The sum of three numbers is 72 the second number is three times the third the third number is eight more than the first what are the numbers

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Our three numbers are 8, 48, and 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first, second, and third numbers be x, y, and z, respectively.

The sum of them is 72. In other words:

[tex]x + y + z = 72[/tex]

The second number y is three times the third number z. So:

[tex]y = 3z[/tex]

And the third number z is eight more than the first number x. So:

[tex]z = x + 8[/tex]

To find the numbers, solve for the system. We can substitute the last two equations into the first:

[tex]x + (3z) + ( x + 8) = 72[/tex]

Substitute again:

[tex]\displaystyle x + 3(x+8) + x+8 = 72[/tex]

Solve for x. Distribute:

[tex]x+3x+24+x+8=72[/tex]

Combine like term:

[tex]5x + 32 = 72[/tex]

Subtract:

[tex]5x = 40[/tex]

And divide:

[tex]x=8[/tex]

Thus, the first number is eight.

And since the third number is eight more than the first, the third number z is 16.

The second number is three times the third. Thus, the second number y is 3(16) or 48.

Our three numbers are 8, 48, and 16.

One of the angles of a pair of complementary angles is 50°. Find the ratio of the pair of complementary angles​

Answers

Answer:

4:5

Step-by-step explanation:

A pair of complementary add up to 90, given that one of them is 50, we can do this: x + 50 = 90

solve it and we get x = 40

40 + 50 = 90, so 40 and 50 are the pair of complementary angles.

As for it's Ratio, we can just get the pair and have it as 40:50 but we can reduce it to 4:5

b) About 58 shoppers, that is [tex]\frac{230}{4}[/tex] received ​$5 off their first​ purchase.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. About how many shoppers received a free set of​ earbuds?

21% out of 230. So

[tex]230\frac{21}{100} = 2.3(21) = 48.3[/tex]

Which similarity statement is true?

Answers

Answer:

  (a)  ΔWZY ~ ΔWXZ ~ ΔZXY

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the similarity statement to be correct, the corresponding sides need to be listed in the same order.

A: ΔWZY lists sides in order short leg (WZ), long leg (ZY).

  ΔWXZ lists sides in order short leg (WX), long leg (XZ).

  ΔZXY lists sides in order short leg (ZX), long leg (XY).

The first similarity statement is correct.

__

You can compare this to an incorrect one, the last one, for example.

ΔYZW lists sides in order long leg (YZ), short leg (ZW).

ΔXZW lists sides in order long leg (XZ), hypotenuse (ZW). Hypotenuse and short leg are not corresponding sides, so the similarity statement is incorrect.

a. 0.3783.
b. 0.0228.
c. 1.0000.

Answers

Answer:

b. 0.0228

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

n=40

Mean,[tex]\mu=402.7 g[/tex]

Standard deviation, [tex]\sigma=8.8[/tex]g

We have to find the probability hat the mean weight for a sample of 40 summer squash exceeds 405.5 grams.

[tex]P(x>405.5)=P(\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}>\frac{405.5-402.7}{\frac{8.8}{\sqrt{40}}})[/tex]

[tex]P(x>405.5)=P(Z>\frac{2.8}{\frac{8.8}{\sqrt{40}}})[/tex]

[tex]P(x>405.5)=P(Z>2.01)[/tex]

[tex]P(x>405.5)=1-P(Z\leq 2.01)[/tex]

[tex]P(x>405.5)=1-0.977784[/tex]

[tex]P(x>405.5)=0.022216[/tex]

For the given piecewise function, evaluate for the specified value of x.

Answers

Answer:

g(-3) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-value -3 lies within the given interval x ≤ -3, and so the correct piecewise function is x + 4, not -4 or -1.  Evaluating x + 4 at x = -3 yields 1.

Thus, g(-3) = 1

The required value of the function g(x) at x = -3 , g(-3) is +1.

Given that,
A function is given with their domain,
g(x) = x + 4 when x≤
g(x) = 4 when -3 < x < 3
g(x) = - 1 when x ≥ 3

What are functions?

Functions are the relationship between sets of values. e g y=f(x), for every value of x there is its exists in a set of y. x is the independent variable while Y is the dependent variable.

Here, Function has been given with their respective limit in which the function is defined,
For the value of g(-3) the value of x = -3 lies in the limit x ≤ -3
So for this limit, we have a function,
g(x) = x + 4
g(-3) = - 3 + 4
g(-3) = +1

The required value of the function g(x) at x = -3 , g(-3) is +1.

28 es que porcentaje de 144

Answers

Answer:

19.44%

Step-by-step explanation:

28/144 × 100 = 19.44

I hope this helps

19.4 percent of 144 is 28.

What is a percentage?

The percentage means the required value out of 100.

It is calculated by dividing the required value by the total value and multiplying by 100.

The percentage change is also calculated using the same method.

In percentage change we find the difference between the values given.

Example:

Required percentage value = a

total value = b

Percentage = a/b x 100

We have,

Percentage= M

Now,

M% of 144 = 28

M/100 x 144 = 28

Solve for M.

(M/100) x 144 = 28

M/100 = 28/144

M = 28/144 x 100

M = 19.44%

Thus,

28 is 19.4 percent of 144.

A waste management company is designing a rectangular construction dumpster that will be twice as long as it is wide and must hold 10 yd3 of debris. Find the dimensions of the dumpster that will minimize its surface area.

Answers

Answer:

The dimensions are:

l = 2*1.96 = 3.92 yd

h = 5/(1.96)² = 1.30 yd

w = 1.96 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume is given by:

[tex]V=l*w*h[/tex]

Where:

l is the longw the wide h the height

We know that l = 2w, so we have:

[tex]V=2w^{2}*h[/tex]

[tex]10=2w^{2}*h[/tex]

[tex]5=w^{2}*h[/tex] (2)

Now, the surface of this parallelepiped is:

[tex]S=2wh+2lh+lw[/tex]

Using l = 2w:

[tex]S=2wh+4wh+2w^{2}[/tex]

Using (2) we obtain the surface equation in terms of w.

[tex]S=2w\frac{5}{w^{2}}+4w\frac{5}{w^{2}}+2w^{2}[/tex]    

[tex]S=2\frac{5}{w}+4\frac{5}{w}+2w^{2}[/tex]

We need to take the derivative with respect to w to minimize the surface area.

[tex]S=2\frac{5}{w}+4\frac{5}{w}+2w^{2}[/tex]  

[tex]S=\frac{30}{w}+2w^{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dS}{dw}=-\frac{30}{w^{2}}+4w[/tex]

Now, let's equal it to zero.

[tex]0=-\frac{30}{w^{2}}+4w[/tex]  

[tex]\frac{30}{w^{2}}=4w[/tex]              

[tex]w^{3}=\frac{30}{4}[/tex]          

[tex]w=1.96\: yd[/tex]  

So, l = 2*1.96 = 3.92 yd and h = 5/(1.96)² = 1.30 yd

Therefore, the dimensions are:

l = 2*1.96 = 3.92 yd

h = 5/(1.96)² = 1.30 yd

w = 1.96 yd

find the coefficient of the third term of (x+2)^5

Answers

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+2)^5 use binomial theorem :

(a+b)^n = (n choose 0)*a^n*b^0 + (n choose 1)*a^(n-1)*b^1 + (n choose 2)*a^(n-2)*b^2) + ... + (n choose (n-1)*a^1*b^(n-1) + ( n choose n)*a^0*b^n

this seems like a lot but to break it down, notice how the exponent on 'a' decreases as the exponent on 'b' gets bigger.

also, the 'choose' formula is :

(n choose r ) = n!/ (n-r)!r!

now plug in your values

(x+2)^5 =

(5 choose 0)*x^5*2^0 + (5choose 1)*x^4*2^1 + (5 choose 2)*x^3*x^2 + (5 choose 3)*x^2*2^3 + (5 choose 4)*x^1*2^4 + (5 choose 5)*x^0*x^5

we only need the third term so we will solve for this :

(5 choose 2)*x^3*x^2

5 choose 2 = 5!/ (5-2)!2! = 5!/ 3!2! = 10

x^3 * 2^2 = 4x^3

10*4x^3 = 40x^3
