Chamblee High School Is Selling Valentine's Day Gifts As A Fundraising Event. One Long Stemmed Rose Costs

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  Choice B) 60 roses and 10 carnations

============================================================

Explanation:

r = number of rosesc = number of carnations

r and c are positive whole numbers.

r+c = total number of flowers = 50, since 50 orders are made.

The first equation to set up is r+c = 50.

This equation can be solved to get r = 50-c.

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

3r = cost of all the roses only, in dollars

1.5c = cost of all the carnations only, in dollars

3r+1.5c = total cost of all the flowers = 195 dollars

3r+1.5c = 195

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

Let's apply substitution to solve

3r+1.5c = 195

3(50-c)+1.5c = 195

150-3c+1.5c = 195

-1.5c+150 = 195

-1.5c = 195-150

-1.5c = 45

c = 45/(-1.5)

c = -30

That's not good. We shouldn't get a negative value.

It turns out that the condition r+c = 50 should be ignored. Notice how none of the answer choices listed have r+c leading to 50.

So we'll only focus on the equation 3r+1.5c = 195

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

If we plugged in r = 100 and c = 100, then we get

3r+1.5c = 195

3(100)+1.5(100) = 195

300+150 = 195

450 = 195

Which is false. So we can rule out choice A

Let's repeat those steps for choice B

3r+1.5c = 195

3(60)+1.5(10) = 195

180 + 15 = 195

195 = 195

So that works out. I have a feeling your teacher meant to say "70 orders" instead of "50 orders". If so, then the equation r+c = 50 would be r+c = 70 and everything would lead to choice B as the final answer.

Choices C and D are similar to that of choice A, so they can be ruled out.

as a
simplified polynomial in standard form.
2(x – 5)^2 + 2(x – 5) + 5

Answers

Answer:

2x^2 - 18x + 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form is ax^2 + bx + c

Expand the (x-5)^2 = (x-5)(x-5) --

x^2 - 5x - 5x + 25

x^2 - 10x + 25

So we now have

2(x^2 - 10x + 25) + 2(x-5) + 5

From here, distribute the 2 to each term in x^2 - 10x + 25, and distribute the 2 to each term in x - 5.

2x^2 - 20x + 50 + 2x - 10 + 5

Combine like terms

2x^2 - 20x + 2x + 50 - 10 + 5

2x^2 - 18x + 40 + 5

2x^2 - 18x + 45

Find the number of five-digit numbers which are not divisible by 5?

Answers

Answer:

72000

Step-by-step explanation:

First five digit number is 10000

And the last five digit number is 99999.

There are 99999-10000+1 five digits in all.

That simplifies to 89999+1=90000.

Any number whose units digit is 5 or 0 is divisble by 5.

10000 is the first five digit number that is divisble by 5.

10000+5k where k is a positive integer can be used to find any after.

The last five digit number divisible by 5 is 99995. What is k then?

10000+5k=99995

5k=89995

k=89995/5

k=17999

How many 5 digit numbers are divisble by 5?

So the first one happens at k=0 and the last one happens at k=17999.

How many numbers is that? 17999+1=18000.

So the number of 5 digit numbers that aren't divisble by 5 is 90000-18000=72000

If S is the midpoint of RT, RS = 5x + 17, and ST = 8x - 31, find RS. Show work!

Answers

Answer:

97

Step-by-step explanation:

Since S is the midpoint of RT, and when you split the line into two you'd get two distances that are equidistant. Therefore, you can make the two distances into an equation. When combined together, the result will be the total length of the line.

5x + 17 = 8x - 31

Now simply just solve for "x"

5x + 17 = 8x - 31

5x + 48 = 8x

48 = 3x

48/3 = 3x/3

16 = x

Once you get x, plug it into the equation "RS = 5x + 17"

5(16) + 17

80 + 17

97, which is our final answer.

Combine these radicals.

Answer:

The answer is A. [tex]\frac{3(x-21)}{(x+7)(x-7)}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the difference of this problem, start by simplifying the denominator, which will look like [tex]\frac{3}{x+7}-\frac{42}{(x+7)(x-7)}[/tex]. Next, multiply [tex]\frac{3}{x+7}[/tex] by [tex]\frac{x-7}{x-7}[/tex]  to create a fraction with a common denominator in order to subtract from [tex]\frac{42}{(x+7)(x-7)}[/tex]. The problem will now look like [tex]\frac{3}{x+7}*\frac{x-7}{x-7}-\frac{42}{(x+7)(x-7)}[/tex].  

Then, simplify the terms in the problem by first multiplying [tex]\frac{3}{x+7}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{x-7}{x-7}[/tex], which will look like [tex]\frac{3(x-7)}{(x+7)(x-7)}-\frac{42}{(x+7)(x-7)}[/tex]. The next step is to combine the numerators over the common denominator, which will look like [tex]\frac{3(x-7)-42}{(x+7)(x-7)}[/tex].

Next, simplify the numerator, and to simplify the numerator start by factoring 3 out of [tex]3(x-7)-42[/tex], which will look like [tex]\frac{3(x-7-14)}{(x+7)(x-7)}[/tex]. Then, subtract 14 from -7, which will look like [tex]\frac{3(x-21)}{(x+7)(x-7)}[/tex]. The final answer will be [tex]\frac{3(x-21)}{(x+7)(x-7)}[/tex].

EFGH is an isosceles trapezoid and EFGI is a parallelogram. If m∠IEF = 36°, then m∠HGI = ° (Blank 1).

Answers

The base angles of an isosceles trapezoid are equal; For EFGI to be a parallelogram, the measure of [tex]\angle HGI[/tex] is: 108 degrees

Given that:

[tex]\angle IEF = 36^o[/tex]

IEF and GHI are the base angles of the trapezoid.

So:

[tex]\angle GHI = \angle IEF = 36^o[/tex]

Also:

[tex]\triangle GHI[/tex] is an isosceles triangle.

This means that:

[tex]\angle GHI = \angle HIG = 36^o[/tex] --- base angles of an isosceles triangle

So:

[tex]\angle GHI + \angle HIG + \angle HGI = 180[/tex] --- sum of angles in a triangle

Substitute known values

[tex]36 + 36+ \angle HGI = 180[/tex]

[tex]72 + \angle HGI = 180[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]\angle HGI = 180-72[/tex]

[tex]\angle HGI = 108[/tex]

The derivative of f(x) = x3 – 12x + 5 is 3x2 – 12 . Find the coordinates of the turning points of f(x)

Answers

Answer:

(-2, 21) and (2, -11)  let me know if anything didn't make sense

Step-by-step explanation:

Try and put the symbols in, so for x to the third power write x^3  just makes it all much easier.

The turning point is when a graph changes from increasing to decreasing, or the other way around.  What this means is that its slope is changing from positive to negative, or the other way around.  

The derivative allows you to find the slope at any point of a graph.  If you are unfamiliar witht his concept let me know and I can go more into it.  

Since the derrivative tells you the slope, if you find a spot where it equals 0 then you know before that point it was positive or negative, and then after that point it was the opposite.  In other words it changes, so it's exactly what we are looking for.  Also if a derrivative is ever non existant, like in the square root function the numbers under the square root cannot be negative, so any x value that makes them negative doesn't exist, this means you would want to check these point too because they can be turning points as well.

There are certain special cases where a derivative does not coss 0, and if that happens then the original function does not have a turning point.  So keep that in mind.

The derivative is 3x^2 - 12.  So we want to find when this equals 0.   We also know it always exists so only need to worry about the 0s. Hopefully you are familiar with quadratics having two zeroes, if not let me know.

3x^2 - 12 = 0

3x^2 = 12

x^2 = 4

x = 2 and-2

So these are the turning points.  You should double check though and choose an x value below -2, then between -2 and 2, then larger than 2 and make sure the signs swap.

These are the x values of the turning points.  Solve f(x) at these points to find the y values.  so f(-2) = (-2)^3 - 12(-2) + 5 = 21 and f(2) = -11  so now we know the turning points are (-2, 21) and (2, -11)

The coordinates of the turning points of f(x) are (-2, 21) and (2, -11).

What is differential equation?

An equation containing derivatives of a variable with respect to some other variable quantity is called differential equations. The derivatives might be of any order, some terms might contain product of derivatives and the variable itself, or with derivatives themselves.

The turning point is when a graph changes from increasing to decreasing, or the other way around that means, its slope is changing from positive to negative.

Given that the derivative of f(x) = x³ – 12x + 5 is 3x² - 12.

Since the derrivative tells the slope, if you find a spot where it equals 0 then before that point it was positive or negative, and then after that point it was the opposite.

The derivative is 3x² - 12.

3x² - 12 = 0

3x²  = 12

x²  = 4

Thus, x = 2 and-2

So, these are the turning points.  

Now Solve f(x) at these points to find the y values.  

so f(x) = x³ – 12x + 5

f(-2) = (-2)³ - 12(-2) + 5 = 21

f(2) = -11  

Hence, the coordinates of the turning points of f(x) are (-2, 21) and (2, -11).

The second plan requires an initial deposit of $400 and interest grows continuously at a rate of 2% per year. Leo wrote a system of equations to represent the account balance of either plan, y, after x years. Which two equations are part of the system?
OPTIONS ARE BELOW

Answers

Answer:

First and Second option choices

Step-by-step Explanation:

Initial deposit (P) = 500

Annual interest rate (r) = 2.5%

Account balance after x years, y = P(1+r/100)×

y = 500(1+2.5/100)×

y = 500(1+0.025)×

y = 500(1.025)×

2nd case:

Initial deposit (P) = 400

Annual interest rate (r) = 2%

Account balance after x years, y = P(1+r/100)×

y = 400(1+2/100)×

y = 400(1+0.02)×

y = 400(1.02)×

The correct option is (A) and (B)

What are Equations?

Equations are mathematical statements containing two algebraic expressions on both sides of an 'equal to (=)' sign. It shows the relationship of equality between the expression written on the left side with the expression written on the right side. In every equation in math, we have, L.H.S = R.H.S (left hand side = right hand side).

Parts of an Equation

There are different parts of an equation which include coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and an equal to sign. When we write an equation, it is mandatory to have an "=" sign, and terms on both sides. Both sides should be equal to each other. An equation doesn't need to have multiple terms on either of the sides, having variables, and operators. An equation can be formed without these as well, for example, 5 + 10 = 15. This is an arithmetic equation with no variables. As opposed to this, an equation with variables is an algebraic equation. Look at the image below to understand the parts of an equation.

Initial deposit (P) = 500

Annual interest rate (r) = 2.5%

Account balance after x years, y = P(1+r/100)^×

y = 500(1+2.5/100^)×

y = 500(1+0.025)^×

y = 500(1.025)^×

again,

Initial deposit (P) = 400

Annual interest rate (r) = 2%

Account balance after x years, y = P(1+r/100)×

y = 400(1+2/100)^×

y = 400(1+0.02)^×

y = 400(1.02)^×

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 4×105=420 (pounds)-blue whale

2) 1×10=10 (pounds)- elephant

3) 420:10=42

The amount of times that the blue whale is more heavier than the elephant in pounds is; 40 times heavier.

We are given;

Average weight of blue whale; W_w = 4 × 10^(5) pounds

Average weight of elephant; w_e = 1 × 10⁴ pounds

Now, we want to find how much more heavier the blue whale is than the elephant. Thus we will just divide W_w by W_e to get;

W_w/W_e = (4 × 10^(5))/(1 × 10⁴)
