A fruit company delivers its fruit in 2 types of boxes: large and small. A delivery of 3 large boxes and 5 small boxes has a total weight of 79 kilograms. A delivery of 12 large boxes and 2 small boxes has a total weight of 199 kilograms. How much does each type of box weight?

Answer:

large:  15.5 kgsmall 6.5 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the weights of the large and small boxes, respectively. Then the two delivery weights give rise to the equations ...

  3x +5y -79 = 0

  12x +2y -199 = 0

Using the "cross multiplication method" of solving these equations, we find ...

  d1 = (3)(2) -(12)(5) = 6 -60 = -54

  d2 = 5(-199) -(2)(-79) = -995 +158 = -837

  d3 = -79(12) -(-199)(3) = -948 +597 = -351

1/d1 = x/d2 = y/d3

x = d2/d1 = -837/-54 = 15.5

y = d3/d1 = -351/-54 = 6.5

The large boxes weigh 15.5 kg; the small boxes weigh 6.5 kg.

Additional comment

My preferred quick and easy way to solve equations like this is using a graphing calculator. In addition to that, an algebraic method is shown.

The "cross-multiplication method" shown here is what I consider to be a simplified version of what you would find in videos. It is a variation of Cramer's rule and the Vedic maths methods of solving pairs of linear equations. I find it useful when "elimination" or "substitution" methods would result in annoying numbers. In such cases, it uses fewer arithmetic operations than would be required by other methods.

Short description: writing the coefficients of the general form equations in 4 columns, where the last column is the same as the first, a "cross multiplication" is computed for each of the three pairs of columns. Those computations are of the form ...

  [tex]\text{column pair: }\begin{array}{cc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\ \Rightarrow\ d_n=ad-cb[/tex]

The relationship between the differences d₁, d₂, and d₃ and the variable values is shown above.

a store sign reads "Take 75% of the original price when you take an additional 15% off the sale price, which is 60% off the original price." Is the stores sign accurate?

Answers

Answer:

The new price is 66% off the original not 75% off

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price

First take 60 percent off

x - x*60% = new price

x- .60x = .40x

The new price is .40x

Then take 15 % off

(.40x) - (.40x)*15%

.40x - .40x*.15

.40x - .06x

.34x

100 -.34 =.66

The new price is 66% off the original not 75% off

Step-by-step explanation:

12 - 4x - 5x = 39

Combine like terms

12 - 9x = 39

Subtract 12 from both sides

Answers

Answer:  4900 mph

Work Shown:

30 min = 30/60 = 0.5 hours

distance = rate*time

rate = distance/time

rate = (2450 miles)/(0.5 hours)

rate = (2450/0.5) mph

What is the sum of the geometric sequence 1, 3, 9, ... if there are 10 terms? (5 points)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]S_n = \frac{1 (1 - 3^{10})}{1 - 3} = 29524[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

There's a handy formula we can use to find the sum of a geometric sequence, and here it is

[tex]S_n = \frac{a_1 (1 - r^n)}{1 - r}[/tex]

The value n represents the amount of terms you want to sum in the sequence. The variable r is known as the common ratio, and a is just some constant. Let's find those values.

First lets visualize this sequence

[tex]n_1 = 1\\n_2 = 1 + 3\\n_3 = 1 + 3 + 3^2\\n_4=1+3+3^2+3^3\\...[/tex]

Okay so there's clearly a pattern here, let's write it a bit more concisely. For each n, starting at 1, we raise 3 to the (n-1) power, add it to what we had for the previous term.

[tex]S_n = \sum{3^{n-1}} = 3^{1 - 1} + 3^{2 - 1} + 3^{3-1} ...[/tex]

Our coefficients of r, and a, are already here! As you can see below, r is just 3, and a is just 1.

[tex]S_n = \sum{a*r^{n-1}}[/tex]

To finish up lets plug these coefficients in and get our sum after 10 terms.

[tex]S_n = \frac{1 (1 - 3^{10})}{1 - 3} = 29524[/tex]

Consider this equation. √x - 1 - 5 = x - 8 The equation has(two valid solutions, one valid solution) and(one extraneous solution, no extraneous solutions) A valid solution for x is(0, 4, 2, 5)​

Answers

The equation has 2 valid solutions; no extraneous solutions

The given equation is:

[tex]\sqrt{x - 1} - 5= x - 8[/tex]

First, we determine the solutions

[tex]\sqrt{x - 1} - 5= x - 8[/tex]

Add 5 to both sides

[tex]\sqrt{x - 1} = x - 8 + 5[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{x - 1} = x - 3[/tex]

Square both sides

[tex]x - 1 = (x - 3)^2[/tex]

Expand

[tex]x - 1 = x^2- 3x - 3x + 9[/tex]

[tex]x - 1 = x^2- 6x + 9[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]x^2 - 6x - x + 9 + 1 = 0[/tex]

[tex]x^2 - 7x + 10 = 0[/tex]

Expand again

[tex]x^2 - 2x-5x + 10 = 0[/tex]

Factorize

[tex]x(x - 2) -5(x -2)= 0[/tex]

Factor out x - 2

[tex](x - 5)(x -2)= 0[/tex]

Split

[tex]x - 5=0[/tex] or [tex]x - 2 = 0[/tex]

The function y = 2 cos 3(x + 2π∕3) +1 has a phase shift (or horizontal shift) of

A) –2π∕3
B) 3
C) 1
D) 2

Answers

Answer:

-2pi/3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2 cos 3(x + 2π∕3) +1

y = A sin(B(x + C)) + D  

amplitude is A

period is 2π/B

phase shift is C (positive is to the left)

vertical shift is D

We have a shift to the left of 2 pi /3

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard cosine function has the form:

[tex]\displaystyle y = a\cos (b(x-c)) + d[/tex]

Where |a| is the amplitude, 2π / b is the period, c is the phase shift, and d is the vertical shift.

We have the function:

[tex]\displaystyle y = 2 \cos 3\left(x + \frac{2\pi}{3}\right) + 1[/tex]

We can rewrite this as:

[tex]\displaystyle y = \left(2\right)\cos 3\left(x - \left(-\frac{2\pi}{3}\right)\right) + 1[/tex]

Therefore, a = 2, b = 3, c = -2π/3, and d = 1.

Our phase shift is represented by c. Thus, the phase shift is -2π/3.

Our answer is A.

A consumer advocate agency is concerned about reported failures of two brands of MP3 players, which we will label Brand A and Brand B. In a random sample of 197 Brand A players, 33 units failed within 1 year of purchase. Of the 290 Brand B players, 25 units were reported to have failed within the first year following purchase. The agency is interested in the difference between the population proportions, , for the two brands. Using the data from the two brands, what would be the standard error of the estimated difference, Dp = A – B, if it were believed that the two population proportions were, in fact, equal (i.e., )?

Answers

Answer:

The standard error of the estimated difference is of 0.0313.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the central limit theorem, and subtraction of normal variables.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Subtraction between normal variables:

When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

Brand A:

33 out of 197, so:

[tex]p_A = \frac{33}{197} = 0.1675[/tex]

[tex]s_A = \sqrt{\frac{0.1675*0.8325}{197}} = 0.0266[/tex]

Brand B:

25 out of 290, so:

[tex]p_B = \frac{25}{290} = 0.0862[/tex]

[tex]s_B = \sqrt{\frac{0.0862*0.9138}{290}} = 0.0165[/tex]

What would be the standard error of the estimated difference?

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_A^2+s_B^2} = \sqrt{0.0266^2+0.0165^2} = 0.0313[/tex]

The standard error of the estimated difference is of 0.0313.

I’d personally say either A or C, and here’s why: with B and D, you don’t know what will change it, or make it go from a linear rate of change to exponential for B, and for D it’s more of a quadratic than a linear. It’s for that same reasoning that I’d hesitate to say A over C: there are other factors other than strictly the number of tickets sold and the number of minutes pre-football game. C, with the grapes, on the other hand, is a linear one that will always changeable depending on weight of the grapes.

Answers

Answer:

Imaginary roots

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant of a quadratic in standard form [tex]ax^2+bx+c[/tex] is given by [tex]b^2-4ac[/tex].

Given [tex]7x^2+1=5x[/tex], subtract 5x from both sides so that the quadratic is in standard form:

[tex]7x^2-5x+1=0[/tex]

Now assign variables:

[tex]a\implies 7[/tex] [tex]b\implies -5[/tex] [tex]c\implies 1[/tex]

The discriminant is therefore [tex](-5)^2-4(7)(1)=25-28=\textbf{-3}[/tex].

What does this tell us about the roots?

Recall that the discriminant is what is under the radical in the quadratic formula. The quadratic formula is used to find the solutions of a quadratic. Therefore, the solutions of this quadratic would be equal to [tex]\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{-3}}{2a}[/tex] for some [tex]b[/tex] and [tex]a[/tex]. Since the number under the radical is negative, there are no real roots to the quadratic (whenever the discriminant is negative, the are zero real solutions to the quadratic). Therefore, the quadratic has imaginary roots.

Now if I take any root point and insert it into the equation I won't be able to solve for y because they will always multiply to zero (ie. when I pick [tex]x=-3[/tex] the right hand side will multiply to zero,

[tex]y=-3a(-3+3)(-3-1)(-3-4)=0[/tex]

and a will be "lost" in the process.

If we observed a non-root point that we could substitute with x and y and result in a non-loss process then you could find a. But since there is no such point (I don't think you can read it of the graph) there is no other viable way to find a.
