Y = 11kofi and kweku are two brothers. Kofi is older than kweku. Given that kofi's age is (5x-4) years and kweku's age is (2x+1) years.
a. write down an expression, interns of x,for how much old is Kofi than kweku.
b. if Kofi is tens years older than kweku, find the value of x and the ages of Kofi and kweku
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the details :
Kofi is older than kweku
kofi's age = (5x-4) years
kweku's age = (2x+1) years
a. write down an expression, interns of x,for how much old is Kofi than kweku
Equate the ages of Kofi and kweku
(5x - 4) = (2x + 1)
5x - 4 = 2x + 1
5x - 2x = 1 + 4
3x = 5
3x - 5
B.) if Kofi is tens years older than kweku, find the value of x and the ages of Kofi and kweku
Then,
(5x-4) = (2x + 1) + 10
5x - 4 = 2x + 1 + 10
5x - 2x = 1 + 10 + 4
3x = 15
x = 5
Kofi's age : 5x - 4
5(5) - 4 = 25 - 4 = 21 years
Kweku's age : (2x + 1)
2(5) + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11 years
Write and solve an equation to answer the question. How many people must attend the third show so that the average attendance per show is 3000?
Answer:
3250
Step-by-step explanation:
so for the first and 2nd show, the attendance is 2580 and 2920.
The average of both these numbers is 2750
the if the third show had 3000 people, the average attendance would only be 2875.
We need the average number to be 3000.
2750 is 250 less than 3000, so the other number must be 250 more.
3250 is how many people should go to the last show.
=====================================
Explanation:
We have 2580 people attend the first show and 2920 attend the second. So far, that's 2580+2920 = 5500 people. Add on another x people to get 5500+x, which represents the sum of all three days attendance figures. Divide this sum by 3 to get the average attendance
average attendance = (sum of individual attendance values)/(number of days)
average attendance = (5500+x)/3
So that's why (5500+x)/3 goes in the first box. The parenthesis are important to ensure that you divide all of "5500+x" over 3. If you just wrote 5500+x/3, then the computer would think you just want to divide x only over 3.
----------------
We set (5500+x)/3 equal to 3000 as we want the average of the three days to be 3000
(5500+x)/3 = 3000
5500+x = 3*3000
5500+x = 9000
x = 9000-5500
x = 3500
We need 3500 people to show up on day 3 so that the average of all three days is 3000.
3500 goes in the second box.
----------------
Check:
The figures for the three days are 2580, 2920, and 3500
They add to 2580+2920+3500 = 9000
Which divides to 9000/3 = 3000, which is the average we're after. So the answer is confirmed.
Evaluate. Write in standard form.
Answer:
-i
Step-by-step explanation:
(-i)^0 = 1
(-i)^1 = -i
(-i)^2 = -1
(-i)^3 = -i
(-i)^4 = 1
(-i)^5 = -i
etc.
From this pattern, you see that when the exponent is a multiple of 4, you get 1. When the exponent is a multiple of 4 plus 1, you get -i, etc.
213 = 4 * 53 + 1
213 is 1 more than a multiple of 4.
(-i)^213 = (-i)^1 = -i
A line passes through the point (4,8) and has a slope of -3/2
Write an equation in Ax+By=C
Answer:
The answer is
3x + 2y = 28Step-by-step explanation:
To find an equation of the line using a point and the slope we use the formula
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
where
m is the slope
(x1 , y1) is the point
From the question
slope = -3/2
Point = (4,8)
So the equation of the line is
[tex]y - 8 = - \frac{3}{2} (x - 4)[/tex]
Multiply through by 2
2y - 16 = -3( x - 4)
2y - 16 = - 3x + 12
3x + 2y = 16 + 12
We have the final answer as
3x + 2y = 28Hope this helps you

Answer:
f(x) = - 3x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that y = f(x)
Rearrange making y the subject
9x + 3y = 12 ( subtract 9x from both sides )
3y = - 9x + 12 ( divide all terms by 3 )
y = - 3x + 4 , that is

Answer:
(7,-4) ; 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Basically, three corners of a rectangle are already on the graph. If you put a dot at (7,-4), that is the last corner(vertex) that finishes the rectangle
Then to find base of the rectangle, you find the length of the longer side, (the distance between the x coordinates). So you would subtract -5 from 7 and get 12, and 12 is the length of your base.

Part (a)
BC = opposite side (furthest leg from the reference angle)
AB = adjacent side (closest leg from the reference angle)
AC = hypotenuse (always opposite the 90 degree angle)
=============================================
Part (b)
i. False. Angle B is 90 degrees as shown by the square angle marker.
ii. False. Side AB is opposite angle C. Note how "C" is part of "BC", so that means we cannot have BC be opposite C.
iii. True. Leg AB is the closer leg to angle A. We have "A" in "AB" to see this without having to draw the diagram. Refer to part (a) above.
iv. False. The longest side of any right triangle is always the hypotenuse. The longest side of any triangle is always opposite the largest angle.
==============================================
Part (c)
cos(theta) = adjacent/hypotenuse = AB/AC
tan(theta) = opposite/adjacent = BC/AB
Refer back to part (a) to determine the opposite,adjacent and hypotenuse side lengths.
==============================================
Part (d)
The reference angle has changed, so the opposite and adjacent sides swap. The hypotenuse remains the same regardless of what reference angle you pick.
sin(C) = opposite/hypotenuse = AB/AC
cos(C) = adjacent/hypotenuse = BC/AC
tan(C) = opposite/adjacent = AB/BC
Note the tangent ratio is the reciprocal of what we found back in part (c).
Answer & Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
The hypotenuse is on line CA (the hypotenuse is always opposite the 90° angle (marked by a little square))
The adjacent is on the line BA (adjacent is next to the given angle, but NOT the hypotenuse)
The opposite is on the line CB (this is opposite the given angle)
(b)
i. false (b is a right angle)
ii. false (the side opposite C is BA)
iii. true
iv. false (the side opposite B is the hypotenuse, and the hypotenuse is always the longest side in a triangle)
(c)
cosine ratio: [tex]cos=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex]
tangent ratio: [tex]tan=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]
The cosine and tangent ratios of the given angle:

An important factor in selling a residential property is the number of people who look through the home. A sample of 17 homes recently sold in the Buffalo, New York, area revealed the mean number looking through each home was 19 and the standard deviation of the sample was 4 people.
Develop a 98 percent confidence interval for the population mean. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Confidence interval for the population mean is between and ?
Answer:
Confidence interval for the population mean is between 15 homes and 19 homes
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Sample (n) = 17 homes, mean (μ) = 19 homes, standard deviation (σ)= 4 people and confidence (C) = 98% = 0.98
α = 1 - C = 1 - 0.98 = 0.02
α/2 = 0.02/2 = 0.01.
The z score of 0.01 (α/2) corresponds to the z score of 0.49 (0.5 - 0.01) which from the normal distribution table is 2.33
The margin of error (E) is:
[tex]E=z_{0.01}*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } =2.33*\frac{4}{\sqrt{19} }=2[/tex]
The confidence interval = μ ± E = 17 ± 2 = (15, 19)
Confidence interval for the population mean is between 15 homes and 19 homes

What is a21 of the arithmetic sequence for which a7=−19 and a10=−28? A. -35 B. 35 C. -58 D. -61
Answer:
a21 = -61
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)d[/tex]
[tex]-19=a_{1}+(7-1)d[/tex]
[tex]-28=a_{1}+(10-1)d[/tex] (subtract to eliminate a₁)
9 = -3d
d = -3
-19 = a₁ + (6)(-3)
-1 = a
a21 = -1 + (21 - 1)(-3)
= -61
Answer:
-61 (Answer D)
Step-by-step explanation:
The general formula for an arithmetic sequence with common difference d and first term a(1) is
a(n) = a(1) + d(n - 1)
Therefore, a(7) = -19 = a(1) + d(7 - 1), or a(7) = a(1) + d(6) = -19
and a(10) = a(1) + d(10 - 1) = -28, or a(1) + d(10 - 1) = -28
Solving the first equation a(1) + d(6) = -19 for a(1) yields a(1) = -19 - 6d. We substitute this result for a(1) in the second equation:
-19 - 6d + 9d = -28. Grouping like terms together, we get:
3d = -9, and so d = -3.
Going back to an earlier result: a(1) = -19 - 6d.
Here, a(1) = -19 - 6(-3), or a(1) = -1.
Then the formula specifically for this case is a(n) = -1 - 3(n - 1)
and so a(21) = -1 - 3(20) = -61 (Answer D)

The populations are normally distributed. Determine the:
Hypothesis in symbolic form?
Determine the value of the test statistic?
Find the critical value or value?
determine if you should reject null hypothesis or fail to reject?
write a conclusion addressing the original claim?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
GIven that :
Company A
Sample size n₁ = 16 workers
Mean [tex]\mu[/tex]₁ = 5.2
Standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex]₁ = 1.1
Company B
Sample size n₂ = 21 workers
Mean [tex]\mu[/tex]₂ = 4.6
Standard deviation [tex]\mu[/tex]₂ = 4.6
The null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as follows:
[tex]H_o : \mu _1 = \mu_2[/tex]
[tex]H_1 : \mu _1 > \mu_2[/tex]
The value of the test statistics can be determined by using the formula:
[tex]t = \dfrac{\overline {x_1}- \overline {x_2}}{\sqrt{\sigma p^2( \dfrac{1}{n_1}+\dfrac{1}{n_2})}}[/tex]
where;
[tex]\sigma p^2= \dfrac{(n_1 -1) \sigma_1^2+ (n_2-1)\sigma_2^2}{n_1+n_2-2}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma p^2= \dfrac{(16 -1) (1.1)^2+ (21-1)4.6^2}{16+21-2}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma p^2= \dfrac{(15) (1.21)+ (20)21.16}{35}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma p^2= \dfrac{18.15+ 423.2}{35}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma p^2= \dfrac{441.35}{35}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma p^2= 12.61[/tex]
Recall:
[tex]t = \dfrac{\overline {x_1}- \overline {x_2}}{\sqrt{\sigma p^2( \dfrac{1}{n_1}+\dfrac{1}{n_2})}}[/tex]
[tex]t = \dfrac{5.2- 4.6}{\sqrt{12.61( \dfrac{1}{16}+\dfrac{1}{21})}}[/tex]
[tex]t = \dfrac{0.6}{\sqrt{12.61( \dfrac{37}{336})}}[/tex]
[tex]t = \dfrac{0.6}{\sqrt{12.61(0.110119)}}[/tex]
[tex]t = \dfrac{0.6}{\sqrt{1.38860059}}[/tex]
[tex]t = \dfrac{0.6}{1.178388981}[/tex]
t = 0.50917
degree of freedom df = ( n₁ + n₂ - 2 )
degree of freedom df = (16 + 21 - 2)
degree of freedom df = 35
Using Level of significance ∝ = 0.05, From t-calculator , given that t = 0.50917 and degree of freedom df = 35
p - value = 0.3069
The critical value [tex]t_{\alpha ,d.f}[/tex] = [tex]t_{0.05 , 35}[/tex] = 1.6895
Decision Rule: Reject the null hypothesis if the test statistics is greater than the critical value.
Conclusion: We do not reject the null hypothesis because, the test statistics is lesser than the critical value, therefore we conclude that there is no sufficient information that the claim that company a retains it workers longer than more than company b.

State if the triangles are similar. If so, how do you know they are similar and complete the similarity statement. Triangle LKJ≈____
Answer: C) similar, SAS similarity, triangle LQR
==============================================
Explanation:
The vertical angles KLJ and QLR are congruent. This forms the "A" in "SAS". The angles in question are between the marked sides.
KL = 18 is twice that of QL = 9, or put another way, KL/QL = 18/9 = 2. The ratio of the sides is 2. Also, JL/RL = 16/8 = 2 is the same ratio. Because both pairs of sides have the same ratio, the sides are in proportion. This helps form the two "S" letters of "SAS".
The original triangle has LKJ mentioned at the top. Note the order as its important. We start with L and move to K, so LK is the first segment mentioned. LK = 18 pairs up with LQ = 9, meaning that LQ must be the first segment mentioned of the answer triangle. Therefore LQR is the correct letter sequence if we start with point L. Writing QLR is not correct because Q is the first letter here but Q does not pair up with L.

Please answer. I need this to be done, Thanks. Will give brainliest
Answer:
The answer is s^26/pq59
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
p^ -1 q ^ -59 s ^26
or without negative exponents
s^ 26 /(p q^ 59)
Step-by-step explanation:
When multiplying , we can add the exponents when the bases are the same
p^0 q ^ -60 r^-1 s^25 * p^-1 qrs
When there is no exponent written, there is an implied 1
p^ (0+-1) q^(-60+1) r ^( -1 +1) s ^ ( 25+1)
p^ -1 q ^ -59 r ^0 s ^26
r^0 = 1
p^ -1 q ^ -59 s ^26
If you need the negative exponents written as positive
a^-b = 1/ a^b
s^ 26 /(p q^ 59)
what is the value of this expression when g= -3.5?
8-|2g-5|
a. 20
b. 10
c. 6
d. -4
Answer:
d. -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's plug in g
8 - |2(-3.5) - 5|
8 - |-7-5|
8 - |-12|
The absolute value is always positive of any number,
8 - 12
= -4
Answer:
D. -4
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given this expression:
[tex]8-|2g-5|[/tex]
and asked to evaluate when g= -3.5 Therefore, we must substitute -3.5 in for g.
[tex]8-|2(-3.5)-5|[/tex]
First, multiply 2 and -3.5
2 * -3.5 = -7
[tex]8-|-7-5|[/tex]
Next, subtract 5 from -7.
-7-5= -12
[tex]8-|-12|[/tex]
Next, evaluate the absolute value of -12. The absolute value is how far away a number is from 0, and it is always positive. The absolute value of -12 is 12.
[tex]8-12[/tex]
Subtract 12 from 8.
[tex]-4[/tex]
The value of the expression is -4 and D is the correct answer.
