Step-by-step explanation:
A lumber supplier sells 96-inch pieces of oak. Each piece must be within ¼ of an inch of 96 inches. Write and solve an inequality to show acceptable lengths.
Answer:
[tex]95 \frac{3}{4} \: inch \leqslant x \leqslant 96 \frac{1}{4} \: inch[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a lumber supplier sells 96 inch Pieces of oak which must be within 1/4 of an inch.
This situation can be represented by the following absolute value inequality:
[tex]|x \: - 96| \: \leqslant \: \frac{1}{4} [/tex].
The absolute value can be thought of as the size of something because length cannot be negative. The length must be no more than 1/4 away from 96.
To simplify this, pretend this is a standard equality, |x-96| = 1/4. 1/4 is the range of acceptable length, 96 is the median of the range, and x is the size of the wood.
First apply the rule |x| = y → x = [tex]\pm[/tex]y
|x-96| = 1/4
x - 96 = [tex]\pm[/tex]1/4
x = [tex]96 \pm 1/4[/tex]
(These are just the minimum, and maximum sizes)
Now with a less than or equal to, the solutions are now everything included between these two values.
Therefore:
[tex]96 - 1/4 \: \leqslant x [/tex] [tex]\leqslant \: 96 + 1/4 [/tex]
With less than inequalities, you must have the lower value on the left, and the higher value on the right.
If x represents the size of the pieces, then the acceptable lengths are represented by this following inequality:
[tex]95 \frac{3}{4} \: inch \leqslant x \leqslant 96 \frac{1}{4} \: inch[/tex]
This is interpreted as x (being the size of the oak) is greater than or equal to 95 3/4, and less than or equal to 96 1/4 in inches.
Tickets for a drumline competition cost $5 at the gate and $3 in advance. One hundred more tickets were sold in advance than at the gate. The total revenue from ticket sales was $1990. How many tickets were sold in advance?
Answer:
The number of tickets sold at the gate is [tex] G = 211.25[/tex]
The number of tickets sold in advance is [tex] A = 311.25 [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The cost of a tickets at the gate is [tex]a = \$ 5[/tex]
The cost of a ticket in advance is [tex]b = \$ 3[/tex]
Let the number of ticket sold in the gate be G
Let the number of ticket sold in advance be A
From the question we are told that
One hundred more tickets were sold in advance than at the gate and this can be mathematically represented as
[tex]G + 100 = A[/tex]
From the question we are told that
The total revenue from ticket sales was $1990 and this can be mathematically represented as
[tex]5 G + 3A = 1990[/tex]
substituting for A in the equation above
[tex]5 G + 3[G + 100]= 1990[/tex]
[tex]5 G + 3G + 300= 1990[/tex]
[tex] 8G + 300= 1990[/tex]
[tex] 8G = 1690[/tex]
=> [tex] G = 211.25[/tex]
Substituting this for G in the above equation
[tex]5 [211.25] + 3A = 1990[/tex]
=> [tex] 3A = 1990 - 1056.25[/tex]
=> [tex] A = 311.25 [/tex]

From a circular sheet of paper with a radius 20 cm, four circles
of radius 5 cm each are cut out. What is the ratio of the uncut to
the cut portion?
Answer:
3 : 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The biggest circle has a radius of 20 cm
So that means, its area will be,
Area = [tex]\pi r^{2}[/tex]
Area = [tex]\pi * 20^{2}[/tex]
A = [tex]\pi * 400[/tex]
=> A = 400[tex]\pi[/tex]
We do not need to solve this because it is nit required
Then, one small circle has an area of,
Area = [tex]\pi r^{2}[/tex]
Area = [tex]\pi *5^{2}[/tex]
Area = [tex]\pi *25[/tex]
=> Area = 25[tex]\pi[/tex]
As there are 4 circles in, we get that the area covered by the small squares,
=> [tex]25\pi * 4[/tex]
=> [tex]100\pi[/tex]
So, the amount shaded = 100/400 (We can omit the [tex]\pi[/tex] at this stage because we are finding out a ratio)
=> 1/4
So, there is 1 cut region and the remaining is the uncut region,
As we need to find uncut to cut, the ratio will be,
=> remaining : 1
=> 3 : 1

My math teacher,mr.numeric, went to the auto show last weekend. I made the mistake of asking him what he saw.here was his response: I’m glad you asked. I made several interesting observations. As you might have guessed, every red car was a sports car, but I found it odd that half of all the blue cars were sports cars. Interestingly, a salesman told me that half of all the sports cars were red. I counted 40 blue cars and 30 red cars. Now can you tell me how many sports cars were neither blue nor red?
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
all red cars were sports cars (30) half of the blue cars were sports cars (20) if 30 is half of all the sports cars, and 20 is 2/3 of half, then the 1/3 left is 10.
A basketball player made 55 baskets in a season. Of these, 20% were three-point shots. How many three-point shots did the player make?
Given:
A basketball player made 55 baskets in a season.
20% of these baskets were three-point shots.
To find:
The number of three-point shots.
Solution:
We have,
Total number of baskets = 55
Number of three-point shots = 20% of total baskets
Now,
[tex]\text{Number of three-point shots}=\dfrac{20}{100}\times 55[/tex]
[tex]\text{Number of three-point shots}=\dfrac{1}{5}\times 55[/tex]
[tex]\text{Number of three-point shots}=11[/tex]
Therefore, the number of three-point shots did made by the player is 11.

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is A = 1/2h (b1 + b2), where h is the height of the trapezoid, and b1 and b2 are the lengths of the bases.
Part A: Solve the formula for h. What is the height of a trapezoid that has an area of 91 cm2 and bases of 12 cm and 16 cm?
Part B: What method would you use to solve the formula for b1? What is the formula when solved for b1?
Part C: What is the length of the other base if one base of a trapezoid is 30 cm, the height of the trapezoid is 8.6 cm, and the area is 215 cm2?
Part D: If both bases of a trapezoid have the same length, can you find their lengths given the area and height of the trapezoid? Explain.
Answer:
A) The height of the trapezoid is 6.5 centimeters.
B) We used an algebraic approach to to solve the formula for [tex]b_{1}[/tex]. [tex]b_{1} = \frac{2\cdot A}{h}-b_{2}[/tex]
C) The length of the other base of the trapezoid is 20 centimeters.
D) We can find their lengths as both have the same length and number of variable is reduced to one, from [tex]b_{1}[/tex] and [tex]b_{2}[/tex] to [tex]b[/tex]. [tex]b = \frac{A}{h}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
A) The formula for the area of a trapezoid is:
[tex]A = \frac{1}{2}\cdot h \cdot (b_{1}+b_{2})[/tex] (Eq. 1)
Where:
[tex]h[/tex] - Height of the trapezoid, measured in centimeters.
[tex]b_{1}[/tex], [tex]b_{2}[/tex] - Lengths fo the bases, measured in centimeters.
[tex]A[/tex] - Area of the trapezoid, measured in square centimeters.
We proceed to clear the height of the trapezoid:
1) [tex]A = \frac{1}{2} \cdot h \cdot (b_{1}+b_{2})[/tex] Given.
2) [tex]A = 2^{-1}\cdot h \cdot (b_{1}+b_{2})[/tex] Definition of division.
3) [tex]2\cdot A\cdot (b_{1}+b_{2})^{-1} = (2\cdot 2^{-1})\cdot h\cdot [(b_{1}+b_{2})\cdot (b_{1}+b_{2})^{-1}][/tex] Compatibility with multiplication/Commutative and associative properties.
4) [tex]h = \frac{2\cdot A}{b_{1}+b_{2}}[/tex] Existence of multiplicative inverse/Modulative property/Definition of division/Result
If we know that [tex]A = 91\,cm^{2}[/tex], [tex]b_{1} = 16\,cm[/tex] and [tex]b_{2} = 12\,cm[/tex], then height of the trapezoid is:
[tex]h = \frac{2\cdot (91\,cm^{2})}{16\,cm+12\,cm}[/tex]
[tex]h = 6.5\,cm[/tex]
The height of the trapezoid is 6.5 centimeters.
B) We should follow this procedure to solve the formula for [tex]b_{1}[/tex]:
1) [tex]A = \frac{1}{2} \cdot h \cdot (b_{1}+b_{2})[/tex] Given.
2) [tex]A = 2^{-1}\cdot h \cdot (b_{1}+b_{2})[/tex] Definition of division.
3) [tex]2\cdot A \cdot h^{-1} = (2\cdot 2^{-1})\cdot (h\cdot h^{-1})\cdot (b_{1}+b_{2})[/tex] Compatibility with multiplication/Commutative and associative properties.
4) [tex]2\cdot A \cdot h^{-1} = b_{1}+b_{2}[/tex] Existence of multiplicative inverse/Modulative property
5) [tex]\frac{2\cdot A}{h} +(-b_{2}) = [b_{2}+(-b_{2})] +b_{1}[/tex] Definition of division/Compatibility with addition/Commutative and associative properties
6) [tex]b_{1} = \frac{2\cdot A}{h}-b_{2}[/tex] Existence of additive inverse/Definition of subtraction/Modulative property/Result.
We used an algebraic approach to to solve the formula for [tex]b_{1}[/tex].
C) We can use the result found in B) to determine the length of the remaining base of the trapezoid: ([tex]A= 215\,cm^{2}[/tex], [tex]h = 8.6\,cm[/tex] and [tex]b_{2} = 30\,cm[/tex])
[tex]b_{1} = \frac{2\cdot (215\,cm^{2})}{8.6\,cm} - 30\,cm[/tex]
[tex]b_{1} = 20\,cm[/tex]
The length of the other base of the trapezoid is 20 centimeters.
D) Yes, we can find their lengths as both have the same length and number of variable is reduced to one, from [tex]b_{1}[/tex] and [tex]b_{2}[/tex] to [tex]b[/tex]. Now we present the procedure to clear [tex]b[/tex] below:
1) [tex]A = \frac{1}{2} \cdot h \cdot (b_{1}+b_{2})[/tex] Given.
2) [tex]b_{1} = b_{2}[/tex] Given.
3) [tex]A = \frac{1}{2}\cdot h \cdot (2\cdot b)[/tex] 2) in 1)
4) [tex]A = 2^{-1}\cdot h\cdot (2\cdot b)[/tex] Definition of division.
5) [tex]A\cdot h^{-1} = (2\cdot 2^{-1})\cdot (h\cdot h^{-1})\cdot b[/tex] Commutative and associative properties/Compatibility with multiplication.

A company sells widgets. The amount of profit, y, made by the company, is related to the selling price of each widget, x, by the given equation. Using this equation, find out what price the widgets should be sold for, to the nearest cent, for the company to make the maximum profit.
y=-10x^2+600x-3588
y=−10x
2
+600x−3588
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The maximum profit will be found in the vertex of the parabola, which is what your equation is. You could do this by completing the square, but it is way easier to just solve for h and k using the following formulas:
[tex]h=\frac{-b}{2a}[/tex] for the x coordinate of the vertex, and
[tex]k=c-\frac{b^2}{4a}[/tex] for the y coordinate of the vertex.
x will be the selling price of each widget and y will be the profit. Usually, x is the number of the items sold, but I'm going off your info here for what the vertex means in the context of this problem.
Our variables for the quadratic are as follows:
a = -10
b = 600
c = -3588. Therefore,
[tex]h=\frac{-600}{2(-10)}=30[/tex] so the cost of each widget is $30. Now for the profit:
[tex]k=-3588-(\frac{(600)^2}{4(-10)})[/tex] This one is worth the simplification step by step:
[tex]k=-3588-(\frac{360000}{-40})[/tex] and
k = -3588 - (-9000) and
k = -3588 + 9000 so
k = 5412
That means that the profit made by selling the widgets at $30 apiece is $5412.
Hence,the profit made by selling the widgets at $[tex]30[/tex] apiece is $[tex]5412[/tex].
What is the maximum profit?
Maximum profit, or profit maximisation, is the process of finding the right price for your products or services to produce the best profit.
Here given that,
A company sells widgets. The amount of profit, [tex]y[/tex], made by the company, is related to the selling price of each widget, [tex]x[/tex], by the given equation.
As the maximum profit found in the vertex of the parabola,
Here, [tex]x[/tex] will be the selling price of each widget and [tex]y[/tex] will be the profit.
The number of items sold is [tex]x[/tex].
So, the quadratic equation is:-
[tex]a = -10b = 600c = -3588.[/tex]
Therefore, so the cost of each widget is $[tex]30[/tex].
For the profit:-
[tex]k = -3588 - (-9000) andk = -3588 + 9000 sok = 5412[/tex]
Hence,the profit made by selling the widgets at $[tex]30[/tex] apiece is $[tex]5412[/tex].

The body temperatures of a group of healthy adults have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 98.18 F and a standard deviation of 0.65 F. Using the empirical rule, find each approximate percentage below.
a.
What is the approximate percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures within 3 standard deviation of the mean, or between 96.23 F and100.3 F?
Answer:
99.7%
Step-by-step explanation:
Empirical rule formula states that:
• 68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation from the mean - that means between μ - σ and μ + σ.
• 95% of data falls within 2 standard deviations from the mean - between μ – 2σ and μ + 2σ.
• 99.7% of data falls within 3 standard deviations from the mean - between μ - 3σ and μ + 3σ.
From the question, we have mean of 98.18 F and a standard deviation of 0.65 F
The approximate percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures between 96.23 F and100.13 F is
μ - 3σ
= 98.18 - 3(0.65)
= 98.18 - 1.95
= 96.23 F
μ + 3σ.
98.18 + 3(0.65)
= 98.18 + 1.95
= 100.13 F
Therefore, the approximate percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures between 96.23 F and 100.13 F which is within 3 standard deviations of the mean is 99.7%

Step-by-step explanation:
Your computer supply store sells two types of inkjet printers. The first, type A, costs $241 and you make a $25 profit on each one. The second, type B, costs $103 and you make an $11 profit on each one. You can order no more than 140 printers this month, and you need to make at least $2660 profit on them. If you must order at least one of each type of printer, how many of each type of printer should you order if you want to minimize your cost?
Answer:
The number of printers for type A = x = 80 printers
The number of printers for type B = y = 60 printers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of printers for type A = x
Let the number of printers for type B = y
You can order no more than 140 printers this month
x + y ≤ 140
x + y = 140
x = 140 - y
Profit for type A = $25
Profit for type B = $11
You need to make at least $2660 profit
25x + 11y ≥ 2660
25x + 11y = 2660
Substitute 140 - y = x
25(140 - y ) + 11y = 2660
3500 - 25y + 11y = 2660
3500 - 2660 = 25y - 11y
840 = 14y
y = 840/14
y = 60 printers
x = 140 - y
x = 140 - 60
x = 80 printers
To minimize cost :
The number of printers for type A = x = 80 printers
The number of printers for type B = y = 60 printers

Options for Blank:
A: 200 or 500
B: 500
C: 150
D: 200
Answer:
B. 500Step-by-step explanation:
Given the profit made by a company modeled by the function
p = -n² + 300n + 100,000
The company breaks even when p = 0
To get the number of boxes sold when the company breaks even, we will substitute p = 0 into the equation.
0 = -n² + 300n + 100,000
multiply through by -1
0 = n² - 300n - 100,000
n² - 300n - 100,000 = 0
(n² - 500n) + (200n - 100,000) = 0
n(n-500)+200(n-500) = 0
(n+200)(n-500) = 0
n+200 = 0 and n-500 = 0
n = -200 and n = 500
Since n cannot be negative
Hence n = 500
This means that the company breaks even when it sells 500 boxes

The distribution of bladder volume in men is approximately Normal with mean 550 ml and standard deviation 100 ml.
Required:
a. What percent of men have a bladder volume smaller than 450 ml?
b. Between what volumes do the middle 95% of men’s bladders fall?
c. What proportion of male bladders are between 500 and 600 ml?
d. What volumes do the middle 90% of men’s bladder fall?
Answer:
a) 15.866%
b) Middle 95% = 350 ml to 750 ml
c) 0.3829
d) Middle 90% of men’s bladder fall = 385.5ml to 714.5 ml
Step-by-step explanation:
We solve using z score formula
z-score is is z = (x-μ)/σ, where x is the raw score, μ is the population mean, and σ is the population standard deviation.
The distribution of bladder volume in men is approximately Normal with mean 550 ml and standard deviation 100 ml.
Required:
a. What percent of men have a bladder volume smaller than 450 ml?
z = 450 - 550/100
= -1
P-value from Z-Table:
P(x<450) = 0.15866
Convert to percentage
0.15866 × 100
= 15.866%
b. Between what volumes do the middle 95% of men’s bladders fall?
Middle 95% falls between 2 standard deviation of the mean
μ ± 2σ
μ - 2σ
550 - 2(100)
= 550 - 200
= 350 ml
μ + 2σ
= 550 + 2(100)
= 550 + 200
= 750 ml
Middle 95% = 350 ml to 750 ml
c. What proportion of male bladders are between 500 and 600 ml?
For 500ml
z = 500 - 550/100
= -0.5
Probability value from Z-Table:
P(x = 500) = 0.30854
For 600ml
z = 600 - 550/100
= 0.5
Probabilty value from Z-Table:
P(x = 600) = 0.69146
Proportion of male bladders are between 500 and 600 ml
P(x = 600) - P(x = 500)
0.69146 - 0.30854
= 0.38292
≈ 0.3829
d. What volumes do the middle 90% of men’s bladder fall?
The z score for middle 90% + / – 1.645
Hence,
1.645 = x - 550/100
1.645 × 100 = x - 550
164.5 + 550 = x
x = 714.5 ml
-1.645 = x - 550/100
-1.645 × 100 = x - 550
- 164.5 + 550 = x
x = 385.5ml
Middle 90% of men’s bladder fall = 385.5ml to 714.5 ml
