Pieter wrote and solved an equation that models the number of hours it takes to dig a well to a level of 72 feet below sea level.

7h – 5(3h – 8) = –72
Which statement is true about Pieter’s solution?

1. It cannot be a fraction or decimal because the depth of the well is a whole number.

2. It must be a positive number since it represents a number of hours.

3. It must be a negative number because the depth is below sea level.

4.It cannot be greater than –72 because that is the depth of the well.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Is this the entire question? Some of it makes no sense without a diagram or something.

To get rid of A you actually have to solve the equation.

7h – 5(3h – 8) = –72        Remove the brackets

7h - 15h + 40 = - 72          Combine the like terms

- 8h + 40 = - 72                Subtract 40 from both sides

- 8h = -112                        Divide by -8

    h = 14

Well the depth is a whole number so A is true.

We don't know anything about time. But the answer is positive.

C is false because B is true.

We don't know exactly what the depth of the well is.

I would pick A, but you need the entire question.

13. Solve to find the vertex if :
3x2 – 19x - 5

Answers

Answer:

 A) y = 3(x -3)^2 -46

 B) (3, -46)

 C) look at the y-coordinate of the vertex

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Factor the leading coefficient from the variable terms.

 y = 3(x^2 -6x) -19

Inside parentheses, add the square of half the x-coefficient. Outside, subtract the same value.

 y = 3(x^2 -6x +9) -19 -3(9)

 y = 3(x -3)^2 -46

__

B) Compared to the vertex form, ...

 y = a(x -h)^2 +k

we find a=3, (h, k) = (3, -46).

The vertex is (3, -46).

__

C) The vertex is an extreme value (as is any vertex). The sign of the leading coefficient tells you whether the parabola opens upward (+) or downward (-). This parabola opens upward, so the vertex is a minimum.

If the leading coefficient is positive, the y-coordinate of the vertex is a minimum. If the leading coefficient is negative, the y-coordinate of the vertex is a maximum.

Billy invests $5,000 in an account at 4.2% for 15 years, compounded monthly. Assuming no other deposits or withdrawals are made, how much will Billy have at the end of 15 years?

Answers

5,008 and you can find it on nerd wallet

The amount Billy has at the end of the 15 years is $9,377.73.

What is compound interest?

It is the interest we earned on the interest.

The formula for the amount earned with compound interest after n years is given as:

A = P[tex](1 + r/n)^{nt}[/tex]

P = principal

r = rate

t = time in years

n = number of times compounded in a year.

We have,

P = $5000

r = 4.2%

t = 15 years

n = 12

A = P[tex](1 + r/n)^{nt}[/tex]

A = 5000 [tex](1 + 0.0035)^{180}[/tex]

A = 5000 x [tex]1.0035^{180}[/tex]

A = $9,377.73

Thus,

Billy has $9,377.73 at the end of the 15 years.

The dean of a business college in the Midwest claims that he can correctly identify whether a student is a finance major or a music industry management major by the way the student dresses. Suppose in actuality that he can correctly identify finance majors 84% of the time, while 16% of the time he mistakenly identifies a music industry management major as a finance major. Presented with one student and asked to identify the major of this student (who is either a finance or music industry management major), the dean considers this to be a hypothesis test with the null hypothesis being that the student is a finance major and the alternative that the student is a music industry management major. Which of the following statements illustrates a Type I error?

a. Saying that the student is a finance major when in fact the student is a music industry management major.
b. Saying that the student is a music industry management major when in fact the student is a music industry management major.
c. Saying that the student is a finance major when in fact the student is a finance major.
d. Saying that the student is a music industry management major when in fact the student is a finance major.

Answers

Using error concepts, it is found that the option that represents a Type I error is:

d. Saying that the student is a music industry management major when in fact the student is a finance major.

The definitions of each type of error are as follows:

A Type I error happens when a true null hypothesis is rejected. A Type II error happens when a false null hypothesis is not-rejected.

In this problem, the Hypothesis are:

Null: Student is a finance major.Alternative: Student is a music industry management major.

By the definition of a Type I error, in this problem, it would consist in saying that a finance major student is a music industry management major student, hence option d is correct.

the price of an article is Marked 25% above the cost price .if it is solid the profit of Rs.500 after allowing 15% discount .what will be it's selling price​

Answers

Answer:

  Rs 8500

Step-by-step explanation:

For a cost price of c, the marked price is ...

  marked = c +25%·c = 1.25c

After the 15% discount, the sale price will be ...

  s = marked -15%·marked = 0.85·marked = (0.85)(1.25c) = 1.0625c

The profit will be the difference between the sale price s and the cost c:

  p = s -c

  500 = (1.0625c) -c = 0.0625c

Then the cost is ...

  500/0.0625 = c = 8000

and the sale price is ...

  s = c +p = 8000 +500 = 8500 . . . rupees

The selling price will be Rs 8500.

a prisms base has a perimeter of 12cm and a height of 2 cm. the area of the base was 5cm. what is the surface area of the prism.

Answers

Answer:  34 square cm

==============================================================

Explanation:

For any prism, there are two congruent bases opposite one another. In other words, the bases are identical polygons with the same area. Each base is 5 square cm. So far, that accounts for 5+5 = 10 square cm of surface area. Let A = 10 as we'll use it later.

The perimeter is 12 cm and the height is 2 cm. It turns out that the lateral surface area is found by multiplying the two items. This is because the perimeter is made up of the lengths of the sides of the base, which when multiplied by the height, will give the area of each rectangular side panel.

So the lateral surface area is 12*2 = 24 sq cm. Let B = 24.

Overall, the total surface area is A+B = 10+24 = 34 square cm
