A number, one-fourth of that number, and one-third of that number are added. The result is 38. What is the original number?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 12x represent the original number.

One fourth of that number can be represented by 3x, and one third of the number can be represented by 4x.

Create an equation that sets this equal to 38, and solve for x:

12x + 3x + 4x = 38

19x = 38

x = 2

The original number is represented by 12x, so plug in 2 as x:

12(2)

= 24

So, the original number is 24.

You deposit $10,000 in an account earning 4% interest compounded monthly. a. How much will you have in the account in 25 years? b. How much interest will you earn?

Answers

Answer:

In 25 years I will have $ 27,137.65. Therefore, I will earn $17,137.65 interest.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that I deposit $ 10,000 in an account earning 4% interest compounded monthly, to determine how much will you have in the account in 25 years and how much interest will I earn, the following calculation must be performed:

10,000 x (1 + 0.04 / 12) ^ 25x12 = X

10,000 x (1 + 0.00333) ^ 300 = X

10,000 x 2.7137 = X

27,137.65 = X

Therefore, in 25 years I will have $ 27,137.65. Therefore, I will earn $17,137.65 interest.

Prove the formula that:
((∃x)(F(x)∧S(x))→(∀y)(M(y)→W(y)))∧((∃y)(M(y)∧¬W(y)))
⇒(∀x)(F(x)→¬S(x))

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: [∀x(L(x) → A(x))] →

[∀x(L(x) ∧ ∃y(L(y) ∧ H(x, y)) → ∃y(A(y) ∧ H(x, y)))]

To prove, we shall follow a proof by contradiction. We shall include the negation of the conclusion for

arguments. Since with just premise, deriving the conclusion is not possible, we have chosen this proof

technique.

Consider ∀x(L(x) → A(x)) ∧ ¬[∀x(L(x) ∧ ∃y(L(y) ∧ H(x, y)) → ∃y(A(y) ∧ H(x, y)))]

We need to show that the above expression is unsatisfiable (False).

¬[∀x(L(x) ∧ ∃y(L(y) ∧ H(x, y)) → ∃y(A(y) ∧ H(x, y)))]

∃x¬((L(x) ∧ ∃y(L(y) ∧ H(x, y))) → ∃y(A(y) ∧ H(x, y)))

∃x((L(x) ∧ ∃y(L(y) ∧ H(x, y))) ∧ ¬(∃y(A(y) ∧ H(x, y))))

E.I with respect to x,

(L(a) ∧ ∃y(L(y) ∧ H(a, y))) ∧ ¬(∃y(A(y) ∧ H(a, y))), for some a

(L(a) ∧ ∃y(L(y) ∧ H(a, y))) ∧ (∀y(¬A(y) ∧ ¬H(a, y)))

E.I with respect to y,

(L(a) ∧ (L(b) ∧ H(a, b))) ∧ (∀y(¬A(y) ∧ ¬H(a, y))), for some b

U.I with respect to y,

(L(a) ∧ (L(b) ∧ H(a, b)) ∧ (¬A(b) ∧ ¬H(a, b))), for any b

Since P ∧ Q is P, drop L(a) from the above expression.

(L(b) ∧ H(a, b)) ∧ (¬A(b) ∧ ¬H(a, b))), for any b

Apply distribution

(L(b) ∧ H(a, b) ∧ ¬A(b)) ∨ (L(b) ∧ H(a, b) ∧ ¬H(a, b))

Note: P ∧ ¬P is false. P ∧ f alse is P. Therefore, the above expression is simplified to

(L(b) ∧ H(a, b) ∧ ¬A(b))

U.I of ∀x(L(x) → A(x)) gives L(b) → A(b). The contrapositive of this is ¬A(b) → ¬L(b). Replace

¬A(b) in the above expression with ¬L(b). Thus, we get,

(L(b) ∧ H(a, b) ∧ ¬L(b)), this is again false.

This shows that our assumption that the conclusion is false is wrong. Therefore, the conclusion follows

from the premise.

These are the equations with exactly one solution

-5x + 12 = –12x – 12

-5x + 12 = 5x + 12

-5x + 12 = 5x – 5

Hope This Helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

First degree equations

A first degree equation has the form

ax + b = 0

There are some special cases where the equation can have one, infinitely many or no solution

If , the equation has exactly one solution

If a=0 and b=0 the equation has infinitely many solutions, because it doesn't matter the value of x, it will always be true that 0=0

If a=0 and  the equation has no solution, because it will be equivalent to b=0 and we are saying it's not true. No matter what x is, it's a false statement.

We have been given some equations, we only need to put them in standard form

-5x + 12 = –12x – 12

Rearranging

7x + 24 = 0

It has exactly one solution because a is not zero

.......................

-5x + 12 = 5x + 12

Rearranging

-10x + 0 = 0

It has exactly one solution because a is not zero

.......................

-5x + 12 = 5x – 5

Rearranging

-10x + 17 = 0

It has exactly one solution because a is not zero

.......................

-5x + 12 = -5x – 12

Rearranging

0x + 24 = 0

It has no solution, no matter what the value of x is, it's impossible that 24=0

Answer: These are the equations with exactly one solution

-5x + 12 = –12x – 12

-5x + 12 = 5x + 12

-5x + 12 = 5x – 5

What is trigonometric ratio?

Trigonometric ratio is used to show the relationship between the sides and angles of a right angled triangle.

Let h represent the height of the light house. At point A:

tan(10) = h / 796

h = 140.36 feet

At point B, let d represent the horizontal distance from B to light house:

tan(4) = 140.36/d

d = 2007 feet

The distance from A to B = 2007 - 796 = 1211 feet

Answer:

3/14

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = # of favorable outcomes / # of possible outcomes

Favorable outcomes = we want to find the probability of pulling a blue marble. There are 3 blue marbles so 3 is the number of favorable outcomes

Possible outcomes: to find the number of possible outcomes we simply find the total number of marbles

3 + 7 + 4 which equals 14

So possible outcomes = 14

We now plug in the values into the probability formula

The probability of pulling a blue marble is 3/14

Answer:

3/14

Step-by-step explanation:

you add the red marbles, blue marbles, and green marbles together, which equal 14. Out of the 14, there are only 3 blue marbles so it would be 3/14.

Answer: [tex]y=-\frac{1}{2} x+8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation of a line can be in slope intercept form which is y=mx+b

m is the slope, b is the y intercept, x it the x coordinate, and y is the y coordinate. Since we know the slope is -1/2 and we know a x coordinate is -4 and a y coordinate is 10 we can sub them in and solve for the value of b.

[tex]y=mx+b\\10=(-\frac{1}{2})(-4)+b\\10=2+b\\10-2=2+b-2\\8=b[/tex]

The value of b is 8. We can now sub it in for our equation of the line. This time with x and y as variables.

y=-1/2x+8

after 10 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of months and y be the amount they still owe.

Sin Ian borrows $1000 from his parents, then the y-intercept b= 1000 since he owes $1000 when x = 0. He pays them back $60 each month The slope is then m = -60 . Substituting in b = 1000 and m = -60 into the slope-intercept form of a line then gives y= mx + b=-60x +1000.

Sin Ken borrows $600 from his parents, then the y-intercept b = 600 since he owes $600 When x= 0. He pays them back $20 per month so the amount he owes decreases $20 each month. The slope is then m = -20 . Substituting in

b= 600 and m = -20 into the slope-intercept form then gives y = mx +b = -20x + 600.

They will owe the same amount when they have the same y-coordinate. Therefore -60x+ 1000= y= -20x+600. Solve this equation for x:

-60x+ 1000 = -20x+ 600

1000 = 40x+ 600

400 = 40x

10=x

They will then owe the same amount after 10 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

n : ___ 0 _____ 1 ____ 2 ____ 3 ____ 4

P(n) : 0.82___ 0.11 ___0.04 _0.02 ___0.01

The expected number of defect in a shipment can be obtained using the expected value formula :

Expected value, E(X) = Σx*p(x)

Σx*p(x) = (0*0.82) + (1*0.11) + (2*0.04) + (3*0.02) + (4*0.01)

E(X) = 0.29
