In the Brady's Family, each girl has twice as many brothers as she has sisters.
However, each boy has the same number of brothers as sisters. Is this possible; and
if so how many girls are there in the family, and how many boys?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

3 girls and 4 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

Writing the number of girls in the family as g and the number of boys in the family as b,

we know that each girl has twice as many brothers as sisters. Therefore, the amount of boys in the family (b, or how many brothers each girl has) is twice the number of the amount of girls in the family (g) minus 1 (g-1) (subtract 1 because each girl's number of sisters does not include the girl herself). We can write this as

b = 2(g-1)

Next,

we know that each boy has the same amount of brothers as sisters. Therefore, the amount of boys in the family minus 1 (b-1, subtracting 1 because we don't include the boy that has the brothers) is equal to the amount of girls in the family (g). we can write this as

b-1 = g

Therefore, we have

b = 2(g-1)

b-1 = g

Plugging b-1 = g into the first equation, we get

b = 2 (g-1)

2(g-1) = 2((b-1) - 1) = b

= 2(b-1-1)

= 2(b-2)

= 2b-4

b = 2b-4

subtract 2b from both sides to make it so that only b values and their coefficients are on one side

-b = -4

multiply both sides by -1 to solve for b

b=4

Therefore, there are 4 boys in the family and b-1 = 4-1 = 3 girls in the family.

Levi decides to examine the effect of fertilizer on the growth of tomato plants. He chooses four plants for his experiment and applies varying amounts of fertilizer to three of them. He does not apply fertilizer to one plant.

Over a 15-day period, the plants receive fertilizer on Days 1, 4, 7, 10, and 13. Levi measures the height of all of his plants with a meterstick on Days 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15. He also makes sure to hold all experimental factors constant except for the fertilizer.

Ken needs a total of $410 to buy a new bicycle. He has $35 saved. He earns $15 each week delivering newspapers. How many weeks will Ken have to deliver papers to have enough money to buy the bicycle?

Thanks so much! :D

Answers

25 weeks he’ll have all $410 :)

Answer:

25 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we already know that he has $35 buck-a-roons saved, we can just subtract that from the cost of the bicycle to find the actual price—which would be 375. Then, we know that for every week, he gains $15 bucks. Therefore we know that 15 would be our variable so we can create the following equation:

15x + 35 = 410

15x = 375

15x/15 = 375/15

x = 25

After 25 weeks, Ken will have enough money to buy the bicycle.

a farmer produced 47581 2 oranges of one kind and 651 65 oranges of another kind He mixed these oranges and packed in 296 boxes how many oranges did he pack in a box?​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not sure the scanning of the text went well, as this has some strange gaps in the numbers.

I understand that we have 475812 oranges of one type and 65165 oranges of another type.

we have no information, if these types of oranges have significantly different sizes or weight. so, we have to assume that they are reasonably equal to each other.

therefore, the "different type" statement is just to confuse us. the text could have also said that these were 2 different truck loads of the same type.

we only need to deal with the total number of oranges.

so,

475812 + 65165 = 540977 total oranges

he packs them into 296 boxes.

that makes

540977 / 296 = 1827.625 oranges per box.

these are many oranges for one box in real life.

and it is not a round number, which is strange for a home work or test question if this type.

if the farmer truly put only the same number of oranges in every box, he would have

540977 - 1827×296 = 540977 - 540792 = 185

oranges left over.

in any case, these are all signs that there was probably something wrong with the text. but you see the principle up there. please do the same thing with the real numbers.

Numbers of one kind oranges=475812

No of other kind oranges=65165

Total oranges

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 475812+65165=540977[/tex]

Total boxes=296

Oranges per box:-

Give a vector parametric equation for the line through the point (−2,−4,0) that is parallel to the line ⟨−2−3t,1−4t,−5t⟩:

Answers

The tangent vector for the given line is

T(t) = d/dt ⟨-2 - 3t, 1 - 4t, -5t⟩ = ⟨-3, -4, -5⟩

On its own, this vector points to a single point in space, (-3, -4, -5).

Multiply this vector by some scalar t to get a whole set of vectors, essentially stretching or contracting the vector ⟨-3, -4, -5⟩. This set is a line through the origin.

Now translate this set of vectors by adding to it the vector ⟨-2, -4, 0⟩, which correspond to the given point.

Then the equation for this new line is simply

L(t) = ⟨-3, -4, -5⟩t + ⟨-2, -4, 0⟩ = ⟨-2 - 3t, -4 - 4t, -5t

The vector parametric equation for the line through the point is [tex]r = (-2, \ -4, \ 0) +(-3, \ -4, \ -5)t\\\\[/tex].

Given

Give a vector parametric equation for the line through the point (−2,−4,0) that is parallel to the line ⟨−2−3t,1−4t,−5t⟩.

What is a parametric equation vector?

Parametric equations of the line segment are defined by its endpoints.

To find the vector equation of the line segment, we’ll convert its endpoints to their vector equivalents.

Two lines are parallel if they have the same direction, and in the parametric form, the direction of a line is always the vector of constants that multiply t (or the parameter).

The vector equation of a line is given by:

[tex]\rm v = r_0+tv[/tex]

Where v is the direction vector and [tex]\rm r_0[/tex] is a point of the line.

The tangent vector for the given line is

T(t) = d/dt ⟨-2 - 3t, 1 - 4t, -5t⟩ = ⟨-3, -4, -5⟩

Here,

[tex]\rm r_0 = (-2,-4,0) \ and \ v=(-3, \ -4, \ -5)t\\\\[/tex]

Then,

[tex]r = (-2, \ -4, \ 0) +(-3, \ -4, \ -5)t\\\\[/tex]

x = -2-3t, y = -4-4t, and z = 0-5t

A boat takes 3 days to travel from town A to town B, but it takes 4 days to travel from town B to town A. If a motor-less raft is left alone in the water by town A, how long will it take for the raft to float to town B?

Answers

Answer:

24 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from A to B equals the distance from B to A.

Let the distance between A and B be d.

3 days = 72 hours

4 days = 96 hours

speed = distance/time

speeds are in miles per hour

speed from A to B = d/72

speed from B to A = d/96

difference in speeds:

d/72 - d/96 = d/288

The speed of the water is half of the difference.

speed = d/576

When the raft floats from A to B, it uses only the speed of the water.

d/576 / d/72 = 1/8

The speed of the water is 1/8 the overall speed of the trip from A to B, so traveling by the speed of the water alone must take 8 times longer than with the boat motor.

8 * 3 days = 24 days

Find the average rate of change of g(x) = 2x^3 - 5 from x= -4 to x= 2

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

the average change rate is the change of the functional values from the beginning to the end of the interval, and then that divided by the length of the interval.

like with every average or mean value calculation.

g(-4) = 2×(-4)³ - 5 = -128 - 5 = -133

g(2) = 2×2³ - 5 = 16 - 5 = 11

so, on an interval of x values of 2- -4 = 6 units the function changes its values by 11 - -133 = 144 units.

the average charge rate for this x interval is therefore

144 / 6 = 24 = 24/1

for 1 unit change of x, g(x) changes in the average by 24 units.

Find the value of w
A. 141
B. 110
C. 80
D. 100

Answers

Answer:

141

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle Formed by Two Chords= 1/2(SUM of Intercepted Arcs)

We know z+70 = 180 since they form a straight line

z = 110

z = 1/2 ( 79+w)

110 = 1/2 ( 79+w)

220 = 79+w

220-79 = w

141 =w

The value of w is found to be 141.

ChordWhat is chord of a circle?

The line segment connecting any two locations on a circle's circumference is referred to as the chord of the circle.

It should be emphasised that the diameter is the circle's longest chord, which runs through its centre.

Relation between chord and arc:

When two chords cross inside of a circle, the angle's measure is equal to the product of the lengths of the intersecting arcs and the vertical angle, divided by two.

Formula for chord angle:

angle formed by two chords =  1/2 (sum of intercepted arcs)

Calculation for arc w:

Estimate angle z by linear pair.

z + 70 = 180

z = 110

z is the angle formed between two chord of the circle.

Thus,

z = 1/2( 79 + w)   {sum of intercepted arcs}

110 =  1/2( 79 + w)

Further solving,

w = 141

Therefore, the value of arc w comes out to be 141.
