use, what is the area, in acres, devoted to government
use?
A) 1,400
B) 1,800
C) 5,200
D) 44,000
Answers
=========================================================
Explanation:
Let
r = area devoted to residential use
This variable is some positive real number, and it represents the area in acres.
Your teacher says that " the area devoted to business use is 7,200 acres less than the area devoted to residential use"
This means the expression r-7200 represents the area for business use
Note the jump from 25% to 65% is 65/25 = 2.6, meaning that we multiply by 2.6 when going from the business area to the residential area.
So we'll multiply by 2.6 to go from r-7200 to r
We'll have this equation
2.6(r-7200) = r
because it's effectively saying
2.6*(business area) = residential area
--------------------------
Let's isolate r
2.6(r-7200) = r
2.6r-2.6*7200 = r
2.6r - 18720 = r
2.6r - r = 18720
1.6r = 18720
r = 18720/(1.6)
r = 11700
We'll use 11700 acres for the residential portion.
And also r-7200 = 11700-7200 = 4500 acres are set aside for the business district.
--------------------------
The largest region (residential) uses 11700 acres of land.
Note the jump from 10% to 65% involves a multiplier of 6.5 because 65/10 = 6.5
So if g is the amount of government land used, then,
6.5g = r
6.5g = 11700
g = 11700/(6.5)
g = 1800
1800 acres of land are for government use
This is why the answer is choice B.
The area, in acres, devoted to government use is 1800.
Option (B) is correct.
To find the area.
What is percentage?Percentage, a relative value indicating hundredth parts of any quantity.
Given that:
Let
r = area devoted to residential use
This variable is some positive real number, and it represents the area in acres.
This means the expression r-7200 represents the area for business use
Note the jump from 25% to 65% is 65/25 = 2.6, meaning that we multiply by 2.6 when going from the business area to the residential area.
To multiply by 2.6 to go from r-7200 to r
The equation is
2.6(r-7200) = r
because it's effectively saying
2.6*(business area) = residential area
--------------------------
Let's isolate r
2.6(r-7200) = r
2.6r-2.6*7200 = r
2.6r - 18720 = r
2.6r - r = 18720
1.6r = 18720
r = 18720/(1.6)
r = 11700
We'll use 11700 acres for the residential portion.
And also r-7200 = 11700-7200 = 4500 acres are set aside for the business district.
The largest region (residential) uses 11700 acres of land.
Note the jump from 10% to 65% involves a multiplier of 6.5 because 65/10 = 6.5
So if g is the amount of government land used, then,
6.5g = r
6.5g = 11700
g = 11700/(6.5)
g = 1800
So, the area, in acres, devoted to government use is 1800.

Step-by-step explanation:
Concept:
Here, we need to know the idea of completing the square.
Completing the square is a technique for converting a quadratic polynomial of the form ax²+bx+c to the form (x-h)²for some values of h.
If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation.
Solve:
If we expand (x - h)² = x² - 2 · x · h + h²
Given equation:
x² - (3/4)x +___ = (x - __)²Since [x² - (3/4)x +___] is the expanded form of (x - h)², then (-3/4)x must be equal to 2 · x · h. Thus, we would be able to find the value of h.
(-3/4) x = 2 · x · h ⇔ Given-3/4 = 2 · h ⇔ Eliminate xh = -3/8 ⇔ Divide 2 on both sidesFinally, we plug the final value back to the equation.
x² - 2 · x · h + h² = (x - h)²x² - (3/4)x + (-3/8)² = (x + 3/8)²x² - (3/4)x + 9/64 = (x + 3/8)²Hope this helps!! :)

Clara made two investments. Investment A has an initial value of $500 and
increases by $45 every year. Investment B has an initial value of $300 and
increases by 10% every year. Clara checks the value of her investments once a
year, at the end of the year. What is the first year in which Clara sees that
Investment B's value has exceeded investment A's value?
Answers
Answer:
The first year in which Clara will see that Investment B's value will exceed Investment A's value will be year 14.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Clara made two investments, and Investment A has an initial value of $ 500 and increases by $ 45 every year, while Investment B has an initial value of $ 300 and increases by 10% every year, and Clara checks the value of her investments once to year, at the end of the year, to determine what is the first year in which Clara sees that Investment B's value has exceeded investment A's value, the following calculation must be performed:
500 + (45 x X) = A
300 x 1.1 ^ X = B
A = 500 + 45 x 5 = 500 + 225 = 725
B = 300 x 1.1 ^ 5 = 483.15
A = 500 + 45 x 10 = 950
B = 300 x 1.1 ^ 10 = 778.12
A = 500 + 45 x 15 = 1175
B = 300 x 1.1 ^ 15 = 1253.17
A = 500 + 45 x 14 = 1,130
B = 300 x 1.1 ^ 14 = 1,139.25
Therefore, the first year in which Clara will see that Investment B's value will exceed Investment A's value will be year 14.

Answers
Answer:
(8.608, 9.392)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the following information
Population standard deviation = 1.8
Sample mean = 9 hours
Sample n = 81
C I = 95%
So level of significance
Alpha = 1-0.95
= 0.05
Z critical at 0.05/2
Z(0.025) = 1.96
The 95% c.i =
9+-(1.96)(1.8/√81)
9+-(1.96)(0.2)
(9-0.392)(9+0.392)

Find the value of a for which there is no term independent of x in the ezlxpansion of
[tex](1 + ax {}^{2} )( \frac{2}{x} - 3x) {}^{6} [/tex]
Answers
"no terms independent of x" basically means there is no constant term, or the coefficient of x ⁰ is zero.
Recall the binomial theorem:
[tex]\displaystyle (a+b)^n=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom nk a^{n-k}b^k[/tex]
So we have
[tex]\displaystyle \left(1+ax^2\right)\left(\frac2x-3x\right)^6 = \left(1+ax^2\right) \sum_{k=0}^6 \binom 6k \left(\frac2x\right)^{6-k}(-3x)^k[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle \left(1+ax^2\right)\left(\frac2x-3x\right)^6 = \left(1+ax^2\right) \sum_{k=0}^6 2^{6-k}(-3)^k\binom 6k x^{2k-6}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle \left(1+ax^2\right)\left(\frac2x-3x\right)^6 = \sum_{k=0}^6 2^{6-k}(-3)^k\binom 6k x^{2k-6}+a\sum_{k=0}^6 2^{6-k}(-3)^k\binom 6k x^{2k-4}[/tex]
The first sum contributes a x ⁰ term for 2k - 6 = 0, or k = 3, while the second sum contributes a x ⁰ term for 2k - 4 = 0, or k = 2. The coefficient of the sum of these terms must be zero:
[tex]2^{6-3}(-3)^3\dbinom 63 + a\times2^{6-2}(-3)^2\dbinom 62 = 0[/tex]
which reduces to
2160a - 4320 = 0
2160a = 4320
a = 2

Answer:
[tex] \frac{1}{1 + \cos(x) } [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]y = \frac{ \sin(x) }{1 + \cos(x) } [/tex]
differentiating numerator wrt x :-
(sinx)' = cos x
differentiating denominator wrt x :-
(1 + cos x)' = (cosx)' = - sinx
Let's say the denominator was "v" and the numerator was "u"[tex] (\frac{u}{v} )' = \frac{v. \: (u)' - u.(v)' }{ {v}^{2} } [/tex]
here,
since u is the numerator u= sinx and u = cos x v(denominator) = 1 + cos x; v' = - sinx[tex] = \frac{((1 + \cos \: x) \cos \: x )- (\sin \: x. ( - \sin \: x) ) }{( {1 + \cos(x)) }^{2} } [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{ \cos(x) + \cos {}^{2} (x) + \sin {}^{2} (x) }{(1 + \cos \: x) {}^{2} } [/tex]
since cos²x + sin²x = 1
[tex] = \frac{ \cos \: x + 1}{(1 + \cos \: x) {}^{2} } [/tex]
diving numerator and denominator by 1 + cos x
[tex] = \frac{1}{1 + \cos(x) } [/tex]
A fruit company delivers its fruit in 2 types of boxes: large and small. A delivery of 3 large boxes and 5 small boxes has a total weight of 79 kilograms. A delivery of 12 large boxes and 2 small boxes has a total weight of 199 kilograms. How much does each type of box weight?
Answers
9514 1404 393
Answer:
large: 15.5 kgsmall 6.5 kgStep-by-step explanation:
Let x and y represent the weights of the large and small boxes, respectively. Then the two delivery weights give rise to the equations ...
3x +5y -79 = 0
12x +2y -199 = 0
Using the "cross multiplication method" of solving these equations, we find ...
d1 = (3)(2) -(12)(5) = 6 -60 = -54
d2 = 5(-199) -(2)(-79) = -995 +158 = -837
d3 = -79(12) -(-199)(3) = -948 +597 = -351
1/d1 = x/d2 = y/d3
x = d2/d1 = -837/-54 = 15.5
y = d3/d1 = -351/-54 = 6.5
The large boxes weigh 15.5 kg; the small boxes weigh 6.5 kg.

Additional comment
My preferred quick and easy way to solve equations like this is using a graphing calculator. In addition to that, an algebraic method is shown.
The "cross-multiplication method" shown here is what I consider to be a simplified version of what you would find in videos. It is a variation of Cramer's rule and the Vedic maths methods of solving pairs of linear equations. I find it useful when "elimination" or "substitution" methods would result in annoying numbers. In such cases, it uses fewer arithmetic operations than would be required by other methods.
Short description: writing the coefficients of the general form equations in 4 columns, where the last column is the same as the first, a "cross multiplication" is computed for each of the three pairs of columns. Those computations are of the form ...
