What is the minimum possible value of $x$

Answers

Answer 1

Correct question is;

Ten people are sitting in a row, and each is thinking of a negative integer no smaller than −15. Each person subtracts, from his own number, the number of the person sitting to his right (the rightmost person does nothing). Because he has nothing else to do, the rightmost person observes that all the differences were positive. Let x be the greatest integer owned by one of the 10 people at the beginning. What is the minimum possible value of x?

Answer:

Minimum possible value of x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 10 people and the rightmost person observes that all the differences from the subtraction or positive.

What this implies is that the person on the far left side of the row will have the largest number which from the quewis denoted as x.

Thus, we can say that the person sitting to the far right end on the row will have the smallest integer.

Since we want to minimize x, and for the fact that we are told that each is thinking of a negative integer no smaller than −15, then we will have to make the rightmost person have an integer of -15.

Since there are 9 people remaining on the row, thus, we add 9 to -15 to get the integer of the person for the leftmost person which will be the minimum he will have.

Thus;

-15 + 9 = -6

A. y = -x +3
B. y = 2x - 6
c. y = -x + 4
D. y = 1/2x -3​

Answers

Answer:

y = -2/3x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to calculate the slope of the line. We can do this by using the slope formula using two points:

(y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

If we take the points (-3,5) and (3,1), then: y₂ = 1; y₁ = 5; x₂ = 3; x₁ = -3

Next, we can substitute in values in the equation above to get (1 -5)/(3+3)

** We got 3+3 because it was 3 - (-3), where two negatives equal a positive**

Then, we get, -4/6, which simplifies to -2/3. Our slope is -2/3

After that, we need to find the y-intercept, which is where the line intercepts the y-axis. Here, that is at (0,3).

Therefore, if we put the above information into slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b --> m = -2/3; b = 3

y = -2/3x + 3

I am a 4 digit number all my digits are different they add up to 20 the hundred's digit is double than the one's digit

Answers

Answer:

- 2864

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The number is of 4 digits

All are different

The sum of the 4 digits = 20

Hundred's digit is twice than one's digit

A.T.Q.

Let the unit digit be 4. So, the hundred's digit would be 4 * 2 = 8

Now, we have

_8_4

We know that the sum of four digits is 20. Thus,

_ + 8 + _ + 4 = 20

∵ _ + _ = 20 - 12 = 8

The possible numbers must make a sum of 8. Thus, one possibility can be 2 and 6.

Therefore, the number can be

2864  

( 2 + 8 + 6 + 4 = 20)

The polygon in each pair are similar. Find the missing side length

Answers

Answer:

45 / 27 = 30 / 18 = x / 24

x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

The question here states that the two polygons are similar

Polygons that are similar have similar side length ratios.

If we want to find a side length we must create a proportional relationship

We are already given a partial proportional relationship.

Which is...

45 / __ = __ / 18 = x / __

First let's fill in the blanks

The side that is corresponding to the side with a length of 45 has a length of 27. So it would be 45/27

The side that is corresponding to the side with a length of 18 has a length of 30. So it would be 30/18

The side corresponding to side labeled "x" has a length of 24. so it would be x/24

So we would have

45 / 27 = 30 / 18 = x / 24

Now let's find x

We only need 2 ratios ( the one including x of course, and the other one can either be 30/18 or 45/27)

30 / 18 = x / 24

Now let's solve for x

Cross multiply

30*24=720

18*x=18x

We now have 18x = 720

Divide both sides by 18

18x / 18 = x

720 / 18 = 40

x = 40

To check our answers we can see if the ratios are similar

If they are then we are correct

45/27 = 1.66

30/18 =1.66

40/24 = 1.66

They are all equivalent meaning that our answers are correct

To wash a window that is 4 meters off the ground, Rafi leans a 5-meter ladder against the side of the building. To reach the window, how far away from the building should Rafi place the base of the ladder?

Answers

Answer:

Base of the ladder is 3 meters away from the building.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use Pythagoras theorem to solve.

Pythagoras theorem says,

[tex]a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}[/tex]

Here let horizontal distance is "a''

Vertical distance of window is 4 m

So, b=4

The Rafi leans 5 m ladder against the wall. So, c=5.

[tex]a^{2} +4^{2} =5^{2}[/tex]

Simplify it

[tex]a^{2} +16=25[/tex]

Subtract both sides 16

[tex]a^{2} =9[/tex]

Take square root on both sides

a=±3

So, base of the ladder is 3 meters away from the building.

What are trigonometric ratios in a right angle triangle ?

A right angle triangle has 3 sides opposite is the side opposite to the angle formed by two adjacent sides.hypotenuse is the largest side and adjacent is the remaining side.

Assuming height of the triangle = y

Sin∅ = opposite/hypotenuse

sin43° = y/39

y= 39sin43°

y = 26.6
From this we will solve the value of x

tan∅ = opposite/adjacent

here adjacent = 26.6 and opposite = x

tan32° = x/26.6

x = 26.6tan32°

x = 16.6

A man invested ksh. 36000 in two companies P and Q . Company P pays a dividend of 11.25% while Q pays a dividend of 10.5%. Is from his total investment, he obtained a return of 10.75%,how much did he invest in each company?​

Answers

Answer:

Investment in company P = 12,000

Investment in company Q = 24,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Total investment = 36,000

Dividend paid by company P = 11.25%

Dividend paid by company Q = 10.5%

Total return = 10.75%

Now, let investment made in company P be 'a' and company 'Q' be 'b.' So,

A.T.Q.

a + b = 36,000  ...(i)

11.25% of a + 10.5% of b = 10.75% of 36000  ...(ii)

On simplification,

a + b = 36,000

11.25% of a + 10.5% of b = 3870

Now,

11.25% of a + 10.5% of (36000 - a) = 3870

⇒ 0.1125 * a + 0.105 * (36000 - a) = 3870

⇒ 0.1125 a + 3780 - 0.105a = 3870

⇒ 0.1125a - 0.105 a - 3870 - 3780

⇒ 0.0075 a = 90

⇒ a = 90/0.0075

∵ a = 12000

Since, a = P = 12,000

Q = b = (36000 - a)

= 36000 - 12000

= 24,000

Thus,

Investment in company P = 12,000

Investment in company Q = 24,000

Answer:

Amount invested in P = 12,000

Amount invested in Q = 24,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount invested = 36,000 in two companies P and Q

P pays dividend = 11.25%

Q pays dividend = 10.5%

Total return = 10.75%

Find:

Amount invested in each company

Computation:

Total return = 36,000 x 10.75

Total return = 3870

Assume;

Amount invested in P = a

So,

Return in P = a x 11.25%

Return in P = 0.1125a

Return in Q = [36000 - a]10.5%

Return in Q = 3,780 - 0.105a

Total return = Return in P + Return in Q

3,870 = 0.1125a + 3,780 - 0.105a

90 = 0.0075a

a = 12,000

Amount invested in P = 12,000

Amount invested in Q = 36,000 - 12,000

Amount invested in Q = 24,000

what type of variation is this relationship

Answers

Answer: C) Partial variation; $375

=========================================================

Explanation:

We don't have a direct variation because the initial cost isn't $0

The equation for this situation is y = 25x+375, where x is the number of yearbooks purchased and y is the total cost.

Notice how this line doesn't go through the origin. All direct variation graphs are straight lines through the origin.

So that's why we have partial variation instead.

The initial cost is simply the set up cost, aka the cost when x = 0. That initial cost is $375. The initial cost is located at the y intercept.

From that initial cost, we then add on multiples of $25 depending on how many yearbooks are purchased.

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

In short, because the initial cost is $375, which is some nonzero value, this means we don't have direct variation. Instead, we have partial variation.

The entrance fee to a local waterpark is $34 per person. At the waterpark, you can rent a raft for $1.50 per hour. Which expression is equivalent to the amount it would cost Leah for h hours in the park if she rented a raft?

Answers

Algebraic Equation:

The entrance fee to enter the park is fixed and the amount of hours Leah will spend at the park is a variable.

We need to add the fixed and variable amounts.

34 + h

Because we don’t know how long Leah will spend on the raft we have to multiply h by the rate per hour for a raft.

34 + 1.50h

Therefore, Leah’s cost is 34 + 1.50h

Answer: 34+1.50h

Step-by-step explanation:

Algebraic Equation:

The entrance fee to the waterpark is the intial cost for Leah to get in the park. The amount of hours that Leah will spend at the park is a variable.

You need to add the intial cost and the variable amounts together.

34+h

You put the h in the equation because you don't know how long Leah will spend on the raft. You will be multiply by the rate per hour for a raft.

34+1.50h

Therefore the cost for Leah is 34+1.50.

34 + 1.50h

Therefore, Leah’s cost is 34 + 1.50h.
