URGENT!

*silly answers will be reported

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a = 1.5

b = 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to solve [tex](x+a)^2[/tex] and replace the result in the initial equation as:

[tex]x^2+3x+4=(x+a)^2+b\\x^2+3x+4=x^2+2ax+a^2+b[/tex]

Then, this equality apply only if the coefficient of [tex]x[/tex] is equal in both sides and the constant is equal in both sides.

It means that we have two equations:

[tex]3x=2ax\\4=a^2+b[/tex]

So, using the first equation and solving for a, we get:

[tex]3x=2ax\\3=2a\\a=\frac{3}{2}=1.5[/tex]

Finally, replacing the value of a in the second equation and solving for b, we get:

[tex]4=a^2+b\\4=1.5^2+b\\b=4-1.5^2\\b=4-2.25\\b=1.75[/tex]

Applying the recursive rule aₙ; a ₙ ₋ ₁ + 3, write the first seven (7) terms of the sequence when a = 10.

Answers

Answer:

First seven terms apart from 10 are

13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, 31

Step-by-step explanation:

Given recursive rule aₙ = a ₙ ₋ ₁ + 3

a1 = 10

[tex]x_{1} = 10\\x_{2} = x_{2-1} + 3= x_{1} + 3 = 10 + 3 = 13\\x_{3} = x_{3-1} + 3= x_{2} + 3 = 13 + 3 = 16\\x_{4} = x_{4-1} + 3= x_{3} + 3 = 16 + 3 = 19\\x_{5} = x_{5-1} + 3= x_{4} + 3 = 19 + 3 = 22\\x_{6} = x_{6-1} + 3= x_{5} + 3 = 22 + 3 = 25\\\x_{7} = x_{7-1} + 3= x_{6} + 3 = 25 + 3 = 28\\x_{8} = x_{8-1} + 3= x_{7} + 3 = 28 + 3 = 31[/tex]

Thus, first seven terms apart from 10 are

13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, 31

A school allots £1500 to spend on a trip to the theatre. Theatre tickets have a regular cost of £35 each and are on offer for 1/5 off A train ticket for the day will cost £15 each. If 2 teachers and the maximum number of students attend, how much money will the school have left over?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

School allots £1500 to spend on a trip to the theatre.

Theatre tickets have a regular cost of £35 each and are on offer for 1/5 off

therefore 4/5*35 = 28 for the tickets

:

A train ticket for the day will cost £15 each.

therefore total cost for each: 28 + 15 = 43 pounds each

:

If 2 teachers and the maximum number of students attend, how much money will the school have left over?

:

let s = no. of students

43(s+2) =< 1500

43s + 86 =< 1500

43s =< 1500 - 86

43s =< 1414

s =< 1414/43

s =< 32.88, 32 students max

:

find how much left over. plus 2 teachers = 34 people

1500 - 43(34) =

1500 - 1462 = 38 pounds left over

Edmund makes a cube using eight small cubes. Samuel uses cubes of the same size as the small cubes to make a cuboid twice as long, three times as wide and four times as high as Edmund's cube. How many more cubes does Samuel use than Edmund?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of small cubes that Edmund used is 8. Let us assume that the volume of each small cube is 1m³. This means that the volume of the cube made is 8m³. Since volume of cube = s³, then s = 3√8 = 2m

Each side of the cube made is 2m

Samuel uses cubes of the same size as the small cubes to make a cuboid twice as long, three times as wide and four times as high as Edmund's cube. It means that the sides of the cuboid are

Length = 2 × 2 = 4m

Width = 3 × 2 = 6m

Height = 4 × 2 = 8m

Volume = length × width × height

Volume = 4 × 6 × 8 = 192 m³

Number of small cubes used is 192/1 {= 192

The number of cubes that Samuel used more that Edmund is 192 - 8 = 184 small cubes

One fourth of a number is added to one fifth of the same number. If the result is 18, find the number

Answers

Answer:

[tex]40[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]x[/tex] be the number.

[tex]\frac{1}{4} x+\frac{1}{5} x=18[/tex]

[tex]\frac{9}{20} x=18[/tex]

[tex]x=18 \times \frac{20}{9}[/tex]

[tex]x=40[/tex]

If one fourth of a number is added to one fifth of the same number, and the result is 18, then the number = 40

Let the given number be represented by x

One-fourth of the number = x/4

One-fifth of the same number = x/5

One-fourth of the number is added to one fifth of the same number =

x/4  +  x/5  

The result is 18

This can be represented mathematically as:

x/4  +  x/5     =  18

Simplifying the equation above

(5x + 4x)/20  =  18

Cross multiply

5x +  4x  =  18(20)

9x  =  360

x   =  360/9

x   =  40

The number = 40

11 pens weigh 53.43 grams how many grams will 2 pens weigh

Answers

Answer:

9.72

Step-by-step explanation:

53.43/11 = 4.86

4.86*1 = 9.72

Answer:

2 pens will weigh about 9.7 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First, you divide 53.43 by 11 which gives you 4.85 grams (I used the first 2 digits.)

2. Since you know that 1 pen weighs about 4.85 grams, you multiply 4.85 by 2 to find the amount of grams for 2 pens. The answer is 9.7 grams.

What is the length, in units, of segment CD?

Answers

Answer:

The answet is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to find the angle of ACB using Sine Rule, sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse :

[tex] \sin(θ ) = \frac{oppo.}{hypo.} [/tex]

[tex]let \: oppo. = 4 \\ let \: hypo. = 5[/tex]

[tex] \sin(θ) = \frac{4}{5} [/tex]

[tex]θ = {\sin( \frac{4}{5} ) }^{ - 1} [/tex]

[tex]θ = 53.1 \: (1d.p)[/tex]

Given that line AB is parallel to line CD so ∠C = 90°. Next, you have to find the angle of ACD :

[tex]ACD = 90 - 53.1 = 36.9[/tex]

Lastly, you can find the length of CD using Cosine rule, cosθ = adjacent/hypotenuse :

[tex] \cos(θ) = \frac{adj.}{hypo.} [/tex]

[tex]let \: θ = 36.9 \\ let \: adj. = 5 \\ let \: hypo. = CD[/tex]

[tex] \cos(36.9 ) = \frac{5}{CD} [/tex]

[tex]CD \cos(36.9) = 5[/tex]

[tex]CD = \frac{5}{ \cos(36.9) } [/tex]

Find the perimeter of this figure to the
nearest hundredth. Use 3.14

Answers

Answer:

48.56 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

==>Given:

A rectangular figure joined with a half circle with the following dimensions:

Length of rectangle (l) = 10ft

Width of rectangle (w) = 8ft

Diameter of the half circle (d) = the width of the rectangle = 8ft

π = 3.14

==>Required:

Perimeter of the figure = perimeter of a rectangle + permimeter of the half circle

==>Solution:

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + w)

Perimeter of half circle = ½ of circumference of a circle = ½πd

Perimeter of the figure = 2(10 + 8) + (½*3.14*8)

= 2(18) + (3.14*4)

= 36 + 12.56

Perimeter = 48.56 ft (to the nearest hundredth)

Answer:56.56

Step-by-step explanation:

For the perimeter of a rectangle

P = 2 × (a + b)

P = 2 × (8 + 10)

P = 2 × 18

P = 36

For the perimeter of a semicircle

P = (pi × r) + (2 × r)

Diameter = 8

Radius = 8/2

Radius = 4

P = (3.14 × 4) + (2 × 4)

P = 12.56 + 8

P= 20.56

Perimeter of this figure

P = r + c

P = 36 + 20.56

P = 56.56

Suppose a local vendor charges $2 per hot dog and that the number of hot dogs sold per hour is given by , where is the number of hours since 10 AM, .

Complete Question:

Suppose a local vendor charges $2 per hot dog and that the number of hot dogs sold per hour is given by [tex]x(t) = -4t^2 + 20t + 60[/tex], where is the number of hours since 10 AM:

a) Find an expression for the revenue per hour as a function of x, R(x)

b) Find and simplify, R(x(t))

Answer:

a) R(x) = 2x

b) [tex]R(x(t)) = -8t^2 + 40t + 120[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

a) This is a very trivial exercise.

[tex]x(t) = -4t^2 + 20t + 60[/tex]

The number of hot dogs sold per hour is given by x

Charge per hot dog = $2

An expression of revenue per hour,R, as a function of the number of hot dogs sold per hour, x, is therefore: R(x) = 2x

b) [tex]x(t) = -4t^2 + 20t + 60[/tex]

R(x(t)) = 2(x(t))

[tex]R(x(t)) = 2(-4t^2 + 20t + 60)\\R(x(t)) = -8t^2 + 40t + 120[/tex]

Rectangle ABCD has vertices A(–6, –2), B(–3, –2), C(–3. –6), and D(–6, –6). The rectangle is translated so that the coordinates of the image are A’(–10, 1), B’(–7,1), C’(–7, –3), and D’(–10, –3). Which rule was used to translate the image? T–4, 3(x, y) T–4, 1(x, y) T4, –1(x, y) T4, –3(x, y)'

Answers

Answer:

T₋₄, ₃ (x, y)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of rectangle ABCD are;

A = (-6, -2)

B = (-3, -2)

C = (-3, -6)

D = (-6, -6)

The coordinates of the image are;

A' = (-10, 1)

B' = (-7, 1)

C' = (-7, -3)

D' = (-10, -3)

We note that for A and A', x - x' = -6 + 10 = 4 and y - y' = -2 - 1 = -3

For B and B', x - x' = -3 + 7 = 4 and y - y' = -2 - 1 = -3

For C and C', x - x' = -3 + 7 = 4 and y - y' = -6 + 3 = -3

For D and D', x - x' = -6 + 10 = 4 and y - y' = -6 + 3 = -3

Therefore, the transformation rule used to translate the image of rectangle ABCD is T₋₄, ₃ (x, y)
