Derrick needs to sell a minimum of 100 orders each month to make it into the sales winners circle. He has already sold 45 orders this month. He still needs to sell s more orders.

Which inequality can be used to find the possible values for s?

Answers

s>=55

He needs to sell a MINIMUM of 100 orders which means that he can send 100 or more. If he’s already sold 45 then he needs to sell AT LEAST 55 more which means that the variable s, sales left, is greater than or equal to 55

Step-by-step explanation:

Central angle = measure of intercepted arc

Central angle = 47°

Arc measure = 7 + 5x

Therefore:

7 + 5x = 47

Subtract 7 form both sides

5x = 47 - 7

5x = 40

Divide both sides by 5

If a graph is reflected across y = x then it will be an inverse graph so graphs B and C will be inverse.

What is the inverse of a function?

The inverse of a function is basically a reverse function or undo of the function.

For example y = f(x) then inverse will be x = f(y).

It means in the inverse function we need to interchange x and y.

Another example y = 3x² ⇒ x = √(y/3) will be the inverse.

An inverse function is a reflection of graph across y = x and due to that coordinate will interchange its that ;

( x ,y ) → ( y , x )

Since graph A is rotated about the x-axis to make graph B

Now,

Graph A is rotated( which is B ) and reflected across the axis y = x to form Graph C.

So B and C will be the inverse of each other.

Hence "If a graph is reflected across y = x then it will be an inverse graph so graphs B and C will be inverse".

Write an equation in slope intercept form that is perpendicular to 3x + 2y equals 12 and passes through the point (1,2)​

Answers

Answer:

The equation is y = (2/3)x + (4/3).

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to change the equation into slope-intecept formula to find its gradient (slope) :

[tex]3x + 2y = 12[/tex]

[tex]2y = - 3x + 12[/tex]

[tex]y = - \frac{3}{2}x + 6[/tex]

Given that when a line is perpendicular to the other line, their slope value multiplied, will form -1. Next, we have to find the slope for line :

[tex]m1 \times m2 = - 1[/tex]

[tex] - \frac{3}{2} \times m2 = - 1[/tex]

[tex]m2 = - 1 \div - \frac{3}{2} [/tex]

[tex]m2 = \frac{2}{3} [/tex]

Lastly, we have to subatitute the x and y values into the equation, to find its intercept value :

[tex]y = \frac{2}{3}x + b[/tex]

[tex]let \: x = 1,y = 2[/tex]

[tex]2 = \frac{2}{3} (1) + b[/tex]

[tex]b = 2 - \frac{2}{3} [/tex]

[tex]b = \frac{4}{3} [/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{2}{3} x + \frac{4}{3} [/tex]

How much water do you add to make 12% sugar syrup using 5g sugar.

Answers

Answer:

You know that 5 g of sugar form 12%. Let x g be the amount of water needed. The total amount of syrup will be x+5 g. Then

5 g - 12%,

x+5 g - 100%.

mathematically you can write a proportion;

5/x+5=12/100

=>500=12(x+5)

,500=12x+60

,12x=400,

x=440/12

=110/3

=36 2/3g of water

36.66 grams of water is added  to make 12% sugar syrup using 5g sugar.

What is Ratio?

A ratio is an ordered pair of numbers a and b, written a / b where b does not equal 0.

Let the amount of water is added be 'x'.

Amount of sugar = 5 g

We need to make 12% of sugar syrup.

x grams of water is added to 5 g of sugar, to 12% of sugar syrup.

5/5+x=12/100

Apply cross multiplication

5×100=12(5+x)

500=60+12x

Subtract 60 from both sides

440=12x

Divide both sides by 12

x=36.66

Hence, 36.66 grams of water is added  to make 12% sugar syrup using 5g sugar.

Score in second, third and fourth rounds was identical.

A participant has to score a total of at least 30 points in the first four rounds combined to move on to the fifth and final round.

To find:

The inequality for the given problem.

Solution:

Let p be the number of points, p, that Steward scored in each of the second, third, and fourth rounds.

Score in first 4 rounds = Score of 1st round + Score of 2nd round + Score of  1s 3rd round + Score of 4th round

Score in first 4 rounds [tex]=5 + p + p + p[/tex]

                                     [tex]=5 +3p[/tex]

A participant has to score a total of at least 30 points in the first four rounds combined to move on to the fifth and final round. It means the total score in first 4 rounds must be greater than or equal to 30.

If and are the radi of two concentric circles and (r. > r.). If the chord
of the larger circle AB touches the inter circle. Find the value of AB​

Answers

Answer:

r1 and r2 are the radii of two concentric circles

To find:

The length of the chord of the larger circle.

Solution:

We have given the two concentric circles which means both the circles have the same centre.

The chord of the larger circle toches the inner circle so the chord of the larger circle will be the tangent of the smaller circle.

And we know that the radius of the circle is perpendicular to the tangent of the circle.

Let 2x be the length of the chord of the circle.

r1 is the radius of the larger circle.

r2 is the radius of the smaller circle.

So by the Pythagoras theorem,

The length of the half of the chord is given by:

r1² = x² + r2²

x² = r1² - r2²

x = √r1² - r2²

So,

The length of the chord will be 2x = 2√r1² - r2² units

Answer:

a. Negation of ∃x ∀y(P(x,y) → Q(x,y)) = ∀x  ∃y P(x,y)  ∧ ¬Q(x,y) ]

b. Negation of ∃x ∀y(P(x,y) → P(y,x)) = ∀x ∃y  [ ¬P(x,y) ∨ ¬P(y,x) ] ∧ [P(x,y) ∨ P(y,x)]

c. Negation of ∃x ∃y P(x,y) ∧ ∀x ∀y Q(x,y) = ∀x ∀y ¬ [P(x,y)]  ∨ ∃x ∃y ¬ [Q(x,y)]

Step-by-step explanation:

a.∃x ∀y(P(x,y) → Q(x,y))

Negation = ¬ [ ∃x ∀y(P(x,y) → Q(x,y)) ]

                = ∀x  ¬ [ ∀y(P(x,y) → Q(x,y)) ]

                = ∀x  ∃y ¬ [ (P(x,y) → Q(x,y)) ]

                = ∀x  ∃y ¬ [  ¬P(x,y)  ∨ Q(x,y) ]

                = ∀x  ∃y P(x,y)  ∧ ¬Q(x,y) ]

Negation of ∃x ∀y(P(x,y) → Q(x,y)) = ∀x  ∃y P(x,y)  ∧ ¬Q(x,y) ]

b. ∃x ∀y(P(x,y) → P(y,x))

Negation = ¬ [ ∃x ∀y(P(x,y) → P(y,x)) ]

               = ∀x ¬ [ ∀y(P(x,y) → P(y,x)) ]

               = ∀x ∃y ¬ [ (P(x,y) → P(y,x)) ]

               = ∀x ∃y ¬ [ ( P(x,y) ∧ P(y,x) ) ∨ ( ¬P(x,y) ∧ ¬P(y,x) )]

               = ∀x ∃y ¬ [ P(x,y) ∧ P(y,x) ] ∧ ¬[ ¬P(x,y) ∧ ¬P(y,x) ]

               = ∀x ∃y  [ ¬P(x,y) ∨ ¬P(y,x) ] ∧ [ P(x,y) ∨ P(y,x) ]

∴ we get

Negation of ∃x ∀y(P(x,y) → P(y,x)) = ∀x ∃y  [ ¬P(x,y) ∨ ¬P(y,x) ] ∧ [P(x,y) ∨ P(y,x)]

c. ∃x ∃y P(x,y) ∧ ∀x ∀y Q(x,y)

Negation = ¬ [ ∃x ∃y P(x,y) ∧ ∀x ∀y Q(x,y) ]

                = ¬ [ ∃x ∃y P(x,y) ]  ∨ ¬ [ ∀x ∀y Q(x,y) ]

                = ∀x¬ [  ∃y P(x,y) ]  ∨ ∃x ¬ [ ∀y Q(x,y) ]
