A business is owned by 3 people. Mrs. Applegate owns
3
19
of the business. Mrs. Brown owns 3 times as much as
Mrs. Charles. What fractional part of the business does Mrs. Brown own?

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

Mrs. Applegate owns  [tex]\dfrac{3}{19}[/tex] of the business.

Mrs. Brown owns 3 times as much as  Mrs. Charles.

To find:

The  fractional part of the business that Mrs. Brown owns.

Solution:

Let Mrs. Charles owns x part of business.

Mrs. Brown owns 3 times as much as  Mrs. Charles.

Mrs. Brown owns = 3x part of business.

Mrs. Applegate owns  [tex]=\dfrac{3}{19}[/tex] of the business.

[tex]x+3x+\dfrac{3}{19}=1[/tex]

[tex]4x=1-\dfrac{3}{19}[/tex]

[tex]4x=\dfrac{19-3}{19}[/tex]

[tex]4x=\dfrac{16}{19}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4.

[tex]x=\dfrac{16}{4\times 19}[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{4}{19}[/tex]

Now,

Mrs. Brown owns  [tex]=3\times x[/tex]

[tex]=3\times \dfrac{4}{19}[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{12}{19}[/tex]

Therefore, Mrs. Brown owns  [tex]\dfrac{12}{19}[/tex] of the business.

Evaluate the function for x = 2,3,4
F(x) =2x-7-3

Answers

Answer:

below in bold

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x - 7 - 3

~Combine like terms

f(x) = 2x - 10

When x = 2...

f(x) = 2(2) - 10

f(x) = 4 - 10

f(x) = -6

When x = 3...

f(x) = 2(3) - 10

f(x) = 6 - 10

f(x) = -4

When x = 4...

f(x) = 2(4) - 10

f(x) = 8 - 10

f(x) = -2

Which reason justifies statement 2?

A) Vertical angles are congruent

B) Corresponding angles are congruent

C) Alternate interior angles are congruent

D) Alternate exterior angles are congruent

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Is b) corresponding angles are congruent.

The reason that justifies statement two: "Angle Y ≅ Angle 4", is option C "Alternate interior angles are congruent".

What are congruent angles?

Angles that are of the same measurement are called congruent.

Suppose that two angles ∠A and ∠B are of the same measure, then

[tex]m\angle A = m\angle B[/tex] is the notation to say that they are of the same measurement, where the small m shows that it's the measurement's the angles they're preceding.

We can see that angle Y and angle 4 are two alternate angles within the two parallel lines cut across by the transversal, therefore, they are called alternate interior angles.

Since Alternate interior angles are always congruent to each other.

Thwithefore, the reason that justifies statement two: "Angle Y ≅ Angle 4", is "Alternate interior angles are congruent".

Answer:

  the correct answer is marked

Step-by-step explanation:

When the graph of the left side of the equation does not intersect the graph of the right side of the equation, there are no solutions.

Even if you extend the domain to complex numbers, there are no solutions. The f(x) = |x| function always returns a positive real value, even for complex numbers.

The point-slope form of the equation of a line that passes through points (8, 4) and (0, 2) is y - 4 = (x – 8). What
is the slope-intercept form of the equation for this line?
O y = 1 x - 12
O y = -x-4
O y=+*+2
O y=x+6

Answers

Answer: y = x/4 + 2

Y equals one fourth x plus two.

Step-by-step explanation:

There seems to be a typo on answer choice c.

Slope intercept form is y= mx + b

m is the slope. b is the y-intercept.

The y-intercept is given here in the coordinate (0,2) It is +2

Slope is rise/run.

Rise: Difference in given y-values is 4-2 = 2.

Run: Difference in x-values is 8-0=8.

So the slope is 2/8 = 1/4

The equation is y = 1/4 x + 2

From the graph, [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] and m < 0 (The slope right here is less than 0.)

That means cut ( b ) and ( d ) choice, they both are wrong.

Now look at ( a ) and ( c ).

For ( a ) It's just f(x) = -2x but the graph that's shown here intercepts y-axis at (0,2).   f(x) = -2x is just slope and intercepts y-axis at (0,0)

So the answer is ( c )

How will increasing the level of confidence without changing the sample size affect the width of a confidence interval for a population mean?

Answers

Answer:

The width of the confidence interval is going to be wider

Step-by-step explanation:

When we Increase the level of confidence without changing the sample size the width of the confidence interval is going to be affected in the following way;

The margin of error (M.E) is going to be larger or be increased. This increase is due to the fact that the critical value is going to increase. Then the increased margin of error would cause the width of the confidence interval to become wider.

e length of a rectangle is five times its width. If the area of the rectangle is 320in, find its perimeter.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let width of rectangle =X

So length=5x

Given area of rectangle =320inch

Area of rectangle =length ×width

Length×width=320

5X×X=320

5x^2=320

x^2=320/5

x^2=64

So X=√64

Width x= 8inch

Length 5x=5×8

= 40 inch

Perimeter of rectangle =2(length+width)

=2(40+8)

=2(48)

=96inch
