John finds that the sum of two numbers is 24 and their difference is one sixth of the
sum. Find the smallest number between the two numbers.

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

The sum of two numbers is 24 and their difference is one sixth of the sum.

To find:

The smaller number between the two numbers.

Solution:

Let x and y be the two numbers where x>y.

The sum of two numbers is 24.

[tex]x+y=24[/tex]           ...(i)

Their difference is one sixth of the sum.

[tex]x-y=\dfrac{1}{6}\times 24[/tex]

[tex]x-y=4[/tex]              ...(ii)

Adding (i) and (ii), we get

[tex]2x=28[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{28}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x=14[/tex]

Putting [tex]x=14[/tex] in (i), we get

[tex]14+y=24[/tex]

[tex]y=24-14[/tex]

[tex]y=10[/tex]

The two numbers are 14 and 10.

Therefore, the smaller number between the two numbers is 10.

Find the area and perimeter of the shaded region below. Give your answer as a completely simplified exact value in terms of pi.

Answers

Answer:

23.73pi (rounded to the nearest hundredth)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the radius of the half-circle by looking at the triangle. You then calculate the area of a circle with that radius and divide the area by 2. Area of full circle=113.1

113.1/2=56.55. You must now calculate the area of the triangle, (6*6)/2. This gives you 18. Add your areas together, 56.55+18=74.55. Now divide your answer by pi. Then you put it as an equation of 74.55/pi = 23.73pi.

Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to group the like terms in order to solve this equation, this will result to;

5/2x-3/4x=14+7

1.75x/1.75=21/1.75

x=12

I hope this helps

Required solution :

The given equation is,

(5 / 2)x - 7 = (3 / 4)x + 14

5x - 14 / 2 = (3 / 4)x + 14

Transposing 14 from R.H.S. to L.H.S.,

(5x - 14 / 2) - 14 = (3/4)x

5x - 14 - 28 / 2 = 3x / 4

5x - 42 / 2 = 3x / 4

4 (5x - 42) / 2 = 3x

4 × (5x - 42) / 2 = 3x

2 (5x - 42) = 3x

10x - 84 = 3x

10x - 3x = 84

7x = 84

x = 84 / 7

x = 12

Therefore, option d that is 12 is correct.

The points (3,6) and (5,12) lie on the graph of a linear equation. Is (4,8) a solution of the same linear
equation? Explain.

Answers

After finding the equation of the line, it is found that:

Since replacing x by 4 and y by 8 in the equation of the line does not result in an identity, (4,8) is not a solution of the same linear  equation.

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

Equation of a line:

The equation of a line is given by:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

In which m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

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

Finding the slope:

Given two points (x,y), the slope is given by change in y divided by change in x.

Points (3,6) and (5,12)Change in y: 12 - 6 = 6Change in x: 5 - 3 = 2Slope: [tex]m = \frac{6}{2} = 3[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]y = 3x + b[/tex]

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

To find the y-intercept, we replace one of the points into the equation. I will replace (3,6). Thus:

[tex]6 = 3(3) + b[/tex]

[tex]b = 6 - 9 = -3[/tex]

Thus, the equation of the line is:

[tex]y = 3x - 3[/tex]

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

Is (4,8) a solution of the same linear  equation?

We have to replace x by 4 and y by 8, and see if it results in an identity. So

[tex]8 = 3(4) - 3[/tex]

[tex]8 = 12 - 3[/tex]

[tex]8 \neq 9[/tex]

Since replacing x by 4 and y by 8 in the equation of the line does not result in an identity, (4,8) is not a solution of the same linear  equation.

Rotation is correct because the triangle ABC is rotated about the mid-point of B and B'. Then the correct option is D.

What is a transformation of geometry?

A spatial transformation is each mapping of feature shapes to itself, and it maintains some spatial correlation between figures.

Reflection does not change the size and shape of the geometry. But flip the image.

Rotation does not change the size and shape of the geometry. But change the orientation of the image.

Translation does not change the size and shape of the geometry. But change the location of the shape.

Check all the options.

Translation is incorrect because orientation of the triangle is changed.

Reflection is incorrect because the line of the reflection is not possible for the triangles.

Rotation is correct because the triangle ABC is rotated about the mid-point of B and B'.

Then the correct option is D.

Observe that

7¹ ≡ 7 (mod 100)

7² ≡ 49 (mod 100)

7³ ≡ 343 ≡ 43 (mod 100)

and (using Euclid's algorithm)

7 ⁻¹ ≡ 43 (mod 100)

so that

7⁴ ≡ 7³ × 7¹ ≡ 43 × 7¹ ≡ 1 (mod 100)

This means

7⁷ ≡ 7⁴ × 7³ ≡ 1 × 43 ≡ 43 (mod 100)

Next,

(7⁷)⁷ ≡ 43⁷ ≡ (7 ⁻¹)⁷ ≡ (7⁷) ⁻¹ ≡ 43⁻¹ ≡ 7 (mod 100)

Next,

((7⁷)⁷)⁷ ≡ 7⁷ ≡ 43 (mod 100)

The analysis of the graph and reason for the answer

From the graphed line on the left of the y-axis, we have an open circle at x = -3, and an arrow at the other end pointing towards negative infinity, (-∞) which indicates that the domain is -∞ ≤ x < -3, therefore, at x = -3, f(x) does not exist, therefore, we can write the following statement

The limits of the domain and range of the graph includes;

[tex]\mathbf{\lim \limits _{x \to -3} f(x)} = \mathbf{Does \ not \ exist}[/tex]

f(x) = Defined for -∞ ≤ x < -3

Similarly, from the graphed line on the right of the y-axis, we have an open circle at x = 1 and an arrow at the other end of the line f(x) = 4 pointing towards positive (+∞) infinity, which indicates the domain and the graph of the function is 1 < x ≤ ∞ , therefore, f(x) does not exist at x = 1, and we can write

[tex]\mathbf{\lim \limits _{x \to 1} f(x)} = \mathbf{Does \ not \ exist}[/tex]

From we above, we have that neither statement 1, nor statement 2 are correct

Answers

Answer:

The answer is "Option b".

Step-by-step explanation:

The significant variance shows that the numbers in the set are far from the mean and far from each other as well. Alternatively, a little variation implies the reverse. The variance value of 0, on either hand, shows that all values inside a set of numbers are the same. If you need yet another test, use a greater sample variance as the numerator of the test statistic to avoid having to reference tables of the F distribution that primary device from of the lower tail.
