Answers

Answer 1

Answer: d. $2.38

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential decay function: [tex]Ab^x[/tex], where A = initial value

x= Time mperiod

b = multiplicative decay rate

As per given, we have

A = 38 dollars

b= 0.5

Amount after x years : [tex]38(0.5)^x[/tex]

Then, at x= 4

Amount after 4 years : [tex]38(0.5)^4=38(0.0625)[/tex]

[tex]=2.375\approx2.38[/tex]

Hence, the worth of electric can opener after 4 years = $2.38.

So, correct option is d. $2.38

Ardem has two lights one flashes every 15 seconds the other flashes every 42 seconds. They start flashing at the same time. After how many seconds will they next flash at the same time??

Answers

Answer: After 210 seconds they with next flash at the same time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Ardem has two lights.

One flashes every 15 seconds the other flashes every 42 seconds.

If they started flashing at the same time, then the number of seconds after that they with next flash at the same time = LCM (15, 42)   [LCM - Least common multiple]

Prime factorization of 15 = 3 x 5

Prime factorization of 42 = 2 x 3 x 7

Then, LCM (15, 42) = 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 210

i.e. After 210 seconds they with next flash at the same time.

Please answer for brainliest!!!Find the equation of a line that passes through the point (-2,1) and has a gradient of 3. Leave your answer in the form ax+by=c Where a, b and c are integers

Answers

Answer:

3x - y = - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = 3 and (a, b) = (- 2, 1) , thus

y - 1 = 3(x + 2) ← distribute

y - 1 = 3x + 6 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

y  - 7 = 3x ( subtract y from both sides )

- 7 = 3x - y, that is

3x - y = - 7 ← in standard form

Answer: Choice B) The conjecture is valid given the focus is on proportional equivalence of two sectors.

This is another way of saying "the two pie slices are the same percentage in area". By this, I mean the percentage of the entire cake. For instance, the shaded slice could be 20% of the entire circle area, for each circle.

It's probably easier to see this is the angle was 90 degrees (split the cake into 4 equal slices, only shade one slice). Or probably even easier if you cut the cake into two slices and only shade one slice (to form a central angle of 180 degrees). For the first example, the slice would be 25% of the whole area, while the second slice is 50%.

Choice C is close, but the two sectors are not the same area. This is because the bottom circle has a larger radius, and therefore its sector area is larger.

- 3x + y = - 7

Answer:

[tex] - 3x + y = - 7[/tex]

Option C is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

A line passes through ( 2 , -1 ) and ( 4 , 5 )

The equation of line:

[tex] \frac{y - y1}{x - x1} = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} [/tex]

Plug the values

[tex] \frac{ y - ( - 1)}{x - 2} = \frac{5 - ( - 1)}{4 - 2} [/tex]

When there is a ( - ) in front of an expression in parentheses, change the sign of each term in the expression

if y varies inversely as x and y=6 when x=8 find y when x=7

Answers

Answer:

y = 5  1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

For direct or inverse variation relation

relation between two variable and y can be expresses in form of

y = kx  where k is constant of proportionality .

Only thing happens in inverse relation is that when x increases then y decreases and vice versa. That is care by constant of proportionality

__________________________________

Thus, let the inverse relation be

y = kx

given

when y = 6 then x = 8

we will plug this value in y = kx

6 = k*8

=>k = 6/8 = 3/4

Thus,

relation is

y = 3/4 x

we have to find y when x = 7 ,

lets put x = 7 in y = 3/4 x

y = 3/4 *7 = 21/4 = 5 1/4

Thus, when x = 7 then y = 5 1/4

The sum of two numbers is 26. The sum of their squares is a minimum. Find the numbers. ​

Answers

Answer:

The numbers at 13 and 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The two numbers in question are equal, and if their sum is 26, then they must be 13 and 13.

The two numbers are (13, 13).

Given that,

The sum of the two numbers is 26.

And the sum of their square is minimum.

We have to determine,

The two numbers are.

According to the question,

Let, the first number be x,  

and the second number be y.

The sum of the two numbers is 26.

[tex]x + y = 26[/tex]

And The sum of their squares is a minimum.

[tex]x^2 + y^2 = h[/tex]

Solving both the equation,

[tex]x + y = 26\\\\x = 26-y[/tex]

Substitute the value of x in equation 2,

[tex]x^2 + y^2 = h\\\\(y-26)^2 + y^2 = h \\\\y^2 + 676 -52y + y^2 = h\\\\2y^2 -52y + (676-h) = 0[/tex]

Then, The vertex of the parabola is,

[tex]\dfrac{-b}{2a} = \dfrac{-(-52)}{2(2)} = \dfrac{52}{4} = 13[/tex]

The minimum value of the parabola is 13, which is also the sum of squares.

Therefore, The two number is x = 13 and y =13.

A cup holder in a car contains 19 quarters, 39 dimes, some number of nickels, and 58 pennies. If all the coins in the cup holder equal $10.08, then how many nickels are in the cup holder?

Answers

Answer:

17 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

To be able to find the answer, you can say that the sum of the value of each coin multiply for its quantity is equal to 10.08, which you can express as follows:

quarters= 0.25

dimes= 0.10

nickels= 0.05

pennies= 0.01

(0.25*19)+(0.10*39)+(0.05*x)+(0.01*58)=10.08, where

x= the quantity of nickels

Now, you can solve for x:

4.75+3.9+0.05x+0.58=10.08

0.05x=10.08-4.75-3.9-0.58

0.05x=0.85

x=0.85/0.05

x=17

According to this, the answer is that there are 17 nickels in the cup holder.

_____finds the area of the outer square by squaring its side length.

_____finds the area of the outer square by adding the area of the inner square and the four triangles.

These expressions are equal because they both give the areas of outer space.

Find attached the diagram of the question.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras theorem is a formula that shows the relationship between the sides of a right angled triangle.

Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse ² = opposite ² + adjacent ²

From the diagram of the question.

Hypotenuse = z

Opposite = y

Adjacent = x

z² = x² + y²

Area of outer square = area of inner square + 4(area of triangles)

area of inner square = length² = (x+y)²

Expanding area of the outer square:

(x+y)² = (x+y)(x+y) = x²+xy+xy+y²

(x+y)² = x²+y²+2xy

= z² + 2xy

Area of inner square = length² = z²

Area of triangle = ½ base × height

= ½ × x × y = ½ xy

Area of outer square = area of inner square + 4(area of triangles)

(x + y)² = z² + 4(½xy )

Therefore, it is a true equation.

( x + y )² finds the area of the outer square by squaring its side length.

z² + 4( 1/2xy ) finds the area of the outer square by adding the area of the inner square and the four triangles.

These expressions are equal because they both give the areas of outer space.

So for the drop down menu:

i) x + y

ii) z²

iii) ½ xy

To create a giant gemstone, sara first made two identical square pyramids that each had a base area of 100 square inches. Then she glued the pyramids' bases together to form the gemstone. The surface area of the gemstone is 520 square inches. What is the value of x? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the statement we have that they first made two identical square pyramids, each with a base area of 100 square inches.

Ab = s ^ 2 = 100

Therefore each side would be:

s = (100) ^ (1/2)

s = 10

So, side of the square base = 10 inches

Then they tell us that they glued the bases of the pyramids together to form the precious stone. The surface area of the gemstone is 520 square inches, so for a single pyramid it would be:

Ap = 520/2 = 260

For an area of the square pyramid we have the following equation:

Ap = 2 * x * s + s ^ 2

Where x is the height of each triangular surface and s is the side of the square base

Replacing we have:

260 = 2 * x * 10 + 10 ^ 2

20 * x + 100 = 260

20 * x = 160

x = 160/20

x = 8

Therefore, the value of x is 8 inches.

what is the sum of the values of x that are solutions to the equation x^2 - 10x - 22 = 2 ? a. -12 b. -10 c. -2 d. 2 e. 10

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x = 2, 12[/tex]

Your correct answer is D, since I don't see a -12.

Step 1: Subtracting 2 from both sides

Since we have to find the value of x, we have to factor the equation. To do so, we first have to subtract the two from both sides of the equation so all the values are on one side of the equation.

[tex]x^2-10x-22(-2)=2(-2)\\x^2-10x-24=0[/tex]

Step 2: Factoring the equation

Part 1

After subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation, we have to factor the polynomial to be able to get it into two sets of parentheses, so in order to do that, we will ignore the equal sign and the 0 for now. We are now left with:

[tex]x^2-10x-24\\[/tex]

First, we find the multiples of the first term, [tex]x^2\\[/tex], and the last term, -24. Since there is an invisible 1 before the first term, we are basically finding the multiples of [tex]1x^2[/tex], which is [tex]1x[/tex] and [tex]1x[/tex], or x and x. Now we have to find the correct set of numbers for -24. Do do that, we have to make sure that when we multiply the first set of numbers (x, x) with the second set (?, ?) and add them together, then we would get the number in the middle (-10x). So: Two of the most obvious multiples for 24 are 6 and 4, 12 and 2, and 3 and 8. But, this is a negative 24, so we have to work ahead to find out which pair we use first. If we multiply 8 and 3 with x and x, we get 8x and 3x. When we add them together, we do not get 10x, but instead, we get 11x, so it is the wrong pair. If we do the same thing to 6 and 4, we would get 10x, but since 24 is negative, it is not correct because we would need one of the numbers to be negative. In this case, they equal to 10x, but one of the numbers would have to be negative because (if 6 was the negative):

[tex]-6 * 4=-24\\[/tex]

But:

[tex]4-6\neq 10\\[/tex]

So this is not the correct set either. Our last set is 12 and 2, and when we multiply by x (12x and 2x) and we set one of the numbers to be a negative (-12) and subtract them, we get -10x, so, therefore, this is the correct number pair.

[tex]-12*2=-24\\2-12=-10[/tex]

Part 2

With all that done, we now have to factor the numbers. We take the first numbers (x and x), and we place them in front of each of the two parentheses.

[tex](x,?)(x,?)[/tex]

Now, we place -12 and 2 in those places.

[tex](x,-12)(x,2)[/tex]

To find x, we have to plug in the equal sign and 0 from the beginning.

[tex](x,-12)(x,2)=0[/tex]

Since they both have to equal to 0, then that means there would be two different answers because, for example: 12 - 12 = 0, but 12 - 2 ≠ 0.

To find both solutions, we treat the numbers in each of the parentheses as its own equation, and we solve it from there.

x - 12 = 0

12 - 12 = 0

x - 2 = 0

2 - 2 = 0

12 and 2 are our solutions! Hope this helps :)
