A fruit company delivers its fruit in two types of boxes: large and small. A delivery of 3 large boxes and 5 small boxes has a total weight of 88 kilograms. A delivery of 12 large boxes and 2 small boxes has a total weight of 235 kilograms. How much does each type of box weigh?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We need a system of equations here. The first equation is that 3L boxes + 5s boxes (L = large and s = small) = 88 kg so
3L + 5s = 88
12L + 2s = 235 according to the other information given.
Solve the first equation for either L or s. I'll solve for L, just because:
3L = 88 - 5s and
L = [tex]\frac{88}{3}-\frac{5}{3}s[/tex] and sub that into the second equation for L:
[tex]12(\frac{88}{3}-\frac{5}{3}s)+2s=235[/tex] and if you distribute the 12 into the parenthesis you'll simplify it down a bit to
352 - 20s + 2s = 235 and combine like terms:
-18s= -117 so
s = 6.5 kg and plug that in to solve for L:
L = [tex]\frac{88}{3}-\frac{5}{3}(6.5)[/tex] and
L = 18.5 kg

Write an inequality for the shaded region shown in the figure.
Answer:
the equation of the circle is x^2 + y^2 < 36

An automobile went 84 miles on 6.5 gallons of gasoline. At this rate, how many gallons would be needed to travel 126 miles
Answer:
10 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
84 ÷ 6.5 =12.9(The unit rate.)
Seeing as one gallon can get you 12.9 miles;
126÷12.9=9.7
So the answers 9.7 gallons, but if you need to round, then 10 to get a whole number.
Answer:
9.75
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write a ratio to solve
84 miles 126 miles
-------------- = -------------------
6.5 gallons x gallons
Using cross products
84 x = 6.5 * 126
84x=819
84x/84 = 819/84
x = 9.75
Simplify, write without exponents.

in a fruit punch drink,the 3 ingredients are apple juice,orange juice and cramberry juice.if 3/4 of the drink is apple juice and 1/10 is orange juice then write the ratio of cranberry juice to apple juice to orange juice in its simplest form
Answer:
3 : 15 : 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let cranberry juice = x,
3/4 + 1/10 + x = 1
x = 3/20
Ratio = cranberry : apple : orange
= 3/20 : 3/4 : 1/10
= 3 : 15 : 2 (Times everything with 20)
what is the value of x
Answer:
c 112⁰
Step-by-step explanation:
cuz the triangle is the same and x is on a straight line so get 180 - 68 = 112
Answer:
the angle opposite to x is 61 degree (being alternate angle)
so
x+ 61 = 180(being linear pair)
or, x = 180 - 61
so, x = 119
the answer is 119(d).

[tex]\int\limits^a_b {(1-x^{2} )^{3/2} } \, dx[/tex]
First integrate the indefinite integral,
[tex]\int(1-x^2)^{3/2}dx[/tex]
Let [tex]x=\sin(u)[/tex] which will make [tex]dx=\cos(u)du[/tex].
Then
[tex](1-x^2)^{3/2}=(1-\sin^2(u))^{3/2}=\cos^3(u)[/tex] which makes [tex]u=\arcsin(x)[/tex] and our integral is reshaped,
[tex]\int\cos^4(u)du[/tex]
Use reduction formula,
[tex]\int\cos^m(u)du=\frac{1}{m}\sin(u)\cos^{m-1}(u)+\frac{m-1}{m}\int\cos^{m-2}(u)du[/tex]
to get,
[tex]\int\cos^4(u)du=\frac{1}{4}\sin(u)\cos^3(u)+\frac{3}{4}\int\cos^2(u)du[/tex]
Notice that,
[tex]\cos^2(u)=\frac{1}{2}(\cos(2u)+1)[/tex]
Then integrate the obtained sum,
[tex]\frac{1}{4}\sin(u)\cos^3(u)+\frac{3}{8}\int\cos(2u)du+\frac{3}{8}\int1du[/tex]
Now introduce [tex]s=2u\implies ds=2du[/tex] and substitute and integrate to get,
[tex]\frac{3\sin(s)}{16}+\frac{1}{4}\sin(u)\cos^3(u)+\frac{3}{8}\int1du[/tex]
[tex]\frac{3\sin(s)}{16}+\frac{3u}{4}+\frac{1}{4}\sin(u)\cos^3(u)+C[/tex]
Substitute 2u back for s,
[tex]\frac{3u}{8}+\frac{1}{4}\sin(u)\cos^3(u)+\frac{3}{8}\sin(u)\cos(u)+C[/tex]
Substitute [tex]\sin^{-1}[/tex] for u and simplify with [tex]\cos(\arcsin(x))=\sqrt{1-x^2}[/tex] to get the result,
[tex]\boxed{\frac{1}{8}(x\sqrt{1-x^2}(5-2x^2)+3\arcsin(x))+C}[/tex]
Let [tex]F(x)=\frac{1}{8}(x\sqrt{1-x^2}(5-2x^2)+3\arcsin(x))+C[/tex]

According to government data, the probability than an adult never had the flu is 19%. You randomly select 70 adults and ask if he or she ever had the flu. Decide whether you can use the normal distribution to approximate the binomial distribution, If so, find the mean and standard deviation, If not, explain why. Round to the nearest hundredth when necessary.
Answer:
Since [tex]np \geq 10[/tex] and [tex]n(1-p) \geq 10[/tex], the normal distribution can be used to approximate the binomial distribution.
The mean is 13.3 and the standard deviation is 3.28.
Step-by-step explanation:
Binomial probability distribution
Probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability.
Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]
The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]
Normal probability distribution
Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex], if [tex]np \geq 10[/tex] and [tex]n(1-p) \geq 10[/tex].
The probability than an adult never had the flu is 19%.
This means that [tex]p = 0.19[/tex]
You randomly select 70 adults and ask if he or she ever had the flu.
This means that [tex]n = 70[/tex]
Decide whether you can use the normal distribution to approximate the binomial distribution
[tex]np = 70*0.19 = 13.3 \geq 10[/tex]
[tex]n(1-p) = 70*0.81 = 56.7 \geq 10[/tex]
Since [tex]np \geq 10[/tex] and [tex]n(1-p) \geq 10[/tex], the normal distribution can be used to approximate the binomial distribution.
Mean:
[tex]\mu = E(X) = np = 70*0.19 = 13.3[/tex]
Standard deviation:
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{70*0.19*0.81} = 3.28[/tex]
The mean is 13.3 and the standard deviation is 3.28.

lim(x-0) (sinx-1/x-1)
9514 1404 393
Answer:
as written: the limit does not existsin(x-1)/(x-1) has a limit of sin(1) ≈ 0.841 at x=0Step-by-step explanation:
The expression written is interpreted according to the order of operations as ...
sin(x) -(1/x) -1
As x approaches 0 from the left, this approaches +∞. As x approaches 0 from the right, this approaches -∞. These values are different, so the limit does not exist.
__
Maybe you intend ...
sin(x -1)/(x -1)
This can be evaluated directly at x=0 to give sin(-1)/-1 = sin(1). The argument is interpreted to be radians, so sin(1) ≈ 0.84147098...
The limit is about 0.841 at x=0.

The sum of two positive integers is 19 and the product is 48
Answer:
16 and 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y represent the positive integers. We know that
[tex]x + y = 19[/tex]
[tex]xy = 48[/tex]
Isolate the top equation for the x variable.
[tex]x = 19 - y[/tex]
Substitute into the second equation.
[tex](19 - y)y = 48[/tex]
[tex]19y - {y}^{2} = 48[/tex]
[tex] - {y}^{2} + 19y = 48[/tex]
[tex] - {y}^{2} + 19y - 48[/tex]
[tex](y - 16)(y - 3)[/tex]
So our values are
16 and 3.
What are the zeros of this function?
Answer:
The zeros of this function would be: x = 4 and x = 6, assuming that option got caught off while you were taking a picture.
Step-by-step explanation:
When they're asking for the zeros of this type of function, where is forms this kind of U-shape or also known as a quadratic equation, they're asking what the x-value is when y = 0, or when the line of the function touches the x-axis. Notice that it happens when x = 4 and when x = 6.
In short, it's asking what the x-value is of the points of the function when it intersects the x-axis. Hopefully my explanation wasn't too confusing. Good luck on the rest of the quiz!
