Answer:
[tex] f(x) = 4x^2 - 3x + 6 [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Quadratic function is given as [tex] f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c [/tex]
Let's find a, b and c:
Substituting (0, 6):
[tex] 6 = a(0)^2 + b(0) + c [/tex]
[tex] 6 = 0 + 0 + c [/tex]
[tex] c = 6 [/tex]
Now that we know the value of c, let's derive 2 system of equations we would use to solve for a and b simultaneously as follows.
Substituting (2, 16), and c = 6
[tex] f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c [/tex]
[tex] 16 = a(2)^2 + b(2) + 6 [/tex]
[tex] 16 = 4a + 2b + 6 [/tex]
[tex] 16 - 6 = 4a + 2b + 6 - 6 [/tex]
[tex] 10 = 4a + 2b [/tex]
[tex] 10 = 2(2a + b) [/tex]
[tex] \frac{10}{2} = \frac{2(2a + b)}{2} [/tex]
[tex] 5 = 2a + b [/tex]
[tex] 2a + b = 5 [/tex] => (Equation 1)
Substituting (3, 33), and c = 6
[tex] f(x) = ax^2 + bx + x [/tex]
[tex] 33 = a(3)^2 + b(3) + 6 [/tex]
[tex] 33 = 9a + 3b + 6 [/tex]
[tex] 33 - 6 = 9a + 3b + 6 - 6 [/tex]
[tex] 27 = 9a + 3b [/tex]
[tex] 27 = 3(3a + b) [/tex]
[tex] \frac{27}{3} = \frac{3(3a + b)}{3} [/tex]
[tex] 9 = 3a + b [/tex]
[tex] 3a + b = 9 [/tex] => (Equation 2)
Subtract equation 1 from equation 2 to solve simultaneously for a and b.
[tex] 3a + b = 9 [/tex]
[tex] 2a + b = 5 [/tex]
[tex] a = 4 [/tex]
Replace a with 4 in equation 2.
[tex] 2a + b = 5 [/tex]
[tex] 2(4) + b = 5 [/tex]
[tex] 8 + b = 5 [/tex]
[tex] 8 + b - 8 = 5 - 8 [/tex]
[tex] b = -3 [/tex]
The quadratic function that represents the given 3 points would be as follows:
[tex] f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c [/tex]
[tex] f(x) = (4)x^2 + (-3)x + 6 [/tex]
[tex] f(x) = 4x^2 - 3x + 6 [/tex]

A Ferris wheel has a diameter of 42 feet it rotates 3 times per minute approximately how far will a passenger travel during a 5 minute ride
Answer:
1978.2 or 630π feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The Ferris wheel will rotate 3 * 5 = 15 times during the 5 minute ride and the radius is 42 / 2 = 21 feet. Since C = 2πr, r = 21 and π ≈ 3.14, C = 2 * 3.14 * 21 = 131.88. However, this only accounts for one rotation so the answer is 131.88 * 15 = 1978.2 or 630π feet.
Which of the following could be the equation of the line passing through (8, 3) parallel to y = -2.
Answer:
y = 3 passes through (8, 3) and is therefore parallel to y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Any line parallel to y = -2 is a horizontal one, and it has the same slope (zero) as does y = -2.
We could invent the horizontal line y = 3 (which comes from the point (8, 3) and surmise that it is parallel to the given line y = -2.
Thus, y = 3 passes through (8, 3) and is therefore parallel to y = -2.

For this year's fundraiser, students at a certain school who sell at least 75 magazine subscriptions win a prize. If the fourth grade students at this school sell an average (arithmetic mean) of 47 subscriptions per student, the sales are normally distributed, and have a standard deviation of 14, then approximately what percent of the fourth grade students receive a prize
Answer:
The percentage is k = 2.3%
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The population mean is [tex]\mu = 47[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma = 14[/tex]
Given that the sales are normally distributed and that students at a certain school who sell at least 75 magazine subscriptions win a prize then the percent of the fourth grade students receive a prize is mathematically represented as
[tex]P(X > 75) = P(\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } > \frac{75 - \mu }{\sigma })[/tex]
Generally
[tex]\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } = Z (The \ standardized \ value \ of \ X )[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X > 75) = P(Z > \frac{75 - 47 }{14 })[/tex]
[tex]P(X > 75) = P(Z > 2)[/tex]
From the standardized normal distribution table
[tex]P(Z > 2) =0.023[/tex]
=> [tex]P(X > 75) = 0.023[/tex]
The percentage of the fourth grade students receive a prize is
k = 0.023 * 100
k = 2.3%
paul worked 50 hours last week. if he earns $10 per hour plus time-and-a-half for any hours worked beyond 40 in a week, how much did he earn last week?
Answer: 4150
Step-by-step explanation:
You take the 50, becuse the amount earned increases once you surpass 40 you do 40 x 10 and that = 4000 then you take the remaining 10 and times that by 15 (becuse after 40 it is 1.5 of what you where earning before you hit 40 hours and half of ten is 5 so you do 10 plus 5 and times that by 10) then add both numbers together and you have 4150!

Answer:
24 = x+6
x = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
N = 24
T = x
N = x+6
24 = x+6
Subtract 6 from each side
24-6 = x+6-6
18 = x
Time has 6 marbles
Nirja has 6 more than Tim,
So you can subtract 6 from 24 to find x:
24-6 = x
Or you can add 6 to x to equal 24:
x + 6 = 24
You don't list the choices but it should be one of these.
Solve:
24 - 6 = x
x = 18

In a genetic experiment on peas, one sample of offspring contained 436 green peas and 171 yellow peas. Based on those results, estimate the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green. Is the result reasonably close to the value of 3/4 that was expected? The probability of getting a green pea is approximately: Is the probability reasonably close to 3/4?
Answer:
The probability is [tex]P(g) =0.72[/tex]
Yes the result is reasonably close
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The number of of green peas is [tex]g = 436[/tex]
The number of yellow peas is [tex]y = 171[/tex]
The sample size is [tex]n = 171 + 436 = 607[/tex]
The probability of getting an offspring pea that is green is mathematically represented as
[tex]P(g) = \frac{g}{n}[/tex]
[tex]P(g) = \frac{436}{607}[/tex]
[tex]P(g) =0.72[/tex]
Comparing [tex]P(g) =0.72[/tex] to [tex]\frac{3}{4} = 0.75[/tex] we see that the result is reasonably close

Answer:
Error : The expression ( 4 + x )² was expanded incorrectly.
Correct Solution : x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The planning of the solution is correct, by Pythagorean Theorem you can say that PQ² + QO² = PO², and hence through substitution x² + 8² = ( 4 + x )². Let's look into the calculations.
PQ² + QO² = PO²,
x² + 8² = ( 4 + x )²,
x² + 8² = 16 + 8x + x²,
64 = 16 + 8x,
48 = 8x,
x = 48 / 8 = 6, x = 6
As you can see, the only error in the calculations was expanding the expression ( 4 + x )². ( 4 + x )² = 4² + 2 [tex]*[/tex] 4 [tex]*[/tex] x + x² = 4² + 8x + x² = 16 + 8x + x², not 16 + 4x + x².

The force of gravity on an object varies directly with its mass. The constant of variation due to gravity is 32.2 feet per second squared. Which equation represents F, the force on an object due to gravity according to m, the object’s mass? F = 16.1m F = F equals StartFraction 16.1 Over m squared EndFraction. F = 32.2m F = F equals StartFraction 32.2 Over m squared EndFraction.
Answer:
F = 32.2mStep-by-step explanation:
According to newton second law, the force of gravity on an object varies directly with its mass and it is expressed mathematically as Fαm i.e
F = mg where;
F is the force of gravity
m is the mass of the body
g is the proportionality constant known as the acceleration due to gravity.
If the constant of variation due to gravity is 32.2ft/s², the equation that represents F, the force on an object due to gravity according to m, the object’s mass can be gotten by substituting g = 32.2 into the formula above according to the law as shown;
F = m*32.2
F =32.2m
Hence the required equation is F = 32.2m

Step-by-step explanation:
Luke owns a trucking company. For every truck that goes out, Luke must pay the driver $17 per hour of driving and also has an expense of $1.75 per mile driven for gas and maintenance. On one particular day, the driver drove an average of 40 miles per hour and Luke's total expenses for the driver, gas and truck maintenance were $522. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of hours the driver worked and the number of miles the truck drove. Define the variables that you use to write the system.
Answer:
17h+1.75m=522 m=40h
Step-by-step explanation:
Let h= {the number of hours the driver drove}
Let m= the number of miles driven
The driver makes $17 for each hour working, so if the driver worked for hh hours, Luke would have to pay him 17h17h dollars. The cost of gas and maintenance is $1.75 per mile, so for mm miles Luke's costs would be 1.75m1.75m dollars. The total cost of the route 17h+1.75m17h+1.75m equals \$522:$522:
17h+1.75m=522
17h+1.75m=522
Since the driver drove an avearge of 40 miles per hour, if the driver drove hour, he would have driven 40 miles, and if the driver drove hh hours, he would have driven 40h40h miles, therefore mm equals 40h:40h:
m=40h
m=40h
Write System of Equations:
17h+1.75m= 522
m=40h
The truck is going for a run for 6 hours and the system of the equation to solve a further problem related to this is [tex]\rm{Cost}=17x+1.75y[/tex]
The following are the different costs of the truck that Luke must be pay while running a truck:
Luke must pay the driver $17 per hour of driving.A truck has an expense of $1.75 per mile driven for gas and maintenance.Let ' x ' be the total time of driving a truck in hours.
and ' y ' be the total mile distance that is covered by the truck.
Therefore, the system of the equation for the overall running cost for a truck is given below.
[tex]\rm{Cost}=17x+1.75y[/tex]
Now, On one particular day, the driver drove an average of 40 miles per hour, and Luke's total expenses for the driver, gas and truck maintenance were $522.
Thus,
The total distance traveled by truck is 40x.
That is,
[tex]y=40x[/tex]
Substitute the values and solve them further.
[tex]522=17x+1.75y\\522=17x+1.75 \times 40x\\522=17x+70x\\522=87x\\x=6[/tex]
Thus, the truck is going for a run for 6 hours and the system of the equation to solve the further problems related to this is [tex]\rm{Cost}=17x+1.75y[/tex]

As per my experience,I used to hate math and always scored less marks,the moment I was going to high school I realized the importance of math towards the future, see you'll find maths in nearly all subjects like the 3 sciences, economics, geography, business e.t.c
Why did you write this question at first?, just take some free time and think about it,the only best way to learn maths is to take maths positively as the best and most valuable subject,if you want to ace math you have to race it, challenge math like you'd challenge anyone to a game, practice math if it's your weakest point, practice is very much needed to skill maths and never be shy to ask your teachers whether you are studying online/offline. You'll need to get the shy behaviour out of you whether you like /don't like your teacher or your an average student.
Concentrate while learning math, whether there's noise in you background or not, Nothing can stop you in excelling math if you have full concentration, positiveness and the "will" to do so.

musah stands at the center of a rectangular field . He first takes 50 steps north, then 25 step west and finally 50 steps on a bearing of 315°. How far west and how far north is Musah final point from the center?
Answer:
85.36 far north from the center
10.36 far east from the center
Step-by-step explanation:
The extra direction taken in the north side is x
X/sin(360-315)=50/sin 90
Sin 90= 1
X/sin 45= 50
X= sin45 *50
X= 0.7071*50
X= 35.355 steps
X= 35.36
Then the west direction traveled
West =√(50² - 35.355²)
West = √(2500-1249.6225)
West= √1250.3775
West= 35.36 steps
But this was taken in an opposite west direction
From the center
He is 35.36 +50
= 85.36 far north from the center
And
25-35.36=-10.36
10.36 far east from the center
A circle has center (3, -5) and the point (-1, -8) lies on the circumference of the circle. What is the equation of the circle in Standard Form?
Answer:
[tex] {(x - 3)}^{2} + {(y + 5)}^{2} = {5}^{2} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the radius
Which is the distance between the 2 points.
Radius =5
The answer in the standad form is above.
The equation of the circle in Standard Form is (x - 3)² + (y + 5)² = 25
The standard equation of a circle is given as:
(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²
where (a, b) is the center of the circle and r is the radius of the circle.
Given the center as (3, -5) hence the radius of the circle is the distance between (3, -5) and (-1, -8). Hence:
[tex]Radius=\sqrt{(-8-(-5))^2+(-1-3)^2} \\\\Radius=5\ units\\[/tex]
hence:
(x - 3)² + (y - (-5))² = 5²
(x - 3)² + (y + 5)² = 25
The equation of the circle in Standard Form is (x - 3)² + (y + 5)² = 25

The radius of a sphere is measured as 7 centimeters, with a possible error of 0.025 centimeter.
Required:
a. Use differentials to approximate the possible propagated error, in cm3, in computing the volume of the sphere.
b. Use differentials to approximate the possible propagated error in computing the surface area of the sphere.
c. Approximate the percent errors in parts (a) and (b).
Answer:
a) dV(s) = 15,386 cm³
b) dS(s) = 4,396 cm²
c) dV(s)/V(s) = 1,07 % and dS(s)/ S(s) = 0,71 %
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The volume of the sphere is
V(s) = (4/3)*π*x³ where x is the radius
Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get:
dV(s)/ dr = 4*π*x² or
dV(s) = 4*π*x² *dr
the possible propagated error in cm³ in computing the volume of the sphere is:
dV(s) = 4*3,14*(7)²*(0,025)
dV(s) = 15,386 cm³
b) Surface area of the sphere is:
V(s) = (4/3)*π*x³
dV(s) /dx = S(s) = 4*π*x³
And
dS(s) /dx = 8*π*x
dS(s) = 8*π*x*dx
dS(s) = 8*3,14*7*(0,025)
dS(s) = 4,396 cm²
c) The approximates errors in a and b are:
V(s) = (4/3)*π*x³ then
V(s) = (4/3)*3,14*(7)³
V(s) = 1436,03 cm³
And the possible propagated error in volume is from a) is
dV(s) = 15,386 cm³
dV(s)/V(s) = [15,386 cm³/1436,03 cm³]* 100
dV(s)/V(s) = 1,07 %
And for case b)
dS(s) = 4,396 cm²
And the surface area of the sphere is:
S(s) = 4*π*x³ ⇒ S(s) = 4*3,14*(7)² ⇒ S(s) = 615,44 cm²
dS(s) = 4,396 cm²
dS(s)/ S(s) = [ 4,396 cm²/615,44 cm² ] * 100
dS(s)/ S(s) = 0,71
Marco purchased a large box of comic books for $300. He gave 15 of the comic books to his brother and then sold the rest on an internet website for $330 making a profit , making a profit of $1.50 on each one.how many comic books were in the box? what was the original price of each comic book (assuming they all cost the same amount)?
Answer: There are 75 books.
Price of each book = $4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = Number of books in the box.
Then as per given,
Cost of x books = $300
Cost of one book = [tex]\$(\dfrac{300}x)[/tex]
Books left after giving 15 of them = x-15
Selling price of (x-15) books= $330
Selling price of one book = [tex]\$(\dfrac{330}{x-15})[/tex]
Profit on each book= $1.50
Profit = selling price - cost price
[tex]\Rightarrow 1.50=\dfrac{330}{x-15}-\dfrac{300}{x}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50=\dfrac{330(x)-300(x-15)}{x(x-15)}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50=\dfrac{330x-300x+4500}{x^2-15x}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50(x^2-15x)=30x+4500\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50x^2-22.5x=30x+4500\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50x^2-52.5x-4500=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.50x^2-52.5x-4500=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-25x-3000=0\ \ [\text{divide by 1.5}][/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow (x+40)(x-75)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=-40,75[/tex]
Number of books cannot be negative.
So, there are 75 books.
Price of each book = [tex]\dfrac{300}{75}=\$4[/tex]
So price of each book = $4.
The Tran family and the Green family each used their sprinklers last summer. The water output rate for the Tran family's sprinkler was 35L per hour. The water output rate for the Green family's sprinkler was 40L per hour. The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 50 hours, resulting in a total water output of 1900L. How long was each sprinkler used?
Answer:
Tran family's sprinkler was used for 20 hours
Green's family's sprinkler was used for 30 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the hours for which Tran family's sprinkler used is x hours
water output rate for the Tran family's sprinkler = 35L per hour
water output from Tran family's sprinkler in x hours = 35*x L = 35x
Let the hours for which Green family's sprinkler used is y hours
water output rate for the Green family's sprinkler = 40L per hour
water output from Green family's sprinkler in x hours = 40*y L = 40y
Given
The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 50 hours
thus
x + y = 50 -------------------equation 1
y = 50-x
total water output of 1900L
35x+40y = 1900 -------------------equation 1
using y = 50-x in equation 2, we have
35x + 40(50-x) = 1900
35x + 2000 - 40x = 1900
=> -5x = 1900 - 2000 = -100
=> x = -100/-5 = 20
y = 50-20 = 30
Thus,
Tran family's sprinkler was used for 20 hours
Green's family's sprinkler was used for 30 hours
4. Identify the means and the extremes in each of the following proportions.
a. 4 : 24 = 2 : 12
b. 24/6 = 164
c. 4:8 = 8:16
d. 650 = 3/25
Answer:
a) Means: 24 and 2; Extremes: 4 and 12
b) Means: 6 and 16; Extremes: 24 and 4
c) Means: 8 and 8; Extremes: 4 and 16
d) Means: 50 and 3; Extremes: 6 and 25
Step-by-step explanation:
The Means and Extremes in a proportion are defined based on the writing the proportion in one lie using colons the indicate the fraction, like in:
a : b = c : d The extremes values here are those that you see at the extreme left and extreme right of that expression. That is: a, and d.
The Means are the values that appear in the middle of the one line expression, that is: b and c.
Recall as well that the proportion can also be written with fractions:
a : b = c : d is the same as: a / b = c / d
so convert the expression to a one line with colons when the question comes in fraction form, and that way you can answer.
