A hot air balloon went from an elevation of 4,060 feet to an elevation of 3,120 feet in 40 minutes. What was its rate of descent?

Answer:

[tex]x=-10[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

This deals with negative exponents.

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

27 and 9 are both powers of 3, so we need to find a way to make both of these into a base 3.

9 is easy, thats just:

[tex]9=3\times3=3^2[/tex]

1/27 is a little more difficult. Start with 27:

[tex]27=9\times3=3\times3\times3=3^3[/tex]

and because its a 1/27, that exponent has to be negative.

[tex]3^3=27\\3^-^3=\frac{1}{27}[/tex]

Now we can get both of them to base 3, so do that in the given equation:

[tex]3^{(-3)\times(4-x)}=3^{(2)\times(2x-1)}[/tex]

Same as last time, the bases can be canceled out as the exponents have to be equal for this equation to be true.

[tex]3^{(-3)\times(4-x)}=3^{(2)\times(2x-1)}\\(-3)\times(4-x)=(2)\times(2x-1)[/tex]

Finally, solve for x:

[tex]-3(4-x)=2(2x-1)\\-12+3x=4x-2\\-10+3x=4x\\x=-10[/tex]

Answer:

  2 13/14 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The remaining length is the difference between the starting length and the amount cut off:

  5 3/7 - 2 1/2 = (5 -2) +(3/7 -1/2) = 3 +((3·2-7·1)/(7·2)) = 3 -1/14

  = 2 13/14 . . . feet remaining

Addition and subtraction of fractions can be accomplished using a formula that does not rely on finding a least common denominator. In this case, the denominators have no common factors, so their product is, in fact, the least common denominator.

Answer:

-9 and +4 are the factors

Step-by-step explanation:

-9 times +4 is -36 and if you add +4 to -9, you get -5.

After this your function will look like this:

[tex]x^2-9x+4x-36[/tex]

and then:

[tex]x(x-9)+4(x-9)[/tex]

so the answer is:

[tex](x-9)(x+4)[/tex]

Equation Form:

w x 2 [tex]\geq[/tex] 19

Divide both sides by 2:

w [tex]\geq[/tex] 9.5

So, w must be equal to or greater than 9.5 for this equation to work.

Answer:

107.5

Step-by-step explanation:

20% of 70 = 14

70 - 14 = 66

10% of 45 = 4.5

45 - 4.5 = 41.5

66 + 41.5 = 107.5

Variable is a symbol that represents a quantity in a mathematical expression, as used in many sciences. Variable (research), a logical set of attributes. Variable star, a type of astronomical star.

[tex]\large\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\mathfrak{constant}}}}[/tex]

A constant, sometimes also called a "mathematical constant," is any well-defined real number which is significantly interesting in some way. A function, equation, etc., is said to "be constant" (or be a constant function) if it always assumes the same value independent of how its parameters are varied.

Answer:

1. 550 miles

2. $103

Step-by-step explanation:

y = total rental cost

m = initial fee

x = cost per mile

n = number of miles

Plan 1: y = m + xn = 59 + 0.08n

Plan 2: y = m +xn = 48 + 0.10n

Q1. if total cost is the same : 59 + 0.08n = 48 + 0.10n >>> 0.02n = 11 >>> n = 550

Q2. y = m + xn = 59 + 0.08n = 59 + 0.08(550) = 103

Answer:

A = 4 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is calculated as

A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )

b = AC = 3[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] + [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] = 4[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]

h = BD

Calculate BD using Pythagoras' identity in Δ ABD

BD² = AB² - AD²

      = (2[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex] )² - (3[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] )²

     = 20 - 18 = 2 ( take square root of both sides )

BD = [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Then

A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 4[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] × [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] = 2 × [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] × [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] = 4 cm²

From the given table, the annual premium rate as a percentage of value insured a person at age 35 has to pay is 0.14%.

Reasons:

The data in the table are presented as follows;

[tex]\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}Age&Annual Insurance Premiums (per \$1,000 of face value)&\\&10-Year Term &\\&Male&Female\\35&1.40&1.36\\40&1.64&1.59\\45&2.07&2.01\end{array}\right][/tex]

From the above table, we have that the amount a 35 year old without health issues will pay per $1,000 is $1.40

Therefore, the amount to be paid for $115,000 is 115 × $1.4 = $161

The amount Bernard pays = 15% more = 1.15 × $161 = $185.15

Therefore;

The amount more Bernard has to pay = $185.15 - $161 = $24.15 ≈ $24

The true statement is (a) The rectangular prism boxes should be used because they will cost the company $2. 50 less than using the cylindrical containers.

The given parameters are:

[tex]Pencils = 2400[/tex] --- the pencils needed

The number of pencils the prism can hold is:

[tex]Prism =60[/tex]

Divide the number of pencils needed by the number of pencils in 1 rectangular prism, to calculate the number of prisms needed (n1)

[tex]n_1 = \frac{Pencils}{Prism}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]n_1 = \frac{2400}{60}[/tex]

[tex]n_1 = 40[/tex]

A rectangular prism costs $0.50.

So, the total cost is:

[tex]Total\ cost = 40 \times 0.50[/tex]

[tex]Total\ cost = \$20[/tex]

The number of pencils the cylinder can hold is:

[tex]Cylinder=80[/tex]

Divide the number of pencils needed by the number of pencils in 1 cylinder box, to calculate the number of cylinders needed (n2)

[tex]n_2 = \frac{Pencils}{Cylinder}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]n_2 = \frac{2400}{80}[/tex]

[tex]n_2 = 30[/tex]

A cylinder costs $0.75.

So, the total cost is:

[tex]Total\ cost = 30 \times 0.75[/tex]

[tex]Total\ cost = $22.5[/tex]

By comparison, the rectangular prism costs $2.5 less than the cylinder

Hence, the true statement is (a)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of selecting a boy for president is 7/12, the ratio of the number of boys to the number of candidates. Then the probability of selecting a girl for vice president is 5/11, the ratio of the number of girls to the remaining number of candidates. The joint probability is ...

  (7/12)(5/11) = 35/132 . . . P(b=P&g=VP)

__

We can also look at this another way.

The number of ways two candidates can be selected from 12 is 12P2 = 132. The number of ways that the first can be a boy and the second can be a girl is (7)(5) = 35. Then the probability of a (BG) pair from the 12 candidates is 35/132.
