Consider an experiment in which a marble is tossed into a box whose base is shown in the figure. The probability that the marble will come to rest in the shaded portion of the box is equal to the ratio of the shaded area to the total area of the figure.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability that the marble comes to rest in the shaded region is equal to the ratio of the shaded area to the total area.

Probability 'P' = [tex]\frac{A'}{A}[/tex]

Area of the shaded region (A')= (x + 1)(x + 2)

Total area of the figure (A) = (2x + 1)(3x + 2)

P = [tex]\frac{(x+1)(x+2)}{(2x+1)(3x+2)}=\frac{3}{10}[/tex]

10(x + 1)(x + 2) = 3(2x + 1)(3x + 2)

10(x² + 3x + 2) = 3(6x² + 7x + 2)

10x² + 30x + 20 = 18x² + 21x + 6

(18x² - 10x²) + (21x - 30x) + (6 - 20) = 0

8x² - 9x - 14 = 0

x = [tex]\frac{9\pm\sqrt{(-9)^2-4(8)(-14)} }{2(8)}[/tex]

x = [tex]\frac{9\pm \sqrt{81+448}}{16}[/tex]

x = [tex]\frac{9\pm 23}{16}[/tex]

x = -[tex]\frac{7}{8}, 2[/tex]

Therefore, positive value of x = 2 will be the answer.

Find the area and the perimeter of the shaded regions below. Give your answer as a completely simplified exact value in terms of π (no approximations). The figures below are based on semicircles or quarter circles and problems b), c), and d) are involving portions of a square.

Answers

Answer:

 

Step-by-step explanation:

The shaded regions consist of a triangle and a semicircle

Area of shaded regions = Area of Triangle + Area of semicircle

Area of Triangle = (h x b) ÷ 2

Height, h = 10 cm

Base, b = 8 cm

Are of the triangle component = (10 x 8) ÷ 2

= 80 ÷ 2

= 40 cm^2

 Area of semicircle = πr^2 ÷ 2

Diameter, D = 8 cm

Radius, r = 8 cm ÷ 2 = 4 cm

Are of the semicircle component = [π(4^2) ÷ 2)

= 16π ÷ 2

= 16π cm^2

 Total area of shaded regions

= (40+16π) cm^2

= 8 (5 +2π) cm^2

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\sf Area = 8\pi + 40\ cm^2}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{\sf Perimeter = 4\pi + 22\ cm}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the figure:

Firstly: Area of semicircle:

[tex]\sf \frac{\pi r^2}{2} \\Where\ r = 4 \ cm\\\frac{\pi (4)^2}{2} \\\frac{16 \pi}{2}\\8 \pi \ cm^2[/tex]

Then Area of Triangle

[tex]\sf 1/2 (Base)(Height)\\1/2(10)(4)\\10*2\\20\ cm^2[/tex]

Area of Figure = Area of Semicircle + 2(Area of triangle)

=> 8π + 2(20)

=> 8π + 40 cm²

Perimeter of Semicircle:

Firstly, we'll have to find the hypotenuse

[tex]\sf c^2 = a^2+b^2\\c^2 = 4^2+10^2\\c^2 = 16+100\\c^2 = 116\\c = 11\ cm[/tex]

Then, Perimeter of the semi-circle:

=> πr

Where r = 4 cm

=> 4π

Now, the perimeter of the whole figure:

=> 4π + 2(11)

=> 4π + 22 cm

Answers

Answer: C) increase from 45 degrees to 50 degrees

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

Explanation:

Let's calculate the angle B based off the arcs CDF and GHJ

B = (far arc - near arc)/2

B = (arc CDF - arc GHJ)/2

B = (130 - 40)/2

B = 90/2

B = 45

----------

Now let's change GHJ to 30 degrees, while keeping the other arc the same.

B = (far arc - near arc)/2

B = (arc CDF - arc GHJ)/2

B = (130 - 30)/2

B = 100/2

B = 50

Angle B has increased from 45 degrees to 50 degrees.

m(arc)EF + m(arc)FG + m(arc)GH = m(arc)EH

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

It is 22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

add up all they shaded parts:

22.5 x 4 = 90 degrees

as each unshaded part is three times more then you do 22.5 x 3 for one part

22.5 x 3 = 67.5 degrees

then times by four because there is four unshaded sections.

67.5 x 4 = 270 degrees

270 + 90 = 360 degrees and there is 360 degrees in a circle so 22.5 degrees is the correct answer.

Answers

Answer:

The factorized expression is (-5) × (t - 2.747) ×(t - 1.747)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is -5·t² + 5·t + 24

To factorize the expression by completing the square method, we equate the expression to zero to get;

-5·t² + 5·t + 24 = 0

WE divide by -5 to get;

t² - t - 24/5 = 0

t² - t = 24/5

t² - t + 1/4 = 24/5 + 1/4

(t - 1/2)² = 5.05

t - 1/2 = ±√5.05

t = 1/2 + √5.05, 1/2 - √5.05

The factorized expression becomes;

(t - 1/2 + √5.05) and (t - 1/2 - √5.05)

Which gives;

(t - 2.747) ×(t - 1.747)

The factorized expression is (-5) × (t - 2.747) ×(t - 1.747).

Answers

Answer:

Ava's share = $20

Charlotte's share = $16

Step-by-step explanation:

15x + 12x = 36 : multiply each girl's age by same amount and adding gives $36

27x = 36 : add x terms

x = 36 / 27 : divide both sides of equation by 27

x = 4 / 3

Ava's share = 15x = 15 * 4/3 = 20

Charlotte's share = 12x = 12 * 4/3 = 16

PLEASE HELP How can a company use a scatter plot to make future sale decisions

Answers

Answer:

From scatter plot companies can predict future sales, and what will happen next. To help with this predictions most companies draw a line through the scattered plot called best-fit line. This line should be close to most of the points on the scattered line. Approximately half the point on the top of the line and half on the bottom.In this case the company will ignore the points tat far away from the line.

Scatter plots are useful to compare two variables to see how they relate to one another (if there is any relationship at all). One example could be comparing the temperature outside versus the sales of ice cream. The general trend is that the warmer it gets, the more sales you'll have. So there's an upward trend. We can also say there's a positive correlation as both variables go up together (or go down together).

Contrast this with negative correlation where one variable goes up and the other goes down (eg: hours spent watching tv versus exam score).

Of course, the ice cream example could be too simple and often overused, so it might be better to use something more specific to the company in question. If you picked a company dealing with health/medicine, then you could look at something like height versus weight and see if there's a correlation going on.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ishan’s age equal an unknown quantity we’ll call “x”.

An age 4 times Ishan’s would be 4 times x, written “4x”.

An age 6 years older than Ishan’s would be written “x+6”.

Now, through the magic of algebra, we can write an equation: 4x = x+6 . This means that “four times Ishan’s age is equal to his age plus six.”

The magic continues: you can subtract an”x” from each side of the equation. You can subtract any quantity from either side, but subtracting”x” will leave 6 on the right and “3x” on the left: 3x = 6.

Divide both sides by the same quantity: 3.

This will give you x =2. This indicates Ishan’s age is 2.

Answer:

Ishaan is 2 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create a systems of equations for this, assuming b is Ben's age and i is Ishaan's age.

[tex]b = 4i[/tex]

[tex]b = i+6[/tex]

Let's solve via substitution.

[tex]4i = i+6[/tex]

Subtract i from both sides:

[tex]3i = 6[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3:

[tex]i = 2[/tex]

So Ishaan is 2 years old. Ben is:

[tex]4(2) = 8[/tex] years old.

Martha estimated there were 86 marbles in a jar for a contest. The actual number of marbles in the jar was 108. What was the percent error of Martha's estimation?

Answers

Answer:

Roughly 20.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula of percent of error:

| Actual number - Guess / Actual number | (100)

The actual number is 108 and the guessed number is 86:

| 108 - 86 / 108 | (100)

= | 22/108 | (100)

= | 0.2037037037 | (100)

The vertical lines indicate absolute value.  This means that anything inside of it must be turned into its positive form.  Since it is already positive, just take the signs away:

0.2037037037(100)

≈ 0.204(100)

= 20.4

Turn this into a percent:

20.4%

Martha's percent of error is 20.4%
