Answer:
14 boxes
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that he needs 3 rows with 63 tiles per row.
Hence total number of tiles needed:
= 3 rows x 63 tiles per row
= 189 tiles
we are also given that tiles come in boxes of 14 tiles.
Hence the number of boxes of tiles needed,
= 189 tiles ÷ 14 tiles per box
= 13.5 boxes
but because he cannot just buy 0.5 of a box (i.e he needs to buy whole boxes), we must round this number up to the next whole box
hence
13.5 boxes rounded up to next whole box = 14 boxes.

x² + 3x = 0
x(x + 3) = 0
x = 0, -3
But both the solutions x = 0 and x = -3 are extraneous solutions, given equation has no solution.

A young sumo wrestler decided to go on a special high-protein diet to gain weight rapidly. When he started his diet, he weighed 79.5 kilograms. He gained weight at a rate of 5.5 kilograms per month. Let y represent the sumo wrestler's weight (in kilograms) after x months. Which of the following could be the graph of the relationship? graph of an increasing linear function in quadrant 1 with a positive y-intercept (Choice B) B graph of an increasing linear function in quadrants 1 and 4 with a positive x-intercept and negative y-intercept (Choice C) C graph of a decreasing linear function in quadrants 1 and 4 with a positive x-intercept and positive y-intercept (Choice D) D graph of a decreasing linear function in quadrant 4 with a negative y-intercept
Answer:
(Choice A) A graph of an increasing linear function in quadrant 1 with a positive y-intercept.
Step-by-step explanation:
The weight of the sumo wrestler starts at a positive value of 79.5 kilograms, and we are given that the sumo wrestler gains a linear amount of weight per month at 5.5 kilograms per month.
If we were to graph this relationship, the sumo wrestler's weight would be represented on the y-axis, and the amount of time on the x-axis.
So the initial weight would occur at (0, 79.5) which is the positive y-intercept.
And since his weight is increasing at 5.5 kilograms per month, the slope of the linear function is positive.
Hence, the graph of the linear increasing function in quadrant 1 with a positive y-intercept.

On a class trip with 40 students, 14 are male. What percentage of the class is female?
66%
60%
65%
58%
Answer:
65%
Step-by-step explanation:
If 14 are male, then 26 are female.
To find the percent female, divide the number of females by the total.
26/40 = 0.65
So, the percentage of the class that is female is 65%
Answer:
C. 65%
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that of the 40 total students, 14 are male, which means the remaining students are female.
To find how many are female, we subtract 14 from 40:
40 - 14 = 26 females
Percentage is simply a part divided by a whole, multiplied by 100. Here, the "part" is the number of females, which is 26. The "whole" is the total number of students, which is 40. So, we have:
(26 / 40) * 100 = 65
The answer is thus C, 65%.

Sugar, flour, and oats are stored in three drawers. The first drawer is labeled "oats", the second is labeled, "flour", the third is labeled "oats or flour". The label of each drawer does not correspond to what is stored inside of it. In which drawers is what stored?
Answer:
first = flour, second = oats, third = sugar
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the labels are "wrong", we know that the third drawer doesn't have oats or flour, therefore it has sugar. Since the first doesn't have oats, it must have flour and that makes the second drawer oats.
Answer:
first drawer has flour, second has oats, third is sugar
Step-by-step explanation:
on the first drawer, it is labelled oats, so it cannot be oats. on the second it cannot be flour, and on the third it cannot be oats or flour, which means it HAS to be sugar leaving oats and flour to be in either the first, or second.

Your friend Iggy tells you that the product of 80 and 70 will have four zeroes. Explain to Iggy why his estimation is incorrect, and how to fix it.
4 zeroes basically means [tex]10^4[/tex]
$80=2^3\cdot 10$ and $70=7\cdot10$
there will be $10^2$ when you take the product not $10^4$
hence it will have 2 zeroes not 4
7 1/4 x−x=9 3/8 HELLLLPPPPP PLLSSSS
-1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
So, you do 7.25 - 1 (because it is) and you get 6.25. Make it a fraction inton 25/4 and divide bu 75/8 (9 3/8 simplified) and you get -1.5 voila.
Answer:
x = 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
7 1/4 = 7 + 1/4 = 28/4 + 1/4 = 29/4
9 3/8 = 9 + 3/8 = 72/8 + 3/8 = 75/8
then:
7 1/4 x = 29x/4
29x/4 - x = 75/8
29x/4 - 4x/4 = 75/8
25x/4 = 75/8
x = (75/8)/(25/4)
x = (75*4)/(8*25)
x = 300/200
x = 3/2
Checking:
(29/4)(3/2) = (29*3)(4*2) = 87/8
87/8 - 3/2 = 75/8
3/2 = 12/8
then:
87/( - 12/8 = 75/8
Two numbers, if the first one increases by 1, and the second one decreases by 1, then their product increases by 2020. If the first number decreases by 1, and the second one increases by 1, what value does the product decrease?
Answer:
The product decreases 2022.
Step-by-step explanation:
(x + 1)(y - 1) = xy + 2020
xy - x + y - 1 = xy + 2020
-x + y = 2021
(x - 1)(y + 1) = xy + x - y - 1
+ 2021 = -x + y
----------------------------------
(x - 1)(y + 1) + 2021 = xy - 1
(x - 1)(y + 1) = xy - 2022
The product decreases 2022.

We want to maximize [tex]x^3y^4z[/tex] subject to the constraint [tex]x+y+z=30[/tex].
The Lagrangian is
[tex]L(x,y,z,\lambda)=x^3y^4z-\lambda(x+y+z-30)[/tex]
with critical points where the derivatives vanish:

Let's work with [tex]x=3z[/tex] and [tex]y=4z[/tex], for which we have
[tex]x+y+z=8z=30\implies z=\dfrac{15}4\implies\begin{cases}x=\frac{45}4\\y=15\end{cases}[/tex]

A laboratory tested n = 98 chicken eggs and found that the mean amount of cholesterol was LaTeX: \bar{x}x ¯ = 86 milligrams with σ = 7 milligrams. Find the margin of error E corresponding to a 95% confidence interval for the true mean cholesterol content, μ, of all such eggs.
Answer:
1.3859
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for Margin of Error is given as:
Margin of Error = Critical value × Standard Error
Critical value = z score
In the question, we are given a confidence interval of 95%.
Z score for a 95% confidence level is given as: 1.96
Hence, critical value = 1.96
Standard Error = σ / √n
Where n = number of samples = 98 chicken eggs
σ = Standard deviation = 7 milligrams
Standard Error = 7/√98
Standard Error = 0.7071067812
Hence, Margin of Error = Critical value × Standard Error
Margin of Error = 1.96 × 0.7071067812
Margin of Error = 1.3859292911
Therefore, the margin of error corresponding to a 95% confidence interval for the true mean cholesterol content, μ, of all such eggs is approximately 1.3859

This is a geometric progresion that begins with 1 and each term is 1/3 the preceeding term
Let Pn represent the nth term in the sequence
Then Pn = (1/3)^n-1

The letters x and y represent rectangular coordinates. Write the given equation using polar coordinates (r,θ) . Select the correct equation in polar coordinates below.
x2+y2−4x=0
a. r=4 sinθ
b. r=4 cosθ
c. r cos2θ=4 sinθ
d. r sin2θ=4 cosθ
Answer:
B. r = 4cosθStep-by-step explanation:
Given the expression in rectangular coordinate as x²+y²−4x=0, in order to write the given expression in polar coordinates, we need to write the value of x and y as a function of (r, θ).
x = rcosθ and y = rsinθ.
Substituting the value of x and y in their polar form into the given expression we have;
x²+y²−4x=0
( rcosθ)²+( rsinθ)²-4( rcosθ) = 0
Expand the expressions in parenthesis
r²cos²θ+r²sin²θ-4rcosθ = 0
r²(cos²θ+sin²θ)-4rcosθ = 0
From trigonometry identity, cos²θ+sin²θ =1
The resulting equation becomes;
r²(1)-4rcosθ = 0
r²-4rcosθ = 0
Add 4rcosθ to both sides of the equation
r²-4rcosθ+4rcosθ = 0+4rcosθ
r² = 4rcosθ
Dividing both sides by r
r²/r = 4rcosθ/r
r = 4cosθ
Hence the correct equation in polar coordinates is r = 4cosθ

Decide whether the normal sampling distribution can be used. If it can be used, test the claim about the population proportion p at the given level of significance using the given sample statistics.
Claim: p>0.12; α=0.05; Sample statistics: Modifying above p with caret equals 0.08, n is equal to 250
Answer:
There is no sufficient evidence to support the claim
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The level of significance is [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]
The sample proportion is [tex]\r p = 0.08[/tex]
The sample size is [tex]n = 250[/tex]
Generally for normal sampling distribution can be used
[tex]n * p > 5[/tex]
So
[tex]n* p = 250 * 0.12 = 30[/tex]
Since
[tex]n * p > 5[/tex] then normal sampling distribution can be used
The null hypothesis is [tex]H_o : p = 0.12[/tex]
The alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_a : p > 0.12[/tex]
The test statistic is evaluated as
[tex]t = \frac{\r p - p }{ \sqrt{ \frac{p(1- p)}{n} } }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]t = \frac{0.08 - 0.12 }{ \sqrt{ \frac{0.12 (1- 0.12)}{250 } } }[/tex]
[tex]t = -1.946[/tex]
The p-value is obtained from the z table and the value is
[tex]p-value = P(t > -1.9462) =0.97512[/tex]
Since the [tex]p-value > \alpha[/tex]
Then we fail to reject the null hypothesis
Hence it means there is no sufficient evidence to support the claim

Step-by-step explanation:
( r-5) /2 = ( r+2) /3
The least common denominator is 6
3/3 *( r-5) /2 = ( r+2) /3 * 2/2
3( r-5) /6 = 2( r+2) /6
Since the denominators are the same, the numerators are the same
3( r-5) = 2(r+2)
Distribute
3r -15 = 2r+4
Subtract 2r from each side
3r-2r -15 = 2r+4-2r
r-15 =4
Add 15 to each side
r-15+15 = 4+15
r = 19

Three 3.0 g balls are tied to 80-cm-long threads and hung from a single fixed point. Each of the balls is given the same charge q. At equilibrium, the three balls form an equilateral triangle in a horizontal plane with 20 cm sides. What is q?
Answer:
q = 0.105uC
Step-by-step explanation:
We can determine the force on one ball by assuming two balls are stationary, finding the E field at the lower right vertex and calculate q from that.
Considering the horizontal and vertical components.
First find the directions of the fields at the lower right vertex. From the lower left vertex the field will be at 0° and from the top vertex, the field will be at -60° or 300° because + charge fields point radially outward in all directions. The distances from both charges are the same since this is an equilateral triangle. The fields have the same magnitude:
E=kq/r²
Where r = 20cm
= 20/100
= 0.2m
K = 9.0×10^9
9.0×10^9 × q /0.2²
9.0×10^9/0.04
2.25×10^11 q
These are vector fields of course
Sum the horizontal components
Ecos0 + Ecos300 = E+0.5E
= 1.5E
Sum the vertical components
Esin0 + Esin300 = -E√3/2
Resultant = √3E at -30° or 330°
So the force on q at the lower right corner is q√3×E
The balls have two forces, horizontal = √3×E×q
and vertical = mg, therefore if θ is the angle the string makes with the vertical tanθ = q√3E/mg
mg×tanθ = q√3E.
..1
Then θ will be...
Since the hypotenuse = 80cm
80cm/100
= 0.8m
The distance from the centroid to the lower right vertex is 0.1/cos30 =
0.1/0.866
= 0.1155m
Hence,
0.8×sinθ = 0.1155
Sinθ = 0.1155/0.8
Sin θ = 0.144375
θ = arch sin 0.144375
θ = 8.3°
From equation 1
mg×tanθ = q√3E
g = 9.8m/s^2
m = 3.0g = 0.003kg
0.003×9.8×tan(8.3)
0.00428 = q√3E
0.00428 = q×1.7320×E
Where E=kq/r²
Where r = 0.2m
0.0428 = kq^2/r² × 1.7320
K = 9.0×10^9
0.0428/1.7320 = 9.0×10^9 × q² / 0.2²
0.02471×0.04 = 9.0×10^9 × q²
0.0009884 = 9.0×10^9 × q²
0.0009884/9.0×10^9 = q²
q² = 109822.223
q = √109822.223
q = 0.105uC
Working together, it takes two computers 10 minutes to send out a company's email. If it takes the slower computer 50 minutes to do the job on its own, how long will it take the faster computer to do the job on its own? don't round
Answer:
12.5 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
When working together,It takes two computers 10 minutes to send out an email
It takes the slower computer 50 minutes to send out an email
Let x represent the time taken by the faster computer to do the job in its own
Therefore, the time required by the faster computer can be calculated as follows
1/x + 1/50= 1/10
Collect the like terms
1/x= 1/10-1/50
1/x= 4/50
Cross multiply both sides
4 × x = 50×1
4x=50
Divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 4
4x/4=50/4
x= 12.5
Hence the time taken by the faster computer to finish the job on its own is 12.5 minutes

What is the measure of B, in degrees?
Answer:
B = 32
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is an isosceles triangle, C is also equal to 74 degrees
the angles of a triangle add to 180
A + B+ C = 180
74+ B + 74 = 180
148 + B = 180
B = 180-148
B =32
