Answer:
x = 9 (first odd number)
x + 2 = 11 (second odd number)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x =first odd number
x + 2=second odd number
given:
1/x - 1/(x + 2) = 2/99
Find the LCM
(x+2)-x / x(x+2)=2/99
x+2-x / x(x+2)=2/99
common denominator x( x + 2)
2 / x(x + 2) = 2/99
Take the reciprocal of both sides
1/2x(x + 2) = 99/2
multiply both by 2
x(x +2) = 99
Expand the left side
x^2 + 2x = 99
add 1 to both sides
x^2 + 2x + 1 = 100
express the left side as a square
(x + 1)^2 = 100
Square root of both sides
x + 1 = 10 or x + 1 = -10
taking the positive root only
x = 9 (first odd number)
x + 2 = 11 (second odd number)
check:
1/9 - 1/11 = 2/99
11/99 - 9/99 = 2/99
2/99 = 2/99
A skateboard ramp has a slope of 5/6. What is the measure of the angle the ramp forms with the ground to the nearest degree
Answer:
39.8°
Step-by-step explanation:
We know slope is rise over run. That would mean our right triangle would have a horizontal leg of 6 and a vertical leg of 5. From there we use tan∅ to help solve ∅:
tan∅ = 5/6
∅ = tan⁻¹(5/6)
∅ = 39.8056

Is [tex]\frac{\pi }{2}[/tex] irrational or rational, include explanation
It would be irrational.
Reasoning:
A rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction of two integers provided that the denominator is not zero.
π is an irrational number because its approxiamation is [tex]\frac{22}{7}[/tex] is not the exact value of π. Additionally, we know that the quotient of irrational numbers can be rational or irrational. Here is the case where we have [tex]\frac{\pi }{2}[/tex], an irrational number divided by a rational number giving a quotient that is irrational.
Answer: irrational
Step-by-step explanation:
Apart from multiplying by 0 or dividing by pi, nothing can make pi rational. pi/2 is the same thing as 1/2pi, which is irrational, because it cannot be simplified into a repeating or terminating decimal

Step-by-step explanation:
A jar consists of blue, red and green marbles. The probability of each of them is 2/7 , 3/k and 5/2k. Find the value of k.
Answer:
k = 77/10
Step-by-step explanation:
The jar consist of blue, red and green marbles . The probability of each of them can be described as follows.
probability of blue marbles = 2/7
probability of red marbles = 3/k
probability of green marbles = 5/2k
The sum of the individual probability is equals to 1. Therefore,
2/7 + 3/k + 5/2k = 1
collect like terms
(6 + 5)/2k = 1 - 2/7
11/2k =(7 - 2) /7
11/2k = 5/7
cross multiply
10k = 77
divide both sides by 10
k = 77/10

The nth term of a sequence is n(n - 1).
What are the first four terms?
What is the 50th term?
Is 59 a term in the sequence?
Which term is 182?
The ______ th term
Answer:
T1=0
T2=2
T3=6
T4=12
T50=2450
59 is not a term in the sequence
Step-by-step explanation:
Tn=n(n-1)
182=n2 - n
0=n2 - n - 182
0=n2-14n+13n-182
0=n(n-14)+13(n-14)
0=(n-14) (n+13)
Since n cannot be negative n is not equal to -13
Therefore,
n=14

Use the rational zero theorem, which of the following could not be a rational zero of: 6x^5+ax^3=bx+12? 1/2 -3/4 -2
Answer: x = -3/4 can not be a rational zero of the polynomial.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the polynomial:
6x^5 + ax^3 -bx -12 = 0.
The theorem says that:
If P(x) is a polynomial with integer coefficients, and p/q is a zero of P(x) then p is a factor of the constant term (in this case the constant term is -12) and q is a factor of the leading coefficient (in this case the leading coefficient is 6.).
The factors of -12 (different than itself) are (independent of the sign).
1, 2, 3, 4 and 6.
So p can be: 1, -1, 2, -2, 3, -3, 4, -4, 6, -6.
The factors of 6 are:
1, 2 and 3, so q can be 1, -1, 2, -2, 3, -3.
Then the option that can not be a zero of the polynomial is
x = -3/4
because the number in the denominator must be a factor of the leading coefficient, and 4 is not a factor of six.
Diana serves 8 kg of fried rice for 12 persons. How many persons can eat 20 kg of
fried rice?
Answer:
30 persons
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's create a proportion using the following setup:
persons/rice=persons/rice
We know that 12 persons can eat 8 kilograms of fried rice.
12 persons/ 8 kg of rice= persons/rice
We also know that x (unknown) persons can eat 20 kilograms of fried rice.
12 persons/ 8 kg of rice= x persons/ 20 kg of rice
12/8=x/20
x is being divided by 20. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides of the equation by 20.
20(12/8)=(x/20)20
20*12/8=x
20*1.5=x
30=x
30 persons can eat 20 kilograms of fried rice.
Answer:
30 people
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Set up a proportion, 8kg/12 = 20kg/x
2) Do cross multiplication to solve for x
3) x = 30 people
Two fair dice are rolled 3 times and the sums of the numbers that come up is recorded. Find the probability of these events. A) the sum 10 on each of the three rolls? B) the sum is 10 exactly twice in three rolls?
Answer:
A) P(10 on three rolls) = 1/1728 = 0.0005787
B) P(10 in two of three rolls) = 11/1728 = 0.0063657
Step-by-step explanation:
Each die has 6 possible values, so a pair of dice have a total of 6*6=36 outcomes.
To find a sum of 10, the cases are:
(4,6), (5,5) and (6,4).
So to have a sum of 10 we have 3 cases among the 36 possible, therefore the probability is:
P(10) = 3/36 = 1/12
A)
If we want the sum of 10 in each of the three rolls, the probability is:
P(10 on three rolls) = P(10)^3 = (1/12)^3 = 1/1728 = 0.0005787
B)
If the sum is 10 in two of three rolls, in one roll we need the probability of the sum not being 10:
P(not 10) = 1 - P(10) = 1 - (1/12) = 11/12
So we have:
P(10 in two of three rolls) = P(10)^2 * P(not 10) = (1/12)^2 * (11/12)
P(10 in two of three rolls) = 11/1728 = 0.0063657

What is the appropriate symbol? 1.42 _____ 1.420 = < >
Answer:
=
Step-by-step explanation:
1.42 is equal to 1.420. The 0 adds no value since it is after the decimal point so 1.420 is just 1.42, which is equal to itself, 1.42.
Answer:
=
Step-by-step explanation:
When you are looking at decimals, specifically on the right side of the decimal point, the amount of 0's after the last given non-0 digit can be disregarded.
1.420 is the same as 1.42
With this given information:
1.42 ____ 1.420
1.42 ____ 1.42
1.42 = 1.42
= would be your sign.

This is a cross-sectional view of candy bar ABC. A candy company wants to create a cylindrical container for candy bar ABC so that it is circumscribed about the candy bar. If segment AD = 4 cm, what is the smallest diameter of wrapper that will fit the candy bar? Triangle ABC in which point E is between points A and B, point D is between points A and C, point F is between points B and C, segments AE and EB are congruent, segments BF and FC are congruent, and angles AED, ABF, and DFC are right angles.
Answer:
8 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
When a right triangle is circumscribed in a circle, the diameter is the hypotenuse AC.
Therefore, the smallest diameter of the wrapper will be that of the circle whose diameter has endpoints of A and C.
From the diagram:
AE=DFED=FCTherefore, Triangle AED is congruent to Triangle DFC and in fact AD=DC.
Given: AD =4 cm
Therefore, the smallest diameter
AC=AD+DC
=4+4
=8 cm
The volume of a cone with a height of 6 cm is 8 pi cubic centimeters. Which expression can be used to find r, the radius of the base of the cone? 6 = one-third pi (r squared) (8 pi) 8 pi = one-third pi (r) (6 squared) 6 = one-third (pi r)(8 pi) 8 pi = one-third pi (r squared) (6)
Answer:
last option is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Mathematically, we can write the volume of a cone as;
V = 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h
From the question, V is 8 pi cm^3 while h is 6cm
Thus, substituting these values into the equation, we have;
8pi = 1/3 * pi * r^2 * 6
The last option is the correct answer that tallies with the above

The probability that Paul wins a raffle is given by the expression n/n + 6 . What is the expression, in the form of a combined single fraction, for the probability that Paul does not win.
Answer:
The probability that he doesn’t win is 6/(n + 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
Mathematically, the probability that an event occur is 1 minus the probability that the event doe not occur.
Thus, what we are saying here is that the sum of the probabilities that Paul wins the raffle draw and he doesn’t win the raffle draw is 1
This can be mathematically expressed as;
probability that he doesn’t win = 1 - probability that he wins
Thus we have;
1- n/(n+ 6)
= [(n+ 6) -(n)]/(n+6) = 6/n+ 6
The admission fee at an amusement park is $20 for children and $35 for adults. On a certain day, 390 people entered the park, and the admission fees collected totaled $10650. How many children and how many adults were admitted? NUMBER OF CHILDREN= ? NUMBER OF ADULTS= ?
Answer:
Children = 200
Adults = 190
Step-by-step explanation:
Children = x
Adults = y
x + y = 390
x = 390 - y..............(1)
20x + 35y = 10650
Substituting
20(390-y) + 35y = 10650
y = 190
x = 390 - 190 = 200
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of children = c
Number of adults = a
Total people = 390
a + c = 390 ------------------ (I)
Admission fee for 'c' children = 20 * c = 20c
Admission fee for 'a' adult = 35 * a = 35a
Total amount = $ 10650
35a + 20c = 10650 -------------(II)
Multiply equation (I) by (-20)
(I)*(-20) -20a - 20c = - 7800
(II) 35a + 20c = 10650 { Now add and so 'c' will be eliminated}
15a = 2850
a = 2850/15
a = 190
Plug in a = 190 in equation (I)
190 + c = 390
c = 390 - 190
c = 200
Number of children = 200
Number of adults = 190

You are getting on an elevator that is already filled with several people. You wonder if your weight will put the elevator over the maximum weight limit. You know that your weight is 132 pounds. In the equation below, p is the weight of all the people already on the elevator, and t is the total weight inside the elevator after you get on. The relationship between these two variables can be expressed by the following equation: t=p+132. What is the dependent variable?
A.The total weight inside the elevator after you get on.
B.The weight of all the people already on the elevator.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
T is the dependent variable
a dependent variable means it depends on something so if a number changes it will change the end result for T.
T is dependent on P since if the weight on the elevator changes the total weight will change. That is what makes it dependent.
Answer:
They are both dependent variables.

Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The inequality is x+2 > 2
x+2 >2 substract 2 from each side x+2-2 > 2-2x > 0x > 0 means that x is positive
so the graph must start from 0 and then should grow towrd the positive value
since we have x > 0 then 0 should be excluded
the graph that fits our solution is c where 0 is excluded
Kevin cuts lawns during the summer months. He charges $10 plus $5 per hour. The algebraic model is C = 5h + 10, where C represents the total cost and h represents the hours worked. Use pencil and paper to create a table of values for hours worked from 1 to 5, incrementing h by 1 in each row.
Answer:
1 hour : 15 dollars
2 hours: 20 dollars
3 hours: 25 dollars
4 hours: 30 dollars
5 hours: 35 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute the hour number in for h and solve. for example, if you were trying to find 5 hours, you would produce the equation c = 5(5) + 10. once you solve that you get c = 25 + 10 which is also c = 35.

Answer:
t =5
g = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
t = tennis balls
g = golf balls
70 = 5t+3g
85 = 2t+5g
Multiply the first equation by -2
-2(70 = 5t+3g)
-140 = -10t -6g
Multiply the second equation by 5
5(85 = 2t+5g)
425 = 10t + 25g
Add these new equation together to eliminate t
-140 = -10t -6g
425 = 10t + 25g
-------------------------------
285=0t+19g
Divide by 19
285/19 = g
15 = g
Now find t
85 = 2t+5g
85 = 2t +5(15)
85 = 2t + 75
10= 2t
t =5
Let the cost of a can of tennis balls be $x and that of a sleeve of golf balls be $y.
5x + 3y = 70
2x + 5y = 85
(5x + 3y) x 2 = 70 x 2
10x + 6y = 140
(2x + 5y) x 5 = 85 x 5
10x + 25y = 425
10x + 25y -10x - 6y = 425 - 140
19y = 285
y = 15
2x + 5y = 85
2x + 75 = 85
2x = 10
x = 5
Therefore the cost of a sleeve of golf balls is $15 and that of a can of tennis balls is $5.
On Friday, Mica has $22.50 in her bank account. Mica goes to the market to get groceries for the week and ends up spending more than planned. When Mica checks her account, she now has a balance of $-48.15. How much money did Mica spend at the market?
Answer: $70.65
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Mica has $22.50 in her bank account and then she goes to the market to get groceries for the week and ends up spending more than planned. She later checks her account and found out that she now has a balance of $-48.15.
To get the amount of money that Mica spent at the market, we subtract her balance from the opening balance she had in her bank account. This will be:
= $22.50 - (-$48.15)
= $22.50 + $48.15
= $70.65
Mics spent $70.65 at the market.
