DC by considering the area of the entire polygon to derive an equation that will enable us to find DC.

Area of a rectangle = L*B

Therefore:

Area of the polygon = Area of rectangle X + Area of rectangle Y

Area of Polygon = (AB*FA) + (DE*DC)

52 = (8*5) + (4*DC)

52 = 40 + (4*DC)

Subtract 40 from both sides

52 - 40 = 4*DC

12 = 4*DC

Divide both sides by 4 to make DC the subject.

12/4 = DC

3 = DC

DC = 3

Thus,

DE + EF = (BC - FA) + (AB - DC)

= (9 - 5) + (8 - 3)

= 4 + 5

= 9

If EH = 80, calculate GF.

Answers

Answer:

The length of Segment GF is 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that EH = 80, and AB, GF, RH, and DI are  parallel lines, we have;

DC ≅ DE ≅ EF ≅ FA Given

Therefore, CI ≅ HI ≅HG ≅ GB (Triangle proportionality theorem)

From where we have;

EH/GF =CH/CG (Intercept theorem otherwise known as Thales' theorem )

CH = 2 × CI (Transitive property of equality)

Also CG = 3 × CI (Transitive property of equality)

EH/GF = 2×CI/(3×CI) = 2/3

EH/GF = 2/3

80/GF = 2/3

Therefore we have;

Segment GF = 80 × 3/2 = 120

The length of Segment GF = 120.

Imagine that you have plotted many data points on an xy-plane. Your points seem to align into a clear best-fit line. Do you think this best-fit line can help you make predictions about future data? Explain your answer, and give one or more examples to support it.

Answers

It depends really. If you stay close to the present, then predicting future results isn't too bad. The further you go out, the more unpredictable things get. This is because the points may deviate from the line of best fit (aka regression line) as time wears on. Of course, it also depends on what kind of data we're working with. Some pairs of variables are naturally going to correlate very strongly together. An example would be temperature versus ice cream sales.

A best-fit line shows an association between two variables and can therefore be used to make predictions.

An example is a scatterplot attached below showing a best-fit line that depicts the association between the number of people that bath in a pool and daily temperature.

(see attachment below).

Recall:

A best-fit line is a line drawn on a scatterplot showing a trend or an association between two variables.A best-fit line can either show a weak association or a strong association.A best-fit line is often applied in various situations to make predictions based on current trend revealed.

Therefore, a best-fit line shows an association between two variables and can therefore be used to make predictions.

= $14.7

Answer:

$14.70

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the price of each CD before tax. Therefore, we must first subtract the tax from the total.

total -tax

The total cost was $61.60 and the tax was $2.80

$61.60 - $2.80

$58.80

The price for the 4 CDs (without tax) was $58.50.

We know that each CD costs the same price and Rita bought four CDs. Therefore, we can divide the cost without tax by 4.

cost without tax / 4

The cost without tax is $58.80

$58.80 /4

$14.70

Answer:  see proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard equation of a circle is (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r² where (h. k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius.  It is given that A (h, k) = (1, 3) and point B (x, y) = (-2,4) is on the circle.  Substitute the center (h, k) and point B(x, y) = (-2,4) into the standard equation of a circle to get r² = 10.  To prove that C(x, y) = (4, 2) is also a point on the circle, substitute the center (h, k) and the point C(x, y) = (4, 2) into the standard equation of a circle to get r² = 10.  Since the radius is the same for both point B and point C and it is given that point B is on the circle, then we must conclude that point C is also on the circle.

Answer:

I am given that the center of a circle is at A(1, 3) and that point B(-2, 4) lies on the circle. Applying the distance formula to A and B, I get the following:

AB=Square Root ( (-2 - 1 )^2 + (4 - 3 )^2 ) = Square root ( 9 + 1 )

AB = Square root (10)

Since B lies on the circle, this length is the length of the radius of the circle. Applying the distance formula to A and C(4, 2), I get the following:

AC = Square Root ( ( 4 - 1 )^2 + (2 - 3 )^2 ) = Square root ( 9 + 1 )

AC = Square root (10)

Thus, the distance to C from the center A is equal to the length of the radius of the circle. Any point whose distance from the center is equal to the length of the radius lies on the circle. Therefore, point C lies on the circle.

Follow the process of completing the square to solve x2 = -4x + 3

Answers

Answer:

x1 = 0.64575

x2 = -4.64574

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: We want to rearrange the equation so all the variables are on one side

0 = -x² - 4x + 3

Step 2: We take out -1 in the first 2 terms so a = 1

0 = -(x² + 4x) + 3

Step 3: Force a square, take the 'b' value and divide it by 2 and square the result. Add it and subtract it from the inside of the brackets

b = 4

4/2 = 2

2² = 4

0 = -(x² + 4x + 4 - 4) + 3

Step 4: Move the -4 out remembering to apply the -

= -(x² + 4x + 4) + 4 + 3

Step 5: We notice is inside the brackets is a perfect square

0 = -(x + 2)² + 7

Therefore the vertex form of the equation is

y = -(x + 2)² + 7

Step 6: We want to solve the equation (find the x intercepts) so we set y to 0 and solve for x

0 = -(x + 2)² + 7

-7 = -(x + 2)²

7 = (x + 2)²

[tex] \sqrt{7 } = x + 2 [/tex]

[tex]x = \sqrt{7} - 2[/tex]

1st Solution:

x = +2.64575 - 2

x = 0.64575

2nd Solution:

x = -2.64575 - 2

x = -4.64574
