9514 1404 393

Answer:

Step-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 ...

  [tex]\text{column pair: }\begin{array}{cc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\ \Rightarrow\ d_n=ad-cb[/tex]

The relationship between the differences d₁, d₂, and d₃ and the variable values is shown above.

Answer: x² - (3/4)x + 9/64 = (x + 3/8)²

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:

Since [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.

Finally, we plug the final value back to the equation.

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

Harry collected 180 stamps

Harry's sister collected 60 stamps

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the number of stamps that Harry's sister colleted.

The number of stamps Harry colleted is 3 time as many as his sister's

⇒ 3*X + X = 240

⇒ X = 60

⇒ 240 - 60= 180

Answer:

180 for harry and 60 for his sister

Answer:

8 inches

48 inches

total 56 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

x+6x = 56

7x = 56

Divide by 7

7x/7 = 56/7

x = 8

The smaller piece is x inches or 8 inches

The larger piece is 6x inches or 6*8 =48 inches

8+48 = 56 inches

The total length is 56 inches

Answer:

8 inches, and 48 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

x+6x=56

Solve the equation.

7x=56

x=8

Interpret the results and write the answer in words.

The smaller piece is x = 8 in.

The longer piece is 6x = 6 (8) = 48 in.

The lengths of the two pieces are 8 in

and 48 in.

y=-4x²-8x+1

а<0 so we will be looking for maximum

Answer:

D. 9n = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

If we need one adult for every 9 students, we can represent that as 9n:

if n is the number of adults.

Because we have 27 students, the equation 9n = 27 works.

A better way of formatting the equation is:

n = 27/9

Because it directly shows what the number of adults is, but with some reformatting, it is clearly the same equation.

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)

(8.608, 9.392)

This is the confidence interval at 95%.

I hope you find my solution useful. Good luck!!!

Answer:

Fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

People who live in Florida and also have annual pass to Disney world is 221, sample size selected for group 1 is 350.

People who do not live in Florida and have annual pass to Disney world is 365, sample size selected for Group 2 is 650.

Group 1 sample proportion is : 221 / 350 = 0.6314

Group 2 sample proportion is 365 / 650 = 0.5615

Test statistics is 0.8317

Since test stats value is greater than the sample proportion significance level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

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

[tex] (\frac{u}{v} )' = \frac{v. \: (u)' - u.(v)' }{ {v}^{2} } [/tex]

here,

[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]

Answer:

(0.123 ; 0.277)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Sample size, n = 180

x = 36

Proportion, p = x / n = 36/180 = 0.2

Confidence interval for sample proportion :

Confidence interval :

p ± Zcritical * √p(1 - p) / n

Zcritical at 99% = 2.576

0.2 ± 2.576 * √0.2(1 - 0.2) / 180

0.2 ± 2.576 * 0.0298142

0.2 ± 0.0768013792

(0.123 ; 0.277)

Answer:

9876

Step-by-step explanation:

7:5

x:4115

To find x mulitply 7 by 823 (because this is what we multiplied 5 by in order to get 4115)

7*823= 5761

Take the sum to find the total number of votes

4115+5761= 9876

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.

Answer:

4/7 > 2/10

Step-by-step explanation:

4/7 is close to 1/2

2/10 is close to 0

4/7 > 2/10

"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
