Answer 1

Answer:

The two numbers are 12 and -29

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the two numbers

x+y = -17

x - y = 41

Add the two equations together

x+y = -17

x - y = 41

----------------

2x = 24

Divide by 2

x = 12

Now find y

x+y = -17

12 +y = -17

Subtract 12 from each side

y = -17-12

y = -29

What is the area of the region bounded by the three lines with equations $2x+y = 8$, $2x-5y = 20$ and $x+y = 10$?

Answers

Answer:

  42

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing tool is useful for finding the points of intersection of these lines. If the equations are numbered 1, 2, 3 in the order given, we can find the points of intersection to be ...

  equations 1, 2: A(5, -2)

  equations 2, 3: B(10, 0)

  equations (3, 1): C(-2, 12)

Then the area can be found from the coordinates using the formula ...

  A = (1/2)|x1(y2-y3) +x2(y3-y1) +x3(y1-y2)|

  = (1/2)|5(0-12) +10(12-(-2)) -2(-2-0))| = (1/2)|-60 +140 +4|

  A = 42

For the function y=f(x), find f’(a)

Answers

Answer:

-1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 1/(x+1)

f(a) = 1/(a+1)

f'(a) = {(a+1)×d/da (1) - d/da (a+1) × 1}/(a+1)²

f'(a) = {(a+1)×0 - 1×1}/(a+1)²

f'(a) = (0-1)/(a²+2a+1)

f'(a) = -1/(1+2a+a²)

putting a = 1

f'(a) = -1/(1+2+1)

f'(a) = -1/4

Suppose a professional baseball player hit 55 home runs his first season, 58 his second,
and 69 his third. How many home runs would he need to hit in the current season so that
his average for the 4 years is no less than 59?

Answers

Answer:

About 54

Step-by-step explanation:

To work backwards from average, you need to multiply the average by the total number of cases, which is 4, since there are 3 current cases/seasons and you want the 4th.

59 * 4 =  236

You then subtract the total home runs that you know of from 236.

236 - 55 - 58 - 69 = 54

To find average, you are adding to the total and then dividing by the number of groups, which is essentially mean (mean is basically the average).

A parent increases a child’s monthly allowance by 20% each year. If the allowance is $8 per month now, in about how many years will it take to reach $20 per month? Use the equation 20 = 8(1.2)x to solve the problem. Round to the nearest year. 1 year 5 years 2 years 16 years

Answers

Answer:

6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

A parent increases a child’s monthly allowance by 20% each year. If the allowance is $8 per month now. This is an exponential function, An exponential function is given by:

[tex]y=ab^x[/tex]

Let x be the number of years and y be the allowance. The initial allowance is $8, this means at x = 0, y = 8

[tex]y=ab^x\\8=ab^0\\a=8[/tex]

Since it increases by 20% each year, i.e 100% + 20% = 1 + 0.2 = 1.2. This means that b = 1.2

Therefore:

[tex]y=ab^x\\y=8(1.2^x) \\[/tex]

To find the number of years will it take to reach $20 per month, we substitute y = 20 and find x

[tex]20=8(1.2)^x\\20/8=1.2^x\\1.2^x=2.5\\Taking \ natural\ log\ of \ both\ sides:\\ln(1.2^x)=ln2.5\\xln(1.2)=0.9163\\x=0.9163/ln(1.2)\\x=5.026[/tex]

x = 6 years to the nearest year

Nothing further, the simplest answer is 32 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the sum of 1 + 3/2 + 9/4 + …, if it exists. This is infinite series notation. The answer is NOT 4.75.

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

First, this looks like a geometric series. To determine whether or not it is, find the common ratio. To do this, we can divide the second term and the first term, and then divide the third term and the second term. If they equal to same, then this is indeed a geometric series.

[tex](3/2)/(1)=3/2\\(9/4)/(3/2)=(9/4)(2/3)=18/12=3/2[/tex]

Therefore, this is indeed a geometric series with a common ratio of 3/2.

With just this, we can stop. This is because since the common ratio is greater than one, each subsequent value is going to be bigger than the previous one. Because of this, the series will not converge. Therefore, the series has no sum.

To see this more clearly, imagine a few more terms:

1, 1.5, 2.25, 3.375, 5.0625...

Each subsequent term will just increase. The sum will not converge.

Answer:

No Sum --- it doesn't exist.

Step-by-step explanation:

The partial sums get arbitrarily large--the go to infinity.

The geometric series you are trying to sum has common ratio = 3/2.

The sum of the infinite series exists only when |common ratio| < 1.

The formula for the partial sum of n terms is (r^(n+1) - 1) / (r - 1) = (1.5^(n+1) - 1) / 0.5, or in decimals instead of fraction.. i.e. 1 + 1.5 + 2.25 + 5.0525 + 25.628 + 656.840..... therefore It would take a long time but you'd be adding up forever and goes to infinity.

Manuel says that he can solve the equation 3n = 21 by multiplying both sides by ⅓. Explain why this is correct.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

はい、両側を削除して、3を掛けて7にします

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

3n = 21

if we multiply both sides by 1/3, we will get:

3n = 21

3n x (1/3)= 21 x (1/3)

3n/3 = 21/3

n = 21/3

n = 7

Hence we can indeed solve for n by multiplying both sides by (1/3)

Janet invests a sum of EUR in an account that offers 3.5% simple interest. After ten years her investment is worth 7425 EUR. How much did she invest?

Answers

We need to find the amount of money Janet invested in 10 years to yield 7425 EUR

She invested EUR 21,214.29

Simple interest = P × R × T

Where,

P = principal = ?

R = interest rate = 3.5% = 0.035

T = Time = 10 years

Simple interest = 7425 EUR

Simple interest = P × R × T

7425 = p × 0.035 × 10

7425 = p × 0.35

7425 = 0.35p

Divide both sides by 0.35

P = 7425 / 0.35

= 21,214.285714285

Approximately,

P = EUR 21,214.29

A contractor, Susan Meyer, has to haul gravel to three building sites. She can purchase as much as 18 tons at a gravel pit in the north of the city and 14 tons at one in the south. She needs 10, 5, and 10 tons at sites 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The purchase price per ton at each gravel pit and the hauling cost per ton are given in the table below. Susan wishes to determine how much to haul from each pit to each site to minimize the total cost for purchasing and hauling gravel. Pit Hauling cost per Ton at Site Price per ton Site 1 Site 2 Site 3 North $30 $60 $50 $100 South $60 $30 $40 $120 Now suppose that trucks (and their drivers) need to be hired to do the hauling, where each truck can only be used to haul gravel from a single pit to a single site. Each truck can haul 5 tons, and the cost per truck is five times the hauling cost per ton given above. Only full trucks would be used to supply each site.

Determina el valor absoluto de 13 – 11|

Answers

Responder:

2

Explicación paso a paso:

El valor absoluto de una expresión es el también conocido como valor positivo devuelto por la expresión. Una expresión en un signo de módulo se conoce como valor absoluto de la expresión y dicha expresión siempre toma dos valores (tanto el valor positivo como el negativo).

Por ejemplo, el valor absoluto de x se escribe como | x | y esto puede devolver tanto + x como -x debido al signo del módulo.

Pasando a la pregunta, debemos determinar el valor absoluto de | 13-11 |. Esto significa que debemos determinar el valor positivo de la expresión como se muestra;

= | 13-11 |

= | 2 |

Este módulo de 2 puede devolver tanto +2 como -2, pero el valor absoluto solo devolverá el valor positivo, es decir, 2.

Por tanto, el valor absoluto de la expresión es 2

:( I Need help! Show work please! Aviva has a total of 52 coins, all of which are either dimes or nickels. The total value of the coins is $4.70. Find the number of each type of coin.

Answers

Answer:

42 Dimes, 10 Nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimes are worth $0.10, nickels are worth $0.05.

If D = number of dimes, and N = number of nickels, then the following equations are true:

0.10D + 0.05N = 4.70

D + N = 52

Next, let's multiply the first equation by 10 so that we can subtract the second one from it.

D + 0.50N = 47

(-) D + N = 52

Subtracting the second equation from the first one gives:

-0.5N = -5

-0.5N/-0.5 = -5/-0.5

N = 10

Finally, substitute N in the original second equation to find D.

D + 10 = 52

D + 10 - 10 = 52 - 10

D = 42

Evaluate f(g(3)) if f(x)=6x−4 and g(x)=x2.
(Please Explain! Thank you)

Answers

Answer: 50

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 6x-4 and g(x) = x^2

f(g(3)) means what is the value of the function f when it is evaluated at the value of g(3).

So g(x) is x^2 so g(3) is 3^2 = 9

Therefore we put 9 in for f(g(3))= f(9) = 6(9) - 4 = 54 - 4 = 50

Use the model to show to help find the sum 0.34 plus 0.49

Answers

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

The idea to use in solving this problem using the model, is to express the number of shaded boxes in fraction form.

Thus, the blue red shaded boxes has 34 boxes shaded out of 100 boxes. This represents [tex] \frac{34}{100} [/tex]. This will give us 0.34.

The other shaded boxes represents [tex] \frac{49}{100} = 0.49 [/tex].

Using the model, we can solve 0.34 + 0.49.

Add both fractions together.

[tex] \frac{34}{100} + \frac{49}{100} = \frac{34+49}{100} [/tex]

[tex] \frac{83}{100} = 0.83 [/tex]

Express b+1/3b-2 with “b” as the subject

Answers

Answer:

b = [tex]\frac{1+2a}{3a-1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a = [tex]\frac{b+1}{3b-2}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 3b - 2 )

a(3b - 2) = b + 1 ← distribute left side

3ab - 2a = b + 1 ( subtract b from both sides )

3ab - b - 2a = 1 ( add 2a to both sides )

3ab - b = 1 + 2a ← factor out b from each term on the left side

b(3a - 1) = 1 + 2a ( divide both sides by 3a - 1 )

b = [tex]\frac{1+2a}{3a-1}[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]→a = \frac{(b + 1)}{(3b - 2)} \\ a(3b - 2) = (b + 1) \\ 3ab - 2a = b + 1 \\ 3ab - b = 2a + 1 \\ b(3a - 1) =( 2a + 1) \\ \boxed{b = \frac{(2a + 1)}{(3a - 1)} }✓[/tex]

b = (2a+1)/(3a-1) is the right answer.

The state of Georgia is divided up into 159 counties. Consider a population of Georgia residents with mutually independent and equally likely home locations. If you have a group of n such residents, what is the probability that two or more people in the group have a home in the same county

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{159^{n} -(\left \{ {{159} \atop {n}} \right.)*n! ) }{159^{n} }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

number of counties = 159

n number of people are mutually independent and equally likely home locations

considering the details given in the question

n ≤ 159

The number of ways for people ( n ) will live in the different counties (159) can be determined as [tex](\left \{ {{159} \atop {n}} \right} )[/tex]

since the residents are mutually independent and equally likely home locations hence there are : [tex]159^{n}[/tex] ways for the residents to live in

therefore the probability = [tex]\frac{159^{n} -(\left \{ {{159} \atop {n}} \right.)*n! ) }{159^{n} }[/tex]
