Answer:

1) a) [tex]x = \frac{3}{2}\cdot a[/tex], b) [tex]x = 5-3\cdot a[/tex], c) [tex]x = -a[/tex], d) [tex]x = \frac{5}{2}\cdot a[/tex]

2) a) [tex]x = -\frac{3}{4}[/tex], b) [tex]x = -5[/tex], c) [tex]x = 3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

1) a) [tex]5\cdot x - a = x + 5\cdot a[/tex]

[tex]5\cdot x - x = 5\cdot a + a[/tex]

[tex]4\cdot x = 6\cdot a[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{3}{2}\cdot a[/tex]

b) [tex]4\cdot x + 3\cdot a = 3\cdot x + 5[/tex]

[tex]4\cdot x - 3\cdot x = 5 - 3\cdot a[/tex]

[tex]x = 5-3\cdot a[/tex]

c) [tex]2\cdot (3\cdot x - a) - 4\cdot (x-a) = 3\cdot (x+a)[/tex]

[tex]6\cdot x -2\cdot a -4\cdot x +4\cdot a = 3\cdot x +3\cdot a[/tex]

[tex]6\cdot x -4\cdot x -3\cdot x = 3\cdot a -4\cdot a +2\cdot a[/tex]

[tex]-x = a[/tex]

[tex]x = -a[/tex]

d) [tex]\frac{2\cdot x}{5} - \frac{x-2\cdot a}{3} = \frac{a}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{6\cdot x-5\cdot (x-2\cdot a)}{15} = \frac{a}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{6\cdot x - 5\cdot x+10\cdot a}{15} = \frac{a}{2}[/tex]

[tex]2\cdot (x+10\cdot a) = 15 \cdot a[/tex]

[tex]2\cdot x = 5\cdot a[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{5}{2}\cdot a[/tex]

2) a) [tex]\frac{3}{x} + \frac{5}{x+2} = 0[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3\cdot (x+2)+5\cdot x}{x\cdot (x+2)} = 0[/tex]

[tex]3\cdot (x+2) + 5\cdot x = 0[/tex]

[tex]3\cdot x +6 +5\cdot x = 0[/tex]

[tex]8\cdot x = - 6[/tex]

[tex]x = -\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

b) [tex]\frac{7}{x-2} = \frac{5}{x}[/tex]

[tex]7\cdot x = 5\cdot (x-2)[/tex]

[tex]7\cdot x = 5\cdot x -10[/tex]

[tex]2\cdot x = -10[/tex]

[tex]x = -5[/tex]

c) [tex]\frac{2}{x-3}-\frac{4\cdot x}{x^{2}-9} = \frac{7}{x+3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2}{x-3} - \frac{4\cdot x}{(x+3)\cdot (x-3)} = \frac{7}{x+3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{x-3}\cdot \left(2-\frac{4\cdot x}{x+3} \right) = \frac{7}{x+3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x+3}{x-3}\cdot \left[\frac{2\cdot (x+3)-4\cdot x}{x+3} \right] = 7[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2\cdot (x+3)-4\cdot x}{x-3} = 7[/tex]

[tex]2\cdot (x+3) -4\cdot x = 7\cdot (x-3)[/tex]

[tex]2\cdot x + 6 - 4\cdot x = 7\cdot x -21[/tex]

[tex]2\cdot x - 4\cdot x -7\cdot x = -21-6[/tex]

[tex]-9\cdot x = -27[/tex]

[tex]x = 3[/tex]

Answer:

Solution : y = 4x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we want to do is isolate t², rather than t. Why? As you can see when we substitute t² into the second equation, it will be easier than substituting t, as t is present in the form t². So, let's isolate t² in the first equation --- ( 1 )

x = t² + 2,

t² = x - 2

Now let's substitute this value of t² in the second equation --- ( 2 )

y = 4t²,

y = 4(x - 2),

y = 4x - 8 ~ And hence our solution is option c.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a left-hand limit, we start at the left side and move right, and see where the function goes as we get close to the x value.

For a right-hand limit, we start at the right side and move left, and see where the function goes as we get close to the x value.

If the two limits are equal, then the limit exists.  Otherwise, it doesn't.

1.  As we approach x = 2 from the left, f(x) approaches -2.

lim(x→2⁻) f(x) = -2

As we approach x = 2 from the right, f(x) approaches 1.

lim(x→2⁺) f(x) = 1

The limits are not the same, so the limit does not exist.

lim(x→2) f(x) = DNE

2. As we approach x = 2 from the left, f(x) approaches 4.

lim(x→2⁻) f(x) = 4

As we approach x = 2 from the right, f(x) approaches 2.

lim(x→2⁺) f(x) = 2

The limits are not the same, so the limit does not exist.

lim(x→2) f(x) = DNE

3. As we approach x = 2 from the left, f(x) approaches 2.

lim(x→2⁻) f(x) = 2

As we approach x = 2 from the right, f(x) approaches 2.

lim(x→2⁺) f(x) = 2

The limits are equal, so the limit exists.

lim(x→2) f(x) = 2

4. As we approach x = 2 from the left, f(x) approaches 2.

lim(x→2⁻) f(x) = 2

As we approach x = 2 from the right, f(x) approaches infinity.

lim(x→2⁺) f(x) = ∞

The limits are not the same, so the limit does not exist.

lim(x→2) f(x) = DNE

n=1  2(1) = 2

n=2  2(2) = 4

n=3  2(3) = 6

n=4  2(4) = 8

The sum is add

2+4+6+8

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the value of [tex]\Sigma_{x=0}^3\ 2x^2[/tex]

We know that,

[tex]\Sigma n^2=\dfrac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}[/tex]

Here, n = 3

So,

[tex]\Sigma n^2=\dfrac{3(3+1)(2(3)+1)}{6}\\\\\Sigma n^2=14[/tex]

So,

[tex]\Sigma_{x=0}^3\ 2x^2=2\times 14\\\\=28[/tex]

So, the value of [tex]\Sigma_{x=0}^3\ 2x^2[/tex] is 28. Hence, the correct option is (d).

Now, it look like there is some information missing in the answer. The whole problem should look like this:

Alicia Keys's new album As I Am is climbing the charts, and the manager of Tip Top Tunes expects to sell a lot of copies. Because she has limited shelf space, she can't put out all her copies of the CD at once. On Monday morning, she stocked the display with 40 copies. By the end of the day, some of the copies had been sold. On Tuesday morning, she counted the number of copies left and then added that many more to the shelf. In other words, she doubled the number that was left in the display. At the end of the day, she discovered that she had sold the exact same number of copies as had been sold on Monday. On Wednesday morning, the manager decided to triple the number of copies that had been left in the case after Tuesday. Amazingly, she sold the same number of copies on Wednesday as she had on each of the first two days! But this time, at the end of the day the display case was empty. How many copies of the As I Am CD did she sell each day?

Answer:

She sold 24 copies of the cd each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must first set our variable up. In this case, since we need to know what the number of sold cd's per day is, that will just be our variable:

x= Number of copies sold.

So we can start setting our equation up. So we take the first part of the problem:

"On Monday morning, she stocked the display with 40 copies. By the end of the day, some of the copies had been sold."

This can be translated as:

40-x

where this expression represents the number of copies left on the shelf by the end of monday.

"On Tuesday morning, she counted the number of copies left and then added that many more to the shelf."

so we represent it like this:

(40-x)+(40-x)

"In other words, she doubled the number that was left in the display."

so the previous expression can be simplified like this:

2(40-x)

"At the end of the day, she discovered that she had sold the exact same number of copies as had been sold on Monday."

so the expression now turns to:

2(40-x)-x   this is the number of copies left by the end of tuesday.

"On Wednesday morning, the manager decided to triple the number of copies that had been left in the case after Tuesday."

this translates to:

3[2(40-x)-x]

This is the number of copies on the shelf by the begining of Wednesday.

"Amazingly, she sold the same number of copies on Wednesday as she had on each of the first two days! But this time, at the end of the day the display case was empty."

this piece of information lets us finish writting our equation:

3[2(40-x)-x] -x = 0

since there were no copies left on the shelf, then the equation is equal to zero.

So now we proceed and solve the equation for x:

3[2(40-x)-x] -x = 0

We simplify it from the inside to the outside.

3[80-2x-x]-x=0

3[80-3x]-x = 0

we now distribute the 3 so we get:

240-9x-x=0

we combine like terms so we get:

240-10x=0

we move the 240 to the other side of the equation so we get:

-10x=-240

and divide both sides into -10 so we get:

x=24

so she sold 24 copies each day.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sinα=−2/3, before we can get secα, we need to get the value of α first from  sinα=−2/3.

[tex]sin \alpha = -2/3[/tex]

Taking the arcsin of both sides

[tex]sin^{-1}(sin\alpha) = sin^{-1} -2/3\\ \\\alpha = sin^{-1} -2/3\\ \\\alpha = -41.8^0[/tex]

Since sin is negative in the 3rd and 4th quadrant. In the 3rd quadrant;

α = 180°+41.8°

α = 221.8° which is between the range 270°<α<360°

secα = sec 221.8°

secα = 1/cos 221.8

secα = 1.34

Hey there!

We can use the midpoint formula to find that the midpoint is (-1, -9).

Let me know if this helps :)

The midpoint of the segment between the points (8,−10) and (−10,−8) will be (−1, −9). Then the correct option is A.

What is the midpoint of line segment AB?

Let C be the mid-point of the line segment AB.

A = (x₁, y₁)

B = (x₂, y₂)

C = (x, y)

Then the midpoint will be

x = (x₁ + x₂) / 2

y = (y₁ + y₂) / 2

The midpoint of the segment between the points (8,−10) and (−10,−8)

x = (8 – 10) / 2

x = –1

y = (– 10 – 8) / 2

y = –9

Then the correct option is A.

Answer:

[tex]\text{Critical Region} = z<-1.96\ \text{or}\ z>1.96[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A test for the difference between two population means is to be performed.

As the population variances are known, the z-test will be used.

The hypothesis can be defined as follows:

H₀: μ₁ = μ₂ vs. Hₐ: μ₁ ≠ μ₂

Assume that the significance level of the test is, α = 0.05.

The critical region can be defined as follows:

The critical value of z for α = 0.05 is:

[tex]z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025} =-1.96\\\\z_{1-\alpha/2}=z_{1-0.05/2}=z_{0.975} =1.96[/tex]

Answer:

The null hypothesis [tex]\mathtt{H_0 : \mu = 26500}[/tex]

The alternative hypothesis [tex]\mathtt{H_1 : \mu \neq 26500}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The summary of the given statistics is:

Population Mean = 26,500

Sample Mean = 30,150

Standard deviation = 10560

sample size = 24

The objective is to state the null hypothesis and the alternate hypothesis.

An hypothesis is a claim with  insufficient information which tends to be challenged into  further testing and experimentation in order to determine if such claim is significant or not.

The null hypothesis is a default hypothesis where there is no statistical significance between the two variables in the hypothesis.

The alternative hypothesis is the research hypothesis that the  researcher is trying to prove.

The null hypothesis [tex]\mathtt{H_0 : \mu = 26500}[/tex]

The alternative hypothesis [tex]\mathtt{H_1 : \mu \neq 26500}[/tex]

The test statistic can be  computed as follows:

[tex]z = \dfrac{\overline X - \mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \dfrac{30150 - 26500}{\dfrac{10560}{\sqrt{24}}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \dfrac{3650}{\dfrac{10560}{4.8989}}[/tex]

[tex]z = \dfrac{3650 \times 4.8989 }{{10560}}[/tex]

z = 1.6933

Answer:

The width is  [tex]w = 282.8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The sample size is n =  50

  The  population standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = \$ 1000[/tex]

   The sample size is  [tex]\= x = \$ 15,000[/tex]

Given that the confidence level is  90%  then the level of significance can be mathematically represented as

             [tex]\alpha = 100 - 90[/tex]  

             [tex]\alpha = 10 \%[/tex]  

              [tex]\alpha = 0.10[/tex]

Next we obtain the critical value of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the  normal distribution table, the value is  

             [tex]Z_{\frac{0.10 }{2} } = 1.645[/tex]

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

               [tex]E = Z_{\frac{0.10}{2} } * \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

substituting values

                 [tex]E = 1.645 * \frac{1000 }{\sqrt{50 }}[/tex]

=>                [tex]E = 141.42[/tex]

  The width of the 90%  confidence level is mathematically represented as

                      [tex]w = 2 * E[/tex]

substituting values

                       [tex]w = 2 * 141.42[/tex]

                       [tex]w = 282.8[/tex]

X= 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

7^2x+3 =2401

7^(2x+3 )=2401

7^(2x+3 )= 7^4

Taking away the base because its equal to 7

Then solving the power as an equation

2x+3= 4

2x= 4-3

2x= 1

X=1/2

Now substituting x into the equation to know if we are correct

7^(2x+3 )=2401

Where x= 1/2

7^(2*(1/2) +3)= 7^4

7^(1+3)= 7^4

7^4= 7^4

7^4= 2401

The value of x is 10.

We have a circle and inside it two chords MY and NT intersect at point H.

We have to find the value of x in the figure.

According to the intersecting chord theorem, when two chords say AB and CD intersect at point O, then

AO x OB = CO x OD

Applying the chord intersecting theorem to the figure in the question, we get -

MH x HY = NH x HT

12 x 20 = (x+20) x 8

240 = 8x + 160

8x = 80

x = 10

[tex](f/g)(x) = \frac{x + 5}{3x + 5} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3x² + 10x - 25

g(x) = 9x² - 25

To find (f/g)(x) divide f(x) by g(x)

That's

[tex](f/g)(x) = \frac{3 {x}^{2} + 10x - 25 }{9 {x}^{2} - 25 } [/tex]

Factorize both the numerator and the denominator

For the numerator

3x² + 10x - 25

3x² + 15x - 5x - 25

3x ( x + 5) - 5( x + 5)

(3x - 5 ) ( x + 5)

For the denominator

9x² - 25

(3x)² - 5²

Using the formula

a² - b² = ( a + b)(a - b)

(3x)² - 5² = (3x + 5)(3x - 5)

So we have

[tex](f/g)(x) = \frac{(3x - 5)(x + 5)}{(3x + 5)(3x - 5)} [/tex]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The box contains 5 red and 4 white balls.

A) The probability that at least 1 ball was​ red = P(both are red) + P(first is red and second is white) + P(first is white second is red)

Given that the first ball was (Upper A )Replaced before the second draw:

P(both are red) = P(red) × P(red) = 5/9 × 5/9 = 25/81

P(first is red and second is white) = P(red) × P(white) = 5/9 × 4/9 = 20/81

P(first is white and second is red) = P(white) × P(red) = 4/9 × 5/9 = 20/81

The probability that at least 1 ball was​ red = 25/81 + 20/81 + 20/81 = 65/81

B) The probability that at least 1 ball was​ red = P(both are red) + P(first is red and second is white) + P(first is white second is red)

Given that the first ball was not Replaced before the second draw:

P(both are red) = P(red) × P(red) = 5/9 × 4/8 = 20/72 (since it was not replaced after the first draw the number of red ball remaining would be 4 and the total ball remaining would be 8)

P(first is red second is white) = P(red) × P(white) = 5/9 × 4/8 = 20/72

P(first is white and second is red) = P(white) × P(red) = 4/9 × 5/8 = 20/72

The probability that at least 1 ball was​ red = 20/72 + 20/72 + 20/72 = 60/72

y = (9/4)x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept is (4, 0) and the y-intercept is (0, -9).

As we move from (0, -9) to (4, 0), x (the 'run' increases by 4 and y (the 'rise' increases by 9.  Thus, the slope of the line connecting these two points is m = rise/run = 9/4, from which we can write the desired equation in the form y = mx + b:

y = (9/4)x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

C = Amount (A) - Principal (P)

Where

C is the compound interest

To find the amount we use the formula

[tex]A = P ({1 + \frac{r}{100} })^{n} [/tex]

where

P is the principal

r is the rate

n is the period / time

From the question

P = Rs 12, 000

r = 5%

n = 3 years

Substitute the values into the above formula

That's

[tex]A = 12000 ({1 + \frac{5}{100} })^{3} \\ A = 12000(1 + 0.05)^{3} \\ A = 12000 ({1.05})^{3} [/tex]

We have the answer as

Compound interest = 13891.50 - 12000

  6n = 270

  n = 45

  4n = 180

  n+100 = 145

The three numbers are 45, 180, 145.
