8. A goldsmith has 130 grams of a gold alloy (a mixture of gold and one or more other metals) containing 85% pure gold. How
much pure gold must be added to this alloy to obtain an alloy that is 90% pure gold?
The amount of pure gold that should be added is
grams.
(Type an integer or a decimal.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 65 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

If 130 grams of a gold alloy (a mixture of gold and one or more other metals) containing 85% pure gold, you should first calculate the amount of gold that makes up this percentage.

That is, 85% of 130 grams.

85/100 × 130 = 110.5

Then, let X be what will be added to the above value to make 90%. So,

(110.5 + X) / ( 130 + X ) × 100 = 90

Divide both sides by 100

(110.5 + X) / ( 130 + X ) = 90/100

(110.5 + X) / ( 130 + X ) = 0.9

Cross multiply and open the bracket

110.5 + X = 117 + 0.9X

Collect the like terms

X - 0.9X = 117 - 110.5

0.1X = 6.5

Divide both sides by 0.1

X = 6.5/0.1

X = 65 grams

Therefore, the amount of pure gold that should be added is 65 grams

2x+y=4
2y=6-2x

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, first you'd have to get the equations in slope-intercept form in order to make it easier for you to see it in the bigger picture. 2x+y=4 would be y= 2x-4, and the other equation would be y= x-3. If you were to solve it, there would be one solution since the y's cancel out. If you graphed it, there would be a point of intersection, unlike when the lines are parallel if there's 0 solutions or only one line's there if there's infinitely many solutions.

Answers

Answer:

x=54 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

These two angles are complementary, meaning that they add to 90 degrees.

If one angle is 36 degrees, then we can write this equation: 36+x=90

We want to find what x is, so we should isolate x.

We can isolate x by subtracting 36 on both sides.

x=90-36

x=54

Answer:

54°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠PQR +∠RQS =∠PQS

36° + x° = 90°

x = 90 - 36 = 54°

Add the following polynomials, then place the answer in the proper location on the grid. Write your answer in descending powers of x. x4 -3x + 1, 4x2 - 2x + 8, and x3 - 9

Answers

Answer:

x⁴ + x³ + 4x² - 5x

Step-by-step explanation:

The polynomials given in the question are:

x⁴ - 3x + 1

4x² - 2x + 8

x³ - 9

We have to add all them

First write all the polynomial in the summation form:

(x⁴ - 3x + 1) + (4x² - 2x + 8) + (x³ - 9)

Open the brackets:

x⁴ - 3x + 1 + 4x² - 2x + 8 + x³ - 9

Group together the similar terms

(x⁴) + (x³) + (4x²) + (-3x -2x) + (1 + 8 - 9)

Finding the sum in brackets:

x⁴ + x³ + 4x² + (-5x) + (0)

x⁴ + x³ + 4x² - 5x

Note that the sum is in descending powers of x

f(g(x)) =x for inverses

A)f(x)=2x-9 and g(x)=(x+9)/(2)

2(x+9)/2) -9 = Canceling the 2  x+9 -9 = x   inverse

B)f(x)=(2)/(x)-6 and g(x)=(x+6)/(2)

2/(x+6)/2 ) -6 =4/(x+6) - 6  This will not give me x

C)f(x)=(x)/(3)+4 and g(x)=3x-4

(3x+4)/3  -4  = x + 4/3   -4    This will not give me x

Delaware was the first state to enter the Union and Hawaii was the 50th. If we order the positions of entry for the rest of the states, we find that State A entered the Union right after State B, and the product of their order-of-entry numbers is 132. Use the given information to complete each statement. State A was the th state to enter the Union. State B was the th state to enter the Union.

Answers

Answer:

State A was the 12th state to enter the Union. State B was the 11th state to enter the Union.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call x to the order-of-entry of State B, therefore the order-of-entry of State A is x+1. Given that he product of their order-of-entry numbers is 132:

x*(x+1) = 132

x² + x - 132 = 0

Using quadratic formula:

[tex]x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4(a)(c)}}{2(a)} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1^2 -4(1)(-132)}}{2(1)} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{-1 \pm 23}{2} [/tex]

[tex]x_1 = \frac{-1 + 23}{2} [/tex]

[tex]x_1 = 11 [/tex]

[tex]x_2 = \frac{-1 - 23}{2} [/tex]

[tex]x_2 = -12[/tex]

The negative solution has no sense in the context of our problem, then the solution is x = 11.

Museum: 3x=total cost for Museum (m)

Train Ride: 5x=total cost for Train Ride (t)

m+t= total money spent

Now, let's replace the values.

Museum: 3(27)=$81

Train Ride: 5(27)=$135

$81+$135=$216 for the Train Ride and visit to the Museum.

Assume that when adults with smartphones are randomly selected, 49% use them in meetings or classes. If 30 adult smartphone users are randomly selected, find the probability that exactly 23 of them use their smartphones

Answers

Answer: 0.0013684

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Probability (p) = 49% = 0.49

Number of selected adults (n) = 30

Find the probability that exactly 23 use their smartphone.

The problem is abive can be solved using the binomial probability function.

Binomial probability :

P(X = x) = [n! / x! (n-x)!] * P^x * (1 - P)^(n-x)

At x = 23

P(X = 23) = [30! / 23! (30-23)!] * P^23 * (1-0.49)^(30-23)

P(X = 23) = [30! / 23! (7)!] * 0.49^23 * (0.51)^7

P(X =23) = (2035800) × 6.72203E−10

Answer:

We are given that John wants to invest in a simple interest savings account .The interest rate on this account is 0.7%.

Now to find simple interest in x years

Formula : [tex]Si = P \times T \times R[/tex]

Where P = Principal

T= time

R = rate of interest in decimals

So,[tex]SI=a \times 0.007 \times x[/tex]

Amount = Principal+Interest

Amount = [tex]a+a(0.007)x[/tex]

We are given that The account balance y can be modeled by the following linear equation y=150,000+150,000(0.007)x

So, On comparing a = 150000

Hence John's initial investment is Rs.150000

Answers

Answer:

Jessie scored higher than Reagan.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Reagan scored 1140 on the SAT. The distribution of SAT scores in a reference population is normally distributed with mean 1000 and standard deviation 100.

Jessie scored 30 on the ACT. The distribution of ACT scores in a reference population is normally distributed with mean 17 and standard deviation 5.

For finding who performed better on the standardized exams, we have to calculate the z-scores for both people.

1. Finding z-score for Reagan;

Let X = distribution of SAT scores

SO, X ~ Normal([tex]\mu=1000, \sigma^{2}=100^{2}[/tex])

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

                                    Z  =  [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean = 1000

            [tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = 100

Now, Reagan scored 1140 on the SAT, that is;

       z-score  =  [tex]\frac{1140-1000}{100}[/tex]  =  1.4

2. Finding z-score for Jessie;

Let X = distribution of ACT scores

SO, X ~ Normal([tex]\mu=17, \sigma^{2}=5^{2}[/tex])

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

                                    Z  =  [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]  ~ N(0,1)

where, [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean = 17

            [tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = 5

Now, Jessie scored 30 on the ACT, that is;

       z-score  =  [tex]\frac{30-17}{5}[/tex]  =  2.6

This means that Jessie scored higher than Reagan because Jessie's standardized score was 2.6, which is 2.6 standard deviations above the mean and Reagan's standardized score was 1.4, which is 1.4 standard deviations above the mean.
