There are 4 roads leading from Bluffton to Hardeeville, 10 roads leading from Hardeeville to Savannah, and 5 roads leading from Savannah to Macon. How many ways are there to get from Bluffton to Macon

Answer:

-5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the slope intercept form: y = mx + b

Note that:

y = (x , y)

m = slope

x = (x , y)

b = y-intercept

Isolate the variable, y. First, Subtract 3x from both sides:

3x (-3x) - 5y = 12 (-3x)

-5y = -3x + 12

Next, divide -5 from both sides. Remember to divide from all terms within the equation:

(-5y)/-5 = (-3x + 12)/-5

y = (-3x/-5) + (-12/5)

Simplify.

y = (3x/5) - 12/5

y = (3/5)x - 12/5

You are trying to find the perpendicular slope to this line. To do so, simply flip the slope (m) as well as the sign:

Original m = 3/5

Flipped m = -5/3

-5/3 is your perpendicular slope.

Answer:

          5                                

m =  - ----    perpendicular slope

          3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 5y = 12 -------->> convert to y = mx + b

- 5y = - 3x + 12

- 5y = - (3x + 12) --- eliminate the negative

5y = 3x + 12

     3x + 12

y = -------------

         5

       3           12

y = -----x  +   -----

       5            5  

the above equation is the form of  y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the intercept

                            5                                

therefore,  m =  - ----    perpendicular slope

                             3                        

Answer: The length is 4 centimeters and the width is 6 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the length of the  rectangle is eight centimeters less than twice the width then we could represent it by the equation L= 2w - 8 .   And we know that to find the area of a rectangle we multiply the length by the width  and they've already given the area  so we will represent the width by w since it is unknown.

Now we know the length is 2w- 8 and the width is w so we would multiply them and set them equal to 24.

w(2w-8) = 24

2[tex]w^{2}[/tex] - 8w = 24     subtract 24 from both sides to set the whole equation equal zero and solve. solve using any method. I will solve by factoring.

2[tex]w^{2}[/tex] - 8w -24 = 0      divide each term by 2.

[tex]w^{2}[/tex] - 4w - 12 = 0          Five two numbers that multiply to get -12 and to -4

[tex]w^{2}[/tex] +2w - 6w - 12 = 0    Group the left hand side and factor.

w(w+2) -6( w + 2) = 0   factor out w+2

(w+2)(w-6) = 0         Set them both equal zero.

w + 2 =0      or w - 6 = 0  

    -2  -2                + 6   +6

w= -2       or   w=6  

Since we are dealing with distance -2 can't represent a distance so the wide has to 6.  

Now it says that the length is 8 less that twice the width.

So  2(6) - 8 = 12 -8 = 4  So the length in this care is 4.

Check.

6 * 4 = 24

24 = 24

b) 3, 6, 4  = Obtuse

c) 8, 12, 15 = Obtuse

A triangle is a three sided polygon, which has three vertices and three angles which has the sum 180 degrees.

Given that;

The sides are,

a) 20, 21, 28

b) 3, 6, 4

c) 8, 12, 15

Now,

We know that;

If three sides of a triangle are a, b and c.

Then, We get;

If a² + b² = c², then the triangle is right triangle.

If a² + b² > c², then the triangle is acute triangle.

If a² + b² < c², then the triangle is obtuse triangle.

Here, For option a;

⇒ 20, 21, 28

Clearly, a² + b² = 20² + 21²

                       = 400 + 441

                       = 841

And, c² = 28² = 784

Thus, a² + b² > c²

Hence, It shows the acute angle.

For option b;

⇒ 3, 6, 4

Clearly, a² + b² = 3² + 4²

                       = 9 + 16

                       = 25

And, c² = 6² = 36

Thus, a² + b² < c²

Hence, It shows the obtuse angle.

For option c;

⇒ 8, 12, 15

Clearly, a² + b² = 8² + 12²

                       = 64 + 144

                       = 208

And, c² = 15² = 225

Thus, a² + b² < c²

Hence, It shows the obtuse angle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Pizza order :

Size = small, medium, large, or extra large = 4 possible sizes

Toppings = any combination of 8 possible toppings (getting no toppings is allowed, as is getting all 8).

Combination of Toppings = 2^8

Four different sizes of pizza = 4

Answer:

  A.  1,162.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the next two terms and add them up:

  S5 = 600 +300 +150 +75 +37.5 = 1162.5 . . . . matches choice A

================================================

Explanation:

{600, 300, 150, ...} is a geometric sequence starting at a = 600 and has common ratio r = 1/2 = 0.5, this means we cut each term in half to get the next term. We could do this to generate five terms and then add them up. Or we could use the formula below with n = 5

Sn = a*(1-r^n)/(1-r)

S5 = 600*(1-0.5^5)/(1-0.5)

S5 = 1,162.5

-----------

Check:

first five terms = {600, 300, 150, 75, 37.5}

S5 = sum of the first five terms

S5 = 600+300+150+75+37.5

S5 = 1,162.5

Because n = 5 is relatively small, we can quickly confirm the answer. With larger values of n, a spreadsheet is the better option.

Answer:

less than

Step-by-step explanation:

If the normality requirement is not satisfied​ (that is, ​np(1​ - p) is not at least​ 10), then a​ 95% confidence interval about the population proportion will include the population proportion in​ _less than__ 95% of the intervals.

The confidence interval consist of all reasonable values of a population mean. These are value for which the null hypothesis will not be rejected.

So, let assume that If the 95%  confidence interval contains the value for the hypothesized mean, then the sample mean  is reasonably close to the hypothesized mean. The effect of this is that the p- value is going to be greater than 0.05, so we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

On the other hand,

If the 95%  confidence interval do not contains the value for the hypothesized mean, then the sample mean  is far away from the hypothesized mean. The effect of this is that the p- value is going to be lesser than 0.05, so we reject the null hypothesis.

Answer:

Mean age: 48

Standard deviation: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Mean

The formula for Mean = Sum of terms/ Number of terms

Number of terms

= 42 + 54 + 50 + 54 + 50 + 42 + 46 + 46 + 48+ 48/ 10

= 480/10

= 48

The mean age is 48

b) Standard deviation

The formula for Standard deviation =

√(x - Mean)²/n

Where n = number of terms

Standard deviation =

√[(42 - 48)² + (54 - 48)² + (50 - 48)² +(54 - 48)² + (50 - 48)² +(42 - 48)² + (46 - 48)² + (46 - 48)² + (48 - 48)² + (48 - 48)² / 10]

= √-6² + 6² + 2² + 6² + 2² + -6² + -2² + -2² + 0² + 0²/10

=√36 + 36 + 4 + 36 + 4 + 36 + 4 + 4 + 0 + 0/ 10

=√160/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

a

   The  null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : \mu = 35 .1 \ million \ shares[/tex]

    The  alternative hypothesis  [tex]H_a : \mu \ne 35.1\ million \ shares[/tex]

b

 The   95% confidence interval is  [tex]27.475 < \mu < 37.925[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question the we are told that

      The  population mean is  [tex]\mu = 35.1 \ million \ shares[/tex]

      The  sample size is  n = 30

       The  sample mean is  [tex]\= x = 32.7 \ million\ shares[/tex]

       The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 14.6 \ million\ shares[/tex]

Given that the confidence level is  [tex]95\%[/tex] then the level of significance is mathematically represented as

                  [tex]\alpha = 100-95[/tex]

                  [tex]\alpha = 5\%[/tex]

=>               [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table

    The value is  [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96[/tex]

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

                 [tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{ \sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

substituting values

                [tex]E = 1.96 * \frac{ 14.6 }{\sqrt{30} }[/tex]

                [tex]E = 5.225[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval confidence interval is mathematically represented as

              [tex]\= x -E < \mu < \= x +E[/tex]

substituting values

               [tex]32.7 - 5.225 < \mu < 32.7 + 5.225[/tex]

                [tex]27.475 < \mu < 37.925[/tex]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is possible that after an elastic collision a moving mass (1) strikes a stationary mass (2) and the two objects will have exactly the same final speed.

During an elastic collision, the momentum and kinetic energy are both conserved. Since one of the object is a stationary object, its velocity will be zero hence the other moving object will collide with the stationary object and cause both of them to move with a common velocity. The expression for their common velocity can be derived using the law of conservation of energy.

Law of conservation of energy states that the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to the sum of momentum of the bodies after  collision.

Since momentum = mass*velocity

Before collision

Momentum of body of mass m1 and velocity u1  = m1u1

Momentum of body of mass m2 and velocity u2  = m2u2

Since the second body is stationary, u2 = 0m/s

Momentum of body of mass m2 and velocity u2  = m1(0) = 0kgm/s

Sum of their momentum before collision = m1u1+0 = m1u1 ... 1

After collision

Momentum of body of mass m1 and velocity vf  = m1vf

Momentum of body of mass m2 and velocity vf  = m2vf

vf is their common velocity.

Sum of their momentum before collision = m1vf+m2vf ... 2

Equating 1 and 2 according to the law;

m1u1 = m1vf+m2vf

m1u1 = (m1+m2)vf

vf = m1u1/m1+m2

vf s their common velocity after collision. This shows that there is possibility that they have the same velocity after collision.

Answer:

Median; 60

Step-by-step explanation:

For a data plot as shown in the question above, one easier measure of center that can be used for the data set represented is the median.

From the dot plot, we can easily pinpoint the exact median, which can be used as a measure of center.

There are 11 data points represented on the dot plot by 11 dots. The median, that is the median value of the data set, would be the 6th value represented by the 6th dot on the dot plot.

Thus, the middle value is 60.

60 is the median of the data set.

Answer: x=60°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°. With this, we can find x°.

33+87+x=180                         [combine like terms]

120+x=180                               [subtact both sides by 120]

x=60°

Answer:

60 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

All the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees.

We know two angles, 33 degrees and 87 degrees.

Now we have to find the last one.

So we make an equation to solve this.

33 + 87 + x = 180

120 + x = 180

Subtracting 120 fr0m both sides get us,

120 - 120 + x = 180 -120

x = 60

60 degrees

We can check by adding all three angles by substituting 60 for x,

33 + 87 + 60 = 120 + 60 = 180 degrees

Thus,

<ABC + <BCD + <CDA + <DAC = [tex]360^{0}[/tex]

AC ⊥ BD (diagonals are perpendicular to each other)

AC ≅ BD (congruent property of diagonals)

Therefore, the parallelogram is a rectangle.

Answer: You will need 8 cup scales

Step-by-step explanation:

kg=1000 grams

2000/250=8

In 8 cups it is possible to measure the 2kg or 2000 grams but in three weighs it is not possible to measure the 2kg or 2000 grams.

Fraction number consists of two parts, one is the top of the fraction number which is called the numerator and the second is the bottom of the fraction number which is called the denominator.

It is given that:

You have 9kg of oats and cup scales that gears of 50g and 200g.

Total oats need to measure = 9kg

As we know in 1 kg there are 1000 grams.

1 kg = 1000 grams

9kg = 9000 grams

2kg = 2000 grams

Cup scales that gears: 50g and 200g

The number of cups if consider one cup is of 250 grams( = 200 + 50)

Number of cups = 2000/250

Number of cups = 8

In three weighs it is not possible to measure the 2kg or 2000 grams.

Thus, in 8 cups it is possible to measure the 2kg or 2000 grams but in three weighs it is not possible to measure the 2kg or 2000 grams.

Add 3x to both sides:

-4x - 3 = 13

Add 3 to both sides:

-4x = 16

Divide both sides by -4:

x = -4

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We have a 5x is one equation and a -5x in another equation. We can combine the two equations to cancel out the x and then solve! This is called solving by elimination.

5x-4y=6

+

-5x+4y=-10

0= -4

Since we lost our x and y while solving, there cannot be any solution.

Therefore, the answer is no solution.

Have a wonderful day!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

To calculate the equation of the line first find the slope

Slope of the line using points

(0 , 0) and (4 , -2) is

[tex]m = \frac{ - 2 - 0}{4 - 0} = \frac{ - 2}{4} = - \frac{1}{2} [/tex]

Now use the formula

y - y1 = m(x - x1) to find the equation of the line using any of the points

Using point (0,0)

That's

[tex]y - 0 = - \frac{ 1}{2} (x - 0)[/tex]

The final answer is

[tex]y = - \frac{1}{2} x[/tex]

Hope this helps you

Answer:

F

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: You are correct. The answer is choice C.

The sum of the vectors is the resultant vector, which is where the net force is directed.

An example would be if you had a ball rolling on a table and you bumped the ball perpendicular to its initial velocity, then the ball would move at a diagonal angle rather than move straight in the direction where you bumped it.

Acceleration is the change in velocity over time, so the acceleration vector tells us how the velocity's direction is changing.

The direction of the acceleration on a body upon which multiple forces are applied depends on the direction of the netforce acting on the body.

Therefore, acceleration will be due in the direction of the netforce.

Answer:

The 9th percentile is 40.52.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the random variable X is normally distributed with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 7.

Let X = the random variable

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

                            Z  =  [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean = 50

           [tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = 7

So, X ~ Normal([tex]\mu=50, \sigma^{2} = 7^{2}[/tex])

Now, the 9th percentile is calculated as;

            P(X < x) = 0.09         {where x is the required value}

            P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex] < [tex]\frac{x-50}{7}[/tex] ) = 0.09

            P(Z < [tex]\frac{x-50}{7}[/tex] ) = 0.09

Now, in the z table the critical value of x that represents the below 9% of the area is given as -1.3543, i.e;

                     [tex]\frac{x-50}{7}=-1.3543[/tex]

                     [tex]x-50=-1.3543 \times 7[/tex]

                     [tex]x=50 -9.48[/tex]

                      x = 40.52

Hence, the 9th percentile is 40.52.
