In 2001, gold was priced at (0.5x + 300) dollars per ounce. Its price tripled in 2008 and then doubled in 2011. In 2016, its price dropped to 2 3of the price in 2011.• Write an expression for the price of gold per ounce in 2016.• Explain how you found the expression. Write your expression and explanation in the space below

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

Price of  gold in 2001 = (0.5x+300)

Its price tripled in 2008 and then doubled in 2011. In 2016, its price dropped to [tex]\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex] of the price in 2011.

To find:

An expression for the price of gold per ounce in 2016.

Solution:

We have,

Price of  gold in 2001 [tex]= (0.5x+300)[/tex]

Its price tripled in 2008.

Price of  gold in 2008 [tex]= 3(0.5x+300)[/tex]

Then doubled in 2011.

Price of  gold in 2011 [tex]= 2\times 3(0.5x+300)[/tex]

In 2016, its price dropped to [tex]\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex] of the price in 2011.

Price of  gold in 2016 [tex]=\dfrac{2}{3}\times 2\times 3(0.5x+300)[/tex]

                                    [tex]=2\times 2(0.5x+300)[/tex]

                                    [tex]=4(0.5x+300)[/tex]

                                    [tex]=4(0.5x)+4(300)[/tex]

                                    [tex]=2x+1200[/tex]

Therefore, the required expression for the price of gold per ounce is (2x+1200).

An electrician cuts a 30 ft piece of wire into 2 pieces. One piece is 2ft longer than the other. How long are the pieces?

Answers

Answer:

  piece1:   14 feet

  piece2:  16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

piece1:   x

piece2:  x + 2

x + x + 2 = 30

2x + 2 = 30

2x = 28

x = 14

piece1:   x = 14

piece2:  x + 2 = 14 + 2 = 16

Length of short piece = x
Length of longer piece = x + 2
Given x + x + 2 = 30, 2x = 28, x=14
Pieces are 14ft and 16ft long

Which equation is a result of this step? 1 minus x + 2 + 2 x = 10 x minus 5 minus x 1 minus x minus 2 + 2 x = 10 x minus 25 minus x 1 minus x minus 1 + 2 x = 10 x minus 25 minus x 1 minus x minus 1 + 2 x = 10 x minus 5 minus x

Answers

Answer:

1-x-2+2x = 10x-25-x

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is as follows :

1-(x+2)+2x=5(2x-5)-x

We need to solve the above equation.

Firstly opening bracket off LHS and applying distributive property at RHS.

1-x-2+2x=5(2x)-5(5)-x    (Distributive property :a(b+c) = ab+ac)

1-x-2+2x = 10x-25-x

So, the correct option is (B) i.e. 1 minus x minus 2 + 2 x = 10 x minus 25 minus x.

What is Linear function?

A linear function in mathematics is one that has either one or two variables and no exponents. It is a function with a straight line as its graph.

Given, Sydney is a salesperson who sells computers at an electronics store. She makes a base pay amount each day and then is paid a commission as a percentage of the total dollar amount the company makes from her sales that day.

Let the equation of line y = kx + b

Where b is 100

Since the given line passes through (0, 100) and (4000,200)

since For a line k = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Thus, k = (200 -100)/(4000-0)

k = 1/40

Thus,

y = 1/40x + 100

Therefore, an equation that represents P as a function of X is y = 1/40x + 100.

A state lottery randomly chooses 8 balls numbered from 1 through 37 without replacement. You choose 8 numbers and purchase a lottery ticket. The random variable represents the number of matches on your ticket to the numbers drawn in the lottery. Determine whether this experiment is binomial. If​ so, identify a​ success, specify the values​ n, p, and q and list the possible values of the random variable x.

Answers

Answer: No, the experiment is not binomial

Step-by-step explanation:

From the formula for a binomial distribution :

nCx * p^k * q^(n - x)

n = number of trials (fixed)

x = number of success on trial

p = probability of success (which is the same for each trial).

q = (1 - p) = probability of failure (same for each trial)

Binomial experiment have binary outcome ; Either Success or Failure

The experiment described above :

Number of trials is satisfied (8 picks)

Binary outcome (matches on ticket or match does not exist).

Rasu made some chocolate milk. She added 3 tsp. Of cocoa mix with 2 cups of milk. Farah also made some chocolate milk. She added 5 tsp. Of cocoa mix to 3 cups of milk. Which mixture is more chocolatey flavored (stronger chocolate flavor)? Explain your reasoning.

Answers

The correct answer is Farah's mixture

Explanation:

In this situation, how strong chocolate flavor is in the mix depends on the ratio of ingredients as more cocoa leads to a stronger chocolate flavor.

Rasu:

Her ratio was 3 teaspoons of cocoa mix and 2 cups of milk. This can be expressed as 3:2  or [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]. Also, this can be simplified by dividing the amount of cocoa into the amount of milk 3 ÷ 2 = 1.5. This means for each cup of milk Rasu added 1.5 teaspoons of cocoa.

Farah:

The ratio was 5 teaspoons of cocoa mix and 3 cups of milk. So, the ratio is 5 : 3 or [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex], which is equal to 1.6. This implies for each cup of milk Farah added 1.6 teaspoons of cocoa. This ratio of cocoa vs milk is higher in Farah, which means he added more cocoa, and her mix would have a stronger chocolate flavor.
