Minnie is making tea. She knows that her tea tastes best if she lets her tea bag sit in the hot water for exactly fifteen minutes. However, depending how hot the water is, she may have to leave her tea bag in the water for 2 minutes more or less than usual. Write and solve an absolute value equation to describe this situation

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

|x - 2| = 15 ; |x + 2| = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Wait time = 15 minutes

Variation in wait time depending on level of hotness = 2 minutes

X ± 2 = 15

x + 2 = 15 or x - 2 = 15

x = 15 - 2 = 13 or x = 15 + 2 = 17

Hence, to express the above as an absolute value equation :

|x - variation| = mean time

|x - 2| = 15 ; |x + 2| = 15

Evaluate if:​

Answers

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

[tex]\lim_{n \to 1} (\dfrac{1+\cos\pi x}{\tan^2\pi x})[/tex]

Using L Hospital's rule to find it :

[tex]\lim_{n \to a} \dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}= \lim_{n \to a} \dfrac{f'(x)}{g'(x)}[/tex]

We have,

a = 1, [tex]f(x)=1+\cos\pi x, \ \ g(x)=\tan^2\pi x[/tex]

[tex]f'(x)=\dfrac{d}{dx}(1+\cos\pi x)\\\\=-\pi \sin \pi x\ .....(1)[/tex]

[tex]g'(x)=\dfrac{d}{dx}(\tan^2\pi x)\\\\=2\tan\pi x\times \sec^2\pi x\times \pi\ .....(2)[/tex]

From equation (1) and (2) :

[tex]\lim_{n \to 1} \dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}= \lim_{n \to 1} \dfrac{-\pi \sin\pi x}{2\tan \pi x\times \sec^2\pi x \times \pi}\\\\\lim_{n \to 1} \dfrac{-\pi \sin\pi x}{2\tan \pi x\times \sec^2\pi x \times \pi}\\\\=\lim_{n \to 1} \dfrac{-1}{2}\times\cos^3\pi x\\\\=\dfrac{-1}{2}\times \cos^3\pi \\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

Dimas is playing a game that uses a number cube. The sides of the cube are labeled from 1 to 6. Dimas wants to roll a 2 or 3. He rolls the number cube one time

Answers

Answer:

B. 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of sides in the cube are 6 (1,2,3,4,5,6). If Dimas only wants to roll either a 2 or 3 then that would mean that he has 2 chances out of the total 6 probable outcomes to roll one of those numbers. Therefore, in order to find the probability of this happening in a single roll we need to divide the number of times that his two choices appear on the dice by the total number of sides the dice has, like so...

2 / 6 = x

Find the measure of each acute angle.

(3x + 2)∘ = and x∘ =

Answers

Answer:

The measure of one of the acute angles is 22 degrees, and the measure of the other acute angle is 68 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees; we know this by the Sum of Angles of a Triangle Theorem.

Then one angle is marked as a right angle meaning it has a measure of 90 degrees.

Using this information and the labels on the diagram we can set up an equation:

x+3x+2+90=180

Now we can solve for x.

4x+92=180

4x=88

x=22 degrees

The measure of one of the acute angles is 22 degrees.

Now to solve for the measure of the other acute angle.

Subsitute the value of x first.

x=22

(3x+2)=?

3*22+2=68 degrees

The measure of the other acute angle is 68 degrees.

In the right-angled triangle given, the measure of each of the acute angles in the given diagram are:

[tex]\mathbf{22^{\circ}}\\\\\mathbf{68^{\circ}}[/tex]

The triangle given is a right triangle having an angle tat is 90 degrees and two other acute angles given as: x and (3x + 2)

Thus:

[tex]x + (3x + 2) + 90 = 180^{\circ}[/tex] (sum of triangle)

Solve for the value of x

[tex]x + 3x + 2 + 90 = 180[/tex]

Add like terms

[tex]4x + 92 = 180\\\\[/tex]

Subtract 92 from each side

[tex]4x = 180 - 92\\\\4x =88[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4

x = 22

Measure of one of the acute angles is 22 degrees.

To find the second acute angle measure, substitute the value of x

3x + 2 = 3(22) + 2 = 68 degrees

Therefore, in the right-angled triangle given, the measure of each of the acute angles in the given diagram are:

[tex]\mathbf{22^{\circ}}\\\\\mathbf{68^{\circ}}[/tex]

A conductor is mapping a trip and records the distance the train travels over certain time intervals. The train travels at a constant speed. What is its speed?

Answers

Answer:

Speed = 25miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the time with x and the distance with y

So, from the attachment; we have the following details:

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (0.5,12.5)[/tex]

[tex](x_2,y_2) = (1,25)[/tex]

[tex](x_3,y_3) = (1.5,37.5)[/tex]

Required

Determine the constant speed

Because the train travelled at a constant speed, the speed can be calculated using:

[tex]Speed = \frac{y_3}{x_3}=\frac{y_2}{x_2}=\frac{y_1}{x_1}[/tex]

[tex]Speed = \frac{12.5}{0.5}=\frac{25}{1}=\frac{37.5}{1.5}[/tex]

[tex]Speed = 25=25=25[/tex]

Notice that the result of each division is the same.

Hence, the constant speed is:

Speed = 25miles per hour

Answers

Answer:

13.44

Step-by-step explanation:

she is right...........

Answer:

The correct unit price is $1.12 per pair. The error comes from dividing $67.20 by only 5 pairs (instead of 60 pairs).

Step-by-step explanation:

The contractor should have calculated the unit price as $67.20 divided by 60 pairs. Five dozen pairs is 5x12=60. This results in $67.20/60=$1.12 per pair. The error comes from dividing $67.20 by only 5 pairs (instead of 60 pairs).

Are you study of a population of 1200 frogs you feel that sold out of every 180 frogs in the population has spots on the back based on the results of the other study how many frogs in the population do not have spots in the back

Answers

Answer: 1,120 frogs

Step-by-step explanation:

If 12 out of every 180 frogs in the population have spots on their backs, the number that do not are;

= 180 - 12

= 168 frogs

168 frogs out of every 180 do not have spots. Out of 1,200 that would be;

= 168/180 * 1,200

= 1,120 frogs

Answers

Answer: 240 people get the news from social media
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the number of people who get their news from social media to the number of people who their news elsewhere is 3:7
Total ratio is the sum of the proportion of those that get their news from social media and those that got their news elsewhere.
It becomes 3+7 = 10
Total number of people in the town is 800
To determine the number of people that got their news from social media, we will divide the proportion of those that get their news from social media by the total ratio and multiply by the total number of people in the town. It becomes

Answers

Answer:

95

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is

x×2=285-x

3x=285

x=95

Answer:

x = 75°

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many Circle Geometry Rules. We will be using the following:

The angle at the centre of the circle is twice the angle at the circumference.

x = the angle opposite 285 - x.

This means that 360 - (285 - x) = 2x

360 - 285 + x = 2x

75 + x = 2x

We can simplify this by taking away x from both sides.

75 = x

We can check this by substituting x into the orginal equation.

360 - (285 - x) = 2x

360 - (285 - 75) = 2 * 75

360 - 210 = 2 * 75

150 = 2*75

150 = 150

What is the image of the point (2,3) after the transformation Ry-axis?

Answers

Answer:

The image of the point (2, 3) after the reflection across the y-axis will be: (-2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when a point, let say P(x, y), is reflected across the y-axis, the sign of x-coordinate is reversed but y-coordinate remains the same.

In other words, the rule is:

P(x, y) → P'(-x, y)

Here, P'(x, y) is the image of the original point P(x, y) after the reflection across the y-axis.

Considering the point

A(2, 3)

Let us reflect the point A(2, 3) across the y-axis.

We know the rule:

P(x, y) → P'(-x, y)

so

A(2, 3) → A'(-2, 3)

Thus, the image of the point (2, 3) after the reflection across the y-axis will be: (-2, 3)

Tom is buying topsoil for the flower bed shown below. One bag of topsoil covers 151515 square meters. How many bags of topsoil does Tom need to cover his flower bed?

Answers

Answer:

2 bags of topsoil.

Step-by-step explanation:

The attached figure shows a flower bed.

One bag of topsoil covers 15 square meters.

We need to find how many bags of topsoil does Tom need to cover his flower bed.

The area of the flower bed is :

[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 12\times 5\\\\=30\ m^2[/tex]  

Let he has to cover x bags of topsoil. So,

x = Area of flower bed/Area of 1 bag of top soil

x = 30/15

x = 2

Hence, he will need 2 bags of topsoil to cover his flower bed.
