Answer:
Imperfect substitutes
explanation:
The choices above are not perfect substitutes, meaning they can not be perfectly or directly replace the other. Imperfect substitutes are close substitutes but not perfect substitutes. Unlike perfect substitutes, imperfect substitutes satisfies same utility but has different characteristics and therefore not entirely substitutable. For example, while one may want to have the 40 marks too, he'd rather have 60 marks even if the criteria for a 60 mark score was increasingly hard.
3x + ky = 8
X – 2ky = 5
are simultaneous equations where k is a constant.
b) Given that y = 1/2 determine the value of k.
Answer:
(a): x is 3 and ky is -1
(b): k is -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let: 3x + ky = 8 be equation (a)
x - 2 ky = 5 be equation (b)
Then multiply equation (a) by 2:
→ 6x + 2ky = 16, let it be equation (c)
Then equation (c) + equation (b):
[tex] { \sf{(6 + 1)x + (2 - 2)ky = (16 + 5)}} \\ { \sf{7x = 21}} \\ { \sf{x = 3}}[/tex]
Then ky :
[tex]{ \sf{2ky = 3 - 5}} \\ { \sf{ky = - 1}}[/tex]
[tex]{ \bf{y = \frac{1}{2} }} \\ { \sf{ky = - 1}} \\ { \sf{k = - 2}}[/tex]
Simultaneous equations are used to represent a system of related equations.
The value of k when [tex]y = \frac 12[/tex] is -2
Given that:
[tex]3x + ky = 8[/tex]
[tex]x - 2ky = 5[/tex]
[tex]y = \frac 12[/tex]
Substitute [tex]y = \frac 12[/tex] in both equations
[tex]3x + ky = 8[/tex]
[tex]3x + k \times \frac 12 = 8[/tex]
[tex]3x + \frac k2 = 8[/tex]
[tex]x - 2ky = 5[/tex]
[tex]x - 2k \times \frac 12 = 5[/tex]
[tex]x - k = 5[/tex]
Make x the subject in [tex]x - k = 5[/tex]
[tex]x = 5 + k[/tex]
Substitute [tex]x = 5 + k[/tex] in [tex]3x + \frac k2 = 8[/tex]
[tex]3(5 + k) + \frac k2 = 8[/tex]
Open bracket
[tex]15 + 3k + \frac k2 = 8[/tex]
Multiply through by 2
[tex]30 + 6k + k = 16[/tex]
[tex]30 + 7k = 16[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex]7k = 16 - 30[/tex]
[tex]7k = - 14[/tex]
Divide both sides by 7
[tex]k = -2[/tex]
Hence, the value of constant k is -2.

Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the fraction of Cheryl's income she spent in September. Then 1-x is the fraction she saved.
In October, her spending increased by 0.2x, and her savings decreased by 0.4(1 -x). Since Cheryl spends or saves all of her income, these two change amounts must be equal:
0.2x = 0.4(1 -x)
x = 2(1 -x) . . . . . . multiply by 5 to clear fractions
x = 2 -2x . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
3x = 2 . . . . . . . . add 2x
x = 2/3 . . . . . . divide by 3
Cheryl spent 2/3 of her income in September.

Answer:
The distribution is positively skewed.
Step-by-step explanation:
It's not symmetric because the distribution in the chart isn't equally shown or marked. It's not negative skewed either because for it to be negative the graph would have to go down in a negative direction, usually the left, but in the picture you posted the graph is going down in the right direction. Lastly, positively skewed graphs or charts look like the one you posted. They go down in the right direction, hence why they're called "positively" skewed. The right tail of the distribution is longer in positively skewed graphs or charts.
Mahmoud earns $450 per week plus a 20% commission as a car salesman. He wants his
hourly salary to be at least $35.
The inequality that relates the number of hours to the weekly sales is:
[tex]450 + 0.20x \ge 35y[/tex]
The complete question implies that we define an inequality that represents the relationship between the number of hours worked in a week and the weekly sales
We make use of the following representation:
[tex]x \to[/tex] weekly sales from cars.
[tex]y \to[/tex] hours worked in a week
His weekly salary is then calculated as:
Salary (S) = Earnings per week + Commission * Sales from car
So, we have:
[tex]S = 450 + 20\% * x[/tex]
Express percentage as decimal
[tex]S = 450 + 0.20* x[/tex]
[tex]S = 450 + 0.20x[/tex]
Assume he works for y hours in a week.
His hourly rate is:
[tex]Hourly = \frac{S}{y}[/tex] --- i.e. weekly salary divided by number of hours
[tex]Hourly = \frac{450 + 0.20x}{y}[/tex]
For this rate to be at least [tex]\$35[/tex], the following condition must be true
[tex]Hourly \ge 35[/tex] --- i.e. is hourly rate must be greater than or equal 35
So, we have:
[tex]\frac{450 + 0.20x}{y} \ge 35[/tex]
Multiply both sides by y
[tex]450 + 0.20x \ge 35y[/tex]

What percent of 500 is 125
Answer:
25%
Step-by-step explanation:
125 of 500 can be written as: 125 /500
To find a percentage, we need to find an equivalent fraction with the denominator 100. Multiply both numerator & denominator by 100.
125 /500 × 100 /100
= ( 125 × 100/ 500 ) × 1 /100 = 25 /100
Answer:
25%
Step-by-step explanation:
Of means multiply and is means equals
P *500 = 125
Divide each side by 500
P = 125/500
P = .25
Change to percent form
P = 25%

AB←→||CD←→. Find the measure of ∠BFG.
Answer:
Value of ∠ BFG = 135°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
AB || CD
∠ AFG = (3x + 15)°
∠ FGD = (5x - 5)°
Find:
∠ BFG
Computation:
We know that;
∠ AFG = ∠ FGD
3x + 15 = 5x - 5
3x - 5x = - 5 - 15
- 2x = - 20
2x = 20
x = 10
Value of ∠ AFG = 3x + 15
Value of ∠ AFG = 3(10) + 15
Value of ∠ AFG = 45°
∠ BFG = 180° - Value of ∠ AFG
∠ BFG = 180° - 45°
∠ BFG = 135°
Value of ∠ BFG = 135°

X^4+x^3-6x^2-14x-12=0 Make a list of possible rational roots. Test the possible roots until you find one that produces a remainder of 0 Write the resulting cubic function. Use synthetic division to find a second root that will reduce the cubic expression to a quadratic expression
Step-by-step explanation:
The Rational Roots Test states that for a polynomial with integer coefficients, the factors of the constant / the factors of the leading coefficient are the possible rational roots.
Here, the constant (the value without an x attached to it) is -12 and the leading coefficient (the value that the x to the highest degree is multiplied by) is 1 as x⁴ is multiplied by 1. The factors of -12 are
±(1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12), so the possible rational roots are ±(1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12)/1 (as 1 is the only factor of 1).
Trying out a few roots until we get one that works using synthetic division, we can try
x+1 (the root is x=-1)
-1 | 1 1 -6 -14 -12
| -1 0 6 8
__________________________
1 0 -6 -8 -4
the remainder is -4, so this does not work
x+2 (the root is x=-2)
-2 | 1 1 -6 -14 -12
| -2 2 8 12
__________________________
1 -1 -4 -6 0
Therefore, x=-2 is a root and x+2 is a factor of the polynomial. The quotient of the polynomial and x+2 is
-6 + (-4)x + (-1)* x² + 1 * x³ = x³-x²-4x-6
Using the rational roots theorem, the possible roots of x³-x²-4x-6 are
±(1,2,3,6)
Starting with
x-1 (root is x=1), we have
1 | 1 -1 -4 -6
| 1 0 -4
_____________________
1 0 -4 -10
there is a remainder, so this is not a root
next, x-2 (root is x=2)
2 | 1 -1 -4 -6
| 2 2 -4
_____________________
1 1 -2 -10
there is a remainder, so this is not a root
next, x-3 (root is x=3)
3| 1 -1 -4 -6
| 3 6 6

-6x + 3x + 3x = -9 + 21 - 12

Step-by-step explanation:
Angle A is a vertical angle to 120 and vertical angles are equal

Because vertically opposite angles are always equal.
A hot air balloon is released into the air. During its straight ascent, the angle of elevation was 15° and, 3 minutes later, the angle of elevation increased 20°. How fast is the balloon traveling, in km/h, if the angle measurements were taken 300m away from the launch site?
Answer:
The speed of the balloon is 0.16 m/s.
Step-by-step explanation:
CD = 300 m
Let AD = x
AB = y
time, t = 3 min
Triangle, ADC
[tex]tan 15 = \frac{AD}{BC}\\\\0.27 \times 300 = x \\\\x = 80.4 m[/tex]
Triangle, BCD
[tex]tan 20 = \frac{BD}{BC}\\\\0.36 \times 300 = x + y \\\\x + y = 109.2 m[/tex]
So, y = 109.2 - 80.4 = 28.8 m
Speed = 28.8/180 = 0.16 m/s

If a sine curve has a vertical shift down 19 units with an amplitude of 21, what will the minimum and maximum values be? (i.e. how high and low will the graph go?)
Min Value:
Max Value:
Given:
Amplitude = 21
Vertical shift = 19 units down
To find:
The maximum and the minimum value.
Solution:
The general form of sine function is:
[tex]y=A\sin (Bx+C)+D[/tex]
Where, |A| is amplitude, [tex]\dfrac{2\pi}{B}[/tex] is period, [tex]-\dfrac{C}{B}[/tex] is phase shift and D is the vertical shift.
Here,
[tex]Maximum=D+A[/tex]
[tex]Minimum=D-A[/tex]
We have,
Amplitude: [tex]A = 21[/tex]
Vertical shift: [tex]D=-19[/tex]
Negative sign means shifts downwards.
Now,
[tex]Maximum=D+A[/tex]
[tex]Maximum=-19+21[/tex]
[tex]Maximum=2[/tex]
And,
[tex]Minimum=D-A[/tex]
[tex]Minimum=-19-21[/tex]
[tex]Minimum=-40[/tex]
Therefore, the minimum value is -40 and the maximum value is 2.
