(A) -2
(B) -1
(C) 0
(D) 1
(E) 2

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D) 1

Step-by-step explanation:

using the distributive property we have ax+a+bx-b-2=0. because the equation is true for all real x, ax=-bx. this means a-b-2=0 and a=-b. a-b-2=0 becomes a=b+2. then we substitute a for -b and get -b=b+2 which becomes 2b=-2 so b=-1. since a=-b, a=1

Suppose that 22 inches of wire costs 66 cents.
At the same rate, how much (in cents) will 17 inches of wire cost?
cents
Х
?

Answers

Answer:

51 cents for 17 inches of wire

Step-by-step explanation:

22 = 66

17 = x

22x = 66 * 17

22x = 1122

x = 51 cents

or

22 inches costs 66 cents

1 inch costs 3  cents (66 / 22 = 3  cents)

17 inches costs 51  cents (17 * 3 = 51 cents)

What is the value of x when y equals 66?

y=0.985897x+0.194185

Answers

Answer:

x = 66.74715005725

Step-by-step explanation:

First you bring over the added variable. 0.194185, and subtract it from 66. Then you divide your difference by 0.985897. This gives you 66.74715005725

I am smaller than 7 and I have two decimal places. I am 7 when rounded to the nearest whole number. The digit in the tenths places is an even number. The digit in the hundredths places is greatest 1 -digit odd number. None of my digits are repeated. What number am I ?​

Answers

Answer:

6.89

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, the number is smaller than 7 so it's 6 or less.

It's 7 when rounded up so it's got to be 6.__

The digit after 6 has to be even and has to be larger than 5 so it's either 6 or 8

The hundredths place digit is the greatest 1-digit odd number which is 9.

6.69 or 6.89 but since none of the digits can be repeated, it's 6.89

The statement that is most likely correct for the negatively skewed data distribution given is: B. The mean is less than the median.

What is a Negatively Skewed Data Distribution?

A negatively skewed data distribution has the tail to the left of the number line, and therefore its median is usually greater than its mean.

Negative skewed: Mean < Median < Mode

No skewed: Mean = Median = Mode

Positive skewed: Mean > Median > Mode

The dot plot shows a data distribution that is negatively skewed. Therefore, the statement that is most likely to be true is: B. The mean is less than the median.

In a health club, research shows that on average, patrons spend an average of 46.2 minutes
on the treadmill, with a standard deviation of 4.8 minutes. It is assumed that this is a normally
distributed variable. Find the probability that randomly selected individual would spent
between 30 and 40 minutes on the treadmill.

Answers

As the problem states, the variable has a normal distribution, and thus, concepts of this distribution are used to solve this question.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In a health club, research shows that on average, patrons spend an average of 46.2 minutes  on the treadmill, with a standard deviation of 4.8 minutes.

This means that [tex]\mu = 46.2, \sigma = 4.8[/tex]

Find the probability that randomly selected individual would spent  between 30 and 40 minutes on the treadmill.

This is the p-value of Z when X = 40 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 30.

X = 40

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{40 - 46.2}{4.8}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.29[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.29[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0985

X = 30

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{30 - 46.2}{4.8}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -3.38[/tex]

[tex]Z = -3.38[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0004.

0.0985 - 0.0004 = 0.0981

Thus, 0.0981 = 9.81% probability that randomly selected individual would spent  between 30 and 40 minutes on the treadmill.

A woman wishes to rent a house within 9 miles of her work. If she lives x miles from her work, her transportation cost will be cx dollars per year, while her rent will be 4c x 1 dollars per year, where c is a constant taking various situational factors into account. How far should she live from work to minimize her combined expenses for rent and transportation

Answers

Answer:

Combined cost C(x) = cx + 4c/(x+1)

minimum C(x) ==> C '(x) = 0

==> c - 4c/(x+1)2 = 0

==> 4c/(x+1)2 = c

==> (x+1)2 = 4

==> x +1 = 2

==> x = 1 mile

Hence she should live 1 mile from work to minimise comined costs.

Mrs. Funke has #40. At the market,she buys a dozen fillets of fish at 99k per dozen ,3stacks of vegetables at #1.25 each, 27 oranges at 7k each and 4.6kg of meat at #3.20 per kilogram

Answers

Funke has #18.65 LEFT, which was obtained by Subtracting her initial amount from amount spent.

SPENDING:

Total amount = #40

fish fillet = 99k /dozen

vegetable = 3 at #1.25 each

oranges = 27 at 7k each

meat = 4.6kg at #3.20 per kg

To obtain the amount Funke has left, we subtract the total amount of items she purchased from the total amount she has :

Total cost of :

Fish fillet, 1kg = 99K = #0.99

Vegetable, 3kg = 3 * 1.25 = #3.75

Oranges, 27 = 27 * 7 = #1.89

Meat, 4.6 = 4.6 * 3.20 = #14.72

TOTAL AMOUNT SPENT = (0.99 + 3.75 + 1.89 + 14.72) = #21.35

AMOUNT SHE HAS LEFT :

(INITIAL AMOUNT - TOTAL AMOUNT SPENT)

= #40 - #21.35

= #18. 65

Therefore, the amount Funke has left after making the above purchases is #18.65

In functions; transformations are used to move lines, points, curves or shapes across the graph (i.e. up, down, right or left). After the transformation of [tex]f(x) = \log\ x[/tex], the resulting function is [tex]g(x) = 2\log\ (-x + 4) - 6[/tex]

Given that:

[tex]f(x) = \log\ x[/tex]

When translated 4 units left, the rule of translation is:

[tex](x,y) \to (x + 4,y)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]f'(x) = \log\ (x + 4)[/tex]

When translated 3 units down, the rule of translation is:

[tex](x,y) \to (x,y-3)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]f"(x) = \log\ (x + 4) - 3[/tex]

When reflected about the y-axis, the rule of reflection is:

[tex](x,y) \to (-x,y)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]f'"(x) = \log\ (-x + 4) - 3\\[/tex]

Lastly, when it is vertically stretched by 2; the rule is:

[tex](x,y) \to (x,2y)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]g(x) = 2[\log\ (-x + 4) - 3][/tex]
