Which choice is the most efficient first step to solve this set of equations?

Answer:

The initial value is 1500

growth

43 % growth

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential equations are in the form

y = a * b^x

a is the initial value

b is the growth or decay

b>1 is growth b-1 rate  of growth

b <1 decay  1-b rate of decay

f(x) = 1500 * 1.43 ^x

The initial value is 1500

1.43 > 1 so it is growth

1- 1.43 = .43

Answer:

-7 and -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of the function f(x) = (x + 4)⁶ (x + 7)⁵ cross the X axis at x = -4 and x = -7.

A function is a relation from a set A to a set B where the elements in set A only maps to one and only one image in set B. No elements in set A has more than one image in set B.

Given is a function,

f(x) = (x + 4)⁶ (x + 7)⁵

When the function cross the X axis, the value of the function will be 0.

Let f(x) = 0

(x + 4)⁶ (x + 7)⁵ = 0

This implies that, either x + 4 = 0 or x + 7 = 0

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = -4

x + 7 = 0 ⇒ x = -7

Hence the roots are -4 and -7 where the function crosses the X axis.

Answer:

The absolute value function that models the path of the ball is

[tex]f(x) = \left | -\frac{3}{4}\cdot x + 15 \right |[/tex]

The coordinates when the ball passes within 3 meters of the wall is [tex]\left (3, 12\tfrac{3}{4} \right )[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the ball rolls without other external influences, we have;

(y - 0) = (x - 15)

The slope, m is give by the relation;

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

m = (15 - 0)/(0-20) = -3/4

The equation of the path of the ball in slope and intercept form is presented as follows;

y = m·x + c

15 = -3/4 ×0 + c = 15

c = 15

The absolute value function that models the path of the ball is then;

[tex]f(x) = \left | -\frac{3}{4}\cdot x + 15 \right |[/tex]

The vale of the function when x = 3 is given by the relation

[tex]f(x) = \left | -\dfrac{3}{4}\times 3 + 15 \right | = \dfrac{51}{4}[/tex]

Therefore, we have the coordinates as  [tex]\left (3, 12\tfrac{3}{4} \right )[/tex].

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval (6.9, 8.2) they obtained means that "We are 95% confident that the population mean duration is between 6.9 and 8.2 days".

Option B from the complete Question.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval for the population mean is basically an interval of range of values where the true population mean can be found with a certain level of confidence.

Mathematically,

Confidence Interval = (Sample mean) ± (Margin of error)

Margin of Error is the width of the confidence interval about the mean.

It is given mathematically as,

Margin of Error = (Critical value) × (standard Error of the mean)

Critical value will be obtained using the t-distribution if there is no information provided for the population standard deviation and it is obtained from the z-tables if the population standard deviation is known or the sample size is large enough that the sample properties can be approximated to be the same as the population properties.

Standard error of the mean = σₓ = (σ/√n)

σ = standard deviation of the sample

n = sample size

Confidence Interval = (Sample mean) ± [(Critical value) × (standard Error of the mean)]

So, the confidence interval (6.9, 8.2) obtained in the question means that "We are 95% confident that the population mean duration is between 6.9 and 8.2 days".

Answer:

16.59

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

[tex](ax+b)(bx+a)=26x^2+\Box\cdot x+26[/tex]

Expanding the left hand side, we have:

[tex](ax+b)(bx+a)=abx^2+a^2x+b^2x+ab\\=abx^2+(a^2+b^2)x+ab\\=26x^2+\Box\cdot x+26\\ab=26 \implies b=\frac{26}{a}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]a^2+b^2=a^2+\dfrac{26}{a} =\dfrac{a^3+26}{a}[/tex]

To find the minimum value, we take the derivative and solve for its critical point.

[tex]\frac{d}{da} (\frac{a^3+26}{a})=\frac{2a^3-26}{a^2}\\$Setting the derivative equal to zero, we have:\\2a^3-26=0\\2a^3=26\\a^3=13\\a=\sqrt[3]{13}[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]\Box=a^2+b^2=\dfrac{(\sqrt[3]{13}) ^3+26}{\sqrt[3]{13}}\\=\dfrac{13+26}{\sqrt[3]{13}}\\\\\Box=16.59[/tex]

The minimum possible value of the coefficient of x is 16.59.

Answer:

173

Step-by-step explanation:

For sympliciy let the box equal y.

Expanding the left side we get (a*x+b)(b*x+a) = (a*b*(x)^2 + (a^2 + b^2)x + a*b). Hence we have that  (a*b*(x)^2 + (a^2 + b^2)x + a*b) = 26*(x)^2 + x*y + 26. Scince the coefficients of like terms in our equation must be equal, ab=26. Hence (a,b) = (1,26),(26,1),(-1,-26),(-26,-1),(2,13),(13,2),(-2,-13),(-13,-2). Since a^2 + b^2 = y we can see that the only 2 values of y are 677 and 173 (by simply plug in the values of (a,b)), taking the smaller of the two our answer is [173].

Answer:

Los números son 6 y 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Este problema se puede resolver por medio de un sistema de ecuaciones.

El primer número será x y el segundo número será y.

Sabemos que los dos números suman 15, por lo tanto esto se puede escribir como:

[tex]x+y=15[/tex]

Por otro lado sabemos que el doble de uno de ellos es igual al otro más 3 unidades, esto lo podemos escribir de la siguiente manera:

[tex]2x=y+3[/tex] (el doble del primero es igual al segundo más 3)

Reescribiendo esta segunda ecuación tenemos:

[tex]2x-y=3[/tex]

Por lo tanto, nuestras dos ecuaciones son:

[tex]x+y=15\\2x-y=3[/tex]

Resolviendo el sistema por el método de reducción observamos que, si sumamos ambas ecuaciones, las y se cancelan y quedamos con:

[tex]3x=18\\x=6[/tex]

Ahora, sustituimos este valor en la primera ecuación para obtener el valor de y:

[tex]x+y=15\\6+y=15\\y=15-6\\y=9[/tex]

Por lo tanto, los números son 6 y 9

Por medio de un sistema de ecuaciones, hay qué los números son 6 y 9.

Los números sumados den 15, o sea:

[tex]x + y = 15[/tex]

El doble de uno de ellos sea igual al otro más 3 unidades, o sea:

[tex]2x = y + 3[/tex]

[tex]y = 2x - 3[/tex]

Reemplazando en la primera ecuación:

[tex]x + y = 15[/tex]

[tex]x + 2x - 3 = 15[/tex]

[tex]3x = 18[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{18}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x = 6[/tex]

[tex]y = 2x - 3 = 2(6) - 3 = 12 - 3 = 9[/tex]

Los números son 6 y 9.

PLATO

Answer: 6 or 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Let the number of green pens = x

Number of red pens = x + 3

Probability of picking same color = 17/35

Taking two pens at random; probability of picking two pens of same color.

Probability of picking red on first pick then red on second pick ; or picking blue on first pick then blue on second pick

Probability = (Required outcome / Total possible outcomes)

Total number of pens = x + x + 3 = 2x + 3

Probability of picking red then red:

P(red first) = (x+3)/2x+3

P(red second) = x+3-1 / 2x+3-1 = (x+2)/2x+2)

Therefore, probability of red then red =

(x+3)/(2x+3) × (x+2)/2x+2)

= (x+3)(x+2) / (2x+3)(2x+2)

Probability of green then green:

P(first green) = x/(2x+3)

P(second green) = (x-1) / (2x+3-1) = (x-1) / (2x+2)

P(green then green) = x(x-1)/(2x+3)(2x+2)

Therefore,

[(x+3)(x+2) / (2x+3)(2x+2)] + [x(x-1)/(2x+3)(2x+2)] = 17/35

(x+3)(x+2)+x(x-1) / (2x+3)(2x+2) = 17/35

Cross multiply :

35(x+3)(x+2)+x(x-1) = 17(2x+3)(2x+2)

35(2x^2 + 4x + 6) = 17(4x^2 + 10x + 6)

70x^2 + 140x + 210 = 68x^2 + 170x + 102

70x^2 - 68x^2 + 140x - 170x + 210 - 102 = 0

2x^2 - 30x + 108 = 0

Now we have a quadratic equation which can be factoeized used using any known factorization method.

Factorizing this, we get

(x-6) = 0 or (x-9) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Descending order is where the monomials of a polynomial are arranged in decreasing exponent order so the answer is A.

Answer:

the answer is option a because all the expression in option a is written descending power form.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

We have two lines: y = 2 - x and y = 4x + 3 . Given two equations that are both required to be true. The answer is the points where the lines cross, this means we have to make the equations equal to each other. It will look like this:

                                                       2 - x = 4x + 3

Part B:

In order to solve the equation we need to put the like terms together. So we will add x on each side.

                                                       2 - x = 4x + 3

                                                           +x   +x

So now we get:

                                                           2 = 5x + 3

Now that x is on one side and is positive we will move 3 on the left side by subtracting it from each side.

                                                           2 = 5x + 3

                                                           -3         -3

So now we get:

                                                           -1 = 5x

Now that the like terms have been combined we need to find out what x alone is so we divide 5 on each side:

                                                           [tex]\frac{-1}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5x}{5}[/tex]

No we see that:

                                                           x = [tex]-\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Let's say the original packaging was 1 lb of packaging for $1.

The cost was $1/lb.

Then the weight went down by 10% and the price went up by 15%.

Now 0.9 lb of packaging cost $1.15.

The new unit cost is $1.15/(0.9 lb)

The difference is

$1.15/(0.9 lb) - $1/lb =

= $1.15/(0.9 lb) - $0.9/(0.9 lb)

Answer: 58

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the two digit number is 13. On reversing its digits the new number is 27 more than the original number find the number?

Let's set up a system with two variables: x = tens place of our answer, y = units place of our answer.

Digit sum of a two digit number is 6:

x+y=13

Reverse the digits and you get 27 more than the original value:

10y+x=10x+y+27

Now let's solve:

y=13-x

10(13-x)+x=10x+(13-x)+27

130-10x+x=130x-10x + 27

130-9x=9x+40

-90=18x

x=5

y=13-5

y=8

So our original number was 58. Sum of digits is 13. Swap the order of the digits to make 85, and you have a number 27 more than the original number.

The value of original number is, 58.

Mathematical expression is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Given that;

The sum of digits in two-digit number is 13.

And, If the place values of the digits are reversed, the new number is 27 more than the original number.

Now, Let the one's place digit is y and the ten's place is x of the original number.

Then, We get;

⇒ x + y = 13  .. (i)

And, If the place values of the digits are reversed, the new number is 27 more than the original number.

So, We get;

⇒ 10y + x = 27 + 10x + y

⇒ 10y - y + x - 10x = 27

⇒ 9y - 9x = 27

⇒ y - x = 3

⇒ y = x + 3   ... (ii)

Substitute the value of y from (ii) in (i), we get;

⇒ x + y = 13

⇒ x + x + 3 = 13

⇒ 2x = 13 - 3

⇒ 2x= 10

⇒ x = 5

And, From (ii);

⇒ y = x + 3  

⇒ y = 5 + 3

⇒ y = 8

Thus, The original number is,

⇒ 10x + y = 10 × 5 + 8

               = 50 + 8

               = 58
