Answer:
n = 55/8
Step-by-step explanation:
You can solve it by cross multiplying. Where you multiply the denominator of the fraction on the left side with the numerator on the right side, and vice versa.
11/n = 8/5
n x 8 = 11 x 5
8n = 55
n = 55/8
(or 6.875)
Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\pink{n = 7 \frac{3}{8} }}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] \frac{11}{n} = \frac{8}{5} \\ [/tex]
Use cross multiplication
[tex]11 \times 5 = 8 \times n \\ 55 = 8n \\ \frac{55}{8} = \frac{8n}{8} \\ n = 7 \frac{3}{8} [/tex]
A rectangular playground is to be fenced off and divided in two by another fence parallel to one side of the playground. Three hundred feet of fencing is used
dimensions of the playground that maximize the total enclosed area. What is the maximum area?
The smaller dimension is
feet
Answer:
50 ft by 75 ft3750 square feetStep-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of the side not parallel to the partition. Then the length of the side parallel to the partition is ...
y = (300 -2x)/3
And the enclosed area is ...
A = xy = x(300 -2x)/3 = (2/3)(x)(150 -x)
This is the equation of a parabola with x-intercepts at x=0 and x=150. The line of symmetry, hence the vertex, is located halfway between these values, at x=75.
The maximum area is enclosed when the dimensions are ...
50 ft by 75 ft
That maximum area is 3750 square feet.

Comment on the solution
The generic solution to problems of this sort is that half the fence (cost) is used in each of the orthogonal directions. Here, half the fence is 150 ft, so the long side measures 150'/2 = 75', and the short side measures 150'/3 = 50'. This remains true regardless of the number of partitions, and regardless if part or all of one side is missing (e.g. bounded by a barn or river).

Answer:
a ≈ 2.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the Cosine rule in Δ ABC
a² = b² + c² - 2bc cos A
Here b = 3, c = 4 and A = 32° , thus
a² = 3² + 4² - (2 × 3 × 4 × cos32° )
= 9 + 16 - 24cos32°
= 25 - 24cos32° ( take the square root of both sides )
a = [tex]\sqrt{25-24cos32}[/tex] ≈ 2.2

A person has a bag containing dimes and nickels. There are a total of 120 coins in the bag, and the total value of the coins is $9.25. Determine how many dimes and nickels are in the bag. There are _____dimes. There are _____ nickels.
Answer:
There are 65 dimes. There are 55 nickels.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be solved using a system of equations.
I am going to say that:
x is the number of dimes
y is the number of nickels.
There are a total of 120 coins in the bag
This means that x + y = 120.
The total value of the coins is $9.25.
The dime is worth $0.10 and the nickel is worth $0.05. So
0.1x + 0.05y = 9.25
System:
[tex]x + y = 120[/tex]
[tex]0.1x + 0.05y = 9.25[/tex]
From the first equation:
[tex]y = 120 - x[/tex]
Replacing in the second:
[tex]0.1x + 0.05y = 9.25[/tex]
[tex]0.1x + 0.05(120 - x) = 9.25[/tex]
[tex]0.1x + 6 - 0.05x = 9.25[/tex]
[tex]0.05x = 3.25[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{3.25}{0.05}[/tex]
[tex]x = 65[/tex]
[tex]y = 120 - x = 120 - 65 = 55[/tex]
There are 65 dimes. There are 55 nickels.
A student writes an incorrect step while checking if the sum of the measures of the two remote interior angles of triangle ABC below is equal to the measure of the exterior angle. A triangle ABC is shown. The base of the triangle extends into a straight line. The angle formed between this straight line and the edge of the triangle is marked as p. The angle adjacent to p is marked as o, and the other two angles inside the triangle are marked as m and n. Step 1: m∠m + m∠n + m∠p = 180 degrees (sum of angles of a triangle) Step 2: m∠p + m∠o = 180 degrees (adjacent supplementary angles) Step 3: Therefore, m∠m + m∠n + m∠o = m∠o + m∠p Step 4: So, m∠m + m∠n = m∠p In which step did the student first make a mistake and how can it be corrected? Step 1; it should be m∠m + m∠n + m∠o = 180 degrees (sum of angles in a triangle) Step 1; it should be m∠m + m∠n + m∠o = 90 degrees (adjacent angles) Step 2; it should be m∠o + m∠p = 180 degrees (alternate exterior angles) Step 2; m∠p − m∠o = 90 degrees (alternate interior angles)
Answer:
(A)Step 1; it should be m∠m + m∠n + m∠o = 180 degrees (sum of angles in a triangle)
Step-by-step explanation:
In the triangle, the exterior angle = pThe adjacent interior angle =oThe two opposite angles are marked m and nThe steps followed by the student are:
Step 1: m∠m + m∠n + m∠p = 180 degrees (sum of angles of a triangle)
Step 2: m∠p + m∠o = 180 degrees (adjacent supplementary angles)
Step 3: Therefore, m∠m + m∠n + m∠o = m∠o + m∠p
Step 4: So, m∠m + m∠n = m∠p
We observe that the student made a mistake in Step 1, it should be m∠m + m∠n + m∠o = 180 degrees (sum of angles in a triangle).
p is outside the triangle, therefore it cannot form one of the angles in the triangle.

What is the solution to the system of linear equations below?
x+4y=22
2x+y=9
Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\sf \ \ \ x = 2 \ \ and \ \ y = 5 \ \ \ }[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
hello, we have two equation
(1) x + 4y = 22
(2) 2x + y = 9
let's multiply (1) by 2 and subtract (2)
2x + 8y - (2x + y) = 2*22 - 9 = 44 - 9 = 35
<=> 2x + 8y -2x -y = 35
<=> 7y = 35
<=> y = 35/7 = 5
we replace this value in (1) and it comes
x + 4*5 = 22
<=> x = 22 - 20 = 2
so the solution is
x = 2 and y = 5

The initial population of a town in the year 2010 was 20 000. By 2014, the population had grown exponentially to 32 500 people. Write an equation to represent the population of the town (P) over time in years (n).
Answer:
P = 20000×1.625^(n/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
An exponential equation can be written using the given data:
value = (initial value)×(growth factor in period)^(n/(period))
Here, the growth is by a factor of 32500/20000 = 1.625, and the period is 4 years. Then your exponential equation is ...
P = 20000×1.625^(n/4)

A data set includes 104body temperatures of healthy adult humans having a mean of 98.7degreesFand a standard deviation of 0.66degreesF.Construct a 99%confidence interval estimate of the mean body temperature of all healthy humans. What does the sample suggest about the use of 98.6degreesFas the mean body temperature?
Answer:
The 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean body temperature of all healthy humans is between 98.53ºF and 98.87 ºF. 98.6ºF is part of the interval, so the sample suggests that the use of 98.6ºF as the mean body temperature is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution to solve this question.
The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So
df = 104 - 1 = 103
99% confidence interval
Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 103 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995[/tex]. So we have T = 2.624
The margin of error is:
[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.624\frac{0.66}{\sqrt{104}} = 0.17[/tex]
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 98.7 - 0.17 = 98.53ºF.
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 98.7 + 0.17 = 98.87 ºF.
The 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean body temperature of all healthy humans is between 98.53ºF and 98.87 ºF. 98.6ºF is part of the interval, so the sample suggests that the use of 98.6ºF as the mean body temperature is correct.
Suppose a random variable x is best described by a uniform probability distribution with range 22 to 55. Find the value of a that makes the following probability statements true.
a. P(X <= a) =0.95
b. P(X < a)= 0.49
c. P(X >= a)= 0.85
d. P(X >a )= 0.89
e. P(1.83 <= x <=a)= 0.31
Answer:
(a) The value of a is 53.35.
(b) The value of a is 38.17.
(c) The value of a is 26.95.
(d) The value of a is 25.63.
(e) The value of a is 12.06.
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability density function of X is:
[tex]f_{X}(x)=\frac{1}{55-22}=\frac{1}{33}[/tex]
Here, 22 < X < 55.
(a)
Compute the value of a as follows:
[tex]P(X\leq a)=\int\limits^{a}_{22} {\frac{1}{33}} \, dx \\\\0.95=\frac{1}{33}\cdot \int\limits^{a}_{22} {1} \, dx \\\\0.95\times 33=[x]^{a}_{22}\\\\31.35=a-22\\\\a=31.35+22\\\\a=53.35[/tex]
Thus, the value of a is 53.35.
(b)
Compute the value of a as follows:
[tex]P(X< a)=\int\limits^{a}_{22} {\frac{1}{33}} \, dx \\\\0.95=\frac{1}{33}\cdot \int\limits^{a}_{22} {1} \, dx \\\\0.49\times 33=[x]^{a}_{22}\\\\16.17=a-22\\\\a=16.17+22\\\\a=38.17[/tex]
Thus, the value of a is 38.17.
(c)
Compute the value of a as follows:
[tex]P(X\geq a)=\int\limits^{55}_{a} {\frac{1}{33}} \, dx \\\\0.85=\frac{1}{33}\cdot \int\limits^{55}_{a} {1} \, dx \\\\0.85\times 33=[x]^{55}_{a}\\\\28.05=55-a\\\\a=55-28.05\\\\a=26.95[/tex]
Thus, the value of a is 26.95.
(d)
Compute the value of a as follows:
[tex]P(X\geq a)=\int\limits^{55}_{a} {\frac{1}{33}} \, dx \\\\0.89=\frac{1}{33}\cdot \int\limits^{55}_{a} {1} \, dx \\\\0.89\times 33=[x]^{55}_{a}\\\\29.37=55-a\\\\a=55-29.37\\\\a=25.63[/tex]
Thus, the value of a is 25.63.
(e)
Compute the value of a as follows:
[tex]P(1.83\leq X\leq a)=\int\limits^{a}_{1.83} {\frac{1}{33}} \, dx \\\\0.31=\frac{1}{33}\cdot \int\limits^{a}_{1.83} {1} \, dx \\\\0.31\times 33=[x]^{a}_{1.83}\\\\10.23=a-1.83\\\\a=10.23+1.83\\\\a=12.06[/tex]
Thus, the value of a is 12.06.
A triangular plot of land has one side along a straight road measuring 147147 feet. A second side makes a 2323degrees° angle with the road, and the third side makes a 2222degrees° angle with the road. How long are the other two sides?
Answer:
81.23 ft and 77.88 ft long
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the internal angles of a triangle is 180 degrees, the missing angle is:
[tex]a+b+c=180\\a+23+22=180\\a=135^o[/tex]
According to the Law of Sines:
[tex]\frac{A}{sin(a)}= \frac{B}{sin(b)}= \frac{C}{sin(c)}[/tex]
Let A be the side that is 147 feet long, the length of the other two sides are:
[tex]\frac{A}{sin(a)}= \frac{B}{sin(b)}\\B=\frac{sin(23)*147}{sin(135)}\\B=81.23\ ft\\\\\frac{A}{sin(a)}= \frac{C}{sin(c)}\\C=\frac{sin(22)*147}{sin(135)}\\C=77.88\ ft[/tex]
The other two sides are 81.23 ft and 77.88 ft long
A contractor is setting up new accounts for the local cable company. She earns $75 for each customer account she sets up. Which expression models this situation, and how much will she profit if she sets up 8 customers? (The variable c represents the number of customers.) Question 4 options: A) c – 75; $9.78 B) 75c; $600 C) c + 75; $600 D) 75/c; $9.78
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The contractor gets $75 for every single customer she sets up. Okay, so if she sets up 1 customer, she gets $75, if she sets up 2, she gets $150 and so on.
This is a multiplication expression since multiplication is just repeated addition, which is what is happening in this case, where the contractor gets $75 added to her account every time she sets another person up.
At this point you can just eliminate the other answer options except for B, so it is B.
But to double check... if you multiply 75 by 8, you would get $600, which is B.
Answer:
d
Step-by-step explanation:
75/c; $9.78

Pr(F)=0.2
[tex]Pr(E\cap F)=0.1.[/tex]
(a)Pr (E|F )
[tex]Pr (E|F )=\dfrac{Pr(E \cap F)}{Pr(F)} \\=\dfrac{0.1}{0.2}\\\\=0.5[/tex]
(b)Pr (F|E )
[tex]Pr (F|E )=\dfrac{Pr(E \cap F)}{Pr(E)} \\=\dfrac{0.1}{0.6}\\\\=0.17[/tex]
(c)Pr (E|F')
Pr(F')=1-P(F)
=1-0.2=0.8
[tex]Pr(E \cap F')=P(E)-P(E\cap F)\\=0.6-0.1\\=0.5[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]Pr (E|F' )=\dfrac{Pr(E \cap F')}{Pr(F')} \\=\dfrac{0.5}{0.8}\\\\=0.625[/tex]
(d)Pr(E'|F')
[tex]P(E'\cap F')=P(E \cup F)'\\=1-P(E \cup F)\\=1-[P(E)+P(F)-P(E\cap F)]\\=1-[0.6+0.2-0.1]\\=1-0.7\\=0.3[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]Pr (E'|F' )=\dfrac{Pr(E' \cap F')}{Pr(F')} \\=\dfrac{0.3}{0.8}\\\\=0.375[/tex]
The first steps in writing f(x) = 4x2 + 48x + 10 in vertex form are shown. f(x) = 4(x2 + 12x) + 10 (twelve-halves) squared = 36 What is the function written in vertex form?
Answer:
[tex]f(x)=4(x+6)^2-134[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are required to write the function[tex]f(x) = 4x^2 + 48x + 10[/tex] in vertex form.
First, bring the constant to the left-hand side.
[tex]f(x) -10= 4x^2 + 48x[/tex]
Factorize the right hand side.
[tex]f(x) -10= 4(x^2 + 12x)[/tex]
Take note of the factored term(4) and write it in the form below.
[tex]f(x) -10+4\Box= 4(x^2 + 12x+\Box)[/tex]
[tex]\Box = (\frac{\text{Coefficient of x}}{2} )^2\\\\\text{Coefficient of x}=12\\\\\Box = (\frac{12}{2} )^2 =6^2=36[/tex]
Substitute 36 for the boxes.
[tex]f(x) -10+4\boxed{36}= 4(x^2 + 12x+\boxed{36})[/tex]
[tex]f(x) -10+144= 4(x^2 + 12x+6^2)[/tex]
[tex]f(x) +134= 4(x+6)^2\\f(x)=4(x+6)^2-134[/tex]
The function written in vertex form is [tex]f(x)=4(x+6)^2-134[/tex]

The total number of hamburgers sold by a national fast-food chain is growing exponentially. If 3 billion had been sold by 2003 and 9 billion had been sold by 2010, how many will have been sold by 2013
Answer:
F(10) = 14.41 Billion
The total number of hamburgers that will have been sold by 2013 is 14.41 billion.
Step-by-step explanation:
The exponential function representing the total number of hamburgers sold by a national fast-food chain which grows exponentially can be expressed as;
f(t) = p(a)^t
In 2003, t = 0 and f(0) = 3 Billion
f(0) = p = 3 billion
The initial value p = 3 billion
In 2010, t = (2010-2003) = 7
f(7) = p(a)^7 = 9 billion
3(a)^7 = 9
a^7 = 9/3 = 3
a = 3^(1/7)
Therefore, the function f(t) is;
f(t) = 3(3)^(t/7) .......2
In 2013, t = (2013 - 2003) = 10
Substituting t = 10 into equation 2;
f(10) = 3(3)^(10/7)
F(10) = 14.41195997001 Billion
F(10) = 14.41 Billion
The total number of hamburgers that will have been sold by 2013 is 14.41 billion.

B{(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4), (4, 5)}.
C{(3, 0), (4, -3), (6, 7), (4,4)}
D{(1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 8), (3, 9)}
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
A is not a function because the same x value is repeated twice with different y values. The same goes for C and D so the answer is C.
Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
Well a relation is a set of points and a function is a relation where every x value corresponds to only 1 y value.
So lets see which x values in these relations have only 1 y value.
A. Well a isn’t a function because the number 3 which is a x value had two y values which are -1 and 4.
B. This relation is a function because there are no similar x values.
C. This is not a function because the x value 4 has two y values which are 4 and -3.
D. This is not a function because the number 1 has 2 and 3 as y values.
At a DBE lecture of 100 students, there are 29 women and 23 men. Out of these students, 4 are teachers and 24 are either men nor teachers. Find the number of women teachers attending the lecture

Because if you take 100 and minus it by 29, 23, 4 and 24 you get 20.
Can Someone help me!!! I need this ASAP! What number? Increased by 130% is 69? FYI: the answer is less than 69
Answer:
Hey there!
There are a few ways you could solve this problem, but the easiest would to be writing an equation.
You could say-
2.3x=69
Divide by 2.3
x=30
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
the answer is 30 bc increasing something by 130% is multiplying it by 2.3 so technically you have to divide 69 by 2.3 which equals to 30
