Step 1: Solve for one variable

---I will be using the first equation and solving for a.

a + c = 405

a = 405 - c

Step 2: Substitute into the other equation

---Now that we have a value for a, we can substitute that value into the second equation. Then, we can solve for c.

12a + 5c = 3950

12(405 - c) + 5c = 3950

4860 - 12c + 5c = 3950

-12c + 5c = -910

-7c = -910

c = 130

Step 3: Plug back into the first equation

---We now know one variable, which means we can plug back into our first equation and solve for the other.

a = 405 - c

a = 405 - 130

a = 275

2. 4(11 - 2x)²(x + 1)

3. π(x³ + 15x² + 63x + 81)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Write the polynomial function that models the given situation.

A rectangle has a length of 12 units and a width of 11 units. Squares of x by x units are cut out of each corner, and then the sides are folded up to create an open box. Express the volume V of the box as a polynomial function in terms of x.

Since the length of the rectangle is 12 units and its width 11 units and squares of x by x units are cut from its corners, it implies that a length x is cut from each side. So, the length of the open box is L = 12 - 2x and its width is w = 11 - 2x.

Since the cut corners of the rectangle are folded, the side x which is cut represents the height of the open box, h. so, h = x

So, the volume of the open box V = LWh = (12 - 2x)(11 - 2x)x

2. Write the polynomial function that models the given situation. A square has sides of 24 units. Squares x + 1 by x + 1 units are cut out of each corner, and then the sides are folded up to create an open box. Express the volume V of the box as a function in terms of x.

Since the square has sides of 24 units and squares of x + 1 by x + 1 units are cut from its corners, it implies that a length x + 1 is cut from each corner and the length 2(x + 1) is cut from each side. So, the length of side open box is L = 24 - 2(x + 1) = 24 - 2x - 2 = 24 - 2 - 2x = 22 - 2x = 2(11  - x)

Since the cut corners of the square are folded, the side x + 1 which is cut represents the height of the open box, h. so, h = x + 1

Since the area of the base of the pen box is a square, its area is L² = [2(11 - 2x)]²

So, the volume of the open box V = L²h = [2(11 - 2x)]²(x + 1) = 4(11 - 2x)²(x + 1)

3. Write the polynomial function that models the given situation. A cylinder has a radius of x + 6 units and a height 3 units more than the radius. Express the volume V of the cylinder as a polynomial function in terms of x.

The volume of a cylinder is V = πr²h where r = radius and h = height of cylinder.

Given that r = x + 6 and h is 3 units more than r, h = r + 3 = x + 6 + 3 = x + 9

So, V = πr²h

V = π(x + 3)²(x + 9)

V = π(x² + 6x + 9)(x + 9)

V = π(x³ + 6x² + 9x + 9x² + 54x + 81)

V = π(x³ + 15x² + 63x + 81)

Adding Fractions: What is 9/8 + 5/6? I would like an explanation for mebecause I am confused about this problem, it will be nice if someone explained it to me. Thanks!

Answers

Answer:

4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

just do the lcm of denomination and after that start solving

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1 23/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Fractions can be added when they have the same denominator. Then the addition is performed by adding the numerators, and expressing the sum over the common denominator.

Here, your fractions have denominators of 8 and 6. Usually, we want to find a "least common denominator" to use to express the fractions. There are various ways to find that value. One of the easiest is to consult your memory of multiplication tables to find the smallest number that both a multiple of 8 and a multiple of 6. That number is 24.

An equivalent fraction is one that has the same value, but a different denominator than the one it is being compared to. Equivalent fractions can be made by multiplying by "1" in the form of "a/a" where "a" is any non-zero value. Here, it is useful to multiply 9/8 by 3/3 to make the equivalent fraction 27/24, which has a denominator of 24.

Similarly, we can multiply 5/6 by 4/4 to get the equivalent 20/24, which also has a denominator of 24.

These two fractions can now be added:

  [tex]\dfrac{9}{8}+\dfrac{5}{6}=\dfrac{27}{24}+\dfrac{20}{24}=\dfrac{27+20}{24}=\dfrac{47}{24}[/tex]

If you want to turn this into a "mixed number", you need to find how many times 24 goes into 47: 47÷24 = 1 remainder 23. The quotient is the integer part of the mixed number; the remainder is the numerator of the fractional part. Then the mixed number value of the sum is ...

  [tex]\dfrac{47}{24}=1\dfrac{23}{24}[/tex]

_____

Additional comments

The product of the denominators can always serve as a common denominator. That may not be the "least" common denominator. If you use that here, you would have ...

  [tex]\dfrac{9}{8}+\dfrac{5}{6}=\left(\dfrac{9}{8}\cdot\dfrac{6}{6}\right)+\left(\dfrac{5}{6}\cdot\dfrac{8}{8}\right)=\dfrac{54+40}{48}=\dfrac{94}{48}[/tex]

This result can be reduced by removing a factor of 2 from numerator and denominator to give 47/24, the sum we had above.

The "least common denominator" (LCD) is the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the denominators. It can be found by forming the product of the unique factors of the denominators. Here, we have 8 = 2·2·2 and 6 = 2·3. The LCD is the product 2·2·2·3. We recognize that 2³ and 3 are unique factors that need to contribute to the LCD. 2 is subsumed by 2³.

As you can see from the factoring, 2 is a common factor of both numbers. Another way to find the LCD (or LCM of the denominators) is to form their product (8×6 = 48) and divide that by the greatest common factor (GCF), which is 2. (48/2 = 24, the LCD) Sometimes it is easier to find the GCF and compute (product/GCF) than to find the LCM using factoring.

__

If you don't mind the possibility of having to reduce the resulting fraction, the sum of fractions can always be computed as ...

  [tex]\dfrac{a}{b}+\dfrac{c}{d}=\dfrac{ad+bc}{bd}[/tex]

This formula computes 94/48 as the sum of these fractions, effectively leaving out the middle step (9/8×6/6 +...) shown in the work above. I find this especially useful for adding rational expressions, not just numerical fractions.

A car is traveling at a constant speed of 60 miles per hour. How many feet does it travel in 10 seconds?

Answers

Answer:

880 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

First! We have to establish how many feet the car travels per hour.

60 (number of miles per hour) x 5280 (number of feet in a mile) = 316,800 (number of feet in an hour)

Next, since we know that there are 60 minutes in an hour we are going to divide our "number of feet in an hour" by 60 to get the "number of feet in a minute"

316,800 ÷ 60 = 5280

Once again, we are going to divide our "number of feet in a minute" by 60 to get the "number of feet per second".

5280 ÷ 60 = 88

Finally! We will multiple our "number of feet per second" by 10 to get how many feet the car can travel in 10 seconds.

88 × 10 = 880

So! Our car can travel 880 feet in 10 seconds.

A person of height 2m observes the angle of elevations of the top of a Pole 62m height which is in front of him and finds it to be 45. find the distance between the person end the pole . ​

Answers

Answer: d = 62

Explanation:

distance from pole to person = adjacent
Height of pole = opposite
Angle(theta) = 45°

We can use tan(theta) = opp/adj to figure out the distance.

tan(45°) = 62/adj
1 = 62/adj
adj = 62m

Thus, adj = distance = 62m

SAT scores are normally distributed with a mean of 1,500 and a standard deviation of 300. An administrator at a college is interested in estimating the average SAT score of first-year students. If the administrator would like to limit the margin of error of the 88% confidence interval to 15 points, how many students should the administrator sample? Make sure to give a whole number answer.

Answers

Answer:

The administrator should sample 968 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.88}{2} = 0.06[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a p-value of [tex]1 - 0.06 = 0.94[/tex], so Z = 1.555.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Standard deviation of 300.

This means that [tex]n = 300[/tex]

If the administrator would like to limit the margin of error of the 88% confidence interval to 15 points, how many students should the administrator sample?

This is n for which M = 15. So

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]15 = 1.555\frac{300}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]15\sqrt{n} = 300*1.555[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 15

[tex]\sqrt{n} = 20*1.555[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (20*1.555)^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 967.2[/tex]

Rounding up:

The administrator should sample 968 students.

it takes Bert 30 minutes longer to mow a rectangular lawn that measures 30 feet by 25 feet than it takes him to mow a rectangular lawn that measures 20 feet by 15 feet. if he mows the two lawns at the same rate per square foot, how long does it take him to mow both lawns ?

A)50min
B)60min

Answers

Answer:

C: 70 Mins

Step-by-step explanation:

1, 20ft*15ft=300ft^2

2, 30ft*25ft=750ft^2

3, 750ft-350ft=450ft^2

4, 450 ft^2 = 30 mins

5, 350ft=750ft=1050ft^2

6, 1050/450=2.3333

7, 30*2.3333=70

8, 70 mins

At the same rate per square foot , Bert will take 80 minutes to mow the both lawns.

What is rate?

Rate is the ratio between two related quantities in different units.

Area of the rectangular lawn = lw

where

l = lengthw = width

area of the lawn1  = 30 × 25 = 750 ft²

area of the lawn2 = 20 × 15 = 300 ft²

Therefore,

He mow the firts lawn 30 minutes longer than the second lawn. Therefore,

let

x = time to mow the second lawn

x + 30 = time to mow the first lawn

rate for the first lawn = 30 + x / 750

rate for the second lawn = x / 300

Hence,

30 + x / 750 = x / 300

cross multiply

9000 + 300x = 750x

9000 = 750x - 300x

9000 =  450x

x = 9000 / 450

x = 20

it will take him 30 + 20 + 20 = 80 minutes to mow the both lawns.

[tex](4x^2 + 20x + 25)[/tex]

[tex]4x^2 + (10 + 10)x + 25[/tex]

[tex]4x^2 + 10x + 10x + 25[/tex]

[tex]2x (x + 5) + 5(2x + 5)[/tex]

[tex](2x + 5) (2x+5)[/tex]

Hence the length of each side of the square is (2x + 5).

B) the dimensions of the rectangle are calculated by factoring the area expression completely,

[tex](4x^2 - 9y^2)[/tex]

[tex](2x)^2 - (3y)^2[/tex]

[tex](2x - 3y) (2x + 3y)[/tex]

Therefore, the dimensions of the rectangle are (2x - 3y) and (2x + 3y).

Answer:

167/346 or 0.483

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Number of Tails (T) = 167

Number of Heads (H) = 179

Probability of tail, P(T) =?

Next, we shall determine total outcome. This can be obtained as follow:

Number of Tails (T) = 167

Number of Heads (H) = 179

Total outcome (S) =?

S = T + H

S = 167 + 179

Total outcome (S) = 346

Finally, we shall determine the probability of tails. This can be obtained as follow:

Number of Tails (T) = 167

Total outcome (S) = 346

Probability of tail, P(T) =?

P(T) = T / S

P(T) = 167 / 346

P(T) = 0.483

Thus, the probability of tails is 167/346 or 0.483

What three consecutive integers equal -87?

Answers

Answer:

What three consecutive integers have a sum of 87? Which means that the first number is 28, the second number is 28 + 1 and the third number is 28 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 87 are 28, 29, and 30. We know our answer is correct because 28 + 29 + 30 equals 87 as displayed above.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive integers are as simple as 1, 2, 3!  

Integers are consecutive if one follows another.  How do we "jump" from one integer to the next?  We add 1, right?  7, 8 and 9 are three consecutive integers.  Add one to 7 to get 8 and add one more to get 9.

Now lets think about this in algebraic terms.  Lets name these consecutive integers , x, y and z.  

The problem tells us that their sum is -87.  (Recall, "sum" is just a fancy word for the answer when we add.)

x+y+z = -87  

Here is the trick!  We need to rewrite this equation so that we have only one variable.  Easy!

y is one more that x, so y= x+1

And z is one more than y, so z= y+1.  But y is also equal to (x+1)!  So z=y+1=(x+1)+1=x+2

Now we have a problem that we can solve!  x+(x+1)+(x+2)=-87.  

Combining term.:  3x+3=-87  

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation:  3x=84

Divide each side of the equation by 3:  x=28

We have solved for x, but we are not done!  We need to find y and z.  I know you can do this.  Remember y is one more than x and z is one more than y.

Check your work!  Make sure these three consecutive numbers do in fact add up to -87.

Your most popular insurance policy has a premium of $600 and a deductible of $1,000. This insurance policy provides your states minimum coverage of $30,000 for injury or death to one person, $50,000 for injury or death to two or more people, and $10,000 for damage to property, which is called 30/50/10 coverage. Assume that, on average, 2 of your 100 customers have an accident every year. One of the accidents causes damage to property and the other causes injury or death to one person. Both drivers file for the maximum claimsNow assume that you are one of the customers purchasing this popular insurance policy with the company. Considering only your premiums, deductible, and claims, what is the break-even period after which you could make a $10,000 claim for property damage without the insurance company suffering a loss?
