3. Find the measure of angle A.

The candy store owner should use 37.5 pounds of the candy costing $1.25 a pound.

Given:

To find: The amount of candy costing $1.25 a pound that should be mixed

Let us assume that the resulting mixture should be made by mixing 'x' pounds of candy costing $1.25 a pound.

Since the total weight of the resulting mixture should be 50 pounds, 'x' pounds of candy costing $1.25 a pound should be mixed with '[tex]50-x[/tex]' pounds of candy costing $1.45 a pound.

Then, the resulting mixture contains 'x' pounds of candy costing $1.25 a pound and '[tex]50-x[/tex]' pounds of candy costing $1.45 a pound.

Accordingly, the total cost of the resulting mixture is [tex]1.25x+1.45(50-x)[/tex]

However, the resulting mixture should be 50 pounds and should cost $1.30 a pound. Accordingly, the total cost of the resulting mixture is [tex]1.30 \times 50[/tex]

Equating the total cost of the resulting mixture obtained in two ways, we get,

[tex]1.25x+1.45(50-x)=1.30 \times 50[/tex]

[tex]1.25x+72.5-1.45x=65[/tex]

[tex]0.2x=7.5[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{7.5}{0.2}[/tex]

[tex]x=37.5[/tex]

This implies that the resulting mixture should be made by mixing 37.5 pounds of candy costing $1.25 a pound.

Answer:

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

since the angles seem similar they're most likely to be the same but since its 3x and you have to find the value of x then we will do 3 x ?=30, which is 10. if you want to check there is one way, since the angle on a straight line is 180 you can do 180 - 30 =150 which will be the unknown value next to the given angle. Since the unknown angle is on the line with the 150 degree angle we can do 180 - 50 to get the unknown angle (3x) which is 30. So in conclusion x will be 10

Answer: x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles are voa which means vertically opposite angles which means they are conguerent and also equal

ATQ

⇒3x = 30

⇒x = 30/3

⇒x = 10

Therefore x = 10 degrees

Answer:

A = 120, P = 55

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle

Area = (bh)/2

A = (20x12)/2

A =240/2

A = 120

Perimeter = a + b + c

to find c, use a^2 +b^2 = c^2

20^2 + 12^2 = c^2

400 + 144 = c^2

544 = c^2

c = about 23

20 + 12 + 23 = 55

Answer:

The surface area of the cube is 648.96 sq in.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is made a lot easier by the fact that it's a cube.

So we first calculate the area of one of the faces. The length of the side of the side is 10.4 inches, and 10.4 * 10.4 = 100.16.

There are six faces, so we multiply the area of 1 face by 6. 100.16 * 6 = 648.96.

Therefore, the surface area of the cube is 648.96 sq inches.

Answer:

[tex]x=11[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that ∠DCB is the sum of ∠HCB and ∠DCH. Hence:

[tex]m\angle DCB = m\angle HCB + m\angle DCH[/tex]

Substitute in the appropriate values/expressions:

[tex](9x-1) = (60) + (2x+16)[/tex]

Solve for x. Combine like terms:

[tex]9x - 1 = 2x + 76[/tex]

Subtract 2x from both sides:

[tex]7x - 1 = 76[/tex]

Add one to both sides:

[tex]7x = 77[/tex]

And divide. Hence:

[tex]x=11[/tex]

Answer:

x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

<DCB = <DCH + < HCB

9x-1 = 2x+16 + 60

Combine like terms

9x-1 = 2x+76

Subtract 2x from each side

9x-1-2x= 2x+76-2x

7x-1 = 76

Add 1 to each side

7x-1 +1 = 76+1

7x = 77

Divide by 7

7x/7 = 77/7

x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the typist claim, we build an hypothesis test, find the test statistic and the p-value relative to this test statistic, reaching a conclusion that:

The p-value of the test is 0.1333 > 0.05, which means that there is not enough evidence to reject the typist's claim.

-------------------------------------------------------------

In an interview for a secretary position at the dealer, a typist claims a tying speed of 45 words per minute.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the mean is of at least 45, that is:

[tex]H_0: \mu \geq 45[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the mean is of less than 45, that is:

[tex]H_1: \mu < 45[/tex]

-------------------------------------------------------------

The test statistic is:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so the t-distribution is used to solve this question

[tex]t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which X is the sample mean, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, s is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

-------------------------------------------------------------

45 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that [tex]\mu = 45[/tex]

On the basis of 70 trials, she demonstrated an average speed of 43 words per minute with a standard deviation of 15 words per minute.

This means that [tex]n = 70, X = 43, s = 15[/tex]

Value of the test statistic:

[tex]t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{43 - 45}{\frac{15}{\sqrt{70}}}[/tex]

[tex]t = -1.12[/tex]

-------------------------------------------------------------

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is found using a left-tailed test(test if the mean is less than a value), with 70 - 1 = 69 degrees of freedom and t = -1.12.

Using a t-distribution calculator, the p-value is of 0.1333.

The p-value of the test is 0.1333 > 0.05, which means that there is not enough evidence to reject the typist's claim.

Answer: 77 suits

Step-by-step explanation:

Let sales of this month = x

Sales for last 4 months = 92, 28, 83, 75

Average = Sum of Observation ÷ No of Observation

Now, we can form an equation

(92+28 +83+75+x) ÷ 5 =71

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation 4(x - 8) + 10 = -10 and are asked to find the solution, solution meaning to get x alone.

To do so, first distribute the 4 on the outside of the parenthesis to both values on the inside of the parenthesis :

4(x - 8)

(4 * x - 4 * 8)

4x - 32

4x - 32 + 10 = -10

Now combine like terms :

4x - 22 = -10

Now it's time to get x alone, first get rid of -22 by adding 22 to both sides :

4x = 12

Now get x alone by dividing both sides by 4 :

x = 3

-32 + 10 = -22

b = 1

Check: -32 + 10(1) = -22

= -22

Answer:

b=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

We would like to solve for b in the equation -32+10b=-22.

When we want to solve for a variable, we want to isolate it on one side (have it on one side by itself. No other numbers.)  

So to start, add 32 to both sides to remove it from the left side (-32+32=0).

-32+10b=-22

+32         +32

______________

10b=10

Now, there isn't anything with 10b, but we want the value of b by itself (1b), as 10b is 10 times the value of what b is.

So divide both sides by 10

b=1

Lisa should start swimming at an angle of [tex]120^{\circ}[/tex] to reach her destination as quickly as possible.

Given:

To find: The course (in degrees) at which she should start swimming so that she can reach the end point as quickly as possible

To solve this problem, we need to know the following:

Let us assume that Lisa starts swimming at a course such that she needs to swim for 'x' miles to reach the opposite shore, as shown in the figure.

Labelling the points in the figure, we can say that,

AB = 1 mile (given)

BD = 1 mile (given)

AC = x miles (by our assumption)

It is clear that ABC forms a right angled triangle where,

Perpendicular: BC

Base: AB

Hypotenuse: AC

Using Pythagoras Theorem for triangle ABC, we have,

[tex](Hypotenuse)^{2} =(Perpendicular)^{2} +(Base)^{2}[/tex], which implies,

[tex](AC)^{2} =(BC)^{2} +(AB)^{2}[/tex]

Put AC = x, AB = 1 in the above equation to get,

[tex]x^{2} =(BC)^{2} +1^{2}[/tex]

[tex]x^{2} =(BC)^{2} +1[/tex]

[tex](BC)^{2}=x^{2} -1[/tex]

[tex]BC=\sqrt{x^{2} -1}[/tex]

From the figure, we can say that,

[tex]CD=BD-BC[/tex]

Put [tex]BC=\sqrt{x^{2} -1}[/tex] and [tex]BD=1[/tex] in the above equation to get,

[tex]CD=1-\sqrt{x^{2} -1}[/tex]

According to our assumption, Lisa swims the distance of AC and walks the distance of CD, that is, she swims a distance of [tex]x[/tex] miles and walks a distance of [tex]1-\sqrt{x^{2} -1}[/tex] miles.

Now, let us assume that Lisa's speed of swimming is [tex]k[/tex] miles/hour. It is given that Lisa's speed of walking is twice that of her speed of swimming. Then, accordingly, Lisa's speed of walking must be [tex]2k[/tex] miles/hour. We note that these speeds are constants for Lisa.

We know that,

[tex]Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]

Then,

[tex]Time=\frac{Distance}{Speed}[/tex]

This implies that,

Time spent by Lisa on swimming = [tex]\frac{x}{k}[/tex]

Similarly, time spent by Lisa on walking = [tex]\frac{1-\sqrt{x^{2} -1} }{2k}[/tex]

Then, total time taken by Lisa to travel the whole distance from the starting point to the end point is,

[tex]\frac{1-\sqrt{x^{2} -1} }{2k} +\frac{x}{k}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2k}( 1-\sqrt{x^{2} -1} +2x )[/tex]

Since Lisa wishes to get to the end point as quickly as possible, we must minimize the total time taken by her to travel the entire distance.

Total time taken: [tex]T=\frac{1}{2k}( 1-\sqrt{x^{2} -1} +2x )[/tex]

Differentiating with respect to 'x', we have,

[tex]T'=\frac{1}{2k}( -\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^{2} -1}} +2 )[/tex]

Differentiating with respect to 'x' again, we have,

[tex]T''=\frac{1}{2k(\sqrt{x^{2} -1})^{3}}[/tex]

Equating the first derivative to 0, we have,

[tex]\frac{1}{2k}( -\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^{2} -1}} +2 )=0[/tex]

[tex]-\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^{2} -1}} +2 =0[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^{2} -1}} =2[/tex]

[tex]2\sqrt{x^{2} -1}= x[/tex]

Squaring both sides,

[tex]4(x^{2} -1)= x^{2}[/tex]

[tex]4x^{2} -4= x^{2}[/tex]

[tex]3x^{2} =4[/tex]

[tex]x^{2} =\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}[/tex]

Note that we assumed the positive square root for 'x' because 'x' denotes a distance which cannot be negative.

Put [tex]x=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}[/tex] in the expression for second derivative to get,

[tex]T''=\frac{1}{2k(\sqrt{(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} )^{2} -1})^{3}}[/tex]

[tex]T''=\frac{1}{2k(\sqrt{\frac{4}{3} -1})^{3}}[/tex]

[tex]T''=\frac{1}{2k(\sqrt{\frac{1}{3}})^{3}}>0[/tex]

The last expression is positive because 'k' denotes a speed which is always positive.

This implies that the obtained value [tex]x=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}[/tex] minimizes the quantity of total time taken.

Now, from the figure, we can say that,

[tex]cos(\angle BAC)=\frac{AB}{AC}[/tex]

Put AC = x, AB = 1 in the above equation to get,

[tex]cos(\angle BAC)=\frac{1}{x}[/tex]

Put the obtained minimizing value, [tex]x=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}[/tex] in the above equation to get,

[tex]cos(\angle BAC)=\frac{1}{\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} }[/tex]

[tex]cos(\angle BAC)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2 }[/tex]

[tex]cos(\angle BAC)=cos(30^{\circ})[/tex]

Then,

[tex]\angle BAC=30^{\circ}[/tex]

Since the angle is measured from the north, the required angle is, [tex]90^{\circ}+30^{\circ}=120^{\circ}[/tex]

Thus, Lisa should start swimming at an angle of [tex]120^{\circ}[/tex] to reach her destination as quickly as possible.
