Answers

Answer 1

Answer: the boy won 10 games

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call B as the number of games won by the boy, and F as the number of games won by the father.

We know that, there is a total of 26 games:

B + F = 26.

We know that in each game won by the boy, he wins 8 cents, for every game that the father wins, the boy losses 5 cents, and we know that at the end of the 26 games, the boy did not win or lose any money, so we have:

B*8 + F*(-5) = 0.

Then we have a system of equations:

B + F = 26

8*B - 5*F = 0.

The first step is isolating one of the variables. Let's start isolating F in the first equation:

B + F = 26

F = 26 - B.

Now we can replace this in the second equation:

8*B - 5*F = 0

8*B - 5*(26 - B) = 0

8*B + 5*B - 5*26 = 0

13*B = 5*26

B = 5*26/13 = 5*2 = 10

So the boy won 10 games (then the father won the other 16 games)

Answer:

65.94 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of a cone=πr(r+√h^2+r^2)

π=3.14

r=diameter/2

=14/2

=7 in

h=?

h=a

To find h using Pythagoras theorem

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

14^2 = a^2 + 7^2

14^2 - 7^2= a^2

196-49=a^2

147=a^2

Square root both sides

√147=√a^2

12.12=a

a=12.12 in

Surface area of a cone=πr(r+√h^2+r^2)

=3.14(7+√12.12^2+7^2)

=3.14(7+√147+49)

=3.14(7+√196)

A gear ratio is the ratio of the teeth on the rear sprocket. If a bike has 36 teeth on the front and 12 teeth on the rear sprocket, what is the gear ratio for the bike?

Answers

Answer: the ratio of the bike is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

its simply easy all you have to do is divide 36/12

Hey There!!

The answer to this is: (3:1) 36:12. 36 is the teeth on the front socket and 12 is the teeth on the rear socket. All you need to do is simplify by finding the greatest common factor (GCF) of 36 and 12-which is 12, then divide by the GCF. This gives you 3:1. The gear ratio for the bike is 3 teeth on the front socket for every 1 teeth on the rear socket (3:1).

The perpendicular bisector of the line segment connecting the points $(-3,8)$ and $(-5,4)$ has an equation of the form $y = mx + b$. Find $m+b$.

Answers

Answer:

m = -1/2 and b = 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the original line segment, we have to do the change in y/the change in x:

(4-8)/(-5--3) = -4/-2 = 2

2 is the slope of the original line segment, but since this is the perpendicular bisector, we have to take the negative reciprocal of 2 so m = -1/2

To find b we substitute the values of x, y, and m into the equation. Let's use the x value of -3 and the y value of 8:

y = mx + b

8 = -1/2(-3) + b

8 = 3/2 + b

6.5 = b


Let f (x) = |2). Write a function g whose graph is a vertical shrink by a factor of
followed by a translation 2 units up of the graph of f.

Answers

Answer:

This is poorly written, so i will answer it as it was:

"Let f (x) = |2). Write a function g(x) whose graph is a vertical shrink by a factor of  A, followed by a translation 2 units up of the graph of f."

I don't really know what you do mean by I2), so i will answer it in a general way.

First, we do a vertical shrink of factor A.

A must be a number smaller than one and larger than zero., then if g(x) is a vertical shrink of factor A of the graph of f(x), we have that:

g(x) = A*f(x)

As 0 < A < 1

We will have that the graph of g(x) is a vertical compression of the graph of f(x)

Now we do a vertical shift of 2 units up.

A general vertical shift of N units up is written as:

g(x) = f(x) + N

Where N is a positive number.

So in our case, we have:

g(x) = A*f(x) + 2.

Where you will need to replace the values of A and f(x) depending on what the actual question says,

Step-by-step explanation:

To make a copy of an angle, the steps are;

1) Draw the rays of the original angle passing through the point B

2) Open the compass slightly and place the compass point on the vertices G where the two rays meet to draw an arc that intersect both rays

3) Label the point of intersection of both rays points C and D

4) With the compass still opened to the same width, move the compass to the point B on the line the angle is to be copied and draw a similar arc intersecting the ray at J

5) Open the compass to the width of C and D on the original angle and place the compass at point J to mark the arc on the copied angle location at M

6) Draw a line from B passing through M to complete the second ay of the copied angle.

In a triangle the sum of the internal angles is 180 °.... Thus,

AB = OA / TG B

AB = 6 / TG 30

AB = 6√3

A1 = (AB . OA)/2

Micha is playing a game with five cards numbered 1 through 5. He will place the cards in a bag and draw one card at random three times, replacing the card each time. To win a prize, he must draw the number 5 all three times. What is the probability he will draw the number 5 all three times?

Answers

Answer: 0.008

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3 experiments.

Each experiment is exactly the same: "Drawing the card with the number 5, out of a bag with five cards".

in a random selection all the cards have exactly the same probability of being drawn, so the probability of drawing the 5, is equal to the quotient between the number of cards with the 5 (only one) and the total number of cards in the bag (5) then the probability is:

p = 1/5.

And we want this event to happen 3 consecutive times, then the total probability is equal to the product of the probabilities for each event:

P = (1/5)*(1/5)*(1/5) = 1/125 = 0.008

In a naval engagement, one-third of the fleet was captured, one-sixth was sunk, and two ships were destroyed by fire. One-seventh of the surviving ships were lost in a storm after the battle. Finally, the twenty-four remaining ships sailed home. How many ships were in the fleet before the engagement?

Answers

Answer:

60 ships.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of ships in the naval fleet be represented by x

One-third of the fleet was captured = 1/3x

One-sixth was sunk = 1/6x

Two ships were destroyed by fire = 2

Let surviving ships be represented by y

One-seventh of the surviving ships were lost in a storm after the battle = 1/7y

Finally, the twenty-four remaining ships sailed home

The 24 remaining ships that sailed home =

y - 1/7y = 6/7y of the surviving fleet sailed home.

Hence

24 = 6/7y

24 = 6y/7

24 × 7/ 6

y = 168/6

y = 28

Therefore, total number of ships that survived is 28.

Surviving ships lost in the storm = 1/7y = 1/7 × 28 = 4

Total number of ships in the fleet(x) =

x = 1/3x + 1/6x + 2 + 28

Collect like terms

x - (1/3x + 1/6x) = 30

x - (1/2x) = 30

1/2x = 30

x = 30 ÷ 1/2

x = 30 × 2

x = 60

Therefore, ships that were in the fleet before the engagement were 60 ships.

Answers

Answer:

The third table is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, we are concerned with determine which of the tables correctly represents what an exponential function is.

An exponential function is a function of the form;

y = x^n

where the independent variable x in this case is raised to a certain exponent so as to give the results on the dependent variable axis (y-axis)

In the table, we can see that we have 2 segments, one that contains digits 1,2 and so on while the other contains purely the powers of 10.

Now, let’s set up an exponential outlook;

y = 10^x

So we have;

1 = 10^0

10 = 10^1

1/10 = 10^-1

1000 = 10^3

1/100 = 10^-2

We can clearly see here that we have an increase in the value of y, depending on the value of the exponent.

However it is only this table that responds to this successive correctness as the other tables in the answer do have a point where they fail.

For example;

10^-2 is not 10 which makes the fourth table wrong

10^4 is not 100 which makes the first table wrong

we have same error on second table too

Step-by-step explanation:

a) If you try to subtract 1 to 8 from 1098, it won't make a perfect square. But if you subtract 9 from 1098 (that will make it 1089), it will make a perfect square.

√1089 = 33

33² = 33 × 33 = 1089

So the answer is 9.

b). If you try to subtract 1 to 8 from 4498, it won't make a perfect square. But if you subtract 9 from 4498 (that will make it 4489), it will make a perfect square.
