ABOUT THIS TUTOR ›

set up 2 equations

the first equation...

15%*x+25%*y+70%*2y=45%*40

0.15x+0.25y+1.4y=0.45*40

0.15x+1.65y=18

multiply all terms by 100

15x+165y=1800

divide all terms by 15

x+11y=120

the second equation...

x+y+2y=40

x+3y=40

x=40-3y

substitute into the first equation x+11y=120

40-3y+11y=120

40+8y=120

8y=120-40

8y=80

y=80/8

y=10 liters

x+3*10=40

x+30=40

x=40-30

x=10 liters

10 liters of 15%, 10 liters of 25%, and 20 liters of 70%

check:

10*15%=1.5

10*25%=2.5

20*70%=14

1.5+2.5+14=18

18/40=9/20=45/100=45%

45%*40=18

Aaron has a time of 10.6 seconds, and his team has a mean of 11.5 seconds and a standard deviation of 0.1 seconds. Who has the faster time when compared to each of their teams

Answers

Answer:

The answer is "-9".

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\mu = 11.4\\\\\sigma = 0.2\\\\ x = 10.9\\\\[/tex]

[tex]P(X <= 10.9)=?[/tex]

The z-value is determined using the central boundary theorem

[tex]z = \frac{(x - \mu)}{\sigma}[/tex]

  [tex]= \frac{(10.9 - 11.4)}{0.2}\\\\ = -2.5[/tex]

Calculating the value for Aaron

[tex]\mu = 11.5\\\\ \sigma = 0.1\\\\ x = 10.6\\\\ P(X <= 10.6)=?[/tex]

When the z-value is calculated using Central Limit Theorem

[tex]z = \frac{(x - \mu)}{\sigma}[/tex]

B. it is shown that it has been compressed to 5 and the leading coefficient would be 5.

Answer:

B. y = 5x²

Step-by-step explanation:

As you can see, g(x) is a proper parabola, so it must be some variation of y = x².

Because the vertex of the parabola remains at (0, 0), know that there is no translation, so all we need to account for is the scale.

In the graph we can see that where x is equal to 1, y is equal to 5.  On a normal parabola that would instead be (1, 1), so we know that the y axis is scaled by a factor of five.  With that we can say that y = 5x².

SOCCER Alice kicks a soccer ball towards a wall. The ball is deflected off the wall at an angle of 40°,

and it travels 6 meters. How far is the soccer ball from the wall when it stops rolling?

Answers

Answer:

The ball is 3.86 meters from the wall when it stops rolling.

Step-by-step explanation:

Representation of the situation:

This situation can be represented by a right triangle:

The hypotenuse is the distance the ball traveled, of 6 meters.

The distance from the wall is the side opposite to the angle of 40º.

We have that:

Sine of an angle is the length of the opposite side divided by the hypotenuse. So, in this situation.

Sine of 40 degrees = Distance from the wall/6

Sine of 40 degrees is of 0.64278760968.

Distance = 6*0.64278760968 = 3.86.

The ball is 3.86 meters from the wall when it stops rolling.
